a warning to the military and the mystery of the missing painting where is one of the world's most famous and expensive odd works. thank you for joining us india's top military commander in the disputed kashmir region pakistan's spy agency was involved in last week's suicide bomb attack well then forty paramilitary soldiers were killed in thursday's explosion the pakistan based on mohammed said it was behind the attack pakistan denies any involvement will be speaking to come out in his body in just a moment but first live to face john in new delhi sofas india's top commander in kashmir directly bay me blaming the i say eyes ah i what more has he said and what evidence are providing.

fawley that's just it they're not giving any evidence they're going on a lot of assumptions now india has always said that groups like jaish e mohammed and other armed groups that attack indian forces are based in pakistan and they use pakistan of letting those groups remain there with impunity and going on their assumption they again said that the attack from last week that these jaish e mohammed are being supported by pakistan they even identified the masterminds behind the attack as the two gunmen who were killed in monday's attack and that they were one of them was a pakistani citizen now in terms of proof again this is just what they say because they're really trying to counter the narrative here that this was an intelligence failure which critics and analysts says it very obviously was so how much pressure is prime minister morsi things saying to take action in the wake of this attack and what are his options. he's

facing a lot of public pressure as he would as prime minister but also elections are going to be happening here in india in the coming months so he's also feeling that pressure as well but analysts say that he has to find a balance he has to show to the domestic audience in india that he is doing something to counter these attacks to maintain security but then also not do something that might escalate the situation even more a some time a couple of years ago there was a what the mill what the government has boasted is a surgical strike where indian forces went over the line of control and attack some of these armed groups directly unfortunately some analysts say that then sent a benchmark on what india is supposed to do any time or what the public at least expects the government to do any time there's an attack like this unfortunately they said they can't do that too often or push box on too much in fear of retaliation right thank you for that in new delhi less not cross over to islamabad

and speak to. you've covered the fair up in tensions and conflict in kashmir for many years now how do the recent events combats a previous crisis just how high is the risk of a dangerous escalation right now. well i'll tell you one thing that decision did have a war. because pakistan has maintained and this is the ground reality that dated an indigenous movement. of people and of course credible information that did a pretty good lead for that of course leads to reaction just on foreign minister mahmoud. region and through the secretary general of the united nations. to deescalate the crisis and that is emanating from days i read today coming out of new delhi. the foreign minister interesting the idea to inform

their security council the five member. he feared and it would weeks ago that he feared. india was going to create a bashing atmosphere of bashing ahead of the election. and said that they may even regard to some sort of mission a grand job in order to. do extreme measures to ward things are quite serious and of course pakistan thing they're doing maximum constraint. now weighing and that expected by the crown prince. so we should he read that international diplomacy can defuse the crisis because india. is a bilateral issue and blaming the i.s.i. for india is something that is not new i don't think that india can afford any cross or escalation in this crisis because it's not going to go down well on either

side of the border and. even within india that such rhetoric may lead to something which both countries cannot afford and just how difficult a balancing act for the pakistani prime minister imran khan we know has been very keen to improve relations with india have a since he came to power is he likely to change his tone and stands now. well imran khan the pakistani prime minister said in an inaugural speech when he became the prime minister of india took one step forward for august onwards to open the corridor door to a neighbor they seek to come and when they had their holy site making life easier for those indian fitted then there was an olive branch extended by pakistan but then the analysts said that india knew that india's government were using the

strong rhetoric in order to appeal to the border and because of the election there a few months away and said perhaps after the elections more d. made. the election that the only way forward to draw without dialogue there is no way forward and that of course could lead to a very. early for that thank you very much come out high deadline for us in islamabad. on to other news now and sixteen u.s. states is suing donald chon for declaring a national emergency to secure funding for his mexico border wall a coalition of states including california new york and illinois and it's accusing the president of violating the constitution trump made the declaration on friday after congress refused to grant him five point seven billion dollars he demanded for the wall the lawsuit argues that doesn't have the power to divert the funds because congress is in charge of spending that coalition says it's taking legal

