This. Week Morning on. The U.K. On digital and on law in Iraq sharp on the world. And at this hour we'll hear about a very very very rare case of 2 twins being barred who are not identical but what is known as Sami identical according to the story they are only the 2nd known case ever. They normally don't survive but the. Share only part of their fathers the any it's a it's an intriguing case and we'll have it all explained to us in about half an hour's time. Well it intriguing story today in The Times saying that Norway with its large sovereign wealth fund derived from Norway use oil or take note that it's going to put lots more money into Britain whatever the outcome of BRICS that it's taking I'll bet a 30 year bet that Britain is going to be and it says here stronger after bricks and so that's just by way of adding to the fact that everybody in Europe is still watching bricks it like a hawk including the Portuguese as I've been hearing from Alison Robertson was been the Portuguese are quite concerned about BRICS it and above all the prospects of a no deal that the ports good Portuguese prime minister Antonio cost to use the phrase hope is the last thing to die at the summit over the weekend where to reason May was again talking to European leaders and he was referring to the possibility of some form of deal being approved before March the 29th although that perhaps is looking a little less likely and in the mean time Portugal has been preparing for a no deal which could be very damaging for it particularly because of tourism very large numbers of British tourists come to portugal every year and it's been the only E.U. Member state that has announced plans for dedicated queues for U.K. Nationals at its airports above all Lisbon and far Oh down in the Algarve on the mainland and also fun child on the islands of Madeira particularly in far I meant Giora to your flights or actually to and from the U.K. So it really wouldn't take much more extra bureaucracy to cause quite serious Peebles to the local tourism industry but of course there's also the question in terms of the U.K. Of an estimated 45000 British citizens living. In Portugal fewer than half of whom are officially registered here as the British ambassador in Lisbon Chris Sainty has acknowledged in addressing pensioners in particular some of you might want to know if the amount you receive will continue to be operated the withdrawal agreement protects the rights if you can nationals resident in Portugal to receive an operated state pension in the future in the event the U.K. Leaves the E.U. Without it to you the U.K. Will continue to operate U.K. State pensions in 20192020 hopes to reach reciprocal arrangements with the E.U. To continue to operate pensions Beyond that well I suppose that's a comfort Alison although it's only a couple years but when you think about the vast numbers of British people who are living in the Algarve and go there for the golf and the better winters and so on it's got to be very worrying for there yes an import you going of course across the I mean this is these are people who have the prospect possibly facing the prospect of being in the same situation as pensioners in Norn E.U. Countries Australia Aarons and and the US for example Canada and that's always been a complaint of pensioners in those countries that the pent up emotions on to update it and meanwhile of course from the Portuguese point of view there are actually almost 10 times as many Portuguese nationals in the U.K. As there are U.K. National see is some 400000 despite the fact that because the Portugal has a much smaller population so all in all the governments in Lisbon is really very keen for relations to move forward smoothly as smoothly as possible. Another international crisis Portuguese got there watching with concern is happening in Venezuela what are the Portuguese doing about that. Well that's right there's actually a very large Portuguese community in Venezuela Estimates vary but in terms of for 1st generation immigrants and then descendants their children's their children their grandchildren this is emigration that's been going on for a very very long time so the Portuguese here are very concerned about the crisis there and the subject is never out of the news in Portugal certainly not in the last few days and weeks and it's also why Portugal is for example a member of the international contact group on Venezuela like the U.K. In fact an observer of the Lima group of countries in the Americas that includes the likes of Canada and Mexico but not the U.S. And that's also trying to find some kind of solution from the crisis this week Peru's president Peru of course being part of that Lima group. Kyra has been in Lisbon on his 1st official trip to Europe and Venezuela inevitably loomed large in the talks he had here he is host Portugal's president Marcella Bello the souls are in welcoming him thanks Peru for taking in hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans many of them of Portuguese origin as he mentioned who crossed the border into that country in recent months because of the crisis in Venezuela he also noted that Portugal and Peru are in strong agreement that the crisis has to be solved by Venezuelans and peacefully the feeling there moves a muscle cell we want a peaceful solution a constitutional transition based on free elections we do not want external interventions namely the military nature NUMMI of the mail the material. That's pretty clear that isn't. While some people may be talking about some kind of external intervention not saw from a Portuguese point of view. Indeed some people meaning of course the US administration they're really the ones we've been