pakistan administered kashmir. and after the sudden resignation of iran's foreign minister president rouhani holds back from accepting it. hello u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un ever arrived in vietnam capital hanoi had a two day summit wednesday as talks will address one of the world's biggest security concerns kim's pursuit of a nuclear program but it was first met last june in singapore a diplomatic editor james bays reports from hanoi. kim jong arriving in hanoi after a long journey by train from north korea all the way across china he's here for the latest stage of one of the most unusual diplomatic process is ever in two years

it's ranged from the threat of imminent war made in the un general assembly we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea to ten months later a face to face summit the first time the leaders of these two countries technically still at war had ever met and there was an instant bond. and then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great let us out we fell in love even a former state department official from the obama administration was impressed i have a dozen criticisms of the trumpet ministration foreign policy problems presidential impulsiveness to disrespect and misuse of dedicated public servants in the u.s. government on this particular issue i am willing to give president trump credit for

trying something new he's not correct when he says the plumber c. has never worked with north korea in fact it has produce positive results in the past but he is correct when he says it's never gotten us to the solution that we really want in the seven months since the singapore summit the diplomacy between the two sides has stalled they've now decided to get the two leaders back together to try and reenergize things. president donald trump is believed to assess foreign affairs by how it will be viewed domestically for now north korea is seen as one of his few policy successes turning the threat of imminent war into a fragile peace it's unlikely he'll want to jeopardize that by pressing the north koreans too hard in case the whole process collapses james bays out zero hanoi president charms former lawyer michael cohen is due to meet the u.s.

senate intelligence committee on tuesday arrived on capitol hill to give his evidence behind closed doors with his public testimony due to start on wednesday kerr is expected to tell lawmakers what he knows about trump's contact with russia in the lead up to the presidential election as well as revealing details about how money given to a former adult film actress known as stormy daniels she had her tanzi has more from washington. or getting a lot of leaks already now from those who claim to have seen michael cohen's testimony or claim to be close to michael cohen that he will document the quote lies racism and cheating of donald trump with a personal behind the scenes anecdotes of trump and his conduct how donald trump inflated his wealth his net worth in order to get onto the forbes richest list and deflated his wealth with all of the pay as little tax as possible and also how donald trump directed michael cohen who was his long time lawyer to make those

payments to the two women during the presidential campaign who had claimed to have an affair with donald trump the hush money payments which were in violation of campaign finance law according to the prosecutors and michael cohen himself. who prosecuted charles michael cohen in new york now we did already know all of this stuff donald trump was named by prosecutors in legal filings as individual one as the person who directed michael cohen to make those payments so i think in the end what we're going to get is much more i'm quite granular detail on donald trump's conduct and how he how he ran his business also michael cohen's own cooper about how he's now decides he can no longer give loyalty to donald trump but not much more than i mean but as far as specific bombshell information it doesn't look likely we're going to get that unless and that's where wrong so far i mean we do know that don't that he does have other information about how the trump organization works but a lot of this has been spelled out by various journalists over the years.

nigeria's ruling party says unofficial results show that president obama two bihari has won the election with a p.c. party confirmed that preparing to celebrate victory with votes counted across half the country leads by two million and has enough to avoid a runoff under election rules the main opposition party has accused the ruling party of trying to rig the polls and demanded the cancellation of results in four states. what's the latest on the results jenna. there are still ten states to defeat that have to have their results officially declared in the building behind me here by the independent electoral commission among them some extremely important decisive really results from the northwest of

the country president biharis heartland late this afternoon those results were declared at state level publicly but on officially and it was those numbers that people were able to look at and say right well. has no way of making up the differences so at this point it does very much seem as if mr carter former vice president a big businessman promising investment in jobs in this country has lost and the biggest exercise in democracy on the african continent ever has an unofficial. president mohamed to bihari his monocle. with final state results still being announced the arithmetic across africa's largest democracy told its own story. and supporters of president mohamed quick to celebrate. the points way it's actually.

