this is. sometimes you have to. ask u.s. presidents. for this particular visit with.

the north korean leader. to sanctions. achieved. over kashmir. the captured in. the program we begin with some breaking news israel's attorney general says he plans to indict prime minister benjamin netanyahu on charges of corruption mr netanyahu will first have a chance to speak against the charges at a procedural hearing the decision follows more than two years of investigations into allegations of bribery fraud and breach of trust. it would be the first time

in israeli history a sitting prime minister has been charged with a crime this could potentially and his political career and also shake up the country's forthcoming parliamentary elections but the netanyahu denies any wrongdoing. so. benjamin netanyahu has been israel's prime minister for ten years he's hoping to get reelected in april. but now his political future is in doubt. last year a special police unit investigated allegations of suspected bribery it recommended netanyahu be indicted in three cases these are known as case one thousand netanyahu and his family are suspected of receiving gifts from business friends. case two thousand covers allegations that attempted to influence the publisher of a daily newspaper to gain more positive coverage and case four thousand and further allegations of quid pro quo for regulatory favors for israel's largest

telecommunications firm that also in exchange for friendly media coverage netanyahu has built his political career on the image of being israel's mr security a month before the indictment polls suggested that he was still the favorite for prime minister for many israelis. however in recent days he's facing strong competition from a new candidate former army chief benny gantz and a new center right party alliance with ya here love paid the blue and white list now to now argues that are pre-election indictment could influence the outcome of the vote he himself has denied all accusations. straight to jerusalem then we joined it up because paul had to tuck their credit welcome back tanya that's such a start with the election a controversial move from the attorney general a so close to elections. yeah you're right i mean this is the timing has been very controversial this netanyahu has said that this is

a political move because of course he feels that this will have impact on this on the elections that are supposed to happen and a poll now of course. i took today could support as he did this said wow you know we look at support us we will support mr netanyahu this is all politicos so i go in and the i'm with mr netanyahu but others are not so sure because they say no he has been there for ten years and now in his prime yes it is actually in uncertainty of what will happen to him and of course we've seen it in the piece as a strong and now i voted for a new alliance to few invite and i and so have been doing very well in the post i had to hit with mr netanyahu and now it's a quest to see whether this document will actually reflect on the next parts that will be certain to be done here in the country so talk us through what happens the next time you have the attorney general says he will indict the prime minister what

next. yeah under legal way this is an intention of indictments so what will usually be seen as start after a couple weeks or a couple of months and this is a very complicated case especially the case parts house and there's more than one suspect now the suspect has a right for proceed to other hearing and with these attorneys and that would probably not happen before the elections it is a very long process ahead but on the other hand we're kind of in uncharted territory so i mean legally a prime minister can continue to be a prime minister until he would be convicted but this has never happened before so it is still to see what that means you know in political terms as well for him how his allies will look at that now and we're also hearing that it will be a toughie especially the knesset session called in to discuss the new developments

i what has mr netanyahu been saying. well he has said all along that this is a hundred and six how many this is all politically motivated and when the announcement was becoming imminent of the attorney general his likud party has put out some. videos already on social media saying this is a political hit job it's a house of cards that will fall you know but fall down so mr netanyahu has said he denies all charges of this but he also we are expecting him to give a statement later tonight from jerusalem thank. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a un investigation has concluded the fish did violate human rights under may have committed war crimes in its response to last year's protests in gaza. israeli snipers targeted people clearly identifiable children health workers and

journalists israel rejects the findings describing them as deceitful and biased. has been reelected president for a second term race by the national vote counting commission to show that you first round right with more than fifty eight percent of the closest one for the just a second to just over twenty percent. has met with the u.s. ambassadors of brasilia ahead of talks with brazil's president of the european countries have recognized us as friends wales legitimate leader he's trying to drum up international pressure president nicolas maduro to step down. the death toll from tuesday's mine collapse on in the need use of the way sea island has risen to at least nineteen people have been rescued emergency workers are trying to reach dozens of people they believe are still trapped. even reported in.

the u.s. president north korea's leader kim jong un have ended their highly anticipated summit in vietnam early and with no agreement positive sentiments from the historic first summit last year of these latest were aimed as agreeing a path to north korean denuclearization and bringing peace to the korean peninsula was the traps those talks broke down after he refused to lift all sanctions against iran in exchange for only partial denuclearization. there was no lunch signing ceremony and president. headed to way from the summit after talks broke off. the hanoi meeting with the second. and he's had with kim jong un after a summit in singapore last year critics called that one big on style and low on substance so this time donald trump was under pressure to deliver results a clear timetable from pyongyang for dismantling its nuclear program for example

from the outset he made it clear that he wasn't going to be rushed. very very much for the beginning that we need is not that important record. and in perhaps the most public commitment to international demands yet a comment from north korea's kim jong un when asked whether he was ready to didn't you clear ice in your building in your generosity and if i'm not willing that that won't be here right. then. it would be the best there for you every but with p.r. nyang pressing its own demands president trump was left to explain why the talks time apart so basically they were all of these sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that. they were willing to do new portion of the areas that we wanted but we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for that so we continue to work and we'll see but we had to walk away from that particular suggestion we had