talking about that possibility or referring to that possibility but it's something that really worries the Portuguese as it is there's been quite a lot of violence between the 2 main camps in Venezuela and Portuguese emigrants very often who tend to be small business people and they've really been very hard hit by looting and sometimes direct violence and indeed many Venezuelans several thousands have actually ended up in Portugal above all Madeira the island where many of them have roots in the last months and couple of years figures just out in fact show that Madeira as schools last year took in 1100 new pupils just from Venezuela it's been relatively easy for the schools to absorb them since Madeira has a very low birth rate and also immigration continuing so it normally loses about a 1000 peoples a year but it's a small island and in other respects it has to be said that it sprouts struggling to cope with this influx with several 100 families $400.00 families currently waiting for housing there now or dish. Commonly by the Portuguese in the wintertime or by people on the water or along the. Border use fishing trips has won a competition where is it going to be. Yes this is this story is about a recipe that was devised by a leading Portuguese chef key commodity which has won an international competition for the best dish for astronauts to prepare and eat on a mission to Mars obviously prospective manned mission to Mars it hasn't happened yet if you know anything about Portuguese cuisine and I think you do you won't be surprised to hear that this freeze dried delicacy contains Baca Yeah that salt cold but it also has Mediterranean staples such as all lives and parsley as well as egg and potatoes the competition is actually dubbed lapper Tatar Seann of them are Martian potatoes so there might be a bit of sponsorship in there the competition was judged by a panel of Michelin starred chefs on behalf of Spain's astrobiology Center which is one of Nasa's partners one of its many international partners I should at the only thing that occurs to me and you've just explained that this was the Spanish astrobiologist center but however could you get. Some of whom could be America back oh yeah oh. Well back now as you may know has many many different recipes that say 365 some others say it's a half hours and in terms of anyone who's trying it for the 1st time there are certainly some recipes that are more to be recommended than others this one sounds as though it has quite a tasty mixture of ingredients as I mentioned the olives and policy but also stories so which is like the Spanish Jory thought oh sausage so that's quite spicy and tasty I think it sounds like quite an appealing mix actually I think there are some backyard dishes such as simple roast back oh yeah that for someone who's trying it for the 1st time or perhaps not the one to go for. Those are no less appealing food story which is the story about the men's but you find that the butcher shop yes Portugal's leading Consumer Association Deco has released some quite horrific findings of a study that it carried out on mince being sold in butcher shops and supermarkets and it says that fully 75 percent of the samples that it tested contained what it called a cocktail of bacterias that are or could be harmful to health they say that in part this is a result of the me me not being stored at the correct temperature throughout and it's a vising shoppers instead to choose a piece of meat on ground on display to be ground in front of them or indeed to take it home and mince it themselves and it blames both retailers and inspectors for this as I say horrific situation. Alison Roberts in Lisbon Well a quick scan of the morning papers some of them are going on Michael Cohen's testimony some of them are not some I'm actually talking about Prince William was making quite a series of rather interesting speeches one about football and the shame he says of football for exploiting young players that's the Daily Mirror lead and the Daily Express talking about a keynote speech making a Belfast calling for unity and leadership was just a month left until Breck's it so chills as wells that line the sun which also reports edge here and as well as longtime girlfriend and secret we're going to take a look then at the back page of The Daily Mirror and of a good company of Al McKinley Sarah Jane England captain he's been caning bridge bus stop this is. Going so I was Chelsea in the mail and frustration won a small office on the last apparently of the weekend and now. The manager Pitino lost his temper and then this one the England captain incredibly for such a common divisional seem to lose a little bit the kinds of cluster size are still a question and the 2 come together heads touched and then kind of creates a knot in his direction had not been ahead but really but if it isn't in the referee's post much report the lengthy disciplinary committee will have to view that on video and decide whether it would face a disciplinary action if he doesn't get a disciplinary action in a 3 match ban is possible for violent conduct that would rule him out of the weekend's big time. Against Arsenal and obviously that would be a big. Big blow for. The last couple of games apparently going in the game against Chelsea probably fratricidal even playing better without and I have with him since he's come back. Injury. Well at Liverpool nothing to complain about tonight not a solo it's of the start of the start of the evening and still top Mally they played watered on the field and absolutely hammered them 5 close to nil sorry or monnaie because I answered the questions as do I would not oppose about growing questions about Liverpool's