a u.s. congressional report raises concerns about the trumpet ministration sharing nuclear technology with saudi arabia. to the program venezuela's military has really reaffirmed its loyalty for embattled president nicolas maduro defense minister vladimir putin says the armed forces will remain in position along the border to prevent potential threats speaking on state television producer describe the us president's recent speech about his country as arrogant and senseless the top administration has been calling on murderous army to defect and support opposition leader one quite oh brazil is creating a task force to deliver humanitarian aid to the venezuelan border it's working with the united states to send shipments by saturday brazil says it comes at one request that the opposition leader will be responsible for its distribute. president

government has blocked us aid from entering from neighboring colombia june how small above a state in brazil. brazil is coordinating and cooperating with the united states to supply aid to venezuela and that supply of aid is set to begin on saturday february twenty third that's all according to brazilian presidential spokesman ottavio bottomless he said all this during a news conference in brasilia it was stated that the request for this aid came from venezuelan opposition leader juan and that it's. who will be responsible for getting that aid from brazil into venezuela and then distributing that aid which is to be comprised of food and medical supplies once inside venezuela now this announcement was expected because there was this looming deadline we'd heard about of february twenty third and yet there was still confusion until the announcement

was made as to exactly what was going to happen was brazil going to be taking aid into venezuela has been israel are going to be picking up aid from brazil the question now is where exactly will this aid be taken to along brazil's border with venezuela will it be in pocket i'ma that is the most logical place as that is a border town right on the country's border with venezuela it's also the main entry point for venezuelan migrants when they leave in israel and come into northern brazil still many questions to come as exactly what is going to happen it was also stated that there is going to be an interim in the serial cast force that is going to be dealing with the logistics of this all we expect more details in the days to come. well before the power struggle venezuela's homicide rate target become one of the highest in the world or local one of the us to its killings by police on the military rose by fifty percent last year truth about.

finding people that dare speak about police brutality is not easy in venezuela these days may be at the low says she lives in constant fear since her nephew son who she races he was a baby was killed during demonstrations against the government last month he was fifteen years old i don't know. i never expected anything like this because if ellison had been a criminal then you can expect anything but he was not the case he worked in a bakery and apparently he went with friends to protest against the government navy says her nephew was killed by a police special forces unit known as face when they entered got the neighborhood and got back us where protests have intensified in the past year or so forth although chavez socialist revolution used to run high in neighborhoods like this one but the situation has changed because of young going economic crisis and that's why the government has started a crackdown in neighborhoods like this one when the protests take place using special forces and other units people tell us that they're intimidated hair raft

and sometimes killed when they raise their voice against the president. for these violence has been on the rise in venezuela especially in the country's poorest districts among those who want supported or chavez socialist revolution kavi more you know sunshine i was also killed by the police she was preparing a manger just before christmas when the police raided the area she says officers started shooting at everyone every room my son said it hurts but i thought he was talking about his cousin i didn't know he had also been shot they killed him my son play baseball and he said mom when i'm bigger i'll buy you a decent house and now he is dead we're going to do good. and i guess cause and we got a look at that will suffer fine you were logical disorder his mother says he was helpless is that. i saw a car and i heard the shot is. what i thought my son was hiding i never imagine my

son was already dead he was disabled me. in two thousand and fifteen the government launched what's known as the people's liberation operation to fight crime in the country slums the fear is that as opposition against the government's threats so with its attempt to curtail dissent the independent group violence observatory says that more than ten thousand people have been killed in the past two years you and i knew the this is here that we reported in two thousand and seventeen five thousand people killed because of crime fighting operations last year increased to seven thousand five hundred this means that every day in venezuela the police in the military killed twenty people because they resisted authority that is the excuse they use in venezuela we don't have a death penalty we are talking about people killed on the streets or in their homes the government denies any wrongdoing and insist that those killed are part of criminal gangs people like avi moreno say that's nonsense and that their children

were victims of the security forces excessive and unnecessary abuse of power. back us. now pakistan's prime minister has rejected india's accusations that his country was behind last thursday's car bombing in the disputed kashmir region now that attack killed forty one indian soldiers. asked for evidence of pakistani involvement and promised retaliation if india taxes country but also offered to cooperate with his neighbor to investigate the blast india's foreign ministry expressed disappointment at the pakistani leaders remarks saying calm failed to denounce the armed group. which has claimed responsibility for the attack we are not surprised that the prime minister of pakistan refuses to acknowledge the attack on our security forces and. as an act of terrorism prime minister of pakistan has neither chosen to condemn this ainus act not. with the families

