employees not to quit after his sudden resignation. exclusive access to a hospital in brazil where venezuelans injured in the latest protests tell their story. india says its military has carried out as strikes close to the border of pakistan in pakistan administered kashmir it says an armed group behind a suicide attack in the indian administered kashmir was the target of the indian foreign ministry says many fighters were killed at the same mohammed training camp to caught the group of claimed responsibility for the attack that killed at least forty indian paramilitary personnel earlier this month but islamabad denies there were any casualties or damage done by the indian airstrikes pakistani

military spokesman tweeted these pictures said to show deputy from the strikes the indian government says the fighters were being trained to carry out another attack in the face of its danger a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary. in an intelligence led operation in the early hours of today india struck the biggest training camp of the just a moment in balakot in this operation a very large number of gentian mamak terrorists trainers senior commanders and groups of jihad these who being trained for free then action were eliminated the government of india is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all necessary measures to fight the minutes of terrorism hence this nonmilitary preemptive action was specifically targeted at the moment camp of the indian government

is carrying out raids on housing is and so-called separatist leaders in srinagar the capital of indian administered kashmir a curfew has been imposed in cities across the disputed region come out harder as our correspondent live in the pakistan capital islamabad and phares jamil is in the indian capital new delhi first of all let's go to you fares because the indian foreign ministry has been giving some detail some clarification as to what exactly is going are on in the early hours of this morning so tell us what we know as to what the strikes entailed and exactly what the targets were. martine as we heard in the clip from indians foreign secretary the targets were the armed groups jaish e mohammed that claimed responsibility for the attack earlier this month on indian paramilitary troops now the two things that the foreign secretary was emphasizing

one that this was preemptive in their words and that they're calling this nonmilitary now preemptive because india is claiming that jaish e mohammed was going to carry out other suicide bombing soon enough which is why they struck first now they were also careful to call this a nonmilitary in their words because they said that no pockets dhani military was targeted no pakistani civilians were targeted and the infrastructure of box on was targeted this was solely focused on the group jaish e mohammed and they went on to say that the only reason that india acted was because that pocket son wouldn't six since this suicide bombing on february fourteenth indian officials have repeatedly asked baucus on to take action against jaish e mohammad and other armed groups that operate in the territory that openly threaten indian troops and indian territory but pakistan kept saying they wanted hard proof in this action india said that the fact that these groups claim responsibility and

operate in pakistani territory was enough and presumably that for now the indian government is prepared for a pakistani response of some full. well the air defenses along the border and the line of control in kashmir have been put on high alert and there's also a meeting going on right now in the last few minutes india's national security adviser so they're keeping in mind they don't know what the pakistani reaction is going to be they have tried to emphasize with calling it nonmilitary saying pakistan wasn't targeted only these groups pakistan is they don't know though how some will react to that we've also learned though in the last few minutes as you mentioned there is a curfew going on in india and mr mir in the capital srinagar we've also found out in the last little while that clashes are taking place between security forces and a large number of locals that have broken their curfew and have come gathered in

the downtown area so india is staying on alert in that region and along the borders as well all right thank you very much for that well the pakistan foreign minister also released a statement. says that pakistan reserves the reasonable right to respond and the right to self-defense live to islamabad. so the indians are saying come all the this was an exercise in restraint it was a nonmilitary exercise targeting self confessed. proponents of this attack that killed more than forty indian security personnel. the huge difference between india and what they're saying. have made. that the indian. pre-dawn attack

then cross. the line of control that separates indian and pakistani administered. by forcing them to make a stated street across the border and dropping that ordinance. has got to go to state that there were no. indian. draw back into india in spades. documentary evidence. india wants to call them. have heard of any casualties on the ground. and if they vote.

