north korea's kim jong il and in hanoi plus. one of the world's youngest orchestras celebrates a decade on stage. now pakistan says it shot down two indian fighter jets while they were in pakistani airspace they've arrested one indian pilot and another is apparently in the hospital receiving treatment but india says only one of its aircraft crashed and that was because of technical failure that pakistan has closed its airspace to all commercial traffic and it's also closed over indian administered kashmir now as tensions reach dangerous levels histones military insists it doesn't want
4:02 pm
a war with india. the government of pakistan the armed forces of pakistan and the people of pakistan we have all is conveyed a message of peace to india and the route to peace goes through dialogue both can do is have the capability and capacity but vald is actually the failure of policy which india needs to understand well india and pakistan have also been exchanging fire across the line of control india says five of its soldiers have been injured back it sounds police say six civilians have been killed by indian mortar shells in pakistani administered kashmir on tuesday india's military said it carried out air strikes close to the border of pakistan and pakistan administered kashmir in response to a suicide bomb attack that had killed at least forty indian soldiers on the
4:03 pm
fourteenth of february or it will speak to fez jamil our correspondent in new delhi in a little bit first of all though let's go to our correspondent in ranker and he's in the pakistan capital islamabad so the news then in around the practice on this close it says space to commercial flights is a serious escalation in terms of the the state of emergency that is being experienced by parts of the country. that's absolutely right the shutting down all the space to civilian traffic is serious but it's also standard operating procedure when tensions are they so to level now what we're hearing from the ministry of foreign affairs and the army are very strong statements when it comes to the downing of the indian aircraft now the army in the ministry of foreign affairs insists that two fighter jets were downed on one pilot has been arrested and two
4:04 pm
were killed in the last hour we've seen footage been released by the pakistani all the of the downed aircraft pictures of the captured pilot himself so the pakistanis are saying that we have this man in custody this did happen however the indians seem to be playing this down saying that the aircraft actually crushed and they're not giving as much information as the pakistanis now if you watch the pakistani media here this is being seen as a very serious ratcheting up of tensions a loss on pakistan down the pilot was nearly a decade ago so it's been a very long time since escalations have been the tensions have been at this sort of level where it goes from here is going to be key whether it becomes a diplomatic thing or whether it was it becomes a military thing remains the same all right jim ron thank you for that imran khan there our correspondent in is on about now in new delhi and has. understand that there are two competing narratives hand there is the one coming
4:05 pm
from the pakistanis and there is that coming from the indians what are the indian saying about it all. martine they're not saying much they're being very tight lipped and really not confirming anything the only confirmation we have is that air space has been shot over indeed administered kashmir but we are getting though is from locals on the ground and martine something we just learned in the last few minutes is that some of the major hospitals in srinagar there. going on the roof people the officials of the hospital and they're painting the red cross logo on the top of the groups there's a lot of fear that shows that there could be more attacks that could be even an airstrike so they're doing whatever they can to protect themselves even resorting to a measure like that as far as everything else coming out we're hearing locals on the ground telling us in retore in districts near the border with pakistan that they saw an aircraft drop bombs and later saw another unidentified aircraft crash now
4:06 pm
because no confirmation it's come from indian officials we don't know who's playing that was or who was on it or how many people were on it if it did happen the only confirmed we have from local officials is an air crash outside the capital srinagar where two charred bodies were found but again we're not sure if it was a jet fighter or a helicopter now as we heard from iran yes tensions have escalated in india was trying to avoid just very situation in their rhetoric after the indian air strikes on tuesday they said that they weren't targeting any pakistani military or civilians and this was a preemptive strike because armed groups are planning another suicide attack but as we've seen from today those efforts were in vain all right says jamil our correspondent in new delhi thank you very much indeed now we can speak to you day by. day come to our in the indian navy and directress this is a policy studies he's also joining us from the indian capital new delhi thank you
4:07 pm
for talking to us again this situation the scenario where witnessing right now has all the potential doesn't it to escalate into a full scale conflict. i'm afraid the short answer is yes because if we lose you know what happened over the last few hours and the kind of far well section that had been released from one site the other particularly true source in the media it has all the elements of going after the escalation ladder because there are reports of our aircraft being shot down and furthermore it appears that there are military preparations waiting on if source of media is to be believed which is a big question mark but i think the sharp point is yes there's still a sion on the cards and we have to see how the political management on both save political leadership is going to manage this particular situation do you think i
4:08 pm
don't do you think that there is room in this rather tense situation there is room for political miscalculation which could almost inadvertently tip the situation into all out conflict because both sides are saying that they don't want war you know i would say i did yes there is a possibility there could be our ground got in terms of sites see the situation but at the same time i would say what does that go to and this is literally what the last one up that bit our theory firm statements coming out i think from both sites so i just think that they do not want to escalate that both sides what go if you want to know what has happened till now and i think then to get on top of the story because if you are just remember what happened between yesterday and probably after the indian strike on balik or the first part is starting to sponsor us to reject it and said nothing happened then prime minister one concept of what
4:09 pm
a media would be like or so that the reality of the cloud will be a step. from better now we've had reports of our car having been shot dark so i think the statements that have just come out of the last line are we do not want. perhaps what states want or what are going on stories and then see whether or not it would be a window that is open for some kind of or political dialogue absolutely to gain in a situation like this of course there is a great deal of pressure isn't there domestic pressure on the each side on the leadership of each side and each side has to be seen to be acting in a firm and decisive way i mean how much pressure would you say is prime minister modi on we've obviously got to mention the fact that we're in the run up to elections which must add a particular dimension to this current scenario i would say that those considerable
4:10 pm
pressure on us and i'm just i'm already in india to all make the appropriate response after the well what about an overt act which the parties actually i don't got only their displeasure to my oh my i'm not going to say love who is a relative if you're glad. to call his mettle that he can't lead his country in a moment like this sort of this i think is being exacerbated by social media by television and by the speed with which information is being can wait. from one side all the other and there is a lot of what you might call the nationalist fervor that we see in any country where there is any kind of all our military except lashon security and that is where i think we need more of or political i would see a leadership and a certain degree by me if the liberty of ca and i was just into some kind of
4:11 pm
broader body of what is happening so that inadvertently what is being put out it doesn't matter it it is neither endorsed not in a god or so great taken forward so that existing asked this actions do not get further but then i am an analyst so i can see all this thank you very much are they talking to us live from the indian capital need telly thank you. the nigerian president has been reelected for a second four year term muhammadu buhari won fifty five percent of the vote in saturday's delayed election but the main opposition the the attic abu bakar who last is rejected the results and says that the presence of challengers in court from the capital of his our correspondent erin metasearch. president muhammadu buhari supporters are jubilant there's a picture ready at their party headquarters in a confirmation that has won four more years of power in nigeria africa's biggest

