leon says that the world be a better place because religion disappeared tomorrow yes mehdi has a son guys head to head with richard dawkins on al-jazeera. white house officials are accused of defining legal advice to sell nuclear technology to saudi arabia. or this is al jazeera live from london also coming up pakistan's prime minister says his country had no hand in the killing of forty one indian soldiers in kashmir . they may have the money and the power we have the people back on the campaign trail bernie sanders says he's running again for the democratic ticket to the white house and the high priest of high fashion karl

lagerfeld danis at the age of eighty five. in the welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump's former national security advisor and other white house officials are accused of ignoring legal advice in a bid to sell nuclear technology to saudi arabia that's according to a new report released by u.s. house democrats now they accuse administration officials of pushing for american companies to build thousands of nuclear power plants across the kingdom the efforts were in defiance of legal and ethical warnings that included concerns the saudis would use u.s. technology to develop a nuclear weapon mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. and has been following the story said that ming reports implicating some of the people closest to the president just explain to us how badly these findings are for

particular individual. well on the surface of it it's explain lee damning this is an extensive report and what's breathtaking about it is the detail that is provided names dates types of correspondence relating to the whole issue but one must remember that this is just the beginning the first salvo in what is likely to be a lengthy process this the first step in what the house committee insists is going to be an extensive investigation into this whole affair of essentially the. members of the trump administration and this soche it's attempting to circumvent congress and provide nuclear technology and information to saudi arabia now there are a number of names in the report who've already been the subject of the special counsel's inquiries paul man a foot name may be familiar he is facing conviction in the coming months gates has been indicted michael flynn himself pleaded guilty to giving false information to

the f.b.i. so these are just some of the names you also have the name of energy secretary rick perry who is connected directly to some of these companies then there's the president's son in law and close adviser jared cushion or that report indicates that a nuclear powered company a subsidiary actually paid for an apartment building that he home on fifth avenue new york in the last couple of years so this all the distractions as i said to tazz extensive detail but this is the beginning of the committee now has to conduct a full investigation to take it further but after that investigation like what could the actual consequences be for those named in that report. well the consequences could be immense so once again the first step is to ascertain whether or not these individuals all these members of trump's administration attempted to

circumvent the atomic security act this is an act that governs the release of u.s. technology to foreign countries and specifically prohibits the release of such technology for the advancement of nuclear power so that would be the first consequent should the inquiry come to an end but what is happening at this particular phase so not to get ahead of ourselves is the committee has sent a number of inquiries to a number of agencies including the number of secretaries as well of energy secretary defense secretary and to the chief of staff the acting chief of staff of the white house asking a number of questions and asking for more detailed information in the letter to the chief of the wives star for example it points out that a private entity promoting nuclear efforts in saudi arabia i p three send documents directly to their national security advisor michael flynn for president trump to

approve as recently as february the twelve twenty nineteen that's a week ago president trump participated in a white house meeting initiated by i p three international so the committees asked for all document documentation pertaining to this it's asked for details of president trump's meeting back in march one thousand nine hundred ninety eight twenty seventeen with the crown prince of saudi crown prince as i asked for all sorts of exhaustive detail similar debtors would have gone to the secretary of defense to the secretary of energy all of the still be collated and importantly to probably the first step by the committee is to bring these whistleblowers into the house to go on record giving the information in person that they have provided to the committee on the whistleblower process. mike hanna with the latest on the developing story in washington think here pakistan's prime minister has rejected

india's accusation that his country is behind thursday's car bombing in the disputed kashmir region which killed forty one indian paramilitary soldiers imran khan said pakistan would retaliate of india launched an attack in response to the bombing but he also offered to cooperate with his neighbors investigation in this foreign ministry meanwhile meanwhile dismissed his remarks we are not surprised that the prime minister of pakistan refuses to acknowledge that attack on our security forces and pull lama as an act of terrorism prime minister of pakistan has neither chosen to condemn this ainus act not. with the beaded families disclaiming any link between the 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 dirtiest who perpetrated this highness' crime it

is a very long fact that gesture moment and its leader muscled as her are based in pakistan this should be sufficient proof for pakistan to take action well in a moment as jimmy will report on india's full reaction from new delhi first though here is come out hyder in islamabad. tensions between india and pakistan remain at an all time high although dayton all far from saudi arabia and 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 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 in volga stand which was 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 he wanted to talk to india on all bilateral issues but the andean he said had already gone pakistan's all whenever pakistan all for dialogue the prime minister said that bogged down wanted peace in the region of foreign minister also created a dating that they had to be based in their region however prime minister emraan khan also had a warning for india should they plan an attack against pakistan in the sun 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 we are under pressure but because they are enemies of parks 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 in litter 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 part of my insight and the facts that i. while the investigations continue many in india are 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 communalistic politics now that is undermining dean violent that is what is resulting in more and more frustration and more and more recruitment for. this analyst says the current intelligence agencies are understaffed and resources are mr directed but it is involved in political intelligence that is involved in the hold range of other 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. us politician bernie sanders has entered the twenty twenty presidential race. i'm running for president the seventy seven year old independent senator from vermont has launched his second bid to win the democratic party's nomination sanders says he's running to defeat donald trump who he describes as a pathological liar and racist sanders lost the democratic nomination to hillary clinton in two thousand and sixteen many democrats though say the circumstances of bernie sanders this time around are very different we spoke to john f. injured the former communications director at the democratic national convention it's a whole different ballgame although it does feel very familiar in some unpleasant ways i think there are a lot of democratic primary voters who would really like to put twenty sixteen

behind them and suddenly we're having some flashbacks here if you're handicapping his chances i think it's a very different situation in two thousand and sixteen he was the only alternative to hillary clinton who was much vilified in the general media all over the place here he has a bunch of hardcore supporters still who've been hanging on many of whom were turned on or introduced to politics for the first time by his candidacy in two thousand and sixteen what's interesting is i think he'll have a hard time with folks who weren't with him back then because there are a lot of all other alternatives now and so people who don't like him from back then but if the field is split broadly you could actually see him getting a plurality and doing well enough to be competitive into the later rounds where there aren't that many choices so i just have to see how this plays out. still to come on al-jazeera we've reported on the personal stories behind the hundreds killed been venezuela's years of violence and the peace deal in south sudan is making little difference to thousands of people board this place.