disclaiming any link between the terrorist attack and pakistan is an oft repeated excuse by pakistan it is a very long fact that gesture moment and you. are based in pakistan this should be sufficient proof for pakistan to take action well first of all from new delhi. the funerals continue across india as 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 for granted. 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 was. brought

out. reductive. 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 the past five years have been a period of extremely disruptive. communal politics now that is undermining the environment 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 wrecked it because it

is involved in political intelligence that is involved in the hold range of other activities many of them under aged two to 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 you delhi. to the united nations she says pakistan's prime minister imran khan wants to improve relations with india. let me repeat what the prime minister said this morning he said he is prepared for an investigation provided there is actionable intelligence or credible evidence that is provided to pakistan i think his words are loud and clear there is no need for you to be either skeptical or doubtful about this but i think you should also examine india's no talks posture

they need to be talking to pakistan and we are ready able and willing to have this conversation not just about the incident that occurred but about all the outstanding issues that divide our two countries we think the situation is a dangerous one we don't think this kind of escalation is in the interest of either pakistan or india or the entire region or indeed of the international community that you speak off it is irresponsible not to have a conversation the conversation cannot occur through the media it cannot occur through threatening statements it cannot occur through television interviews it has to occur directly between the governments of the two countries and for that my country is ready russia says it's open to corridors and syria to allow people in the barn refugee camp to return home but these pictures of the preparations are being released by the russian news agency ruptly the rope on campus in a remote corner of the syrian desert near the border with jordan and iraq it's home

to more than forty thousand people mostly women and children. next you were probably a monster you're so lucky to be uncivil as of today the rock band refugee camp located near the military base keeps having problems the 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 now seven syrian refugee children all members of one family have died in a house fire in the eastern canadian province of nova scotia investigators described the blaze as the most deadly in recent history refugee support group said the family moved to the area and twenty seventeen the oldest child was fourteen the youngest was born in november the children's father is in

a serious condition in hospital their mother was also injured. five civilians including two young brothers have been killed during mortar shelling by the rebels in yemen the attack happened in the data province at least fifteen people were injured it follows the un's announcement of a breakthrough agreement for the withdrawal of troops from the port city of the data as soon as wednesday and the who tees and the saudi backed government agreed to redeploy forces in an attempt to end the war yemenis desperately need aid the who data is a key port for those supplies. our diplomatic etta james bays has an update from the un on yemen. the un security council was told by the special envoy for yemen mohsin gryphus that the redeployment of forces around today this stage one would start in the next twenty four hours of course the redeployment was supposed to start after the stock called peace deal and that's two months ago and all the

while the humanitarian situation on the ground in yemen has been getting worse the u.n. was briefed by the undersecretary general mark local in short mr president things are very band and unfortunately aid agencies are running out of money. among the many challenges the eighty eight operation faces funding is quickly becoming the biggest we expect current resources to be used up by the end of march just six weeks from now the special envoy martin griffiths also told the security council there's been progress in talks on trying to get a prisoner exchange between the various parties fighting in yemen again talk of progress but like redeployment no actual progress yet. plenty heard here on the al jazeera news our including karl lagerfeld who dominated fashion for half

relating to u.s. nuclear technology in saudi arabia the oversight committee under representative elijah cummings based the report on what it calls whistleblower accounts evidence provided by career officials within the administration deeply concerned about what would appear to be a deeply corrupt process circumventing congress what is surprising us the scope of u.s. government officials. directly involved and nice business to business talks. whipped out this close and potential economic interest in the work that they were doing and that is certainly what is new among those named in the report to president trump's son in law and adviser jared cushion or who refinanced a deeply indebted new york building with a company called brookfield business partners which had just acquired a nuclear services company westinghouse electric under scrutiny as well question