title bottle and I well I got the nerve to hang on in the rest of the side like as much does it say. He stood twice he played in a sort of relatively unfamiliar central role scored twice one magnificent back ill go one he'll of a goal headline stunning mana finish Silas's critics who questioned Red's title race bottle. And how a point still a point had amassed a city city expected to comfortably West Ham as not quite how it happened at the edge he had they had to rely on says G'Kar scored his 25th goal of the season in the penalty spot the very very soft penalty Indeed but it's like a West Ham on a course when I was manager model public ring of the old my city manager situation stays the same a top of the table with live a full of nice to say the least little of chipped away at my city's goal difference advances by in those 5 goals as it was all made a contribution to Arsenal's win yet back in asylum is just a couple of minutes to pass Linda laid against Bournemouth after that there was a they played brilliantly as well Silva setting up another gold cup a delightful passing when he plays you want the wall the fuss is about on you. He's back and looking a saying look very very good now people could say well it's a journey against those hungry money against Bournemouth but I'll still be Boma ready 51 and kept up the pressure to keep the pressure on Russia for the top 4 places that are in 4th place point ahead of Manchester United and 3 points at Chelsea Chelsea the game in hand no problems for Arsenal against Boma 51. Southampton played for them and one T. Was getting out of trouble while the other one seemed to get deeper into it yeah absolutely SAF I'm coming out of the bottom 3 now and full and looking desperate dangerous full of men after 10 points adrift of Saddam's And at the foot of the table and the 2 nil to say Samson really does make you look like a stick I doubt I mean the bottom 3 turn was done looked great was the only full and with 17 points of the still 14 points 13 plus drifts I think looking very bleak for them as I said times and out of the bottom $32.00 points had a count of sitting so Lucado and a good night for Manchester United yesterday that looks like score in Didn't our favor recently of course with Marcus rush to get in the knowledge usually stop for a week and a social Rushford off to get into the weekend was out 1st team players are sensitive with the social show once more than a man who he takes United saying he gets it he has a chance of them and they will they want 3 want to Crystal Palace Lukaku scored twice and as Miller Clements to stay in the race for Champions League place their 5th now just a point behind Australian 4th and just lifeless down taught them now what a remarkable recovery it's been and on the social. Media to help us get a call that Ashley Young may decipher later on as United 1314. What is Brian Reed calling in on this say speed camera yes this is vi are rising right about the problems with the R. And R. Happens very much agree with him is a spoiling games he watched and into Milan a game against Fiorentina when he was a stray was on holiday most days on T.V. And you could see the crowd getting more and more angry with the he could have the time it took to make the V.A.R. Decisions and 6 incidents he said and eventually. Turn to is a classic I mean the 101st minute the latest ever recorded in this area are coming because of all the delays because of a heavier system refereeing a left in his bench right raging and history does seem to be changing the going when you're in the ground because the game stops and we want to great things our football is our instant and excitement is a nonstop guy who doesn't very stylish or like the critics of American sports I stop start families and stop start a constant but with V.R. Now it isn't as constant and Brian's making the making the point that is ruining the game for those people who are actually at the ground even though it might clear up one or 2 incidents for people watching on T.V. . I was a 4th one day international for England against the West Indies didn't always look like it was going to go so smoothly for England in the end this. One point that it was a magnificent match it really was extraordinary to watch just ball or. They were going a bit west a little scared us still incomplete westerlies by $29.00 runs in Granada So there are $21.00 up the 4th one the international history one was one was writing that was the 2 of a college series. And just but it was absolutely brilliant issue 150 runs an extraordinary strike right and England made 418 in a 50 overs for 6 wickets and then the apparently hopeless task for the West Indies the one with Chris Kyle in there in any side. It's never a forlorn hope and he had himself a 161 for a while it actually looked as if the West Indies would our overhaul 418 runs and then of course the great man himself he was he was out and sticks to his where he bowled him as he was going for you know another big hit and then suddenly England took control and that all Rasheed had very respectable figures of 5 for 85 but I didn't look too good when he got I got just one run for a Sea Org one which if 80 odd run to his radio runs one point with any success in 4 balls albeit they will go on the big focus on the Bandra but after that after a lot of spin bowlers and a woman you're a villain the next minute you change the game and in the end England runner winners by 29 runs but when extraordinary game it was. Alan McKinley at the Daily Mirror Well in case you're just waking up after a long sleep very long sleep president trumps farmer lawyer Michael Cohen told a congressional committee yesterday that he's concerned there may not