Hello, I'm Neil Nunes with the BBC News.

India says its warplanes have conducted raids inside Pakistani territory in a major escalation of tension between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Delhi says a large number of Jaish-e-Mohammed militants have been killed. The Pakistani military has denied there have been any casualties. From Mumbai, here's Detyler Lemar. These strikes were specifically targeted at camps of the militant outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed. It's also the outfit that claimed responsibility for the attack which took place in Indian-administered Kashmir, the suicide bombing on 14th of February of a military bus in which forty soldiers were killed. The Pakistani military spokesman was the first to sort of claim that something like this had happened, saying there were no casualties. There was no damage, no infrastructure was hit. They're saying that the Indian aircraft had to scramble back and hastily dropped their payloads, but that resulted in no destruction.

The former Vatican treasurer Cardinal George Pell has been found guilty of sexually abusing two boys in the late 1990s. The Australian cleric was convicted in December, but the trial was subject to reporting restrictions which have only now been lifted. Howard Griffiths is in Snydney. Cardinal George Pell was one of the Pope's closest addvisors who controlled the Church's finances. In the 1990s as the archbishop of Melbourne, he forced two quiet boys to carry out a series of sexual acts after he found them drinking sacramental wine in the back of the Cathedral. He claimed the allegations were made up, but a jury found unanimously that he was guilty. Pell is to appeal a conviction, but first he faces returning to court where he's likely to be given a jail sentence.

The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has arrived in Vietnam on the eve of his summit with President Trump. A guard of honour welcomed him at Dong Dan train station on the border with China. Mr. Kim then drove on to Hanoi. Mr. Trump is expected to fly in later on Tuesday. Sharanjit Leyl is in Hanoi. In the evening, they will both meet briefly before going on to have a dinner together. And really Thursday is when we're expecting to see a lot of the nitty-gritty this issue of obviously North Korea denuclearizing. The Americans want to see evidence of that and of course the North Koreans on their part want to see the trade blocs and sanctions removed.