his ongoing relationship with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman. and central to the report longtime trump supporter and one time national security advisor michael flynn who the report says was deeply involved in pushing a nuclear plan for saudi arabia that included the construction of as many as forty saudi nuclear plants the report says michael flynn was a paid advisor to a company known as i p three international during the presidential campaign through the transition period and even while serving as national security advisor the report ends on february the twelfth that is last week president trump participated in a white house meeting with private nuclear power developers initiated by i p three international and as a democrat led oversight committee commences

a large scale investigation the question is whether house republicans will commit to it as well mike hanna al-jazeera washington. of the world is a historian consultant on energy and geopolitics he says saudi arabia is seeking a little tone a turn alternative power source to its use of domestic oil. well let's put this entire issue into context we're not talking right now about nuclear weapons technology that's an entirely different ballgame from what we're talking about retirement nuclear power technology savvy arabia has there's no indication that saudi arabia wants to enrich its own your brainy and you have to enrich uranium in a much higher level for any kind of nuclear weaponry than you would for a nuclear power plant now saudi arabia is first of all it's very expensive to enrich your own uranium and enrich uranium for power plants is actually quite cheap

so it really wouldn't make any sense for saudi arabia to want to build its own nuclear weapons technology what we're talking about is the power generation and here's here's here's basically the lay of the land saudi arabia forty four percent of saudi arabia's electricity generation right now comes from oil and that's both horrible for the environment and bad for the country economically it much rather sell that oil or turn it into petro chemicals or some other profitable substance basically any toil that they burn for electricity is basically wasted now this is a country that cannot use hydroelectric power which is very very beneficial for baseload electricity generation and so the only non hydrocarbon electricity source of electricity that they can really turn to at this point is nuclear so it's extremely beneficial and these see it as as basically an imperative to build nuclear power plants and that's not just saudi arabia it's other places in the gulf

as well. a veteran new york times correspondent has been denied entry into egypt david kirkpatrick was detained without explanation of the arrived at cairo airport on monday the former cairo bureau chief was then scored on to a flight back to london the following day the new york times says patrick's denial of entry is part of a broader press crackdown and the president of the fact that a c.c.s. so hard zis is a professor of law because university and director of the center on security race and rights she says the u.s. government is partly to blame for the situation. it's in bold and by the trumpet ministration pompei o. was just there in january in egypt and claimed that america was doing good in the middle east and last july of two thousand and eighteen the white house and congress released two hundred ninety five million dollars that had been withheld from military aid to egypt on account of their human rights violations so clearly what's

happened is that the u.s. has caved on its commitments to human rights which is consistent with the trumpet ministration and that emboldened president sisi of egypt to do things that had never been done in the past it's one thing to oppress your own journalists which unfortunately has been the case in egypt over multiple decades but it's very unusual for the egyptian regime to exclude journalists of the stature of david kirkpatrick from an international mainstream newspaper based on no grounds whatsoever david kirkpatrick is known for being quite independent particularly insofar as his willingness to critique the egyptian regime and even the sisi regime and he recently published a book called into the hands of the soldiers which was at least viewed by many in the egyptian government to be critical and to identify what happened in two thousand and thirteen as a coup which is and that them how to the current sisi regime so it's actually no coincidence but still even previous journalists were critical even david

kirkpatrick when he was in cairo up to two thousand and fifteen he didn't experience expulsion so what we're seeing is a ratcheting up of press repression that is both within the country of twenty five journalists in egypt at least twenty five that are imprisoned and egypt trading is one hundred sixty one out of one hundred eighty at the world press freedom index so egypt is not even in a good situation regrets to its press freedom. journalist mahmoud is saying has been in the chips and prison for more than two years he's been held without charge trial or conviction hussein was detained on december the twentieth twenty sixteen by egyptian authorities upon his arrival in cairo for an annual vacation to visit his family egypt has accused the qatar based news producer of broadcasting false news al-jazeera denies these charges and calls for sane to be released immediately u.s. president donald trump says trade talks with china are going well the chinese delegation

arrived in washington on tuesday to resume talks with u.s. officials it follows last week's negotiations in beijing which ended without a deal trumpeters also indicated the march first deadline for raising terrorists from ten to twenty five percent could be extended i can't tell you exactly about timing but. the day is that a magical date a lot of things can happen in a group question will be will we raise the tariffs because they automatically kick in to twenty five percent as one two hundred billion dollars worth of goods that they said so i know the chairman would like that for that to happen so i think they're trying to move fair so that doesn't happen but it's we'll see what happens i can only say that the talks with china and trade have guy very very well in the meantime our economy is very strong we're doing well. bodhi has been one of the best performing economies in the world over the past two decades and that's