be a peaceful transition of power of the president loses 2020 election that was his parting shot at the end of the day Cohen is about to begin to 3 year jail term later said his loyalty to trump cost him everything and he couldn't sit back and allow those same thing to happen to the country while at the beginning he was apologizing for his actions and directly criticizing President Trump I am ashamed of my own failings and publicly accepted responsibility for them by pleading guilty in the southern district of New York I am ashamed of my weakness and my misplaced loyalty of the things I did for Mr Truong in an effort to protect and promote him I am ashamed that I chose to take part in concealing Mr Trump's illicit acts rather than listening to my own conscience I am ashamed because I know what Mr Trump is he is a racist he is a con man and he is a cheat Republicans who are no the minority on the House Oversight Committee all joined to cost die out on Michael Cohen's credibility repeatedly calling Michael Cohen a convicted liar which he is and making it this personal attack Congressman Paul goes are from Arizona over and over again you know we want to have trust is built on the premise that we're truthful that we come forward but there's no truth with you whatsoever that's why that's important to you to look up here on and look at the old adage that our moms taught us liar liar pants on fire no one should ever listen to you and give you credibility. Wahoo Cohen's testimony last that from about 10 o'clock in the morning until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon much of that day taken up by his critics as I was observing with our correspondent in Washington Tomic healthy that's right they were very skeptical of his testimony the Republican lawmakers Well it started out with the chairman of the committee a Democrat Elijah Cummings said that it was a search for the truth but then the Republican lawmakers said that Mr Cohen himself was a fake witness and they said that he was incapable of telling the truth and they went on with their attacks from for most of the day and they were bringing up a great many kind of extraneous things weren't there things had not been part of his testimony at all that's right and in lots of different ways Mr Cohen did become exposed for who he is he was shown as somebody who was vain and ambitious and a liar a convicted liar and also a bully but in some ways it just showed that he was really in a unique position to describe what the president was like he knew him for 10 years he worked for him he saw him in an intimate way and this was Mr Cohen's moment to describe to the American people his president's mode of operations and how he dealt with his his subordinates and how he directed people and and worked his way through crises at one point time as you said the president's away in Vietnam for that North Korea summit and Mr Cohen looked directly at the camera and said I am no longer your fixer Mr Trump and then went on to explain how he got him into these these very dicey situations and into the lies that Mr Cohen had said that he was supposed to be telling. And can you tell us a little bit about the position that. The Republican. Members to command led by the the ranking member as you know as a former chairman of this committee when the Republicans were in the majority in the House of Representatives Jim Jordan he chunks out of Michael Cohen really didn't he or he attempted That's right they describe the hearing itself as a political stunt they said that it was simply a way to discredit the president and they said that Mr Cohen was the worst witness possible they said that the whole thing was politically motivated and that Mr Cohen had discredited himself and a number of ways one of the members of Congress one of the Republicans said that you know he had been a sheriff and he said he was very used to people saying that they felt bad about what they had done and they were new Newman and that sort of act of contrition would go away quickly after they were released from from jail so they were very skeptical of Mr Khan's motives and also just about everything he said was called into question. Obviously the president was well we don't know if the president was watching some people said that he had set up a special kind of late night viewing session from cells so he could at least get some of the beginning of the kohen statement before he had to get some sleep ahead of his meetings but he was being defended by his family wasn't it particularly by his son Donald Jr That's right there was a tweet that President Trump had retreated Mr Trump had written previously about Michael Cohen disparaging his character and saying he done bad things and then Mr Trump's son Don Jr definitely was paying close attention Don Jr tweeted out that he critiqued some of Mr Collins testimony Mr Cohen had said he never wanted a job in the White House and John Jr tweeted out ha ha ha ha he begged for a job you know showing that his his statements were completely wrong and false so Mr Trump had his children watching trot for him that went yes that went on for quite some time that it was Mr Cohen saying oh no he was offered a job in the White House but he turned exactly Mr Cohen was saying he didn't want that he didn't feel it was right for him and Mr Trump's family was like that's not true at all that isn't the way it went down and some fairly sort of mafia like tactics to be honest were discussed with that with Michael Cohen saying that when when called upon he would try to intimidate the the president's enemies whoever they were by threatening lawsuits and so forth exactly if you're a journalist here in the U.S. If you've lived