after its airforce launched air strikes in pakistan's territory — us through that. taking tensions between the two nuclear armed rivals to a dangerous level. india's government says it has targeted a militant camp belonging to jaish—e—mohammed in balakot, near the disputed border between india and pakistan. theresa may has quelled a potential residents have told the bbc they woke to loud noises. rebellion in her cabinet by offering a vote on brexit if her deal isn't here's one eye—witness. passed in parliament by 12 march. translation: it was around 3am here she is speaking when i heard a huge explosion, we realised later that had been in the house of commons. a bomb blast, then we heard jets flying over, we went to the site in the morning. if the house rejects leaving on 29 there was a huge crater, and four orfive houses had been destroyed. march without an agreement on future one of our relatives who lives framework, on m march, the there got injured in the blast. government will bring forward a india says it was in revenge motion on whether parliament wants to seek a short, limited extension for an attack claimed by thejem to seek a short, limited extension to article 50. and if the house group in disputed kashmir two weeks ago. votes for a n a0 of its troops were killed — to article 50. and if the house votes for an extension, seek to in the deadliest attack on security agree that extension approved by the forces in the region in decades. house with the eu, and bring forward here's india's foreign

the nest —— necessary legislation to secretary speaking today. change the exit day commensurate india struck the biggest training with the extension. camp of terrorists in balakot. the move is an attempt to avoid a defeat for the government in this operation, a very large on wednesday, when parliament will vote on amendments that number of special terrorists, could see mps taking control of the brexit process. and to counter the threat of as many trainers, senior commanders, as 15—20 pro—eu government and groups ofjihadies, ministers rebelling. so the plan for march now looks who are being trained for action, like this parliament will vote were it eliminated. on theresa may's deal, with some revisions that india has long accused pakistan of supporting militants in kashmir — are still being negotiated a charge pakistan denies. with the eu, by 12 march. if it fails, they will vote this was india's minister of state on whether to leave the eu for external affairs message today. without a deal on 13 march, if that fails, they will vote "they say they want india to bleed on whether to extend article 50, with a 1000 cuts. effectively delaying brexit, we say that each time you attack us, be certain we will get back at you, on m march. harder and stronger. however, the eu would still have to grant the extension, salute the brave pilots the uk can't do it on its own. of the @iaf-mcc that carried out the strikes. #jaihind". opposition leaderjeremy corbyn, prime minister narendri modi spoke today at an election rally. said this was another example although he didn't mention of what he has accused theresa may the strike directly — he had a message for pakistan. of doing all along, running down the clock to the brexit deadline of 29 march. here he is in parliament. the prime minister has become quite translation:i want to assure the expert at kicking the people of india that the country

the can down the road. is in safe hands. here's sangita myska in delhi with more on india's response. but the problem is the road so india's foreign secretary vijay is running out, and the consequence gokhale, who is the top of running down the clock civil servant here. today he started his statement are evident and very real by claiming that there are massive training camps, for industry and for people's jobs. capable of training hundreds of jihadists in pakistan administered kashmir. here's rob watson on the significance he said they could not be operating of mrs may's change in tactics. without the knowledge of the pakistani government. he went on to claim that india had it's a big day. the word to describe credible evidence that suicide translation:i want to assure it is delay with a difference. so it is perfectly true that theresa may the people of india that the country has bought herself some more time, but why i say but the difference is he went on to claim that india had we have the three different votes, credible evidence that suicide one on no deal, one on the idea of attacks where about to take place across this country. no deal, and one on the idea of a he said as a result, india had no option but to launch what it called delay. i should say this, she's done the nonmilitary preemptive strikes. that in order to try to keep a that's india's perspective. pakistan though says india's rather divided government story is exaggerated — and denies that the air strikes have caused any damage, or casualties. conservative party that bit longer. pakistan's army spokesman says but i think it is a change of tactic indian planes hit an empty area. and set of strategy. and i think it he put these photos on twitter to back up that claim. is amazingly important to understand that theresa may pause my ultimate these are apparently trees that were damaged. here's a bit of the payload. goal is what has always been, to get prime minister imran khan called the attack