forecast to continue this year but there are threats to come bodie as growth wayne hale reports now from plump. the story of cambodia is a remarkable one from the ashes of genocide and civil war this country has been for decades rebuilt and transforms on the back of foreign investment and strong exports this year cambodia had the sixth fastest growing economy in the world ranking its head for twenty years the wealthy have become very wealthy although exactly how much money they have is in many cases impossible to know given that cambodia results are regarded by some as one of the most corrupt countries in the world in the last few years a small middle class has also begun to emerge thanks partly to a surge of foreign investment in real estate led by china. and the country. by land more expensive and some people can

get money from selling a piece of land and. moving around in a country and poverty rates in cambodia have fallen in the last fifteen years with twelve percent of the population now classified as severely poor a lower figure than before but the overwhelming majority of those who have climbed off the bottom are only just above it meaning they could easily slip down again the united nations estimates that more than twenty percent of cambodians are vulnerable to poverty the statistics are heading in the right direction but there's an underlying fragility cambodia's economy has been largely built on agriculture and textile exports to seke business still very much relies on the concern is there hasn't been enough emphasis on diversifying the economy and because of that its vulnerability could be easily exposed. there are a number of threats to cambodia's growth including drought that's forecast this year a possible global economic slowdown or tariffs being imposed on at six ports by the

european union over its human rights record but for many people there are more immediate concerns made worse by the real estate boom urban coldly with the constant fear of being forced out when a property developer comes knocking now i need to know that going on me really happy living in this community i'm very concerned every day i don't have a title because authorities haven't bridges to the people so we're always worried about being a victim. cambodia is developing fast but there are many threats emerging that could make for an uncertain economic future and a long way for some to climb out of poverty wayne hay al jazeera. well still ahead here on the back in fashion. business it's a make over in mosul. my administration has recognized space as a war fighting. one small step for. space force

fake news and if true it could spell trouble for whitaker who said this to congress under oath at no time has the white house asked to work nor have i provided any promises or commitments concerning the special counsel's investigation or any other investigation line to congress is a crime the justice department is denying the new york times story but the paper is also reporting the lawyers for the president reached out to lawyers for two of his former top aides to talk about potential pardons his former national security advisor michael flynn who has pled guilty to light the f.b.i. and his former campaign chairman paul metaphor who has been convicted of a litany of other crimes this is a story of a president already under investigation for obstructing justice potentially making it much worse for himself at the very least giving special counsel robert mueller even more to look into. al-jazeera washington. no us politician betty sanders

has and to the twenty twenty white house race it's the independent senators second attempt he lost the democratic party's twenty sixteen nomination to hillary clinton whose defeats by donald trump the seventy seven year old will campaign on many of the same promises as last time including universal health care higher minimum wage and free public college tuition. 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

justice christine pleasing is a member of the democratic national committee she says bernie sanders is most likely to be the frontrunner in the race. 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 a contrast 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 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 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 beat. now it's been more than a year and a half since eisel defeat in mosul despite pledges by the international community of tens of billions of dollars we construction of the destroyed west of the city has hardly begun as people continue to struggle to rebuild their lives their ox national security adviser says eisel fighters are regrouping and recruiting in certain parts of the country charles trafford as well from mosul. a beauty salon in eastern mosul business as usual and want to several to open in the city since i saw was forced out almost two years ago before that women here caught wearing makeup or not covering their faces would be whipped seventy times we didn't have beauty

salons when i sell ruled in muscle but after they were defeated the beauty business had become popular again it's a sign of overcoming eisel indoctrination. life on the surface at least may be returning to normal in the east of the city but just two kilometers away it's a very different world. this is western mosul what used to be the old city where i saw fighters put up their last stand last year international donors pledged around thirty billion dollars in loans and investment to help rebuild the devastated parts of iraq including mosul but the results are slow in coming. it's been more than year and a half since victory over eisel was declared here and there is very little sign of reconstruction having started yet there are daily reports of isis supporters and fights is trying to recruit in areas they wants controlled the territorial battle

