it has always been the case so we have parting of the ship spiral and i think you need to step up or do another level in terms of sus tuning the isolation campaign because usually in the past you have done this but then again you have left to go off the pressure there are diplomatic grab international i think we need to lobby china as we should be we need to not be the organization of islamic cooperation. we need to of course use the best of countries and their pride and create a regional consensus that this is not acceptable and changed our plans behavior on a lot of us a defense and security analyst based in islamabad she joins us via skype from there we appreciate your time very much so pakistan says it was not involved if we a so that that were true can pakistan do something to stop splinter groups from doing these types of acts. pakistan is far from being involved in this it could have been this attack i as

a pakistani journalist says the fact is funny the prison directive condemned the setback and i agreed with the families of the deceased but having said that india needs to invest spec'd in itself in its own policies in the wall crimes that has been undertaking in indian occupied us meet since nineteen ninety able since the. special problems act was implemented in the valley and ever since then did a full impunity granted to the law enforcement agencies and put it only to the india not need to carry out want to have good it may be to suppress the right. to film a nation and freedom struggle so it's not just on the slaughter from being dead and any kind of thing going through and i strongly deny that on behalf of my office on the authorities but having said that india needs to stop jumping the book and let me ask you something you've laid out a lot of criticisms of india and that that is one part of the conversation but the question i asked is do you think pakistan can be doing more to suppress groups that

are doing things like this regardless of what your critiques are of india. fund would certainly do that it can and it should do because pakistan has to undertake in this watergate instead of them on its own soil and we have achieved commit activist victories in that war against it isn't good also in inboards and helping negotiate the fund that it won so focused on it is doing whatever that it can to do it advocate from not just not just its own soil but also across the region and that includes india as well these elements that we're talking about these are basically back and they are being undertaken by the shmita you focused on has nothing to do with these events and i know they're jumping the gun on this particular. movement or by muscle doesn't have muscle does it is definitely in pakistan but having said that he is not he is not at all operating in the way that the indian forces or the indian media is trying to who are the indian government is

trying to claim that let me ask you this will see so if let me ask you this when india says that he's off explosives ok yes please thank you thank you when we went and when in fact most of i mean ask you a question they delayed as a delay is what's getting the best of us so i'm just going to push through it and it'll catch up when india says that it will isolate pakistan what does that look like what does that really me. india has been making a bold claim since the twenty sixteen or twenty fifteen i believe fresh air live you thought of prime minister not in the room with the making those claims when he though sought conference that was supposed to happen in pakistan and that was for the betterment of the region not just fall pakistan or not just for the betterment of india so i think pakistan has been making efforts since then and good still willing to open up or die of all but it is india who's been boycotting well who's been obstructing the passage of dialogue between india and pakistan these two

countries have tutors on that issues so dialogue because this seems no other way to bold the new kid who bought these a new kid on the neighborhood so i think dialogue is the way up to this and to this community indigenous problem the plebiscite is to be in for implemented in indian occupied kashmir as well as the pakistani. need one thousand nine hundred forty years so i think this is something that which is a prerequisite by both india and pakistan but pakistan has not been using any kind of force against the minister general in fresh meat which is on a sunny day to treat. farm to table but has been constant in this moment of that and just before now which india is facing ok we will have to let that be the final word and i did hear you say that dialogue is the way out thank you so much for joining us from islamabad appreciate it very much. plenty more ahead in the news hour and clothing haiti's president breaks his silence after

a week of protests calling on him to resign also. the. british prime minister theresa may suffers another setback as she tries to renegotiate a brics a deal and in sports the new orleans pelicans call off or when despite losing their star player to an injury details coming out. saying prime minister has called for a general elections after losing a key budget vote later sanchez wants the snap poll to take place on the twenty eighth of april this will be the third election in four years on thursday politicians who support independence for the cattle in your region were among those who voted against the proposed budget they were angry about the trial of twelve separatist leaders on sedition charges throws professor of comparative politics com poll since the university of madrid she joins us via skype hope i got that right

ruth thank you so much for joining us when we say three elections in four years what does that say about the state of things in spain. well you just really. would work for that. polarized political scenario. is there more if most polarized political reasons the end of would it or should be. by many political forces in dispute to gain. in these seats and they are the parliament in a trio. these days we were thinking about to really bring dates april may and the four but probably the april. call it is the best one for the government plan to. do to go and it can sell a really powerful these girls against nationalism and their great fire. and

