responsible. tensions between india and pakistan remain at an all time high although they didn't all fall from saudi arabia's foreign minister are there larger bags that coded rabia would use its influence to try and deescalate the crisis between india and pakistan pakistan is also not taking any chances the pakistani prime minister said that he did not respond to the wild accusations from n b a saying that it was because pakistan was holding a very significant gone friends for investment involved just on records being attended by that so did delegation he questioned as to what would be the benefit for progress on to conduct such an attack at that time which would be tantamount to separate dodging that gone friend and pakistan it said they wanted to talk to india
6:03 pm
on all bilateral issues but they ended he said had already spun pakistan's off whenever pakistan or for dialogue the prime minister said that pakistan wanted peace in the region of foreign minister also created a dating that they had to be based in the region however prime minister emraan khan also had a warning for india should they plan an attack against pakistan. also today i am offering the indian government thought what is a vista geisha new do in disk each to suggest involvement of any pakistani we are ready to cooperate with you if you have any actionable intelligence to provide us with and we will take action and it's not because well under pressure but because they are enemies of pax tony because they go against our interests. well wall of wrong continent any connection to the attack and the and military commanders are continuing to blame pox on. the complete attack on the khomeini members to make up
6:04 pm
artist on in the usa and the g.m. from across the border what happened when the local content is a matter of investigation so we have the new deal about them then we have any idea any one like this you know the bill never going to lay in the tell me what this is very little bit of a machine. well let's get more on this knowledge on by side of the house main he's a retired left tenant general and andy and he served as the top commander an indian administered kashmir and he's joining us live from the indian capital new delhi very good to have you with us on al jazeera firstly is it enough is it acceptable for india to accuse the pakistani intelligence service of being behind the attack but not providing any evidence. you see first of all whatever imraan khan promised to the brown khan outspoken it seems to be scripted completely i the pakistani army general headquarters that i would be that is very very clear the
6:05 pm
fact that it's two thousand and eight after the incident and move by in two thousand and sixteen after the incident that already also the spinoff of the pecans go to afghanistan in this attack each trying to this will the same script be spoke it will give us evidence and be able to investigate and if you find someone involved in a lot of stuff we was a cash but we don't know whether or not it is that i'm breaking the rules for the pakistani prime minister to ask for evidence in this case this is a very serious attack and a very serious accusation from the indians. you have to understand what the interview was not to understand one thing i do want to know why why some private are still asking for evidence when the jury should know how much each other was to them how did it says admitted the but if you look at this group has it it's estimated that it was behind this particular doctor that i thought was what i just didn't want for evidence but you got that the data this lead us to be in psych
6:06 pm
block it's not admitted he's at the moment at the hospital after i've been pretty what you said a lot of the evidence and i just go ahead and stick but i think actually the group has claimed responsibility again but what is the link between the group and the pakistani government or the i.s.i. the fact that this group since comparable to what would have been a bucket i mean it was really the two thousand two thousand and one for the eighteen years i've been involved in a cd the last i can each time the indian government has presented any evidence against it i and sister organization the last year i thought about all of the each time that i didn't have to be spot on through the legal process of pakistan so what can be expected in this particular case and what should be in the government expects from the government the pocket what happened that was arkansas and how do you think the indian government is going to respond to this attack you know how does that strike a balance well it tried to strike
6:07 pm
a balance between retaliating but not provoking a more serious conflict. to my mind i think there's a tremendous amount of her this analysis with you should be done at new delhi by the government of india we are fully aware that baucus by all means also notice more on me and what their last minute reaction the government will get x. there will be a response but that is a range of issues which i spoke to no you know chancellor a little earlier the sentiments of a high emotions are very high this is very different to what happened in brady six eleven in two thousand and eight two that social media is driving the sentiment and emotion and most people up with it think that a few weeks from now the government to india goes to collections so the government of india is under tremendous pressure at the moment there is some kind of a political consensus but i do not extremist that this consensus was not all that on a beach ball and bust the bellman to come to the pressure there is going to be
6:08 pm
