a yes no nike ever since i heard the pilot was captured by pakistan i've been praying for his return to india that's all i wanted damn anwar yeah i'm so happy now what he called yeah as a captive in pakistan i've been undone became the face of surging tensions between the rivals the disputed kashmir region once again edging the nuclear neighbors to the brink of war the latest escalation began two weeks ago when forty indian troops were killed by pakistan based militants and. news of a benign duns release described as a gesture of peace by the pakistani prime minister was also welcomed in pakistan. on humanitarian grounds and under the geneva convention pakistan had to hand him over to india we did so quickly to show the world we respect human rights and. does

hope now on both sides of the kashmir conflict that the pilots released will be enough to calm tensions. a welcome how was a wink about. welcome what was that like. well for india if we had to do it for being commando and then by the mons welcome to welcome him back into the country information was trickling in all the time from last evening five pm local time but pakistani prime minister cameron khan was to made his statement saying the pilots would be released late last evening while india had aust for the pilot to be flown back to new delhi pakistan confirmed that they would be sending the pilot back over the border and all day today there was actually a wait at the border two of the difficulties were collected there and he actually eventually came through five hours later than expected the reports are that this

was because of documentary d.v.d.'s and procedural d.v.d.'s but of course when he did step across the border at about nine twenty pm local time a hero's welcome to him nonetheless and of course members of the indian armed forces were dead agree to much the border and many public figures and many on to the civilians in india reject him on social media and with dogs all across to it as well so definitely a long day for indians but one with which ended in their wanting manno and despite this gesture of peace from pakistan there is still shelling along this border between the two countries in kashmir that this line of control. well the term gesture of peace was what imran khan the prime minister of pakistan used but india is not seeing this as a gesture of peace india seeing it to stand abiding to the geneva convention and of course while this release off this pilot does deescalate the immediate tensions

that have been building up over the last three weeks the fishmeal issue is far from resolved as you mentioned firing along the line of control which is the de facto line that divides india out in the me from pakistan administered kashmir does still continue today earlier this evening before military personnel were killed once again in another encounter in the cup lot of district of fishmeal so the valley is still fraught with tension tensions continue india alleges that pakistan is not doing enough to combat terror pakistan of course denies this so even the immediate tensions me have come down a solution is still far from say ok you but that this has been going on for decades now and they're still shooting at each other what do you think is going to happen next in this crisis. well phil it's hard to say at this point what exactly can be expected next also important to understand that there's a lot of political pressure on each side india is heading into

a general election very soon and there was a lot of pressure on prime minister nuri and more the to act in an emphatic manner after the dead attack there was an expectation of a strike from india's and that was delivered however to step back from this war mongering sentiment all from this kind of boy perceived meant making would be politically and in advised move politically even today we heard from mr modi making grand statements in an election rallies so i it does seems very unlikely for these talks to start off maybe the next government whatever comes in might have a better solution at hand mr drives well in delhi thank you. police in somalia's capital mogadishu say the almost twenty four hour gun battle with extremists is over special forces are reported to have killed all of the al shabaab fighters who were besieging the you know who besieged in a building next to the hotel they bombed on thursday night causing the heavy