"irresponsible indian policy". mps to get the back the deal or he released this statement something like it that she has after an emergency meeting today. already agreed with the eu. and "the indian government has whether that comes in the form of a resorted to a self—serving, reckless and fictitious claim....putting regional peace and stability at grave risk." vote on 12 march or injune, that pakistan's foreign minister remains to be seen. whether she can get there, that's another matter. i is threatening retaliation. don't want anyone to think this is a change of strategy or goal, but india has committed uncalled for aggression, to which pakistan tactics. what does she think will shall respond at the time and place make getting that vote on 12 march of its choosing. any more likely, considering the margin that she lost it by back in asif farooqi from bbc urdu has more on pakistan's december? i think she's hoping for reaction from islamabad. two things. one, she will get the pakistanis have already something from the eu that makes it completely denied that any sort easierfor her to sell. of militant activity was or is taking place something from the eu that makes it easier for her to sell. number two, anywhere in pakistan. the right of her party, the enthusiastic pro brexit tears, and i there was a seminary or a religious guess she's hoping that they will think to themselves they don't like school ran by mohammed in punjab, this deal, but on the other hand, which was taken over the talk of delays and extensions to by the pakistani authorities last the talk of delays and extensions to the brexit process, it they should week, after india said that mohammed was involved in these just bank this and leave on 29 types of attacks. march. i have to say that the

so clearly, pakistan is not response that's come so far from admitting at all that any sort those brexiteers is that they will of militant activity is taking not panic or vote for this deal if place, hence they cannot take action against the group unless india they don't like it, because they don't seem to be too worried about a provides information or evidence delay. and the reason they're not that that group has been involved worried about the delay is that it in attacks inside india. merely postpones the cliff edge. they still think it's possible to kashmir has been a flash point get a no deal, maybe not on 29 in fighting for decades — march, but maybe at the end ofjune and is claimed by both pakistan if it comes to it. rob, stay with us and india in its entirety. although the two sides do as we figure out what the labour frequently shelll each other — this is the first time that india has sent warplanes into pakistan's airspace since the two party says. this is from the shadow were at war in 1971. a lot is at stake. brexit secretary... the labour party both countries are nuclear armed — and violence threatens to destablise the whole region. china's been a supporter of pakistan but struck a more neutral tone today. leader brought it up in parliament a here's the foreign little bit earlier today. the prime ministry spokesman. minister's botched deal provides no certainty or guarantees for the translation: pakistan and india are two important future, and was comprehensively countries in south asia. rejected by this house! we cannot maintaining good relations and communication between the two sides is conducive to regional

peace and stability. risk our country's industry and translation: pakistan and india are two important people's livelihoods. and so if it countries in south asia. and it is fundamentally in line with the interests of both india and pakistan. china hopes the two sides somehow does pass in some form at a could exercise restraint, and take measures to stabilize the regional situation later stage, we do believe there and improve bilateral ties, must be a conference or a public vote to see if people feel that's instead of doing the opposite." what they voted for. how important, broad, is this from labour on the the humanitarian crisis continues in venezuela. over the weekend, deadly clashes matter of another potential broke out in border towns referendum? potentially, buti as president nicolas maduro blocked matter of another potential referendum? potentially, but i don't thinkjeremy corbyn has suddenly become some enthusiast for a second humanitarian aid from crossing from colombia and brazil — vote. not all, i don't think a and the us announced more sanctions on venezuela's government. lifelong euro sceptic is keen at all, i think this is far more about right now in new york, party management within labour. we the un security council is holding an emergency meeting on venezuela — we re party management within labour. we were talking about parity manager in at the request of the united states. the conservative party, jeremy corbyn is rather anxious to stop any nada tawfik is there. defections from pro—eu mps or pro—eu what's been said so party activists. but i think here is far at the meeting? where it may count. if we go to this the united states is really trying idea of a possible extension, to continue its campaign of theresa may will clearly be hoping pressuring the madera regime both

