you know. he. was. at the. capturing two pilots as the new arrival violence escalates. one of the most anticipated summits of the year is underway as the u.s. and north korean leaders try and make headway over denuclearized station and ending a decades long korean war. and sources tell the washington post that the u.s. military disrupted internet access and. it's
12:01 pm
eight o'clock here in moscow you're watching all the international live from last you joe with me. welcome to the program there's been a dramatic escalation in tensions between india and pakistan india is demanding the return of a fighter pilot arrested by pakistan accusing it of violating the geneva convention by holding him early release of the pilot with blood and bruises to his face the pilot was captured after pakistan shot down the an indian war plane this video which we cannot independently verify it is said to show a downed twenty one fighter jet pakistan claims it shot down two aircraft in its place of the kashmir and that it to rest in two pilots says it is one plane and a single pilot focused on later closed its space that karen outlines the discrepancy between the two sides kinds. what we're absolutely sure we see now is the culmination of tensions that have been building with more regularity in recent years and so. things have now come to
12:02 pm
a head to the importance and consequence of how things play out from here is very significant not just because these are two very powerful countries but because they are a nuclear armed enemy is so if this does continue to spiral downwards this doesn't just impact the region this could have an effect on the whole world pakistan is claiming claiming to have shot down two indian air force jets and captured two pilots and says that its jets have launched air strikes in the indian territory a move that they claimed was in self-defense. pakistan is a responsible country and we don't want to endanger lives of masses we have yet retaliated to india all being done is just what irresponsible country does for its defense our message is peace and not the war now india however claims that these those pakistani jets had been pushed back at this point. in the. course. of the hour. or they can do.
12:03 pm
this is. because fortunately lost. is missing in action. because. he is in their custody this comes just one day after india claims it hit a militant training camp and killed a very large number of fighters from the militant group jayashri mohammed which took responsibility for that suicide bombing earlier this month which killed forty indian troops now in a bizarre twist pakistan rejected india's claim saying that indian fighters were confronted before they conducted those strikes on the training camp and actually just dropped four or five bombs in an empty field and then fled back across the border so what's making the situation all the more hard to follow is how the two sides have these conflicting media campaigns both sides are pushing their own narrative and so a single source of contradictory information online and in the news but at the core
12:04 pm
of it what is very clear is what we're seeing is the first border since the two countries were at war in one thousand nine hundred seventy one now speaking in the past hour the pakistani prime minister imran khan has called for a responsible approach he said noting how both of them are nuclear powers they really couldn't afford a miscalculation. and one would say i want to ask a question of the indian government that considering the nature of the weapons that both of us have this can we afford any. nation should we not think this moment that if the situation escalates then where will it go it will not be in my control or no render modi's control i will again tell you a better sense prevail now and we should resolve our issues by sitting together and through talks. that the models to use give you love spikes in tensions i have a kashmir they have been up and down over the years a fresh wave of violence really took hold in the summer of twenty sixteen but kashmir has always been contested territory even before india and pakistan won
12:05 pm
their independence from britain and nine hundred forty seven. is now in the projects both on both sides some of what they told us. i'm from the box on air falls but i would like to see peace in the region because both india and pakistan are usually of weapons equipped and we don't know if one is to escalate to
12:06 pm
have mutually assured destruction because that is what will happen and it will not remain if therefore by the action it's been different if the escalate into a full scale of all it would be norms barred but you see india took an action yesterday and pakistan are going to action today in retaliation and shot down below the aircraft i'm hoping that we let it go our back and sit down and talk to each other and if india has actionable intelligence ah prime minister has a cure he will take different action i don't know where there will be no response from india because there was a response and this is like a call to response which is a was part of the pakistanis going to see that if there is an attack on their tertiary date it will have to respond and since to want to nuke you we just can't afford a full fledged consciously so the hope is that things were not spin out of control and the science was sort of current it lost the sort of state and decided.
12:07 pm
let's just doing the war my own means maybe to reduce what might be you could create you can all be going on because there are no winners and the military who are as we have seen so far. meeting has been taking place between the us president and the north korean leader and the vietnamese capital team made an appearance a few hours ago with the body language coming in and some scrutiny. the
12:08 pm
first round of talks have now concluded. what's to come. this is president trump second attempt at making peace with north korea the two leaders met briefly for the cameras and are now having close discussions behind closed doors the talks are made up of two rounds one formal dinner and one on one talks but before coming to vietnam prison trip was under severe pressure to make a deal at the summit that came after criticizing up for the first time it was a great success and i think this one hopefully will be equal or greater than the first we made a lot of progress and i think the biggest progress was our relationship is really a good one i think that your country has tremendous economic potential unbelievable unlimited and i think that you will have for me the future of your country a great leader and i look forward to watching it happen and helping it to happen
12:09 pm
and we will help with that trumper to read it in a tweet that the potential for a deal is quote awesome both countries to sign a piece the collaboration to symbolically end the korean war the conflict ended in the arms that is not actually a peace treaty back in one nine hundred fifty three which means the war is technically still ongoing north korea would agree to return more the remains of troops who died in the korean war also the u.s. is considering to opening up diplomatic office in north korea. could show the relations between washington are actually getting warmer north korea will agree to stop producing nuclear materials. facility and perhaps on the other ones as well in exchange the u.s. will push to lift some of the sanctions on pyongyang and will pursue a joint economic project with south korea but again it's not clear what the deal exactly we can expect from this meeting but the summit does not actually only concern washington in pyongyang so let's actually have
12:10 pm
a little look and see what are the other regional neighbors feeling about it. despite the fact japan's also over a north korean test missiles flying over it 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 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 a letter that he sent to the people who give out a thing called a nobel price he said i have nominated you or respect me in behalf of japan. i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that did not go over well for the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction nuclear insult to mid range missile issues not resolved at
12:11 pm
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 koreans president again just like his ally in washington that has also said that he is expecting great things coming out of the summit. i expect it to be a turning point that advances complete to denuclearization of the korean peninsula new u.s. north korean relations and a peace regime on the korean peninsula president mood might come out as the biggest winner of these talks and in a way it seems that he's risking more than anyone else if these talks lead to a dead end after all it's this country that will be among the prime 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 i.q.
