yes mehdi has signed guys head to head with which. is iraq. this is al jazeera. kalonzo rahman you want your knowledge is there a news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. to parkland. a few days coming american i supporting venezuelan opposition leader one why don't trump issues a warning to venezuela's military. violence in the disputed kashmir region and to soaring tensions between india and pakistan. as we speak to survivors of religious

violence in nigeria where one man has lost more than twenty family members. plus following years of war how the ancient iraqi sport of tent picking is bouncing back . welcome to the news hour donald trump has issued a public plea to venezuela's military to support opposition leader one point zero the u.s. president has been speaking to the largest venezuelan community outside of the country at a rally in miami now he told the crowd that the military would lose everything if it continued to support embattled president nicolas maduro. we seek a peaceful transition of power. but all options are on the law we want to restrict your

venezuelan democracy and we believe that the venezuelan military and its leadership have a vital role to play in this process if you choose this pair you have the opportunity to help forge a safe and prosperous future for all of the people of venezuela or you can choose the second pair continuing to support. the one. you will find no safe harbor no easy exit and no way out you will lose everything you own the i showed today i ask every member of the mature regime end this nightmare of poverty hunger and death

for your people let your people go set your country free now is the time for all venezuelan patriots to act together as one united people who own the words cross over a lot in america to tell you see a new man who's in caracas and luciana to cold socialism and a list of sort of venezuela's problems from the president but no real answers as to how he really thinks he's going to solve the south american crisis but it was an impassioned speech in parts and bits of it directed at the military. yes that's true and in fact the president is not the only one who's directing his words at the military just a few hours earlier the opposition leader also gave a very very long and impassioned speech where he again called on the military which seems to be the key here so hail to resolving this issue at least. in

a less violent way that is that what would both trump and idle want is for the military to switch sides they are calling over and over again for the military to side with the constitution with the people of venezuela and to turn against president smuggler but we are seeing no signs of that yet of course key moment is going to be the twenty third of february when both sides one side rather is going to try to bring in this food and medicine that's been accumulating by the tons were here up to two hundred million dollars which is supposed to be brought across the border and of course president mugler is saying that under no circumstances will he allow that to happen the military is going to be out on force on the venezuelan side of the of the border and shuras lee a not so hale the day before both sides are going to be holding very very large rock concerts pop concerts to sort of in the case of the opposition to try to raise more money for this food and medicine and in the case of president last night

little in order to show that he can that whatever the opposition can do he can do better so it's going to be a rather bizarre. image that we're going to see on the border right before both sides really get at each other to see what's going to happen with the sates and kids to see a president trump sort of making the right sounds as far as the venezuelan community is concerned in the u.s. and we can broadcast those images internationally but do those words if it gets through to the people on the ground where you are do they have any effect. well first of all most people can't hear president trump when he gives these messages because one of the only television stations that where it can be heard and also web pages where it can be heard which is with the spanish networks that come out of the u.s. are banned here also the words are that the opposition leader why dog earlier today were blocked on the social networks by the government but little by little they do

filter through. people are at odds here some people believe that this pressure from the united states is the only thing that was really missing in order to bring about change others are afraid that it's just going to be words and that nothing would really change unless the armed forces here decides to listen and switch sides if there is a lot of uncertainty and i think that that's the only thing we're certain of right now at this hour about what exactly is going to happen in venezuela lucy just a few moments ago we were showing on our screen pictures of a lady that joined president trump on stage she is the mother of all scope around but very emotionally in spanish about her son for our international viewers can you just remind us about who want parentheses in this much larger picture of venezuela's rollercoaster political scene. absolutely oscar betis was a former was a member of the military he was

a pilot and he turned on the government he manned just by himself he tried to bring about an uprising he called on the military to join him he flew a helicopter over the supreme court and then they'll helicopters disappeared he eventually showed up again at opposition rallies people were very uncertain whether he was actually an agent of the government so at first the opposition didn't support him very much but eventually he he ended his life trying to take over a military barracks rebelling with a with another group of members of the armed forces that had also joined him and he was killed while asking the government to not to kill him saying that he was going to surrender but he was blown up and murdered and this was actually filmed on not on television but on cell phones and that went viral after he was killed so he has now become a hero of the opposition for the moment we'll leave it loosely of course join us to get more developments thank you let's cross over to washington d.c.