in New York or worked there or in Washington you've heard the stories about what Mr Cohen has done to journalists and that came up in the hearing today about the way he would threaten them and scream at them and send out these letters that would you know try to destroy them and so for journalists it was pretty fascinating too to see Mr Cohen in this position that was so different from the way they had known him before. And time for put you on the spot I mean what did Michael Cohen do has and I'm sorry years and he's pled guilty to several different several different crimes one of them is tax evasion he's also lied before members of Congress there's plenty of charges that against him that have stood up and that he's pleaded guilty for and this today was his active he said himself he's on a path to redemption it's kind of like a classic American story where America's a land of redemption where you can do terrible things and come out again and this is what Mr Cohen is hoping for he loved or been to redemption and one last question what did he say or not say then about this investigation that's going on in the southern district of New York apparently an investigation of Mr Trump he did speak about it in a way that seemed as though there were there were things that were being investigated that everyone in the room wanted to know more about but Mr Cohen had limitations on what he could talk about he's also going to be on Capitol Hill tomorrow he'll be testifying again behind closed doors the way he did yesterday and I've been hearing that members of Congress are going to press him on some of these questions and does no doubt that he'll be saying a lot more behind closed doors than he did today. Sorry just at the beginning of the program there to time McCully our correspondent in Washington so Michael Cohen back up on Capitol Hill but behind closed doors later on today it's just after half past 4 on digital B.B.C. Sense of space. This is B.B.C.

I'm sorry if Chelsea picked up a much needed win thing off Tottenham 2 nil at Stamford Bridge Romelu Lukaku made the most of his starting opportunity in the Manchester United side that's been significantly hit by injuries the Belgian striker scored 2 as United won 3 want to Crystal Palace aswell though stay above them in 4th after dismantling Bournemouth $51.00 fallen boss Claudio Ranieri admits confidence is low amongst his players who have lost 8 of their 9 matches since the turn of the year or 2 nil defeat at Southampton leaves them 10 points from safety in the Premier League's relegation zone confidence is not the maximum no is a normal when you try to do something in the Bronx and is not easy to react about they want to play it that my players react there is Neil Lennon's the 1st match back in charge of Celtic ended in a $21.00 victory at Hearts but only courtesy of a stoppage time winner Lennon was not happy his team had led a lead slip but I don't like inclusion seems specially away from home and we've done that with a goal in a sloppy for most of them yourselves but we made a great reaction one can get at the enemy defended really hard to tame school sports or a very very tough team to beat 2nd half goals from Alan White and Beth May's helped England women beat Brazil 21 in the she believes Cup Luis Suarez netted twice as Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3 nail to reach the final of the copper Del Rey in cricket England won a high scoring 430 I against the West Indies by 29 runs just 12 sixes on his way to a knock of 150 as England set the hosts a target of 419 Chris Gayle then replied with an innings of 162 including 146 this England Captain Owen Morgan says it was an amazing game it never really stopped right until the last over of the game and when you have such an intense game of cricket like that for on good overs it's incredible to play and it's you know it creates a huge amount of pressure on everybody's performance and there is really no pite.

Sport This is B.B.C. Radio 5 Live on digital B.B.C. Sound this small speaker Mark good morning to you when we come to the end of this balmy record breaking warm spell of late winter I'm returning back to something more normal for the time of year so it really is going to feel much cooler than what we've been used to these past few weeks today starts mainly dry across the north and east of the U.K. With variable clouds Celeste and for patches but also some early sunshine across Wales and Western parts of England then we begin the day on a very different notes with more cloud around breeze and Shari rain which will continue to spread eastward through the day to the rest of England and Wales some of the rain will be quite heavy in places more especially across the Midlands Southern and southwest England winds will also become a feature as it turns quite windy across the southern half of England and Wales the south west of England could see gusts up to 30 miles an hour so this will make you feel very different to what we've been used to with all the sunny skies and the light winds the best of any dry and brighter weather today will tend to be across Scotland and Northern Ireland but the U.K. Will be cooler the highs of $9.00 to $14.00 Celsius for Friday rich of high pressure across the countries that will bring the dry day for most with variable cloud lighter winds and with sunshine temperatures again around the seasonal Norma's $9.00 to $12.00 degrees into the weekend it becomes even more unsettled with wet and windy weather spreading to all areas making you feel much cooler and will be used to although the rain will be pretty welcome performers and gardeners as it has been pretty dry for quite a while now into next week it turns cooler