so we have been listening there a very very brief news conference from the indian foreign ministry from the indian foreign ministry spokesperson saying that a pilot has been lost in action this does follow what the pakistani government has been saying that they shot down two indian fighter jets they arrested one indian pilot and another is receiving treatment in a pakistani hospital again all the indian government the indian foreign ministry is saying about this so far is that a pilot is missing in action let's go now to our correspondent affairs jamil who's joining us live from the indian capital new delhi competing narratives on every incident affairs and not a lot from the indian government about what the pakistanis are saying about the two fighter jets that they shot down. well that's correct up until now until we just had the press conference which we just saw we hadn't heard anything officially from the indian government they've been very tight lipped unlike their pockets on the counter parts of oxygen military was a lot more free in the information they were given in fact most of

armed group jaish e mohammad took responsibility for that and yesterday we heard from the foreign ministry the indian foreign ministry saying that they had to carry out a preemptive strike in pakistan in pakistan administered made on jaish e mohammad because they had alerted the pakistani government many times to where the group was operating what it was doing and that the pakistan pakistani government wasn't doing anything about them. well that's exactly it india didn't want to actually get to the situation that really having today they said they're strike on tuesday was actually preemptive they had intelligence of the armed group jaish e mohammed as you mentioned carried out the suicide bombing earlier this month that this was a preemptive attack against them and also that it was a nonmilitary they use that specific word a non military air strike saying that it was not targeting any pakistani military or civilian infrastructure or installations and they've been scoping that that would have been enough to kind of deescalate the situation to keep tensions from going up even further but as we've seen

armed group behind a suicide attack in the indian administered kashmir was the target of the indian foreign ministry says many fighters were killed at the same mohammed training camp to caught the group of claimed responsibility for the attack that killed at least forty indian paramilitary personnel earlier this month but islamabad denies there were any casualties or damage done by the indian airstrikes pakistani military spokesman tweeted these pictures said to show deputy from the strikes the indian government says the fighters were being trained to carry out another attack in the face of its danger a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary. in an intelligence led operation in the early hours of today india struck the biggest training camp of the just a moment in balakot in this operation a very large number of gentian mamak terrorists trainers senior commanders and groups of jihad these who being trained for free then action were eliminated the government of india is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all necessary measures to fight the minutes of terrorism hence this nonmilitary pre

he is in the custody right where that was an indian foreign ministry spokesman now pakistan has also closed its airspace to commercial traffic is on a bad says it had no choice but to respond to india's attack but added it didn't want to escalate the crisis. sort of one year but i and we decided to take action today we only wanted to show india that we're able to and if you come into our land we will always retaliate to indian jets across the border and they were shot down i will say the pilots are with us the problem is where do we go from here this is a very important issue i am addressing india it is very important that we use wisdom here are the latest round of tensions began when a suicide attack killed forty indian paramilitary forces that was on february the fourteenth a pakistan based group claimed responsibility for that a new delhi blamed islam a bad allegations pakistan is reject right fred shemale is our correspondent in the indian capital first so let's go to iran callan he's our correspondent in islamabad an iran we've heard and seen your namesake the prime minister imr

how we might respond, and ina modi and how we might respond, and in a statement from the indian foreign ministryand decisive action, but with an indian pilot still being held by pakistan, narendra modi knows he needs to tread carefully with any action. and so he faces a dilemma, huw — ii action. and so he faces a dilemma, huw — 11 hand, in a matter of weeks he will be fighting an election campaign where he will want to show voters that he can be tough when it comes to national security, and with pakistan. but he is also facing increasing pressure from the international community to de—escalate, so here is the challenge. public opinion in india is calling on him to retaliate and retaliate fast, but he knows that a costly conflict with neighbouring pakistan will be risky for him in the long term. rajini, many thanks again for the latest from delhi, rajini vaidyanathan, our india correspondent. the labour mp chris williamson has been suspended by the party after suggesting that labour had been "too apologetic" over allegations of anti—semitism among party members. he had apologised for the comments

the indian foreign ministry said today it made a statement in which it contested the allegations madeis. the one thing they seem the pakistanis. the one thing they seem to agree on the pakistanis. the one thing they seem to agree on was the pakistanis. the one thing they seem to agree on was that there was an aerial exchange between the pakistani air force and the indian air force. what the indians are saying is that they in fact shut down one pakistani eject and that the pakistanis only managed to shoot down one of theirjets. they have described the pilot of that jet down one of theirjets. they have described the pilot of thatjet is being missing in action. when asked very quickly at this press co nfe re nce very quickly at this press conference in the morning what had happened to that pilot, we were told that the indians were now investigating pakistani claims that they had him in custody. none of this is particularly surprising, as james has been saying. throughout the dispute over the sovereignty of kashmir there has always been a ping—pong of claim and counterclaim between these

indian jets. in another video which has seen been deleted the information ministry showed one of the captured pilot from one of the indian planes. the indian foreigninistry gave us this update. against this counterterrorism action, pakistan has responded this morning. try using its air force, action, pakistan has responded this morning. try using its airforce, to target military installations on the indian side. due to a high state of readiness and alertness, pakistan's attem pts readiness and alertness, pakistan's attempts were filed successfully. the pakistan air force was detected, and the indian air force responded insta ntly. and the indian air force responded instantly. in that area of engagement, one pakistani air force fighter aircraft was shot down by a mid—21 typhoon of the indian air force. it was seen by ground forces falling from the sky on the pakistani side. in this engagement, we have last, unfortunately, one minute 21, the pilot is missing in action, and pakistan has claimed that he is in their custody. a news briefing was organised after the two indian jets were shut down. our correspondent in islamabad, secunder kermani told us

