president chavez not anymore who wants an end of the crisis in venezuela the question is how one of the aspects of considering sanctioning all is what effect would have on of it as well and people. it is is it a step that might bring this to an end to a more rapid and a more rapid close because not doing anything to bring this to is also asking the venezuelan people to suffer for a much longer time the venezuelan president nicolas maduro blames the united states and its allies for trying to undermine his socialist government and then another lot of it was they have inherited the arrogance the imperial arrogance of believing that with a button and a plan in english the bolivarian revolution is finished with a declaration from the head of the empire calling me a dictator it's over the dictatorship has already fallen as they call it with the

statement by secretary of state to tell us and we are going to surrender they do not know us they do not know our strength. the argentine president. is now one of those in the region most critical of the venezuelan government mr tillerson wants to work with him all of us in the region to see readers will return to his constitution we just this is heart wrenching to watch what is happening to the people. bring food and medicine shortages inflation is rampant crime is rising and thousands cross the borders every day in search of provisions for a better life mr tillerson visit to argentina is to show that washington cares about latin america but the region's long term interests lie with the united states and not with china or russia he praised the argentine government's austerity driven investor friendly economic model much like that of the current us administration that it's not something you would have a few years ago the secretary of state is emphasizing where the two countries can

athens edging the government not to compromise in the long running name raul with neighboring macedonia greece's block the former yugoslav republic from joining nato and the e.u. it says the name implies a claim of a greek province also called macedonia johns' or openness reports from athens. the message was clear macedonians are greeks and no one other than the greeks should be allowed to use the name macedonia greeks refer to their neighborhood by the name of its capital city skopje their opinion is important because they hold the power of veto over its entry to nato and the european union you might get on your enemy again as anyone macedonian is greek greek people will not accept the fact of a name we determine to show that we went out to history under the terms that can be no european prospects copia this was greece's official position until about a decade ago it has since accepted the use of the composites name such as northern also love macedonia and a new government in scope is willing to die you to the countries constitutional

name republic of macedonia so the basis for a compromise in theory exists the question is can the two societies accept it the greeks have been through an eight year you cannot make depression they have lost four hundred over national finances and budgets back in really a should have been compounded by the fact that many europeans have denied even that ancient provenance they have now third with one voice that their identity and history will not often to go spiritual most greeks agreed that the use of the name by known greeks employs a fictitious ethnicity and a first of passive. their own ancient history. this new message ternium nation alexander the great was educating great by aristotle whenever he won a battle he put up a monument saying this big tree was won by all the greats he didn't differentiate between method earnings and grades a generation of kids in skopje has grown up with this myth but that's their problem

some observers say inflated expectations are a greek problem as well many people in greece felt that at some point there would be some kind of ideal solution without the the word macedonia and everything would be solved that way the fact that diplomacy means eventually some painful decisions. in the methods that message was not passed through greek society by the government in athens is to send its proposals to scope here in the next two weeks the crowds here warn against diplomacy without the people jump zero plus al-jazeera athens. is a lecturer in european politics at king's college london he says the dispute is down to ownership of national identity. and i think there are two parameters two mentions on stopping one diplomatic and geopolitical one which says that

a lot of greece see it is a matter of national interest to have a strong position on the so-called macedonian name issue on the other hand of course it's of issue of motional popular national identity so a lot of people consider the ancient legacy. is part of greek identity and part of the greek narrative of continuous greek nationalism so it's a matter of both of geopolitical disagreement the question of the national interest and their emotional national identity when the two gets together it's actually very difficult to conduct diplomacy isolated from the sentiment on the street. cyprus's president has won a runoff election with fifty six percent of the vote nicos anastasiades comfortably beat his challenger. he's vowed to improve the economy and push ahead with reunification attempts on the island a u.n. administered demilitarized zone runnings with the capital nicosia has divided turkish controlled north and a greek dominated south cyprus since one thousand nine hundred eighty four. human

dead and several others injured in other raids last month. israeli planes have been carrying out and strikes in northern sinai with the approval of the egyptian president abdel fattah el-sisi that's according to the new york times it says unmarked israeli war planes and helicopters have conducted dozens of raids in egypt over the past two years egyptian forces have been fighting isolating groups which have launched attacks in the region have been reports on the cooperation between egypt and israel before but it's always been denied by both governments imran khan as the latest from western. so his the original reports in sunday's new york times they'll have to say the reporting is all from british and american former security officials who spoke to the new york times none of it's actually come from either israel or egypt and we reached out to the israeli army for comment they say they weren't going to comment on this case but clearly it's a very big story both in the hebrew language and the english language post now take

a look at this this horace they're reporting fairly similar things israel conducted over one hundred s. strikes on isis in egypt using the new york times as a base the jerusalem post as well just take a look at this israel struck over one hundred targets and sinai with caro's ok now this is going to be controversial for both countries there's a hard right in israel that says it doesn't want any cooperation with its arab neighbors particularly when it comes to military that the israeli army should be completely independent also in egypt it's going to be controversial as well particular within the t.v. stations are very critical of any cooperation with israel when it comes to military matters now i did speak to a former israeli military official and asked him why this cooperation might be taking place he says simply they're very worried about groups like arsenal massing on their borders so it makes sense for something like this to take place. lots more so to come here on al-jazeera including more than four months after the election

feel that what i am on record as saying i support bob muller one hundred percent i think you would have a russia and russia trying to interfere with our election in twenty sixteen with or without a dossier and a gallagher has more now from washington d.c. . well the key date to watch here is monday evening when the democrats vote whether they will release their own ten page memo of course the democrats released a four page memo on friday which is proved to be very controversial it will then go to the president who has five days to approve it or not approve it one of the key issues for the democrats is they fear that it will be censored it will be made useless by the president and they're also extremely concerned about that original memo from the republicans they say they hand-picked certain information to undermine the robert mueller investigation and they're worried that president trump will use it all as a pretext to fire special counsel robert mueller which they say will lead to a constitutional crisis of course the president himself has been tweeting out on

saturday morning that this whole thing is a witch hunt and a hoax of course it isn't that's not true the investigation will carry on at full steam and he's been seriously advised not to fire special counsel robert mueller which has been widely reported he wanted to do back in the summer so what's to watch for in the next few hours is that vote among the democrats to see whether that ten page memo will be released and whether president trump ultimately will allow that to happen china is accusing the u.s. of having a cold war mentality in response to washington's plans to diversify its nuclear weapons policy the pentagon says its current nuclear bombs are too big and wants to develop smaller nuclear weapons the u.s. says the atomic weapons revamp is large in response to russian actions in recent years a lot of time going as a political analyst and adviser to the chinese government he says the u.s. announcement signals the beginning of another nuclear arms race. we know there are

tensions that exist between iran north korea and united states and also china and russia matter the idea that you can have a battlefield nuclear weapon is very attractive if gen xer want to win battles but they're not going to win a war when you have massive new parents what the world many hundred times over with the existing stockpile so the danger here is that somebody thinks that they can start a limited their war against an object for instance iran and that somehow this will not. go into a fully leveraged nuclear catastrophe probably right at this moment is that the u.s. is fighting everybody at the same time both in terms of trade now after china europe in terms of strategy and nuclear ambitions china russia iran north korea it's not clear how long. this kind of battle on all parts