a tremendous amount of demand for action i cannot see what action the government video is big but there's a range out there on the window i've still not gone away and action is very much on the top and what about the window for deescalating the situation are there any chance of a batch right now. i think i can only appreciate that the escalation can be done with some kind of an intervention but smaller than for the model saudi arabia is it in be have today is going to be here tomorrow and it's going to speak to the button that stuff is the most the i'll know when in doubt not to accept any total body into wrenching not any issues concerning john wayne drash made but this being an issue of the maybe that is a large overhead of the standoff between india and pakistan is in the offing it is followed out throughout. the conference of saudi arabia and they have a very proactive role in this he obviously got some kind of
6:09 pm
a message from him from baucus bought out of the he's going to be speaking the prime minister promote about this i have to do just get to hear if the international community based groups or our interests in the total issue of declaring various terrorist groups in pakistan as international terrorist groups generation was the group which had to be the whole of britain also sort of declaring their greatest national deficit if i've missed a lot by china i guess a lot of turks are getting used the far less decided that it is. a revolution in be in the united nations security council follow because very few other muscles as an international no way will see what international involvement there will be for now that is left tenant general side of the house main joining us live from new delhi thank you very much for your time on this we do appreciate it thank you now we do have a special page with extended coverage all but the story on al-jazeera dot com and side story our program the whether
6:10 pm
a full blown crisis between india and pakistan can be averted you will find that in the crush made page. now do get in touch with us we want to hear from you on these stories you can send us your comments to any of our online platforms on twitter use the hash tag a.j. news go to handle this at a.j. english we're also on facebook at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera or send us a message on whatsapp or telegram at last month seven four five zero one trouble one four nine now russia says it's opened to about a terror corridos in syria to allow people in the rock band refugee camp to return home to capitalize on the remote syrian desert near the borders with jordan and iraq it's home to more than forty thousand people mostly women and children the corridors are expected to remain open for the next twenty four hours and as you initiate probably most oh you're so lucky to be resettled well as of today the rock band refugee camp located near the military base keeps having problems the
6:11 pm
situation there continues to be catastrophic and its residents practically being held hostage by the us live on the edge between life and death under these circumstances the syrian government with assistance from russia made the unprecedented decision to open to humanitarian corridors to ensure the exit of internally displaced people from this camp to chosen places of residence we're joined now by our correspondent in iran can he is live in gaza on tech near the turkish syrian border so the russians and syrians saying these corridors are open but will those forty thousand people be able to use them in iran is that clear. it was a very confusing situation right now. very strong. you just. used he said unprecedented step of opening. up does that mean that the russians have
6:12 pm
been negotiating with the free syrian army who control the exit of the camp. or does it mean that the russians on the syrians have simply opened up these that any kind of negotiation with the free syrian army and are just waiting for people to be leave the camp that's really unclear right now let me just give you a little bit of geography of the area you have the camp and then there's about a kilometer of no man's land effectively and then that's where the corridor begins and that's where people will be able to go. about fifty five kilometers worth of territory for twenty four hours twenty four hours began at nine am tuesday morning so the clock is actually taking. on a wednesday morning we'll see how many people have actually left the camp but at the moment we don't know what negotiations if any can happen between. the syrians and the russians the u.n. have said that they're not involved in this of the syrian arab red crescent and
6:13 pm
they've been involved in other. in other areas for example allowed people to go into other areas and iran if they are a. well that's the big question i mean a lot of these people come from places that have been run by war they don't know well the type of home if any they might be able to go back to also will they have to go as we've seen in the past to a holding area first affectively another camp whether then process of being allowed to go home so there's a lot of questions being asked about this particular corridor what it means or corridors rather and what they mean for the people but also big of course each of us is as you say where these people going to go to iran thank you very much for that for now that is emraan khan with the latest on live from gaza on tap thank you rob to the u.s. now where bernie sanders is the latest politician to enter the democratic race for
6:14 pm
the twenty twenty presidential nomination it is the seventy seven year old them all senators second bid for the white house sanda says he's running to defeat donald trump who he described as a pathological liar sanders lost the democratic nomination to hillary clinton and twenty sixteen who was in turn defeated by trump bernie sanders i'm running for president and i'm asking you today to be part of an unprecedented grassroots campaign of one million active volunteers in every state in our country. our campaign is not only about the feeding donald trump the most dangerous president in modern american history it is not only about winning the democratic nomination and the general election our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic social racial and environmental
