of the world speech including five minutes in a joint operation again please say it's a global doping network also ahead. one of the most anticipated summers in the u.s. and north korean leaders try and make headway. and ending the decades long reenable . and ending the decades long reenable. it's midnight here in moscow and you're watching altie 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 violating the geneva convention by harming him pakistan early release video of the pilot with blood and bruises to his face the pilot was captured. after pakistan shot down an indian war plane this

video which we cannot independently verify is said to show a downed indian lake twenty one fighter jets just on time to shut down two aircraft that airspace over kashmir and that it arrested two pilots india says it's one plane and a single filers artist are later closed to space thank you aaron lies the discrepancy between the two sides claiming. 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 nuclear armed enemies 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 you know 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 because it was it was addicted and therefore this border isn't. well. but. in this is. what. is missing in action. because. he is in custody this comes just one day off to india claims it hit a militant training camp and killed

a very large number of fighters from the militant group jayashri mohammad 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 functions 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 i was 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 aerial attacks across that line of control across that delicate kashmir border since the two countries were at war in one 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. understand who would say i want to ask a question to india that considering the nature of the weapons that both of us are now this we afford any miscalculation should we not think this moment that the situation escalates then where will it go it will not be in my control the remote control i will again tell you prevail now and we should resolve our issues by sitting together through towards. the. spike's intentions 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 their independence from britain and nine hundred forty seven.

there's now a multinational appeal for both sides to show restraint and to conduct talks we've been getting reaction from experts on both sides here's some of what they told us. i'm from the pakistan air force but we do not live with mutually assured destruction because that is what will happen it will lock remain if for production it wouldn't definitely escalate into a false question yesterday and pakistan going to action to the individual occasion and shut down the aircraft i am hoping that we let it go our back and have you sit

down and thought through each other and if india has actionable intelligence ah prime minister as a cure or even a big 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 always part of the pakistani border see that if there is an attack on their territory day it will have to respond and sent to order a nuclear powers country and the leaders know the stakes are very high we just can't afford a full fledged gone truly so the hope is that things will not spin out of control and more sides will sort of current loss of the city and decide. let's modi destructor and we look forward to some other means we are going to end the war by other means maybe to reduce the amount you can create you can all be going on because there are no winners and the military don't know who are as we have seen so

far. funds disgraced former lawyer has been testifying before congress about his ex boss and he isn't holding back on top of calling the u.s. president a racist cheat and con man michael cohen claims trying new wiki leaks plan to reveal damaging democratic party e-mails telling the twenty sixteen election cohen alleges that the overheard transformer advisor roger stone saying he communicated with making leaks founder julian assange which. trump knew from roger stone in advance about the wiki leaks drop of emails mr trump mr stone on the speakerphone mr stone told. mr trump said he had just gotten off the phone with julius songe and that mr stanch told mr stone that within a couple of days there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage hillary clinton's campaign. mr

trump responded by stating to the effect wouldn't that be great by the time cohen claims here her that mccain leaks had already publicly announced its pending publications and has always denied speaking to roger stone. we have e-mails about hillary hillary clinton which. pending publication that is correct but public and congressman thomas amassing said that this part of cohen's testimony is a quote only or say shit that some of clinton's e-mails would be leaked is that correct correct ok was that in you said late july do you know the exact day. i believe it was either the eighteenth of the nineteenth and i would guess that it would be on the nineteenth but it was definitely july i believe so yes you know that was public knowledge in june this was mr assad like to submit this you know it's consistent this through the record without objection so mr science reported to

the media in june twelfth that those e-mails would be leaked so i'm not saying you have fake news i'm saying you have all the news after this moment in the spotlight michael cohen a three year prison sentence in the spring for tax and forward as well as for lying to congress he claims he lied out of noise into trouble but admits the president never directly asked him to do so that also came up in the republican criticism of cohen who was a trunk confidant for more than a decade. it a line about it actually he lies to banks all of those laws were done on fraudulent documents. apparently he even lied about delivering his own child which is wife had to correct the record some will certainly as if mr cohen was lying then why should we believe him now ladies and gentleman how on earth is this witness credible he's a fake witness his presence here is a travesty and you have

a history of lying over and over and over again he said we were in search of the truth i don't believe that michael coleman is capable of telling the truth and i would hope that as this committee moves forward by still no republican congressman michael flanagan michael thanks for coming on to the program now the media has been lapping up some more claims and insults from cohen statement what's your take on it . well it's as we call it in the united states when election season comes here we call it the silly season and in the silly season silly things happen this is a little early but it's something that you see in the silly season cohen is willing to use the word racist and criminal when liar and anyone is willing to speak in that absolute in that strongest terms in washington will always have an audience on one side or the other he didn't offer anything today worth noting there was no bombshell there was no great revelation there was just an angry man who wanted to

be chief of staff who didn't get to be chief of staff who experience he could make a ton of money off the trump name after trump was elected president has decided after all that he needs to get even in a vicious new york stupid sort of way it's only his going to come to congress and lie some more he's been disbarred for lying to the state of new york is part of the called his law license because he's a liar which is actually a very big deal i'm a lawyer myself and you make a promise when you become a lawyer that you will be truthful in all things and the mere act of lying can cost you your law license and so a man who took that promise who took that oath and then took another oath in front of congress and has lied constantly can't be trusted ever to tell the truth even if he is telling the truth it will require cooperation substantiation and some backup and none of that was provided today just just more bomb throwing and the left was sure to give him a platform to do it with nevertheless michael he has got the platform hasn't he