12:12 pm
west north korean summit started absolutely impossible just two years ago maybe there's still a chance for a happy conclusion. and see what body language analysts how it felt feldman has gained from the leaders the howard thanks for coming on to the program is quite interesting when we watch that photo call isn't it what do you think it really reveals do you think it reveals what they are really thinking of each other . it's very interesting to see donald trump is. characteristically restrained normally his his body language is very overt very out there but what we seeing in these images coming out of annoy is easy is much more is dry. he does it does act out in his normal way his well known handshake where he almost seems to be a little bit submissive but then put his hand on top that we see that is characteristic of the way he treats somebody that he's trying to do what i'm seeing
12:13 pm
from these images is that they that he's being cautious with how he behaves towards he is not he's being he's giving him a lot of space he's not he's not invading space at all it's almost as though he's nurturing him through this process i do see of some anxiety coming out of kim jong il we're not seeing any real movement also very very restrained very very still and donald trump trying over and over again to make him with feel comfortable even if we look at the dinner that they had and if you look at the spaces of the of the participants and the space between them you'll notice it's very very glaring that has a lot more space around him so that they don't have to be doing anything to intimidate him almost assuring him through this process if you
12:14 pm
saw when donald trump actually accepted his plane again you really restrained and and characteristically so how if we look at some of the footage from the photo call there you do see donald trump tapping kim jong un's shoulder quite a lot of his very strong handshake wasn't a very deliberate strong handshake what do you make of that does it in your opinion does it look like to trump is trying to assert is dominance over him. i think it's most definitely is is dominance because his hand shake does that and again you know when somebody puts out a hand in a submissive position in other words palm up the automatic assumption is that he's being submissive but what donald trump does is put. his other hand on top of that is dominance so he is asserting his dominance we see it when he's sitting down and he puts his hand in a downward steeple position that again is dominance it's their confidence but he's trying to pull it back and from what i'm seeing here is although he is feeling
12:15 pm
dominant and naturally trying to dominate. he is also trying not to over do it he's trying to make him comfortable and i suspect it's ahead of the main set of talks that are going to take place tomorrow that that's the sense that i'm getting from this is that he did it almost it's almost this image of no sudden movements because he doesn't want to scare it that that's the image that i'm getting out of what i've seen so far how can he see any differences in their body language compared to last summer's summit. you definitely can they are definitely a little bit more relaxed with each other i'm not since a good last time that that that we looked at this there was some anxiety coming out of from donald trump's body language he doesn't seem to be anxious to me he is clearly concerned there is concern and as i said restraint i also don't know if
12:16 pm
he's fully present you know it might be sometimes we make this mistake with body language as we look at somebody and we know too much to keep wondering considering what's going back going on there. with his. with you say x. with lawyer i wonder if there isn't some kind of distraction happening there it might be just me reading into it but also when i look at this part of me doesn't feel that he's as present as he was the last time he's also managing our expectations so there is that since of of of what he could accomplish in these talks over the next few days and really interesting how it thank you. very much for coming on to the program and sharing your thoughts on what they could and could not be doing at that photo call thanking. the u.s. military has carried out its first offensive cyber operation against russia sources
12:17 pm
told the washington post that u.s. cyber command blocked internet access overseas to what they called a russian troll factory during the twenty eighteen mid-term elections maria fanaa is across the story for us. what we basically have is a washington post article claiming that the u.s. military managed to block internet access to one russian group known as the internet research agency on the day of the country's meat turns november last year some in america believe that this group might be informed in the alleged interfering in the country's presidential elections back in two thousand and sixteen washington post a site in a number of officials all of whom spoke to the paper on the condition of anonymity has also added in the article that that attack in two thousand and eighteen was just the beginning of what is supposed to be a massive cyber campaign against russia the operation merged the first muscle
12:18 pm
flexing by u.s. cyber command with intelligence from the national security agency under new authorities it was granted by president trump and congress last year to bolster offensive capabilities if it was simply shows how in secure a cyber wise russia can be interested enough they snooze came at the time when this topic is highly debated here in russia on all levels earlier in february russia's state duma adopted the first trading of a draft law requiring all russia's i space to ensure it can operate in the situation when russia's unplugged by foreign companies by foreign forces from the global network meant to refer to this document as internet isolation and there are critics of course saying that this is just the government's attempt to put some control on online life but the russian authorities keep saying that this is a measure to protect the country's security. i think this will bring huge damage to
12:19 pm