6:15 pm
justice while sanders joins an increasingly crowded field of democrats vying for the child to challenge president trump twelve candidates have now throwing their hats in the ring this includes massachusetts senator elizabeth warren new jersey senator cory booker and longtime prosecutor and california senator tom the harris have adopted parts of bernie sanders progressive agenda pushing for a more centrist line as minnesota senator amy klobuchar she's described proposals such as the green new deal and medicare for all as aspirational other likely contenders include former vice president joe biden and. former congressman who now really lost the texas senate great race last year let's go now to our correspondent shihab rattansi he's joining us live from washington d.c. it is a crowded race the sand as is it is he entering it as the man to be shihab given his high profile. very much sure and that's why we see such
6:16 pm
a crowded field already so early so whether before the twenty twenty election all of these candidates you just mentioned wanted to get some sort of a man to him before but he sounds deckard before joe biden perhaps declares because bernie sanders is now the front runner off the declared candidate see who has the best net we're going to say shall network across the country has the best name recognition across the country has the biggest group of donors many of them small donors who gave him that you've been giving an average about twenty seven dollars or so he is now as you say the person to be the only person who comes close to him actually who does beat bernie sanders in the polling among likely democratic primary voters is joe biden barack obama's vice president and if biden does and to the race then we will see a very familiar battle of that between the between the centrist establishment democratic party right wing on the economy right wing on foreign policy left wing on social issues and bernie psalm is who wants nothing less than a transformational revolution and has transformed to
6:17 pm
a certain set the democratic party itself because of his his his his brown and twenty sixteen even though he's not a democrat she have could has high profile work against him given you know he didn't run for the nomination last election and he lost. right but then his argument is that his supporters would say yeah but then you instead you feel to the candidates who put out rather centrist positions as joe biden might if he runs and you lost against old trump so he does have that very strong argument that that the america is crying out for real change but as a result of that recognition that hillary clinton last time we do as human as you mentioned have a lot of candidates in the democratic in the democratic party who now say well look we we actually support a lot of what bernie sanders does we support universal health care we support free college tuition we support a minimum wage the problem though which they might face and certainly what he saw them does folks are counting on is when bernie sanders says this stuff people believe him but a lot of these candidates who have now come out of the democratic party
6:18 pm
establishment of zero know we believe in in sort of left wing policies as well have a rather tough record when you scrutinize them off of accepting donations from wall street or big pharmaceutical companies or on criminal justice and so on so bernie has that going for him but he saunders and he has that main argument that you tried centrism you try to a clinton type kind of that last time i mean you can try going to fight kind of this moment joe biden as you mentioned but the last time she had thank you very much for that is she happy live in washington d.c. thank you. now sixteen u.s. states assuming donald trump in an attempt to block his declaration of a national emergency to secure funding for a mexico border war the coalition of states includes california new york and illinois they were accusing the president of violating the constitution which 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 trump doesn't have the power to divert the funds because congress is in charge of spending well let's
6:19 pm
get more on this now we're joined by cliff and director of ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania door school and she's joining us live from for the delphia very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so the suit arguing that the president doesn't have the power to divert funds for a wall because it's congress that control spending and this of course is raising a lot of questions about about congress and its control of the spending the scope of powers that the president has and of course how far the courts are willing to go in the suit right so there's a nine hundred seventy six emergencies act that doesn't define what constitutes an emergency but says that the president has the power to declare an emergency and then there are all the appropriations that he'll need to make once he has declared an emergency there are five emergency funds that get unlocked by this declaration
6:20 pm
and there are going to be challenges to both halves of that so the argument about the emergency is that he had himself has indicated that this is not a real emergency and in his rambling press conference last friday at the rose garden he said i didn't need to do this and wanted to do it faster and could then work against him could his own words work against him. it will certainly work against him because it suggests that he did not believe there was a real emergency here and indeed right after the day was over he flew off tomorrow to play golf for the weekend so that suggests that he is not really regarding this as an emergency but is trying to do an end run around congress as appropriation powers and that that is an unconstitutional on constitutional delegation of authority to the president if you allow the statute to be read as permitting him to do this and will he be able to use will he be able to use any of this money in you
