7:00 pm
i'm glad we have that technology available to us techno. pakistan arrests members of an armed group blamed for last month's attack on indian troops in kashmir. hello i'm barbara starr you're watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up on the program we are in kandahar to see how they're coping after flooding kills at least fifty people in afghanistan and pakistan six years after his died his chosen successor is clinging to power in venezuela but armadillos claims that chavis him
7:01 pm
is alive and well troops and the london patient becomes only the second person in the world to be declared free of the aids virus. pakistan says it has arrested more than forty people thought to be linked to on groups in the region it's part of a crackdown following an attack in kashmir which left forty indian paramilitary troops that the february attack was claimed by the pakistan based on the group jaish e mohammed the brother of the group's leader was among those arrested the bombing has triggered the most serious standoff between india and pakistan in years well earlier the pakistani navy says that it turned away an indian submarine that it's spotted close to its waters this video released by the navy is said to show the vessel approaching pakistan's territory it says no action was taken against the
7:02 pm
submarine in order to help reduce tensions imran khan now reports from the city. on what pakistan is doing about josh and mohammed and other armed groups. and they told me it will be free this group call themselves but that it will just deem the budget holy warriors their leader is mullah mohammed her ruling he's a firebrand cleric who supports all new. groups across kashmir including jaish e mohammad that's the group claimed responsibility for the february fourteenth attack on indian troops that sparked this latest crisis between pakistan and india . god willing the fighters of are already across the country and are ready to pounce on their targets and are waiting for the right time and god willing this year will be the liberation of the whole of kashmir. the ante in the pro united kashmiri ideology is fundamental to all of the groups in the region india has long
7:03 pm
maintained that these groups are directly funded and directed by pakistan's intelligence service the i.s.i. it's a charge pakistan the noise however the question remains what is pakistan doing about groups like al but their majority and jaish e mohammad after two thousand and fourteen we have been hard on these groups. now it's a stupid policy in pakistan that. really remained with this to. be able to. reload to have the ability to use one for the groups so i think we are taking steps we have taken steps in the past since two thousand and fourteen we have stepped and i think we are on the right direction the groups are active today on both sides of the disputed border in indian administered kashmir has both mojahedin regularly now attacks on indian troops yet india insists it's a domestic issue and says there's no comparison between groups on either side of
7:04 pm
the disputed border so all the suggestion that. between the kind of better challenge that india is facing. and what pakistan is either dealing with internally or india is all internal security issues which are related to the northeast have completely i would say different contours and it's a different profile so this is a case of apples and oranges in a very negative sense because these groups had been assisted by the pakistani state on a neighbor and so by their gesture mamma. you cannot compare them with what is happening with groups in india because they are being sustained and they are the strategic assets of the party. there are many in kashmir who say that the indian army is occupying kashmir and that the groups are a direct consequence of that india says it's there for security reasons meanwhile its armed groups in pakistan that seem to be garnering the most attention the issue
7:05 pm
of armed groups and who supports them is a phony one in pakistan not a factor in your forty's say they are cracking down on these armed groups but it's clear that they are in the spotlight right now. the arrest over a not be enough to satisfy india i'm a lot be enough to reduce tensions between the two nuclear armed neighbors iran car was a for about this can't you is a former secretary in india's foreign ministry he says there is a degree of suspicion about pakistan's actions problem is that fifteen years ago in general that it. for the president of pakistan general musharraf. public assurance that he would not leave and that pakistan would not be allowed. under control. by terrorist groups to launch a list operations in libya. so windy here today fifteen years later
7:06 pm
that pakistan is in acting legislation to comply with un resolutions there's naturally. degree of suspicion the real problem is the activities of these groups and. then there will be the local normalization. rescue and aid operations are ongoing in pakistan and afghanistan where flash floods have killed at least fifty people heavy rain over the past ten days ascott of tens of thousands of residents schools bridges and mosques have been destroyed but what the afghan government is calling the worst flooding in kandahar province in at least seven years shelob ellice is in kandahar one of the hardest hit
7:07 pm
provinces where fifteen hundred homes have been damaged or destroyed. now this is the main point in kandahar city where people are coming to get help behind me there with crowds of people out here this morning here the guards making sure that only the people in the u.n. had actually been to the homes and sure that they were actually damaged put them on alert chick's they brought them here this is not a secure area over here is where the food is being handed out you've got so you've got mentos you're got high energy biscuits with children you've got ted here that you're fired the water you end migration agent three handing out blanket. with the children to keep them warm because of course it is winter here so there's a lot of work being done to try to help these people who have lost so much the u.n. and not the only ones helping you've got the military have done a lot of work in a thing twelve hundred people from flood stricken areas with river beds what have