the u.s. so the economic but also political damage but it is also but for the special services sitting there gathering all the information about you but don't be afraid i suppose they will think a hundred top. before doing something theoretically anything is possible so we should create such segments that won't be dependent on anybody on wednesday following the washington post article claiming that russia's darkest fears and concerns over internet security may already be a reality we asked russia's president spokesperson dmitri prisk off to comment further on which management of the world's internet is different too carried out by several companies that potential threat is to consider a sovereign internet it's not linked to the isolation or closure of our country it's connected to protection against illegal actions. now nine people have been arrested in a joint austrian german operation against a doping network at the nordic world ski championships and to get more information
12:20 pm
across live out our europe correspondent peter oliver peter what are the police saying about the raids. or sixteen raids sixteen addresses were raided across austria in germany nine arrests have been made in amongst those nine five are described as being elite athletes from nordic or cross-country course country skiing their nationalities are to austrians to a stone ians and one among those arrested it's also understood that two cadets in the austrian police force who were also part of the country's nordic skiing team have also been taken into custody now when it comes to who these elite athletes are the austrians have been named as dominic baldauf a twenty six year old and also also twenty six now the kazakh that's been taken into custody is understood to be alexey politan and though he didn't show up for his race on wednesday was supposed to taking part in the fifteen kilometers now.
12:21 pm
he's a two time bronze medal winner at the world championships in his sport also a multiple winner on the on the world cup circuit of nordic skiing well these arrests may well have something to do with admissions that were made by another austrian on a german documentary that aired on television in january well in that documentary your highness dirs said that he admitted to taking part in blood doping him self and also said that the sport of nordic skiing well does not work without doping that's a direct quote from him the austrian police have said that these arrests on wednesday well they could be part of a larger conspiracy to commit to well to cheat in sport that may well have gone on for a very long time. for the debased criminal group who strongly suspected of having
12:22 pm
carried out blood doping on elite athletes for years to increase their performance in national and international competitions and thereby to gain illegal income. well one of the athletes who was taken into custody was caught red handed almost literally he was arrested with a blood transfusion in his arm the needle actually in there at the same time well that's according to both the austrian prosecutors and the austrian federal criminal police what we understand from the two arrests that were made in germany is that one of them is a forty year old described as a sports doctor who according to the austrian authorities may well have been the the very center of this doping ring in fact the austrian authorities went on to suggest that this may go well beyond the sports of nordic skiing and cross-country skiing now wada the world anti-doping agency say they're paying very close attention to this and they're also cooperating with the police in their investigation when it comes to reaction though to this news particularly reaction
12:23 pm
we've seen online on twitter the immediate. reaction to this news seen a lot of people critical of the fact that previous doping investigations focused solely on russia also that the focus has previously fallen so sharply on sports like cycling and that may well have glossed over drug use in many other sports as we're hearing from the austrians well this may well have gone on and a lot of other sports and many other competitions than previously we thought ok outies peter correspondent thanks for the update on that story. a quick look ahead now to a program we have lined up for you today that we think you'll find informative every year hundreds of children in the philippines are sold off by their families to traffickers many end up in the hands of ice all affiliated groups where their room to fight and kill are to has been following the plight of filipino child soldiers in our latest documentary crisis childhood.

trump administration's attempts to impose regime change in venezuela appear to be faltering this self-proclaimed interim president. hasn't gained much traction this may explain the administration's escalating rhetoric after all we're told a military option is still on the table. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to cross the sea like them before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first ship. with gold make goods manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the

and sal you take shims. all right our good friends at the book of face facebook once again found themselves in the headlines this week my hawk watchers yes it appears that all is not well in facebook land especially for those tasked with moderating the massive amounts of content shared between the more than one billion users living in zucker berg's empire according to a new report published by the burj the more than fifteen thousand souls working under third party contractors tasked with the exciting job of moderating with you what i post on facebook actually work under some of the most brutal conditions both physically and mentally in fact just last year a former facebook moderator in california sued the company alleging that the job
12:29 pm
left her with severe p.t.s.d. her complaint stated that quote she seeks to protect herself from the dangers of psychological trauma resulting from facebook's pale year to provide a safe workplace for the thousands of contractors who are entrusted to provide the safest possible environment for facebook users so just what are these facebook moderators subjected to you may ask well not only do they get to spend their workdays looking at the worst of the worst post by all of the facebook trolls races and bigots but they also get to pursue all of the graphically violent perusal of the graphically violent videos and pictures posted on a daily basis on the social media site and as a cherry on top of all of that. the impressive oversight of work rate and accuracy leaves workers feeling under pressure to spend no more than thirty seconds on each item and the moderate hundreds every day without getting more than one in twenty
