this is al jazeera. from doha everyone i'm come on sons of maria and this is the news hour from al-jazeera. the return could help wind down the tensions over kashmir indian pilots who was shot down in pakistan is now back on his side of the border. also my anger and frustration in algeria as protesters fed up with their president's demonstrate against his bid for a fifth. u.s. politicians give the white house three days to turn over documents on security clearance after reports from son in law got special treatment and canada says it will allow the extradition case against. joe to go ahead

a decision china posts. so the indian pilot taken captive by pakistan has been to hospital for a check up after being freed by islam about. was welcomed up the border two days after his plane was shot down in the disputed kashmir region pakistan is calling his release a gesture of peace while indians prime minister india's prime minister praised the pilot for his exemplary courage as this report from new delhi. at the walk a border crossing in punjab wing commander of the london virus man is released from pakistani custody back to india two days after his aircraft was shot down. as i was going to go to work was the last one is going to really want it that was

not there all day and i want to get all of them sick we're not going to. take up the ground particularly because the officer has hacked. from an arab man group would have already i don't know. i have is happy to have already gotten back to a former colonel in the indian army says at best the decision to hand him over so quickly has been begrudgingly welcomed by india but that doesn't do enough to overcome this lingering mistrust of mistrust that have been generated by this pakistan for men to terrorism and support to the insurgency in kashmir these are the real key issues cush mean terrorism. the celebrations at the border are unlikely to last long as the roots of the kashmir dispute remain deep seated as attempts are made to deescalate tensions between india and pakistan continue to complain they're the

ones caught in the middle and those from indeed in mr kashmir accuse the indian government of not doing enough for them not just now but over many years just before the pilots release there was a funeral in indian administered kashmir it was for woman killed by shelling between india and pakistan that began on wednesday across the line of control that divides kashmir people here complain they always suffer when pakistan and india fight and there is renewed concerns about the indian government's policies in india to minister to. the new crop of young educated people they have taken to the sense that this is something which is unprecedented that this former kashmiri civil servant made news for resigning from his post to. protest against the government new delhi's policies policies he says are far more militaristic leaving no room for peaceful negotiation. the old institutions of dialogue negotiation those being kind of becoming irrelevant and nor important and no significant political initiative

from delhi has been there for the last few years. the indian government has long complained that pakistan supports groups who promote violence and mere whoever is to blame for the under arrest in the disputed region all these indians want to do for now celebrate the release of their pilot as jamil al jazeera you delhi. here's what jeff stacey thinks about it he's a former u.s. state department official and he spoke to him you know as both sides need to act to diffuse the situation. as the u.s. has taken a backseat role compared to prepare for india might try something else i mean they seem to be celebrating it in their pilot back but they lost two aircrafts. overall for this thing to resolve you know moving forward pakistan has to rein in joshua hama in a couple of other groups in the indians need to pull back some of their troops in you know respect human rights a little bit or both have nuclear weapons now yet they do things that the u.s.s.r. and us would never have done during the cold war in gauge each other like this and

that's what the international community has been so concerned about you've got things like the u.s. sitting this one out which was a big surprise normally the u.s. is right in there with secretaries of state even presidents getting on the line with both sides and that's been virtually absent in this instance partly because the trumpet administration is so neglectful in state department terms and partly because they're probably sitting this one out you've seen the u.s. south asian strategy target pakistan in a way that node ministration has done before except in private so there's that sort of amateurish element that we've seen on display in north korea recently watching say vietnam just a footnote to all this pakistan's foreign minister is boycotting a meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation because india has been invited . skipping the oh i see event in abu dhabi sending lower ranked officials instead she says india isn't

