but as you mentioned the president is likely to veto it unlikely they'd have the numbers the democrats in congress to get a an override a veto so that's probably not likely something that they're going to be able to do successfully and many experts on lawmakers say that trumps rushing knol for his emergency is based on false or misleading claims but that's not likely to affect his base though is it i mean this is a promise he made to his supporters and he aims to deliver he does aim to deliver interestingly enough and underreported is the fact that some supporters in his base are not happy with what he's done in terms of allowing the government to stay open he talked at the press conference today about ann coulter she is not happy that you allow the government to stay open because she knows the reality here this is going to be tied up in courts for months if not years there is not going to be a wall as she said and so for her and some other people on the base the president is trying to fulfill this promise in a way that's not going to deliver the wall so they are not happy so it's you know

it's interesting that the base is not uniformly happy with this declaration today jamie a final thought from you what is the public sentiment about trump's declaration i mean do ordinary americans feel as a security across the border because nobody apart from trump seems to think there is an emergency. most people think there is not an emergency on the border and at that spot you are going through this to test. most of the illegal drugs coming through ports of entry people who look at the statistics know that there is not an emergency in act today the press conference the president said he didn't need to do that and that's fairly telling so i don't think people are surprised because they knew he was going to do this but i don't think most americans think he's going to be successful in the us senate thank you very much for talking to al jazeera. now in an interview with al jazeera venezuela's president has accused the u.s. of trying to destabilize his country and they close the duros says the u.s.

backed opposition is called for bring in aid on february twenty third is nothing but political theater and he won't accept it but they're also criticized the e.u. nations for supporting u.s. military intervention he says the u.s. involvement in iraq and libya has achieved nothing but death and destruction. i think that some europeans made a mistake when they supported the american war in iraq can you ask any of the coalition countries was it necessary to intervene militarily in iraq and divide it and kill millions of its people i think they also made a mistake when they bombed libya and killed more than one hundred thousand civilian candies errors be corrected i think they made mistakes in their destructive policy approach in syria and are making more mistakes with venezuela. this does not happen and will not happen any material that comes from outside the

country must be subject to certain conditions such as inspection and taxi in all countries whether by air sea or land and then there will be no problems there for the trickle presentation they are attempting on february twenty third will not happen. after conducting a dialogue with the opposition in the dominican republic we agreed to hold the yearly presidential election in the first four months of last year after which part of the opposition withdrew and did not sign the agreement and eventually it was agreed on may twentieth these elections were conducted according to the law and the constitution and with international and local observers ten million voters participated in the elections and eighty six percent of the voters voted for me therefore the interim legislative elections were done. and anything else is just whims an attempt to destabilize the country from the white house well lots america and it's on the sea of newman joins us live now from the venezuelan capital assia

so what more do we know about these reports that u.s. military planes are set to fly into colombia bringing in aid supplies for venezuelans hello daryn the state department has actually confirmed it some two hundred tons of food and medicine is due to arrive on saturday we understand in which is the city that's right on the border with venezuela where more food and medicine has been collected over the last week or so but until now the opposition said that it was going to deliver twenty million dollars of emergency supplies into venezuela but now that they say that that may increase to as much as two hundred million by february the twenty third which is the date that they have set for trying to cross these supplies into venezuela define president nicolas maduro has vowed to stop it by any means necessary peacefully he says hey they won't kill anybody but that they are going to block the entrance of these supplies come what may so there is going to be

a real showdown on the twenty third it's not quite clear how this is going to play out but. the days are in the moment and the the hours are rolling and in fact the opposition leader issued yet another appeal to the armed forces that support president mahmoud of telling them they have eight more days to decide whether or not to quote support the constitution the people of venezuela or a dictatorship down as you say and as the opposition leader one wideout has made another appeal to the military but how confident now is president maduro that he can stay in power. that's very difficult to answer because we really don't know what's happening behind the scenes again it depends very very much on the state of the military on whether they will remain loyal to him if they do it seems highly unlikely that he will be stepping down any time soon if at all you heard his interview he sounds confident he sounds as though he's going absolutely nowhere but in politics it's hard to tell as it and the

pressure is on the military the united states has been dangling a carrot and his stick to the high ranking members of the army and the bowl the very end forces as well as the security forces promising that they will have a sort of an immunity and in fact have sanctions that have already been placed on some of them removed if they cooperate with the opposition in syria thank you are not also to come here in the news hour including india warns of a strong response that mourns the victims of a deadly bomb blast in kashmir. why spain's prime minister has called a stop election the end of a probe of the third in less than four years. and in support of former n.f.l. quarterback who's decided not to have his day in court that's all still to come. now took his presidency as the united states isn't putting its full weight into the

investigation into the murder of some alpha this is a new report from turkish police suggest that remains may have been burned inside a well the journalist was killed and dismembered of the saudi consulate in istanbul back in october so that as more. the residence of saudi arabia's consul general in istanbul is once again under the spotlight a recent report by police suggests saudi journalist a man has shipped his remains were burned in a well used for cooking purposes inside the compound security camera footage leaked to the turkish media late last year appear to show his ship his remains being carried inside the consul general residence in bags and suitcases after being killed and dismembered at the consulate building just meters away. turkish persecutors have not said much on the case but information on evidence has been leaked to the media in bits since the beginning many wonder why it has not been revealed all its ones i think is in danger by you know leaking information to the

