Im sorry kelly welcome to the program the e. U. Has called on india and pakistan to exercise maximum restraint amid a sharp escalation in tension between the two Nuclear Powers delhi overnight. Targeted what it called a terrorist camp inside pakistan indian media say that up to three hundred people may have been killed in the raid now this is the first time in many years that indian warplanes have crossed the line of control dividing the contested kashmir region pakistan acknowledged that india violated a terror space but denies reports of casualties tensions have been growing since kashmiri separatists killed forty indian soldiers two weeks ago now the Indian Foreign secretary says the delhi acted on credible intelligence a pakistan based militants were plotting more attacks across india in the face of. 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 this operation a very large number of gentian a moment that exists between those see their commanders and groups of jihad these who are being treated for free they would eliminate to. Them the Pakistani Foreign ministry issued a warning to india not to challenge his country he called indias action and aggression against pakistan and a violation of the line of control he said that pakistan reserve the right to an appropriate response in its self defense. Of the war on this story im joined now by political analyst. In islam about and d. W. Correspondent. Is standing by in delhi and the misha id like to begin with you and just get a sense of how significant these strikes are. Well its not the significance of this these strikes here just primarily on the attack that happened in fish meat on february fourteenth less than two weeks ago forty Indian Security forces lost their lives in the dead attack and ever since then the country has been waiting and watching the public has been calling for action against pakistan theres been a lot of talk is there on board mongering sentiment on the streets and because back when the similar attack happened in twenty sixteen india claimed to have counted out a Surgical Strike another strike was expected this finally is that moment where india has scouted out a strike came from i found out a strike in pakistan and as we heard the foreign secretary say this was a strike that they see is preemptive and that a gesture camp was wiped out now the. Games responsibility for that attack and push me so this is india pushing back this is and searching that such data would not be tolerated in the valley and of course india and pakistan have gone to war at least twice before over the issue of question so this is exactly the kind of cautioning that india wants to put forward at this point ok so thats the view from india meantime we have the response from the Pakistani Foreign minister essentially saying that the country is reserving the right to an appropriate response in its selfdefense and it does with that id like to turn to you what could we expect from the pakistani side now. Well as up to now the response from the pakistani side has been very very calculated measured the the Prime Minister had a meeting of the National Security council and the foreign minister just spoke with the media a few minutes ago and the consensus emerging from all those meetings there the Prime Ministers office where the army also participated as being to in gauge with the world or the world propagators diplomatically pakistan is of the right this said for a retaliation but it would not retaliate and would. Rather focus on diplomatic efforts diplomacy for uprising the word of pakistans position and the position is that yes there were missions are taken place but as far as the government is concerned Army Operational consent theyre denying theyre denying the kind of damages that india is claiming from these aerial strikes ok so you think a centrally a measured response here but the nimish i mean the reality is that there have been asking leading tensions arm but tween these two countries just put this into context for us because there is a long history here of course. Well i thought it was is the creation of india and pakistan bushmeat has been a flashpoint between the two countries as ive mentioned two wars have been fought over pakistan but what a fight over kashmir excuse me but what is truly significant about this particular strike is that india if it did carry out a strike in the location where it says it did crossed the line of control or not the line of control of the defacto line the drones between india and the start bushmeat and pakistan oddness to push me and even back when the last war over fish meat happened in one thousand nine hundred ninety and the fog of war ending on forces did not breach the endless sea however this time they have not only crossed the elysee beyond pakistan ive been a state push me but theyve actually gone into pakistani territory which is what makes this strike significant back in twenty sixteen when a similar attack on Indian Security forces led to the loss of nineteen lives all of indian soldiers india also had claimed that had gathered out of Surgical Strike that in that incident also it had crossed the elysee but it has believe that it was only only went as far as box final q by this means that this is one of the deepest attacks that india may have thought about and of course this is something that is being congratulated here in india but for the action of course is dependent on how exactly pakistan reacts and how india decided to solve or two and even times perhaps you can weigh in when we talk about this because i mean another. Factor perhaps here is that we also have a new Prime Minister also there in pakistan just talk with us you know about the approach that he is having especially with dealing with this militant group. Well i think pakistans our Prime Minister as well as the Army Leadership has been very clear about all these militant groups that they really unwanted that they have to be dealt with but then they also explain that it has its own social political argumentations and risks associated with it two or three organizations have said have a huge number of following its to religious seventies theyre running across the country several hundred and about half a million a Young Students are studying at those senate is primarily religious studies so there is a theres a difference between militants terrorists and the students who are the seminaries and its a its a good way to difficult proposition paxson is trying after having banned them in two thousand and two its trying to neutralize the impact of these militant organizations constrain them in their activities and or push it has been nor the north allegations you know from the from india backed in this case this was strange that there was a curious claim of responsibility and india has made that view