to broadcast live direct foresters mosque this is our international thomas glad to have you with us so violence has flared again at the venezuela colombia border over the blockade of humanitarian aid venezuela's government says it is taking preventative actions against foreign intervention. i. i. the turmoil in venezuela is being a heightened by a debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country truckloads of supplies have been amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil over the weekend president maduro has blocked at the.
7:02 pm
deliveries fearing vehicles could be carrying weapons clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and people oil to madeira left at least four people dead over the weekend. in new york the u.n. security council has been meeting to discuss the situation in venezuela u.s. envoy for venezuela elliott abrams has already addressed the meeting calling for more sanctions on caracas russian representative. raised the u.s. history of military interventions and called other countries naive for supporting the u.s. position. madeira and his cronies and some in this body claim that delivering humanitarian assistance is a political show so what took place on saturday was reminiscent not of held but by what the us calls force feeding with apparently having trained on guantanamo prisoners the american authorities decided to force feed the whole country we ask that others join us in sanctioning those who've been involved in the violence over
7:03 pm
the last weekend and stead of a hypocritical attempt to introduce assistance for twenty million dollars it is necessary to lift the blocking of accounts of venezuelan state owned enterprises in american banks which totals eleven billion dollars what about venezuelan gold in great britain washington and london just recently stole thirty billion dollars from the venezuelan people in oil and bank assets a lot of money is owed. to russia and you are no doubt worrying whether that money is going to be repaid i am addressing the countries that have supported the self-proclaimed president one quite oh are you so naive make you think you have immunity from things like this do you think that you will not be next in line i reject from top to bottom accusations of military intervention from a country that is occupying the territory of georgia and ukraine in south upset in a pause here in crimea against the background of what you were doing in venezuela
7:04 pm
your accusations just sound ridiculous art has killed mop and it was following the debate in the security council for us. well as you just heard it was a rather tense atmosphere as we heard from the fifteen members of the u.n. security council addressing the meeting on venezuela now it's important to know that the representative of the united states who took the floor on behalf of the united states as you just saw was elliott abrams and elliott abrams has quite a history in latin america south of the us border apparently was convicted for misrepresenting and essentially lying to congress regarding his that work and support for organizations in nicaragua that engaged in violent terrorism with the intention of overthrowing the sandinista government during the one nine hundred eighty s. elliott abrams was also apparently involved in the shipping in of weapons into nicaragua under the guise of humanitarian aid now the foreign minister of venezuela
7:05 pm
spoke and he pointed out that these humanitarian aid convoys seem to have some rather suspicious content here is what he said. and here we also have trunks and let me tell you that when the truck was inspected there wasn't just food and medicine in the truck there was a quip in for barry keys there was nails. this is what was in the truck nails wire when security forces inspected this is what they found so he was going over the fact that it appears that these trucks supposedly containing humanitarian aid had other content within them content that could have been used for violence and destabilization in venezuela he also brought photographs before the u.n. security council showing and seeming to indicate that essentially these aid trucks that were caught on fire were lit by. an anti venezuelan government activists and he also showed photographs of the various molotov cocktails you know flaming
7:06 pm
bottles that were brought to the event for the purpose of lighting a fire and causing unrest he essentially argued that this was a provoked situation and that venezuela was being provoked on its borders now there were clear divisions in the international community among different countries that addressed the meeting some countries were recognizing the dural as the legitimate president of venezuela as a result of the fact that he was elected over other countries seem to be lending their support to one good way to go and the opposition one way too is now in colombia and he's getting the support the united states and proclaiming himself to be the leader now earlier prior to the meeting we heard from the secretary of the russian state security council who was essentially saying that the united states was preparing a military intervention against the government of venezuela and we heard from elliott abrams the u.s. special representative from venezuela that that he claims this is not true humanly denied what was said by the head of the russian state security council the
7:07 pm
secretary of that state security council in russia so a lot of different information a lot of clashing of words a lot of different views being exchanged clear divide in the international community and we saw that play out very clearly in the halls of the u.n. security council chamber and manhattan as the tensions over venezuela ramp up a political analyst chris bambery shared his thoughts with us on the country's future. well the americas are trying to do is put pressure on the military in venezuela to shift the doura so far that hasn't happened the weakness of the duras position is is that unlike his predecessor hugo chavez feast of the coup twenty years ago which as you call a mass movement that was brutal insurrection in caracas we seem to save him. no more do is almost entirely on the army and the reason that kind of thus far we haven't seen this kind of mass movement coming to his aid so the thousand of
7:08 pm
thousand one dollar question is is what the venezuelan militant will take is he going to continue support would do and if that's the case the potential for civil war personally i'm cynical about the americans intervening directly because i believe the stomach for it in the united states of america the right course to libya and also the sight of american troops in any white american country brings back memories of america's record on that continent. theresa may has told members of parliament they will get a say on whether to rule out a no deal bragg's it and cash crash out of the e.u. a month's time or delay britain's departure vote will be triggered if the commons rejects the prime minister's break that plan next month her offer was met with yet more skepticism from m.p.'s. i've lost count of the number of times the prime minister has come to this house to explain a further kind of voted to end on the certainty of by blocking the deal the
