attention he. human rights advocates of longer announced the conditions in mates face in venezuela in prisons last year alone at least thirty seven have died in another riot always leaving families desperately demanding explanations by the government that seem never to come. and he joins us live now from bogota sound i mean we do have a sort of semi official number of sixty eight and that's the number at least of suspected dead but beyond that how much will official statements that we actually had on this issue. well that's actually the only statement that families venezuelans in general received more than twenty four hours have passed since the incident in the jail facility in this city.

and only the attorney general very late on when they sent out a tweet essentially saying two things first that they confirm the number of dead at sixty eight and secondly that he was appointing for prosecutors to investigate what exactly had happened there but the families are demanding more of course first of all they want to know how many people effectively died there who are who are the inmates that are still alive what they can do to help their situation and so far nothing of sort of has happened yet there hasn't been any official statement coming from the venezuelan government and or from the minister of prisons services in the country who is all to meet lee responsible for what happened in venezuela and jails in prison and still the families don't know whether their loved ones are

among the dead or no salicylate m.p.t. with the latest on that case alison thank you. the leaders of north and south korea have agreed to meet face to face in a border village next month they will be the third meeting between the two countries in sixty five years since the end of the korean war. the denuclearization of the korean peninsula has been the most important part of the agenda since the high level talks of january ninth and the exchange of visits between north and south korean invoice that's the issue we will focus on to further discussion as well. kathy novak has more now from seoul. well it is just a month now until south korea's president will meet north korean leader kim jong un forming up the date for the first intercalary in summit since two thousand and

seven is another sign of improving relations between the two koreas which remains technically at war the agreement was made at a high level talks between south korea's unification minister and his north korean counterpart it's the second time to these two men have met this year and they remarked on how much has changed since they last met in january when it was decided that after two years of the two countries not communicating they would come together at the winter olympics in south korea. i'm certain that this is quite a positive development since we are living in a divided nation i feel more relieved when we settle things peacefully rather than being in a dangerous situation i think this is good i hope this happens more frequently so. young. i usually don't pay attention to news but i now pay more attention as we hear more good news rather than bad news like nuclear war so the mood amongst much of the south korean public and certainly the south korean

government is one of cautious optimism but there are still some skeptics the agenda still hasn't been agreed to for the into korean summit and many will want to be sure that denuclearization is up for discussion and of course this all comes after that surprise visit that kim jong un made to china for a meeting with pain china's top diplomat young in south korea to brief south korean officials on the topics that were discussed at that meeting valuable information as they go ahead and plan the interconnection summit next month. the. preliminary results show a landslide win for sisi in egypt's presidential election bought a low turnout. after three days of voting results show that c c one twenty three million out of the twenty five million votes cast is only rival with some stuff and

one three percent of the vote both a turnout however was thirty nine percent since his bid for a second term was seen as a foregone conclusion after all of the crew at credible candidates withdrew or were effectively made to our senior political analyst my one bashara joins us live now in the studio i mean that's pretty low thirty nine percent lower than the last time the last election at forty three i think how how reliable are these these results anyway of course in terms of reporting it depends who you talk to the egyptian official media and actually there is none of us not exactly close to the regime at this point in time reports a major success high turnout a national wedding of sort this say. that this is the fact that the moment in the history of egypt detractors and mostly foreign observers foreign join the lists reports about a low turnout total charade circus theater then type of thing was

staged and hence not the serious elections depends who you believe but if you look quickly at the math right it's something similar to what you've seen here if we really had the by thirty nine the forty percent turnout of sixty million that is twenty four million people there are thirteen thousand polling booths. of twenty four million we're talking about almost two thousand plus two thousand one hundred pair of boots over thirty seven hours that's sixty per hour not a single observers will tell us that in every boot in every minutes in the entire country we had people walking in nonstop to those boots so really even the forty percent is too high and by the way the likes of president mubarak in two thousand and five his predecessor was content with twenty three percent turnout and he didn't really claim any much more but for sisi it's very important to show in the

elections that not really an induction is sorry for around them that there is a higher turnout and that people appreciate them but what do you think i mean you said that you know his supporters in egypt obviously make thirty nine percent look good but especially to outside observers to the western countries that if not support sisi certainly turn a blind eye will this be seen as a failure or will it just not really make any difference i think. but what we're certain leaders will do is will they will project their own priorities on the egyptian case meaning of the us he said basically provided them with a certain appearances of sorts where they could if the one say oh you know at least there is elections it's not exactly the arab spring promise but you know considering the circumstances considering he's not an islamist he's a secular considering that egypt is fighting terror and so on so forth that you know we can have to work with this guy of course if there were more of a moral case to be made we would say that this is

a repressive regime that you know values these two trump interests and that egypt on the long term will not be serving stability and security rather chaos and terror in the region and beyond my own very brief if you can but do you think he still has the support of the internal apparatus of the military business elite and they still behind him things clearly he does because clearly he's dividing the pa i among the elites in the military in the stablish month unfortunately for their subject the egyptians it's because i want to share a senior political analyst thank you. now still ahead here on al-jazeera and this place by conflict and living in fear we report on the plight of me in my eyes a catchy minority she left as a teenager after being shot by the taliban six years on malala yousafzai returns as a nobel prize winning campaign.