still remains unsettled with for the weather systems bringing spells and. When the rain off the Atlantic from time to time. And stop the downs. They just go on and on and they've already made that point I lost my Scotch crock. Find me some. Favorite. Present Trump on the North Korean leader Kim Jong un have begun the big day of talks in one hour and. They took questions from reporters and one question Kim Jong un was asked and I quote from Reuters Jeff Mason he was asked if he was ready to de nuclearize and he said if I'm not willing to do that I won't be here and President Trump responded says Jeff that might be the best answer you've ever heard well they both made opening statements Mr Trump of course under pressure to secure some concrete steps towards denuclearize ation of the Korean Peninsula whatever that actually turns out to meet. Chairman Kim gave a statement at the beginning of their meeting. You look I believe you feel each others feel. To believe that starting from against today the whole world is looking to operate you how do you know you are the legal if you leave me alone you. Lose the legal motherly the was one of. The much you I was only one please give one of them to leave you clearly because there are people who are welcoming this meeting there are people who have remained skeptical about this meeting but I'm sure that all of them would be watching the moment that we're sitting together side by side as if they're looking they're watching a movie. You look at legally did you move for. The pill. To go off. To leave the family Love Field the few who do want to feel it or do you feel so we've made a lot of effort so far and we thought that now it's time for us to come to the normally sit together and have this wonderful dialogue will leave you on to the cold. Feet. Do you feel and let me assure you that I would do all my best to bring the good results ultimately today. We've heard on the radio our correspondent John Howard was asked. These talks are looking. I think it will be a moment to be moving the face of that we saw last year which after all was basically the novelty of the 2 men meeting its own there's no doubt there's been a lot of what put in by U.S. Officials and North Korean officials in meetings before this summit trying to hammer out what they can agree on that we don't know what that is yet Mr Trump has been downplaying expectations he's told nothing in a rash and saying that as long as the North Koreans are testing missiles the world's a safer place he's happy with that in reality what we're expecting is probably some kind of concrete move some kind of concession by the North Koreans on the nuclear weapons program we don't know what it would be possibly be agreement to shut down one of the need to facilities there's been a lot of talk about young beyond which is opposed by the been in producing plutonium and Tracy which would be significant but would not actually mean closure the nuclear weapons program and that might might also be sanctions lifting by the United States has deftly with the North Korean leaders looking for limited possibly maybe some other measures opening days and offices in each other's capitals that would be significant to maybe the ending of hostilities that have been there since the end of the Korean War If we get back I think President Trump will be able to come out and say look this is now a process. It's part of anyone's being the pronouncer to success. China's top diplomat has had a telephone call with Pakistan's foreign minister expressing China's deep concern at the escalation of tensions between Pakistan and India it is topic of conversation with Raul Townsend who joins us this morning from Kolkata before anything else has happened yesterday of course for all the Pakistanis managed to shoot 2 Indian fighters. Yes a big run I mean since we spoke yesterday where there was already a huge escalation of tensions and we heard there you know Mr Trump talking about trying to deescalate one nuclear problem while at the moment his officials and I think him and south are going to have to work very hard to try and deescalate probably at this point in time a much more serious threat let's run through the events of what happened after we spoke yesterday morning we had then this 1st basically contact over the skies between Indian and Pakistani jets for almost 50 years since the 1971 confrontation took place in 19181 water place between these 2 countries as always very different stories coming out from both sides here Pakistan claiming they shot down 2 Indian Jets India saying no they shot down one Pakistani F. 16 jet but at the same time they lost one of their own jets and they couldn't find 2 of the pilots later it was emerged that one of the pilots had been captured by the Pakistanis his of this command the Indian Foreign Office spokes person the Pakistani Air Force One depicted and the Indian Air Force responded instantly in that serial engagement one Pakistani of course quite a clock what I saw down by a minute 21 Bison of the Indian Air Force the public plan your route was seen by concourses one income discovery on the Pakistan side in this engagement we have unfortunately lost one big 21 the pilot is missing in action Pakistan has claimed that he is in their custody we are at in the past. Well meanwhile on the other side. The new prime minister of Pakistan with a television address what do you actually have to share all. Of course the world has been looking very closely what the 2 leaders of these 2 countries are going to say how they're going to react what they're going to say and what body language is going is going to be in a sense of trying to get an idea of where we can going with