7:09 pm
government. and the prime minister can surely not be unaware of the fear out there in the country about what no deal means my sole focus throughout all of this has been on getting a deal that enables us to leave the european union on the twenty ninth of march with a deal this is a shameful like nothing changed. harder than the fact that some of us who used to sit over there are now sitting over here it is the prime minister's obstinacy that is blocking a resolution it is the right honorable gentleman who has kept no deal on the table by refusing to agree. i will not sit one more day and listen to her crow about employment. where where i live employment is for living and. can only be described as grotesquely reckless
7:10 pm
yeah the world of politics is a fickle circle place take a listen to all the times to reason may insisted that it was her way or the highway the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal all the or no bricks it we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no bricks it at all or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal for as long as we fail to agree a deal the risk of an accidental no deal increases the deal we've negotiated is a deal that almost a referendum on as a result of the referendum and it's the best deal if it indeed is the only deal available any delay is a delay it doesn't address the issue it doesn't resolve the issue i think there is the opportunity to leave with a deal on the twenty ninth of march and that's what we're going to be working on well that was the gist of her message up until as late as last night when she gave
7:11 pm
a press conference in sharm el sheikh but today following a cabinet meeting where is it is she ended up with her back against the wall so reason may has an ounce that she will be holding a second meaningful vote by tuesday the twelfth of march at the latest and then if she loses that vote the government she says will hold another parliamentary vote . and whether or not the house supports no deal to poncho from the e.u. and if we end up in a situation where both to reason may's deal and a no deal scenario have been rejected by politicians in parliament then on the fourteenth of march the government will start the parliamentary process that will approve to reason may refer to as a short and necessary delay to britain's departure from the e.u.
7:12 pm
a delay of around about two months to resume a said and some politicians started saying immediately that this delay such a short delay would simply prolong the kind of chaos that we're seeing now and put off the prospect of a cliff edge no deal bragg's it by simply just a couple of months to resume a's argument is that we can't possibly the u.k. can't be members of the e.u. by the end of june when there will be e.u. parliamentary elections that just isn't an option the u.k. shouldn't be taking part in those if it wants to leave the e.u. to resume a was under intense pressure from some of her own cabinet ministers who were threatening to resign if two reason they didn't accept this option of a delay to bragg's it and jeremy call been the leader of the opposition labor party he's come out with his own brags that announcement and that is that the labor party
7:13 pm
won't support to resume maze of boat plan as jeremy corbin calls it so for all those thinking that this brags it ride would be either way off to the twenty ninth of march well now it could be suspended up in the air until the end of may or if labor gets its way there could be another public vote to potentially cancel the entire thing just another day in the land of bread. that. indian media has reported a heavy exchange of fire between india and pakistan in disputed kashmir and leaving at least five soldiers wounded al-jazeera says additionally that four civilians were killed including two children all seven people have been injured reports of multiple violations of the cease fire line in kashmir came in on tuesday following an airstrike by india a new delhi said it hit a training camp belonging to a kashmir based a terror organization killing three hundred fighters india's foreign secretary says
7:14 pm
airstrike targeted the group mohammad which struck a police convoy earlier this month killing at least forty officers. india has been repeatedly urging pakistan to be action against the month to prevent jihad these from being trained and armed inside pakistan. but has taken no concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely missed the city or the strikes are the first across the defacto border since a war between the two countries broke out in one thousand nine hundred one pakistan condemned the incursion while the military rejected india's claims saying that no infrastructure was hit no casualties reported and pakistan jets forced the indian planes back to their own territory. the pakistani military also shared images of the alleged aftermath of the incident the foreign minister insists his country will
7:15 pm
respond. on all. groups. and producing. what the makes of the story a bit confusing is that there are actually two cities named balakot where the strike occurred one is located along the line of control and that is where the incident happened is according to the pakistani military the other balakot is located more than one hundred kilometers away here's what i presume both india and pakistan have been telling us it's hard to sunny's going to deny that india succeeded militarily because that would be a huge blow to tear it out kristie especially if the military establishment saw in fact did the night that we succeeded in two thousand and sixteen as well when prime minister narendra modi ordered on land to be. surgical strike or special operations
7:16 pm
mission inside the senate territory on both cases the middle point that terrorism be not go unanswered and that's why you want to see these contrasting it comments that i think the situation is very committed to defer to share in the battle of the scene where this indian plane had hit it was empty land it was a lot east because of the shift of the four bombs that did go up there was a nearby mud developing and i think that the gaps are a good one person was injured and that is all what has happened did out move through most of the i don't know bodies but there is all but does the fact that did it is a breach of box on solving anything and pakistan has made it clear that got to go and get it back a body what commander that is a question or that is a guess by anybody the us president has arrived in vietnam where he will meet with north korean leader kim jong il and we'll bring you details after a short break this is our international.
