9:02 pm
security advisor michael flynn and energy secretary rick perry are among those named a strong advocates off the nucleus saying let's get more on this a correspondent in jordan is joining us live from washington d.c. is a damning report roles and some closest to the president. well it's not just implicating some who are closest to the u.s. president donald trump but this staff report which was delivered to congressman elijah cummings who is the chair of the house oversight committee basically says that people within the trumpet ministration people who had worked on the president's two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign ignored repeated orders from legal advisers and from the national security adviser h.r. mcmaster to stop working on a plan that would allow the united states to sell upwards of twenty nuclear
9:03 pm
reactors to saudi arabia without going through the proper legal channels this report also alleges elizabeth that even though the orders were coming down that daily even as recently as a week ago the discussion is still happening at the highest levels of the trumpet ministration to try to transfer this technology to saudi arabia with out congressional oversight without proper investigation and vetting and without the sign off of an interagency process all of these steps if the president were to go ahead with an executive order would be in violation of the atomic energy act which is a very serious act to try to prevent nuclear technology from getting into the hands of people or states where that information might not be protected and so what happens now is wrong what the investigation and what the findings. well
9:04 pm
given that this report does note that it's not just congressional democrats who are very concerned about these. attempted and repeated efforts to move ahead with the sale of nuclear reactors to saudi arabia without congressional insight there's also been republican concern about this very effort within the highest levels of the trumpet ministration and so what congressman cummings has announced on tuesday is that there will be an oversight committee hearing to look into these allegations to call forward members of the trumpet ministration and former members of the trumpet ministration to basically explain themselves we don't have a date yet for that hearing but given the amount of detail that is put out in this twenty four page staff report it could be a very interesting hearing certainly an effort by congress to exercise its
9:05 pm
oversight power of the executive branch thank you very much for that for now that is wrong here in jordan with the nation's live in washington d.c. thank you let's move on to other news now and pakistan's prime minister has rejected and he has accusations that has country is behind the bombing of the disputed kashmir region which killed forty one indian paramilitary soldiers and a televised address to the nation and noncom offer to cooperate with his neighbor to investigate the attack and ask for evidence suggesting pakistani involvement india's foreign ministry expressed disappointment with the pakistani leaders for months a spokesman said promise to con fail to denounce the jaish e mohammad which has claimed responsibility we are not surprised that the prime minister of pakistan refuses to acknowledge the attack on our security forces and. as an act of god it is. prime minister of pakistan has neither chosen to condemn this ainus act not condoled with the families this claiming any link between the
9:06 pm
terrorist attack and pakistan is an oft repeated excuse by pakistan the pakistani prime minister has ignored claims made by the gesture moment as well as by the terrorists who perpetrated this highness' crime it is a very known fact that gesture moment and its leader muscle are based in pakistan this should be sufficient proof for pakistan to take action. in a moment has to me a report on india's full reaction from new delhi but first here is come on high there and islam above. 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 out of your bag 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
9:07 pm
pakistani prime minister said daddy did not respond to the wild accusations from and they are saying that it was because pakistan was holding a very significant gone friend for investment involved just on record as being attended by that so did delegation he questioned as to what would be the benefit for progress on conduct such an attack at that time which would be tantamount to separate dodging that gone friends and pakistan it said they wanted to talk to india on all bilateral issued by d.n.d. and he said he had already gone pakistan's golf whenever pakistan or for dialogue the prime minister said that bogged down wanted peace in the region of foreign minister also created a dating that dad should be based in the region however prime minister emraan khan also had a warning for india should they plan an attack against pockets on the sun also
9:08 pm
today i am offering the indian government thought what is a vista geisha and you do in this case the suggested 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 we are under pressure but because they are enemies of spock's tony because they go against our interests . the funerals continue across india the bodies of the security forces killed in recent attacks are returned to their homes. as the country mourns pressures on the government and officials to show that action is being taken. down a little better security officials in indian administered kashmir blame pakistan's spy agency the i.s.i. for the car bombing by the group jaish e mohammed or jem that. reductive form of eyesight. while the investigations continue many in india are
9:09 pm
wondering how it was allowed to happen critics say that any major attack can be considered an intelligence failure but the scope and complexity of this one made it the worst attack on indian forces in the region in three decades it leaves the question what went wrong. indian agencies in kashmir rely on locals for intelligence but some analysts say the goodwill needed for that intelligence has dwindled. bost five years have been a period of extremely disruptive polarizing communal politics now that is undermining dean violent that is what is resulting in more and more frustration and more and more recruitment. this analyst says the current intelligence agencies are understaffed and resources are mr directed because it is involved in political intelligence it is involved in the hold range of other