to go to. draw and that they were. going to be important to see how. it will only go but a measured response. would be important to see what kind of evidence the india that able to bring forward. space for over twenty five minutes which is not logic good because. it was already. dead. been flying. to make sure there did it the bride very interesting indeed to see what really happened on the ground and read the indian claim it's great to. be able to prove that there was indeed no

underground right. correspondent there live in islamabad thank you very much indeed now we can speak to sri ram charlie who's the dean of jindal school of international affairs he's in sunny pass in northern india thank you very much indeed what's your understanding first of all of the exact location of these strikes and the damage or otherwise that was kools by. might be not our information in india he's the. terrorist training camps have been struck by the indian leader force of missouri for about chuck forty and balakot and balakot is actually outside. the region and he's in pakistan proper so in terms of the depth to which the near force went it probably crossed more than thirty kilometers across the line of control look at it and the way the reason they will evade detection was one because they had grounded in the dark of the night and to

you know the pakistani air defense systems are not that strong they have something more select system and they failed to detect them and they say that they scrambled their f. sixteen jets but the we had actually a full formation of twelve jets and therefore they could not stop them so i would advocate is the duck and they laid it to number of. leaders and infrastructure and flew back successfully without any damage yet it clearly two narratives out there as surrounding the entire incident the pakistani one and the indian mum but tell me how much pressure has mr maybe the prime minister of india been under in order to respond to what happened in india administered kashmir much more than forty security personnel but taken out by judge a mohammad how much pressure politically has he been on the to strike back. well martin i must say that you know this

is not only a retaliation or revenge for the pl lamarck pack that happened twelve days ago. believes that these was actually a preemptive one to prevent more attacks that were being planned by milan and most of those are the terrorist mastermind who's been sheltered by the pakistani military establishment who was the head of this gesture in the home with a local group i mean just in fact that is the core of course is the indian narrative isn't it but what i'm asking you specifically is how much pressure was mr modi in order to take some kind of action he needed politically didn't he given that were in the run up to an election he needed to be seen to strongly against pakistan. martin i would not believe these two elections you know this is an all that will mean consensus and you're to respond as far as mr modi goes he did surgical strikes by land in two thousand and sixteen when he had neuer lections on the horizon so i don't think it's fair to kind of get to elections and do so

already you know argonne national ism and you have this is the pakistani narrative they're trying to create a kind of a domestic you know chaos situation you know we have people are desperate for revenge i think it's more like a long term process of establishing new deterrence against a real threat that has caused lots of raw right to indian light ok records i think you'll get the answer you know c.d.'s of you know all actions of military diplomatic as well as economic to try and sort of this national security problem that pakistan has created by sponsoring go proxies against us for a long long long time and mr charlie how do you expect pakistan to respond because similarly the government and the minute trail pakistan will have a certain amount of pressure upon them in order to show their population that they will not be have their territory violated as they would sing it like this. well saddam it is about saving face because the pakistani military wants to short to be civilian population there and that they are the defenders against her you know

indian agent money that is the net if you don't build up to justify there in the military domination there so they will want to be seen to be tough but i must say that you know we have s. two hundred no russian surface to air on the same system to guard against any deal intervention by the pakistanis there are reports that we are short on funds and it brought so lately and more important i think conventionally bugs bunny is a much weaker country the only equalizer they have is mitt is nuclear weapons and i don't think they are going that far to canada for because of mutually assured destruction so what i fear is that people try to actually infiltrate our energy some of their terrorist sleeper cells within india and carry out some more jihad this type of attacks and then wash their hands of it and say we have nothing to do with this is an indian internal problem so i think that is the real menace as we look at the future because they have quite a few assets across their reading to us to come across so that's why i said that

this job was unfinished what not into more they did to date in the early i was also sure that we are slowly walking towards a long time to durance but we have to be really awful you know attacks like the mumbai a two thousand and eight attacks for example be as sponsored by pakistan and still a lot of our civilians in softer targets so i say how to protect our soft targets militarily and conventionally i don't think they have the capacity to harm us so they will be looking at these so hard non-state actors are proxies so look at can we in india to say ram chali i thank you very much indeed that method actor is a retired air marshal in the pakistani air force he says india needs to provide evidence of the u.s. strike. last time that we spoke we had discussed one option that the indians make such you go straight p.m.'s this time instead of on the ground they have to be there then it again clean their their european scheme and they won't be. so card