a member of the fifty seven nation organisation even though india's external affairs minister is attending as a guest of honor and once pressured to be put on countries that support what she calls terrorism if you want to see if that indeed. and trying to get these men did you just don't get it that they're just games and. tonight and being in shape and not get it. in that country. in other news hundreds of thousands of people around and across algeria demanding their eighty one year old president pull out of next month's elections but the fleet has been in power for twenty years now and plans to run for a fifth term but protesters across the country say he is unfit for the job or from the. violent clashes on the streets of the algerian capital algiers as peaceful protest turned violent. protesters hold that police tear gas was

fired back just last friday thousands have joined rarely seen anti-government protests. earlier large crowds gathered in algiers in the biggest demonstrations in the country in decades there were similar scenes in several other cities that demanded the country's ailing president abdulaziz beautifully co withdrawals from the country's forthcoming presidential election. the student led protests have been growing in recent days ever since the eighty one year old leader issued a statement announcing his intention to run for a fifth term algerian journalists have also joined the growing demonstrations calling for greater press freedom and political reform. was elected president in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine. but after suffering a debilitating stroke six years ago he's rarely seen in public and hasn't given a speech in years here he is in twenty seventy two frail to cast his ballot without

that now derian revenues are dropped dramatically with the decline in oil prices there the implications of the algerian economy its growth there also to the question of the reserve the to be named and there's also a sense of sclerosis you've got a political system that simply is not operating and an algerian sort of finally become fed up with us and there's a very strong. showing when they should be forced to do an act a man who is incapacitated by a stroke growth fifth term in breach of the constitution and the this this should be forced on them the only proper discussion or any probably leadership one will be still in the stone that it's not him who really is the challenge it's the group behind in the group in the presidency backed up by the so-called economic barons the leading business. and the army and the security services who are trying to

foist one country in their own choice to guarantee their continuity in power and that's a lot of europeans really object to the demonstrations which began in a very small way a week ago and now urgent throughout the whole country and there are very serious warning to the regime that is now going to find a solution we can and will live. the taliban's claimed responsibility for an attack on an army base in afghanistan which killed at least twenty three afghan soldiers. in helmand province is shared by afghan and american troops though the u.s. says its sector didn't come under threat the afghan defense ministry though says twenty attackers including eight suicide bombers were killed by level talks between the u.s. and the taliban are expected to resume here in doha later on saturday also security forces in somalia have shot dead three fighters ending a standoff following a bomb attack on a hotel the fighters held up for several hours in

canada's government has approved an extradition hearing for show chief financial officer of the chinese tech giant is under house arrest after being detained three months ago at the request of the us government among and face charges of conspiring to violate sanctions on iran in a case that triggered a diplomatic row between canada and china an update from rosen in jordan on this one in washington right now that we are as we say three months into this does this represent. an escalation and an acceleration of the whole situation. well it certainly is a significant moment in this saga. of ms mung but it does not mean that things are going to pick up the pace in terms of her actually being extradited from canada to the united states to face these charges of conspiring to engage in bank fraud and wire fraud as well as allegedly committing wire fraud and

bank fraud and also being accused of lying to u.s. authorities about her behavior about the behavior of pockley where she is the chief financial officer and of the behavior of sky com which is a huawei subsidiary operating inside iran this is a situation where the u.s. government wanted canada to extradite her and canada good detained her back in december but things have been very slow in moving of pace she's under house arrest in vancouver while this whole extradition issue gets worked out and for her part she is alleging that she didn't do anything wrong that is not what an indictment handed down by a grand jury in brooklyn suggested in january it suggested that ms monk her company qualify a way united states which is based in taxes as well as sky com which is based in

toronto essentially violated its international and u.s. sanctions against iran and then the indictment further says that ms monk deliberately lied about it to u.s. authorities ok thanks for all that bank there that's rosalynn jordan in washington d.c. we're going to vancouver now on skype for us michael bias who's a professor of international law at the university of british columbia michael just . very general but i wonder if you can tell of you as a remind our viewers first of all why this one case and this one executive massa's quite so much. huawei is the largest chinese technology company. as well a lot of connections does a lot of business with the rest of the world so if you're going to arrest the chief

