divorce plan next month. india claims it has killed three hundred members of a terror group in pakistan controlled kashmir and group pakistani leaders are vowing to respond. are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international thomas glad to have you with us. and violence has flared again at the venezuela colombia border over the blockade of humanitarian aid venezuela's government says it is taking preventative action against foreign intervention. that i'm able.
10:02 pm
to turmoil in venezuela is being heightened by a debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country and truckloads of supplies have been. amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil over the weekend as even the door has blocked you could deliver this fearing the vehicles could be carrying weapons clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and people loyal to material left at least four people dead over the weekend. the u.n. security council has met in new york to discuss the situation in venezuela u.s. envoy for venezuela elliott abrams called for more sanctions on caracas in response the russian representative. raised the u.s. in history of military interventions and called other countries naive for supporting the u.s. position. 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 help but by
10:03 pm
what the u.s. calls force feeding which 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 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. are you so naive that you think you have immunity from things like this do you think that you will not be next in line i
10:04 pm
reject from top to bottom accusations of military intervention from a country that is occupying the territory of georgia and ukraine in so upset you know because you're in crimea against the background of what you were doing in venezuela your accusations just sound ridiculous 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 the united states as you just saw was elliot abrams and elliott abrams has quite a history in latin america south of the us border and he 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
10:05 pm
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 spoke and he pointed out that these humanitarian aid convoys seem to have some rather suspicious content here is what he said. in here we also have trucks and let me tell you that when the truck was inspected there wasn't just food and medicine in the truck there was a quick one for barricades there was nails. this is what was in the truck nails wire when security forces inspected this is what they found we have information from friendly countries like cuba and russia and the weapons are being bought in eastern europe to be given to the opposite. with the aim of seizing an armed intervention in venezuela 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
10:06 pm
brought photographs before the un 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 he also showed photographs of the various cocktails you know flaming 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 israel is 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 dura 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 grade zero and the opposition one way to is now in colombia and he's getting the support the united states and proclaiming himself to be the leader we discussed in the meeting in the u.n.
10:07 pm
security council and what was said there with gabriel hetland he's a professor of latin american studies he told us that the u.s. offered relief supplies while at the same time imposing sanctions is hypocritical. the u.s. is engaged in oil sanctions against venezuela which is far and away the main source of revenue for the entire country so it's going to cost the government billions and billions of dollars so it's going to cost the government billions and billions of dollars and could easily lead to assam and so then turning around and offering suppose that humanitarian aid is the essence of hypocrisy on the part of the u.s. obviously i think the u.s. has a history of using humanitarian aid for and its various purposes so that can't be discounted and more than that i mean we don't need to sort of parse tealeaves to know that the u.s. is openly calling for regime change in venezuela and that humanitarian aid is clearly in very openly explicitly designed to bring that about so it's not a secret that the u.s. is not primarily interested in helping the management people but rather in removing
10:08 pm
the government of nicolas maduro. theresa may has told members of parliament that they will get a say on whether to roll out a no deal bragg's it and crash out of the e.u. in a month's time or to delay britain's departure the vote will be triggered if the commons rejects the prime minister's bragg's a 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 delay voted to end on certain deal by blocking the deal the government was running ok again 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 has changed from the fact that some of us who used to sit
10:09 pm
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 cry about employment. where our lives employment for living and growing can only be described as grotesquely reckless yet. 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 or leave with no deal all the or no bricks it all we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no bricks it at all
10:10 pm
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 you can do to see any 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 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 to reason may has an ounce that she will be holding a second meaningful vote by choose day the twelfth of march at the latest and then if she loses that vote the government she says will hold another parliamentary vote
10:11 pm
on whether or not the house supports a no deal departure from the e.u. and if we end up in a situation where both to. reason may's deal and no deal scenarios have been rejected by politicians in parliament then on the fourteenth of march the government will start the parliamentary process that will approve what to reason may refer to as a short and necessary delay to britain's departure from the e.u. 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.