this claim as the justification for getting out right is incursions into the sunnier space when i thank you very much and it has good in islamabad animation gys fall in delhi we appreciate your insight. Now for the first time british Prime Minister to resign may has told m. P. s that they will be given a chance to delay braggs it if her deal is defeated again many has faced threats of senior minister aerial resignations unless she promises to allow members of parliament to extend the march deadline to avoid a no deal bryson politicians will vote again on her agreement on march the twelfth the move coming as the main Opposition Labor Party has finally offered support for a second referendum if it cant get the brights the deal it wants for more lets bring in correspondent baerga mass who is standing outside of parliament for us in london beer good to reason may just giving this statement before Parliament Fill us in on why this is a bit of a big change of course here isnt it. Its a big change in course there is a may was supposed to give the sort of meaningful vote on the brakes a deal today but that hasnt happened because she isnt expecting to get it through now shes still negotiating with brussels but she has promised that she will bring this varies by the middle of march and if it doesnt get through if she cant get it through the house of parliament she knows that many parliamentarians cabinet ministers in her own party are very desperate to seek an extension to get an extension so she has said she will then have a vote on a possible extension of all of this leaving period but she also says not more than two months so by the end of june thats what she says the u. K. Will have to leave the European Union so what beer get then does this mean for the price that process i mean what can we expect in the next weeks. More negotiation and reason why is stressing that she doesnt want to stop the breaks of roses she doesnt want to extend article fifty that this is what would be for i have an absolute last free. She says then we are actually facing another cliff edge at the end of june and this sort of cliff edge scenario is of course the reason why many parliamentarians here in westminster are also so desperate they dont want to crash out of the e. U. They dont want to leave without a deal because its severe implications for business also for security and there are many that really want to avoid this scenario at all costs and tourism a saying well if we called reach a deal within the next couple of weeks then an extension about maximum two months now Opposition LeaderJeremy Corbyn for his part he announced yesterday that he would support a second referendum is this something that we could see happening after all here baerga. Well the fact that labor has thrown his weight behind us like the referendum is a huge gain for those who have complained for a referendum because it was so far none of the big parties was behind it but its we also know its the Opposition Party so at the moment they would need the support of the conservative party now to reason may have said again in a Statement Today that she doesnt want a referendum that. Trail off the brakes a vote and she she really doesnt want it so it remains to be seen whether it can happen but at least there is a possibility so those who want to some will stop breaks it for them it was a happy moment when Jeremy Corbyn announced that mass in london thank you. The vatican has responded to the conviction of australian Cardinal George pell on five counts of sexually assaulting children describing it as painful news saying that it will await the outcome of the appeals process hell the vaticans treasurer says that he is innocent and will contest the conviction accord in melbourne found that was guilty of assaulting two thirteen year old choirboys in the late one nine hundred ninety s. No you will make a New York PostCardinal George pell faced a torrent of abuse as he left his latest Court Hearing in melbourne so now hes free but victims outside the court are calling for a tough sentence for the catholics and be told we await them on that he be excommunicated from the george pell is amongst a freak he has to be child not home detention none of these thirty we just we want to seeming gyle we want to see him for all i even tell. The jury found that tell sexually assaulted two choir boys in a melbourne cathedral in one thousand nine hundred ninety six the unanimous verdict was handed down on december eleventh but due to a suppression order reporting is only now being allowed a previous trial resulted in a hung jury pelle has always denied the charges. And simple. Im innocent of these charges of the photos the whole idea of sexual abuse is apparent to me. Cal is on leave from his role as treasurer the third most powerful position in the vatican. He is also australias most senior catholic cleric. And. Pope francis has in the past praised pell for his response to abuse but his conviction is another stain on a church whose leaders are accused of failing to deal with child sexual abuse within their ranks. So lets get more now we are joined by Roger Maynard who has been following this case from australia roger we have george pell now facing a long sentence legally speaking but you know we saw in that piece that there are many people that also want the church to go further could we also see him dismissed from the priesthood or even excommunicated. Well its academic of the stage all you know at the moment is that pearl is appealing the conviction that proves this may take some time same some months maybe even ear if that appeal is unsuccessful then its possible the inquiry will be taken up by the vatican they will then consider the allegations against him and if they decide sir then he could be deemed frock oryx communicate it but were talking about a fairly long timeframe here some of them may take many months possibly even years now has the story certainly not over yet in the meantime we know that the Media Coverage of his case it was subject to a news embargo why did the judge issued that order well the those suppression order was imposed because there was a second case involving george bell due to a in march involving separate charges of a sexual abuse and it was fought third the first trial if it was reported that it might taint the case it might have some kind of effect on the jury in the second trial therefore the judge decided that we better to impose a suppression order so that none of the evidence in the first trial would be made public but of course that all changed today when that suppression order was lifted the australian public at least were given the full opportunity to see what what what the allegations were against pearl and what his reaction was and of course you know and made all of that the victims advocate