no one grows in this part of the great sandy desert no one travels in it it's almost inaccessible. like it was like a different world for me. i had to see the dams. and know as i think. things began to happen we knew they were getting closer because people were starting to burn the spinifex. god that if. i only hear stories about that snake spirit living in a water hole when i didn't believe it i finally don't find us with my camera. it was hard to keep up. running and shouting but coming to visit the admit we have

family. we are not that good but that if. they did they took us to a small wet spot in the desert who was just this small puddle this small patch of wetness and this was this is very important place that i've been telling us about for the last five days. were numbered there are. some of the young fellows that we're with and myself we started on what do you know what. they're doing now yeah. you know what i want to. know what. i think if anything i'm going to let you know that we pay no more to do and then the orders come fed up. they were going to. come out of it i don't know we're going to be like that but i don't know. i never saw my grandfather what are you so happy. that is.

that it will kill you but i don't know. what that is just that. there's just. this. week. that i live that you know i'm not here. sitting around but no grandparent i'm on a meal to stories that told me as a kid. i really want to go understand what was going on here. is a man's area. man bringing woman now aren't they kidnapped the world. only to

his wife she leaves the woman. that is throw water. so the disk makes no wood ai. and then visited. dolly and took the woman back to camp but then i could see that something else was happening. so i was using the good and the mud blue of pulling out. to make this going to get around a want to get to that. spot and told me that it represents the dog that. same thing goes for that colon. see there could have been a day owning it represent a trout and water then tip it over that's the rain is coming down there without without.

them without without our all over on our own. that would have to ask for the first time i understood when the grandfather's dance came from. and the meaning of his headdress. the. being in a place where spot it literally grew up was really emotional. you know they'd like it like going back to a place. it's laid. on country. oh no need to leave going home. not that i am literally inspired or were talking to something less it was a feeling a lot of times they were doing it. alone they said because we had to go now like

right now. ok so we packed up the camp and headed off a spider and literally really can only get as far from the place as possible and we drove and we drove and we drove and looking out into the west where the water hole was located were all these storm clouds and lightning right. and then i realized that is the rain making plays that was what already our spado were doing today. they brought the rain. ritually made rain to her driest parts of australia and they were known widely as the as the rain makers. but i want to first find out there with my grandfather literally. i saw something that changed my life without any

person on the trip. and they'll be able to trust that me all believed in me to carry on this responsibility. i mean it's a big it's a big thing big job. but to get it or get a feeling from our people at the trust from our people. that make you feel good inside. the for. that confessional causing. daniel get the damage it can lead to from the trip. he started to write a little. for me the trip to were not made me want to find out more. i wanted to learn about our history.

when one fellas came into our country in a teenager they want to water. they drove us off our land and turned a country into huge cal state. and then added counting camel he wanted us hundred one dollars or they cattle. at two thousand kilometer trek through our tribal lands. they call it the cunning stuccoed and it destroyed the traditional way of life. itself there's three cellars us but. if. you want to. be used as a good water holes to make fifty one wells for de kalb. on a problem that can infer that he didn't there were any clue other water was so he

kept it out as a people. come up get them sold meant stop them a water. only let them go if one of the tracks as they ran to get water. they imprison the one inside metal and wood boxes. and wells were closed and several more people around trying to get down because they want to. most of my people had to move away from their traditional way of life. among them well my grandparents spot i was a young man when he left the desert to find only his promise wife. she was working as a housemaid i got a station up my white grandfather. now better off he didn't like desert people because the uterus various cattle. when he

a prize run to our children and they get a present to their children. i also became a grandfather for the first time. out of five daughters i finally had a grandson. it helped me understand my grandfather's. i would be able to take in my bush like it did for me. to cut you. as for what happened to that one account. in a column metal box at the center in fish on a crossing. it's just like our land clean. is fighting to be free. and you're gonna let him get caught up and leave him like that you're going to be a mountain. so that the water can be free.

