in just a moment but first pakistan's military says indian air force planes have crossed into pakistan administered and released an unspecified payload tension between the two countries has been escalating since a suicide bombing killed at least forty soldiers and did administered earlier this month let's go now to our correspondent and he's joining us live from the capital what are you hearing about this. elizabeth indian officials are being tight lipped right now what we're getting is from media reports and as you mentioned from the pakistan military what we do know from indian media reports that about twelve indian air force planes took part in this strike dropping bombs on camps that indian officials say belong to armed

groups that openly threaten its territory and one of these groups is jaish e mohammed which is the group that claimed responsibility for that attack on february fourteenth that killed at least forty indian paramilitary troops in indian administered kashmir now we haven't confirmed that this is the group targeted but it has been the target of indian officials and politicians here since the attack took place now as you mentioned the pakistan army has been releasing some information and one spokesperson major general us of for he claims that the indian air force attacked balakot now that's not boxed on administered kashmir that's pakistan proper and if that's true that makes things a lot more serious in september two thousand and sixteen elizabeth the indian military performed what it calls surgical strikes that was targeting these armed groups over in pakistan administered kashmir over the line of control but now targeting a group in actual undisputed territory that significantly ups the ante says thank

you very much for that for now that's made with the nations joining us from new delhi and we will of course be going back to him for any updates on this developing story but let's move on to another developing story north korean leader kim jong un has arrived in vietnam for a meeting with the u.s. president donald trump and hanoi is going to head to the god of the on a train station on the border as will be the second race in between the two leaders . singapore last year is expected to arrive on tuesday that's got on diplomatic editor james bays he's joining us live from hanoi and has a say has kevin arrived in hanoi slightly ahead of james. certainly we weren't really given any schedule because of the very tight security and that tight security was in evidence as he arrived here in the last few minutes as you say he came into the city bar

a motorcade because he'd made his way here from north korea by land he'd gone for a very long trip across all of china which took over two days on his official train that he brought it with him from north korea he left the train at the border the last bit of the journey was by road just took a couple of hours that was a little less than we expected but of course the roads were closed for his motorcade there was no one else on the road fast journey here arriving in the last few minutes at his hotel in hanoi he's arrived here in the last few minutes in the last half hour the u.s. secretary of state has arrived here clearly the other key player is president trump he's in the air about three hours ago he stopped for refueling on air force one that aria milled in the whole of the u.k. on the east coast of the u.k. there we go to the update from the white house because as you know there are

reporters who travel the so-called pool who travel with the president when he is or more of these trips they were briefed on the flight on air force one by sarah saunders the spokeswoman for the president and she revealed that the first big event of the summit takes place hanoi time on wednesday evening there'll be a short meeting between the two leaders and then a working dinner and then the full negotiations the detailed negotiations they hope to have a full day's work on thursday and james how much progress would you say has been made on the issue of denuclearization that very big issue on the korean peninsula sense. they lost me saying in singapore last year that there was so much fanfare around. there was so much fanfare because there was talk asia there were smiles there was a very dipped different atmosphere in singapore from the top just months before of

imminent warfare that has been the big change in july last year if you look at what's happened since july not a lot of things of stalled was there any major concession by the north koreans know we've had no more nuclear tests we've had no more missiles tests and the u.s. has suspended its military exercises that's the basic deal that kept this process going but no big concessions all no nuclear program and some questions that that key phrase denuclearization still even now the two sides have different views on what that exactly means and what it entails that potentially will make these talks difficult but we've already heard from president trump pretty low expectations his key demand is that there are no more tests and that is the situation now and

there's no indication that north korea is going to restart its testing beyond that it seems that the u.s. president is prepared to have a pretty slow moving process because if you look at this as president trouble was does in domestic terms right now he's turned a situation of imminent war into one of a stalemate and some sort of peace for him for now that so when james thank you very much for that for now that's our diplomatic editor james live and hanna thank you. iran's top diplomat has suddenly resigned mohamed jobs a relief played a central role in brokering the twenty fifty nuclear deal between iran and a number of world powers but after the u.s. pulled out of the agreement last year came under increasing criticism at home mike hanna reports from the united nations. this was a moderate face of a nation apparently seeking reconciliation with western powers mohamad was educated

in the us and served as ambassador to the united nations before becoming foreign minister in two thousand and thirteen. he was the driving force in the intense negotiations with the west in nuclear powers that led to what became known as the joint comprehensive plan of action an agreement in which iran agreed to a limited sensitive nuclear activities and give access to international inspectors in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions. the deal now threatened by the unilateral decision of president trump to no longer abide by it it's a bad deal it's a bad structure it's falling down should have never ever. been made i blame congress i blame a lot of people for but it should have never been made. in the months since the u.s. announcement there's been increasing criticism of the foreign minister by some elements

