government's prohibition to bring in tons of food and medicine donated by the united states and others. and that you know that you are pretending that humanitarian aid is not going to reach bin is why is an act of cruelty. as opposition leaders slowly make their eight hundred kilometer journey to the border the binational bridge that joins colombia and venezuela is quickly becoming the stage for a bizarre jewel. on the colombian side of venezuela aid live concert with world famous pop stars in support of in israel as opposition. meant. and not to be outdone on the other side i hands off the israel a concept called by embattled president. to get underway in unison on friday as you can see the stage on the venezuelan side of the bridge is almost ready for the battle of the bands but this doing music event is framing

a bigger battle over who is going to take credit for providing food and medicine for venezuelans desperately in need. president insists he can provide for his countryman and says shipments of medicine from russia and china have just arrived to prevent opponents from attempting to bring in stockpiles supplies from neighboring brazil he's ordered the border sealed until further notice. but so far here in the border with colombia remains open and thousands of volunteers have been crossing into. and say they're preparing to confront the armed forces to bring food and medicine back into than israel on saturday when gives the word saleem ok we know the government has blocked the bridge with containers but we're here to make it possible to bring in that humanitarian aid by whatever means necessary weigel says he'll be bringing the supplies across four bridges here in patchy da as well as two ports in northern israel and. the how the u.s.

backed opposition plans to do it without being stopped is still a mystery and that's exactly what's raising the suspense and the tension on both sides of the border you see in human scent that israel. results vice president is told al-jazeera has country will help but it won't cross a line. we're not going to spend a border ok what. do we can do we can put supplies on our border in a forgiving as well as want they can come and get it but i don't think this will work ok because as you see from ruin i am a until the river it's almost a thousand kilometers and all these are empty space in venezuela so there is not enough population there to come to brazil to to reach for supplies ok i think that the main points for g.'s humanitarian aid would be the ports and hours of the

border was colombia. has more from bolivia and brazil near the border with and it's . now the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has closed venezuela's border with brazil the question is what exactly is brazil going to do next we've heard for the past forty eight hours that brazil is going forward with a plan in which aid comprised of medical supplies and food stuffs will be delivered to brazil's border with venezuela at which point a convoy from venezuela will cross into brazil we're told this would happen on saturday february twenty third would pick up that aid in within take it back into his will for distribution now the question becomes is this process going to get a lot more complicated going forward at this point there are still a lot of unanswered questions when exactly is that aid going to get here boa vista which is the capital of more than what i'm a state how exactly is that aid then going to be transported to the border to the

town of pocket i'm up which is right on brazil's border with israel it's the main entry point for venezuelan refugees and migrants who have been crossing into brazil and what exactly is going to happen after that nonetheless officials here reiterating as they have over the past few days that this plan will go ahead we expect we will be hearing more specifics in the hours to come as president has pulled back from plans for a complete withdrawal of u.s. troops and syria two hundred will remain on the ground forming what the white house described as a peace keeping force i don't trump has been under pressure from advisers and allies since the surprise announcement last year gabriel is on to has more from washington d.c. . it's been over two months since donald trump made the surprise announcement that he was going to be pulling out all two thousand u.s. troops from syria that's an announcement that came as a surprise and also went against the advice of many if is top advisers at the time

well now we're getting indications that trump is backtracking from that a little bit with this announcement that the u.s. will keep two hundred troops within syria for an undetermined amount of time. the readout that came from the white house indicated that the phone conversation with trump and aired on the both sides indicated that they wanted to do what was right for both of the country's interests within syria and that really comes down to what they're calling this potential safe zone there in northern syria now the turkish air go on he wants this safe zone area stablished and in that part of syria in order to clear the kurdish militia forces out of there considers them to be terrorist organization but the kurdish fighters were very much allied with the americans and helped very much lead the fight really in many ways the fight of

clearing syria from i saw fighters and so the americans standpoint is they still want to protect the kurdish fighters in a lot of ways too so there's still a lot of unanswered questions on how this is all going to be coming about but clearly we're getting indications that trump indicates that these two two hundred troops remaining in syria will be good for the united states and it appears in some ways at least that this potentially is agreeable with erda one as well now the turkish minister of defense will be in washington on friday meeting with his american counterpart the interim secretary of defense for the united states will be continuing these to these discussions what is also unclear is well is how this decision will affect european. allies particularly the u.k. and france they announced that they would also pull out of syria if the u.s. did that as well but now with these two hundred u.s. troops remaining remains to be seen if the u.k.

and france remain in syria as well david arusha is an associate professor at the near east south asia center for security studies and previously served at the pentagon he described the u.s. move as a political gesture it's not a large number of forces so it's too small to be militarily significant so when you look at past the political politically significant and i think there's two possible messages one to the turks is that yes we are serious about protecting your interests as you see it and so we're willing to keep our forces here in order to restrain their courage show moments of the syrian democratic forces from align themselves with the p k k attack in turkey and i think the second message will be to.
