concrete results than his facts. hello i'm a star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up accusations from both sides as india and pakistan continue their clashes over the disputed kashmir region . and we speak with the families of venezuelan soldiers imprisoned for their opposition to the regime. while the lawyer who once said he'd take a bullet for donald trump has fired his own salvo at the u.s. president michael cohen who spent hours testifying before a congressional committee and the hearing wrapped up just a short time ago it was a day marked by heated pauses and ship even by washington standards we'll be live there in a moment but she has begins our coverage. as expected michael curran explicitly

links donald trump to his conviction for campaign finance violations the president of the united states thus wrote a personal check for the payment of hush money as part of the criminal scheme to file a campaign finance law in so doing could also alleged connection between the president some donald trump jr in connection with a criminal conspiracy to which he has pleaded guilty. to the president's current he's a racist he's a con man. and he's a cheat what was unexpected is kurt also discussed issues related to the russia investigation although he made clear he had no direct evidence of collusion first but the lobbyist roger stone had informed trump that wiki leaks a told him that they would release e-mails damaging to hillary clinton during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign mr trump responded by stating to the effect would that be great prosecutors allege russia supplied wiki leaks with those emails we could

leaks denies that and also says no conversation with stone took place but that it had publicly announced that publication was imminent either way trump has denied for knowledge karen also said he suspects trump knew that a trump tower meeting would take place with russian nationals about getting damaging information on clinton during the campaign and alleged the trump lied throughout the campaign about his attempts to build a trump tower in moscow and the president's lawyers signed off on false congressional testimony about those negotiations you need to know mr trump personal lawyers reviewed and edited my statement to congress about the timing of the moscow tower negotiations before i gave it to be clear mr trump knew of and directed the trump moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it he lied about it because he never expected to win and also made this tantalizing statement is there any other wrongdoing or illegal act that you are aware of

regarding donald trump that we haven't yet discussed today yes and again those are part of the investigation that's currently being looked at by the southern district of new york there are also allegations about tax fraud and for on the part of donald trump's charitable foundation this would have made uncomfortable viewing for the president if as was reported he was watching in vietnam even as a dog from denies all the allegations shabbat hansie al-jazeera washington. well the republican representatives in the cohen hearing mainly focused on what they consider his lack of credibility right in front of this committee you can't conflict your testimony sir europe at the lab the logical liar you don't know truth from from truth from falsehood sir are you frightened to present it is my time now for my answer with what i ask you a question you all asked for an answer. al-jazeera has more from washington d.c.

. it was hour after hour of striking testimony from the u.s. president donald trump's former personal attorney michael cohen one of the more alarming things came after the testimony was over we saw the chairman the democratic chairman of the committee come out and reporters asked him do you think the president of the united states committed a crime while in office and he said well after hearing the testimony i believe he did referring to the fact that michael cohen was able to produce a check from president trump that he said is reimbursement for paying off or not a few star who wanted to disclose the fact before the election that you had an affair with the president that is a crime the cohen is already pled guilty to the present the united states he admitted is an unindicted coconspirator with him in federal court in new york another thing that came out was the president's tax returns he's one of the only presidential candidates really for the last forty years who hasn't released his tax

returns michael cohen was asked about that he said the president told him he didn't want to release his tax returns because he was afraid then they would be investigated by think tanks and it could trigger an audit the problem for the president is he said all along he couldn't return it releases returns because he was already being audited so that calls that into question the bottom line this is just the beginning congress and played out the case why everyone close to the president needs to come before them in the near future be put under oath and say exactly what happened. pakistan's prime minister iran khan has called for talks with india after the nuclear power is shot down each other's fighter jets in the disputed kashmir region pakistan says it down to the indian jets and captured one of the pilots india came straight shot down one pakistani aircraft imran khan reports from islamabad. this indian fighter jet to crash is disputed between these two youths. but it was evidence that pakistan and india welcome for. to each other in the skies above the borders and it prompted this appeal from

missing in action. out. there he is in the. tension in this volatile region increased after a suicide bomb attack killed at least forty indian security personnel two weeks ago the pakistan based on group jaish e mohammad claimed responsibility on tuesday the indian air force carried out strikes close to the border of pakistan and pakistan administered kashmir india and pakistan governments have competing narratives about what's happening in the region analysts say the situation has the potential to escalate into full scale conflict i think that's needed by social media by television and by this need information. on site all the other and there is a lot of what you might call the nationalist flow that we see in any coffee

when there is any kind all right lashon security. space around indian administered kashmir has been shut down and pakistan has closed all its a space to commercial traffic there is a real atmosphere of fear in the disputed region all by kashmir many people particularly along the border are packing up their things and then leaving their houses because they are worried more will come by pakistan and india now have two real options military which is what you think over the last few days or diplomacy imran khan from about. the offense to mail tell us about developments from new delhi. india's office ition who until now has been standing shoulder to shoulder with the government came out with a joint statement criticizing the government's handling of the situation since the attack on february fourteenth that killed at least forty indian paramilitary soldiers the opposition said openly we're with the government to show

their discussions will be the sprawling young beyond nuclear complex experts say plutonium and highly enriched uranium are produced here essential materials for a nuclear weapon dismantling it could win concessions from the united states like an easing of sanctions but. the singapore summit was more symbolism than substance and ahead of these talks in hanoi president trump a sort to play down expectations of a significant breakthrough and even if kim were to agree to give up the nuclear weapons we know about it would still be a long and complicated process here with the uniform is like north korea vietnam a bitter war with the united states more than.
