12:07 pm
islamabad thank you very much for joining us how would you characterize this moment is this a moment a very dangerous precarious moment where india should be prepared for. pakistan to respond on the conventional all through a proxy group which of course is what india and pakistan are doing on a regular basis or is this a moment in which pakistan is going to take the high ground if you like and realize that india hasn't really contravened to any particular territorial sovereignty and will prevail. well this is a billion park and christian india has the pakistan solar energy and the indian aircrafts they have intruded and pakistan. means their india is. getting on. it too to do which is very belligerent and of course. is the
12:08 pm
beast arkell in the of the both countries but also of the entire region so it should be. india has to give the. actually rights to the people that is grassroots wireless and all of the human rights and yes. especially off the not ok of the board all right i don't think we can we can really go into the wider issue of kashmir is a disputed territory but on this particular instance what do you think pakistan is going to do. well pakistan women can adds deterrence and pakistan can respond of course box on his drive to. solve all the problems diplomatically and. boxed on his old saw for the international community and the. bar to do all that was also a period by pakistan to international community so in this way for diplomatic
12:09 pm
solution is not possible of course pakistan his the. foreign really because the why listen of is stared that is of course a crime internationally according to international law and the prime minister of pakistan here said there it is on will our poorly thing to respond on will respond so it means there is any such kind of misadventure from the end there to write acceptable. but better cholesterol but according to the pakistani military the pakistani authorities no damage was done the pakistani air force responded in a timely manner chased off the indian fighter jets they had to drop their payload causing no damage whatsoever so really and truly how much is there for pakistan to respond to. yes pakistan awareness point there was
12:10 pm
a more such kind of image in. you on the engine aircraft they have just dropped the pier lord so of all that they are claiming and they are probably getting falsely they're. terrorists they were targeted toward the you when their commanders what for get there but this is the force propaganda and the pox on air force you to timely and imagery responded in the pre-dawn time so in this way a pox on air force is really pox on military is a ready and such kind of miss ed winter of course it will affect the peace of the region and pakistan will respond quickly and timely manner afridi thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from islamabad thanking well we've also been speaking to his a retired commodore in the indian navy he's also director of the society for policy studies he says the situation is likely to escalate well i think it grows
12:11 pm
a shows what has back there in any response because iran also went on record and is cocky to say that in the event i mean any military action there would be a response from. so i think gain yet planners in their metrics weariest exigency as they call it there is a don't believe that there would. be a bitch and stand 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 that because party star has nuclear weapons they would not. we under any kind or shall we say anxiety and india will not take any military step i think that particular population is interested in what we are seeing today there yes india has
12:12 pm
demonstrators are in domes of using your art and now that was an artist and score as to what they propose to do so this is i think in twenty ninety a very interesting study of testing nuclear deterrence if you will read or not it will. proceed in the manner that most explorers believe that it work so i think this has got other dimensions high level negotiations to end afghanistan the seventeen year war event at their second day hearing cata senior taliban leaders are holding talks with the u.s. special envoy zalmay khalilzad afghan taliban co-founder and political chief mourner abdul ghani baradar is leading the discussions and his presence is widely seen as being a big boost to peace efforts. north korean leader kim jong un has arrived in vietnam ahead of a second summit with the u.s. president donald trump expected to hold two days of talks in hanoi earlier kim was
12:13 pm
greeted by a guard of honor after crossing into the country by train president trump will arrive in the vietnamese capital later on tuesday to are set to discuss among other things the denuclearization of the korean peninsula here's our diplomatic editor james. 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
12:14 pm
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 scene so i think
12:15 pm
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 iran's foreign minister mohammed jeffords the reef has quit and some are saying it's infighting between palaces and political factions that may have been behind his decision a majority of a rainy and m.p.'s have now sent a letter to the president has some rouhani urging that zarif stay in the job he played a central role in brokering the twenty fifteen nuclear deal between iran and a number of world powers our correspondent mike hanna reports now from the united nations 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
12:16 pm
with the west a 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
12:17 pm
zarif 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 deficiencies 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 still to come here at al-jazeera we'll be live in barcelona with more on what tech in the future might look like and the chinese telecom giant while ways roll in it.

