islam about denies have any casualties or damage done by the strikes the indian government says the fighters were being trained to carry out another attack. in the face of imminent 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 gesture moment in balakot in this operation a very large number of jeshua mamak terrorists trainers senior commanders and groups of jihad these who being trained for free day in 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 and in addition the indian government is carrying out raids on the houses of various it calls

separatist leaders in srinagar the capital of indian administered kashmir a curfew has been imposed in cities across this disputed region we'll go live now to the indian capital new delhi our correspondent there is fares jamail says this is an issue that must be gripping the entire nation today. martine it is that that we're speedball on the streets they're waving indian flags they're yelling j. hand they're saying that this was something that they've been waiting for ever since a suicide bombing on february fourteenth that killed indian paramilitary troops and india had been warning pakistan for a while since the attacks to take some action take action against these armed groups that operate in india in pakistan's territory now pakistan had been asking for proof some type of hard evidence that they could take action on india's response has always been that the fact that these groups operate in box sign

territory and openly claim responsibility for attacks and threaten india's territory and soldiers was proof enough now in the india's foreign secretary who we just heard from he emphasized two main points one that this was a preemptive attack because they believe the group jaish e mohammed behind february fourteenth attack was going to attack again the other though was that they were calling this a non military strike they're saying that only the armed group jaish e mohammed was targeted but not the pakistani military not pakistani civilians and not baucus on infrastructure they want to emphasize that this was not against the country but we'll have to see what baucus son's reaction is to that but india has been telling warning pakistan that they need to take action or else india would and ever since september of two thousand and sixteen india. had what they're calling a surgical strike against armed groups in pakistani territory and that really set the benchmark of what the indian public expected next time there was

a big attack which happened on february fourteenth so these attacks these air strikes on tuesday were seen a long time coming all right fans jamail live in new delhi thanking. for the pakistani foreign minister has also released a statement shar mood could actually says pakistan reserves the reasonable right to respond and the right to self defense is kemal hyder our correspondent with more reaction from pakistan. the bugs on the military spokesman major general of world food is going to be organizing a press conference within the next few hours on the foreign minister had already said that the nation should not be. ready to respond to any indian method. also important to note. that did india did intrude

into. and they were done for students. were scrambled to intercept them bogert on thing there were no casualties on the ground and this particular incident took place near court. august on is going to be showing that within the next twenty four hours to prove its point that there was indeed nor dagger against any. military dog or training on the ground it is going to be important to see how their two countries react given the fact that it's taking the indians very very seriously and. for. the high level negotiations to end afghanistan's seventeen seventeen year war have ended their second day here in doha in qatar a senior taliban leaders are holding talks with the u.s. special envoy zalmay khalilzad afghan taliban co-founder and political chief.

is leading the discussions and his presence is being seen as a significant boost to the overall success at these talks let's go live now to our correspondent stephanie jacka who's covering this whole series of talks for us and stephanie there's very little information available as to how the talks a fall have proceeded and how much more they have to go tell us what. that's right everyone seems to be quite tight lipped so we can't even confirm whether they've started today or not but we know from a series of tweets from the american envoy and also a statement from the taliban that there was introductory meetings yesterday a working lunch and today those talks will be starting in earnest we don't know where they're taking place the taking place somewhere here in doha but it highlights just the sort of the way they're trying to keep this confidential there are such difficult issues on the table martine this is the product of months long

of negotiations yes you mentioned a more senior presence here mullah but of that he is one of the founders of the taliban released from prison in pakistan just recently he's seen as someone that the americans and the afghan government want to be involved now they teach this cost what nationwide cease fire they need to discuss the withdrawal the timetable of the withdrawal of u.s. troops around fourteen thousand of those left in the country they need to discuss the fact that the taliban needs to speak to the of government something they've refused to do so far and last but not least how can the taliban ensure that groups like isis which are gaining ground and al qaida don't use the country as further staging attacks so everyone we've spoken to does give a sense of optimism that the talks of come this far but i think we have to take a step back wait and see what is achieved and then see of what is achieved here in doha can be implemented and sustained on the ground and is there a sense that anything of any substance can be achieved without the taliban talking

directly to the afghan government. well i mean this is the criticism you have the afghan president gone a very concerned about the u.s. pullout and that way they're seeing the taliban says that this government is a puppet of the americans which is why they're saying they'd prefer to negotiate with the americans directly but of course when it comes to afghanistan you have a forty year conflict you have a fractured country when it comes to politics tribes ethnicities everyone really needs to be brought into the fold here of anything is going to be sustained there is a lawyer jirga planned for march and we know that the afghan government has invited the taliban to that that's more of an informal meeting if you will it's traditional meeting of elders government officials civil society we don't know whether the taliban is going to agree to that i think we're going to have to wait and see what we get out of these talks here whether there is a timetable whether anything concrete gets achieved and even in the words of the u.s. envoy after the january talks or he said you cannot solve

