u.k. prepares to leave the european union. china blocks millions of its own people from flights and trains. so called social credit critics say it's part of a human scoring system violates basic rights. and israeli television presenters harshly criticized for saying that the occupation is turning israeli soldiers into human animals with that story and you can connect with us throughout the show using the hash tag. with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook. dot com i want more than forty indian soldiers were killed last thursday in indian administered kashmir the government promised a swift response to one of the worst attacks on its forces and then on monday indian soldiers surrounded have. in the same area looking for suspects they came on

the heavy gunfire leading to a battle that killed four soldiers two suspected members of an armed group and a civilian and the incident is now adding to the already tense atmosphere around the region and pakistan has now hold back its high commissioner from new delhi let's go live now to fez jemaine in new delhi so what so what spin happening now what is the latest you're hearing right now. well the latest we heard is that this battle is still going on there hasn't been any firing in the past few hours but about three or four hours ago it was reported that several soldiers and police officers have been injured from gunfire and were taken to hospital now as you mentioned a big part of this battle which began nearly twenty four hours ago began when security forces surrounded a home in a village in the district of indian administered kashmir there was a gun battle between two gunmen four soldiers and

a civilian were killed and the gunman escaped security forces vengefully caught up with him several hours later there's another gun battle and then the two gunmen were then killed and then a few hours later we have this latest with those soldiers and police officers being injured as well so this just cause a high lights that that one incidents that happened last week where at least forty paramilitary soldiers were killed would really raise tension this area and it's really heightened alert this battle for instance is still going on and the search continues for more gunman and of course this isn't the first time that there's been violence like this in kashmir just just give us a sense of of why. this is such a sensitive region. when it comes particularly to tensions between india and pakistan. and

that goes back to the creation of india and pakistan from colonial colonial india when the u.k. was out india as their colony. became police officially not part of either country and then you know two out of three wars that india has fought have been over kashmir as well because it originally had a hindu ruler but a majority muslim population this has led to contention that should have belonged to india should belong to pakistan was it rightful for the maharaja to sign it over to india or was it rightful because the population majority muslim it should go to baucus tan but it's been a really contentious issue which is why the region is divided now baucus on has tried to get third parties involved even the united nations try to sell the dispute but india has always said no to that they said no to every third party they say this is strictly a bilateral issue between them and pakistan and they want to be resolved between them all right thanks very much for that. joining us from new delhi

welcome to hide it has been monitoring developments from pakistan's capital. tensions are running high between india and baugus don over the disputed kashmir day india is of course blaming the guest on for months to minding the deadly attack on an indian corn voyager story could go and also of course of aiding the kashmiri militants however focused on had said all along that they need to be edgy lucian's of the issue pockets on ready to draw on any differences with india across that day by the india of course refuting and what many people say as but have ploy by the indian government which wants to you this issue because of the upcoming elections the budgets on these every quarter day high commissioner in new delhi for consultation this was a move prompted by the indians recalling their high commissioner for consultations

however although the indians and august arnie's have been ordered over this issue india warns that the issue of kashmir should be something guided by laterally between the two countries however the so default and minister weighing in on that saying that david tried their level best to try to deescalate tensions between these two nuclear neighbors. and i'm precedented level of fake news has been shared online following this attack angie chappelle is our social media producer and you how big an issue is this or one of the big problems we've seen is that there are some there's a lot of photo shopped images that end up going viral and many of them are quite badly done this one for example shows raoul gandhi the president of india's opposition congress party with the suicide bomber who was behind last thursday's attack it's not some people who don't know whether this imagery is real or fake to conclude that the opposition played

a role many other such images and videos started circulating immediately after that attack these that you're looking at here were fact checked on twitter by boom that's an independent online journalism initiative that's working to combat the spread of false information in india now. he works with facebook's india office he tweeted this and it's quite interesting he says that he's never seen anything like this before particularly the scale of fake content circulating on one story now india's central reserve police force that's the paramilitary unit that was attacked in kashmir they tweeted a warning that people are using fake pictures for one reason to invoke hatred so they're asking the public to report any suspected fake content that they come across now there have been several cases of mob violence in india over the past year due to rumors that we're spreading on social media in june five men were killed by a lynch mob after people on whatsapp accuse them of ducting children now the companies themselves are taking action as well it should be noted in the lead up to

