searched for those responsible for as jimmy reports now from new delhi. another day of violence in indian administered kashmir among those killed four indian soldiers and a civilian after a prolonged gun battle between indian security forces and two gunmen who also died at least one of the gunman is believed to have been a member of the pakistani based armed group jaish e mohammed which claimed responsibility for thursday's suicide bombing that killed at least forty one indian paramilitary troops. this upsurge in violence is further raising tensions between the two countries and prompting protests india says jaish e mohammed than other armed groups are allowed to operate freely inside pakistan from where they launch attacks on indian forces pakistan denies its involvement and says it's being blamed without any proof and without any investigation but there's anger on the streets we should take revenge the separatist leaders of these rebel
1:10 am
fighters are in touch with most of them. this should be a whole our soldiers by the border of being mahsud for the country the country should in one sweep take action this should be action india's prime minister says there will be retribution. but the mockery the attack and pull woman clearly demonstrates that the time for dialogue is long past now the whole world needs to work together to take concrete steps to deal with terrorism and their supporters we should not hesitate to take action against terrorists and their anti-human values because if we don't. it would mean we are encouraging them. but analysts are warning any escalation in the violence may work against the government but the government has. been to the self into a corner already it does not have very many options they say prime minister modi has to strike a balance when taking action the challenge of course is to take action that will be seen to be sufficient by the domestic audience but will not seen be seen by
1:11 am
pakistan as gribben off the water and an immediate response because in the immediate response that is the danger of it but that escalation. meantime the region remains on high alert pakistan has announced it's recalling its ambassador from new delhi for what it calls consultations analysts are seeing it as a response to india's campaign to gather international support to blame islamabad for the attacks but pakistan says there's no proof it was involved and there's been no investigation it says india should look into its own security and intelligence lapses instead as jamil al-jazeera new delhi us president donald trump has told an audience in miami that venezuelans opposed to leader nicolas maduro are standing for freedom and democracy cheering crowds the trumpet the nouns the crimes corruption and suffering which he blames on maduro's government miami is home to the largest proportions of venezuelans in the united states. we're here to for
1:12 am
claim a new day's coming it latin america in the about i in venezuela and across the western hammers socialism is dying and liberty prosperity and democracy are being reborn the a bit of a it a day our hearts are filled with hope because of the determination of millions of every day venezuelans the patriotism of the venezuelan national assembly and the incredible courage of interim president one why though the land of gallagher is live for a say in miami were of course the president is giving that speech and the what else did he say. well he's said the word socialism at
1:13 am
least a dozen times so far but he is talking to a very receptive audience here at florida's international university this is an invite only audience the majority of which are venezuelans who consider themselves exiles from that country so what president trump is saying here is what they want to hear he's talking about how proud he is as president and he was the first to recognize one garrido as a self declared interim president within thirty minutes of that happening and went on to say that dozens of other countries have now followed suit his theme of railing against socialism is something that's standing out to me already i don't listen to the first fifteen minutes of the speech and he said that at least a dozen times as i said in this speech to this venezuelan community here is being seen very differently in two ways firstly it's being seen as a genuine attempt by the trumpet ministration to bring democracy and change to venezuela and also get that humanitarian aid across the colombian border and
1:14 am
secondly it's being seen as something of a campaign speech if president trump is to win the two thousand and twenty presidential election he will need the votes of the latin american community here in florida so those are the two ways it is being seen but at the moment president trump is addressing a very receptive audience they are desperate for regime change in venezuela they of course want to see that humanitarian aid cross the border and they're giving a tight deadline for this coming saturday to do so but it really feels like president trump is ramping up the pressure on nicolas maduro to move aside and let guardo take over as the interim president which of course may have its own problems analysts here are saying it quite oh does get power he could well be seen as a puppet of the united states but nonetheless what president trump is saying here to this particular audience is being warmly received. and andy you mention how it's warmly received there because it's a receptive audience you know many people there who want regime change in venezuela but of course when we think of the trumpet ministration we think about all the negative things he said especially about immigrants coming from latin america his
1:15 am
near obsession with the war so when it comes to actually trying to win back that sector of the electorate do you think that these kinds of discussions actually have an impact beyond the immediate audience it's interesting that's a great question because i just spoke to a young lady who's actually from her as well as a student at this university and she said look under normal circumstances i am an anti trump person i don't like his want to build a wall or keep immigrants out but on this issue she's backing the president one hundred percent because she says at least this is somebody who is addressing a major humanitarian crisis what she called a dictator and on this one subject she is backing the president so from that point of view i think exile venezuelans here in miami whether they support president or trump or not support him on this one issue one other young lady in the in the crowd here in the words some protesters was in floods of tears talking about the family
1:16 am
that she left behind in venezuela they see a desperate situation it is a desperate situation so on this one issue he's got broad support amongst a latino community in the state of florida of course and they will be vital to when the reelection in two thousand and twenty but as i said what he's saying to the audience inside into the wide event as well in community in miami which is the largest in the united states his words are being well received. very interesting and gallagher with the latest there from miami on that speech andy thank you so that's what's going on in the united states when it comes to their relationship with venezuela meanwhile several members of the european parliament have urged the e.u. to suspend contact with venezuela's government after they were blocked from entering the country the group was invited to meet venezuela's national assembly by the opposition leader. why does also trying to enlist volunteers to confront the government blockade of u.s. aid at the border hundreds of thousands of civilians are expected to try to find