4:13 pm
parts of the country as a precaution. president biharis first next nigeria may no longer be in recession but unemployment and inflation are now in double digits and his efforts to fight corruption and improve security remain a work in progress his supporters know that but for now at least it's time to celebrate. their. and these ten people have been killed at kyra's central train station local media is reporting that a train collision at ramses station calls a fire many more people who are injured have been taken to nearby hospitals. now in the coming hours u.s. president and the north korean leader will meet in vietnam's capital hanoi for a second time well known trump has hailed vietnam as an example for north korea saying it can become an economic powerhouse if denuclearization talks go well from
4:14 pm
hanoi china correspondent adrian brown. the us president donald trump is used to the limelight. vietnam's leaders less so. but trump's summit with north korea's leader kim jong il has changed all that before his first meeting with kim on wednesday he met the host of this summit the country's prime minister and president on behalf of the united states i want to thank you very much for hosting and hopefully great things will happen later on with our meeting like north korea vietnam was once an enemy of the united states yet in spite of the history the relationship is now good with vietnam regarded as a strategic partner of the u.s. in asia. but it's trump's relationship with kim that's now the priority the hanoi summit to build on a historic meeting in singapore in june where they made of
4:15 pm
a commitment to rid the korean peninsula of some of the most powerful weapons created this time they need to agree a framework for how that'll happen vietnam was an acceptable choice to kim for this summit it's one of the few countries with the north korean embassy which came visited on tuesday night. and like china vietnam's achieve strong economic growth while preserving one party rule thriving like few places on earth according to trump who also tweeted that north korea's potential was also also there is both curiosity and excitement about the two leaders this city is now playing host to and i hope that a city once anonymous with war could perhaps become a symbol of something else i feel very happy because world leaders are coming to vietnam to talk about peace to see each other and to shake hands call i think this is a good opportunity for hanoi and it can help us in many ways i'm proud because i was
4:16 pm
born here and i think the fact that donald trump and khinjan are in hanoi shows it's a safe city i think it will change the way the world thinks about. at this temple worshipers burn incense which they consider to be a link between humans and heaven and now the city itself may become a bridge between two men who've in the past threatened nuclear war. adrian brown al jazeera hanoi while president is away his immigration policies are under attack at home a new report is detailing allegations of children being abused at immigration detention centers well have more on that story shortly from our correspondent patty culhane first say john hendren on a new setback for the president's mexico border wall. that yeas are two hundred forty five the nasal one eighty two using their newfound power house democrats leveled a direct rebuke at president trump table the house voted to reverse trump's declaration