this moment rather we're going to see a further escalation taking place which could really push the 2 countries almost to war we're going to see a way out this is what the Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan said when he addressed his nation. Jungmann miscalculation history tells us that there are miscalculations and was. My question to endure is a bus. With the kind of weapons that we both have. Can we afford a miscalculation. Here. If we let it happen remain ivory my MODIS control the border control who. We know that has pain due. To point because it is a good dialogue if you want to hold a dialogue on terrorism. We are ready to sit down and talk. Once again I ask you to let sit think and discuss. So as I was worried her words going donor then the role. We haven't really had much of an official reaction from the Indian authorities to him on words what we had yesterday was a great test statement that was issued by the Indian Foreign Ministry which was given to the Pakistani High Commissioner in Delhi to give you a brief some ation of what was said to him right firstly that the Indian pilot who has been captured and his is in Pakistani custody We've seen videos posted by the Pakistani authorities of the captured Force pilot even though Indian television are refusing to show those particular pictures that he would be released handed over immediately back to the Indian authorities they also describe the posting of videos by the Pakistanis as vulgar and the Indians also in the statement which I think is a sense of the fact that we may even see further action by the Indian authorities that they reserve the right to take action against any country that basically threatens them so no official acknowledgment of Imran Khan's offer the talks he has also said that the Pakistani prime minister that he wants India to provide evidence will they hand it over a dossier which they say shows that amid the militant group in Pakistan was complicit in the attack which saw the deaths of more than 40 policemen in just a few weeks ago which is really led to these heightened tensions I think one of the problems rod is that on both sides particularly with the media we know that when India and Pakistan face each other when there's a face off between them that in a sense it causes increased nationalism at times in both countries as it being covered in Pakistan is the B.B.C. Is as it flukey in a slum of argue stymie media is covering these commission as did nationalism local media. Jobs do with news of Indian pilot who was captured by the Pakistani authorities and they are altered reporting incidents of. India brew test. And having listened wrong to this I mean this is a sense of how the Indian T.V. Channels to a covering at a moment at least some of them he is one of India's most famous T.V. News anchors the Swami on his show last night we are resolved in saying Mission 1st there are some part petrol in Milan Khan lovers who are quivering on our side no it's not our war let's not of what is there any of them is going toward war themselves what is their combined agenda why are there quitting What is that idea if question is simple we had their camps they violated our AS place they tried to target our military now we have to hit back and we have to hit back mercilessly so that we shut up Pakistan once and for all. Their talk and as I refute. The lot of sentiment. It's reflecting a lot of the way that the T.V. Channels and you know they have such a huge impact in India because there are so many of them and people are sort of being polluted them over the last 48 hours to try and get the latest information of what's going on and that is the town that many of the channels are taking that in a sense some of them have lost objectivity and I basically just whipping up a a public frenzy that has been there all that we've spoken about before that since the attacks took place we've seen T.V. Channels in India covering the return of the bodies of the dead soldiers to various parts of the country and that has I think to some extent whipped up public sentiment though if you do go on Twitter there is a counter to that and one of the trending hashtags both in India and Pakistan has been no to war so I think that is one of the problems of course another problem is which as yet is not getting a lot of discussion as people try and you know reduce the tensions between these 2 countries at the center of this dispute you know India will say this is about cross border terrorism but at the center is this issue of Kashmir this disputed region dispute that has been there since the British left India 70 years ago and I think as long as you have those problems in Kashmir there remains the possibility of there always being a flashpoint even if this one the escalates of tensions maybe even war between India and Pakistan or Rahul Thank you very much for the moment let's look over the border there and look for a Pakistani perspective Meir an opera rose from the English language newspaper Pakistan today in Islamabad Hello Mia. With on a good morning well. Played to us that quite incendiary. Addressed by the Indian T.V. News anchor saying that it was time to back Pakistan once and for all what's the mood in Pakistan this morning. I don't actually the mood in Pakistan is very somber The scene is you know the last night of what happened was that it was a total blackout and you know it was a very poor and I died from India and the Speicher you know media mode is back in Pakistan is that mature you know the Pakistani media doesn't talk about war you know there is no war has to unfortunately ongoing inside you know that anger this try to set that tune and on the sea of the government on