10:12 pm
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 corbin the leader of the opposition labor party he's come out with his own brags that announcement and that is that the labor party won't support to resume maze of bought plan as jeremy corbin calls it so for all those thinking that this brags it ride would be over either way after 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 bragg's it.
10:13 pm
was reported to have the exchange of fire between india and pakistan in disputed kashmir leaving at least five soldiers. al-jazeera says additionally that four civilians were killed including two children while 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 and new delhi said it hit a training camp belonging to a kashmir based terror organization killing three hundred fighters india's foreign secretary says the airstrike targeted the group of mohammad which struck a police convoy earlier this month killing at least forty officers. india has been repeatedly urging pakistan to action against the gesture of a 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
10:14 pm
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 nine hundred seventy one pakistan condemned the incursion while the military rejected india's claims saying that no infrastructure was hit no casualties reported and pakistani jets force of the indian planes back to their own territory the pakistani military also shared images of the alleged the aftermath of the incident foreign minister insists his country will respond. india has committed. all a good. group to. this form at the time and believe it or producing well here is what experts in both india and pakistan have been telling us argue sunny's go to deny that india succeeded militarily because that would be a huge blow to their out kristie especially of the military establishment saw in
10:15 pm
fact they denied that we succeeded in two thousand and sixteen as well when prime minister narendra modi ordered to be. surgical strike or special operations mission inside the senate territory on both cases we made a point that terrorism will 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 all 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 drop there was a nearby mud the rolling and i think that the cats have a good one person was injured and that is all what has happened there are no funerals dead bodies but there is all but does affect their dead is a little box on solvent immunity and pakistan has made it clear that they are going
10:16 pm
to get it back but in what manner that is a question that is a guess by anybody. capital is playing host to a second summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader of donald trump and kim jong un arrived to hanoi on tuesday it is hoped it can reach a compromise leaving it to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula as well as the lifting of crippling sanctions imposed on penn yang probably video agency producer evangelise obsesses in hanoi for us. and it was the men hopefulness with second son. but with kim john thune on the horizon trump feels like is on top of the world i hope that very positive things are going to happen i think 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 supporting it is all that's able to some media reports even claim north korean leader kim said this to us top diplomat
10:17 pm
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 image does not only concern just the washington in pyongyang so how do the other regional neighbors feeling about it. despite the fact japan's will sever a north korean test missiles flying over it was the concern over the outcome 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 up and he's prime minister abby a fish 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 a letter that he said to the people who give out a thing called
10:18 pm
a nobel prize he said i have nominated you or we specially on behalf of japan. i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that the not colver well what the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on. abduction new quinn so 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 the nobel peace prize. south korean president moon just like his ally in washington has also said that he's expecting great things coming out of this meeting. but i expect it to be a turning point philip vance's 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
10:19 pm
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 by trail to be a very tough challenge for everyone involved. but considering that the idea of i.q. west north korean summit centered absolutely impossible just two years ago maybe there is still a chance for a happy go collusion. the former u.s. envoy to the u.n. nikki haley has found a new job she has been nominated for a seat on the board of directors of boeing corporation that's according to the company's c.e.o. he believes nikki haley is the perfect fit. and basta hayward brings to boeing in outstanding records of achievement in government industry partnership and successful drive the new economic prosperity for communities in america and around the world boeing will benefit greatly from who brought perspectives and combined
10:20 pm
diplomat to government and business experience to help achieve the aspiration to be the best in aerospace in the global industrial chantant. nikki haley was donald trump's ambassador to the u.n. until last december she stood out as a diplomat by promoting american foreign policy positions around the globe notably on syria perry will formally join the board of boeing in late april political commentator lou rockwell says her government contacts should come in handy. well i did maybe that she's going to. introduce them introduce the bowling lobbyist's the people in the trumpet ministration and my guess is that she wants to set up a bar with my pump ale and say the the neo-con i'm sure she could get the appointment so that you know that kind of thing she can do i guess maybe they feel that's worth their pay or of course a good deal of money as a board member and i guess that's what she'll do so i think she adds nothing except