financial officer of any chinese company this is the one that will cause the most problems in terms of the chinese government's response and the chinese government's response is as i understand a moment saying well we're not happy about this they say they've been cooperating but they don't want this to be happening to one of their own citizens what does all this mean potentially for i guess diplomatic relations as well not just the legal ones because the so many countries involved here. well canada is in an impossible position the united states is canada's largest trading partner we do united states has an extradition treaty with canada it made a request the extradition procedure is moving forward it could take many years before it comes to a close but canada is legally obligated to follow its extradition procedures because of that treaty yet on the other side china is canada's second largest

trading partner and again the chinese government feels a particular slight in the arrest of such an important executive and they are really going to the wall on this they have arrested two canadian citizens on what appear to be trumped up charges and they are detaining them in quite harsh conditions in canada that these two canadians are viewed as hostages and the rhetoric has really been quite extreme the chinese bastard that to canada accusing the canadian government of white supremacy with regards to this case is why becoming a sort of like a an international bogeyman now almost or as far as china is concerned at least that people see it as such a potential threat and that it's almost like a shopfront for everything that's quote unquote bad to do with china and tried.

well there is the issue of why our way selling technology that could be very useful to the chinese intelligence services in terms of. surveilling activities in western countries in gauging in class when i was there is a security concern with regards to the way technology but you're absolutely right while way has become symbolic of the rise of china the growth of this new economic superpower and concerns about trying to keep it in chat and we see that in regard to the the trade war between the united states and china this is a power struggle while weight is part of it and little canada has been caught in the middle now the extradition judge could decide that this request from his mom is politically motivated and at some point ordered her release and my guess is that the canadian government is hoping that he will do that as

a nice way out for canada and not being able to you know actually take credit for the release not being able to be blamed for it but to still have a solution to this very difficult problem really interesting isn't it so much at stake michael by have thank you so much do appreciate it you're most welcome thank you now the white house has been given until monday to hand over documents detailing security clearances and photos reports the u.s. president ordered his son in the jar kirshner be given top clearance trampas previously denied he had any role in question as security posture pretends he has the story. question as appointment as a senior advisor to president trump was controversial the president had tangled business affairs but no political or diplomatic experience yet he was given some of the world's most complex issues to oversee on behalf of the u.s. failed to report various contacts with foreign officials like the russian

ambassador to the u.s. on his initial security clearance application but was granted an interim security clearance nonetheless that allowed him to view top secret information as well as even more confidential resources known as sensitive compartmented information he could see the president's daily intelligence report on the thames classified briefings security of the white house was tighten them in february of twenty eighteen and those with interim clearances were no longer allowed to view top secret and above information pending review and that included at the time the president said it would be up to his chief of staff to review question a status so that will be up to general kelly general kelly respects general lot and general kelly will make that call i won't make that call and earlier this year i don't trump said the eventual granting of top secret security clearance to question i had been out of his hands and. i was never involved with his security i know that he you know just from reading i know that there was issues back and forth.

about security for. the numerous people actually but i don't want to get involved in that stuff we just soiree general kelly but according to the new york times john kelly felt he was ordered to get a question about top secret security clearance and was so worried he wrote a memo to that effect the white house counsel don mcgowan also put the concerns that the cia and other intelligence agencies have about krishna into writing the white house says it doesn't comment on security clearances following donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen's testimony this week about how trump interacts with his subordinates there are questions as to whether kelli was actually ordered or just felt he was being pressured to grant question about security clearance but. congressional democrats are vowing to pursue this further and demanding answers as to what derogatory information officials had on krishna that made them reluctant to give him clearance and why president trump concealed his role in overruling their recommendation they have been multiple reports that various foreign powers including the u.a.e.