of the hate continues to build across southeastern parts of australia we've had some rather cool somewhat since and windy weather down towards the southwest and ahead of this system we've been dragging in those winds adelaide could well get up into the mid forty's as we go through with day record is forty five point seven celsius and we approaching that temperatures to go into the heat of the day further east while thirty six celsius the full melbourne fire risk continues across the southeastern corner of australia and even doubt into tasmania where we have

a thirty five to being away as we go on into friday we'll see temperatures picking up in melbourne to around forty celsius young cumple then for the tennis but you say the cold zero s. thought it's pushing behind adelaide around twenty nine it was little more clouds coming through but the further north could even see a developing topical system coming through here as we go. when is the next couple of days a caper naivite weather cost far more of a strike a little bit of weather may while making its way across new zealand this area just seeing some outbreaks of rain for a time seventeen celsius there for christchurch twenty three in all clean will see that wet weather just not a little further more because as we go through friday highs than the twenty. in centennial twenty seventeen the people of the kurdish region of northern iraq

voted in favor of independence from. the joy it was short lived as the iraqi government reacted forced me against any idea of separation. al-jazeera world travels to the kurdish regional capital of the libyans to investigate independence and the iraqi kurds on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera. hello on the intent of this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london coming up . venezuela's opposition leader. himself in as the country's interim president as

hundreds of thousands marched to demand the end of the maduro government. the president of turkey and russia hold talks in moscow to try to find common ground on syria. sudan's president is in qatar the start of a golf tour as anti-government protests continue in his country. and only welling's with the school students including the latest on the search for the missing premier league football or maybe our most solemn. venezuela's opposition leader one guy door has sworn himself in as interim president following another day of nationwide protests for and against nicolas maduro why don't took the oath as president a few hours ago in caracas and shortly after that the u.s. president donald trump said in a statement that his government would recognize gordo as venezuela's new leader

trump said he would use the full weight of u.s. economic and diplomatic power to push for democracy in the south american country president maduro was quick to respond saying that he was breaking relations with the united states and being diplomatic personnel seventy two hours to leave the country speaking from the balcony of the presidential palace he said he would not be stepping down. not so there are many more than half of the planet performed we come from the streets from all over society and we have been here in the presidency for twenty years and that's down to the votes of the people and in this presidential palace we have gotten here and we will stay here with the votes of the people which is the only way to elect the constitutional president of venezuela only the people can elect their leaders and only the people can remove them from power. this was the scene following the announcement by god oh as anti-government protesters and security

forces clashed in caracas. earlier thousands marked the sixty first anniversary of a coup which ousted military dictator marcos but as criminal as anti-government demonstrators fear maduro is turning his government into a similar authoritarian regime in terms of who is live for us in that when desire is what authority does this really give. well what's been happening in venezuela since nicole last month a little was sworn in for a second term in office for another six year term in office until about earlier this month many people in venice well i did not know who won why hugo was then he was sworn in as the president of the national assembly the youngest want to take that office and later on when my little was sworn in that's on january tenth he started to challenge the legitimacy of his administration saying that because of my bhutto is not the real president of venezuela because he was elected on friday

elections saying that money is that the solar power and he said that at the time this is about ten days ago that he would be willing to become venice well as interim president and too cold for election well that announcement him being sworn in as venice well interim president by the opposition happened during this massive demonstrations that happened in venezuela today thousands of people took to the streets all around the country in fact the protests started on tuesday night with sixty c.d.'s showing demonstrations against the government and it's been quite interesting what's one way though has been able to achieve because from being a man that many venezuelan did not know about he's become the face of venezuelan opposition the venezuelan opposition since two thousand and seventeen that's when the latest poll to have happened had become divided many have left the country among other things and now there is a man that say i am ready to take office of course his latest strategy has been to

appeal to the armed forces of venice will i because that's where real power stands right now his claim it's mostly symbolic saying that he's the real president he has the support of precedent donald trump and other countries in the region but the truth is that right now any mother would go continues to be in power he controls the military and he controls minutes where there's a natural resources. as we have already said that he is the legitimate leader and he has no intention of stepping down so what's likely to happen now. well what's happening in venezuela as i was saying before if this is unprecedented we might see a situation where we have the opposition a man who is calling himself into room precedential has a supporter of the united states and then we might have nicholas my little who says he has a support of russia china and countries like turkey is the last mode i said that he received phone calls from several leaders around the world that were supporting him we might have a situation where the opposition has the support of economic powers as they do