in iran who had argued that it proved the foreign minister had been misled in negotiating the deal. a long time user of social media mohammed raef was well aware that twitter is restricted in iran and announced his resignation on instagram which is widely available i think the generosity of the dia and courageous people of iran and respect to the fischel is over the last sixty seven months he says i apologize sincerely for my inability to continue serving and for all the shortcomings and flaws during the term of my service be happy and proud the announcement came on the same day that syrian president bashar assad made a surprise visit to iran his first since the civil war broke out in syria eight years ago among those he met was a rainy and president hassan rouhani who's yet to confirm that you'll accept his foreign minister's resignation mike hanna al-jazeera. straight upon things

professor of middle east politics at georgetown university and he says it all with resignation as a surprise and may just set back for the iran nuclear deal. if his resignation is accepted then without a doubt this is a major blow to the nuclear deal because you have now not only zarif gone to a major architect of the deal and someone who of course is still very much credit to it but also in europe within a couple of months for the recommit getting me and how you get tenure will end as well which means that there's no one left in europe at that level that actually was that deeply involved in the process and have that sense of ownership for the deal so it's certainly not a movement in the direction of strengthening the only would certainly weaken it but we don't know yet whether he actually will be relieved of his duties as foreign minister the public's reaction will also be in fact there that will factor into

whether the supreme leader and rouhani accept his resignation or not if you have a significant backlash from the public then that may very well lead to rouhani and hominy to the point of refusing to accept that resignation but if you're exotic resigns i think one factor that led to this is that the way that the trumpet ministration has essentially waged a war against a j.c. way really made it much easier for hardliners in iran to criticize and attack serif because the g security ended up not delivering to the iranian public what it was promised as a result to what trump was doing and that really weakened his position and reduced his maneuverability. when is when there has denounced a coalition of western and latin american nations accusing them of waging a ferocious campaign to unseat president nicolas maduro earlier the met in colombia and backed a motion for a democratic transition of power in venezuela but without the use of force the

a view many young senegalese have of their political system days after sunday's presidential election the anxiously wait for the results although we grew up with this idea that cheating and corruption are part of the political system we have been many plea to them brainwashed to think this is normal that being dishonest is the way to succeed in the system but this is not what we want this has to stop. while the electoral commission is counting the votes cells prime minister announce his victory with fifty seven percent of the vote much to the surprise of the opposition. but in a joint press conference candidate second song goes a marquee cell does not have enough votes to win he needs fifty percent of the electorate to claim victory without a second round the election commission has yet to announce the final results and already candidates it seems are preparing to contest the final outcome card in this hustle for power or the people of senegal. it is

bought a goose the last remaining eisel controlled territory close to the border with iraq in two thousand and fifteen leisel controlled around that ninety thousand square kilometers of territory across syria and iraq after more than two years of fighting involving a us led a multinational coalition the territorial battle against eisel is all but one. so what happens to the approximately six thousand u.s. troops still in iraq u.s. presidents donald trump a seen here visiting american soldiers at the assad air base in december says he wants some troops to remain in iraq to as he puts it keep an eye on neighboring iran the comment has angered many of iraq's shia politicians. is leader of the powerful pro iran group. and with the had any chance recent

statement had nothing to do with the welfare of iraq the targeting of iran from here is totally unacceptable that iran is iraq's biggest and most powerful ally in the region pro iran armed groups have been highly effective in the fight against eisel. well. there is a clash among iraqi politicians many of whom don't want iraq to be potentially a launching pad for u.s. policies against neighboring countries primarily iran kurdish peshmerga forces have been stationed at this position since two thousand and fourteen but commanders here tell us that i still sleep purcell's a still operate in the surrounding countryside and villages close by so it's probably not surprising that those commanders along with kurdish and sunni arab politicians say they don't want american forces to leave iraq because they doubt their ability to be able to deal with the threat alone. it is important to keep the

coordination and cooperation between the kurdish forces and the u.s. led coalition in this region it is vital to keep long term political and security relationships in order to preserve the security. in iraq so the departure of u.s. troops from the country in two thousand and eleven was one of the reasons why isis spread so fast. anger and scorn was polled on iraq's army which played mosul without a fight about the billions of dollars of american supplied weapons to eisele two thousand and fourteen. the shia led coalition in iraq's parliament has determined that u.s. troops must soon leave iraq is renewed strengths to put forward a bill that if voted into law would force all u.s. forces out this shows the president trumps iran policy has potentially huge political and security ramifications for its neighbor that has already suffered decades of war started out as era more than iraq. but who cares