india's twenty nineteen elections facebook has partnered with various news media and fact checking firms to review the stories that are posted on their platform for accuracy we've also seen google india which is added a fact check sidebar you might see it there on the right that is to debug misinformation and whatsapp has decided to run television and radio ads with over two hundred million users more people in. in india forward messages pictures and videos on whatsapp than anywhere else in the world. forwarded some of the news on the family group. message i just followed it just as he did on some random girl and made him understand that he can use can cause a fight. we shouldn't talk a little danger this way she couldn't. believe that. it was time for. the like of us joy not true. well if you're in india

we'd like to hear your thoughts on the story so get on twitter and send us a tweet using the hash tag it is good thanks andrew we're going to talk about this more now with. she is the founder of boom the fact checking website that we just mentioned he joins us via skype now from mumbai thanks very much for being with us govinda so i want to ask you how how pervasive is this problem of fake news as it relates to stories around kashmir and and who's driving it. i would say the problem of thinking is this both ways it's been pervasive for a long time now several years that we've been tracking it about two more than. it actually sat in many ways that incidents like this and you know the last time this happened was in june when they were upside down in the southwestern bit of india. in india and what actually made more news the state news and it's the most with some reason every disaster over the manmade are natural seems to be triggered

a flood of fake news which obviously that up people who are using old images videos the buzzing them and distributing them for different reasons in this case in the case of kashmir and that is some of this dust and leak that are back be beefy more than. more than sixteen of seventeen fake news host. boards are items stuff that's been distributed on what they have on which one and ninety percent or ninety five percent of misinformation gets distributed in india so i don't think it would be a connector thing but you did to me is our editor back i think is particular to many situations and people jumping in to make some sort of or did i felt sort of effort to let it go the social community out of it and give us an idea then of what are some of the worst examples of these fake news stories. i don't know what it was

because most of them for instance in this case are to do with images of bodies their bodies a car bombing in syria a bombing in iraq mark security drills videos on some other place and or an image of a helicopter crash victim. you know other doctored images are i think if your colleague mentioned about politically the taliban the allegedly standing next to the perpetrator of this bomb attack so i think it only gets worse in terms of how gruesome that image of that video is and the amazing ability of people to actually use this this clearly sad moment with some kind of agenda or in some cases people are why it is them i mean using using these images to create to create life and and. respond with with our life book and other sorts of media that are and how how important is it then to to kind of educate the public about about these

kind of fake news stories and the ability to see them. as as as fake i mean you talked earlier there about the photoshop the image of mist again the i mean if you're familiar with pictures and the composition of pictures isn't isn't easy to tell if a picture is from his photoshop for example. you know that's a good i think people are more aware now as you mentioned last year there were more than thirty people die thanks to rumors spread on what that would lead to killings and i mean attention and after which and this is very up in about august of last year after wages slowed down because local law enforcement officials in many parts of india stepped up the effort to educate and then as you mentioned even the social media back on topic massive edge campaigns to you know to advertising but i think i've been to educate and inform people but i think somehow maybe instances like this bring out the emotional worst in people and perhaps many people are not

causing issues t.v. either something is true or untrue i don't have a blind in mind the vision big my sense is that more people were busy got the images like the one you just mentioned then perhaps ever before but it's quite clear that a lot of people and this is the last country and hundreds of millions of people accessing whatsapp or social media through their smartphones a lot of people need to be educated and obviously more importantly to to look at all of these images videos and the context in which they're presented with the combine and that's not going to be easy but i was proud optimistic then particularly awful lot there that people would be more cautious for that than the next big thing that's available like i said natural or man made him but i've been quite disappointed and saddened by the kind of reaction that these being in the last three or four that. it is a never ending battle to combat this this kind of stuff we appreciate you talking