what she hopes now, that mps will politically and economically, so in panic and eventually support her the counsel of the united states, deal. but there's also the chance the counsel of the united states, the rest special representative that once you've sorted broken the again called for a free fair and taboo of not leaving on 29 march, transparent elections. he also urged then maybe british politics can members tojoin transparent elections. he also urged members to join the united states change in ways that right now seem transparent elections. he also urged members tojoin the united states in sanctioning government officials and very unpredictable. and maybe that those who are involved in violence over the weekend, and he accused the i'd idea of a second referendum seem nicolas maduro government of more possible now, and the fact that politicizing aid, withholding a the main opposition party is moving crucial medicine and food from those towards 80 of a second vote could who need it, and instead giving it come into play then, even though it to his supporters to maintain power. is far more about party management, on the other hand though, we heard andi is far more about party management, and i think it's worth stating again from those who are split with the there is at this point no majority united states on this issue, like in parliament for a second vote. rob watson. russia and china, russia has spoken in just a few hours, kim jong—un in the council, saying that the and donald trump will meet face united states is just trying to to face for a second time. both leaders have already arrived in vietnam ahead interfere in venezuela's domestic of a two—day summit. mr kim was the first to arrive affairs, and basically accusing the on tuesday morning after a two—day united states of using aid to do journey from pyongyang in his heavily armoured train. that, saying if the united states a red carpet was laid out for him was so concerned about venezuelans, at dong dang border station. then they should provide aid to the

he was then driven to hanoi, united nations, who is operating in where heavy security and flag—waving the country. given that the security crowds were waiting for him. later, mr trump flew council is split between the us on in to hanoi on air force one. one side china and russia on the here you can see his motorcade other, what is the likelihood of entering the jw marriot hotel anything coming out of this meeting. with people gathered outside waving american flags. people across hanoi have been it is interesting, because i had at the meeting, special representative abrams said that the united states preparing for the two leaders visit. will push this week for a resolution that and earlier, the us secretary will call for humanitarian aid to be of state mike pompeo met his vietnamese counterpart ahead allowed into venezuela. now, russia of the summit. has already proposed a rival draft trump is staying at the jw expressing concern about marriott hotel, while mr kim interference in venezuela's domestic affairs, so as you say, very is staying some ten kilometres away unlikely that russia would support at the melia hanoi hotel that resolution, and of course russia and china are veto wielding in the city centre. that also happened to have been members, so again, i think this is booked by the white house more of the united states attempt to for the travelling press corps. so just before mr kim's arrival, put additional pressure on the press were told they would be venezuela, rather than really moved to a separate site. believing that a resolution will this tweet from the vietnamese succeed in the council. thank you government, complete with three megaphone emojis, very much.

confirmed the switch. meanwhile, a team from us broadcaster univision was detained details of the summit schedule inside the venezuelan presidential palace after an interview are sketchy but mr trump is expected with president nicolas maduro. to meet mr kim for a brief the six—member crew was released after almost three hours one—on—one conversation on wednesday but their recording equipment evening before having dinner together with their advisers. and personal belongings ahead of their meeting, haven't been returned. mr trump appeared to be managing expectations, here's the team being saying he was in "no rush" to press deported this afternoon. for north korea's denuclearisation. this is journalistjorge ramos showing some of the footage he filmed in venezuala — he says that's what sparked the incident. we see i die, i believe, but you'll be seeing more and more over the next couple of days, one way or the translation: i showed nicolas maduro of some youngsters eating from a rubbish other. what's going to happen? i can't tell you. i think it might, truck, he did not make it. but i don't want to rush anybody, i he tried to finish the interview, and he got just don't want to test it. as long up and left, at that moment i told him that's as there's no testing, we're happy. what dictators do, not democrats. soojin park is a public policy fellow in residence at the woodrow wilson centers history, stay with us on outside and public policy programme source, still to come.. and asia programme. australia's highest ranking catholic figure, cardinal george pell, has been found guilty of sexual thank you so much forjoining us. offences against children. firstly, how closely is south korea watching this summit? thank you for having me. a soul is

very much interested and hopeful in the outcome of the hanoi summit, facebook has taken down the far right activist tommy robinson's official page and his instagram because a lot depends on the peace profile for violating regime as well as the duty nuclear station process. so the hopes are its policies on hate speech. the former english defence league high with some jitters, but i think leader was deemed to have engaged in what it called "organised hate". amol rajan reports. they are rather optimistic. i'm wondering if there have actually thank you every single one been any material changes in things of you for turning up today. tommy robinson has mastered since these leaders met back injune of last year? in terms of material the art of social media. changes, i don't think we can have any specifics that we can show at stephen lennon, to use his real the moment. but what has been name, is a far right activist, who claims to have been silenced established since the first summit by the mainstream media. so he turned to digital platforms, is that the two sides were able to such as twitter, facebook, and google, and youtube, agree on the end state and the two valley activists and spread his message of anti—islamism, and a war against liberal elites. except now, he's being silenced and some of those places too. goals, the basic pillars. so what is nearly a year after twitter banned him, and having at stake now is to see if that can received a final warning, facebook and its partner instagram, be fleshed out with a specific road today permanently banned him. map with details specific, actions in a blog post, facebook said, when ideas and opinions to be taken including a timeline. across the lane and amount to hate