violence on the other hand on the country Pakistani media you know they are for saying no to war and most of Pakistani journalists you know not only on their talk show you know they have been talking about the you know faculties a war you know can make so Pakistani media a smooth objective rather than being subjective and then there is no sort of you know just like the Hindu to our supporters on Indian media channels you know what they're all was talking about teaching a lesson to back down on the country Pakistani media has been you know all this talking about friendship to Pakistan you know there was a SAS my organization on Pakistani side they have always been you know talking about peace don't think about you know friendship in India traded India but unfortunately these efforts have not never been the support of it from the Indian side. And I must talk to somebody from India about you know the offer of talks and and they said oh well they always offer talks that it never results in the end of these terrorist bases would the camps be a subject for negotiation with a subject for discussion if if indeed the 2 sides did agree to talk. Let me tell you you know I've kind of the new leadership you know Imran Khan has never been you know in the office before and he's a very very different politician you know I understand has talked to wanted to do the change in the house to give you know him non-con a chance there has always always been SPAC this is the skepticism on Indian size that all of it is dull any of us they have never trusted us but now there is a new man he has never been in the office he has been very you know Britain people in Britain know about Imran Khan the Son is not actually human kind has been very honest he has you know even this yesterday strike even again he came to the media and he spoke about peace giving peace a chance and he has said that even if India wants to talk about that or the past and this has been you know the stated policy of India for the past 5 years or so so in one Khan has said vive on 2 prong OK if you want to talk about terrorism you have any free so now it is up to Mr Netanyahu will be but unfortunately the mall in India you know is now it is all about collection that a lot has to go in that we understand there have been you know there have been this extraordinary across cities in Kashmir especially you know. This is a Kashmiri leadership has. I've been you know treated mistreated and Kashmiri people have been at that in all the major you know cities of India so unfortunately Indian leadership and Indian media they have not been that support of Pakistani offers and this is Dying know that if Pakistan and leader for the possible had been elected prime minister for the past time now and he's talking about peace India should trust and I spoke. In the case of yesterday's confrontation who ordered the shoot would this would this have been an army matter. Sorry when I get to India. And Pakistan clashed in the air yesterday. Who would've ordered that engagement with that been done to the. The military Yes actually predated that primeness even Khan had had a very. Civil military leadership meeting anyone Khan had given orders directly to the army that if there is a gun confrontation if there is any sort of violations from India Pakistan should respond very strongly he had asked them to despond but even then you know then Indian jets came inside Pakistan Pakistan and just scrambled them but did not attack them but this was taken by India as a success so Pakistan had put us on if Pakistan did not respond it would have been taken as it not only complacency but of the Knesset So Pakistan had announced Pakistan and the F.B.I. Had already said that village on be will give India a surprise now India needs to wait why India at that act 3 30 AM in the midnight you know Pakistani Jets ventured into India in. Broad daylight so it was very clear that Pakistan vented to tell India that look we have the capability we have the resolve and we have the build to respond so if you are that asked the village it back but didn't want peace so soon after you know the confrontation not only Pakistan gave the evidences of what as it had claimed before for a while Indian side did not give any evidence of shooting down any plane impacts on not only showed the video footage but also they present to the Indian pilot and this pilot Mr. In London you know he is a celebrity you know in India he has been. Not not only the son of one former chief but also he has been are better for is not only this constructive verb but also for his peers so biased on have won a trophy but still you know after that in one convent and talk about peace he said that was bringing havoc you know and it spoke about it all to follow to you know World War And he said that it was a male miscalculation which led to the length of World War sort even if the war that started between Pakistan and India and leaves open to nuclear capable country so nobody would know that very bold and as collision would get all right beside its own dimension so no bank same as it was all about peace and I suppose that in the address book that we had our brother from Pakistan today thank you very much we have sunrise this morning and Wrexham 2 minutes past. The hour subsists. It's 5 o'clock this is morning reports on 5 lives I'm Ana which is the top story this morning the children's commissioner is warning the same mistakes that led to saying is in tackling child sexual exploitation and being repeated with tackling gangs research claims 27000 children in England aged between 10 and 17 identify as being part of a gang 34000 have also been victims of gang based violence this 14 year old has just.