to us about it gov indra going to dodge that she in mumbai thanks very much thank you. now we there's more on kashmir on al-jazeera dot com our web site this piece on the ongoing violence by political anthropologists says a greater army presence in kashmir has led to more incidents of victimization and radicalization you can read that article on our website there are talk come along with lots more of the stories that we're covering for you because we want to hear from you on lots of these stories you can send us your comments to any of our online platforms were on twitter just use the hash tag a.j. news grid our handle is a j english were also on facebook facebook dot com slash zero or you can send us a message on whatsapp or telegram plus nine seven four five zero one trip or one forty nine there's a number on your screen now saudi arabia's minister of state for foreign affairs has lashed out at iran over accusations of terrorism iran first blamed saudi arabia

and the united arab emirates for a suicide attack that killed twenty seven security forces last week it later concluded separatists operating on iran's border region with pakistan carried out the attack. his passivity in the transport of terrorists across this territory until the last computer will take you is going to sort of put into sleep if you don't so dude has been the victim of terrorism we've. been fortunate in that we have been absolute good enough to the terrorists and those who support them and can do with an influence or. two through this to contribute is the chief sponsor of terrorism. but solution to the institution we're trying to. use is in the country. where was speaking in pakistan during the saudi crown prince's two day visit there but pakistan also happens to share a nine hundred kilometer border with iran iran has often condemned attacks

targeting pakistan's shia minority separatist from iran's minority sunni community have been operating out of pakistan and claimed responsibility for last week's attack iran summoned the pakistani ambassador telling his government to go after the attackers before iran takes matters into its own hands oh indeed shame shame sulu hassen is a former diplomat who served as pakistan's high commissioner to the united kingdom he joins us now from london thanks very much for being with us so pakistanis is having to walk something of a diplomatic tight here isn't it between saudi arabia on the one hand and iran on the other with whom it shares a border as we mentioned in. we had to be had a really good visit there by conference so the mountain mama and buck pakistan just

really just ended today and he had we signed about seven m. or use between the two countries it was all congo doria until the statement by this saudi foreign minister in which he accused iran from pakistani territory of being at that best a sponsoring country which was not do you no good put to a call in the says that you are not supposed to use a second country for your buy that drone attacks like that you don't buy a letter that text like the one that they foreign is so divided as to dead probably weighs in expedia door it was dead a great we have to see because governor barbour's tan has not reacted to strongly on that it is quite an down but the air is resentment in the public in pakistan as to why this was allowed by the government of pakistan. we have to wait and see how things turn out for that bright day the current president gone to india and again

the days vileness to mention about there these and hiding of tensions between india and bugs dandridge again has been very alarming because of the recent killings and provide up. we are in a difficult situation both pakistan and the on iran and in all these are three our neighbors that we have and we have to sort of things through negotiations over successive governments i've been trying for bilateral dogs but sun fortunately due to some reason of the other we have not been able to have a breakthrough in the sense that we had mr moody had good relations with prime minister nawaz sharif and when dr mr nouri mankind came into power he also tried to start restart the negotiations but the nothing has come of it so it seems that it has something more to do with it indian elections won the election at the end and things settled in and out of and mr body either wins or loses whatever then things

will become clear what sort of policy in the government of a lab results because really or. pakistan so far we feel that things are in a difficult in the sense that it is heating up and that these an incident was very tragic and again there was a blame game we were accused of being in war some of our. proxy elements were accused of being involved in this coming just coming back to the just coming back to the iran saudi situation and how it relates to to pakistan how should pakistan handle this then given it has quite a lot invested in its relationship with the saudis. they're exactly part of the prize so days out have been a good friends of pakistan so as a around been as old as ever invested a lot of money in pakistan now and have given us so much as assistance to the

government which as in real difficult financial difficulties it would be very embarrassing for the government to send out to do some sort of damage repair in the sense that don too has been a very good friend of pakistan and we didn't have a have a had this sort of relations ever that on iran was and never was tied to us and now with the saudis you know this of the covering mogwai this foreign minister has really caused some sort of breach which will have to be repaired by the government of pakistan by talking to they don and then explaining to them the situation and saw what they were required to talk to these not to use bogside only because you know miranda had given the pledge that he will not allow pakistani data to be used by any foreign country or for the benefit of any of our country good to speak with you. thanks very much for being with us now spain and britain's