now where we can join eric farnsworth he's the vice president of the council of the americas and a former white house official thanks for joining us live on al-jazeera so i mean were you surprised by the tone of president trump speech i mean talking about the opposition leader very clearly as president quite oh i mean how much of this was for the domestic audience at home and how much for the international audience. yeah i wasn't surprised at all by the tone in fact president trump was talking to several different audiences one was clearly in venezuela the military as lucy has already mentioned trying to get them to throw in their lot with interim president wide though and walk away from support from a doro but he's also talking to a domestic us audience he used the word socialism many times he talked about how the united states was not going to turn socialist and he also was talking to a broader latin america audience as well because he was saying look it's not just about venezuela but all of latin america is going to walk away from socialism for he was clearly talking to several different audiences and i think it was

interesting the tone that he was implying you touched on the sign that part of that speech was aimed at the military and we also asked to see him about it just focus in on that and how the politics at the moment and this very complicated jigsaw puzzle of how to deal with venezuela's military is going to play out because a few have actually changed sides from the duros government to the opposition leader if it still remains a trickle we say trickle you know in inverted commas how the americans and that allies who support going to deal with venezuela in the long. this is the key question the military and the security forces remain the arbiter really of the direction that venezuela is going to take if they turn on the other regime then there is an opportunity really for why though to to really install himself not just as interim president but then to go forward with the elections that are

clearly necessary to get beyond the crisis and then the swell of if the military and security forces remain loyal to my doro a lot of what we're hearing really is just going to remain at the rhetorical stage because really you can't force president maduro to leave so there's a lot of effort underway right now in terms of trying to get the military to shift loyalties. from a lot of different places the united states why do himself the international community clearly so this is something that i think is very much on their way having said that look the u.s. president has raised the stakes here he's put the prestige of his presidency behind transition in venezuela he said very clearly this is an irreversible path and yet it depends in some ways on something that's completely out of his control and that's the venezuelan military so this is a risky in some way of maneuver and we'll have to see how it goes in the days ahead in general i think everybody wants to see

a peaceful transition of power as far as far as the politicians are concerned those that support ongoing and i think that sort of what's been alluded to by president trump but it's a real concern on capitol hill that this could turn violent. in terms of many civil war if if if the breach and the loyalties within the military and within the social classes break down altogether. yeah there is very much a concern not just on capitol hill but among many of us observers and a decision point really does look like it's coming on february twenty third because that's the date by which the opposition or now the interim government has said that they're going to push into venezuela this humanitarian assistance that's been accumulated on the border in colombia and also in brazil and in curacao an island in the caribbean and other places and then the regime is going to have to make a decision he's already said he's not going to allow any of it in and it will be up to the security forces whether indeed they do lead in but this is going to be

a point of friction. could lead to some violence nobody wants that clearly in the best path of for there are just to stand down and allow the assistance to come in to the contrary his people need it they're asking for it but having said that violence is a for their area oh and if it goes on for longer and you don't have a huge number of military and security forces shifting allegiance of then you are going to have the potential for for military and military or security forces fighting each other i don't think it's going to get to the point of a civil war but that's down the road that's one scenario hopefully it will resolve peacefully long before that let's hope so we'll see for analysis when it does thanks very much eric phones with that in washington d.c. but correspondent and began like a who's in miami and idea of cool with the president well speaking you managed to listen in how did that speech go down because because as we talked to with lucy he

tackled a whole range of issues including of course venezuela's opposition leader and of course the military. well this was a very receptive audience it was an invite only audience and most of the people in the crowd were exiled venezuelan so everything the president said was met with cheers he talked about how proud he was to recognize one guy that within thirty minutes of him declaring himself interim president the word socialism came up over and over again throughout that speech because in many ways what the president said here today is being viewed in two distinct ways by many people the venezuelan community it's a genuine effort for change in a country where there's a massive humanitarian crisis and this is the largest venezuelan community in the united states so clearly they want to see change in that country but on the other hand this is also being seen as trump on the campaign trail for twenty twenty you could see that he was saying the word socialism so many times because he was trying to label any potential democratic opponents in the twenty twenty presidential

election outside here before he made the speech there were lots of people protesting saying this is the united states interfering in a sovereign nation but i have to say i spoke to one young venezuelan girl who is not normally a supporter of president trump especially on things like immigration but on this one issue she was wholeheartedly behind the president she has family in venezuela she wants to see change she sees his recognition that maduro is a dictator those were her words as something that is a positive thing that finally there is a world leader addressing this crisis in venezuela so a mixed reaction on the outside of the campus where the president was speaking but inside his words were warmly received by many of those who consider themselves exiles of the door as government well of course the president trying to rival their also sort of back surprise you said that genuine effort by politicians and by the president when it comes to someone like the florida senator marco rubio who's been