4:18 pm
forty seven democrats vote together they would still need for republicans to join them to pass it they appear to have at least three republican senator susan collins lisa murkowski in thom tillis say they will vote to overturn trump's order if republicans in congress line up behind the president the message will be clear he can do what he wants if some republicans even a few say no that might at least you know provide some reason for him to be careful if the senate votes with the house the president would be forced to veto the measure as he's promised to do and congress is unlikely to muster the two thirds majority it needs to override him but there would be no mistaking when it comes to declaring an emergency on the border the president is largely going it alone. even if opponents of the president's emergency order fail with the white house and congress they could still succeed with the third branch of government the courts where they are already arguing that there is no emergency south of the border john

4:22 pm
a fifth term in office despite years of poor health care bryan reports police was demanding change and defying a ban on protests in the capital algeria's most of these young people have only known one president i see one year old abdelaziz bouteflika. he's rarely seen in public after stroke and twenty thirteen and his opponents question whether he's fit to lead the country the minute they stick up for such a month he had to demonstrate against the fifth we're fed up with it twenty years of high authority twenty years it's enough. students at the university of algae as well locked inside campus to stop the demonstration spilling onto the streets. but their anger already stretches beyond this fans with protests in the port town of an above and all around algeria seeking c.c. i think you are against the first term and against the system the

4:24 pm
confiscate money and goods if it suspected that emergency laws have been violated and they can restrict people's movements and activities opposition parties say it's an attempt to crack down on anyone who doesn't agree with bashir a lot of. the decrees that were issued stifle freedom whether it's the freedom of the average individual or political freedom that's why i think these are depressing orders that take away the freedom of the people and give the authorities complete freedom to do what they want complete freedom for the authorities is complete corruption so we're against the state of emergency that was declared under decrees that fall under of. the day after the decrease were announced protesters gathered to defy the ban anti-government demonstrations began in mid december prompted by rising costs of basic goods like bread but they quickly turned into demands for president bashir to end his thirty year rule and hand over power to an interim government demands he has rejected the government says thirty two people have been

continue despite the ban. i don't think we'll see the put a stop in sudan will be witnessing a new political scene not just in terms of the demonstrations put in his speech the president also called for dialogue and really top members of his party and replace them with military men all this opens the door for a new political scene in sudan whether the him of the decrease is to end the demonstrations because the economy that triggered them mr denise has already rejected them they say they'll continue to protest which will test how effective bashir a state of emergency will prove to be morgan al-jazeera hard to him. at least fifty people have been killed in the flooding in peru since the rainy season began in september heavy falls in northern and central coastal regions of triggered landslides and forecasts is blame the el nino phenomenal a warming of the pacific ocean which effects weather patterns worldwide. a
