complete attack and a call late last month much to me to report a story in the usa and the jail from across the border what happened to the local content is a matter of illustration so we have to leave you have a very clear anyone who enters this community they're not going to collate in detail of it so our focus is a little uncomfortable but she will be speaking to. a very shortly where again the prime minister is due to address the nation but for his says go to a new delhi face so india's top army commander in kashmir blaming the i.s.i. but what evidence are they providing. we're just going off what the common narrative that india always gives its here in india it's a well believed fact well believed in their mind that baucus ston that these armed groups are based on pakistani territory and that they're with impunity and in many

cases they do have evidence on that this specific case they haven't presented any though because they're also one of the things of this news conference was trying to cover over the intelligence lapse that occurred many analysts and critics are saying that one of the reasons this attack happened the first place was a major lapse in intelligence why was of the convoy the paramilitary convoy so large why didn't anyone check the road why was a civilian vehicle allowed and how could so much explosives be gathered by one group and tell just officials not know about it so they're trying to shift the attention away from there for one thing the other thing is they're trying to put more pressure on the pakistani government to to address these issues of having armed groups groups that have publicly said have condemned india being in the indian administered to schmear that are based in pakistan in terms of hard evidence none but whether this is they're trying to show that something is being done and

that they're really taking all action that they can at this point to clearly prime minister under pressure i imagine to take action in the wake of this attack but what are his options or any. well they're fairly limited currently the saudi crown prince mohammed bin some man is visiting the region due to come to india on tuesday itself so that nothing will is expected to happen during his visit but indeed he has to kind of balance what he does in terms of to what he does sorry wrote what he want can do to appease the domestic audience but also what he can do to antagonize that wouldn't tag a nice pocket stand without causing any significant retaliation escalate the situation even further so it's a balancing game that most of the in the government are playing right now thank you for that phase in new delhi less costs over now to come on hydra an islamic bad

imran khan is due to address the nation this hour about this latest flare up in tensions in the disputed kashmir region what tone what stance and we expecting him to take. well bulger song had gold rated gig in a very made jordan bad lens for this show and i thought i'd describe to this concern devoted minister saying that they had a. constraint on this issue despite the provocation from india imran khan is not a wall monger and he's of god already said that he wants to improve relations with india and talk about all outstanding issued when he first became prime minister he said and offered to india there had been one step toward august on that focused on what to do so we are going to see probably the prime minister again reiterating that fact that the only solution is through dialogue through thought and rhetoric

like this nurtured all it should be remembered that the pakistani foreign minister has returned to the secretary general of the united nations are asking him to help deescalate this crisis richard i mean aiding from the strong record a foreign minister also saying that he had warned the permanent members of the security council a few weeks ago that up august on bashing campaign would probably be under way in india and for the bulk of trying to galvanize the hindu extremists who are now it must also be to member did i say no lawyers in india would heed that that there should be an issue as now where an indigenous issue india did read they were more rather than pointing fingers across the board which could escalate into something way ugly which all the country cannot afford and as we speak come up imran khan has begun his address to the nation the pakistani prime minister speaking

a live in islamabad his first public address his first address to the nation in the wake of the attack in disputed kashmir on facey that killed forty one engine indian security personnel and attack which has been claimed by the. based group of pakistan's a school but pakistan denying involvement in the attack. you've covered the kashmir issue for a number of years now how do the recent events compare to previous crises just how high is the risk of escalation right now given the rhetoric we're hearing from new delhi. this. is just. where this is something that is not new india strong rhetoric and up walk the dog country go in more game to a shooting wall when watched by the leader of the janata party or the prime minister . tag on the indian parliament but india limited option did get an order for do it

delayed it created their time to go you heard. that crown prince were those who expected they're also going to weigh in and dry dry dry to calm down that you asian because they showed your foreign minister. that he were dried to play a role in deescalating that prices between india and budget stars ok come on thank you very much for the moment we will keep a close eye on what imran khan is saying and come back to you if there are any important new signs from his address to the nation about hyder is a correspondent in islamabad. as move on to other world news now in sixteen u.s. states assuming donald for declaring a national emergency to secure funding for his mexico border wall the coalition of safe includes california new york and illinois and it's accusing the president of violating the constitution trott made the declaration on friday after congress refused to grant him the five point seven billion dollars he wanted for the wall

but also argues that trying doesn't have the power to divert the funds because congress is in charge of spending the coalition says it's taking legal action to protect its president natural resources and economic interests. john hendren explains our why chum's 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 and 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 as 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. at a forty five year old mexican migrant has died in u.s. border patrol custody in texas eddie for so the person who hasn't been identified was admitted to hospital early this month he was suffering from liver and hot

problems this is the third such death in border patrol cassidy in the past few months to guatemalan children died in hospital in december after crossing into the united states. the u.s. president has warned 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 quite ill and to gallagher has our report from miami. the crowd at florida international university was invite only and 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 and 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 writers jenner's or for amnesty to live your life in peace with your families and your countrymen. president ryder 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 unnecessary interference but for those who have a close affiliation with venezuela trumps message resonated 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 and there is or so they need to be something done especially since the recent elections this the potential of people decided that 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 venezuela in the past twenty years and it should be called out and so instrumental in trying to push to remove nicolas maduro is florida senator marco 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 storages 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 laskin voters and label his democratic opponents as socialists by the way there's a lot at stake for the people of venezuela and gallacher all jazeera miami florida . and he has even his weight and president's response nicolas maduro hitting back at the speech we've done to a lot of the naca 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. japanese carmaker honda says it will close its only british factory within two years the announcement was made a short while ago at a press conference in tokyo the shutdown of the plant in swindon will result in three thousand five hundred job losses the move is seen as another blow to britain's calm making industry before breck's it two weeks ago nissan cancelled plans to build new vehicles in the u.k. and jaguar land rover and ford announced job cuts in europe. still ahead on
