confirms the closure of its only british plant and will also stop making a popular car in turkey and sake a river and ancient tribal rituals come under threat in the philippines we'll find out why. thank you for joining us pakistan's prime minister has rejected india's accusations that his country is behind the cob bombing in the disputed kashmir region in a televised address to the nation imran khan said he is ready to cooperate with his neighbor to investigate and casuals responsible but he also warned of retaliation if india launches any attacks. also today i am offering the indian government thought what a vista cation you do in this case that suggests the involvement of any pakistani we are ready to cooperate with you if you have any actionable intelligence that provide us with that it will take action and it's not because we are there pressure

but because they are enemies of pakistani because they go against our interest early on the top military commander in indian administered kashmir blamed pakistan's spy agency for the blast forty one indian paramilitary soldiers were killed the pakistan based on. said it was behind the attack the complete attack on the conway versed members to me before the storm and i stayed in the jail from across the border but it happened in the local content in the middle of illustration so we had to leave our children we're very anyone who enters this year we're not going to collate in detail so our focus is very little consideration. to has the latest from his on the bot. the progress on a prime minister imraan khan spoke to his nation saying that he did not respond because bulger don was hosting an importer and friends were g.

rated of that so did crown prince to pakistan and therefore did not want to sabotage that he said that it was not in pakistan's benefit to carry out the attack across the border raid and that to enter time when a senior delegation from saudi arabia was in pakistan he also said that every time the pakistanis have tried to talk to the indians and talk about their dialogue that the indians have a huge pockets don of meddling and their internal affairs and sponsoring terrorism august on the other hand there is also said that indian intelligence agencies are involved and destabilizing baluchistan and helping the day to get taliban pakistan who are operating from across the border and of understand he however said that it was easy to start a war but it would be difficult to end that conflict saying that the indians would have to think seriously about finding a political solution to the ongoing conflict and indian administered kashmir but

while he was also extending an olive branch and also offering a dialogue he did not mince his words and gave the indians ran for an attack against pakistan and his al jazeera says jamming with reaction from the delhi. india has to walk a fine line to balance appeasing voters in the upcoming election to show that the country is strong and the country is secure while also trying not to escalate the situation in which pakistan may retaliate now there's not expected to be any type of armed military retaliation a time soon that's because of a visit by saudi crown prince mohammed bin so mon he's expected in india on tuesday and leaving on wednesday but india is still insisting that pakistan's spy agency the i.s.i. did have a direct hand in last week's attack on its paramilitary convoy this is because india says their armed groups that are currently in tory have publicly stated their

intention to attack indian forces in the disputed kashmir region that's why india has continued to push in its campaign to isolate pakistan diplomatically and financially now with imran khan the box and prime minister offering an olive branch to try to deescalate the situation india will hold firm that something has to be done about these armed groups in its territory or else they will continue their campaign and really push the all of branch away. tat is every time and marshal in pakistan's own force he says india is unlikely to start a war it's not good not good at all despite the fact that prime minister brown made all kinds of webster of. their dogs but i think they are going in peru elections that are domestic abuse and photographs of the out a resort thing for such utter katic. the last evening i did not monitor any

feeling going on the road toward what could get out of some indications and the prime minister i. must be having more intelligence than what i have. got a thought a crime and. i think. not go all out because. quickly escalate into something unfortunate which is unconventional weapons and the question word will not happen if garth hundred. takes place all american policy will go for the six in afghanistan and they will never let that happen so india has a few small that option that they were dark to. in other news iran says two pakistanis were behind last week's suicide bombing that killed twenty seven revolutionary guys. who had claimed responsibility for the attack a sony group says it wants rice and better living conditions for ethnic baluchis in