indian prime minister in response to the events today but we did get a statement from the indian foreign ministry saying that they started their statement by saying they had summoned pakistan's act in high commissioner to the ministry of external affairs where they say they lodged a strong protest at what they call the unprovoked action of aggression by pakistan against india. they demanded the immediate release of the pilot we saw in james's port, the wing commander. they want him to be returned safely. —— report. they say india reserves the right to take firm and precise action against its sovereignty. they wonder what action will be taken. theresa may says the uk remains "firmly on course" to leave the european union with a deal if mps hold their nerve. she made the comments in a newspaper article, ahead of votes in the commons this evening on the government's brexit strategy. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, reports. despite the signs, spring isn't in everyone's step in westminster. parliament's working out the implications of the prime minister's latest plan, the possibility brexit

i was in new delhi last week that was organized by the indian foreign ministry. one of the panel discussions was actually about the pacific security regime and the panelists were actually -- the admirals of -- the quad, japan, united states, australia, india, there was also participation from a french admiral as well. as you can probably imagine in a public forum in india, none of them were going to go out of their way to say anything controversial, but at the same time it was clear that they wanted to present this unified position, speak with one voice. and what was that one voice? that one voice was to talk about the threat of china and the rise of china and the need for the quad to cooperate together to take -- take a firm position against beijing and that is going to be the challenge. going back to what i said at the beginning, to what extent will japan be able to decouple its relations with china on the one hand, have strong trade and economic relationships while continuing to view china as a -- not just a strategic rival, but as a military threat as well. >

officials have rejected pakistan's offer to investigate last week's militant attack on indian security forces. the foreign ministry lame excuse" the pakistani prime minister's call for evidence to substantiate delhi's claims of pakistani involvement. more than a0 indian security officers died in the suicide bombing in indian—administered kashmir last thursday. the islamist group, jaish—e—mohammad, says it carried out the attack, but india says pakistan's intelligence agency was also involved. white house officials pushed a plan to build nuclear power reactors in saudi arabia, ignoring legal and ethical warnings. that's the claim from whistle—blowers which are detailed in a report released by a house committee. the plan was described by one senior official as a scheme to make some money for those involved. the fashion world has been paying tribute to the legendary designer karl lagerfeld, who has died in paris following a short illness. his italian colleague, donatella versace, said he was a source of inspiration for her and her late brother, gianni versace. the editor in chief of vogue magazine, anna wintour, said

they so to level now what we're hearing from the ministry of foreign affairs and the army are very strong statements when it comes to the downing of the indian aircraft now the army in the ministry of foreign affairs insists that two fighter jets were downed on one pilot has been arrested and two were killed in the last hour we've seen footage been released by the pakistani all the of the downed aircraft pictures of the captured pilot himself so the pakistanis are saying that we have this man in custody this did happen however the indians seem to be playing this down saying that the aircraft actually crushed and they're not giving as much information as the pakistanis now if you watch the pakistani media here this is being seen as a very serious ratcheting up of tensions a loss on pakistan down the pilot was nearly a decade ago so it's been a very long time since escalations have been the tensions have been at this sort of level where it goes from here is going to be key whether it becomes a diplomatic thing or whether it was it becomes a military thing remains the same all right jim ron thank you for that imran khan there our correspondent

indian fighter pilot captured by pakistan has become the face of the crisis pakistani villagers filmed his capture and clips and gone viral on social media making him a hero in his homeland and his foreign ministry has accused pakistan of violating international law is what indian citizens in new delhi had to say about the tensions. and for noir to truth to you know you see the employee choice in the i'm more in favor of anything towards anything but what this kind of still story to always has to be me to see the least there is a must win if somebody is doing wrong plus we should fight back when i don't because this is a fictional dignity to our nation that is what we can believe that it would be like a bubble rocked the problem is inside the bubble if we don't step out the bubble and look at the problem we will not be able to find a solution india and pakistan are inside the bubble we have to step out to move forward. a saudi ministers told the un human rights council in geneva that the kingdom will cooperate with the un human rights mechanisms but bear the minister of state for foreign affairs didn't say whether that includes the un led investigation into the murder of journalist jamal khashog

the pakistanis in the indians dawned sort of settle discussion issue peace will not be distorting of londonistan that's one factor to it. the reason that the african foreign ministry summoned. the embassador was for his remarks just like you said but the other reason is that the afghan government looks at. the taliban as a proxy off the pakistani government and back and taliban on the other hand if you recall when mohammad been sort of man was dead in pakistan the taliban were supposed to meet and run khan and mohammed bin sunline but they can so did citing that the afghan government that the afghan government sort of rejected their troubles because they are under do you travel bans the taliban proved that they are and dependent and they are not and did the pakistani and the pakistani influence and also the saudi influence and they are a cancer to the. talks that what happened what was supposed to happen two weeks ago let me come with a final question to you because there are signs that the u.s. and the taliban have agreed in principle on the withdrawal of u.s. troops but reports indicate the president may be looking to withdraw perhaps half of those troops by the
