the pakistani government has summoned the u.s. ambassador after president on threatened to cut off aid and using pakistan of giving safe haven to terrorists under pressure from its neighbors as well as the u.s. pakistan is now planning to take control of charities and financial assets linked to a man considered a terrorist by many countries the u.s. and india say half a saint was behind the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai that killed more than one hundred sixty people that are actually going to. there's a ten million dollar reward for any information leading to the conviction of half is site yet here he is at a rally last week protesting u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel the united states believes saeed is the mastermind of the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai over the course of four days attackers used automatic weapons and grenades to kill more than one hundred sixty people say he has denied involvement in the attacks and a court in pakistan found there was insuffici

i took my friend in the pakistani army to do it.to myself he had been out of the cia for 20 years, going to call his friend in the pakistani army and they are going to take a helicopter over afghanistan and he is that close that they can shoot this footage, my goodness. this tie that i thought might have ended with, 20 years later, certainly very strong so that is my way of saying the links are still there. what they said to me was it could certainly be using me, they wanted the coleman family to allow the parents to see their grandchildren and allow me to bring them over to see them but i would have to bring a letter from the us government which means something official. with the last three weeks that is what we were trying to do so it is difficult for me to believe entirely that the haqqanis would allow any of their men to kill a girl. about this. children being born in a baked mud hut in a compound in tribal areas on the afghan border cannot do this alone, they have to do this with mothers, with women to nurture those children an

most of them were pakistani but it was an al qaeda operation. many people feel that it was al qaeda's way of announcing to the world that they existed. we know what they just did a few weeks before in 911, but it was in the political world, in the political kidnapping world, this was their way of saying we are here. they introduced a new form of political warfare. kidnapping started about 1983 in hezbollah taking other journalists in beirut, but post- 911, which is the focus now, those people, all of those held by hezbollah was never a ransom demand. they were used as ponds against united states and france and that also was the first time the second part or the second side to the two-sided warfare in that is suicide bombing. that is when they bombed the marine corps barracks and the french paratrooper barrett spread the first political suicide bombing in the afghan pakistani theater took place in pakistan in 1995. it was orchestrated by the head of al qaeda and it's a very interesting back story to that. i would come to that in a moment. the sec

establishment and pakistani if you stablish merge. the relationship. but the americans were to be indicated that they are prepared to cut the funding base of the military and of an economic kind but the pakistanis have suggested that the numbers being bandied about are completely unrealistic and don't actually exist what do you think. no i think what they have announced is the cut to the military financing which is called f m f which is part of a military plan i'm saying and yes can't be just coalition support fine these aborts military support to pakistan at them at this device spares and other military centers basically for pakistani militants and you get everyone in the military financing i don't think i'm going to support that. konami. they haven't already and i'm an economic. activity yeah so much that. i could not make it. at the last larger ability to. impact on. global economic stability inside it's going to look. like. and basically like a park is not meet exports to the us us is the third largest export market for pakistani good practice i gu

. >> today one pakistani writer basically described the u.s. and pakistan as locked in a monstrous pact they made during soviet occupation of afghanistan, when they walked in with their saudi friends carrying suitcases full of cash to give the ussr a bloody nose. what do you say to that? because it appears that you and the u.s. are locked into this paradigm. >> you know, i do not believe one requires to be a stable genius to do some very basic mathematics. the great new year tweet president trump tweeted after there were many other interesting tweets, including calling all african countries shitholes, but that's not what we're discussing right now. as i said it does not take a genius to understand basic mathematics. he talks about $33 billion pakistan received from america in terms of assistance. pakistan has received somewhere to the tune of $4.8 billion under the head of military assistance and somewhere to the tune of $5.2 billion in the realm of civilian assistance. and i'm not one who believes pakistan has not had its own faults. we've had

who can create about anything and of course you can see the response from the pakistani come on. pakistan thank you very much for that come on now the wild news an oil tanker has caught fire and thirty two crew are missing after a collision with a congo ship off the coast of china this happened off shanghai where the young see even me say east china sea says looking for that missing saying is from iran and bangladesh who work for and even in shipping company rescue a save the twenty one crew of the other ship involved there are concerns about the environment as a tanker was carrying one hundred thirty six thousand tons of crude oil robin wright is in beijing with more. the main priority is still for the fate of the crew members on board the tanker it is an iranian tanker the senshi and most of the crew are iranians with two bangladeshis on board as well the crew from the other vessel which is a bulk carrier they have all been accounted for twenty one chinese nationals we are told have been rescued from this vessel this collision happened some three hundred kilometers off the east

