pakistan says. indian air force jets over disputed kashmir capturing two pilots as the need to drive violence escalates. one of the. sees the u.s. and north korean leaders try and make headway in denuclearization and in the decades long korean war. and sources tell the washington post and the u.s. military disrupted internet access in russia to prevent meddling during the midterms .

nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from our studio 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 violate the geneva convention by harming him earlier released video of the pilot with blood and bruises to his face the pilot was captured after pakistan shot down an airplane is that you cannot independently verify it is said to show a downed indian make twenty one fighter jet pakistan claims it shot down two aircraft in its airspace over kashmir and that arrested two pilots india says its one plane and a single pilot pakistan later closed its airspace nicky aaron outlines the discrepancy between the two sides. claves. well what we're absolutely sure we're

seeing now is the culmination of tensions that have been building with more regularity in recent years and essentially things have now come to 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 it's 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. was was to do. and

of course this border is only. in the. course. of the hour. or that you do. in this is. going to go. by that is missing in action. because. he is in the 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 this 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 of it what is very clear is what we're seeing is the first of the first the aerial attacks across that line of control across that delicate kashmir border since the two countries were at war in one thousand nine hundred seventy one and 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 there are so are you understand who 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 miscalculation should we not think at this moment that if the situation escalates then where will it go it will not be in my control or narendra modi's control i will again tell you that better sense should

prevail now and we should resolve our issues by sitting together and through talks . with them on tuesdays get a lot of spikes in tensions i have a kashmir they have been up and down over the years and 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 their independence from britain and nine hundred forty seven.

is now a multinational appeal for both sides to show restraint in conduct talks we've been getting reaction from experts on both sides is some of what they told us. i'm from the box on air force but i would like to see peace in the region because both india and pakistan are you clear veterans equipped we do not want this to escalate to have mutually assured destruction because that is what will happen it will not remain if there for production it's been different if the escalate into a full scale evolve it would be norms barred but you see india took an action yesterday and pakistan going to action today and retaliation and shut down the aircraft i'm hoping that we let it go our back and have you sit down and talk to each other and if india has actionable intelligence ah prime minister has a cure he will dig different action i don't know where there will be no response from india because there was a response and this is like

a counter response which is a was part of the pakistani body see that if there is an attack on their tertiary do it will have to respond and seem to want to nuclear powers country and leaders notice to serve very high and we just can't afford a full fledged consciously so the hope is that change for the not spin out of control and most of science was sort of kind of dead last of so to say and decided . let's modi destructor and look forward to some other means maybe we are going to end a war by our means maybe to a diplomat do you could create economic and on because there are no winners and the military don't know who are as we have seen so far. meetings being taken place between the us president and the north korean leader and yet in the capital made an appearance

a few hours ago with the body language coming in and some scrutiny. oh he's 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 that confidence but he's trying to pull it back and from what i'm seeing here though he is feeling dominant

and naturally trying to dominate him sure look he is also trying not to over do it he's trying to make him comfortable i suspect it's a head of the main set of talks that are going to take place tomorrow. and told us and i concluded our teens and sips us has more on what's to come. this is president trump's 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 criticism from opposition back home that said not enough was made through the last summit between the two leaders in singapore but the first summit 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 you will have a tremendous future with your country a great leader and i look forward to watching it happen and helping it to happen and we will help with that trumper to read it in a tweet that a 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 this 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 one facility and perhaps at 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 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 we specially on 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 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 name 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 a 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. west north korean summit started absolutely impossible just two years ago maybe there is still a chance for a happy conclusion. the u.s. military has carried out its first offensive sign proper russia sources tell the washington post that u.s. cyber command blocked internet access to what they called a russian actually trying to turn the actions. as 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 a 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 aim

to fear reigns 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 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 true it 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 reading 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 many 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. and i think this will bring huge damage to 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 would be dependent on anybody on wednesday following the washington post article claiming that russia's darkest fear is and concerns over internet security may already be a reality we asked russia's president spokesperson dmitri piece cough to comment

further on which an admitted management of the world's internet is defacto carried out by several companies that potential threat led is to consider a sovereign internet it's not linked to the isolation closure of our country it's connected to protection against illegal actions which is. reaction now from the cyber security pioneer behind the back of the antivirus software and john mica me john can you hear me we can see lighting a thing or. here's the problem that i have with with the story the troll factory in russia is problematic for the entire world they are there sophisticated manipulate and control so many things especially in america that if the us did have the capability to shut them down why did they not do so why send sort of a warning shot it's like someone in the dating america so mexico invades america

has been invading america doing damage and the only response from the us is on one day they attack it doesn't make any sense i'm sorry but from a technological standpoint unless the troll factory has been traded by us agents it is not technically possible to do so i'm sorry what kind of effort john would it take for the us to carry out this cyber operation on russia because surely it would take a huge number of people wouldn't it. it would take a lot of people in the thousands and they would have to be imbedded in all aspects of the russian social and political system i'm not saying that's not possible that's not my area of expertise but you know when where as spies on the ground it's not my expertise however i find it unlikely that they have done so if they have not done so technologically what they are claiming is impossible i'm not calling my

government a liar although our government like all governments does a lot to its interests i am saying what they are saying today is simply not cost. the kremlin spokesperson you can understand the concern from russia's perspective they said they could be unplugged from the world wide web how possible is that given that the internet doesn't live in one country so so to speak. well the internet is a highly unbalanced affair in terms of its members however. it is especially using. virtual private networks and servers that are set up in other countries which you know for a fact that russia has as well as the us it does not matter if we take out all of russia's internet access. agents in other countries will continue the the war