6:21 pm
know from the departments that he's planning to while the lawsuits are in place. well the most likely thing that will happen is that one of the lawsuits that's percolating whether it's the one by the sixteen states filed in california or the suit that's likely to be filed in d.c. shortly other suits will be filed one of those lawsuits may result very quickly in a stay and that means that he won't be able to access any of the funds while the litigation is pending i should note that there are numerous arguments against use of the funds that don't even call into question this challenge to the emergency powers such as the fact that there are landowners along the texas border who will be dispossessed and there are very strong precedents the youngstown case in which the supreme court has said you can't take over private property. and this was
6:22 pm
disallowed when truman tried to take over the steel mills even during a real emergency which was the korean war to prevent a walkout of steel workers so it's very there are many avenues for stopping the us and as i say it's very possible that they'll be a stay in the short run while this is pending in court this one comes to thank you very much for your time and your expertise on this that's clear think of scene live in philadelphia thank you now tens of thousands of people across the u.s. have responded to try. protesting against it on social media producer and pal has more on that and well two hundred sixty rallies across forty eight states elizabeth demonstrators took advantage of the national holiday presidents' day to share their disapproval with the current president's emergency decree. huh. uh right then you could hear some of the protesters there accusing trump of
6:23 pm
creating this crisis what they're calling a fake national emergency several civil rights organizations including the american civil liberties union have also urged congress to act and jumped on that hash tag and tens of thousands of people took part in these demonstrations as we heard a moment ago including some members of congress and state attorneys general here's how colorado's attorney general explained his state's decision to sue the president in colorado we will be on the side of the rule of law. and because colorado would be hurt by this illegal watching having funds that are dedicated to be spent here moved elsewhere we will be joining in action to challenge it. so others use the hash tag fake national emergency to share what they feel are some real national emergencies in the united states from climate change some also put here president trump himself others one of the big have sex we saw
6:24 pm
yesterday was defund hate that's to say that the deportation force in the words of the sign here that's referring to immigrations and customs enforcement or ice that they should be defunded now here's what one protester in new jersey had to say but . we are here today to say enough. is killing our children they're separating our families they are detaining our parents and our neighbors so we'll keep monitoring monitoring see how all of this moves through the u.s. courts in addition to these sixteen states suing the president south texas landowners and several rights groups have filed separate suits claiming that this decision violates the u.s. constitution and their property rights and plenty of other things so let us know your thoughts on this story especially if you were at one of the demonstrations on monday go ahead and tweet us using the hash tag eighteen is good andrew thank you very much for that now a forty five year old mexican asylum seeker has died and u.s.
6:25 pm
border patrol custody in texas the man was reportedly sent to hospital earlier this month of heart and of a problems this follows the deaths of two guatemalan migrant children who lost their lives while and border custody in december all three cases jus widespread condemnation and a liking to raise more questions on president charms hardline immigration policies . this is the news grid and if you're watching on facebook live you're about to find out why vogue magazine in brazil has been involved in a race some controversy also ahead supporting that is when opposition to define why don't donald trump issues a warning to the military. hello there we've got a good deal of unsettled weather across parts of the middle east still we look at the satellite picture we can see one system here this just drifting its way southwards bringing some slightly fresher air with it we've also got this other
6:26 pm
system making its way of parts of iran and into parts of afghanistan that's going to be giving us lots of rain and snow here as we head through the day on wednesday i think for kabul by the time that system has passed will see somewhere between ten and twenty centimeters of fresh snow towards the west largely fine and dry forest by the time we get to thursday not too warm with baghdad getting to around twenty degrees in aleppo and around fourteen a bit further towards the south it's pretty windy in doha but those winds are easing and will continue to be said over the next few days say twenty two degrees will be our maximum temperature on wednesday maybe up to twenty three by thursday but the winds still feeding down from the northwest so it's a draw air and it is feeling a bit cool further south for since a lot of we're getting to around twenty nine and it's still rather humid for us there and all of the southern parts of africa we've got this whole trailing area of cloud here within that we're seeing a system trying to put itself together now because it's so close to land we're not expecting it to develop into a tropical cyclone but it will give us very intense rain as we head through the next day or so so for some of us in madagascar they could even be some flooding on
