week's attack the deadliest in decades pakistan has recorded on a boy from india amid rising tensions joins me now from delhi is our correspondent nimish i just like you michel firstly what's the latest you can tell us tell us about the fighting in kashmir where indian forces have been exchanging fire with militants while i'm about it has been confirmed that at least four members of the indian security forces happy lost their lives in an overnight encounter there but scouted out in the pool of ahmed that's just a few kilometers from where the actual terror attack on the fourteenth of this month took place there are also reports coming in that at least two would analysts have been killed they are reportedly the boy involved in the attack of the fourteen one of them is in fact considered to be a drop it or mohammad monder masood are both as well as another terrorist tool the reports of him being killed who was actually a top i operate or so this is the first strike back from the indian side after
3:03 pm
following this attack and this has happened in full bomb and pushed me out of the diplomatic pressure is growing on pakistan islamabad this record it's high commissioner from delhi they do see this heading. well i'm a thought it is worth noting that ties between india and pakistan have been strained and started clearly and this abuse the communication between the two countries increases are going to create a recording to the kind of environment that it's heavily influenced by what's happening in kashmir now there was a major attack on the army back in twenty sixteen as well and over the last one a half years that i have been very strange after the imran khan government came to bars in pakistan even the national security advisor in pakistan that position does not exist anymore and that was one of the key channels of communication all of the channels have been very have been very undermined by this and now that india up pressing pakistan to be isolated internationally the country has been downgraded
3:04 pm
from a most favored nation status which gives it trade benefits and there are many other a call that india is making to be international community to designate for example muscles as a you and doesn't need a terrorist so it is definitely a dot of pressure in pakistan to act and to draw all of the of the about that also shows that communications are going to be strained if not completely shut down and at the public level in english or the outrage in india is also playing out against muslims in the country with people being beaten up and threatened what can you tell us about that. again i'm above these reports are conducted but there is on commission that i knew would support that are saying that many christian students in other parts of the country at least and do steve actually have to lock themselves up to do this outreach now a lot of the outrage that has poured out on the streets has been directed at park upon but because of increases in one militancy in no industry to push me there has been some pushback against people who promised me it's about against people living
3:05 pm
in indian occupied bushmeat as well however there's also a counter-narrative there are many people who come out on crucial media on twitter offering the c.p. have been offering their homes to christian to give to them to kiss me to people outside to push me just in case they feel trapped and so forth are coming in from both sides but there definitely is anger as well. in delhi thank you very much for that update. in britain there is a stitch in the opposition labor party is seven year old makers of confirmed death quitting and will sit in parliament as the independent group the m.p. said they've decided to quit because of party leader jeremy kolbe in support of briggs said and what they say is his failure to stamp out anti semitism in the party a lifelong euro skeptic or been said he was disappointed by the move one of the departing nor makers mike gapes had this to say. i am sickened that the labor party is now
3:06 pm
a racist anti semitic party on furious that the labor leadership is complicit in facilitating brix it which will cause great economic social and political damage to our country. let's go straight and live to london to our correspondent big it must make it seven members of britain's main opposition have resigned from the labor party today of a break that and that's only seven out of two hundred fifty six given that how damaging is the state for the labor party. well first of all it's symbolic damage the fact that so many m.p.'s have been for actually a long time been very critical of jeremy corbyn and his leadership of the labor party have been extremely critical of his stands on bragg's it as well it's a symbolic well tainting really obvious leadership they are hoping to do something that's more centrist to the to the right of jeremy cauldrons leadership of the
3:07 pm
labor party and one to also encourage other piece to come on their side so it really depends what they are able to achieve and if they are able to work to go together with other peace on issues such as brags that for example it will depend on the sort of maybe cross party work that they were able to achieve what they can really and concretely change in british politics so we heard mike gapes there very strong words from him so apart from symbolic damage to the labor party what else are these seven departing m.p.'s hoping to achieve. well what they really are tackling in the next few weeks is for sure briggs if we have to go muna who is one of the big spokesman of the people's vote campaign which is a cross party campaign so this is the issue that they have been also most frustrated with in the last weeks been
3:08 pm
a lot of criticism one of the. bag has faced a lot of abuse she's she's a she's a jewish m.p. she's also eight months pregnant and still managing to to form a new party together with other colleagues who are pretty amazing in itself but she had to fight back a lot of what she says anti semitic abuse online a lot of that and those are the two main well criticisms of jeremy corbin's leading of the labor party that this is become very much they say something like a sect and and two left wing and they want to do something that's more centrist and as such reaching out to other members of the british parliament. a big of mass in london thank you very much for that live update from there. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world and we still with britain a panel of british lawmakers has accused facebook of deliberately breaking privacy

3:10 pm