long running dispute over the status of gibraltar is heating up as the u.k.'s exit from the european union approaches a spanish warship ordered commercial ships to leave waters near gibraltar before it was challenged by the british navy the government of the british overseas territory says the spanish ship sailed away after the confrontation of peter klepper is the head of the brussels office of open europe the joins us live now from brussels thanks very much for being with us so what do you think is going on here or what's what's the motivation is as well behind. it behind spain here and why this was why this action was taken by one of their warships. well a many people of course immediately think of all the briggs it and spain sort of trying to gain some leverage from this. like one can only wonder how that would work now that's kind of strange because the spanish have already gained

a concession which is that they will have a veto over the future status off. drop which really is a fake concession because every european country really will have a veto over the future in you u.k. trade arrangement the real likelihood is that spain really is doing that because there will be elections in spain in about two months time and the current left wing government has been perceived as not being too patch retic because they have been too flexible and in the eyes of many regards to the. regional lists so if this is as you're suggesting just a bit of saber rattling on them on the part of spain then should we expect things to just end there i think so the government is trying

to gain some nationalistic brownie points it's not doing well in the polls it could well be that spain is going to have a right wing government but severe course still two months away so i guess if they're so this brutal ready girl knows what else we can expect but at the end of the day they too must realize that this and this isn't actually going to change all that much i don't really think that spanish public opinion. that they will be money plated by this does it have any implications then for britain and its impending withdrawal from the european union. well of course it's not really contributing to good relations is it. the british are very wary of bo this continuous spanish attempts to second guess whether gibraltar is really british lately the

spanish managed to is sneak into some diplomatic this text that gibraltar really is a colony so we have incidents like this all the time now it's a warship will see what's next ultimately of course spain is not really on the hearts site they have an interest in a soft brakes it's. only because of the. many british tourists visiting spain every year but just because of the overall importance of the european project also for spain because if we want to make sure that the e.u. project is not going to be heard from bricks it is very important to have a soft breaks it a good deal whereby britain can leave the union on friendly terms good to speak repeat the klepper in brussels thank you for venezuela's government

has blocked european m.p.'s from entering the country opposition leader one wideout had invited them to meet the national assembly quite i was also trying to enlist a million volunteers to head to the border on saturday to receive foreign aid stored in neighboring countries. we're being expelled from venezuela our passports have been withheld we've not been informed of the reason nor do we have any document that justifies it because they have just thrown us out we came to venezuela with an official invitation from the national assembly a body that is recognized internationally and even recognized by the venezuelan president we are the first international delegation that was visiting the interim president one guy do when in a country a dictator closes the windows and turns off the lights that is when he goes from words to actions long live a free venezuela or let's cross live now to a latin america editor. what's the as there been any follow up

to the expulsion of those. i know has said the well the foreign minister of the new. one. looks like we've. lost our connection to apology for that we'll move on for now as the standoff between one. and president nicolas maduro goes on venezuelans continue to leave the country the crumbling economy has already forced out more than three million of them. spoke to some in the brazilian border town of. on brazil's border with venezuela the migrants continue to arrive many of them relieved at least for the moment to have seemingly put their desperation behind them back home jackson maria just twenty three years old had quit school to work in

a bakery and. young people like us can't achieve our goals in fitness well i had to stop my academic studies because it became a choice between studying and eating. but even that choice difficult as it may have been didn't make things much easier. the money i made from one week was only enough to buy me one kilo price. his friend i modify also twenty three tells me things were unbearable well before the current political crisis and can't help but laugh when describing the dark absurdity of the past few weeks ok when the so you say it made. people are now saying we have two presidents one issues in order the other refuses it one last for eight the other says the aid won't pos it's public disorder in politics and neither of them is looking out for the welfare of the people. but at this processing center in the town of parker dima run by

