watching al-jazeera let's take a look at the top stories right now both grey's leader says he is ready to give up his nuclear weapons speaking on the second day of a summit with the u.s. president donald trump said he wouldn't be at the meeting and last he was willing i'll trump former lawyer has told a congressional hearing he believes the u.s. president is racist a con man and a cheat made several accusations against the president including that he personally ordered hush money payments are public and say cohen's testimony lacked credibility . pakistan's prime minister iran kaunas call for talks with endy after the nuclear power shot down each other's fighter jets in the disputed kashmir region as ahmed says it down to indian jets and captured one of its pilots and to claim to have shot down one pakistani aircraft tensions between the nuclear powers has escalated

since a suicide attack killed at least forty end in security personnel two weeks ago as well as live for us in new delhi right now safe as there's been renewed shelling early on thursday what else can you tell us about that. well the indian army claims they were retaliating to firing that was initiated from the box on the side but local indian media have now reported rochelle that that firing has now stopped shelling is actually fairly common between india and pakistan when tensions are high which they definitely are right now now though people in those living in those areas have told al-jazeera that they're actually leaving they're worried that there could be caught in the crossfire or they could be hit by a stray shell so they're trying to get out of the area now in a sign that things may be calming officials have told indian media that the civilian air space over indeed administered kashmir may be opening on thursday it had been shut on wednesday amid the incursion by pakistani aircraft but as this has

all happened the indian government has been fairly silent rachele there's was one brief statement on wednesday but other than that nothing much else the opposition on the other hand is becoming more vocal in a rare show of political unity they had first said that they stand behind the government when the february fourteenth suicide attack took place but now they're issued a joint statement with other opposition parties criticizing the government's handling of the situation particularly prime minister narendra modi he is also being criticized for politicizing the situation as well now elections are coming and on thursday prime minister narendra modi is holding an interactive forum with party workers and volunteers in fifteen thousand locations across the country because even while this tense situation exists in the country elections are coming up soon here ok best to milan for us in a delhi as thank you. scott emraan khan now who is live on this offer bought and pakistan administered kashmir some on what's the latest from where you are.

well let me just show you behind me that. right there in the heart of pakistani admission is kashmir and it's in blackout mode at night as a whole of the surrounding areas where i am and that's just an indication of how seriously everybody is taking this the line of control and between india and mr kashmir in pakistani administered kashmir is about eighty miles that way and so many people we've seen of fled those areas because of the shelling that's taking place and they coming to trying to get out of pakistani administered kashmir in some cases now what with what pakistanis are looking for old pakistani always now seem to be on new delhi and a reaction to prime minister imran khan's televised address to the nation on wednesday way he offered a strong support for his army for his country and their right to defend their

borders but also said it was time for him i mean the government to sit down and talk and to look for a diplomatic solution we haven't heard any strong words come out of the indian side of things and that's a real concern for the baucus danis because they worried that the indians are simply too divided between the opposition and the government to come to come up and formulate a response and so everybody is simply here they're just waiting for the indian response ok. live for us and thank you good morning top story now day two the u.s. north korean summit underlined hard as a professor of korean studies and university joins us now from seoul so since we last spoke a couple of hours ago and kept on his made the statement that he would not be at this summit if he were willing or open to denuclearize does that statement have any credibility with you especially considering that nothing came out of the last

summit. strategy is first stand there not scary and set that if your come lately are supportive of the did nuclearization of the korean peninsula it was nineteen nineteen ram city years ago in this city years the successfully developed and tested nuclear evidence ceremoniously of evidence a long range from a science and intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of hitting pretty much anywhere in the world because even in the traditional last korean pilot to go back every if they say did you clear ization it usually implies visit role of the us forces from station clear because in position if americans get out of asia probably they will surrender our nuclear weapons that is nothing special about it major goal of north korea which is understandable they want to the in time they want to wait donald trump out the door and want it scully sure they don't want to see what they

saw in two thousand and seventeen when if you believe that that image of war was just about to erupt in not in iran korean peninsula so what is it if you would be a great deal of seed statements from both sides yes or what is the what is the point of these continued suburbs these continue meetings between these two countries if you think that it is clear that north korea is not going to budge why but the us president continue to have these types of meetings with him. if you're stopped for. even some ideal outcome such summits never produce dignitaries ition because denis leary's asia. is not going to happen period not now not in the future however some kind of compromise is possible it's not possible to make not scary it will surrender nuclear weapons but it's possible to

negotiate a freeze and dulled sizing of their nuclear program it's possible to achieve an agreement than north korea salander some of its nuclear facilities maybe some of their warheads senses sound much ideals in exchange of economic concessions and lifting the sanctions and some biological recognition so it's a kind of the maximum possible achievement it's not completely empire civil but as time goes by it looks less and less likely right now not scary as some working hard to even time invade donald trump out because they are afraid that don't have prop like pretty much all the u.s. presidents can said it equally authorize a military operation against not scary they don't want it and donald trump well he's probably looking for some kind of political capital or he is probably quite satisfied if he's if it is keeping the north korea nuclear development or in its

current level the growth a few years ago it looked like lee is there they will keep developing ok so we'll have to see if there is any compromise that can be reached and i like our thank you very much. colombia shut its borders with venezuela thousands of venezuelans are still leaving the country and trying to leave the country which remains gripped by political and economic crisis. on the colombian side of the border. the steady stream of venezuelans crossing the border continues without pause with your fishel entry points closed these pathways are the only option for the thousands who regularly cross into colombia for supplies we cross with food and medicine you have sick people who need treatment cancer treatment others doing jobs the closing affects us all but not everyone can walk and people are dying and soldiers patrol the area but people gangs control the paths in charge the equivalent of two u.s. dollars to cross on wednesday when this will end security forces reinforce their