the. elections because if you look at states destroying. the strongest places were brought in these votes. in terms of numbers because. it's just like not east they have a very huge margin. so are you willing at this point to call this election. i mean yes. because this. is going to so much of. why did you want but i don't do it because i did. you know what. you had. when outside the ruling party headquarters here in aberdeen it's clear a.p.c. supporters know their candidate has won or lost or they call it in for more years

a president. but it is likely victory will not go unchallenged. the people's democratic party of. has called the results in correct and unacceptable and edging state use of intimidation tactics and inducements to buy votes chartres the a.p.c. rejects. president bush has achieved mixed results in his first term dragging the country out of recession but seeing unemployment and inflation soar into double digits critics say his battle against corruption has been one sided and security remains a major problem this election may yet prove controversial but president bush appears to have won four more years to try and put things right. and you know what are the opposition saying. well there's

a statement. calling for the cancellation of results in four states and his party has independent electoral commission to halt the announcement of results possibly on the basis of the challenges made on monday also suggestions of high numbers of cancellation of votes in certain states that they seemed to be unhappy with we don't know the outcome of this appeal nor indeed whether the p.d.p. intends to take it to the courts what is possible now i suppose is that this election result could be stalled in the courts for a long period of time what is more. concerning than that though is that it descends into the court of public opinion where tempers as you can probably imagine are high because of everything that led up to this election and the publicized issues on election day both sides declaring victory on social media before the count even began tempers are high and could easily be inflamed. thank you very much indeed.

india has. close to the border of pakistan and pakistan administered kashmir it's india's first minute she actually gets pakistan since they accused the neighbor of being behind an attack that killed fourteen members of the security forces in india in restive kashmir two weeks ago but there's been a conflict that being compared to reports about the impact of india strikes is in new delhi with. these pictures released by the pakistani military show the damage it says was done by the indian air force near the town of balakot inside pakistan on a hillside in a forced did uninhabited area a spokesman said there were no casualties but india says the airstrike hit a training camp of jaish e mohammad the armed group that claimed responsibility for this month's suicide bombing that killed forty indian troops in india to minister to schmear. indian officials say they chose to attack after pakistan failed to take action. has no

concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil. was deceived that the gesture of moment was attempting other suicide at attacks in various parts of the country india has not provided any proof it hit its intended targets analysts say the reason for that may partly be not to further antagonize baucus don but on the streets of new delhi use of the strike was welcome. india has given a perfect reply to pakistan and the supply was a much needed one. and vs countrymen are extremely happy and we want to tank in the forces. it won finished istead it isn't but to give them an answer if they keep it to be able to finish them. but the government is trying to keep the situation because indian officials are calling the air strike preemptive because their intelligence showed jaish e mohammad was planning another suicide attack there also describing it as

nonmilitary because no pakistani military was targeted their explanation is being seen as a way to deescalate tensions between the countries but since then there have been raids and clashes in indian administered kashmir. indian security forces conducted morning raids against separatist leaders in srinagar imposing a curfew on the city and shutting off the internet. but a number of protesters defied the curfew and clashed with security forces. people living here say they've been on edge since the suicide bombing the deployment of ten thousand paramilitary troops at the weekend sparked rumors a major incident was going to take place and locals tell us they feel caught in the middle. of what will happen. to the both of the countries and all the neighboring countries to do shooters on a discussion with issue to the rebels but resolution seems a long way off baucus on asserts its right to retaliate in india put its forces on

the border on high alert that leaves the people of indeed and minister to me or fearing that whatever happens they will be caught in the middle as al jazeera you doug. ghada has more on the escalating tension was at her about the capital of pakistan and missed it kashmir india after mad dog and indian tag inside buggers the need get it anyway it's buggers don said did not kill anybody on the ground and that the indians had to drop the payload after day challenge by bugger tiny interceptors the indians of course saying that they have killed hundred of paper that the military spokesman on the other hand saying that their dad was true there would be feeling ordered by the court as a populated area and people would come out and body their dead if they're dead indians had already tried to spring a surprise and he said earlier that he did not expect the indians to get away with