i'm wondering if you think there's speech that will create an environment of intimidation been more intense preparation, and and exclusion for certain groups in society, in some cases this is been more print —— meticulously prepared for than the with potentially dangerous last time around? basically it is offering applications, we take action. the same approach, a top—down approach of the leaders of the two —— off—line. tommy robinson's facebook page has repeatedly broken these standards. sides actually becoming the lead posting material that uses dehumanizing language and calls negotiators. but what is so for violence, targeting muslims. different this time is that we have tommy robinson said again today that a corrupt media and establishment a new representative from both were trying to silence him. sides, special representative from there are some libertarian journalists who disapprove of robinson, but disapprove of banning him even more. the us and from the north korean i think it's a terrible idea side. and based on special for facebook to ban tommy robinson, not because i think the guy has got good views, but because it representative beacon's speech at censorship, and free speech has sta nford representative beacon's speech at stanford a few weeks ago, there to be with now it's and no bites. seems to have been a shift in the us you've given him a gift in banning him, meet him into a free—speech martyr, and he absolutely does not deserve that position. sta nce seems to have been a shift in the us stance regarding denuclearization the internet is a big place, and the process. there seems to have been a little bit more flexibility tommy robinson seen here protesting outside the bbc in salford inc. . is it possible to even say on saturday has colonised a chunky corner of it, though his reach is diminished which leader stands to lose or gain today, his followers still know where to find him. the most out of this? i hesitate to

amol rajan, bbc news. frame this as who wins or loses. basically this is a deal that is extremely important for both sides this is outside source live especially at this juncture, because from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. britain's prime minister, theresa may says parliament without coming up with a substantive will have a chance to delay brexit deal that is very viable and knowledgeable by all sides, i don't if it rejects her deal next month. think either side gained victory australia s highest—ranked catholic — cardinal george pell — even though we can speculate that has been found guilty of sexually abusing two choirboys while he was archbishop of melbourne. donald trump my say it was a victory. so i think it was very he was one of the pope's closest advisors. .. important for both north korea and he's now the most senior catholic the us to come up with some gains cleric to be convicted of sexually abusing children. here's the vatican's response. that are really substantive and material. one final question, what are the chances in your view of coming out of this with something substantive, as you say? well one this is painful news, that as we are well aware, thing that has been on the table has shipped many people, not only in australia. as already expressed on other occasions,

specifically is that north korea we have the utmost respect for the australian judicial authorities. offered to dismantle their nuclear out of this respect, we have waived the outcome of the appeals process, recalling that cardinal facilities as long as there are corresponding measures. and there have been a lot of negotiations maintains his innocence, between the two sides on what can be and has the right to defend himself until the last stage of appeal. cardinal pell was convicted in december but it couldn't be reported until now, reciprocated. so i think given the because a court ruled it would jeopardise a separate trial on charges against pell that have right corresponding measures, their now been dropped. here's some of the headlines from australian newspapers at the time and here's facility could be shut down, and also the fact that the two sides, based on what i'm hearing, the the headline for tomorrow. declaration of the end of the war as pa rt declaration of the end of the war as part of the process is also in the it was one man s evidence that ended the career of someone once offering. thank you very much for considered a possible pope in waiting. joining us from the woodrow wilson the victim can't be centre in washington. identified and his evidence was given in a closed court, excluding journalists and the public. in a statement he said "we trusted meanwhile dutch customs officers are investigating whether 90,000 someone we should have feared." bottles of vodka seized from a chinese cargo "it has taken me years to understand vessel were destined for the north korean leader, kim jong—un. the impact on my life." the shipment was intercepted