7:17 pm
country's gone into a nihilistic fever i think we've got to hit the road and get out there traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlotte the genius the quintessential american hero this is it we've come to a point on which element is gone so we always are on the bridge of some. culture. oh. we're starting west with. we're going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the bees i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more. we may be completely different but in this.
7:18 pm
join me every day simon sure i'll be speaking to the world of politics. i'm show business i'll see you then. come back this is our two international capital is playing host to a second summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader called trump's plane that landed just a few hours ago while kim arrived a little earlier on tuesday there's hope that they can reach a compromise leading to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula as well as the lifting of crippling sanctions imposed on pyongyang video agency producer. is in no way for us. hopefulness with second summit with kim on
7:19 pm
the horizon trump feels like is on top of the world i do hope that very positive things are going to happen i thing. that it will be a very exciting couple of days what are the feelings mutual well north korea seems to be excited and no wonder after all historic peace opportunity is all that's able some media reports even claim north korean leader kim said this to us top diplomat mike pompei oh i'm a father and husband and i have children and i don't want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on that back their whole life still considering criticism donald trump faces over the summit from opposition at home north korea through its own state media war in the skeptics to not let this is sturrock opportunity be shattered but the summit does not only concern just the washington in pyongyang so how do the other regional neighbors feeling about it. despite the fact japan still several north korean test missiles flying over it is the concern over the outcome
7:20 pm
of the talks after all if a deal is struck it's unclear whether japan's concerns will be addressed what made the situation worse with the allegations that japanese prime minister abby officially requested for trump to be nominated for the nobel peace price in fact i think i can say this prime minister robbie of japan gave me the most beautiful copy of the letter that he sent to the people who give out a thing called a nobel price he said i have nominated you or we specially in behalf of japan. i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that that not colver well what the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction new quinn sort to mid range missile issues not resolved at all i'm concerned that it would give the wrong message to north korea and the international community if we accept that the current situation deserves the nobel peace prize. south korean president moon just like his ally in washington has also
7:21 pm
said that he's expecting great things coming out of this meeting. i expect it to be a turning point that advances completed denuclearization of the korean peninsula new u.s. north korean relations and a peace regime on the korean peninsula president move might come out of this as the biggest winner of these talks and in a way it seems that he is risking more than anyone else if these talks lead to a dead end after all this country that will be among the point targets for the nuclear capable north korean missiles south korean foreign minister said his country is looking forward to a quote tangible and substantial results with all the hopes skepticism and fears involved coming to a specific results might turn out to be a very tough challenge for everyone involved in the situation but considering that the idea of like us fourth korean summit saturday absolutely impossible just two years ago maybe there is still a chance for a happy go collusion. is

7:23 pm
pages producers facebook does not currently have a formal policy in place requiring state backed outlets to disclose their funding but a spokesperson revealed that it is seeking to exhibit a. potentially misleading behavior and journalist and a political commentator martin somers thinks the social networks should show more respect for their users. place book is dying the potential is going to die commercially if it doesn't have the respect of the people who use it and that's that that's the dilemma they're in governments are putting the pressure to do certain things but their audiences on putting mental pressure to do the opposite to make their minds up which side of the fence they're on you know all of these big mit media companies are actually under scrutiny about what they actually do and you know how they actually operate and what they allow what they don't allow in how they're funded and so on i think the idea that this is to do with misleading information is a red herring it's nothing to do with the general thing about disintegration and i'm afraid that's the space that's developing those people won't accept genuine