china israel and mexico have been intercepted having private conversations about their hope to exploit cushion his inexperience and business debts to their advantage the crown prince of saudi arabia was once quoted as saying he had cushion a quote in his back pocket cushion himself has been in the middle east this week as he prepares his long touted deal of the century for the region friday's news will be another blow to his authority shihab rattansi al-jazeera washington. we spoke to glenn kahl earlier he's a former deputy national intelligence officer at the cia and explained how levels of clearance for the white house are actually decided. well the access that you receive depends on the level of the clearance and it can go up to what we call compartment information that's well above the top secret much more restricted than that and that will be satellite intercepts or human sources or technical measures very privileged information that would be compromised not just the information but the means of acquiring it if there were ever

a leak so that's what you get how you get it depends on your character and on the vulnerability that you are assessed to have for compromise for pressure and in this instance it would appear that there were both of those categories that were problematic i think the main one however is the issue of character because if one is open about financial obligations and complications and so on then one can address those but one can't address lying on an application about contacts of foreigners and things like that if the united states were a functioning democracy with checks and balances in the rule of law from the presidency on down then what would happen is that the executive office of the presidency would hand over the documents requested or obliged to hand over and one would see that the president overrode the recommendations of the bureaucracies and that the bureaucracies were concerned for issues of character and potential

compromise but that's not the world that we live in and i think that what we'll hear is a claim of having corresponded to the required for filled requests while ignoring them twisted also into an attack on the deep state and they and parson opponents of the. now there is a cleanup going on of one of the world's most polluted rivets but it's taking longer than expected every day about twenty thousand tons of waste and three hundred forty thousand tons of waste water dumped in the tunnel in indonesia florence new reports now from beyond them in west java why this difficult job. cleaning up indonesia's most polluted river is a huge undertaking even the military's involved machines have been brought in to bury the tons of rubbish fished out from the cheetah it's been a year since the government launched a program to clean up the river but one military commander tells us progress has

been slow with an action plan only put in place recently but they would know about the school we were supposed to have four thousand six hundred military personnel working on this last year but we only had one thousand six hundred this year because of a lack of funds only four hundred of us involved thankfully the villages see the benefits of this program so they've been helping us so. the cheeto river flows through northwest java and provides eighty percent of the water supply for the capital jakarta this photo taken in january by a local environmental group shows untreated waste from a textile factory dumped directly into the river runoff from farms upstream also contribute to the contamination a government agency that routinely tests the quality of water in the cheeto room says it went from bad to worse last year. the slow progress is even more apparent

in other areas this looks like a landfill but it's really part of the river the surface is completely covered with all kinds of rubbish plastic bags bottles but here you get a sense of the scale of the problem and just how massive the cleanup effort is. the plan to rehabilitate the river isn't only about improving water quality floating garbage clogs up drainage the river frequently overflows during the rainy season. people in the village of cheap attack have had to endure floods year after year and some. in the young and we still have it i would remind you that when you look at this this happens every time it floods our streets and homes get covered in mud and trash i worry not for myself but for my children and grandchildren. the newly appointed governor of west java indonesia's most populous province has been tossed to the cleanup we're making much progress more than the perception

we did five years but seven years given from the decree we will show the world from the dirtiest of the further we can become one of the most livable. they for in the world was. to make good on his what he'll have to ensure not only that the river is cleaned up but that the laws that punish those who pollute the river on forced florence larry al-jazeera bondo indonesia. in the news ahead venezuela's opposition leader why don't continues his tour of latin american nations trying to shore up support to oust the president. was was. a win for worshipers after a long battle at a lock some mosque compound but they run the problems inside. and this former manchester united star makes a positive start to my face in asia the details and sports a little was.