action to protect its residents natural resources and economic interests john hendren explains why chimes emergency declaration has met several challenges president donald trump faces his biggest challenge yet in the effort to build a wall along the u.s. border with mexico that is because sixteen states on monday filed a suit in the u.s. federal court asking the court to stop the president from moving forward with spending money based on his declaration of an emergency on the southern border they have a couple of reasons for that challenge the first they say is that the president does not control spending congress does under the u.s. constitution the argument that is likely to meet the maid on the president's side is that congress delegated some of that authority to the president under an one nine hundred seventy six law called the national emergencies act with those states also say that they will be using the president's word against him he said i didn't

need to do this but i just wanted to do it faster and those states say that they are hurt because they are losing money for law enforcement military and drug interdiction and military construction. the case is likely to go to the u.s. supreme court the u.s. district court in california where it will first be heard has often overturned president trump's arguments including on such things is immigration it is possible he will be blocked from the spending but it is unclear whether this case will take weeks months or possibly even longer and a forty five year old mexican migrant has died in the u.s. border patrol custody in texas early reports show the person who hasn't been identified yet was admitted to hospital early this month he was suffering from liver and heart problems this is a third such death water in death in border patrol custody in the past few months

to guatemalan children died in hospital in december after crossing into the united states. the u.s. president has won members of venezuela's military they are risking their future by remaining loyal to president nicolas maduro in a speech to florida's venezuelan community donald trump support for the opposition leader one guy bill andy gallagher reports from miami. the crowd at florida international university was invite only but most were venezuelans eager for a change in a country many who fled in a wide ranging speech president trump said venezuela's path to democracy was irreversible but he had a simple message for the country's military leaders the eyes of the entire world are upon you. today. every day and every day in the future you cannot hide from the choice that now confronts you you can choose to accept president weiner's generous offer of amnesty to live your life in peace with your

families or your countrymen president ride-a does not seek retribution against you and neither do we outside students gathered to watch the show their support or protests what some see as a necessary interference but for those who have a close affiliation with venezuela trumps message resonate today there's no food there's people eating dogs and there's even cases where like people go to the zoo and like eat animals from there it's all so they need to be something done especially since the recent elections this the venezuelan people decided that like they don't want to mean they want change it's a lot of countries around the world are saying hey this is an elf it's a dictatorship there's nothing democratic about what happened in minnesota in the past twenty years and it should be called out as so instrumental in trying to push to remove nicolas maduro is florida senate's a ball co rubio he just returned from a trip to the colombian border where humanitarian aid is being blocked by the venezuelan authorities what is happening here today what is happening in venezuela

is a manmade crisis of epic proportions not caused by a natural disaster but by a manmade one a criminal regime that is willing to starve and kill its own people before it gets the power. it's clear that the trumpet ministration is ramping up pressure on nicolas maduro but the president also railed against an ideology he sees as an evil force across the americas socialism by its very nature does not respect borders it does not respect boundaries or the sovereign rights of its citizens or its neighbors the president's speech here is being seen in two distinct ways to exile venezuelans desperate for change it's a genuine effort to end what many see as a brutal dictatorship for others this was trump on the campaign trail keen to win over florida's latin voters and label his democratic opponents as socialists by the way there's a lot at stake for the people of venezuela and gallacher al-jazeera miami florida

and his event is a way then president nicolas maduro hitting back at charm speech. done to a lot of the naacp they want to enslave us that's the truth today trump was giving orders attention generals listen to trump is giving orders again to our armed forces who does he think he is the commander in chief still ahead on al jazeera we speak to survivors of religious violence in nigeria where one man has lost more than twenty family members plus a sacred river and ancient rituals of a tribe in northern philippines under threat from a new government project. we got more of that lovely mold weather the spring like weather across much of europe

continuing in the united states it's also a recognition that the negotiating model that has served china so well in the past is no longer working china is prepared to address the trade deficit it's prepared to buy more stuff from the united states the stumbling block is really the the wholesale changes that the united states wants china to make to the way china manages its economy in particular the vast subsidies that the chinese state gives to domestic companies the united states argues that creates an unfair playing field there's no doubt that president xi jinping does want to deal but he's not prepared for total capitulation. campaigning has resumed in nigeria after the election commission delayed the presidential vote by a weak president mahmoud abbas hari wants the reasons behind the delay to be made public but only after polling takes place on saturday is also accused asked or
