you are the product because the use of all those convenient digital online services are only seemingly for free because we paying with our data. we have neither inside nor overview about our digital self and absolutely no possibility to actively control it. then put somebody on line as a see have a command. for vented about as they missed us this new student is a dot you got to spit sublist and now it's an increase in just making the atom cannot decide which of the he'd be at is that supposed capital are lots on fit buy it in internet. this will be missed this is

a few min kept. going up to date up brokerage child undersized consequent great frenzy at rest and on hand field sit under a few mit. beating such highest and allow french bacon to put sesson into account in spouse us mit diden tustin talked in z. for i'm lost and for. some cow off. went that's so much better than i was vietnam s. not you can watch fashion so owned by the size of yet off that side if you off the band i was for inform unlike you didn't think the lush trust the bin would see and two hundred fifty rushed us to been would soon come under hostile explicit seem to see for light and it was understood that since the smashed and i'll group gets most unprofessional so far on vital indies it looks close it gets old and get out too much and he kind of did point out. the data we create our digital self is also of interest as a juicy source of information for the intelligence community. so

quickly it is now being put placed on you asked networks infrastructure like trying to get a structure tapping straight in enabled by critical partnerships the full extent of which have still not been revealed to this day not even from the snow disclosures eighteen t. for aizen and a number of others but that's where it started with the phone companies ok it was it was rapidly expanded to include emails and all related information internet usage and all related from ation and financial transactions. the revelations by edward snowden provide detailed insight into the relationship between intelligence services and private companies. telephone metadata and web browsing histories of great interest to the intelligence community.

see that's really industrial relations. they were tapping the fiber lines between the google servers yet they don't even know this is going on google dot ok so i mean that's the point they can tap lines anywhere in the world and when they do that they can get it between the servers of any but any company. from my perspective i think there's been massive collusion between the big corporations and big government with. the military security complex they have agreements between them where they will pay money for data if they produce data for n.s.a. or they will also pay for access and like for example the the room in the eighteen t. facility in san francisco that has the n.s.a. . it's the n.s.a. room that has the tappan on an hourly fee data and it's really eighteen t. that has them maintain that room facebook is evil in my view have been saying as he

is it's the spies wet dream it does real for up all information and it's just there on a plate for the spies to access and we know they do you through back doors and things and yet that's a defamation has taken weeks or months together going into vigil they extend what google of information to google has is nothing near what n.s.a. does for example they do not have they have access to the emails if they're using g. mail for example but not all the other service providers and they don't so they don't have that data to do a composite view of what people are doing nor do they have access to all the fiber optic lines around the world nor do they see the banking transactions or the financial transactions or all the phone calls they don't see that sort of vast amount of information that google does not have.

so that's something that is leading to increasing concentrations of power and you get some straw people these are companies and then these contracts to the national security sector as contractors. so the creative vibrancy. market capitalism is what i'm concerned about. many of the companies concerned reacted immediately to the snowden revelations they proclaim and advertise seemingly tap proof mobile phones and texting services followed by public announcements pleading that they will no longer put up with the pressure of the intelligence services.

the way in which technology companies have reacted in the waiting list. leaks means that the level of cooperation between technology companies and and intelligence agencies has gone down and that's that's that's added to the threat in some ways. it would be slightly bizarre if all the advances in technology in the use of bulk data analysis which are improving. the performance of business improving the health care. delivery and so on somehow national security was allowed to do so. it's not as if the more secure you get the less privacy you have all the more previous you have the less security you have these you know in a free society like we join the west. your freedoms are guaranteed by security and

so the job of western governments is to find the optimal levels of privacy and security supposed to maximize. as a consequence of the september eleventh attacks the technical capabilities of the intelligence services were massively expanded international collaboration of national spy organizations was also intensified not always without friction and problems they have similar aims like combating international terrorism they get they listen in on one another. after the nine eleven hit there was this perspective that germany had had screwed up that the security services crude up that they had harbored terrorists. cells and homburg. you have a number of the hijackers. transited through live there

plan there. was a significant cell there's no question about that and there's a whole history behind it and i think i think as i said i said this even publicly said this in terms of the testimony for the bundestag the germany within europe was declared. a target number one and i believe i believe. significant pressure but clearly out of the secret partnership and cooperation to be indian others was expanded and we know that now there's again more evidence has come out there was a special agreement this secret and expanded sheria remit basically gave the united states car blodgett but also it was there was a b. and b. . not going to cooperate or going to help facilitate. the spring two thousand and fifteen a scandal erupts in germany regarding the close and secret collaboration between

the german intelligence service be n.d. and the n.s.a. . the b n d cooperated with the n.s.a. to spy on european politicians and assisted the united states in attempts of industrial espionage. when the press reported that the chancellor rhee had known about the scandal since two thousand and eight it peaked with the german opposition threatening to sue its own government over the b endianness a fair. victorian . now it's become this new.

zine. in and as a cause and opinion dean went in and. from the indies and in these activities. give is a must and to get up as it's your and i'm in don't go but if he isn't better vote it had to move you have a city and what a con it is a lot of protect invasion and fun toys ship guy i'm doing stuff with these and forking and a foothold. since two thousand and fourteen in nk wire into the snowden revelations meets in the wonder stuff for the first time i whistle blower from the usa reports to the parliamentary committee about the n.s.a. and its into relations with the german d.n.d. .