6:27 pm
wednesday or thursday. when you're from a neighborhood known as a hotbed of radicalism. you have to fight to defy stereotypes. but on the morning gulch i'm still and the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live them in all my measuring well and when they. will. sound mother boxset this is year. on al-jazeera. donald trump was told of a special bowl with kim jong un. now the u.s. president and north korean leader ought to meet again this time in vietnam were both very foreigner to eight months after making history in singapore and they strike a deal on nuclear weapons. and finally and the korean war follow us on the

6:31 pm
found ourselves in the bush and spent four nights there then we want to go back home but we found that everything had been looted so we left the village more than ten thousand people have been displaced by fighting in the river state in south sudan the fighting between government forces and the opposition group known as the national salvation front are ness started in mid january south sudan descended into civil war in twenty thirteen two years after independence from sudan more than four hundred thousand people have been killed and a quarter of the country's twelve million population have been displaced as a result of a peace deal signed in sudan's capital her tomb in september last year the second attempt to end the war but not all worrying sides have agreed to peace but refuse this peace agreement disagreement of course does not address the root causes of the problem. the issues are clear. issues so far governance system that you want as a result the fighting continues as does the displacement animate is
6:32 pm
a good idea i ran away soldiers in uniform wanted to shoot me but one said they shouldn't shoot you know woman i saw them shoot and kill a child in front of me right in front of me he was killed. say the violence makes it hard to reach those who've been displaced from their homes and are in need of aid to survive many people who fled from villages in a river state have ended up here in the state's capital but thousands of others have fled into neighboring uganda and the democratic republic of congo eyed into the already huge number of south sudanese been displaced by fighting since twenty fifteen. the local government in europe or state says it abides by the peace deal signed last year it's accuses the national salvation front of targeting civilians in its campaign to end president salva kiir is room this group has been disabused citizens in their own locations only using citizens to come to town.
6:33 pm
abducting says citizens wherever they find them. killing citizens. south sudan is a young country less than a decade old fighting and the displacement of its population has dominated throughout its existence and the peace its citizens crave is elusive now as ever in morgan al-jazeera year river city. well let's get more on this now we're joined by jock mother jockey's of director of the sound answer to that an independent think tank focusing on south sudan and he's joining us from syracuse n. the u.s. very good to have you with us on al-jazeera we are hearing her reflect stories of violence that are driving thousands of people away from yes state what more do we know about the score of the national salvation front and why they are carrying out these attacks alone thanks for having me. the issue is the whole country.
6:34 pm
living in a state of uncertainty even for barriers. for solution leaders. we signed this peace deal there is still quite a lot about certainty about whether the leaders are generally interested him implementing this bill that we saw those opposition people in in the state sure about the commitment. and what it offers to them so their continued hole out and continue to fight until they are invited to the table and they are but something that they can they can believe in the general an offer for peace for themselves and for the people of the region where they are. and how likely and how likely ministers were on the end of the government to end via these groups you know to try and negotiate
6:35 pm
a peace agreement which includes then to. well the practice has always been that the government tries to in opposition. loops back into the government. up in them and observing them rather that offering them a gunman a deal that the can actually take to their people and so it is very unlikely that the government will offer any. olive branch to national salvation front even the latin word for television from it continues to demand. a genuine arthurs of beads and general art for concessions so all it doesn't look like it's going to happen and it found very soon because our national salvation such simply doesn't want to be coopted enough zap the way all the other opposition leaders have been brought into the government while the government is unwilling to arthur for
6:36 pm
any he made your and meaningful concessions to national salvation front right in we are in for the long with regards to the confrontation between the government of the night of salvation front the problem is that the national salvation front or any asked as it is no one. is not really going to present in a lot of people in the region where they are fighting so that is not pressure on local people with the gate he will state to be will be brought up to barrow national salvation front to see peace message out thank you very much for your time and your expertise on this we do appreciate it that is jock mother jock live in a second's thank you. now the chinese government appears to be tracking millions of people and of age and of shenyang that's according to information discovered by a dutch internet expert and take us through this one right this is one of those stories where someone stumbles across information on the internet and shed it sheds