a forty year conflict by one meeting even if it last around a week so they are difficult but it does seem that serious negotiations are underway and people thinking that something may actually just come out of it this time stephanie jacka live in doha thank you. now the north korean leader kim jong il nears arrived in vietnam ahead of a second summit with the u.s. president donald trump now the two men are expected to hold two days of talks in hanoi earlier kim was greeted by a guard of honor after crossing into the country by train president trump will arrive in the vietnamese capital later on tuesday the two are set to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula and diplomatic editor james bass has been following that visit in hanoi. well i think they're going to try and build on what was achieved in july last year in singapore because certainly what you got was

a lowering of tension you got a good relationship or the foundation of a good relationship built between the two leaders these are two leaders who seem to like each other's come company president trump has talked about forming in love with kim clearly there was a bond formed there but it's goes beyond personal relations there is a longstanding problem to resolve here and it's about north korea's nuclear program i think the u.s. has decided to deal with this a very different way they are dealing with it and the top down way for the first time and i think they're trying to deal with it in a bigger way than just the nuclear program that's been very much lead i think by south korea with its the plough mysie with north korea talking about the unity of the two koreas a wider piece for the two koreas and in that wider framework they're now talking about this nuclear issue but certainly i think it's a much slower process that is being being suggested by the u.s.

side because for president trump he judges all these things on how they will help him back home in terms of domestic politics and domestically right now he can declare a win this was a situation that was. very close to open warfare with a nuclear power all of that threats has disappeared from the sea so i think president trump will want this process to continue but it's not particularly keen on putting too much pressure on north korea because there is the threat of course of this all collapsing now iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif has quit and it's been infighting between palaces and political factions that may have been behind his decision a majority of iranian m.p.'s have now sent a letter to the president hassan rouhani urging the reef continue in the job and he played a central role in brokering the twenty fifteen nuclear deal between iran and

a number of well mike hanna reports from the u.n. in new york. this was a moderate face of a nation apparently seeking reconciliation with western powers mohamad job you'd serif was educated in the u.s. 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 thanked the generosity of the dia and courageous people of iran and respected the fischel so 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 he'll accept his foreign minister's resignation mike hanna al-jazeera. still to come here down to zero a top vatican cleric is convicted of molesting two choir boys and could face fifty years in prison. it has been incredibly warm for some of us in europe recently so in the northwest we've had the warmest weather and this is what it's like in london at the moment you can see the nature of things it's bring but actually it's the middle of winter should be very cold but instead we got up to twenty point six degrees and in parts of the u.k. and that's

a new record certainly was very will pay you can see the unsettled weather just toppling over the eastern parts of europe at the moment and for the northwest is going to stay very warm during the day today as well in fact some places in the u.k. could see the temperatures top at around twenty one degrees which will be a new record for the south as also plenty of warm weather over many western parts of europe in the east it's also mild just not quite as models and not quite as sunny either warsaw getting to around nine degrees that unsettled weather that stormy weather we had for the south well that is now beginning to pull away certainly brought us an awful lot of hail lots of thunder and lightning and a lot of very heavy rain the worst of that was over creates in the last twenty four hours here we had one hundred thirty three millimeters of rain the system as you can see is moving its way eastwards now and it's taking those incredibly strong winds with it so parts of syria and turkey will be busted today elsewhere just a handful of showers along that northern coast. sponsor.

online. with the answer for them. to join us on sat all of us have been calling. this is a dialogue we are talking about. you have seen what it can do to people using multiple drugs. and some people. everyone has a voice. or twitter and you could be on the street and join the global conversation . let's have a look at the top stories here at auschwitz their. militaries carried out air

strikes close to the border of pakistan and pakistani administered kashmir it says the target was an armed group behind a suicide attack in indian administered kashmir earlier this month bought islamabad denies there were any casualties or any damage done by the in d.n.a. strikes north korean leader kim jong il vietnam's capital ahead of a second summit with the us president donald trump kim was greeted by a guard of honor after crossing into the country by train. and iran's foreign minister mohammed jabbered serif is announce he's stepping down his sudden departure theories further doubt on the future of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal with the u.s. called out of last year or this go back to our main story there not of the increased tensions between india and pakistan after those indian air strikes in pakistani territory we can speak to more peers who is a political analyst who's joining us live from the pakistan capital islamabad thank you very much indeed for talking to us now pakistan and india experience minor

exchanges of artillery and other light fire directly on a regular basis therefore how much of an escalation is this knowledge meant to the incursions into pakistani airspace by indian warplanes. martin that's definitely an escalation it was very widely expected it looks like a really smart political move on the part of the indian prime minister they have benefited him to five years on the street approximately for ten minutes they have entered from most to from bob in pakistani controlled kashmir and while returning back they have dropped bombs and that paled on a hilltop on a remote him called in the pakistani province of post to heart the place is called balakot however all the police reports from the area which we are receiving the reporters of the local people point out that it was an empty hilltop and the claims

