to see them again ramana koester of artsy moscow region we've been getting reaction the last 24 hours or so to walter occurred including from aviation safety advocate and pilot get in you are as he told us birds are the most common problem facing airports and pilots what landed the plane was skilled in result. people describe it as a miracle i don't prefer i don't call america i prefer to call it a shiny example of the professionalism and skill of the 2 pilots are you support for an angry mood and thankfully those events are incredibly rare. do a lot of booze your engines it is such these days that you know the idea of getting you some particular an entire career without even having one engine fell in line to the same time engines are designed to accept the impact of one or 2 but unfortunately does tend to find the area around our fields quite attractive it's
12:07 pm
supposed to the environment. as a speeding up issues they feel safe from their ports spend an awful lot of energy trying to keep birds off the airfield that's mitigating vices like scaring some some out of court suv used predatory birds to frighten off the other birds they do have entire teams who work exclusively keeping birds as way from the affluent as much as possible of course if the birds are just outside they have field there's not a lot the outward so can do. onto another big story of the day and made escalating hostilities between pakistan and india the indian defense minister has stressed that new delhi will continue to abide by the no 1st use policy when it comes to nuclear weapons however he did have this warning. just through that till now india has strictly adhered to the no 1st use policy what happens in the future depends on
12:08 pm
the sickest and says. the current tensions are over kashmir the region at the northern tip of india and pakistan both countries lay claim to kashmir with the united nations describing it as a disputed territory the so-called line of control here in red remains to the fuck job order on the countries maintain their own administrations within the territory in august new delhi stripped kashmir of its special ptolemy status pakistan says that decision has the stabilised the status quo in the region the un perhaps it's changes to the status of any disputed state it's also fear that kashmir is majority muslim population could be targeted by people of other faiths in the region with the conflict already into its 72nd year without a solution. well
12:09 pm
let's get into this element further with surround charlie it's around this professor and dean at the jindal school of international affairs good to see it am i supposed today's announcement you know cut india decided to reinterpret the no 1st use policy as a response to say chemical or biological weapon attacks that is the fear here isn't it because if you go back to 2003 that's when the nuclear doctrine was altered
12:10 pm
somewhat to be more i suppose flexible in its response could not be chipped away at for other. but you know meet certain a nanny and wyoming strategically speaking saw india has been thinking of all the evolution of its nuclear doctrine for the last 20 years now so in 1909 you know after being nuclear. could this north 1st use principle along with something else called the credible minimum deterrent and destruct estie any more weapons after there it was going to want to source since then what has happened is you know the world has changed. our stance that nuclear arsenal has grown by some accounts it is a faster screwing in the world and the chinese arsenal remain some more than double are even 3 don't larger than that of india so because of the. security competition with china and the political game to understand or kashmir another matter select
12:11 pm
terrorism there is a you know of need been fighting this critic circles in india who evaluate this no 1st use principle and do think it will hold if we are facing a conventionally superior force lecture then you know it doesn't make sense to adopt north was due and even even if so and so you can we don't see there so that direction had pakistan you're seeing this more as a global issue because let's not forget what is happening in the midst of the kashmir a conflict you've got india and pakistan 2 nuclear powers facing all. not these are what i mean sort of chinese is the long term strategic threat which you know has forced us to rethink for many years but pakistan doesn't matter because you see there is something or nuclear blackmail without some has been using against india by which they say that look nuclear so we cannot afford an escalation 2 or full scale war and so you have to be had with the you have these stir of terrorism that
12:12 pm
this once or across our border in indian country we saw india is trying to carve the nuclear but bluff of pants on by saying look north was tuesday's not a 2nd storm if the circumstances change as our defense ministry saying maybe she means if pakistan and downs in a large scale terrorism wonderful meant you know an uprising against india in the indian country in our price to you know do incursions into india did agree then the me have to rethink that you know where it is not a good day to signal when not to conduct any military misadventures of kashmir so the chinese the big brother another us press to their ceramic i just want to get your thoughts on it briefly because india has historically not want to really be international community i believe that take a more active part in the kashmir dispute pakistan is the other side of the coin they want mediators to come in if that happened what would international involvement until you think. well you see how can india don't want to be restrained
12:13 pm
especially on the sponsorship of around islamic extremists are and these jihad this you know problem and a proxy war so india has visibility saying look we want we don't want an escalation definitely not to the nuclear level in fact bunsen has the conventional legal state has been threatening that we have that we may be able to use our options at hand which is a nuclear weapons so i think what we're saying is let's call a hoax premium and let's come down the tensions and let's not fight you know all kashmir is an internal matter of india bunsen is no longer stand over it and they're there for seeing you not better think twice before attempting any kind of our conventional our military our you know non conventional form of terrorism against us because we have that is of the right to respond and retaliate massively sir and thanks for your time and your thoughts this hour surrounds surely