in rotterdam on friday. louise milligan has been north korea is currently under following this case closely, united nations sanctions, she's the author of cardinal: which include a worldwide ban on luxury items. anna holigan has more details. the rise and fall of george pell. we don't have much of an insight into his evidence because it was the official shipping documents listed china as the freighter‘s given behind closed doors, so the way that evidence is given intended document to make a in these trials in victoria now destination. but then it emerged is that it's completely secret. so unfortunately, all of the other from hamburg ignited the dutch evidence, which you now, tends to doubt what he's customs also served's suspicions it saying is public. was actually headed for the north what he says is not public, korean capital, pyongyang. so the but it is very clear that he must dutch foreign ministry gave the order, the cargo micro cargo was have been extraordinarily believable unloaded, and hidden beneath the in that witness packs, fuselage of an aircraft on board, —— box. they found hundreds of cardboard and from what i know of him, i'm not surprised by that one iota. boxes crammed with russian vodka. pell maintains his innocence and his lawyer has lodged an appeal now the north korean leader, kim against his conviction but sentencing hearings are due jong—un, is famous for his expensive to begin in a matter of hours. it comes just days after the pope taste in things like cars, convened an extraordinary electronics, and alcohol, while many summit of bishops in rome to address clergy abuse. for more i spoke to ben lewis — of his people live in extreme an australian journalist

though, a lot more skepticism, many for all of us, falling particularly hard on those living in northern ireland. some of this is beyond our control. saying as bishops we understand, for example, it talks about the fact simply don't believe that the jury that filling in all the extra forms in this case got it right. many needed for goods to cross borders could cost businesses people believe that george pell was an extra £13 billion. so there could be delays, essentially a victim of a witch there will be tariffs and charges, hunt, and perhaps the poster child perhaps, in the event of a no deal, for all of the problems within the and that could mean a lack of choice when it comes catholic church in australia and to food, higher prices. relation to child abuse. the bank of england today is talking catholic church in australia and relation to child abuselj catholic church in australia and relation to child abuse. i suppose it's hard to overstate just how about the risks to our prosperity. if there is no deal, no transition, senior a figure george powell was in the catholic church, just take us i guarantee you that the path of gdp in our forecast would be materially through how he reached those lower than it is in this forecast, heights. how seriously should while he was considered to be the we take all these warnings? put it this way: just on that hint third most powerful person at the from westminster that we could see vatican, that is really because of a no—deal being delayed, the pound is trading in financial his position essentially as the markets at the highest pope's economic adviser. that didn't level it has for months. necessarily make him all that popular. he was considered to be a head figure particularly when —— when in and... anti—italian in his this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. approach because of the articles he our lead story... wrote a few years ago. so not necessarily a popular archbishop, britain's prime minister, theresa may, says parliament will have a chance to delay brexit but as a cardinal, but at the same time he was hugely influential and

if it rejects her deal next month. at one stage he was considered in—line perhaps to be pope one day. other stories from around the bbc right now... payment, take us through what the latest partial results happens to him now. from the nigerian presidential election show that president buhari there are two separate processes is maintaining his significant lead over his rival, atiku abubakar. era, upcoming a protestant australia, and the next three hours both main parties are accusing they will be back in court for his the other of pressuring sentencing submissions for the trial the electoral commission to rig results. where he was found guilty, he will essentially be trying to say please turn out appears to have been low after saturday 5 vote took place let me stay out of court until a a week later than scheduled. sentencing, he will be appealing that's from bbc afrique. that conviction as i said earlier. these pictures are from the process over here at the the greek island of crete. heavy flooding caused this vatican, at some point they will have to be a discussion as to 111—year—old bridge to collapse. whether he is essentially kicked out the island has seen days of torrential rain of the church entirely, whether he that killed a farmer. is defrocked. that is a secretive roads, buildings, and infrastructure process , is defrocked. that is a secretive process, the vatican is simply not have been damaged and saying if that process has begun some homes evacuated. already, but we understand it firefighters in germany rushed probably want begin until all to save a rat stuck halfway avenues of appeal are exhausted in out of a sewer manhole. the criminal justice avenues of appeal are exhausted in the criminaljustice system. ben the rescue workers said she, lewis from sbs and australia. it was female, had a lot of winter flab and was stuck fast at her hip. a high—profile trial of 12 catalan separatist leaders is now in its third week a full team of firefighters managed at spain's supreme court in madrid. to lift the manhole cover they face charges including and pop the rat free. rebellion and sedition, that's all in connection