then. the way in the local and your election. how concerned are you about they emergence of the right wing in spain. i mean unmoderated concern i mean i'm concerned because this is the first planet. with. the finest parliament but under the side of all these suits where via the of we are bigger than the we were next that and you're no exception here in which we have only one b.b. . inside there we got liberals conservatives christian democrats and right right. people so now they are guests getting out of the fucking a book we are so now we know exactly who are who are the forces behind that so i

don't think they will get more than ten percent of the total of the issue. the cattle out in peace has not been resolved and they continue to be able to have an impact on the way things run in spain how can that how much longer will that continue. i mean there is no light at the end of the tunnel so hard. who got in the middle to try all new solutions are going to be killed in the in the middle of this trial against nationals leave the earth and we have to remind here that one of the political forces book these new. political course is one of. those of these nationalising so they were how they're going to have a really. hard or. two to talk about against a national national you do there and it and it gets going and so diverse the first

thing we have to take into account is. the visual power has been to one shore all these political. political as they've been given by the political course and the trial against nationally and in living with it we will see in the. next electoral campaign will be the name these courses are going around. the girl or there are issues that are more concerning the rest of the sense that. troubling. prayer thank you so much for your insight we appreciate it joining us from madrid thank you very much world leaders are meeting and germany to decide how to contain the icefall threat as the group has lost almost all of its territory and syria and iraq defeating ice was likely to face if it sure at the next security conference speakers from the u.s.

russia rod and the european union will be addressing delegates their governments have a different strategy on the issue arsenal hubbard joins us live now from munich so what are the biggest challenge is that everyone who is at this conference faces. rochelle or me step out of the frame to give you an idea about what's happening here this is behind me you can see the whole of this is the value of the security conference since it was launched in nineteen sixty three has been a gathering of countries championing the ideals of the international liberal order multilateralism and corporation and it's time they were tackling just a security challenges back in the seventy's of the sixty's it was the soviet bloc after nine eleven it was groups affiliated with al qaida and ice but now the converse is that the biggest threat to europe could be autocratic great

powers china and russia in particular this explain why this time the chinese are sending the highest level delegation ever to the confidence to allay some of the fears of the concerns of the west people are concerned that. because themselves are sending the highest congressional delegation house because nancy pelosi is going to be here and vice president mike pence is expected to deliver a speech to the interaction between the americans the russians and chinese in particular would be very important for the international media presence here it might give us an indication about whether those countries would be able to mend fences or we'll see more attention if that happens the conference says it's concerned that this could lead to an armed precedent an arms race and arms and trade war in the future so this is particularly the biggest concern for the

conference and world leaders here when you talk about mending fences let's talk about the issue of iran the u.s. has been pushing for much tougher sanctions are they any closer to getting any any more support on that any type of consensus at all. russia vice president turns in was so spoke about the need for a tougher international stance and he said that the e.u. by implementing the financial mechanism to see themselves from any u.s. sanctions is undermining the very essence of the. of the of the strategy against iran they want to push the european union to pull out from the nuclear deal this is something which is never the not going to happen because the problem that we're going to see here in a mere is that the e.u. along with many countries believe that the best way to engage with iran in the future is to stay with the nuclear deal of two thousand and fifteen but also to try

to look for different ways because ultimately if you want to solve a war in syria you need to have the iranians or board if you want to solve the problem in yemen you need to have the iranians on board there's a growing sentiment here that the u.s. is pursuing a unilateral aggressive approach and that this could just further backfire and push the iranians themselves to take a robust approach in the near future particularly in a region which is the middle east be set by instability and violence ok hosmer hamara with the latest for us out of new nick thank you. three hundred toddlers are dying every day because of war that is the assessment from the rights group save the children it says one hundred thousand kids under the age of one have died every year and conflicts including in yemen syria and iraq that's more than half a million over the last five years the deaths increase to eight hundred seventy thousand of children under the age of five are included and these figures do not