7:10 pm
outline of of what exactly that strategy might be just yet as you mentioned there is an intention of meeting with public sector workers with meeting with labor unions groups that have been traditionally loyal to president nicolas mother why do is hoping is hoping to win them over we know that that's a major part of his of his agenda today there was also calling for more protestors protests that are scheduled for tuesday but there's also protests that are expected to take place on march ninth which is on saturday now we have not heard anything from president nicolas maduro since sunday evening this is something that we've been keeping a close eye on but unfortunately just simply haven't heard anything from the president in regards to the news that mr grey though is back in the country that these protests are taking place course both both the opposition leader one by bill and president nicolas mother to remain him remain locked in this battle over over
7:11 pm
the leadership in the future of venezuela. and one who has over the past weeks and then since in the days as well we've seen a lot of tension at the various border is a lot of a trying to get in and not being able to for the people who need it in venezuela what's actually happening at the border where you are now. here on the border in venezuela colombia think things are calm the border remains closed tons of international aid remains on moved in a warehouse here because the bridges that connect. connect colombia to venezuela remain closed this was one of the points that one made it to thousands of supporters on the streets of god as yesterday when he called on the venezuelan military to allow that international aid to be allowed to move into business where that still hasn't happened yet and commerce is really relies heavily in this in the city of the trade between the two countries so people are anxious for that border
7:12 pm
official border to reopen until that happens people are finding ways of getting around that crossing the river that separates the two countries so there's an a people are anxious for that border to reopen but diplomatic ties between colombia and venezuela remain closed so we don't actually know when that might happen the man who. lives there who was on the border thank you well it's six years since the death of president nicolas maduro and sprayed assessor and mentor is a little claims is left wing political ideology which is known as is alive and well in venezuela that one there looks at how much of chavez's legacy actually remains. sure these more is dead the opposition in venezuela has been saying that since the president for whom the ideology was named died of cancer on the fifth of march two thousand and thirteen. chosen successor nicolas maduro continues to cling to power
7:13 pm
and the pressure from foreign governments and millions of his own people to step down. they blame him for around things inflation high crime and chronic food and medicine shortages. blames foreign sabotage particularly from the united states so that assuage his problems but not as colorfully as charges once did here criticizing former u.s. president george bush at the united nations in two thousand and six. the president of the united states the gentleman to whom i refer as the devil came here. doing all the talking as if he owned the world i think we could call a psychiatry. to analyze yesterday's statement made by the president of the united states but says that she is alive and well citing health and education programs and the continued redistribution of wealth begun by his
7:14 pm
predecessor but even his supporters admit that is no charge but he doesn't have the same charisma or political astuteness he continues to talk of the future well aware of the mounting risks to his government. but honestly i want peace for venezuela we all want peace for venezuela stop the drums of war stop the threats of invasion of lebanon surrealist say with one voice that we want peace we want to know where the two men shared similar politics the world has changed or prices have slumped and then this way is left wing allies in the region have largely disappeared the doors critics say the only flawed elections and support from the military keep them in power predictions of his imminent demise have been frequent these past six years as they were thoughts. of his before him now president to do it all faces one of his toughest challenges yet with the world watching to see how he reacts to the returns have been a slayer of the self declared interim president bill from a trip to neighboring colombia well then

7:19 pm
field was closed for three months after it was taken over by an armed group fighters loyal to the military strongman highly for have then forced those gunmen out now he's ordered his men to leave after talks with members of livia's unity government the way he does more now from tripoli. libya's national oil corporation or in new c that is the state oil third says that the force majeure or status has been lifted on i'll shut out our oil field around seven hundred fifty kilometers to the south from the capital tripoli i'm sure our oil field the biggest oil producing field in libya was shot down on december ninth by armored groups and also a local militias in the south who wanted to put more pressure on the government of national accord to provide more services and to improve security to their areas and now three months of shutdown of production has cost the libyan treasury around one
7:20 pm