6:37 pm
light on a massive government program we didn't know much about before in this case a chinese company called sense nets which has numerous contracts with chinese police appears to be operating a tracking system in shin jiang province that's a region where more than a million weekers cars ochs we and other muslim minorities have been detained in internment camps according to u.n. experts although the chinese government calls the vocational training centers now victor heifers is a dutch security expert who went on the sensor nets website clicked around for a bit and he found a tracking database that's been up on the internet without a password for much of the past year and there he found tracking information for over two point five million people including personal details like id card numbers their gender address employers as well as trackers that they had passed through over the previous twenty four hours and these tracking devices he mentions in his research include c.c.t.v. cameras and handheld devices that have cameras or id scanners those cameras are
6:38 pm
attached to things like schools and mosques hotels police stations and internet cafes victor tweeted that this in secure face recognition slash personal verification solution is built and operated for only one goal it's a muslim tracker in his words funded by chinese authorities in the province of to keep track of weaker muslims so you can imagine how some are reacting to this story online klyn moody is a writer who focuses on digital rights and she says it's not just the concentration camps the whole region is a prison several media outlets have contacted the company and the shin john regional government for comment but neither seem to. have responded yes it should be noted that this life facial recognition software is being trial by police in many countries including the u.k. u.s. and india so let us know if you think this technology is being used in your country and and what you think about it so get in such with us on twitter using the hash
6:39 pm
tag it is good and thank you very much and we are going to get more on that we're joined by bob threat intelligence director at security discovery as i can tell of a consultancy that focuses on cyber security and he is joining us live from kiev very good to have you with us on al-jazeera firstly given china's treatment of the week as does the surveillance come as a surprise to you. thanks for having me. i must say that don't do gamers are surprised. we do a lot of reporting from especially dot original the world of media unprotected databases which are sometimes. contained they the should not be publicly available. some databases contain. tracking data like this one are the other one containing. data that has been scraped from
6:40 pm
people's public profiles on linked in facebook instagram or other or local social networks who example in china they don't use during the day they are not allowed to go online on facebook but they use a lot of local. social networks and these data are constantly scraped by. security companies by local security companies try and oftentimes they leave these databases without password like the ones that have been just reported by victor davis and well firstly what do you make and what about the ethics of what the half is. telling the company sends the matter that all of the stock was secure and what does it mean for people for millions of people who is most personal information is online for way to anyone to access. yeah that's it really an
6:41 pm
ethical puzzle here so from there on account of me or any other white haired security distorter or definitely report this directly to the owner but from the other can't seen what type of days they is there. how sensitive all vulnerable that information is for. for being there and the most important question who is using that and for what purpose that all leaves the security researcher or to question proud to raise raise awareness on those kind of issue and. to let other people knowing that this kind of tracking or silver star religions just don't need to do to be had so that's that's a puzzle and it out in an area and when we talk about the source of surveillance how do you think it compares to surveillance used by other countries are other
6:42 pm
countries using this type of surveillance that's pretty much the same technology and i'm guessing that. companies in change in china or are especially. did a good to do this kind of war and so. did acknowledge it behind this is pretty much distain that is used everywhere in the world but chinese companies are just. are just did most. enhancing in this kind of in this kind of research so de de de do it at more. but their level than any other companies in the world in this ditch i thank you very much for your insights on this we do appreciate it that is bob live in kiev thank you now we have covered the story extensively on al-jazeera the story of the week is of course our program one o one east followed chinese wages as they flee what they call repression and
6:43 pm
detainment in their homeland you'll find that recent episode week is no way to call home by searching for weak is on al-jazeera dot com. now the u.s. president has warned members of venezuela's military that they are risking their future by remaining loyal to president nicolas maduro in a speech to florida's venezuelan community donald trump urged support opposition leader juan by the law and he gallagher reports from miami. the crowd at florida international university was invite only and 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 can choose to accept
6:44 pm