is sending iran but iran which is majority shia has repeatedly blamed pakistan for sheltering militants and saudi arabia for promoting violence amongst the minority community. sixteen us state says sewing donald trump attempting to block his second ration of a national emergency to secure funding for his for the war with mexico the coalition of safe thinkers california new york and illinois and is accusing the president of violating the constitution made the announcement on friday after congress refused to grant him the five point seven billion dollars he wants for the wall the lawsuit argues that doesn't have the power to divert the funds because congress is in charge of spending john hendren explains how the chump administration is likely to respond to the court challenge 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 me to be made 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 ad but 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. 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 as immigration it is possible he will be blocked from this spending but it is unclear whether this case will take weeks months or possibly even longer for a forty five year old mexican asylum seeker who has died in the u.s. border patrol custody in texas early reports suggests a man who hasn't been identified was admitted to hospital earlier this month he was suffering from liver and hot problems this is a third 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 warned of members of venezuela's military they are risking their future of by remaining loyal to president nicolas maduro in a speech to florida's venezuelan community donald trump urge support for the opposition leader. and gallagher has a report from miami. the crowd at florida international university was invite only

but most were venezuelans eager for a change in a country many have 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 in 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 jenner's or for of amnesty to live your life in peace with your families and 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 and there is all so they need to be something done especially since the recent elections this the venezuelan 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 was an elf it's a dictatorship there's nothing democratic about what happened in venezuela and the past twenty years and it should be called out as 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 the 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 here is the venezuelan president nicolas maduro hitting back at trump's speech . done to 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 the weather is

was a fake ever listened to has a story from new york. it's named salvador monday a painting by leonardo da vinci depicting jesus christ thought to be five hundred years old it's said to be one of the world's last long lost davinci original sydney one for that's why when it was auction in two thousand and seventeen the bidding was unlike anything ever seen before in the art world so you are limited to real down. three hundred million at three hundred and seventy million dollars that is four hundred million dollars is the bit so. including the buyer's premium salvador moonbase sold for a record breaking four hundred fifty million dollars that's more than four times what anybody in the art world predicted the identity of the buyer initially shrouded in secrecy was eventually revealed to be a wealthy saudi working on behalf of crown prince mohammed bin salomon who then

gave the painting to the move out of a dhabi museum as a gift but the announced unveiling of the artwork was abruptly canceled without explanation salvatore moody has not been seen since leaving pulitzer prize winning art critic jerry soltz to say it was all a fraud if you bought the most famous painting in the entire world by the most famous artist who ever lived at the highest price ever paid why are you hiding it might the painting be a fake you don't have the confidence to show the most famous new painting in the world something's fishy here. but oxford professor martin kemp one of the world's remount experts on davinci thinks the painting is authentic but with every day it's kept hidden with no information he worries it is somewhat disconcerting to

heard which is why they insist on practicing their age old customs no matter how out of place the may seem. the colley why river is sacred for the dumas get they have been praying here for centuries. a new government project is threatening to take it away. this ecosystem is our life our livelihood this is our home and we would like to fight for it the people are coming together to speak up so that everyone will know that this land belongs to us we inherited this from our ancestors. the philippine government wants to build a seventy meter high water reservoir here this placing not only that the market people but also endangered species in the forest that plan threatens to obliterate a way of life here that is centuries old the multimillion dollar project partially funded by the chinese government is expected to ensure water security for the

capital manila by damming the river. experts say you water sources are needed millions of filipinos don't have access to clean safe and reliable water supply is the asian development bank among others is warning the philippines it is likely to face a water crisis within the next few years threatening not only drinking water shortages in towns and cities but in heavily dependent agricultural communities to . this program that. in the work for. over forty we have been dialogue with people in public even in cases we will see the the whole field of the people except that there are certain things that. despite the assurances opposition remains because of the

destruction of the fragile ecosystem here. i think it's not worth it because we have other means to supply water to metro manila there are several in them expenses magri mountain mention that can only be seen in the philippines so the first effect of any kind of a watershed is the death of those species it is a tough balance and as government looks for solutions there may be lessons that can be learned from indigenous tribes for centuries they were able to survive and live in harmony with nature without destroying it. jamelle in dugan al-jazeera tonight is our northern philippines. hello again i'm fully back to go with the headlines on al-jazeera pakistan's prime minister has rejected india's accusations that his country is behind those is car bombing in the disputed region of kashmir imran khan also says he is ready to work
