the. green revolution in two thousand and nine so this is a very complicated situation and on this side street you see at least three million people scavenging for food more than three point five million people have been forcibly displaced from their country and so when you see that the interest of the ruler just not my state interests overseas billion population they have to leave their post immediately and now we have a young president like one white law who has unified not only their people well deep legal decision in the country to seek out a way out the restore our rule of law and democracy in the country. good to talk to you i say ask me to appreciate your time it's my pleasure thank you so much as we mentioned russia and china are firmly backing president nicolas maduro china as reason to be concerned about the turmoil in the country are china correspondent

adrian brown reports they were jumping for joy when president nicolas maduro was lost in china four months ago but today the leadership here is not excited about the prospect of venezuela without him at the helm. china is venezuela's biggest creditor has invested heavily in its oil industry and regards president maturer as its strongest ally in south america china has lent more money to venezuela's upwards of sixty billion dollars than it has to any other country in the world it's probably been repaid up to two thirds of that but that leaves anywhere in the neighborhood of twenty to thirty billion dollars venezuela china. analysts say china's leaders are concerned about whether the deals will be honored if the opposition party takes power but for now china continues to voice support from the duros coupled with veiled warnings to the united states. since china opposes for

interference in the internal affair of finance wella especially when israel and government to uphold national sovereignty independence and threatening military interference and continued to support efforts made by the stability. the growing political economic and humanitarian crisis in venezuela has attracted global headlines and concern the main evening news on state controlled television has shown pictures of the protests but so far made no mention of the violence or suffering of the people. as in africa chinese influence in south america is expanding fast especially in venezuela besides money china has also been helping the mature regime in another important way it's now venezuela's biggest provider of arms including weapons for crowd control which have been proving so effective joining the current unrest adrian brown al jazeera beijing. oh plenty more ahead

there on the news out of the united arab emirates sic used to have using spyware to hack the i phones of rival leaders and activists. a campus crackdown and harsh to me but it's not the students who are being targeted. and in sport asian football's governing body is investigating crowd trouble at qatar semifinal victory in the u.a.e. details coming up later. told us they have a first the united arab emirates says the saudi led coalition in yemen has struck ten training camps outside the key port city of data on wednesday there's been more fighting there of the past few days threatening a cease fire deal struck in sweden last month the u.n. special envoy is in one day to try to preserve the truce back in the u.s.

some republican and democratic politicians are trying once again to stop the trumpet ministration from supporting the saudi led coalition fighting in yemen they have resubmitted a draft resolution that was passed by the senate in december but blocked in the house of representatives one of those supporting the measure is former presidential hopeful bernie sanders late last year i had the opportunity to meet with several very brave human rights activists from yemen urging congress to put a stop to this war and they told me very clearly when yemenis see made in us on the bombs that are killing them it tells them that the united states of america is responsible for this war. this is not a message the united states should be sending to the world the united states should

not be supporting a catastrophic war led by a despotic regime with a dangerous and irresponsible military policy a dying estabrook has more on this from washington will this resolution has a much better chance of passing than it would have a couple of months ago when a similar resolution was introduced in the senate back in december a bipartisan group of senators led by bernie sanders introduced a resolution to end u.s. involvement in yemen it passed but it didn't even make it to the house of representatives for a vote because the house at that time was controlled by the republicans well since that time the democrats have taken control of the house so this measure would have a much better chance of passing now the sixty thousand dollars question is whether or not the president would veto any kind of resolution that would come to his desk there's a chance that he might but there's also

a chance that congress would override that veto right now there is distaste in the u.s. senate and in congress over u.s. involvement in the atrocities that are going on in yemen and additionally there's been outrage over saudi arabia's involvement in the murder of journalists jamil so those those two things could provide impetus to get this resolution passed in both houses and could put pressure on president trump to sign it. the saudi u.a.e. coalition in yemen says it will release seven hooty prisoners after these release the saudi prisoner on tuesday the international committee of the red cross health bring him back to riyadh the u.n. envoy to yemen martin griffiths says he wants to make prisoner swaps more common in an attempt to preserve the ceasefire this is

a very positive step today and. we really hope that more of that would be done to alleviate. the suffering and bring calm through to. many many families who have been affected by the conflict in yemen. in terms this is not related to today. release based on purely humanitarian and medical basis. we didi hooper also in the future the operation to transfer. detainees will materialize it's been revealed the united arab emirates took advantage of spying software to hack the i phones of activists diplomats and rival foreign leaders reuters news agency investigation found the u.a.e. use the tool known as karma to monitor hundreds of people in two thousand and

sixteen and twenty seventeen among the targets qatar's emir a senior turkish official and human rights activists were two of the reuters journalists involved in the investigation christopher being and joel shechtman had been speaking to al-jazeera they gave more details on how the hacking happened and the told that allowed the u.a.e. to spy. what you finding was the existence of project raven which is a cyber mercenary unit in the united arab emirates that was largely staffed by former us intelligence operatives country hired these people over to a contractor to essentially run their own office of cyber program so this included surveillance of dissidents journalists rivals in the region and as we found out in our story it also eventually included the law americans karma was a was a cyber weapon that was used by project rave in to infiltrate and to hack into the i phones of opponents or enemies of the u.a.e.

