hours after vetoing a u.s. led bid at the u.n. calling for new elections. pakistan has released the indian pilot it took captive in what it's calling a gesture of peace wing commander been undone someone walked back across the water authority border after being shot down on wednesday in the disputed kashmir region pakistani officials say they handed him over to india in a bid to ease the tensions between the two nations. on earth you all of us all indians are how to be in contact so long as he will be bartulis a country if you are in his. other countries custody and he comes back and delivers country are you going to think he was doing all of them by emotion. happiness in his eyes or really ever. also harami in so raman is live for us in new delhi so so

he'll relief for all over india right now at his release. yes certainly it's been much anticipated certainly for the last forty eight hours that when command. would actually be released but when that was the actual question we've been waiting for about six hours for more news about his transfer and those very few what ten twenty steps across the border from pakistan into india it was delayed several times even up to the last minute but as you saw from those pictures he was slowly a score to it to the border by the lady that you can see the traditional show archimedes' company is from the ministry of foreign affairs standing next to her the gentleman in the air force uniform is a representative of course from the force there skordas him to the rangers who are

the basically the commandos who look after the border on the pakistan side there he was a sort handed over to the indians the would have been brought across as he was quite late on to be processed at the worker border and there it was assumed that he would be put in charge of certainly seen by the red cross neutral body he would have made sure that he was medically fit and also he was the man that the indians were looking for and then they would scorch him across the border and handed over to indian officials because he was taken into the care of the indian air force that it's assumed he will now head towards new delhi for a complete medical check up by the deep. and so hell of this this is these ongoing tensions between the latest ongoing tensions between india and pakistan it all began of course more than two weeks ago with that attack in poorman indian

administered kashmir on. indian paramilitary forces does this release now do something to to ease those tensions a little bit. well that's been the question to a certain extent that pakistan would like we've heard of phrases from the pakistani prime minister that this is a gesture of goodwill an opportunity to ease tensions certainly from the indian side there has been a reserve silence until their command was returned to the ministry of external affairs as well as the defense ministry were keeping very quiet about exactly what they were would not going to say it's a great deal of tension here politically as well about what's going on there is a ongoing spat between the opposition and the incumbent come but government about how politicized this particular incident has become but regardless of that the

tension between india and pakistan has continued opposite on going to her few in kashmir and even on friday there were skirmishes in a hundred or a small area in northern kashmir where two armed gunmen were fighting indian forces and the events of the end of the day what the news we have there is that six acuity personnel of the killed one civilian and several others injured and even those details at the moment are a little bit sketchy we're trying to get more information on that. even on thursday we saw shelling between india and pakistan in the kashmir region with one fatality a lady that was buried in the tension continues as does the pressure of both countries both domestically and internationally to try and find a solution to ease the tensions but it's certainly not over or i phenomenal how raman live for us there in new delhi thanks. as the tensions have flared up between india and pakistan kashmiris living on both sides of the disputed border are

suffering the most iran can reports now from chuck hearty. by car on foot the residents of to leave in haste. this village on the disputed border area of kashmir known as the line of control is typical of many in the area. shelling from both sides is not uncommon but in recent days it's increased to levels not seen in two decades and people aren't taking any chances or that the more. need over there more days after us we keep seeing here the government doesn't do anything we have to calm the insulted we're now wandering there's no point in living. from the village alone some three hundred families have fled in surrounding villages artillery shells have damaged houses in this village the women and children have left but the men have stayed behind to defend. we stand with the army we

stand here just a kilometer away from the border we won't leave our forces behind there are also similar scenes happening in indian administered kashmir just post that military checkpoint law is the line of control the affected border between pakistan and indian administered kashmir and it's not just on this side of the border that kashmir is all scared people are also fleeing from. shows from the pakistani side has increased in recent days. how do you play. may god protect everyone as well as hindus and six three that the two powers you can cite so that peace freezes in the region and live in. those prayers may well be in vain for now both pakistan and india are pushing each other diplomatically and militarily and so far neither shows any signs of backing down in the disputed region of kashmir is the people that are feeling the pain and once again they feel

they're being used as pawns between the two nuclear powers. which is a trickle in. pakistan's foreign minister is boycotting a meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation after india was invited sharma mood could and she is skipping the oh i see event in abu dhabi here sent lower ranking officials instead she says india is not a member of the fifty seven nation organization india's external affairs minister is attending as a guest of honor. for pressure to be put on countries that support what she called terrorism if you want to see if that indeed. the state. and frankly the decades to dismantle the infrastructure of that dead are just games and. like hanging in shelters that get it in asia is based in that country. a gunfight between police and fighters in somalia's capital is now over somali