that separate saying that buggers down right now bring that sobriety of its own the bugger to any prime minister had already called a national security committee of the cabinet he's made the military leadership and also all of the people of pakistan should be ready for any eventuality the buggers on the foreign minister also ahead a million he meeting and forming their own roy who would then islamabad boggo what had happened buggers down rubbishing their claim and ignored the buggers any foreign minister had to say i don't dr sancha should ask if there is aggression against pakistan we have the right to defend our country this equation is unfolding at a political level at diplomatic level and at the military level that kristen is planning and pakistan will respond. still to come on al-jazeera. i know members across the house are genuinely wanted it's that time is running out and if i am british m.p.'s are very tone delaying bret's it or leaving the e.u. without a deal. and why u.s.

is nothing to indicate otherwise we've heard from various officials both within the president's office as well as the foreign ministry saying that this resignation is not acceptable the president has not accepted this attempt by the foreign minister to leave his position and that the instagram post is not an official way for a minister to ask the government to leave office so of course has any has not accepted this as an official resignation attempt by the foreign minister and of course this is not the first time we're hearing that the foreign minister has tried to leave his job he said that in the past he's come under very very heavy criticism as you mentioned about the nuclear agreement iran signed with the p five plus one in two thousand and fifteen a lot of the conservative voices in the islamic republic were very much opposed to this agreement saying that iran did not get everything you could have and that somehow zarif and the rouhani government were

tricked into signing this agreement that is not the best deal for iran but of course the foreign minister being adamant that he did the best that he could and this deal was better than no with the deal at all under the circumstances that they were working in terms what the political tensions which triggered resignation alpha . well there was a surprise visit by syrian president bashar assad to tehran on late sunday and into monday where he met the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini as well as very high ranking officials including the head of the holds force of the revolutionary guard awesome soleimani as well as president hassan rouhani now what's interesting is we see this meeting in pictures of this meeting where the foreign minister is not present now we've spoken to sources within the foreign ministry who say that. was deliberately left out and not invited to meet the syrian president in tehran this

is the first time bashar assad has come to tehran since the civil war broke out in syria and of course the foreign minister has been at the forefront of trying to negotiate some kind of a peace agreement which mean all the parties involved in syria has been very very active in going to all the meetings and negotiations so for him to be left out of this very high profile and historic visit was something that we believe left a very bad taste in his mouth and he said that it was some have said close to him that it was a very bitter it left a very bitter taste in his mouth the whole way that he was treated around this meeting. thank you very much. britain's prime minister has outlined how the u.k. can avoid leaving the e.u. without a deal or delay brix it at resumes announce that parliament will have a second vote on her current withdrawal due by march the twelfth or additions reject to the agreement by a massive margin in january if they be to it again then parliament will get the

opportunity to vote on whether the u.k. should depart with no agreement if it is side against no deal then a vote will be held by march the fourteenth asking the e.u. to delay the march twenty ninth departure date largely has the history outside parliament in london. three's a may was ramadhan parliament that she had promised m.p.'s no fewer than one hundred and eight times over the course of the last few months that the u.k. would be leaving the european union on march twenty ninth and so you can imagine the fury from those who do want to leave on that date when she's now acknowledged that there is so much concern about the u.k. leaving without any sort of trade deal or plan an economic catastrophe that people fear that that would lead to that she's not offering the chance to extend equally her opponents even sure that she's going to be true to her word because she keeps going back on her promises and has done over and over again but if you assume for

a second that she is true to what then the logic almost certainly now will be that on march the twelfth m.p.'s will yet again vote down her plan on march the thirteenth they will vote down no deal because there's so little appetite for that and amongst the fourteenth they will vote for an extension potentially for a couple of months and no more than that to give her that amount of time to try to come to an arrangement but the big question is what happens after that because of that period if there's no arrangements then as the prime minster pointed out no deal will still happen and the only alternative to that is revoking article fifty and not leaving the european union at all unless the your opinion grants yet another extension and so that's that many m.p.'s to accuse or they say she's running out of road and they're now saying she's trying to build more roads all the time and it's very very uncertain still what's going to happen but the chance i think they have an extension is almost inevitable. thousands of students in algeria