with a referendum on independence she was released straight back into the sewer. held in october 2017, that's on our website. and the declaration of independence from spain that followed. it was declared illegal by the spanish government. but the former leader of catalonia's bid for donald trump might want everyone's independence is not in court. carlos puigdemont is now living focus to be on hanoi. in exile in belgium, where he faces arrest if he returns to spain. but events in washington he spoke with the bbc s could overshadow that summit. you'll remember michael cohen, if he returns to spain. the president's former lawyer. so that is a political trial. last year, he was sentenced to three years in prison and that is unbelievable for lying to congress, in the european union. campaign finance violations so of course, i could use that as and tax evasion. but now, he's testifying before a tool for our political fighting. the senate intelligence committee. this is him arriving today for the first of three days of testimony. from his home in belgium, we don't know what he's said today, carlos puigdemont says he's watching it's a closed hearing. the minute—by—minute courthouse event 1,000 miles away in madrid. but this story in the wall street a dozen former colleagues journal claims he'll allege that are in court facing allegations mr trump engaged in criminal conduct of sedition and rebellion while in office. tomorrow we'll find out, against the spanish state. when mr cohen testifies publically. 18 months after the height and the white house press secretary of the catalan independence crisis, the former regional president was forced to release a statement is still on the run and maintains

he was right to flee. adressing the hearing today. it said... i didn't choose to leave comfortable and disappear from the scenario. i asked jane o'brien in washington it's a paradox that i am a free man, how much credibility mr cohen has given his conviction. here living in the european union, and my colleagues are facing trial. that's exactly the point that the white house is trying to make, and a lot of republicans who are supporting donald trump. much of the focus of the trial so far has been because really, what more on whether the catalan government can he tell congress? did in fact fully declare unilateral this is the big question. independence in october 2017. now he has been giving the parliament approved testimony today, he says it's behind closed doors, the declaration of independence, and obviously we didn't execute and it's to senators. and what they are trying the mandatory of the to find out is why he lied. catalan parliament. the last time he testified in 2017, but that declaration is there. he told lies about a real estate do you think a lot and wrestle deal to build a trump tower with your own conscience and regret in moscow, which is odd about not calling elections because there was nothing illegal and doing something else, and not having parliament inherently about that deal declare independence? that was known. my regret is... so why did michael cohen lie? that's the sort of thing that senators are trying to get on 10 october, i was expected to the bottom of today.

at that date to declare and tomorrow, the democratic—led house will try to find out a bit independence for catalonia, more about whether or not and i decided to suspend he was intimidated by donald trump, the effects of declaration. as he alleges over giving testimony. i think clearly that was a mistake. there are some suggestions that and whether or not donald trump you might be monitored. was directly involved in these do you feel like you're being spied on by the spanish state here? payments, hush money payments, we've found two electronic devices to women who claim to have had affairs with him before he was president. under our two cars... now michael cohen has implicated just outside? trump at his court hearings, yes, and that is under investigation but it has been suggested that he may now provide from the belgian justice. additional evidence, so that's curiously, the numbers of that sim what we are waiting for tomorrow. card came from the united kingdom. jane, just remind us what kind of role michael cohen played so we will see what we find. in donald trump's life before this point? the spanish government michael cohen famously said once that he would take says carlos puigdemont a bullet for donald trump. he was his fixer, he's not a lawyer, russia's military tribunal has but he was extremely jailed two men for treason and spying for the united states. close to donald trump. sergei mikhailov was one of them. he was the deputy head of russia's security service —

the fsb and was apparently led out and as the word "fixer" might of these offices with a bag suggest, he made things go away. over his head in a dramatic so he has been convicted arrest two years ago. anti—hacking expert — of eight felony counts, ruslan stoyanov — was arrested while working for this cyber he will be starting a jail sentence security giant , kaspersky. for three years next month, details of the criminal case against the men have been and the feeling is that he knows shrouded in mystery. an awful lot about some both are said to have given sensitive information to foreign of the shadier aspects intelligence services. of donald trump's previous russian media call it one existence, and therefore poses quite of the biggest espionage scandals in years. a threat to the president now. this russian newspaper claims mr mikhailov was paid $10 million dollars to hand over information elon musk is in trouble again for tweeting. to the us security agencies — this is the tweet in question. including the fbi. but mr musk was forced to correct here's olga ivishina from bbc russia speaking to me that in a subsequent about the case earlier. tweet to "deliveries estimated about 400k". these two guys who were arrested dave lee is here to explain. backin these two guys who were arrested back in the end of 2016 at beginning of 2017, the reports differ. they why the fuss about these tweets? the we re of 2017, the reports differ. they were accused of state treason, and other court has found him guilty of fuss about the tweets is that they that treason. one of them, a colonel contain information that the sec