basically asked for for sanctions relief that's true they basically did ask for that. that was in exchange for. something relatively undefined but the scope of the president didn't think was adequate to justify that level of economic sanctions relief our diplomatic etta james maes has more on the summit from hanoi. kim jong un has stayed on in vietnam meeting with the country's president as his isolated nation needs all the friends it can get with the global sanctions now likely to stay in place following the failure of the summit what's happened has been a textbook example of the benefits and the drawbacks of top down face to face diplomacy bringing trump and came together last year in singapore worked they built a report and moved the world back from the brink of nuclear war. but in hanoi

relying on the two leaders to conduct complex negotiations on the issues of north korea's nuclear program and the wide ranging global sanctions wasn't a success the north korean leader took a tough position calling for all the most recent sanctions to be lifted it was a step too far for the u.s. he actually had papers ready to be sad but it just wasn't appropriate i want to do it right i'd much rather do it right than do it fast an expert on the korean peninsula told me why he believes kim pushed hard to get so many sanctions lifted so early in the process for the north koreans they see an opportunity to in the trump presidency to achieve some goals that they really wouldn't expect to achieve with a quote unquote normal president in the white house so for them there is a little bit of urgency and of course sanctions relief is a relatively urgent matter for noise. korea as a purely as

a matter of economic expediency there have actually been two similar ten years diplomatic process is south korea's diplomacy with the north led the way of the winter olympics almost exactly one year ago and when u.s. diplomacy with north korea faltered at the end of last year it was president moon j.m. of south korea who rescued things minutes after boarding air force one then leaving vietnam the first person president trump phoned was president moon it's clear south korea is now being given the job of cleaning up this mess jamesburg days out in the north. thousands of algerians are protesting plans by president abdul aziz bouteflika to run for a fifth term police fired tear gas and demonstrators surging past barricades set up around government buildings organize is called for a million man march eighty two year old beautifully care has rarely been seen at

busson as. the timing of the visit of the driggers the vice president of venezuela is interesting because it comes only one day after russia lost a resolution of vote basically asking for support of nicolas maduro and his control over international aid this resolution got only four votes in the security council which is quite a dramatic loss but still the foreign minister a lot for here in moscow has sat that he stands firm behind nicolas maduro and he says he is against any cynical attempt as he describes it to topple a legally elected government he also says that he knows that the united states is trying to militias remember intervene in venezuela and they are basically buy in arms in the eastern european country to say to be sent there and plan some kind of syria skin area for venezuela as well he says there's not a single country in latin america who is supporting this kind of military action

and that russia is basically supporting a peaceful solution for venezuela of course russia has a lot at stake in venezuela not only militarily politically but also economically billions of dollars have been put in the country in recent years especially also in the oil industry to most concrete results for the meat of the meeting today is that the office of european head office of the state oil company of venezuela will be moved to moscow from lisbon because venezuela said we can't get any guarantees in europe anymore to defend or state assets also russia has said that they have sent seven a half tons of medicine and also agricultural products like wheat to venezuela to support the population there but nothing else concrete has been announced so far the spokesman of president putin basque office said there has not been any agreement between mcdougal and put into land more money to venezuela and also they

do the same united states introduced a resolution calling for a free and fair elections in venezuela as well as humanitarian access but russia would not have it. we are seriously concerned by the fact that today's meeting may be exploited as a step for preparations for real not humanitarian intervention and as a pretext for external intervention they vetoed the draft which was supported by nine other council members the u.s. is special representative for venezuela said the biggest threat to the venezuelan people came from their government regrettably by voting against this resolution some members of this council continue to shield his cronies and prolong the suffering of the venezuelan people. more than three million people have fled the country seeking food and medicine while others have taken to the streets in protest after an election widely regarded as illegitimate supporters of the resolution

pointed out that it contained no authorization for military force but venezuela raised the specter of colonialism the power to this will have to do with having this one on slaughtering at the end of an assault on people they behave like colonial thing these approach yourself recall and i say show love letting them russia introduced its own resolution reaffirming the territorial integrity and political independence of venezuela but it only got four votes european countries which have also recognized quite doe accused russia of misrepresenting the us draft and venezuela of working. against the interests of its own people and i said it is not true that the dilemma in venezuela is between war and peace as they have said it is not true that a dilemma in one ideology or another in venezuela it is between democracy and dictatorship. so the international stalemate continues nicolas maduro remains in power and won by del wonders if he'll be allowed to go home christine salumi

a lot of them come and go so why is trump so popular among conservatives when he's such an unconventional figure perhaps because he's delivered for them too conservative supreme court justices tax breaks deregulation a bulwark against gun control and an expanding economy for that they seem willing to put up with some quirks ethical concerns marital infidelity and an undisciplined twitter feed. many also support his relentless attacks on the media and god's word to the bad guy despite cohen's testimony and expanding array of investigations that target him when trump speaks here on saturday he enters a safe place where he is expected to be welcomed as a conservative hero john hendren al jazeera oxon hill maryland. the nearly two thousand workers at a factory in pennsylvania have gone on strike they're on happy a changes to their pay and conditions it is the first of may just try can the manufacturing industry since president came to power the reports from erie
