agreed to share power peace lasted almost a year until renewed fighting sorich which are free the capital and declare the deal dead but in july the two leaders preliminarily agreed to the power sharing arrangement that they've signed today twelve hours later fighting resumed it's the twelfth cease fire deal and second power sharing agreement signed since the war began. but israel has oppositions as it fears president nicolas maduro could impose a crackdown after what he's calling an assassination attempt on tour accuses colombia and a group of us finance years of trying to kill him is speaking at a military parade in the capital caracas when an apparent explosion interrupted the event mike hanna reports. the live broadcast of the ceremony on national television the camera begins to shake and president maduro looks into the as explosion of sound before the feed you scott. soldiers who had been on parade are seeing in

panic a number reported to be injured in the blasts. only investigation as evidence that shows those that didn't in the constitution and for good are doing his will in the public. a group calling itself the last day for and their last claimed responsibility in a series of tweets this one with the phrase time is running out a few hours after the attack president maduro addressed the nation saying right wing groups within the country were responsible but also accusing the colombian president on manual santos of involvement in looking for a mark and i have to inform you that some of those who carried out the attack against me today have already been apprehended and they are now being processed in nothing more than although they tried to assassinate me and i have no doubt that everything points to the right the venezuelan ultra right in alliance with the colombian ultra right and that the name of one man well santos is behind this

attempt of president maduro playing to victory in the elections earlier this year but his political opponents insisted the process was rigged many venezuelans hold him accountable for a major economic collapse that could see the inflation rate hit one million percent by the end of the year mike hanna. has denied any involvement in the edge attack let's get more from rob reynolds in washington d.c. what exactly is the u.s. government line on this. well to be perfectly blunt lorand top official foreign policy official in the white house says the u.s. had nothing to do with this this despite president nicolas maduro statement that some elements in the united states will not blaming the united states government but saying some elements in florida in miami may have been implicated in this but earlier today we heard from the head of the national security office the

national security adviser to president john bolton and this is what he had. with respect to what happened last afternoon could be a lot of things from a pretext set up by the regime itself to something else he's made accusations accusing the outgoing president of colombia of responsibility what he calls the extreme right wing in venezuela that means the vast opposition to his authoritarian rule and he's blamed the name financer is in the united states these are things he's said before and you have to take them for what they're worth. well we've been speaking to you rob we've had a. news agency that the interior minister in venezuela said six terrorists as they've been detained over the south a drain explosions i mean in the meantime to go back to kind of whether the u.s.

might have had a role in this is there anything that would suggest they have played a part in it. there's no there's no evidence there's no hard evidence is no forensic evidence that we were aware of lauren. we would note that the venezuelan government has said that if they were able to identify anyone in the united states who was involved that they would present that evidence to the u.s. authorities and bolton did say that they'd look into that if they got credible evidence but it's also worth reminding ourselves that there were multiple reports that came out not very long ago indicating that last august about a year ago president trump mused to his top aides why not invade venezuela military invasion of venezuela and he was apparently quite persistent in this line of of questioning and had to be dissuaded or talked out

of it by his then secretary of state rex tillerson and then head of nasa security at the white house john mcmaster both of them of since left the administration the administration of the donald trump and the government of honduras have not had warm relations to say the least the government here in washington denounced the election reelection of the president to do or to a second term earlier this year as a fraud and a sham but also has indicated he's open and willing to open some kind of dialogue with the united states but that does seem unlikely at this point and also just. you'll all remember of course president trump's travel ban which mainly targeted majority muslim nations around the world well that travel ban

now also includes top officials from venezuela who are prohibited from traveling to the united states so i see relations between this south american nation and the united states thank you very much. if you defense minister is promising to take all necessary measures to restore order in its eastern somali region on saturday government troops fought with paramilitary soldiers loyal to the regional government mobs of looted shops and burned down buildings including two churches in the capital g. gigo at least four towns are also being affected by the violence. so to come when i was there. someone. panic as a second big earthquake in a week it seemed an asian island of long book local officials say at least nineteen people are dead. and the anti-government protests continue in nicaragua

breeze keeping the humidity level stones is not too unpleasant but those sort of valleys slight decrease in temperatures as the wind eases as we head on through into tuesday so are of the much cooler at this time of year twenty seven degrees as a maxim let's head down into southern parts of africa way to expect fine weather generally the case although we have got the risk of some rain for cape town at times and friday press wins but tends to of the brain tends to clear through brighter conditions for choose day but without flow temperatures struggling highs of just thirteen degrees into central parts of africa and here is looking particularly showery across parts of chad and also sudan. discover the world of zero zero. the best films from across on the network of trouble with a lot of these you i'm allowed to do but i'm not that old to be fresh perspectives and new insights. to challenge and change the way we look.