this is why people are missing it is so easy to go to the philippines or to korea or china or somewhere in south america and set up a mirror of like you're doing in russia and so if you take them out in russia they will simply continue it from elsewhere it is a very complex inside of a problem but it is obviously something that we do not have the capability of doing so the. cyber security pioneer john mcafee thanks very much for coming on to the program until contest thank you. thank you. nine people have been arrested in a joint ossian german operation against a temping network at the nordic world championships here's our europe correspondent peter. on wednesday police carried out raids on sixteen addresses across germany and austria resulting in nine arrests linked to a blood doping scandal in the sport of nordic in cross-country skiing and what we understand is that five elite athletes are among those that have been arrested we

know that two of those austrians two of those are a stone ians and one is from kazakhstan we also understand the two others being named as cadets in the austrian police force who were also members of australia's national nordic nordic skiing team well the arrests may well be in connection to revelations about blood doping in the sport that were made by this dirt the. thirty one year old made his claims in a documentary. here in germany back in january of this year he admitted to using e.p.o. in carrying out blood doping in fact when he was talking about the sport of nordic skiing he said it does not work without doping that's a direct quote from him but the austrian police say that these arrests are part of a long time and wide ranging investigation. based criminal group is strongly

suspected of having carried out blood doping on elite athletes for years to increase their performance in national and international competitions and thereby to gain illegal income one of the athletes arrested in austria was well pretty much caught red handed according to the authorities we called an athlete natch and it was undergoing a blood transfusion in his arm when the police arrived of the arrests that were made in germany one was a forty year old man described as a sports doctor by the austrian authorities have been far more forthcoming with information than their german counterparts the austrian saying this well this doping scandal that they believe they've own covered it could well extend beyond nordic in cross-country skiing and may well extend to other sports as well the world anti-doping agency wada say they're paying keen attention to the news coming out of austria and germany and say that they're cooperating with the police now the

reaction that we've heard from this well as you can imagine it's been coming in loud and clear. how do you think the federal broadcasters are reacting now it was russia that aired d. and said a f was continuously discredited by in terms of doping well or for as the lynchpin of doping is hires out those already in the studio doping is rampant in sports but our biased media still obsessed with a cold war say that it's only russian athletes as they've been fostering never start in the program feel about doping in cycling after the break the british place or create refused job before being a heterosexual white male that's next on our team.

but the number. they've measured us is over one trillion dollars they're more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich with six percent of the world market thirty percent some would say one hundred to five hundred three per second per second and this one rose to one hundred thousand dollars. china will be two point one billion dollars a i industrial but don't let the numbers old world. the only number you need remember the one you know for a minute the one and only game but. welcome

back to the program british police force has been found guilty of discrimination after it rejected an applicant who is a white heterosexual male and that's the decision reached by an employment tribunal in northwest england cheshire police were in the middle of a diversity drive when they turned twenty five year old matthew furlong who wanted to follow his father into the force. it is completely shattered my confidence in the police force recruitment system had i why don't my interview form and said i was bisexual for instance there's a strong possibility i would be working for cheshire police now based on know why cheshire police say they're aware of the tribunals decision and have agreed to review the results of his lawyer says it's the first discrimination case of its kind in the u.k.

we put the issue up for debate with political and social commentator maryland's r. and stephen morris from the english democrats party. what they're doing is 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 characteristic has been going on for decades and pretty. sad to say by 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 in mono no positive. results that let me off it was. 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 i'm not sure tribune official want to do with race relations cases on the side as a try to you know employment law as a trade union. but i don't use racism to. discriminate you discriminate against. these races and we've seen racism in the police force now racism is wrong it should be done on nothing else right now if you're seeing positive action that's just annoyed with a blatant racism and even steven when we look at positive action we're talking about underrepresented minorities whether they are black whether they're muslim jewish gay bisexual transgender all the people we need policies which are in society and absolutely you are right and the trouble potentially is right and it's finding if they have treated him less badly but for his sex nor to doing this to. him that i was in question he was saying if he was he well let's see i mean appeal

to things happened but at the minute the fighting we have is that but for the fact of his right. and it had been bisexual he'd been in he'd been more like to got a job i agree we cannot discriminate even against which is wrong be sure i mean i should heterosexual men it's all about freedom of choice if people do not want to go join 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. make sure you stay with us thanks for. on our international.

trumping ministrations attempts to impose regime change in venezuela appear to be faltering the self-proclaimed interim president. hasn't gain much traction this may explain the administration's escalating rhetoric after all we're told a military option is still on the table. when almost seems wrong. but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day become active. and engaged because the trail. went on many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn they get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rescued . it's a right to be cross as a white woman for freedom or can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. question. do your. job. openings one of the issues me a little. later

on. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact on all of us i'm bart chilton in washington welcome aboard we're glad to have you. coming up today big pharma chief executive officers one capitol hill here in washington and faced a great grilling from lawmakers perhaps giving the executives a taste of their own medicine molly barrows a standing by to break down all the action plus the stage is set for a second meeting between donald trump and north korea's kim jong un this time in vietnam we break down what that meeting could mean for geopolitics with former pentagon official michael pulls and conservative commentator steve lomas first and later the lead traces go shader for mexico ambassador hey susan.