illiterate supporter jessie on my account. in fact i got a buddy of mine and i very rarely before first played scrabble so i was proud that my enforcers are big and then of course the oil channels that it please i don't mind it if you want to be in tandem rig said they're going to have said you go straight into this hearing if they're going to happen to have good people on the ground would be have not they have not given us any footage you know it produced word the electronic footage is a bit of a state of the moment you don't need that if they have a link you said it will even before do you know of the indian air force the indian military the indian government has not released any proof of this right let's move on to some other news now in the north korean leader kim jong un has arrived in vietnam ahead of a second summit with the u.s. president donald trump now both men are expected to hold two days of talks in

handling the capital came was greeted by a god of honor after crossing into the country by train president trump will arrive in the vietnamese capital later on tuesday the two is set to discuss the new can arise ation all of the korean peninsula let's go live now to our diplomatic editor james spays who is there in the vietnamese capital and james anticipation is high at the last summit which i know you covered how much expectation is there a sense that this one. well it is obviously very important because when they met in july last year very good relations president trump talked about falling in love with kim so a strong bond there in terms of their relationship in terms of the fundamental problem and north korea's nuclear program there wasn't a great breakthrough they agreed something quite basic which was north korea would stop its testing of missiles and nuclear testing and the u.s.

would stop its military exercises but that has left north korea with its nuclear program it's not really dismantled any of that so there are big tasks ahead i think that this summit is going to be framed as much of this diplomacy has been not just on the nuclear issue but on the wider issue of peace and korean unity i think from the american side president trump who lands here on air force one in seven hours no but what really matters to him in many ways and this is very much the way president trump views the world is how this will be seen in the u.s. right now this is seen as one of the few positives of the trumpet ministration one of the achievements in foreign policy for that matter one of the achievements in foreign or domestic policy he's turned the situation looked like one imminent

war into one that might not be a lasting peace but at least we've got the threat of imminent war removed so i suspect they'll be reluctant soon present trying to push the north koreans too hard because the fear there is that all the gains they've made so far could collapse so expect softly softly i think at this summit marty again today that diplomatic editor live in hanoi. now iran's foreign minister mohammed jeffard serif has quit and it's being suggested that fighting between parties and political factions in the country and iran may have been behind his decision a majority of iranian m.p.'s have sent a letter to the president has some rouhani urgings ari's continue in his job now there is played a central role in brokering the twenty fifty nuclear deal between iran and a number of well powers like how to reports now from the united nations. this was a moderate face of

a nation apparently seeking reconciliation with western powers mohamad job you'd serif 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 it 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 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 fish also 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 a 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 says a common heritage is there a president on the sun in the office hints as to his long delayed middle east peace plan. hello the stones blown across multiple across libya the remains of the cloud here suggest it's still around but it's all stormy as it was as in the other one still to come you see the clouds falling down in arcs through eastern europe is still relatively cold air is keeping the temperatures dad to run about three degrees in kiev at the coming of the black sea probably start to regenerate by the time we get to wednesday something recirculation you see just starting his still cold now from his snow in turkey and parts of roumania so that's a strengthening when we're going to watch that one doesn't look as bad as the last

a new round of sanctions on close allies of president maduro and urged regional partners to freeze the country's oil assets what brings us together today is the recognition by all the nations gathered here that nicolas maduro is a usurper with no legitimate claim to power and nicolas maduro must go the struggle in venezuela is between dictatorship and democracy between oppression and freedom between the suffering of millions of venezuelans. and the opportunity for a new future of freedom and prosperity now at least twenty five people were thought to have been killed in violent confrontations along venezuela's border with brazil over the weekend president my daughter's forces were trying to stop opposition supporters from bringing foreign aid into the country mohammed. has been to