to walk away from it it was a dispiriting end to a much more until meeting with the sanctions issue still far from resolved it appears the road to disarming north korea will be a long one. i was under far naaman so where do we go from here and as most of us from the institute of korean studies about its free university welcome to d w what's your event what's your take on the events of the last two days well it was quite impressive quite impressive two days but only half successful meetings i would say. only half successful because there was no agreement there was no agreement that they signed it was a ceremony so no substantial outcome but quietly but still successful because the two leaders met now for the second time you could say in seventy years of hostilities. they talked to each other they prepared the summit maybe not

sufficiently enough but still now maybe they have a more sober perspective on each other's demands so if we don't presume this is the end of it and they keep talking absolutely yes this is just another step i mean we would all be much happier if they would have agreed on on substantial things today or yesterday but this is a very complex and very complicated process we're in here and it's not surprising that it takes so long so something that they start ending so abruptly without even begin to know what you expect in the diplomatic exchanges is that ok we didn't agree anything but we could say we could agree at least on what date was on the we had nice food nothing no no statement no nothing what does that tell us that these two leaders are very particular personalities that brought them together. in the first place and it was good but that makes the whole process also more complicated and if obama for eight years pursued strategic of patients

doing nothing now trump has used strategic impertinent impatience if this is better we will see which we've heard from president trump are we likely to hear from a controller. i don't think so maybe indirectly through the wood on sheen monday the. north korean media or indirectly through talks he will have now in vietnam until he goes back on the second of march but i don't think there will be a press conference or a direct statement and that despite this. determination president trump. actually seemed quite optimistic about the future yes and i think it's because of the reason i mentioned just before that he doesn't think the deal is over he just thinks ok this is just another step another round and this is another step yes i was south korea viewing this yeah they had an official statement and of course they were disappointed but also the south korean president when cheney talked to president

trump on the air force one for twenty five minutes or so and president trump asked him for supporting the process in the future and i'm i'm thinking i think i'm sure a president when jean will support the process in the future very actively ok in the media or if we're fickle bunch that when the first meeting happens there always is this is historic but there's been no preparation the second meeting happens and all this is kind of historic let's see what happens then when it it all fell apart as i would say it's a failure do you think we are going to have a third summit at least once the you know maybe even the fourth and fifth this is a very very long term process and support that they need often and they're in between even at that high level u.s. of course now that of course the most important part is on the working level to have more meetings because they weren't sufficiently prepared this time but still they will have in the future another summit ahead like an optimistic point to hand on hand as mostly from the institute of korean studies thank you so much. i mean

well i don't know transform attorney michael cohen is in he's testifying in congress for a third day he's addressing a panel investigating russia's interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election today session is behind closed doors of wednesday's dramatic public hearing during which mr cohen accused the president of being a racist a comment and a cheat he went home to say that mr trump broke the law before and during his time in office like occurrence facing a three year sentence for crimes including lying to congress but insists that this time he's telling the truth as the trump denies the allegations he said mr cohen had lied except for some statements that favor him here's some of what he had to say he lied a lot but it was very interesting because he did lie about one thing he said no collusion with the russian hoax and i said i wonder why he didn't just lie about that too like you did about everything else i read a lot about so many different things and i was actually impressed that he didn't say well i think there was collusion for this reason or that he didn't say that he

said no collusion. and i was. a little impressed by that frankly could have free could have gone all out for pakistan's prime minister says or captured indian fighter pilots will be released tomorrow that's the first of march on current told the joint session of parliament that the move to release a wing commander i've been under the indian air force with a gesture of peace a tensions between the nuclear armed neighbors sought after each carried out ass trucks against each other over the disputed region of kashmir. the conflicts rumbles on overnight artillery shells landed on both sides of the line of control after wednesday's aerial julian ratcheted up tensions further the newspaper splashed on the incident but many details remain unclear pakistan says it shot down two indian fighter jets and published these images to prove its version of events. because it also released this video of a cat she didn't d.n.

pilot the disputed kashmir region has again brought the two nuclear powers to the brink of war the latest escalation began two weeks ago when forty indian police were killed by a suicide bombing in poll. delhi blame the attack on pakistan based group jaya a mohammed india retaliated by bombing what it claims was a militant training camp in the pakistani town of balakot. in delhi patry ontic protests and a saber rattling speech by the prime minister caption the mood. i had one india of iraq. india will groves. why i did run india. i had one. but beyond the bluster neither side wants kashmir to become a battlefield again. in

