president nicolas maduro spent the day showing he's still in control of the military hanging out with the navy. after overseeing military exercises a prelude to what he says will be an unprecedented display of force next month. from colombia there is a conspiracy to divide our armed forces thousands of messages every day through the social media water trying to erode the army's morale and plant the poison over trial today i come to say that this bolivarian armed force will be every day more loyal to the people to the revolution. as he spoke that so-called poison was being distributed by opponents to members of the armed forces it's an amnesty law offered to soldiers and high ranking officers guaranteeing that they'll be no reprisals if they defect and cooperate with the interim government. forces we are inviting them to join us to join the people not to come from there.

would issue a quote significant response you see in yemen al jazeera columbia eric fons with us why is president of the council of the americas and he says the u.s. has a history of responding with force in latin america if its diplomats become targets . clearly there are some red lines i mean if the u.s. diplomats or u.s. officials who are in venezuela now were targeted or somehow. made you know targets by the regime i think the united states would respond i certainly don't work for the u.s. government and i can't say specifically what that would be but i think it's very credible to believe that there would be a response you know when the united states went into panama in one thousand nine hundred nine the cast its belly there the reason why was because manual noriega actually killed at least one u.s. service member who was in panama and harassed several others and so this is something that any u.s. president would take very very seriously and i think this is

a warning to them of their own government don't take this actions because if you do there will be dramatic steps but having said that you know there are a lot of other options on the table short of the use of any military force and i suspect that's clearly what people would want to be heading toward for the foreseeable future so let's move on to other news down the search has resumed for more than three hundred people still missing after a dam burst in southeast for sale fifty eight people are now confirmed dead rescue workers say there is little hope of finding survivors under the sea of mining waste released by friday's collapse activists one of a potential environmental disaster as that waste makes its way to a nearby river daniel schwann the reports from broome a genuine. this is the result of the down with spewed millions of liters of waste from an i don't mind it destroyed everything in its path education infrastructure roads and lives still didn't come of this so very. well but if you venture i'm just

looking for a survivor or any sign of life in the wreckage of these has maybe a leg or a hand at this and i don't see the way the house was built and it's hard to see anything. you'll thorough to say there's little chance of finding survivors but families of the estimated two hundred fifty people unaccounted for continue to. move. we found for the nunda looking for his brother pitocin a subcontractor at the mine obviously want to have come to the river to see if i can find some information someone who could tell me something maybe they'll find a body and it might be my brother the mine owners valet have been fined sixty six million dollars the company said the recent inspection past the dam safe. this is just one tiny part of the huge devastation in this region a swathe of destruction that swept through this area destroying homes killing

possibly hundreds of people many questions being asked about why lessons were not learned from the last such disaster in the nearby town of marianna in november two thousand and fifteen. the town of berman dean your remains tense these precautions taken with news of a possible second dam about to rupture the also it is evacuated families in vulnerable areas and continue to distribute food water and medicine and. to dodge she has got view this is still a possibility it will find survivors until we find every single body the fire department works with the understanding that there are still people alive i mean. some say they will not cannot give up this well there is still some hope. my mom cannot go out she's on medications i'm the only one who can go out and look for information.

on their al-jazeera from ungenial brazil. now the former environment minister marina silva visited the site of the dam collapse and she is demanding more preemptive action to stop similar disasters in the future silver said congress on the part of the blame for failing to strengthen regulations and enforcement and we do for. federal and state government support to victims is very important taking measures to prevent situations like this is just as important as rescuing victims we can't become specialists in helping victims and consoling widows and orphans we have to anticipate such things there are ways to protect the society from this kind of crime this kind of calamity. and they bring an avalanche of modern rockers crashed into a hotel killing at least fifteen people it happened in the southern city of the mudslide broke through the walls of the hotel injuring thirty four people. the philippines military says it believes the ice the linked arms group will say of

could be behind an attack on the cathedral twenty seven people were killed and dozens injured in two bomb blasts the attack targeted worshipers that a mass on the predominantly muslim island of hall or. isn't the city that is close to haul or. there are reports that i saw has claimed responsibility for the attack that's something that the philippine military has this missed its recent statements it's pointing to the notorious abu sayyaf group and the government spokesperson says basically that there are already pursuit operations against several members of the abu sayyaf group now no locoed armed group has claimed responsibility for the attack but it remains to be seen how this could impact the already very precarious security situation not just across mindanao but in particular these outlying islands in the southern philippines as you know where no is home to several armed groups in the southern philippines the more islamic liberation front the more

national liberation front members of the private on groups of local politicians and then authorities on the abu sayyaf is that all of us suspect that this time similarly because it has executed similar attacks in the past and that is something that the philippine military is not discounting the president's arrival today in the law is sending a strong message that it says according to state but that is going to crush rebels or groups that are known to be behind this attack it remains to be seen though how this can impact the peace process the very precarious secures situation in mindanao what we all know though is whatever is behind this attack is sending a strong message that the law will always be a powder keg now time and fishing and safe food industry has been criticized for poor nations bad working conditions and unsustainable practices bob that has received some good news this month the european commission is lifting its yellow

warning scott hide the melwood what that means for the industry. thailand's fishing and seafood industry is big business it's the third largest export or in the world . so in two thousand and fifteen when the european commission issued a so-called yellow card warning over unsustainable fishing practices the threat of a ban on exports to the european union was a major blow anough to cause the military government to launch a major overhaul of the industry and a crackdown on illegal fishing implementing everything from vessel monitoring systems to tougher laws against the ill treatment of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers mainly from myanmar even sinking confiscated boats to create artificial coral reefs when the yellow card warning was withdrawn earlier this month it was a major relief for the seafood export industry but activists say there is still work to be done. as an observer and work on this issue the human slavery situation in taiwan seems to be well improved but we are not one hundred percent free from it

yet we still have a lot to solve especially on restoration of not so resources.