a hospital and can exclusively with some of the survivor. says there is no uncertainty having survived the violence that erupted saturday in an area along venezuela's border with brazil he says it's clear to him the lethal force used by venezuelan security forces was deliberate. they came to militarily take this community they didn't arrive peacefully they were shooting to kill i can say that because i was shot another man help me he was also shot. videos like this one purport to show what happened in and around the venezuelan town of santa ana when security forces attempted to stop opposition supporters from bringing foreign aid into the country. while the number of dead has not been confirmed at least one official from the area now estimates it could be as high as twenty five among the wounded are members of indigenous groups dozens of those injured in the confrontations were transported across the border for treatment.

exclusive access to this hospital in the brazilian city of boa vista where many of the wounded corroborated the amateur footage alfredo perot's tells me he and his children who are also recovering in this hospital were guarding their indigenous community when security forces showed up but i mean you know at six am there arrived and then started shooting they started shooting everybody that was in front of them it was a massacre they start of the massacre. doctors say it wasn't simply the injuries these people sustained that were life threatening john on the premier jim they didn't receive appropriate first aid because of the lack of emergency medical supplies in venezuela after the first patient showed up here we sent some materials back with the venezuelan ambulances to help them treat patients better all around pain is apparent and shock is palpable many of the patients we're

speaking with her today say that even though things in venezuela have been bad for quite some time they never expected it would come to this. sixteen year old carlos headed i set out toward the border with brazil on saturday so he could help get aid into his country he says that's when the shooting began you know your face and. when i fell down there were two people dead next to me that took me to the hospital and the hospital was full of people there was no space to put the injured people there were several people dead in the hospital carlos is one day shy of turning seventeen his mother adriana is both worried for and proud of her boy she says she understands why he took the risk the whole innocent on the on the hunt for the youth are the ones who are looking for a better future there was democracy joining my childhood things that the children of today did not experience and that's what the youth of venezuela are looking for these days. demands that will no doubt be hard to achieve at

a time when threat may be growing but resolve is also deepening mohammed atta. in what i must state brazil. a cause in australia has convicted a top vatican cleric of child sexual abuse cardinal george pell was found guilty of molesting two choir boys at a melbourne cathedral in one thousand nine hundred six the pope's top financial advisor is the most senior roman catholic cleric to be convicted of child abuse the verdict was delivered in december but a gag order has only just been lifted a sentencing hearing is due to begin on wednesday and he faces up to fifty years in jail high level negotiations and afghanistan seventeen year war event of their second day here in qatar senior taliban leaders are holding talks with the u.s. special envoy for peace zalmay khalilzad afghan taliban co-founder and political

chief will abdul ghani baradar is leading the discussions and his presence is seen as a significant boost to peace efforts there the us president senior adviser jared has revealed more details about his peace plan for israel palestine and the middle east as a whole is currently on a tour of the region in an interview with sky news arabia kirshner said one of the main principles is to eliminate the borders as they are today he says that will guarantee freedom of movement for people and goods he says his plan will help the entire region not just israelis and palestinians he says jordan egypt and lebanon will benefit critics say the deal is less about building trust between the palestinians and israel's israel or more about uniting the region against iran all joe rubin is a former u.s. state department official and he says questions plan is unlikely to satisfy the palestinians. clearly israeli palestinian peace making has been

a longstanding american national security objective and that's why we've had successive presidents engaged in it but the framing today by mr kushner was. the bad actor in the region and therefore the arab states should support this and join with israel against iran and at the same time as you point out unilateral actions have been taken by the united states to marginalize palestinian long term demands so this doesn't look like. or something where the palestinians are going to be a very happy to be a part of it does look like it's a move by the united states to continue to push towards more conflicts potentially between the arab states and iran but the palestinians in the process there their needs may very well not get heard and that's very damaging for an actual solution.