include those who have been killed directly by fighting altogether four hundred twenty million children live in war sounds. is the head of humanitarian policy an advocacy at save the children and one of the authors of that report he joins us now from london thank you very much for your time obviously war is nothing new what is different this time what is what is making these numbers so much worse. but i think there's three distinct things to say here and these are hugely worrying numbers and a terrible trend and it's what we're seeing i think is children paying the heaviest price for the wars of adults i think there's three things one is the proximity to conflict the children are now facing so the numbers almost one in five children worldwide now living in a conflict zone and that's partly linked to the idea of complex becoming increasingly protracted and in your reports over the last previous two reports india pakistan kashmir longstanding conflict the syrian conflict longer than world

war two people in iraq have known only two years of no war and sanctions over the last thirty days the second trend is towards the direct harm that conflict is causing children and that is increasingly grave violations against them this is the attacks on their schools and hospitals so they are saying that system children are saying children being specifically targeted. exactly and the u.n. does have a system of tracking the numbers of gray violations conduct committed against children and those numbers are worse than they've ever been there are a tripling of those numbers in the last twenty years so i think we are increasingly seeing children at the front lines of conflict and then the indirect consequences of conflicts are even worse and those are the numbers you started your report with the idea that we're seeing on average three hundred babies a day die because of denial of things like clean water and nutrition and food that is the kind of real cost of conflict today and i think the fact that we're

launching this report of the new security conference is a reflection that this is a key strategic challenge of our time in you are launching it at this security conference or some of the. countries involved in this type of action are do you have the attention of the world enough is there enough being done to actually push for accountability no there's not enough being done but i think there is a recognition increasingly that for a long scale issues to have some form of conclusion and some form of sustainability the issue of children has to be addressed i think iraq is a brilliant case in point you have a population of iraq sixty percent of whom are children and you have this sort of reminiscence of the conflict around the city of mosul the largest urban operations since world war two and you have a huge moment here where i think the iraqi government and those coalition actors who were involved in that conflict against isis are very aware that they need to know to rebuild schools and homes but also children's lives and that requires

a huge amount of investment in mental health services and child protection in giving children hope for the future so i think increasingly what we made a moral argument and often the legal argument i think increasingly we're seeing this issue take on a strategic dimension and that's why so many of the key states that need security conference should take heed of what the report says james to save the children thank you very much. yes president donald trump is on a collision course with democrats and congress congress that is after saying he will declare a national emergency to secure funding for a border wall with mexico a bill to avoid another government shutdown has passed both houses on thursday but it denies trump the money he says he needs to build that barrier john hendren has more from washington d.c. i actually think it's bad politics as president trump ended one showdown with congress he set off another the yeas are eighty three nays are sixty ending the threat of another government shutdown the senate and house of representatives

passed a spending bill that does not include the five point seven billion dollars president trump wanted for a border wall with mexico but as the president signaled he would sign that measure the white house said trump will also declare a national emergency on the border giving him access to contingency funds that congress has already approved he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time and i've indicated to him that i'm going to prepare to support the national emergency declaration democratic leaders immediately promise to challenge president trump couldn't convince mexico he couldn't convince the american people he couldn't convince their elected representatives to pay for his ineffective and expensive wall so now he's trying an end run around congress in a desperate attempt to put taxpayers on the hook for it make no mistake.

congress will defend our constitutional authorities in every way that we can democrats say it's hard to argue that illegal immigration is a crisis when border arrests are at a forty year low we will review our options we hared to respond appropriately to it i know the republicans have some unease about it no matter what they say because if the president can to clear an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency and it is in the lucian that he wants to convey just think of what a president with different values can present to the american people democrats and even some republicans warn the president is setting a dangerous precedent opening the door for future presidents to achieve unilaterally what they could not get out of congress a future democratic president they say could one day declare global warming or gun violence to be national emergencies the democrats who control the house have already signaled they will vote on a bill to block emergency funding for

a border wall but in the republican controlled senate that measure is unlikely to pass if trump can overcome a certain court challenge that would give him the chance to fulfill his promise to funded two thousand mile wall if not the promise that mexico would pay for it john hendren zero washington china's president xi jinping has met members of a u.s. trade delegation as part of efforts to end a trade war between the world's largest economies the u.s. treasury secretary and beijing to work out an agreement on tariffs the two sides are trying to reach a deal before march first when the u.s. plans to increase levies on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports adrian brown joins us now from beijing so a.j. we don't have a lot of details of what's being discussed but what do we know about how they stocks are going. well richelle it's not a great deal that i can tell you we know that these talks have now ended we know that the u.s.