a bid to deescalate tensions prime minister khan said the indian pilots will be freed. the indian pilot is in our constitution we will release him and return him to india as a peace gesture. islamabad has also said it's received india's files on the suicide bombing pakistan has promised to punish those responsible what they do because while that sort of folly cost covering this from the indian capital delhi joins us on the line welcome so what should we read into this offer from pakistan. well the also has been hugely welcomed here in india you know the capture of this force pilot i mean and then but someone was seen as a major setback you are coming you know just to be off the celebrations here a lot being the unprecedented and a strike by india across the light of the cold in pakistan has captured really bond outrage in the country especially of these images little cleated of a blindfolded man who could be heard requesting water off his cap just that awesome

lot of outrage and then he had been really demanding them immediately of this pilot was being hailed as a hero in india but it's a thing time while writing a welcome is also you know imran khan nodule author of peace talks with india which you need as those having gone down really well because india's position go to me here and they will not sit down and talk with congress on until pakistan shows that it's really serious about cracking down on petrol networks operating on the site. and diminishing she's held a press conference in delhi indian air force chief oggi jacob pool. the pakistani who was a graphic. in disappeared but i hear. although. they were unable to cause any damage.

there ensued one is the pakistani air force bush are known. to anyone by sneaking off. their sixteen and infirm across the line of control in pakistan occupied. sunny follicle in delhi this is a strange conflict and as much as a bear is shooting and fighting but while there is talk of peace more fighting today along the line of control the situation doesn't seem to be calming. that's right i mean that would play skirmishes that up to today along that line of control to be effective for the device is a stupid question. the question you can talk to me and on top even to be safe you know there was some share that was landing in civilian areas. now we have to remember that india and pakistan actually routinely treat for you and beat each

other for stock of fish come on the country and that then. of course it takes on you know much more on the ocean sea in light of these heightened tensions right now between the two new people on neighbors like you know he's a real strike but you get this week the retaliatory attacks by talk which at least take the tension. to it being to the key high level so does it will be running in india remains on high alert so if in doubt i thank you. not eleven activist group is naming and shaming employers it accuses of abusing domestic workers a cold this is lebanon on its active across social media and the debate is for the week about you he's here to tell us more welcome federica so this group says it wants to and what it calls slave like conditions for foreign workers living there in lebanon but what's the truth of this well i mean lebanon along with other

countries in the middle east still has an archaic system in place called kafala and it's a sponsorships that system through which migrant workers are recruited to work in the country usually as cleaners housekeepers nannies and the the problem that many human rights organizations see with the system is that it completely binds these workers to their employer their employer is responsible for their receptor their legal status in the country and that puts the employer in a position to really explore it's the worker and the result is that many migrant workers in lebanon have been reporting ensuring abuse which strangers from them not getting paid to physical abuse sexual abuse sometimes they get their passport confiscated they can't leave the country they can't speak to their families and we can take a listen to some of the voices of these migrant workers themselves take a listen don't know who leaked this and. said this to have two of the most. well.

you might hurt me. oh goodness. and there is an estimated two hundred fifty thousand foreign domestic workers in lebanon working under discussion of the system according to human rights watch the numbers are much much bigger in the whole middle east region ok so now we have this this group called this is leopard they are fighting this issue how they have they are taking a rather radical approach and when a case of abuse is reported to them in the first thing they do is they get in touch with the employer they try to persuade the employer to let say pay the worker or give them back their passport and if that doesn't happen then they take to social media and they really shame the employer and you can take a look here and how they do it they really it's really

a work of naming and shaming they publish the photo for example of this couple link to their facebook profile there's even their phone number they're being published and you know this is a conversation that you can see now on what's up where the group is trying to persuade the employers to pay their workers i mean and we spoke with the founder of the group is called dipendra pretty and he's from nepal he himself was a domestic worker in lebanon he endured abuse for five years he's now in canada and he gave us an example of how they helped a domestic worker from the philippines called how to take a listen what they improve said she's foreign everything's fine and you made of you who probably hollows that was saying i'm fine i don't want all my husband. and i have all i am who i have a live set and i have you have salary and. in

a safe place before i travel i'm going to take the money alternately she crawled back. and then we were to get the old information she couldn't even walk outside one day. and she was locked up and he has no need you some of us for many years and the husband you talk to. see all you did i and the group has successfully they say they have helped more than fifty work and fourteen migrant workers most of them then had to chose to go back to their countries some to somebody i suppose but what why do it this way why take to social media rather than go to the relevant who forces i mean we can take again to the case of the founder of the group depend operatives he was abused by his employer and he was beaten up his passport was confiscated and he didn't get paid and he tried to report this to the authorities and he said he told us that this actually backfired against. you know what it was being done

yeah police and the employer was living in front of me in this became very young sort of young forty in front of me and i was i was luckily by a. process. absolutely not peter and then and then i and then you know consequently i spent six morning detention center and the whole of rather do you want to do you want to live my employee statement. it was only to me not to be you know a statement i don't know whether they like got it thanks a lot or what i tell them because i cannot understand that he's not into the battle at all so from his account and those of other migrant workers it's really hard if not impossible to get justice by and in return also social media seems to be more effective. ok well thanks for bringing the time tension and rick about it thank you . sport not the women's