12:19 pm

12:20 pm
to. the stories we don't often hear told by the people who lived mothers of rain could be this is europe on al-jazeera. take a look at the top stories here it out there india says its military is carried out as strikes close to the border of pakistan and pakistani administered kashmir it says the target was unarmed group behind a suicide attack in india and when this in kashmir earlier this month about islamabad denies there were any casualties or damage done in d.n.a. strikes china meanwhile is aging the two new clear nations to exercise restraint
12:21 pm
after these attacks. the north korean leader kim jong un has arrived in vietnam's capital ahead of a second summit with president kim was greeted by a guard of honor after crossing into the country by train. and there were all those foreign minister mohammad zarif has announced he's stepping down his sudden departure throw his further doubt on the future of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal which the u.s. pulled out of last year. jabari is a correspondent and she's covered iran extensively she's here with me now why now. that is the question of the day martin we've heard from various sources within the foreign ministry that the former foreign minister was very unhappy because he wasn't invited to this meeting that was held last night between syrian president and the supreme leader now in those pictures we see bashar al assad meeting
12:22 pm
harmony with the president hassan rouhani as well as the head of the thoughts force awesome soleimani had clearly been very muslim out yeah he wasn't invited there is indications from within people from within the foreign ministry saying he didn't even know this was happening and he wasn't invited and also we know that he's been trying to resign for a while he's been unhappy for a while but he chose a very visual platform to announce his resignation and that is instagram and usually these kinds of resignations go through more of official channels and letter submitted to the presidency and then the supreme leader accepts it or not so it's very interesting a very surprising move and it was only last week wasn't it when he was at the munich conference that he was railing visibly angry at the u.s. policy of maximum pressure against iran and he accused the americans of out she's seeking regime change yes absolutely he was defending iran's ballistic missile
12:23 pm
program and within the framework of the nuclear agreement saying that the country's defense program is not up for negotiation and that the united states policy on iran is unacceptable and they're very open about the fact that they want regime change that is something the iranians will not stand for so what does this mean in terms of the balance of power in terms of the khalid line isn't the reformists and the other says of influence in a radian politics well i think what this does is it actually makes the president and his government much more vulnerable to the conservative voice in the country we've heard from members of parliament who want the president to. we impeached the cabinet has said that they are not happy with the way rouhani has handled the economic crisis in the country and this move this surprising by zarif to resign at this precise moment puts the rouhani in a much more weaker position within his own government and it must be said before we finish of course that we haven't heard any confirmation that the supreme leader or
12:24 pm
indeed the president have accepted his resignation no absolutely not we have not heard anything yet president rouhani was speaking a short short while ago and didn't mention whether or not he has accepted this resignation. jabari thank you very much indeed now the un security council is due to hold an open meeting on venezuela later on tuesday at the request of the united states on monday venezuela denounce the regional bloc known as the lima group and accuse it of waging a campaign to oust president. the forty member bloc had been holding talks in colombia with the u.s. vice president mike pence he announced a new round of sanctions on close allies of president maduro and urged regional partners to freeze the country's oil assets well at least twenty five people were believed to have been killed in confrontations along venezuela's borders with brazil over the weekend president my daughter's forces were trying to stop

12:30 pm
provider of five g. infrastructure and that is the is the connectivity that will replace four g. meaning that we'll be able to download feature films on our phone in just just one second and it will mean that all of these smart devices will be able to talk to each other much quickly it is the future if that's what they're saying here i've just come from a panel where weiwei was introduced as the most contentious company in the world right now described as a political football between the u.s. and china and the chairman the rotating chairman wapping took to the stage and address those concerns head on because they are on everyone's minds he said quote the u.s. security accusations have no evidence while we has not and never will plant back doors in our equipment and that statement was really welcomed them over while congress they see this is a political issue not a technological one the telecoms analysts i've spoken to have also not seen any
12:31 pm
evidence of the accusations that the u.s. has made that somehow within that coding huawei is pushing back door was into their equipment it's very confusing to understand where the u.s. stands on this now they reportedly sent an eight man strong. legation to the difficult rest put pressure on european countries to abandon huawei and european countries who've already rolled out and spent millions on that infrastructure a really reluctant to do charlie angela live in barcelona thank you very much. time does it take a look at the top stories here it is there india says its military is 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 in the month but islam about denies there were any casualties or damage done by the indian air strikes