visiting the sort of the colombia venezuela border in the last few days so it's an issue for all politicians and certainly the republicans as you say think about the campaign trail for elections in the not too distant future. yeah i mean. rubio marco rubio is a very powerful force when it comes to latin american policy he is a senator here in florida he spent at least twenty four hours on the colombian border we talked about this being a manmade disaster that nicholas my daughter was the man responsible for this of course is all that humanitarian aid on the border there and this is deadline approaching on saturday for when they want to get across the border but rubio was here in the crowd beside president trump again a very powerful force in national politics especially particularly when it comes to things like venezuela and my daughter oh but again and again the theme of socialism being an evil force in the world was something the president kept returning to

again and again and i think that is something he feels genuinely about in venezuela was a bad force but also there is a political campaigning angle to talking about socialism so much because many of those now running in the democratic party are running on a socialist platform they are left of center so he's doing two things that he's genuinely trying to change things in venezuela i think but also he's labeling potential opponents and twenty twenty lection as being similar to murder or similar to the regime in cuba a smart move in many parts because the latino vote here in florida is a very powerful force and of course all roads to the white house lead through florida it's an extremely important state so it is being seeing in two very distinct ways leave it there for now and the delicate in miami thank you. hundreds of us violence continues to cross into brazil each day as the standoff between the president and the opposition leader intensifies spoke to some of them in the border town. who are hoping to gain asylum. on brazil's border with

venezuela the migrants continue to arrive many of them relieved at least for the moment to have seemingly put their desperation behind them back home jackson maria just twenty three years old had quit school to work in a bakery and. young people like us can achieve our goals and it is well i had to stop my academic studies because it became a choice between studying and eating. but even that choice difficult as it may have been didn't make things much easier. the money i made from one week was only enough to buy me one kilo rice. his friend i modified also twenty three tells me things were unbearable well before the current political crisis and can't help but laugh when describing the dark absurdity of the past few weeks even the so named. people are now saying we have two presidents one issues an order the other

refuses it one last for eight the other says the eight won't pass it's public disorder in politics and neither of them is looking out for the welfare of the people. but at this processing center in the town of pocket i'ma run by brazil's federal government and supported by the united nations refugee agency exhaustion is also palpable officials tell us that today alone over six hundred venezuelans cross from venezuela into brazil and many of those migrants will be applying for asylum and many of them will be seeking medical care but now we see more people arriving in very bad conditions arriving with the urgent need of medical attention so a lot of people who are right here in a kind of you need to be immediately transported aboard these different care some people arrive if we actually do nothing but they will still be wearing stefania decided to leave when she realized it would be too expensive to have another baby

in venezuela the expense to get them medicine but it's a deal something my sister said she couldn't believe i was leaving i said yes i'm going i took my child and left time i got here by getting rides and travelling for two days and. like many others here she's happy for a brief respite in this very temporary setting where children play with soldiers and things do albeit fleetingly seem a little bit better. and packet i'ma on brazil's border with venezuela. protests are taking place in cities across the u.s. against donald trump's declaration of a national emergency president trouble took the action to secure funding for the mexico border war now the president is using his emergency powers after congress refused to give him the money he demanded for the barrier trump is facing several legal challenges over the issue. the u.s.

population at the time nazi occupiers built and operated concentration camps like auschwitz and treblinka three million polish jews were killed during the holocaust the polish parliament last year approved a bill criminalizing any suggestion that poland was complicit in the nazi holocaust it was a to change to a civil offense after fierce criticism from israel bakiev our elder is a senior columnist at monitor he says israel has been raging in diplomatic relationships with governments that have a platform on the semitism. it could have been avoided but i don't think that in the long run israel. you know indicate can have it if you want to be still don't think to him on the whole of course you cannot sell clearances and have a discount of a larger wearies and the collaborators of the nazis during world war.

eighteen more than seventeen million people with low scores are barred from buying plane tickets that other five million are glad to get on high speed trains maybe four million companies have also been blacklisted rights activists have raised concerns about the scoring system which relies on mass data that way is a china analyst for the economist intelligence unit she says the social credit system will end up hurting the most vulnerable people. so the social credit system a works actually by principle very much similar to those in europe and america it's just the chinese government is collecting data from a much broader type of indicators. whether people pay their loans on time what they say on the internet whether day visit their parents on time all sorts of those petty behaviors that we don't think normally would be included in devout in the devout of the world it just seems that the arm of china's government is really reaching too long. and for myself i really feel uncomfortable for to see

all those millions of people are affected already by being denied of their access to flights and high speed rio's because a lot of those people are actually part of the most disadvantaged a group in china they're very much in need of bigger help if they did do something wrong on the key thing to help them is actually surrender cation to cheat teach them the consequences of their behavior and try to help them inside of just taking scores and i can see the system probably maybe by out of good intention but hurt the very much the group of people that it should help. this really fundamentally it's a social justice problem it's also about how they draw the line because i know that many of the top leadership and their families are not including the system and then eventually who is being being monitored and which group are actually being helped