9:10 pm
activities many of them under the eight hundred to two core security as indian officials continue to blame pakistan for supporting armed groups prepared to launch attacks on indian troops critics say the government needs to take a look at its own security apparatus to prevent more deaths as jamil al jazeera new delhi. i thought that the house was apartheid less ten general and the an army has served as the top commander an indian administered kashmir and he says pakistan has no excuse for not taking action against the group responsible for the attack i do not know why the fuck it's not a bribe to start asking for evidence when the chair should know how much chief either of us would how deep it says admitted the but if you look there this group has it it's just admitted that it was behind this particular doctor that i thought it was what anderson wants what evidence what you got that the status lead us to be insights pockets not admitted he's at the moment that i'll look after robin pretty
9:11 pm
what you said a lot of the evidence you should just go ahead and stick i did actually consider the fact that this group since composite one has been in pockets i mean it was released in two thousand two thousand and one but 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 and its sister organization the last year i thought about all of the each sign 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 good government expects from the government of pakistan and that is arkansas. now islamic bob is also dealing with anger from its western border with iran saying an attack that killed twenty seven revolutionary guards last week was planned from inside pakistan . reports. a sunni armed group cool j. shell addle has claimed responsibility for last week's suicide bombing but iran
9:12 pm
says it now has evidence the attack was planned from inside pakistan. two days ago we arrest a woman who was our first lead after interrogating her we found other links and i can tell you that two of the members of this team were pakistanis the suicide bomber was a person named muhammad ali from pakistan. a suicide bomber in a vehicle packed with explosives drove into a bus transporting members of iran's revolutionary guards the pakistani government has denied the attack was planned from its territory i think iran does not have any evidence as to whether they're pretty deep from pakistan army. people. straight across the border the three others arrested by iran are ethnic bill each minorities one person is still on the run but iran doesn't just blame six individuals for the bombing the. design attack is not an
9:13 pm
ordinary one it is a dangerous strategy that aims at hitting iran the sons of the revolutionary guards are standing firm in the face of the harbinger of doom triangle consists of the zionist entity america and saudi arabia which is a symbol of evil in the region and the world. pakistan has condemned the attack and cooperation the iranian military is demanding pakistan cracks down on jaish al and wounds if it doesn't it might take action itself victory gates and be there. saudi arabia has said it wants to help calm the tensions between india and pakistan as crown prince mohammed bin some on arrived in new delhi to a warm welcome from prime minister in the interim already been so mom was in pakistan on monday has asia tours also expected to take him to china plenty more ahead on the news hour including venezuela crisis how security forces are contributing to what was already one of the highest murder rates in the world. a
9:14 pm
long road ahead russia says it's open to passage for tens of thousands of people to escape from a provided syrian camp and will be here in sport is awesome diana and naomi in the champions league last sixteen. years politician bernie sanders has entered the twenty twenty white house race that is the independent senators second attempt at last the democratic party's twenty sixteen nomination to henry clinton who went on to be defeated by donald trump a seventy seven year old we campaigned on many of the same promises as last time including universal health care a higher minimum wage and free public college tuition. bernie said as i'm running for president and i'm asking you today to be part of it on precedented grassroots campaign of one million active volunteers in every state in our country our
9:15 pm
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 justice. well twelve candidates have now thrown their hats in the ring to challenge donald trump they include massachusetts senator elizabeth warren new jersey senator cory booker and the california senate a common harris they share a similar leftist agenda with bernie sanders but pushing a more centrist line is minnesota senator amy klobuchar she's described proposals like universal health care as aspirational other likely contenders include former vice president joe biden and former congressman who narrowly lost the texas senator
9:16 pm
race last year well let's have a ton see has the latest now from washington d.c. one of the reasons why there are so many potential democratic presidential nominees is because many of them wanted to announce before bernie sanders got into the race they wanted to get some momentum because bernie sanders is the front runner of the declared candidates he has the best nationwide organization he has the most on the biggest small donor base he has the best measurement recognition the only other candidate who does better than him is joe biden the former vice president on the barack obama who has not yet declared whether he will be running and if he does that we will see a very similar pub's very bitter campaign season between that centrist or stablish one right wing section of the democratic party and the bernie sanders wing the younger wing of the democratic party who say more fundamental change is needed than the democrats have offered up to now well let's get more on this now we're joined by christine for mostly a member of the democratic national committee and she's joining us live from san
9:17 pm