has done anything against the pakistani law so there is a pressure on the pakistani government to view this today. in a national security committee meeting there was a. meeting by august on dog miller to your offices meetings and the political leadership meeting to chart a policy how to deal with it because it's too difficult to see there's not a was and he is part of the defense. which is an umbrella are going to ization up having a number of illegal political parties bending his head if you are going to addition specially. going to ization. it has just to interrupt you very very quickly on the meticulous point if i mean come on why is it being driven to a conclusion that india might be happy with if this man is in the crosshairs of being held accountable i mean is it the judiciary or is it the politicians in pakistan that a pushing this at the moment. i think this is. said the secular leading politician in the political party is in it when they were instrumental in blocking hafiz say the political party the million muslim league the government was under so much pressure there didn't

the question that i want to read the marquis had the americans in look at in a somber love in a pakistani establishment cede that it wasn't that all own caucus on intelligence and the military because that man was not schools to provide any assistance to the american cia in look at the us army london i don't think pakistan would get a hold of a country applying to be a dick and release and the reason being is quite simple because. china has invested a fifty six billion dollars in this in this one of the prime projects so baucus on is no longer financially dependent on americans as it used to be done ten years ago or five years ago and you have no longer dependent on american aid we don't need it i think i believe that box on would ever listen to the americans whether it comes to a desk to take an interest. a german judge has cause i created a trial in bavaria for removing a crucifix from his court room for a muslim asylum seeker the afghan man is suspected of threatening to kill a fellow countryman for converting to christianity our europe correspondent peter all of our has been following

officials converge for an emergency security meeting to discuss the issue but pakistanis in general haven't taken trump's tweet so kindly and ironically enough it seems to have united the country's warring factions for example imran khan chairman of pakistan's they have akin softhearted had a pretty interesting reaction calling truck mentally weak now the u.s. has even placed pakistan on a special watch list for allegedly violating religious freedom but with all that being said the war in afghanistan is far from over and the u.s. has already lost thousands of lives and spent trillions of dollars but without its neighbor support it's unclear how far the u.s. can really go. still to come a lot more including reports saudi arabia's intercepted another ballistic missile fall by the sea rebels in yemen that had been in the last couple developments stay with us. a plate for many flips over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money kill the narr

answer some of those questions or go live now to tell out as a retired lieutenant general of the pakistani army you're very welcome to the program this hour how do you interpret double tweet your thoughts on donald trump's tweeter. yeah i think he came that i think he is just trying to sort of express his frustrations in fact he's trying to place blame on pakistan to sort of shift the blame on the exactly what the american policy has failed to do they think that by placing blame on pakistan they are going to solve the problem of understand they are sadly mistaken this is exactly the same policy that they pursued in weird nam where they failed it's the same policy that they have been pursuing in afghanistan where they have completely failed and having failed in the policy in afghanistan they tried to place the blame on pakistan so as far as pakistan is concerned it is in the foremost interest of pakistan to have stability in afghanistan because if there is one country which is most adversely affected by the poor conditions in afghanistan or instability in afghanistan is pakistan so how on e

what i think is significant is that the statements made by some pakistani officials about not sharing intelligence is their way of retaliating for the planned aid suspension. and it's also their way of basically underlining that the united states needs pakistan if it's going to try to stabilize afghanistan. >> sreenivasan: when the president sent out his tweet, it seems like he was ahead of military advisers, intelligence community, state department, people who usually would be in on something like this. >> absolutely. there are two ways to look at this. on the one hand, the direction, or the general direction of american policy had been clear, atstince august. in august, president tru gav a speech. he made abundantly clear that he was going to get tougher on pakistan, and that he wanted pakistan to do more to fight the pakistani taliban and the haqqani group. so the general direction of a harder line was obvious. on the other hand, you know, the new year's day tweet stunned people across the agencies in the united states. and you're right, it included you know d.o.d., the state depar