and what made it really unusual was that like with most of these types of exploits or hacking tools you know will send somebody an e-mail or send somebody a text message and they have to kind of trick them into clicking on that link right and that's usually the trick here what was really unusual is that all you needed was the person's phone number or email address and it would automatically send a text message to that person they'd have to click on that they need to interact with it all it would just automatically begin to infiltrate the person's i phone all they need to do is receive the message and then from there or the the tool could begin to just download all the person's photographs all of their e-mails all their location data. and you know all their i messages there is a great interesting to tar obviously because that is a kind of a regional rival of the u.a.e. specifically they went after a lot of members of the royal family including the emir of qatar himself they were able to hack into his i phone and or at least an i phone at least we know it to be

an i phone that was used by him and the i phones of many of his family members and you know people associated with the royal court. well the united nations is warning the refugees and migrants crossing the mediterranean sea are losing their lives that an alarming rate new figures from the un's refugee agency show six people died on average every day last year. it estimates more than two thousand two hundred migrants died or went missing while attempting the crossing the route was particularly dangerous for boats leaving from libya where one person died at sea for every fourteen who arrived in europe and that's the spied a drop in the number of refugees reaching one hundred thirty nine thousand arrived in twenty eight hundred the lowest number in five years the u.n. high commissioner for refugees is blaming politicians for the crisis it's a race between countries not to take the people so it's

a negative race it's an anti solidarity race birth the governments for political reasons are performing pushing the responsibility of this rather simple gesture to pick a few. miserable people. in their country two boats carrying migrants and refugees capsized off the coast of djibouti at least fifty two people are confirmed dead and many more missing they were carrying around one hundred thirty people thousands of people from east africa often attempt to cross the red sea in the hope of finding work in gulf countries sudan's intelligence chief has ordered the release of protesters who've been detained there but some of those who were behind bars say they were physically abused by security forces here more than reports from car too. in the safety of her home stara which is not her

real name recounts the details of what happened to her nearly two weeks ago she says she was taking part in anti-government protests in the tombs eastern district of butchery when security forces started firing tear gas and live ammunition which forced her and more than twenty others to seek shelter in a home. armed men broke the door and stormed into the house they treated us like war criminals not like unarmed protesters they arrested us and told us to walk in front of us as we walked the men started touching the girls including me on our private parts and called us demeaning names they took us to an open square. and some were brutally beating the boys. anti-government demonstrations started in mid december over rising bread prices they quickly morphed into demands that president obama and his thirty year security forces have been accused of using excessive force with bullets and tear gas used to disperse unarmed protesters the government

says twenty nine people have been killed since protests began but rights groups say that number is at least fifty and over a thousand arrested. on tuesday sudan's intelligence chief announced that arrested will be really the ruling national congress party says it understands the grievances of the youth and will try to make reforms. we've embarked on a youth to youth dialogue to accommodate the dreams and aspirations of young people that have not been met by political parties we understand now that the political reforms have addressed the grievances of politicians but not everyone in sudan these youth are aware and are connected to the issues facing the nation even if they're not politically. the protests have become the biggest challenge to president bashir and his ruling party since he came to power and in a country that has seen two uprising which led to new governments this is the longest wave of anti-government protests some analysts say that attempts by the government to appease those protesting and the demonstrations. government releasing

the prisoners is an attempt to show those protesting that the government is serious about wanting dialogue with the youth but hours later they arrested opposition figures this will agitate the protesters more than the fact that the protesters have lost lives during demonstrations and have seen the brutality by security forces all of which have been recorded and distributed on social media any attempt by the government to end the crisis. saga says that despite the abuse she faced she and many others are still determined to continue protesting against the government and. what they did affected us emotionally we have experienced what was heard and read on social media about how they were dealing with the protesters it's her ific we will continue to protest until the government goes away. protesters have called for more demonstrations in the coming weeks to continue demanding that president bashir step down but if he remains defiant there are concerns of more arrests and