against i still may be over but the ideological battle goes on. one of the reasons i still was able to take root in mosul and vost swathes of iraq's sunni heartland in the west and north of the country was because of what the sunni community said was neglect discrimination and often violence by repeated shia led government but all suffered terrible atrocities under isis rule shia christians use e.-d. and sunni alike according to iraq's national security adviser eisel is already trying to reorganize and has increased its activities in parts of north and western iraq iraqi security forces continue to arrest members of what they describe as i sold sleeper cells in recent months i still is reported to have kidnapped and murdered dozens of people it's accused of cooperating with iraqi security forces and they have been countless attacks by i saw on iraqi soldiers and members of the

various pro iran armed groups that were at the forefront of the fight against eisel the local government in mosul says they are taking measures against any attempt to spread isis message. in that cool i have ordered for unified friday sermons in all mosques in the in of a province hocussed on counteracting i saw as ideology and highlighting the atrocities committed by them and how people should work together to overcome their ramadan so i sold culture at the place where baghdadi declared himself kalif of isis so cool caliphate in two thousand and fourteen officials lead plaque marking the start of a five year project to rebuild the annuity mosque. but iraqis their leaders and governments around the world know it will take more than just reconstruction to defeat ideas. stratford al-jazeera mosul now the united

states is a step closer to creating a space force president donald trump has ordered the pentagon to establish the new military department which will begin as part of the air force america must be fully equipped a defender of vital interests our adversaries are training forces and developing technology to undermine our security in space and they're working very hard at that that's why my administration has recognized space as a war fighting domain and made the creation of the space force a national security priority i think we'll have great support from congress because they do support something when we're talking about such importance. joel rubin is a former u.s. state department aide on political military and middle east affairs he joins me now live via skype from chevy chase in maryland good to have you with us i mean this may have started actually is that sort of a campaign slogan which is now or now has the looks of becoming reality despite

sort of the initial criticism from opponents are you surprised we've got to this point. well it certainly has made a lot of progress through what president trump initially called out sure in the campaign but there is a background to this and this is not a new idea and it's also not very clear where the american congress is or certainly the american people are in it and so president trump is pushing forward but concerns don't begin here from congress are about making this too much focused on military activity and not enough about the commercial applications and not not really clear what diplomatic strategy is to ensure that we don't militarize space in dado will talk about the commercial side of it in a moment for example if china and india have made no secret of their desire to venture and go forth where if i can use the phrase where no man has gone before i mean is that a factor for the u.s.

right now where they sort of mothballed the shuttle program there any really working with the international space station as their main priority. well the american space program is a point of national pride in this country clearly and around the world it's always good looked to as the leader but we've had some shocks to the system lately in particular with the moon with the chinese getting to the dark side of the moon that was a real shock to the american system so there are concerns that we are falling behind in the space race although this exact space force is not necessarily designed for that because nasa is civilian space agency is not part of this military option and of course you know let's talk about the commercial companies that have risen. in recent years i mean that there is a reaction is that not companies like virgin galactic and space x. offering not just sort of commercial potential but also offering their services

maybe to governments that the u.s. wouldn't like to see take to the skies and take to space. yeah i actually was in huntsville alabama in december the species filippi there and there's a lot of pride in nasa for its back background in fundamental research into space exploration in a sense that the private companies are piggybacking on that and really able to leverage the significant amount of taxpayer dollars that have gone into building an american space program and there's concern about the rules of the road what are they how is this going to be governed how are we going to ensure there's international cooperation that space travel is something that is excess of all a lot of real critical policy issues that we're barely beginning to grapple with here as you point out the military the diplomatic up legations commercial there's a lot going on right now and there's not a clear american space policy let alone

a global one and of course what we've got now is a timeline of events that president trumpet like to say for the space force how long do you think it's going to take from the words we've heard from him to actually saying it in operation. well first let's go through the american congress and there has to be money appropriated and they have to begin to develop it so this is years in the making if it is to get to the point where we actually have a legitimate force within the u.s. military so it will take time and it's not at all clear that there's enough monetary support right now to support that kind of adventure but there still is deep concern about americans role in space and about protecting our assets in space or certainly some form of application will take place but this is years in the making or see how this pans out for a moment joel rubin thanks very much for joining us from maryland it. now to
