important that they are protected from further harm and that their basic needs in housing in health in education and work in finding jobs are met. there's also pressure on iraq's government to give more financial help. in the old city of mosul there are more than sixteen thousand destroyed homes the government needs to do more to compensate people and support them to rebuild mosul . opened her shop using donations from charities she and her two sons have taken their first steps towards a normal life thousands more like he's still have nowhere to go matheson al-jazeera baghdad.

a good word for it because it's not a sad situation to be able to. back down from something that has been really great but whatever is. now a few months ago the future of the olympics looks to be going downhill fast as calgary became the city to abandon a bid to host them that see remaining bits also look close to pulling out but a new approach may save taxpayers money and the games themselves reports from sweden. as a winter olympic host stockholm has a good head start on most cities plenty of snow. fifteen minutes from the central station the stockholm is hoping they might in their lunchtime ski pass to the olympic stars in twenty twenty six i would just try to take advantage and enjoy we do like our winter sports no doubt i think it's great i think. sort of sheds light on the mental impact as well and if we can do something about that i think that would be. just

a few months ago realising these hopes became an uphill struggle the swedish election installed a new stockholm council that refused to provide any financial backing for the olympics as the chance to host in twenty twenty six was being rejected by city leaders around the world but the decision of the city of stock hasn't killed off its bid the international olympic committee hard already realised that money was putting cities off hosting the games a year ago they voted in a new way of doing things to emphasize cutting costs and that has turned what looked like a big problem for stock into one of its strengths. the politicians haven't changed course no games if it costs a single tax but nearly all of the news are already built the bed includes currently hosting the alpine ski world championships. so with a bit of blue sky thinking and private money stock is budgeted to cost the average

suite a precisely nothing a different olympic era from that which saw four point four billion dollars of the london summer games come from taxpayers our bid for the winter olympics and paralympics twenty twenty six is tailor made to fit into this new reality over the i.o.c. not only for twenty twenty six but can create the legacy that is positive for the future of the limbic movement use what you have it where you have it and don't be limiting. there are still only two bids for twenty twenty six but both are in step with the new reality with italy's milan courts going up against the swedes with another or stiff olympic offering the i.o.c. say the two cities are already four hundred million dollars under the projected costs of sochi and pyong chang's winning beds. they'll hope that not hitting people in the pocket will have more would be hosts hewing up for twenty thirty paul aris

with europe negotiating with him on his departure is fine if we ever get to the negotiation obviously he may flee some day or he may seek to negotiate conditions but that's not what he's done in the past what he's done in the past is to use these negotiations to prolong his stay in power and to try to demonstrate his legitimacy and that we're against andy gallacher has more from washington d.c. . but if you going to take anything away from what elliott abrams the u.s. envoy to venezuela had to say it's this that the negotiations with nicolas maduro will only go forward if it is to talk about his departure now he's also talked about banning those close to nicolas maduro from traveling increasing the political pressure and meanwhile in montevideo you've got european and latin american leaders really noting more of a cautious approach to this saying that they perhaps should be too many rash

decisions taken at this point but they would like to see both sides in venezuela get to the negotiating table and try and start some kind of democratic elections meanwhile you've got aid moving towards the venezuelan border that is not being let in by the venezuelan military meanwhile of the center of all this is a massive humanitarian crisis that clearly there is a great deal of desire across the world to see the situation resolved to see democracy restored in venezuela but you've got very different approaches between the leaders in montevideo and the u.s. government and the trumpet ministration in particular they're making no bones about this they want to see nicolas maduro gone as soon as possible they want that to be a peaceful transition and increasingly ever since one glider has declared himself interim president his support of course the world is growing but meanwhile the conditions for the people in venezuela are getting worse each and every day. well as andy mentioned a new e.u.

backed organization aimed at finding a solution to the crisis will send a technical mission to the country the contact group says its monitors will provide humanitarian aid and support fany you elections it's been meeting in europe why is capital montevideo that was that so a day of intense negotiations here in the europe why in capitol hill between a representatives from the european union and five from latin america representing divergent views on the crisis in venezuela they ended with some strong words principally from the e.u. high representative of foreign affairs and security issues. who said the humanitarian aid was of prime importance it must be allowed to reach those who need it most must not be politicized and that they would be sending a team to venezuela to ensure that that took place they also called for free and fair elections democratic elections which most of all they stress should be run by

and for the venezuelan people the group toward a common international approach to support these political democratic and as well an own result lucian to the crisis excluding the use of force through free press that it will presidential elections you know cordons with the venezuelan prostitution strong words here in montevideo designed to reach the ears of the two main protagonists in venezuela itself the president nicolas maduro and the self declared interim president one white all poles apart politically with very little inclination to talk to one another here they know that although they have issued strong words that they are united they have holes but very little chance of success . trucks carrying food and aid from the u.s. have arrived in on the colombia venezuela border but it's not yet how that aid will enter the country without the support of the military but still backs president during a sunday around yes he joins us now live from. tell us more about where this convoy

is now. while the aid convoy arrived earlier in cook with as you were saying made its way home cooking their horns inside a warehouse where all this aid will be stored starting today and in the coming days we don't know for how long since the venezuelan opposition and their backers in this case the united states government and the colombian government don't have a plan in place to get this a inside the. divinest government and the military have blocked the entrance into the country with the. barriers that they've set up and trucks blocking the bridge the bridge where the warehouse is what arrived today hearing were two large articulated lorries and six mauler trucks

daughter helping the people we don't know if that will happen it sure as surely doesn't look like it will be easy to move this aid inside the country given that the bridge there was just supposed to be used as the humanitarian corridor is currently blocked. thank you. well just across the border from. america had a tendency in human she's been monitoring developments from the venezuelan city of san cristobal. people here in sanctity stall which is the largest city near the columbia border here in venezuela have already started hearing the news about the container and carville trucks that have already started arriving in kuta by the bridge it's called last in the tests that is where the aid that is supposed to be brought here to venezuela is being gathered and being put in warehouses at least one of the trucks was carrying we're told about five tons of medicine other trucks