of having striking any kind of base camp or any training camp seem to be not accurate at all so it's a political move that i'm puzzled the indian prime minister not in the movie the opposition in india is very defensive for pakistan and some by the sink the indian planes inside this that are pretty for most ten minutes and the air defense system does not react to damage looks like a self-contained action i don't have any it's going to be any follow up on this ok so you don't think then that a man can and his new government and the pakistani military are going to feel pressure to responding kind if not on a on a a similar an equivalent level if not even harder. no you are just a definitely the prime minister and wrong can't have said that if india did something we retaliated with indians who moved in such a smart question if the news had to react they have to react with windows nine in

ten minutes while the indian planes would be focused on the space now in what kind can pakistan respond to this kind of action that falls below the threshold indians have not really damaged any material human life on the pakistani side of the claims of hitting a base camp or to create ridiculous i mean we have been checking this with the last several hours there is no substance to being any site being hit they have not attacked any in school and any physical structure any human population i mean everything all right at the heart of this of course is the accusation from india that pakistan office sanctuary and harbors the the groups the in particular the group that carried out the attack on its forces in india that the menace of kashmir just a week or so ago how how much is the pakistani instead of the institutions offering to groups like this. well the indian claims a very long standing it's true that in one thousand nine hundred ninety s. before the two thousand and three cs fire the pakistani groups were garbage they

were used to cross the line of control but very objective understanding we have is this that after two thousand and three such incursions became really rare and to stop it india has a very electronically fenced the border on the way so possibility if it goes on from the pakistani side is very difficult and hard to believe and what happened on fourteenth of february in the attack that happened deep inside the indian territory on the third leg a certain a good german highway a three hundred kilogram two hundred fifty kilograms r.d.x. was actually used it is not possible for a pakistani group to assemble this kind of party x. it was a local midi and the group that claimed responsibility is based inside the indian controlled kashmir so it looks like a very deep indian political situation where the indian prime minister member the movie is physical actions an eprom of the sia he was weak in the hindi northern belt these actions and all strengthening him i mean he it is this of this action

will make him very popular for pakistan that some better spent but for india it's a domestic politics right ok my aid clip is very much indeed for talking to us live from islamabad nowaday bashar is a retired commodore in the indian army and director of the society for policy studies now he says the situation is likely to escalate. well i think they brought seychelles what has back there in a response because they're iran also went on record and is currently. in the event of i mean you know military action that would be a response from parties so i think in your planners in their metrics weariest exigencies as they call it there is a template there would. be a better chance that all elements of the indian military because i think this can lead to a certain escalation depending on how to start response this is also going to test a certain formulation that has been long there because bar to start has nuclear

weapons they would not be under any kind or. anxiety and that india would not take any military step i think that particular formulation is interested in what we are seeing today that yes india has demonstrators are in dozens of using air power and now that was an artist or as to what they proposed to do so this is i think in twenty nineteen well really interesting study of testing nuclear deterrence if you will and read or not it will . proceed in the manner that most experts believe that it work so i think this has got other dimension the u.n. security council issued out an open meeting on venezuela later on tuesday at the request of the united states on monday venezuela denounce the regional bar bloc

known as the lima group and accused it of waging a campaign to oust president nicolas maduro the forty member bloc had been holding talks in colombia along with the u.s. vice president mike pence he announced a new round of sanctions on close allies of president the daughter and urge regional partners to freeze the country's oil assets. at least twenty five people have believed to have been killed in confrontations along venezuela's border with brazil the daughters forces were trying to stop opposition supporters from bringing in foreign aid jan jan has spoken exclusively to some of the survivors. alexa's 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. but exclusive access to this hospital in the brazilian city of bo of easter 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 journey on the premier jim wants 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 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 on the base 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 in a hole and on the final how difficult the youth are the ones who are looking for a better future there was democracy jaring my childhood things that the children of today did not experience and that's what the youth of venezuela 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 course 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 a sentencing hearing is due to begin on wednesday he faces up to fifty years in jail andrew thomas has more from sydney. total george pell has become the most senior catholic anywhere in the world to be convicted of child sexual abuse he was most recently a confidant of the pope of the vatican but before that he was archbishop of here in sydney and in melbourne and it was in melbourne in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. and archbishop that he's now been convicted of sexually assaulting two teenage boys in a back room of the cathedral after mass one sunday now the conviction was actually handed down in december but because he was also accused of separate cases of sexual assault but dated to the one nine hundred seventy s. and a separate trial was to be held for that later this year a judge ordered a suppression order but nothing could be reported of that first trial including the verdicts until the second trial had concluded the deal was that jurors in that

second trial might be influenced if they heard elements of the first trial including the verdict in that first trial so nothing could be reported of it well on choose day prosecutors in melbourne decided to drop the charges in that second trial there will be no second trial and that's why we can now report the verdict of the first double george pell has said that he will appeal but the judge has made it very clear that next week when he hands down sentencing. will go to jail. time for to take a look at the top stories hear it out of his era india says its military has carried out air strikes close to the border of pakistan and pakistani administered kashmir it says the target was an armed group behind a suicide attack in indian administered kashmir earlier this month but islam about denies ever any casualties or damage done by the indian and strikes