brazil's federal government and supported by the united nations refugee agency exhaustion is also palpable officials tell us that today alone over six hundred venezuelans cross from venezuela into brazil and many of those migrants will be applying for asylum and many of them will be seeking medical care but now we see more people arriving in very bad conditions arriving with the urgent need for medical attention so a lot of people can come here right here because they need to immediately transport to board these different care some people arrive here we actually do nothing but there will still be wearing stefania decided to leave when she realized it would be too expensive to have another baby in venezuela bolivia going to get them medicine but a surveillance on my sister said she couldn't believe i was leaving i said yes i'm going i took my child and left time i got here by getting rides and travelling for

two days and. like many others here she's happy for a brief respite in this very temporary setting where children play with soldiers and things do albeit fleetingly seem a little bit better. and parker dima on brazil's border with venezuela now for a face book for our viewers on facebook we've got an extra story for you now on a tweet that was posted by president donald trump that's got many people outweighs that's from our colleagues at a.j. plus and later and i do is president calling for his off to elections postponed on the eve of polling day. another shot in the cast been coming our frontal system heading south in fact

that's the arc of cloud that brought the first lot and he's the second not coming down so it's cold to share commuters would be schwarzer the result is thunderstorms and a bit of height like imagine all the terran you tend to get snow out of it that you'll notice that it's just this part around and further research something afghanistan is a development taking place dogs are running from tuesday overnight into wednesday more snow shows up particularly afghanistan was rain into the sas and down through pakistan leaving behind well actually if i'm looking pictures seven in toronto and all these time though i've been standing here it three rock in the levant the pictures been a fine one bit of a breeze but not much in the skies otherwise that's true for the south as well the tail end of the cloud shows so we might get a share out of it for example in kuwait and northern side and the following breeze and all that means once again it'll start to feel not quite as warm as you might like in riyadh and nineteen to twenty two degrees but the skies sloshy going to be white all blue significant rain has been reported in the middle of mozambique and

it's this arc is very easy to see rain of course some local flooding and of course has more to come in malawi mozambique and tanzania. everything you do is being analyzed it's being weighed and it's being measured to support those insurgencies are. to do things in secret that are unlawful or politically embarrassing all of the colleagues that i knew chose to retire from the n.s.a. big could not stand by and see all the work that they had done being used for mass surveillance digital dissidents on al-jazeera. whether it's cute and cuddly in australia wild and ferocious in bangladesh. thrice we dress is the balance between endangered wildlife and then noisy neighbors

it in if it taking a quick look at what's trending on our website as it at dot com these are the top stories. you've been looking at right now m.b.'s gets pakistan's highest honor after twenty billion dollars deals story we told you about a little bit earlier getting a lot of clicks singapore's out corruption song from you tube after threats loss more there for you top stories trending on our web site al-jazeera dot com. now millions of chinese people have been banned from traveling on planes and trains as the government expands its social credit program the ranks people's trustworthiness in twenty eighteen more than seventeen million people with low scores were barred from blind flight tickets and another five million from using high speed trains nearly four million companies have been blacklisted from

a number of activities including bidding on projects taking part in land or rights activists have raised concerns over china's bid to assign a personal score to each of its citizens and unlike most of the other chinese government websites that offer content in english the so-called trustworthiness blacklist was only available in chinese with dan wang is a china analyst for the economist intelligence unit she joins us via skype now from beijing thanks very much for being with us so just just explain to us for those one familiar with this social credit scheme how how it works and how the government there uses it some some would say to monitor people and and the way the way they behave towards the state. the sochaux credit system a works actually by principle very much similar to those in europe and america it's

just the chinese government is collecting data from a much broader type of indicators like whether people pay their loans on time what they say on the internet whether day visit their parents on time all sorts of those petty behaviors that we don't think normally would be including to about they need about the world but overall i still i want to believe that the government is trying to do this out of good intention is specially during this economic downturn there can be a lot of social unrest and economic stability is obviously to top priority for the top leadership so by doing those it's probably one of the easiest away for chinese government to improve the efficiency of a government but just by the sheer number and the lack of transparency of the program i can see this system can very much backfire but when you talk about those examples that you mentioned when people are being monitored for how long they're on the internet and how often they go to visit their parents and so on i mean for