10:21 pm
i guess she can bring money to the military industrial complex i go. maybe she's got enough connections now free to she can bring more of the morrow contracts human readable and which is already immensely rich from killing people and destroying cities and civilizations and maybe she's going to help them do more of that but it seems to me it may be just a p.c. kind of a thing i don't believe that she's actually going to be an effective even effective at bringing the more contracts so that's a good thing. a british police force has been found guilty of discrimination after it rejected an applicant who is a white heterosexual male cheshire police were in the middle of a diversity drive when it turned down twenty five year old matthew furlong who wanted to follow his father into the force. it is completely shocked at my confidence in the police force recruitment system how do i do my interview form and said i was bisexual for instance there's a strong possibility i would be working for cheshire police not based on the law i
10:22 pm
cheshire police say that they are aware of the tribunals decision and have agreed to review the results for a long while you say it is the first discrimination case of its kind in the u.k. we put the issue up for debate with stephen morris from the english democrats party and political and social commentator monsour. the police have always s'posed to be seen to be fair seem to be treat people without fear or favor thus their rules now what they're doing they are blatantly discriminating against people so any trust people have in the police is going to be gone you know how can you trust them when you know full well that they are not looking to recruit the best people for the job they are just recruited based on ticking a box so in fact what we see steven and the others who might think like him is that discrimination and treating people less favorably but for their race or their protective characteristics has been going on for decades and pretty. sad to say by
10:23 pm
white heterosexual men and they have had the jobs they've had the lion's share of income even though we monitor equal pay they will still have the lion's share and so positive action is about redressing a balance about saying that when things are immoral no no no no positive. discrimination no no no sorry steve stephen i'm sorry i'll correct you on a matter of fact and a matter of law having taken race discrimination cases although to the royal courts of justice no offense to stephen but this is now i do it well. on the. employment role as a trade union. but i don't use racism to. discriminate you discriminate against. racism we've seen racism in the police force now racism is wrong it should be done on nothing else right now if you're saying positive action that's just annoyed with related immigration. when we look at positive action we're talking about
10:24 pm
underrepresented minorities whether they are black whether they are muslim jewish or gay bisexual transgender all the people we need policies which are in society and absolutely you are right and the potentially is right and it's finding if they have treated him less badly but for his sex nor to doing this to ourselves. as i was writing it i didn't question he was saying he was he well let's see i mean appeal to things happen but at the minute the finding we have is that but for the fact of his race and it been bisexual he'd been in he'd been more like two got a job i agree we cannot discriminate even against which is wrong because i mean i should heterosexual men it's all about freedom of choice people do not want to go on the police then fine but find out the reasons why it's not purely down to the recruitment process the. people from the pain groups or the gay groups. british labor party leader jeremy corbin is facing another wave of scrutiny the
10:25 pm
mail on sunday newspaper claims that his close adviser seamus mill as ties to russia as well as the palestinian militant group hamas and the article it is alleged that together with corbin traveled to the middle east to meet hamas leaders corbin's aid is also accused of having ties or links to the russian government story particularly emphasizes that he chaired a conference in russia in two thousand and fourteen which was attended by vladimir putin the paper also quoted former british intelligence chief dearlove as saying corbin would have to drop his closest aide if he becomes prime minister i am alarmed enough by corbin's past associations but milnes put him beyond the pale that means corben could not make the judgments and decisions the prime minister has to make unless he stopped consulting him. well seamus milne is the labor party's director of strategy and communications he is also a former columnist at and associate editor for britain's guardian newspaper his
10:26 pm
father was the later alastair milne who was a former director general of the b.b.c. he spoke to george galloway british politician broadcaster and writer who gave us his perspective the proximate cause of the russian agent allegation is that each session of the volga conference in sochi where president putin was one of the speakers in this he has in common with many other top journalists from very hostile newspapers like the new york times the washington post and many other journalists and many other countries if mr deal love knows something the rest of us don't know why didn't he tell the editor of the god in that he was employ as his associate editor a k.g.b. spy why didn't he tell the house of commons i thought it is when mr milne was appointed three years ago jeremy corbin's right hand man you can't have this man in