esteban gonzalez sponsor they've not been provided with a reason for the expulsion. there is new friction in transatlantic relations over the fate of european nationals captured fighting for the so-called islamic state in syria in a tweet us president donald trump threatened to release some eight hundred s. fighters unless europe puts them on trial germany says it will work with france and britain in response to u.s. demands to repack create the extremeness. yes jihadists on the march in syria these images from the fall of rock in twenty fourteen. islamic state has since been defeated here and across nearly the entire country many fighters are dead and more have been taken prisoner recently the u.s. backed kurdish led syrian democratic forces or s.d.f. besieged the city of backcross the last remaining iowa stronghold the kurds say
3:11 pm
hundreds of foreign fighters remain in kurdish prisons their wives and children live in camps in northern syria the s.d.f. have long complained that european states are refusing to take back their own citizens u.s. president donald trump has echoed those concerns and has even threatened to release the jihadists he tweeted the united states is asking britain france germany and other european allies to take back over eight hundred isis fighters that we captured in syria and put them on trial the caliphate is ready to fall the alternative is not a good one and that we will be forced to release them europe hasn't yet come up with a clear response over the future of foreign fighters and their families. repatriation and i as fights as would only be possible if it could be guaranteed that these people could immediately be prosecuted and also detained upon arrival in other words you need information to do that you need to investigate those procedures as long as that is not the case i would find it extraordinarily difficult to carry out
3:12 pm
. this i guess militant from germany is being held in a detention center in syria like others he'd like to return home but berlin hasn't said what it intends to do with him also unclear the fate of the fighters wives some of them say they don't regret joining the terror group but now wish to return i don't regret it because. it's changed me in the past. so. you know the right of my husband i wouldn't. have my kids. i did have a good time to sit there and. take him. to prosecute or rehabilitate the question of how to deal with returning fighters and their families will remain a major challenge for european countries. i do discuss this challenge you have with me do you have any correspondent found up in just one welcome center now does donald trump have is he making
3:13 pm
a fair point when he says captured is fighters should face trial in their home countries if they come from europe european countries should take them back i'm not so sure that twitter is the right way to communicate complicated foreign policy issues but yes he does have a point because frankly why should it kurdish militias controlling the northeastern part of syria be left alone with the problem of foreign fighters you know it's not a state entity it's not their citizens if we want to use this term and if we look at figures i mean yes those eight hundred fighters but we're also talking about class six hundred women plus one thousand two hundred children and of course those children you know they haven't done anything wrong so i think europe needs to you know basically come to a conclusion of how to go about it just shying away saying this is a very complicated issue i think that's too easy so tell us more about the reaction from european officials especially france germany britain to donald trump's demand
3:14 pm
that europe should take these people back they all sound very much alike if you ask me we have seen our german foreign minister. basically saying it's very difficult to realize because we need paperwork you know people my claim we are german citizens in fact they are not and if you take them back of course you don't just want to release them you want to maybe investigate them you might want to put them on trial and in order to do so some paperwork needs to happen in syria and all the european nations say we don't have functioning embassies there so who is going to be the one doing all the paperwork but on the other hand it's also i think an argument of shying away because it's an argument where you can say unless that is sorted out we are not taking responsibility and we are going to leave the kurdish allies and they were our. allies in the fight against islamic state alone with a problem so notify hurdles then especially if the european countries say how do we
3:15 pm
prove that the us citizens of our country so how do you see this issue being resolved well with this afternoon i think the european foreign ministers would have a chance because they needs and they are talking about precisely this issue as well as they address the syrian conflict i think i would like to take up an issue that was brought into the discussion by nobel peace laureate herself one of those. who were persecuted by islamic state in slave to being a sexual slave and she said look shouldn't we basically think about the idea of an international court where these people are tried of course all of that would also need to be sorted out and maybe the right way of going about it is the international crimes court or you know a united nations special tribunal as we have seen in other cases i think that might be an idea but that doesn't address the issue of women and children who are basically now in camp tents in northeastern syria and as i said especially those children about one thousand two hundred they haven't done anything wrong and i
3:16 pm
think european nations should act quickly on this one right centerpiece and thank you very much for your insights a speech activist has been fined for carrying not to protest on board an aircraft in july last year student and so on managed to halt the deportation of projective asylum seeker she was successful at the time although the man was later deported on another flight today she discovered the consequences for action. airport in sweden it was from here in july twenty eighth seen that a turkish airlines aircraft was shuttled to depart for istanbul on board a rejected asylum seekers being deported to afghanistan and swedish student l n s and seeking to stop the flight she broadcast her mission live from her smartphone. there and there's a person getting their phones and it's yet again it's been placed inside my phone don't touch my phone and the people here were are trying to take my phone away from

3:19 pm