people outside china it all sounds a little orwellian doesn't it. absolutely it just seems that the arm of china's government is really reaching too long. and for myself i really feel uncomfortable for to see all those millions of people are affected already by being denied of their access to flights and high speed rail because a lot of those people are actually all part of the most disadvantaged a group in china they're very much in need of bigger help if they did do something wrong on the key thing to help them is actually threaten cation to cheat teach them the consequence of their behavior and try to help them instead of just taking scores and i can see the system probably maybe by out of good intention but hurt the very much the group of people that it should help to start with so you say no that this is this is unfairly this could be unfairly rigged towards people on lower

incomes absolutely it is actually not a question of if this will hurt those most disadvantaged group of people but when and how bad this would be because there are already news here and there talking about some people really need access to rails and high speed rail to actually support their livelihoods but because they couldn't pay back their loans on time they couldn't do this or actually they have extra babies that are not allow so their scores are factis and i think this is really this really fundamentally it's a social justice problem it's also about how they draw the line because i know that many of the top leadership and their families are not including the system and then eventually who is being being monitored and which group are actually being helped is there on clear and if there's enough pushback against this is it likely that the

chinese government will will respond well we'll try to adapt it in any way. well i certainly hope this social credit rating system will be one of those crossing the river by feeling a stone type of program because now is still a factor millions of people it's still a small fraction of china's population but i do not think this is the time that we'll see a massive protests against those especially during this economic downturn i believe most people still would want some more help from the government because china choose to be told that chimes aside is not the most trusting society strangers rarely help each other if you stay in china long enough you will bump into some sort of scam current scheme like internet fraud and there's a very a few away that can use actively on actually regulate this sort of behavior so by

creating a social credit system the government actually provides some more deterrence to some of the bad behavior but i just don't see that to desist i'm kelly last along especially when i see those numbers after a very comfortable and i believe many people are living in tiny cities all three of their come as well get to speak. now nigeria's president has called for an investigation into why national elections were postponed by a week how to hardy's ruling party held an emergency meeting in a budget on the election commission's surprise decision to move the vote to saturday its he said the commission needed to explain itself. definitely there read. what i said competence many of his

a last hissy impoundments is girls and we've been through i think it's the regulations that we are introducing there to protect the sanctity of fan and open competition and that's really what we're here to defend. now it's worth noting that south africa's government is footing the bill for seven years battle with the i.w. half the country sports minister confirmed that it's going to spend one point seven million dollars to help the elim pick champion fight her case in switzerland this week sports minister. says it is a gross violation of human rights we can get more on this now from our sports correspondent welling's in london leigh this is a case that is likely to leave even the forecasts many extremely unhappy now it is a sensitive and difficult subject as well isn't it you know harper androgen is a strong very sensitive difficult subject for i think it's governing body in everybody involved not least because there's so many another starting point for

a fix for governing body that is what i call the sanctity of fair competition where we can all understand where they're coming from with that that they want to protect all they're afraid of what they call a level playing field or level voting truck and that's why this has come about in the first place but all of a being fair overall cost us a mania and others it's certainly a case that's causing all sorts of logical damage on top of the fact that they're asking her to change physically they're asking her to take medication let's say the coast of somalia dolls when. job obviously be in the clear but if she loses you have to look six months on you're talking about the world championships in doha she's looking for a four hundred liters total she would have to start taking the medication before the end of march and is this something that she would be prepared to do she doesn't have to look into switching events and going to a long distance this is not her speciality at all you can see how unfair this is is

you can see how the south african government of why they would come forward and try to defend her under indeed this is something to human rights groups of looked into how do you casts reach a verdict in this one and then what happens after that. or were afraid of lost to the job but i imagine you've just hope you've had time to ask me a second question about what will happen now with this case in the zine is one of many will say that the court of arbitration for sport by last this one is going to last for one usual time five days we're going to have a legal arguments after that are those arguments of taken place we won't get a verdict she likely towards the end of march remember i said that we need to get that verdict by the end if she loses to enable her to at least have the chance to take the medication that would take her through to compete in the world championships and of course she mentions the tokyo lympics next year but whatever