francisco very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so it is of course send a second robinsons twenty six dean you know policies that he's long championed have gained a lot of traction within the party including from some of his fellow twenty twenty bit as is it a more favorable landscape to send us this time around do you think. well i think it's very exciting that bernie sanders is running again he has millions of voters who supported him last time who are certainly seeing him as the front runner i also think it's really important to clarify that it's not so much a matter of contrasts between the left part of the party and the right part of the party it's a matter of how deep and authentic your policy beliefs are as one who authored for example the fight for fifteen resolution at the democratic national committee four years ago and has been fighting for a lot of progressive change on campaign finance reform since i was voting on to the committee as a young democrat i can tell you bernie sanders was
9:18 pm
a very welcome voice for reform but he's not the only voice and will be a challenge for i think for all of the candidates to meet the voters where we are we want to con a me that works for all of us but also for each of us well if he's not the only candidate you know does does he sort of news his uniqueness do you think in this crowded field with a lot of the misspells ing a lot of the same ideas. of reform. well let's say this. bernie sanders is is the front runner he has an organization he has candidates he's helped elect to public office and party office in the last couple of years he also wants to be careful that he's not a victim of his own success one of the successes is that people start to realize that there is a winning message and having universal health care or college tuition and rising wages the downside of that success as you mentioned is that there are other candidates who can come in and be
9:19 pm
a fresh face adopt his ideas and perhaps. beat him because this time around he is the establishment his ideas are still challenging but logistically speaking right now he's the front runner he's the establishment which means that he's the one everybody's out there trying to be so it'll be a very exciting campaign and as long as people stick to the issues and joy i think it'll be a fun campaign wolf the democratic party look on him more favorably if he is more of an establishment candidate than he was last time how much will they support send us this time well as i said right now we'll see how the campaign goes right now he's the front runner we also changed the rules at the democratic national committee to say that if you run for the democratic party nomination you have to register as a democrat bernie sanders has indicated that he's going to do that i think that that will allay a number of fears and so your audience is clear we also pass that so that
9:20 pm
billionaire candidates such as the former c.e.o. of starbucks who want to run as a democrat would also need to register in our party so whether you are a sitting elected official or a business person coming from outside the party structure we want to make sure that we are nominating. a member of our own party to be our standard bearer to go against donald trump but remember that still the biggest question who can be donald trump not only on the economy but in the role of commander in chief and how are they going to do it you know and just want to address on vermont public radio on tuesday morning when he was announcing his that he's going to call the president he called him an embarrassment to the country a pathological liar a racist a sexist a homophobe xeno food does this give us an idea of the of the approach of a confrontational approach that he'll take
9:21 pm
well one one area where. i think that bernie sanders and donald trump appeal to some of the same people was on the issue of trade the big fight over what was that t p p trade. deal that a lot of people felt perhaps left out in the new economy if you look where trump won his nomination it was places where the wages have stagnated between two thousand and four and two thousand and fourteen it was places where jobs were lost to globalization and automation and it was a call it was something called white distress in the workforce that is to say a lower participation of white males in the workforce and distress about it in some cases out and out racism and that's where the sanders and trump voters diverge so i think that addition to attacking trump bernie sanders and everyone else has to talk about our personal economy and in a changing global economy and the changing nature of work in communities where there are gigs but not jobs in communities that need. to have jobs so that people
9:22 pm
don't grow up and move away but actually stay home in the community that's going to be the major focus of the democratic campaign let's stipulate to the negatives against trump or they wouldn't be running but then let's talk about what are you going to do for me in my life and i hope that that is where the majority of the contrast is going to be john mr lucy thank you very much for your time on this we do appreciate it that is christina pelosi live and san francisco thank you thank you. now russia says it's open to humanitarian corridors in syria to now people in the refugee camp to return home the u.n. says most of the forty thousand people there are women and children stranded in extremely harsh conditions for years the camp lies in the remote syrian desert near the border with jordan and iraq imran khan has more. russian military patrols

9:24 pm
walking the few kilometers to where the humanitarian corridors actually start or they simply just set up the humanitarian corridors on their own now the situation within the camp itself is incredibly dire they were only able to get a first shipment the first of a couple in a few months of aid to the camp a few days ago and many women and children who are the main residents of that camp absolutely desperate. meanwhile in southeastern syria fighting continues in the last i saw held village of alba who was the syrian democratic forces the kurdish led troops backed by the u.s. have surrounded the village most of which has been reduced to rubble inside around two hundred villages are being held hostage by eisel intense many of them apparently being actively prevented from leaving by high school and continued to be subjected to a tense a fight aaron granbury strikes by the u.s. led coalition forces and their s.t.'s allies on the ground. so high commissioner puts it when i quote civilians continue to be used as pawns by the various parties