square victoria and her friends were out in the streets in front of their makeshift headquarters again no no no i didn't immediately understand what was happening suddenly there was an explosion a lot of light suddenly everything went blurry and i was out. an improvised grenade covered in scrap metal and shards of pottery had exploded at her feet victoria suffered more than fifty flesh wounds but she couldn't go to hospital because police were arresting for testers in the wards. instead she ended up in an improvised field hospital in the smaller street her parents still had no idea she was in q let alone indeed that is until ukrainian t.v. crew appeared. here below much to my face was covered in bandages so that no one would recognise me but one of my mum's friends recognised this birthmark on my neck in the t.v. report that's how our parents found out. meanwhile tensions were increasing further as protesters began a counter-offensive drawing of

a closer to the government district police change their tactics and live ammunition came into play. casualty numbers were rising fast and soon dozens of protesters were being killed every day among them was all excited look up you know it's better before all the shooting got under way he came up to me one morning and put his arms around me and said go home you don't have to be here. i'm going to put in the time i by the end of the week more than a hundred people have lost their lives images like these. went around the world present in a coach's position become untenable within days he was gone to russia. five years on from the my down does victoria still think the protests had a last impact on the country. i see all the changes these are changes we really need this country is finally being built yes maybe not as fast as we had hoped or
3:21 pm
expected but it's happening with many even a form of protest to say it was all in vain two months protesting and they thought they'd wake up in a new european country with better wages that's not how life works. let's turn to football or soccer if you prefer and the latest round of wonderfully matches it's my great pleasure to welcome to talk of the sports says welcome and of course you want to talk about what's happening at the top of the windows legal but first that's by and dortmund but first at south what was a big match up on sunday we had two european hopefuls go head to head against frankfurt and both are having solid seasons but frankfurt a bit in a dilemma because they've been minnes in the last five games and it's been basically one frustrating draw after another after another after another was a sig zakk same story yesterday why don't we take a look. dominated the early going torgan as firing
3:22 pm
a warning shot in the eighth minute frankfurt allowed back to create a series of chances in its second forcing kevin trapp to make his best save of the first half. frankfurt didn't even fire on target until the thirty ninth minute for the cost each denied by yawns umma then with the last kick of the first half danny de costa to open the scoring for the hosts i cost a controlling unit time to go as man's corner and hitting the target. after that i instruct gave blood back few opportunities on terror a bit almost made it to nil his shot going just why i frankfurt seem to be running out of steam though and to zacharie have pounced on a defensive blackout to pull the sides level i try getting the hands of the ball but on able to stop it i said dream it should have netted the winner for gladbach as time expired but he bounced the ball over the net one won the final score and
3:23 pm
both sides will be feeling they missed a chance to come away with more. and leave a look at what may have a cause and they also hoping for a spot in the european or european spot him out of the game turn out best way to describe right now is to call it the pick up os effect we saw this last season and thought where bosch really you know he gets his key team's going to have a really great start to the season but we have to be a bit careful because we don't know how this is going to end and you know what credit to bosh i mean the team has really adapted to his attacking style football but you know what why don't we take a look at this pick up bosh effect that everyone seems to be talking about right now. to grow all seems greener on the paper ball so once again through the kitchen sink at his opposition five attacking players started for the. and it showed in the eighteenth minute hobbits completely on march of the one male strike having fallen
3:24 pm
had moved out wide to find the young german for his night of the season. leave accusing continued to press aggressively and could have had a second before the break but not for a last ditch tackle than kevin fall and saw the finishing. ball said clearly told his charges to keep on shooting mitchell visors effort from an unlikely position gave me on paid leave a chance to pounce after a goalless start to the season he has now school two in three matches the two nil when c's live accusing climbs of fifth and stay on course for another top six finish while fortuna can afford to drop points after an impressive run and seemed happy enough in defeat. to so even later on dortmund play a new gym bag and the top at the bottom of the bundesliga but don't want all those at the top they haven't had it quite so easy lately have they know they really have to stay on the high end because by an eye catching up they have closed the gap to
3:25 pm
two points and for daughter i mean they win this in the last four games this is really one of those things that don't meant they need to catch themselves before they fall because you know this could really turn into something very serious. enough. is seen around the world including the stomach republican off. but the fans that couldn't watch the match the other night for a reason tell us what that is so it remains to television they have really strict rules when it comes to censorship so women for example you know in shorts that's something that's and be honest i know of course as we all know is the first woman referee in the top football leagues and that was always going to be a problem because you know she wears black shorts and a t. shirt she's blond hair as though she stands out right there in black and last season went by and played cologne you know they ended up blowing out and close up shot of shine house and i think that was too much work for them because can you
3:26 pm
imagine this moving object and i think this time around they decided let's just not show the game at all which of course sucks if you're by and fan in iran actually just don't take you to say anything more except to say a leader who turned from did. if you're just joining us you're watching news coming to you live from here's a recap of our top story officials in indian controlled kashmir say four soldiers and two militants have been killed in a firefight indian forces were trying to capture the attackers behind a suicide bombing last week that killed at least forty thought on that military personnel daily been spotted the militants from the group. coming up next to the news the saudi crown prince a arrives in pakistan bearing gifts but how. in the neighboring india amid