point eight billion dollars that is according to the national oil corporation during january forces loyal to the warlord khalifa haftar managed to get into the oil field by field there was a hand over a peaceful handover of oil field to have to forces now the general prosecutor of libya says the armored groups are responsible for shutting down and shut our oil fields are wanted now the n.o.c. says that the oil production operation for much of our oil field is coming back to normal. in canada protesters angry at a growing political scandal have interrupted a speech by the prime minister justin trudeau. ok it happened hours after the resignation of a second cabinet minister treasury president jane phil pot quit over accusations
7:21 pm
are true those aides tried to influence a criminal inquiry the case involves a multinational canadian company accused of bribing the libyan government it also led to the resignation of the justice minister last month let's go live now to downing. joins us from toronto at that little good to see you or can you tell us about this case and just how much it's it seems to be affecting just want to know right now it stretches way back actually. the prosecution of the company s. and c. leveler alleges that as early as two thousand and one the company was paying bribes to the government of the former libyan leader moammar gadhafi bribes that total about thirty five million dollars over a ten year period that prosecutions been going on for quite some time it actually started before justin trudeau came to office but what is alleged here is that he and his officials with their eye on the fact that s.n.c. level of the company has about nine thousand employees in canada tried to influence
7:22 pm
the justice minister and the prosecutors tried to make them do a so-called deferred prosecution agreement which would mean the company does not undergo a criminal trial but does pay restitution and admit wrongdoing the justice minister stood firm she resigned and this scandal has spiraled ever since then it's his handling of it that is really coming under question right now. and that just remind us how damaging could this be to the prime minister himself of seeing two resignations in a short. span of time but could it lead to his own perhaps. in the words of one very respected political commentator in today's newspapers it's a civil war in the government so basically the his handling of this crisis which has been quite honestly to minimize it to say this is politics as usual that's what's under question here let's remind everyone that justin trudeau came to power
7:23 pm
in a general election in two thousand and fifteen and he promised a new kind of politics open transparent government an end to business as usual where lobbyists in the capital ottawa were seen to be setting policy well that's exactly what seems to be a to have happened here s.n.c. level that lobbied for a change in law that would benefit it with a deferred prosecution agreement and the trudeau government or at least his inner circle tried to get that imposed on the system and the system stood firm this is a scandal that's not going away this is an election year and his poll numbers are terrible at the moment there's going to be a lot of recriminations in liberal party circles in the days and weeks to come that you know like with the latest on that story from toronto that he will thank you. now in a surprise move the former nissen chairman carlos go in has been granted bail he's already served just over three months in prison for accusations of financial misconduct after being denied bail twice a japanese court set bail for the sixty four year old one billion yen that's about

7:25 pm
not really continue on the sanctions drive they should not listen to the opposition to the one sided story of the opposition where we are being victimized or we are being. pointed out is not that is up and that is not the kiss this is the gauge again. and they are trying to hoodwink the international community to support the. government and that will never happen. refugees who escaped fighting in mali by heading to neighboring burkina faso say they could be attacked arrested if they leave their camp in the town of gori thousands cross the border when armed groups started fighting forces supporting mali's government from bateson reports. for the families of these million women this refugee camp in the town of dorian neighboring book enough ass and is no longer a sanctuary they say it now feels like
7:26 pm
a prison. but the problem we face is the arbitrary arrest by either of the two armies of mali and breaking a fast or diarists whoever comes their way even without a question. many people began fleeing from mali when armed groups demanding independence for the north of the country started attacking mali and government forces in twenty twelve mali's military fought back supported by troops from other african nations and france the money and separatist fighters started carrying out raids across the southern border in book enough. people in camps like this one say they're being blamed. our problem is that we were forced to leave our homeland as refugees we were welcome to burkina faso and they used to be enough relief aid now there's a big shortage of aid which. moved because of confrontations between the army and terrorist groups and now we fear the reaction of the people not the government.
7:27 pm

your time and. if you would what's good for you well to marcia know is acting deputy executive director of u.n. aid c says that while such scientists scientific research should be encouraged governments should throw their support behind preventive treatments already available this functional cure as we as we are calling it is obviously a significant step forward when not cleared is obviously a lot of a lot of further work that needs to be done in terms of the past ways and watch what it what is behind that the cure when i was it is further work before we can definitely say there is a full cure. we really want to recognize that there is a lot of other work that is needed to be done to develop a cure and obviously a stem cell transplants are highly complex that significant interventions are not something we can use for the twenty seven million people living with hiv so there's
