to be a good subject to bring different people from all over the world together. is such . that the more i learn about the more. science in the golden age with professor jamil. venezuela's self-proclaimed president is from leaving the country by the attorney general. this is al jazeera coming up fears the cease fire in yemen's port city of daters on the verge of collapse as aid agencies warn of the worsening humanitarian crisis stop the crackdown on chinese companies beijing reacts to the u.s.

filing criminal charges against telecoms john way and reaches the final of the asian cup there thrashed the united arab arab emirates for nail in the so-called blockade. so the u.s. will allow the leader of venezuela's opposition to control some of his government's assets that are in u.s. banks however the country's attorney general has now frozen one gotos assets and barred him from leaving the country that's after the white house ordered sanctions on venezuela's state owned oil company to block around seven billion dollars of assets president nicolas maduro is accusing washington of trying to steal then as well as oil reserves the latest with alessandro who is in bogota to bring us up to date with this decision from the attorney general sounds like a pretty serious development. absolutely come out of the power struggle continues

in business well with the news turns every hour practically this latest one came from the country's attorney general projects i have been who just minutes ago went on television and responding to some interviews to some question said that he had asked the country's supreme court which is also controlled by the government to put in place what he called the interior in precautionary measures against acquiring the proclaimed interim president of venezuela has asked the supreme court to temporarily. profit from leaving the country and also freezing all its assets in venezuela at a time in which as you were saying the u.s. just pushing forward the opposition to be able to control some of the venezuelan

assets in the u.s. possibly there to open a humanitarian corridor and help the venezuelan people as you as you u.s. sanctions that will create a more troubled for the venezuelan economy is quite a complicated matter what that's going on in business will it come to clear what exactly you need general's office is investigating. for however the attorney general made some reference to the new sanctions saying that there could be responsible for having discussed the extensions with the united states government. story and i hate to oversimplify alessandro but this all comes down to money in the sanctions basically. it does especially these latest sanctions these are new and nature something that the u.s. so far refrained from doing previous sanctions that were targeted to specific

well and governmental officials all the way up to president maduro and their assets in the united states in this case the sanctions against the venezuelan state or oil company goes go to the core of how the venezuelan government function eighty percent of the earnings of this state or oil company come from the united states and practically all the hard currency the u.s. dollars that have been well and government needs on a daily basis to do practically everything amongst them distribute food among the poorest in venezuela without that money it's not clear how they will be able to continue doing so the u.s. here is convinced that the venezuelan government says that a tipping point and this pressure could push them to either leave power or accept negotiations and possible etchings the other possibility here is that we might see

an strange sense of the multitude of governments blaming the u.s. for the worsening of the situation in the country thanks for those updates the sun go around p.s.e. there in bogota as we said so much of this comes from the u.s. decision to impose sanctions in some reaction from washington d.c. with kimberly how close. as the united states continues to push for venezuela's opposition to gain control of the country's oil wealth new announcement coming from the u.s. state department the deputy spokesperson robert palatino an announcement that the secretary of state might pompei o has certified the authority of venezuela's interim president to receiving control of certain property in the accounts of the government of venezuela held by the federal reserve bank of new york now the reason the united states says it's taking this action is in order to safeguard those assets for the benefit of the venezuelan people this certainly building on those

sanctions that were announced on monday in the midst of all of this the united states continuing to say that it is not ruling out some sort of military intervention with regard to the ongoing instability in venice way last directly about this on monday the national security advisor would only say that in the eyes of the united states all options are still on the table however there was a lot of interest in a legal yellow no pad that bolton was holding and the words scrawled on it were five thousand troops colombia well colombia does share a border with venezuela and this would certainly be a market escalation of u.s. military involvement if the united states were to position troops along that border let's move to some other news findings again flared in cities across yemen putting a six week old u.n. brokered ceasefire in jeopardy and already done situation is pushed fourteen million yemenis close to famine and the u.n.

says implementation of a truce agreement will be pushed back also you've got the retired dutch general in charge of the troops who stepped down from his role prompting worries the agreement is now fighting more from. the cease fire. appears to be on the falling apart fighting has intensified because of human. main port city further north government troops backed by the saudi and emirate he led military coalition are on the move took up certain areas near the who think controlled capital sana'a un envoy martin griffiths met who think him and to plead with them to maintain the whole day the cease fire which began six weeks ago the hand of the rebels' political council told the u.n. envoy that saudi arabia is undermining the truce oh economic now what our focus is to consolidate the front lines our success will depend on what we will achieve

militarily. this is the retired dutch general who was given the job of ensuring the delicate ceasefire doesn't fall apart patrick comer met leaders of the yemeni government in exile in the city of aden. and he's due in her day it may be his last official mission his being replaced by a danish general who led a peacekeeping mission in mali. the day the cease fire agreed during talks in sweden in december calls for her theory to withdraw from the city and port it's the main gateway for much needed aid and food into the country the fighting around it has burnt millions are threatened with famine. the truth these say they will pull out but won't hand over the area to their anime's and they say saudia marital led forces must stop attacking her data who are able cabinet that we need

to fight against aggression and send fighters to the battlefields that should be our answer to those who want to ask only yemen's government and president of the hardy reject the who are saying they must withdraw immediately and a lot of the yemeni army to take over. if the day the ceasefire collapses completely millions of suffering yemenis will be waiting even longer for the four year old war and i smile but i'll just. and these thirty thousand people have fled a town in nigeria because they wrongly feared boko haram fighters were about to attack the un says people panicked when security forces protecting the town of ron moved out. now sudan's intelligence chief is ordered all those detained in the anti-government protests last week out to be released rights groups say more than a thousand protesters opposition leaders activists and journalists were detained

remember they have been calling for president omar bashir to step down mohamed vall in a cartoon with more on this one tell us more mommy because it sounds like a huge turnaround. yes if it is if the words are followed with action because what we have so far is a statement that has been or a news line that has been disseminated to the social media groups by ministry of information we know that earlier today the head of intelligence visited one of the prisons in khartoum where some of those protesters are detained and he said after that he was quoted as saying after that that all those detained during these this wave of protests will be released and after that that line came on social media groups coming as i said from the ministry of information however come out we still don't tough any details about how many are going to be released we don't or also we don't already have any details about how many were detained the minister did not yet two weeks ago or even more than two weeks ago they said that they detained more

than eight hundred but we understand that many more have been detained after that as you said organizations independent sources say it's more than one thousand between one thousand and two thousand so. we don't have details about how many are going to be released we don't have yet details about when the fear has been expressed to us by some protesters that's probably this is just a propaganda rules to try to you know send some goodwill gestures without without really giving real results any time soon and probably this is going to be a very slow operation maybe they will listen and then days later or weeks later there were list some we have also been told that some of those detained protest as well accused of sabotage or destroying property and so on and probably that court cases. could be open against them and that means they could be shifted from the

category of detained protesters or political detainees to criminals which may means that they may not be detained until the legal process takes takes its course. jim thank you for that update. concerned and disappointed is china's response to the u.s. justice department announcing criminal charges against the telecoms giant while way and its chief financial officer edgings calling on washington to stop what it described as unreasonable suppression of chinese firms the charges filed on monday include fraud theft of trade secrets and conspiracy more from agent brown in beijing. well away is a company that has come a long way very quickly not just china's largest telecommunications company but also now the world's second largest maker of smartphones bigger even than apple sales worldwide are doing well in spite of allegations its products contain