hello there is more significant rain for china it's march nassau so we can always call it early spring rains if you like there's been a few spots in hong kong and you can see the cloud that brought us a few spots for the the generation is further north heavy rains a possibility in shanghai and so a young sea valley a long way west and a long way science as well and it's coming science his whole system is moving slowly leaving or hardens sunshine shanghai just getting about into sunday but that could be significant rain as went on its way through fuji and stretching back towards in the parts of your non but it's all right it's not snow you'll notice by this stage and then south of that there's virtually nothing in the sky the philippines a good plan

here with the news from al-jazeera these are the top stories the indian pilots taken captive by pakistan has now been released to some about's calling it a gesture of peace wing commander. was welcomed at the border two days after his plane was shot down in the disputed region of kashmir. hundreds of thousands of people have rallied across algeria the president of the disease will defeat his plan to run for a fifth term police fired tear gas at some protesters in the demonstrations but mostly peaceful. and canada has begun the process of extraditing a top while way executive to the united states among one jones under house arrest after being detained at washington's request she's accused of conspiring to violate sanctions on iran. venezuela's opposition leader is in argentina rallying support across latin america to have president maduro removed one by those already met the leaders of brazil in power why he is vowing to return to venezuela rizzoli is next

week reports. one way though is touring latin america to thank those leaders who have come out in support of his bid to replace nicola as venezuela's president they are members of the so-called group and why though says their support is crucial in this i want that i will be returning to caracas soon to continue carrying out the judy that i swore to and that all of venezuela swore to we're going to continue mobilizing in the streets of venezuela despite the risks and even the death threats . the opposition leader was banned by the government from leaving venezuela on a tour that's already taken him to brazil. but while he's away the united states is promising to keep up the pressure on the government of. this time new sanctions on those who prevented food and medical supplies from the united states entering venezuela but the united states has imposed new visa restrictions on individuals

responsible for undermining venezuela's democracy we are applying this policy to numerous. law and officials and their families and supporters the abuser violate human rights steal from the venezuelan people or undermine venezuela's democracy are not welcome in the united states but as the u.s. tries to isolate my woulda been a leader is turning even more to russia for support he's ordered the european union based office of the state of company to move to moscow in an attempt to buy bass recent economic sanctions imposed by the united states we saw me watching just we cooperate closely and coordinate our actions in the international arena and of the moment our cooperation is gaining special importance on the circumstances of venezuela facing a frontal attack on a shameless intervention into its internal affairs we will categorically counteract

such attempts and will be defending the ideals norms and principles of the united nations. with wife out of the country the big question is when he will be able to return doing so will allow him to continue challenging. the inside the country without united opposition front that was divided until he came along. u.s. president donald trump is long gone but north korean leader north korea's leader kim jong un still in vietnam launching a state tour he's met vietnam's president million from wrong this is kim's fourth foreign destination in less than a year donald trump left the summit with him in hungary early after making little progress in the talks on denuclearization. well they've been competing narratives over why the talks protons we say trump walked away over apparently demands that the u.s. lift all sanctions on pyongyang north korea though says it only ask for sanctions

relief our diplomatic editor james bays picks up that story from hungary. kim jong un has stayed all in vietnam meeting with the country's president has 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. we actually had papers ready to be designed 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 president. 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 north 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

je in of south korea who rescued things minutes after boarding air force one and 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 al-jazeera. and the parents of an american student who died after being detained in north korea are blaming leader kim jong un for his death has spoken to after donald trump lavished praise on kim jury in the summit auto one died shortly after return to the u.s. and twenty seventeen his parents accuse north korea of inflicting unimaginable cruelty and inhumanity on their son kim denies any knowledge of what bia trump's been criticised for saying he believes the north korean leader. donald trump is actually since responded to his tweeted i never like being misinterpreted

but especially when it comes to auto one viewer and his great family of course i hold north korea responsible for autos mistreatment and death. now unicef is warning of a global surge in the number of measles cases it says complacency and conflict are threatening to undo decades of work to contain the disease it says in twenty eight hundred ninety eight countries reported major increasing cases compared to previous years ten countries alone contributed three quarters of the increase places where there a conflict like ukraine and yemen but also wealthier nations like france according to the world health organization one hundred thirty six thousand people died from the virus last year the global health body blamed what it called vaccine hesitancy more on this with mike hanna it's a disease that's more contagious than a bolo or influenza that can be prevented by