media. it can even lose its value so to share all this evidence with international investigators when the un has the authority to carry out their investigation in addition with the investigation going on into. turkey sure thora t. says that the murder was ordered by senior saudi officials and accuse the salvage the sharif of not cooperating with their investigation the process has stalled the turks have said it is time for an international investigation. this was followed by the un special rapporteur agnes called a mars visit to turkey for a possible independent inquiry her initial statement back to turkish position but she says her request to get a copy of the crime scene investigation and an order recording of the killing have not been met in our legal system recordings can be counted as evidence only if they

are obtained by court order we don't know the source of the recordings is it turkish intelligence or the police or some of the country's intelligence who passed it on to turkey i believe the chief prosecutor will soon present an indictment what's important is whether this indictment will mention the crown prince or not if yes this may be followed by issuing a warrant for the suspects mom so now passed in the house shook to murder remains almost sold despite the leaks of information and the efforts of legal and crime experts those seeking justice expect it to move the case forward at stake is the country's judicial reputation see namco solo else as a stumble. on to government protests a broken apps again in haiti demonstrate to say they won't stop until a president resigns but is refusing to step down despite more than a week of rummy's which have to let these a people line all right on that as the latest from the capitol hill to points after a brief calm on thursday protesters once again took to the streets of port au

prince demonstrators marched near the presidential palace calling for the resignation of the haitian president the crisis has put much of port au prince on a sort of lockdown businesses are scar closed schools are closed people are having a very difficult time finding access to water and finding access to food we went out today and saw dozens of people protesting on the streets near the presidential palace but we also saw parts of port au prince that are sort of returning to a sense of normalcy people once again walking on the streets of the city vendors once again selling their products on the streets but there is still a lot of discontent left here in the city people are not convinced by what the president said that they a solution to the problems the economic problems that plague this country is actually on its way the president did in his speech on thursday evening that this got that the government would soon be. giving a proposal for finding a solution to the ongoing political crisis but we haven't heard anything from the government as to what those next steps are actually going to be people here angry

over government corruption yes but they're also angry over the systemic economic problems that continue to plague the country haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere certainly the poorest country in the americas coupled with a declining economy over the last couple of years skyrocketing inflation even when things are calm in the country it's difficult for people and having no guarantee that that things are going to improve in the daily lives of haitians it's no wonder it's no it's not difficult to see why people are taking to the streets to protest. spain's prime minister pedro sanchez has called the general election after losing an important budget vote voters will doubt head to the polls on the twenty eighth of april this will be the third election in four years on thursday politicians in supporting dependence for the catalonia region were among those who voted against the proposed budget. spain must continue to advance and progress from a point of tolerance and respect from moderation and common sense excluding

week the talks did not make the sort of progress that either side had hoped for hopes of a breakthrough have therefore been misplaced now remember there is a real sense of urgency to these negotiations because president donald trump had said that unless there was a deal by march the first beijing time march the second washington time that he was prepared to levy new terrorists on some two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese products raising those terrorists from ten to twenty five percent but before the delegation left the delegation including steve minutiae in the u.s. treasury secretary and robert lighthouse or the u.s. trade representative they had meetings with president xi jinping and he offered them words of encouragement. we all think that in terms of maintaining the prosperity and stability of the world as well as promoting global economic

gathering on international security is in full swing leaders debating the biggest challenges facing a world one of those challenges described by the conference as the biggest threat to western democracies is russia's and china's growing military ambitions. u.s. president donald trump is waging a trade war against china and has given notice of his intention to withdraw from a decades long arms control treaty with russia. then where is the world's biggest visit powers could be on a collision course it's a mess to speak very honestly about it it's a mess and i'm very much concerned bart's a world on fire. i don't think a new world war is straining but instability may be the

result of all this and the reason is that we have seen a withdrawal of the us from global affairs. the u.s. is sending its largest congressional delegation to the conference the trump administration has ramped up its rhetoric against iran and wants the e.u. to withdrawal from the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal. the move dismissed by the e.u. russia china and many countries concerned citing fears that withdrawing could lead to more violence in the middle east iran has other resources yes it has friends in europe and it also has friends in the neighboring region and it has friends in russia and china and it seems pretty unlikely that this kind of u.s. pressure can itself crush iraq wars in the middle east and the fight against eyes are on the agenda here in munich many countries in the region are some of the

biggest arms buyers raising concerns about further instability. there is about ink pressure to the war in yemen the four year conflict has created the worst humanitarian crisis in recent years yemen is perhaps the worst place to be a child right now and that that is why we need the peace talks to continue we need unimpeded access for humanitarian help and of course we need the warring parties to stop bombing each other indian since it was launched in one nine hundred sixty three the munich security conference has been promoting the ideals of the international liberal order that has prevailed since the end of the second world war but the international liberal system faces its biggest crisis briggs's continues to send shock waves across europe populism is on the rise and autocratic