delegation is on its way back to washington but according to the south china morning post newspaper which is generally quite a reliable source for official information concerning the chinese government these talks are going to resume in washington next week so they have effectively adjourned it seems until then it seems that while there's been sort of goodwill on both sides there hasn't been enough progress to to reach a deal and i guess it's not surprising michel because there are believe it or not more than one hundred issues on the table this is a very complex negotiation and of course it was always going to be in doubt whether all this could be resolved in such a tight time frame remember march the first in beijing march the second in washington is the deadline that has been set by president trump he says if there's no deal by then he's going to impose tariffs on some two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods raising those tariffs from ten to twenty five percent so you

know tick tock goes the clock this thing could go right down to the line but at the moment it seems that the talks are still i guess kind of in a holding pattern right adrian brown with the latest from beijing entering. and if we watch the weather when everton still ahead on al-jazeera but telling the stories of unsung heroes who risked their lives to report crimes against humanity and sport the reigning wimbledon champion closes in on another title with that story. well you might just have noticed from our early a pitches in munich and in london that the sun is out across central and western parts of europe and it's warm sunshine as well it will hang on to the spring like

weather could see if this live hour of high pressure that we have just settled there across the central parts that surround texas back here at least inside of germany is keeping these weather systems by they're trying to make their way in from the atlantic but not really making much progress on underneath that sunshine but a walk to the sun now it's heading further north of course we're getting upset around thirteen or fourteen celsius there for london and paris maybe even a touch higher than that so it will cease looking at a wall that's was moscow's well even here we're getting up to around two degrees celsius and it should be around minus four southwest don't see too bad slushy dry croisset eastern side over here but down to the southeast we've got some weather inclement weather athens at around nine degrees celsius with some showers and longer spells of right up into the northwest you can see we're hanging on to that fine dry weather with a clear skies and as we go through friday into saturday a similar picture the cloud tries to make some inroads into our lives but it doesn't really make much progress as we go on through saturday and on into sunday

it's a similar picture but a chance of some rights floaty making its way to the far northwest. sponsored town. zero explores prominent figures of the twentieth century and how one who reads influenced the course of history beginning with the giants of the struggle for civil rights the most of them through just the most over a variable of first look at me and continue to meet growth would be different to me but. i'm more to use who came to fix. the latest news as it breaks health officials say vaccination rates here have dropped significantly with detailed coverage badged on to the street his fellow break the country has to work when despite being the underdog in the tournaments.

funds are unaccounted for the money in question was part of an oil assistance program called bit look at even the present time if one comes from. former president hugo chavez who wanted to have self self. we've countries in the last week out. but what happens. is that all those. they don't realize the evidence of mismanaged funds can be seen across the country in unfinished infrastructure projects like this half built overpass even renovation the national parliament building a multi-million dollar effort financed in part with bit to get even money is still far from completed more than seven years since construction began. making his first public appearance since the protests started on february seventh president condemned the violence on the streets but didn't outline any steps toward finding

a resolution. an aide to the haitian president says the flames of the discontent are being fanned by the president's political opponents. ation politicians always want to get rid of the president after a year or two that's why we have this chronic instability the president wants and he's open to have a frank dialogue. while the latest protests in haiti are linked to the bad look at even scandal discontent with the government has been mounting since the aftermath of the two thousand and ten earthquake where more than one hundred thousand people were killed with widespread poverty a declining economy and new evidence of systemic corruption and you're finally reached a boiling point on the streets of the haitian capital. we're in downtown port au prince where there is in an easy call as people pick up the pieces after more than a week of protests there still roadblocks set up that are preventing the free flow of traffic and attention that seems to suggest that the unrest may not be over just

yet anti-government demonstrators have renewed calls for more protests continuing to demand the resignation of the president a condition that moyes has made no indication of accepting the more moderate figures of the opposition are calling for a national dialogue one that includes voices from all sectors of haitian society however remains to be seen both sides will be able to find a lasting resolution to the ongoing political crisis when we're up a little dizzy to port au prince. of a vote is likely to play a major part in nigeria's presidential and parliamentary elections on saturday jobs are increasingly scarce and the cost of living as rising arma toss about young people in the capital of her own looking for change. absolutely mohammed says he's voting for the thirst time in saturday's election but he is frustrated the twenty year old from his school and confines work to try and survive he sells water on the street taking the law does the law here i want the government to look after the