a simple readily available vaccine. and yet in a number of countries including some once declared measles free cases of the disease on the rise unicef and its partners are supporting governments urgently to reach millions of children in countries around the globe liza's is a highly contagious viral disease which remains an important cause of death among young children globally despite the availability of safe effective and inexpensive vaccines some health workers contend that the increasing cases of the disease now is a direct consequence of successful vaccination campaigns in the past as a result we relaxed and the general population began thinking that the vaccination was perhaps not necessary so the uptake in vaccinations dropped which means the number of the vaccinated population declined and with that we lost protection. in a number of regions some are posed to vaccinations for personal religious or medical reasons this is the case in are a gun in the u.s.

described as an anti vaccination hotspot last month health officials declared a public emergency after at least fifty cases of measles were confirmed in january alone and the situation is more critical in war zones like yemen where diseases like measles are made even worse by widespread now nutrition. nearly sixteen thousand cases of the disease were reported last year at least two hundred sixty children died yet despite the ongoing conflict there more than eleven million children were vaccinated last month alone the stressed the beginning in a new global fight against an old and deadly enemy mike hanna al-jazeera united nations with us on skype now from omaha nebraska is dr ali khan is the dean of the university of nebraska medical center college of a public health nice to have you with us vaccination complacency does it surprise

you that this is still a thing in twenty nineteen that it could be directly linked to this increase in measles. thank you very much and no it doesn't surprise me and actually this is becoming a greater issue because as one of your reporters just said measles most people don't see musicals anymore so they think it's a disease that's long gone and don't realize that we're still our kids are still at risk so in the united states we eliminated measles in the year two thousand and we're continuing to see cases that start from importation into the united states and then if you go into a non backs native community you can have a market epidemic cads is occurring in the northwest united states right now so is that then simply a case of vaccinate and this problem will start to go away i guess i am talking about the countries the wealthy countries where vaccination is readily available

absolutely so that two separate things going on has your reporter talked about earlier conflict in vaccine hesitancy so if we go back to venezuela which was an earlier story you know the americas were free and the limit made it measles the health system collapsed in venezuela and measles came back and it spread disease into brazil jetson had any cases since two thousand and seventeen so conflict and collapse of health system is a big factor but that's not what's happening in the united states in large parts of europe in those places there's families and parents are no longer getting their kids vaccinated and it and that's leading to having susceptible children and that's not a good thing when that disease would measles ninety percent of people who are vaccinated will get infected if they're exposed is it just something that we will that children have to worry about a thing when i think of measles i think of it as very much being a childhood disease but you know what do adults have to do as well. actually

everybody's at risk if they have not been vaccinated before vaccine was routine everybody got the disease by the time they were fifteen years of age and the groups that tend to do the worst of the kids less than five in adults greater than twenty so they're the ones who are most likely to have the complications of pneumonia as an brain inflammation and other other diseases like this which we obviously were focusing specifically on this one in the number of increases but are there other diseases where a lack of vaccination is becoming a problem like we're aware there's a similar trend oh absolutely i just responded to a diptheria outbreak amongst their handgun refugees in bangladesh last year and they had never been vaccinated and so there was a large outbreak of the disease so it's true for any vaccine preventable disease what being car except for if you don't vaccinate people they're going to get

infected continuing to see pockets of polio in nigeria and buxton have got is done because they've failed to completely vaccinate those populations and so those countries still continue to have polio transmission ok dr it's good to talk to you about a very important subject here thank you for your time always a pleasure thank you. now european union members have blocked a proposal to add more countries to a blacklist over money laundering and the financing of armed groups the countries included saudi arabia and for u.s. territories they would have joined sixteen nations already on the list countries like iran iraq pakistan and ethiopia the european commission says it wants to stop suspicious bank transactions and illegal activities but the trumpet ministration and saudi arabia lobbied against the plan calling it politically motivated e.u. nations unanimously vetoed the move diplomats are said to have been concerned over