said he is being able to speak publicly and nose and use the comments like mesas cheat and con on and you said that he's not to be trusted because of the lying in the past how web a surety some people i don't to see that his testimony is reliable. there's always an audience for people who hear what they want to hear there's always a market for that and the democrats are certainly in the. box there's nothing dispassionately offered by colin today that substantiated i mean doesn't have little bits of evidence and in fact most of his accusations are hedged in well mr trump didn't actually direct me to do that i just knew i was supposed to or i went ahead and did it anyway as part of the team and no one stop me it's it's it wouldn't hold up in court it wouldn't hold up even in a hearing it doesn't even need a preponderance of the standard much less

a criminal standard there is no there there today except you know wild roundhouse swings that anybody could do but he has the he has the ear of congress and does them there and we all get to watch ok thank you former republican congressman michael flanagan it's obvious the program. another person said to have contacted wiki leaks founder songes pull money for it's his chums former campaign chairman who has been convicted of bank and tax cut. back in november the guardian newspaper broke the un corroborated story that a son should mess with manifolds and we submitted a freedom of information act request in london police and now we have received a response as a snitch i cannot has the details. sources say anonymous sources say well placed sources say one source multiple sources and on and on and on goes the merry go round the game of he said she said

a staple of journalism and politics alike these days when so often so much is at stake across the atlantic action in congress is stealing the show there trump's former attorney michael cohen claims the us president was aware that we cue leaks would be dumping the infamous clinton e-mails that hillary claimed played a part in her not being elected among a bunch of other allegations one of the pieces of this puzzle is weak you leave and its role in trying to presidency founder julian the function here in london. a century job at their core dorrian members who did or didn't visit him in the time leading up to the major leak and what the guardian reported in november that trump's then campaign manager paul mann afford had been at the embassy in twenty sixteen months before the emails were released something both man of fort and wiki leaks deny the paper reported that mt affords visit was not logged as would usually be normal protocol but let's not forget that london's metropolitan police had kept

a watchful eye on the embassy twenty four seven from twenty twelve until twenty fifteen when nonstop surveillance ended but a so-called covert plan was bolstered it is no longer proportionate to commit officers to a permanent presence the m.p.'s will not discuss what form of continuing operation will take all the resulting implications surrounding it are to filed a freedom of information request with the metropolitan police service to find out more since the confirmation of any controversial visits from the police would provide at least some certainty something that washington too had requested details are. it's no secret that you have been conducting surveillance of the equador an embassy in london since july in the sanch entreated back in june two thousand and twelve can you please provide any documents relating to poor men affords entering or departing from the ecuadorian embassy since twenty twelve until the present and this is what we heard back to confirm or deny whether the m.p.'s holds any

documents in relation to pull manifold entering or departing from the ecuadorian embassy would cause operational harm to the m.p.'s and affect our ability to fulfill our call function of law enforcement or yes or no from the police on what did or didn't happen to be embassy would have potentially turned over geishas into certainty but until all the evidence is on the table all that's left is to pick and choose whose claims can be trusted more respected churkin our party. people have been arrested in a joint austin german operation against doping network at the nordic world championships here's our europe correspondent peter oliver. 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 kazakstan we also understand that 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 you're a new record an athlete in action who was undergone 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 kane 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 there for as the lynchpin of doping is already in the studio have they finally learned that doping is not only part of cycling still i would like to see equal limits and rules among all sports doping is rampant in sports but our biased media still obsessed with a cold war see that it's only russian athletes as they've been forced to never start in the program if you will about doping in cycling. material sports consultant alice cashman police this case should be considered a wake up courted by dope of one kind or another i think it would be claimed again for the past two or three years a blame game that has been pointing the finger at russia and say that this is the source of all evils when it comes to doping in sport it all starts in russia and it ends in russia no ass in the world is really involved on the scale the russians

being involved and now we have new urgency that hate going on it it's not just in russia this is happening elsewhere in europe and probably beyond europe the truth is that it's going on everywhere and i don't think anybody's going to start accusations that austria or germany are involved in state sponsored doping but we could say that the something rather more sinister force here because if there are these so-called international global criminal gangs who are at work then there could be supply and potentially anybody in the world illegally knowing some contras the kind of dope that use habitually by athletes is not illegal what is illegal is to deal in and maybe that's what they're going to pin on this particular gang. along mark meetings been taking place between u.s. president and the north korean leader in the yemeni capital they took part in

a photo call and here with the body language coming in for sounds good today. donald trump does is put his other hand on top of that is dominant 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 is all the gold he is feeling

dominant and naturally trying to dominate tim sherwood he is also trying not to over do it he's trying to make him comfortable and i suspect it's a head of the main set of talks that are going to take place tomorrow the first round of talks have now concluded. 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 and 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 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 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 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. 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 respectfully 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 and sold to mid range missile issues do though 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. expecting great things coming out of the summit. 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 moon 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 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. west north korean summit started absolutely impossible just two years ago maybe there's still a chance for a happy conclusion. stay with us now for a documentary called crisis childhood which is up next here on alt. you know. that up i got up john. wilkins one of the she knew a little. warren

buffett you know these doing the stock buybacks which is you know used to be a legal control recently that's completely fraudulent and yes no governance or oversight whatsoever you know he's a more the more of the biggest are the biggest shareholder of wells fargo for example during that period when they were engaged in serial criminality when they were engaged in absolute fraud and he's a party to that so here's a guy who given unlimited credit at zero percent and is exempt from the rule of law still can't seem to make money for his shareholders which is you know. just foreign. isis fighters and boarding

a philippine naval ship. to your mom evidence. they have been doing that and i'm going. to. pull my dope on a sixteen metal diamond honestly did you know this one dollar i mean. it's so. easy. to think about it. kinda. new.

it didn't ask for.