of the russian counterintelligence believes was new information, and service. he got 22 years in prison. therefore that was useful to the the other gentlemen, he used to work markets and could have affected tesla's stock price. now this for comparison key security lab, relates mostly to something that that's antivirus company that deals happened last year where elon musk with it security, he got 1a years in joked that he would take tesla prison. there are two more people on trial, but they agreed that they private. after that happened, tesla's stock price raise sort of pledged guilty, and they dramatically, and as a result, elon agreed to co—operate with and the musk was punished by the sec, he had investigation, that's why it's a to step down as chairman of the separate case now. what specifically company, paying a fine of $20 have they been found guilty of doing? state treason. you know we don't million, and crucially agreed that any million, and crucially agreed that a ny tweets million, and crucially agreed that any tweets like that in the future had to be preapproved by a special know any details because that case panel within tesla. and what has was heard behind closed doors, because it's a question of national happened with these latest tweets is security. there were some leaks, that elon musk has acknowledged that russian newspaper citing their he did not get approval to send that sources reported that this is tweet, which is why the sec now say connected to the issue dating back he has breached that agreement and wa nts a he has breached that agreement and wants a court to hold him in to 2011, and thus applied some co nte m pt of wants a court to hold him in contempt of that order, which could intelligence to the us about some

have some very big repercussions. contempt of that order, which could have some very big repercussionsm russian hackers. actually, there are there speculation that elon musk‘s rumours that this correlates with days could be number and it has a? trump's allegations, that actually these guys gave us information about it certainly raises an interesting prospect. at the extreme and of it, he could go to jail, which is russian who stood behind the russia something that is a possibility, although lots of experts in this attem pts russian who stood behind the russia atte m pts to russian who stood behind the russia attempts to steal e—mails of the area of spoken to say that it's a democratic party, but this has not very unlikely outcome. what could be been proved by anybody. these are just rumours that,, well not more probable is that elon musk is rumours, butjournalists forced to step down as chief just rumours that,, well not rumours, but journalists citing anonymous sources. they talk about executive of tesla, and that could it, but we weren't able to independently prove these reports, have big ramifications because tesla isa have big ramifications because tesla is a company that is tied very and moscow officially denies all closely to the persona of its ceo, allegations concerning russian participation in the 2016 us elon musk is seen as a pioneer in election. right, you are saying that the speculation about this case, the electric vehicle industry. and although it is very hard to get much of the company buys back money confirmed details, plays into the has come in as a result of people whole wider situation, allegations believing in that vision of his, so of packing, and interference between the idea that he could no longer be the us and russia. allowed to run tesla could have a so, the us security services where serious impact on the long—term quite solid with their allegations. success of tesla. thank you very the evidence they've got and much, dave.

presented to the president, to the the bosses of seven of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies congress, to their allies in nato are giving evidence at a us senate for example seems to be quite solid, hearing on high because everyone sort of agreed with prescription drug prices. they include the bosses of giants it. you cannot get that easily, so such as pfizer, merk, astrazeneca, and sanofi. it. you cannot get that easily, so samira hussain is in new york. it must be something behind it, and many people say, many people cite their sources saying it must be someone in the russian security services who gave man this tell us what's been said? to give information. before we go you an idea of how complicated the system is here, one spender spent let me show you some the whole time he was allotted, five stunning pitures from this year's underwater photographer of the year awards. this one by richard barnden's the winner. minutes —— senator, how infected it shows the moment a pack of grey reef sharks catch drug prices are come about here in and devour a parrotfish. the united states. and even though eduardo acevedo took this photo showing a loggerhead turtle he asked several questions of these entangled in a discarded plastic fishing net. drug manufacturers, he walked away without a real clear sense of how just time to show you one more. drugs are actually priced in this scott portelli captured this group country. so that really gives you a of whales and dolphins moving at high speed off sense of just how the coast of tonga. country. so that really gives you a sense ofjust how entrenched and complicated the system is, even for look for those on our website, we will be back at the same time lawmakers who are able to try on how to make this betterfor tomorrow. lawmakers who are able to try on how to make this better for its constituents. why are they holding hello, thanks forjoining me.