right now but the president controls the armed forces natural resources and institutions so we might sign start seeing some parallels at some point as you just heard nicolas maduro remains very challenging he announced he was breaking diplomatic relations with the united states he gave the united states diplomats there are in venezuela right now seventy two hours to leave the country and he will continue to remain challenging there was a very big demonstration outside the presidential palace there were thousands of his supporters there or saying that they won't accept any type of interference from the united states there is a bow thank you very much indeed while official joins us live now from washington alan what more to trump have to say in his statement about this or something again a sense from this white house that their reaction will be dictated by what happens on the ground in venezuela we have donald trump saying that he is going to take economic and diplomatic sanctions against. venezuela the difficulty of course is

that over the last number of years they have used economic sanctions very much against venezuela but a senior administration official insists that there are still plenty of tools in the box that they can pull out to put pressure on the maturity as you certainly don't trump has been tweeting in saying he's taken this action to try and protect the people of venezuela and certainly that was a point he emphasized in the white house just a short time ago. when i consider getting a thing but all options are on the table that. we just all options always fall options are on the. and to else is followed trumps lead and come out in support of the self-proclaimed interim president. oh well that's certainly didn't happen in a vacuum this isn't just countries acting independently there was clearly a coordinated effort that they understood that if the leader of the national assembly declared himself as the interim president they would immediately but him

and the united states has done that might pump had talked about it for a couple of days certainly might pence the vice president sent down a video message to the people of venezuela saying that the united states was behind them we also saw brazil guatemala. brazil colombia and part of why winning in as well and the canadians to see the no recognize the interim government rather than that of nicolas maduro interestingly enough as well in the last hour mexico has said that they have diplomatic relations with venezuela remain unchanged so it's clear that donald trump and this white house this administration is trying to build an alliance a coalition that will take economic and diplomatic action against venezuela what is interesting as well is that when the senior administration official was asked specifically about a possible oil embargo that wasn't discussed that is perhaps

a road that donald trump would be reluctant to go down because if you start restricting venezuela oil imports into the united states that then has an on the record on what people pay at the pumps and that has a knock on effect too on the economy which is already struggling because of the economic come government shutdown and certainly don't want to create any more economic jeopardy for something that will be the main plank of donald trump's reelection effort in two years so be interesting to see of the next few hours if there are any other countries that are going to follow brazil colombia part of why the united states and canada in recognizing the interim government know in caracas and fishing thank you very much indeed. the turkish and russian presidents have wrapped up talks in moscow on the situation in syria that of a putin welcomed a u.s. troop withdrawal and said he is ready to host a turkish iranian summit on syria i have a wretched one said that his country will deal with any groups that may fill the

void created by the withdrawal of the american forces two leaders are trying to find some common ground despite backing opposing sides in the conflict or a challenge has been following developments in moscow there have been speculation that these two men might strike some sort of deal with russia saying that turkey could have its buffer zone against kurdish groups up in the north in return for ankara hour in russia to finally return he'd live to government control well that doesn't seem to have been what happened at least not yet yes russia said we will help our turkish friends to ensure their security but putin believes that the best way of doing this is to get the kurdish groups and damascus to strike deals with. usually i'm in this context we support the establishment of dialogue between damascus and the representatives of the kurds such dialogue will certainly help in bringing together the syrian society and help national reconciliation and will be

beneficial not only for syria but also for the neighboring countries. and as the weather seems likely to allow russia to do what it wants with it lip of the rebel strongholds that russia says has been overrun by terrorists recently well i don't doesn't seem to be abandoning it quite yet. because we would jointly fights against terrorist organizations in italy as we agreed because this is not a quick struggle it is a long fight our main goal is to secure peace and stability for the syrian people and leave terrorists without opportunity to strike so where do these two leaders go from here well certainly there is going to be more dialogue talk towards pushing forward is the tardy syrian constitutional committee and russia says that he's going to host a russia iran turkey summit soon and i spent two hundred years senior political analyst. i started by asking him what the main outcome of the meeting was well

first and foremost they have not not reached an agreement so clearly there's a lot of goodwill clearly there's a lot of chemistry and there's a lot of coordination dialogue cooperation specially on the bilateral relations that's going on on economy on culture on tourism and even on certain committed our fares but there is no agreement on the very particular subject for which they met today which is what to do about northern syria what to do about it lead what to do about the security or so-called buffer zone what sort of the division of labor between turkey and russia moving forward to secure northern syria so to speak up on one of those the buffer zone for example and the turks wanting a kind of thirty kilometer area how would that work what is it the russians object to or worried about with that well for one. as.