perhaps other abuse survivors following this case very closely what do you make of the environment now there in australia where you are are we likely to see more target is brought in the wake of this case. Well its possible i suppose but that the story of the the allegations involving the Roman Catholic church of been swirling around for many many years in australia as indeed they have in other parts of the world too there was a Royal Commission healthcare a few years ago and after the Royal Commission a number of people were given financial compensation for the claim was all for the bad experiences they had or claim they had at the time in Church Schools in the catholic institutions when they were when they were children so the issue has been really is fairly extensively over the past few years with more people will be encouraged to make claims against get judged in view of whats been going on in the bill case remains to be seen but certainly theres those theres no suggestion that more people will will will will will make allegations against the Church Although of course its still relatively early go is Roger Maynard in australia thank you. Thank you and lets get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world u. S. Vice president mike pence and venezuelas opposition Opposition Leader one why dell have agreed on a strategy to ramp up the pressure on president Nicolas Maduro they met at a summit of regional leaders in colombia if ellens deadly clashes between supporters and venezuelan Security Forces on the borders with colombia and brazil. The u. N. Is appealing for four point two billion dollars to fund aid for yemen which it describes as the worlds worst humanitarian crisis the Organization Says that twenty Million People lack stable Food Supplies after four years of war it comes as an International Donor conference opens in geneva switzerland. North Korean Leader kim jong un has arrived in vietnam ahead of a second summit with u. S. President donald trump kim is due to begin his meetings with trump on wednesday the two leaders are set to discuss how to implement a promise by pyongyang to give up its Nuclear Weapons security has been stepped up in the vietnamese capital one knowing in preparation for this. And either of you has been speaking with people on the streets there they say that they are proud that the summit is taking place in their country. Has always been a city for peace. And this event is all about resolving matters so we very happy. City is getting more bustling on the streets have been decorated. Vietnam the citizens of peace. We really hope the two countries leaders will reach agreements so that the world can live in peace. The world will learn about viet nam as being a very friendly and peaceful country. That the event will be successful and vietnam will become the next destination for other leaders. Now do you corresponded busted heartache is joining us from the noise so as weve heard kim has arrived trump is on his way what are the expectations though for the summit. Sara that really much depends very much on who you ask you ask south korea for example not party to the summit but still one of the countries thats most affected by its outcome theyre going to tell you they want sanctions to be lifted because they want to hand through Economic Cooperation with north korea now north korea wants to say because they want to develop their economy now in addition to that they might also be pushing for some sort of declaration to end the korean war now the u. S. On the other hand they want north korea to give up their Nuclear Weapons now they know the trumpet ministration knows that thats not something thats going to happen quickly its definitely not something thats going to happen here so President Trump has already started downplaying expectations ahead of this summit saying he would already be happy if north korea kept not testing Nuclear Weapons or Ballistic Missiles because one thing is for sure sarah both leaders they need something that they can sell as a victory at home if you think a President Trump for example he already has the next elections in mind now when it comes to a d. Nuclearized Korean Peninsula i mean this is ultimately what donald trump what the United States wants. What can both sides offer to really seal this deal. Well first i think they would have to agree on what each side means by denuclearization because for the u. S. Denuclearization means north korea has to give up all their Nuclear Weapons that means their whole Nuclear Weapons stockpile all capabilities to produce Nuclear Weapons now kim jong un on the other hand has said he agrees to not use make or proliferate Nuclear Weapons and those are all things that look into the future not into whats already there so thats one of the major sticking points of these negotiations now how and if the leaders are going to resolve that sarah only time will tell us and heartache and her noise thank you. Well now in an unexpected move irans foreign minister mohammad geoff its a reef has tendered his resignation he made the announcement on social media offering an apology for what he called his shortcomings its not yet clear if president Hassan Rouhani has accepted his wish to step down a number of prominent members of parliament have called on serif to withdraw the offer sorry for negotiating runs twenty fifty nuclear deal with world powers. A modern take on resigning but more homage of odd saudis instagram posts was vague he offered an apology for all the shortcomings and flaws but gave no reason for his departure all of this was written on a drawing of fatima the prophet muhammads daughter whose birth was being commemorated on monday. In tehran a Foreign Ministry spokesperson quickly confirmed the news but also gave no reason. Its an abrupt end to more than five and a half years as a rainy and foreign minister zarif had a prominent role in negotiating the landmark two thousand and fifteen Nuclear Agreement between iran and Major International powers in exchange for limiting Nuclear Activities to run had economic sanctions lifted but seventy five has been under pressure since the United States withdrew from the pact he expressed his frustration at washington at the Munich Security Conference earlier this month. We have long been the target of an unhealthy fixation lets say an obsession which continues to this very day. The demonisation of my country has been a convenient cross for seven consecutive american president s to better. So at least resignation could play into the hands of hardliners in iran theyve been growing more vocal about their anger towards the countrys moderate president Hassan Rouhani for the weakening state of the iranian economy Mohammad Javad zarif has been one of rouhani his main allies his departure could weaken the president s position.