william binney confirm the very close relationship between the b. n.d. and the n.s.a. to the commission of a relationship that already existed during his time in the us intelligence service . as even if i had the vanity and this. was and it was all perceived as kind of those lots of media in this in the field for a base of a hoax on denying took this media. create all the out of print this instruments the parliament how to control it and all he continues to unequal to move into the

better than often things to fit in follow to see. the office and seem to see it so if we can involve we hadn't to see here stuff taught in any law he contains that agony in the meat and if we can't get out and sit on the stuff it's moved into parliament house you control clean them so i mean from what i can see they have the same problem getting information from the b. and d. that the congress has from getting of getting information from the n.s.a. that is the either won't tell them or they lie to them one of the other i mean that's what's been going on in the in the u.s. government the point is that now in our in our case we've been this snowden material has made it obvious that they've been lying to the government that's what intelligence agencies are they are they are tossed to do things in secret that are unlawful. or politically embarrassing you see intelligence agencies aren't aren't controllable unless they're really heavily monitored and there's a verification and unquestionable verification process they don't have that now

that's the problem in our country too we do not have a an undue unequivocal verification process that the agencies can't can't can't corrupt we are how we conclude this is team in the minds of the things that this bill does the parliament audition can go into leading is kicked out so and i can this community still going to parliament that if you can totally immune them into some talk when these talks are going to ongoing when i mean all governments seem to be in a position of having to trust their intelligence agencies telling them the truth. and that is questionable nothing will happen in terms of any self-regulation as organizations are too secretive to complex to walk back to his house that regular. the german chancellor in the bundestag parliamentary control committee are officially responsible for the control of the b. and d. . only with

a more comprehensive and effective control of the intelligence agencies can civil rights and privacy be properly protected. what other options are there to prevent abuse or possible illegal activities by the spies. often only intelligence insiders are left to go public reveal institutional violations and become whistleblowers get there's disparity between these individuals on the one side and the governments and intelligence services on the other and so the whistleblowers and activists soon find out what happens when they challenge these organizations. as a would consider navy stop and be a given the two lesions would have to go ohm's or me as us and good luck to get.

this being bandied react to your own admission of being you were team whistleblower snowden fifty one and your king you but i didn't start and. so your answer was it's and. they are too old to be a very good reason snowden's and best suits are the time they said can best be just out. get to two and get told by a club about us trust them it must see vincent you want for been given isn't very good. after his revelations in two thousand and thirteen edward snowden tried to flee from hong kong to south america via moscow but the u.s. revoked his passport he couldn't continue his journey from moscow and had to apply for asylum in russia. stowed had been criticized about ending up in russia headed up in russia because the state department cancel his passport and so he couldn't fly either version or incredible our goal why would they do that that

allows them to make the argument that he's working for russia and they can apply the nine hundred seventeen act why would they want to apply the nine hundred seventy because the nine hundred seventeen act carries with it the death penalty and they want to get in the death penalty the n.s.a. commission in the bundestag actually wanted to call snowden as a witness many voices in the german public support the idea to grant edward snowden asylum in germany. oh you and a fixed for all practical purposes yes i support science and truth one of the figureheads for the new atheist movement if you believe something without evidence

then that justifies anything you do accept that religion has done good things despite all of our modern beliefs and americans who believe that science holds all the answers for the world to be a better place if religion disappeared tomorrow yes mehdi has done goes head to head with richard dawkins on al-jazeera. donald trump has talked of a special bowl with kim jong il. now the us president a north korean leader ought to meet again this time in vietnam were both very honored to eight months after making history in singapore when they strike a deal on nuclear weapons. and finally end the korean war followers on the twenty seventh of february for special coverage on al-jazeera between two thousand and two thousand and seven there were nine racist murders in different parts of germany but the police were painfully slow to track down the

killer. al-jazeera world reveals the truth about the deaths linked by a single weapon the involvement of the far right and the serious political fallout that ensued the cheska murders case solved on al-jazeera. and i'm down in jordan in doha with the top stories here on al-jazeera venezuela's border with brazil has been closed as president maduro steps up attempts to stop u.s. aid from getting in but says he is considering closing the border with colombia as well opposition that volunteers are trying to get the first delivery into venezuela by saturday but the army is blocking them allowed to zero had a chance to speak to brazil's vice president after venezuela made that announcement

he said brazil will help its neighbor but it won't be crossing the line. we're not going to pass the border. what are you can do we can put supplies on the our border in a forgiving as well as we want they can come and get it but i don't think this will work ok because. you see from. reaver it's almost a thousand kilometers and all the 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 the border with the. palestinians across the west bank are gathering to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the ibrahimi must massacre in hebron twenty nine worshippers lost their lives in a far right israeli settler opened fire inside the mosque palestinian residents in hebron have denounced strict israeli government rules imposed after the massacre

and keeping them from accessing their homes and businesses. day two of a meeting at the vatican looking at sexual abuse by priests will see more testimonies from victims some of them have already dismissed an action plan presented by the pope on thursday as not going far enough they said fall short of their key demand to expel those accused of sexual crimes and those who cover for them from the clergy cardinals attending the four day beating of call for new culture accountability in the catholic church and world food supplies are being threatened by a decline in biodiversity that's the dire warning from the u.n. and the report says food production is becoming increasingly susceptible to shocks like pests disease and weather events that's because only nine plant species make up most of the world's crop production out of a possible six thousand the u.n. says food supply must be diversified to cope with a growing population and climate change. so those were the headlines the

news continues here on al-jazeera of a digital dissident statement that's what it felt. to me peter to whom this is kind of seafood keep to intervene it was snowden. becoming contempt for most political folk turn one was leaving bitter old saying one was of concern really q one of whom the underpinning for. lift of it was snowden. a moment. here and it's a legal thing for credit to him for predicting in this case. i was leave it on. somebody can i.d. me but i was stunned as if it involved as it was noted not touched on came in mystery yet soon exploded. could said ticking off the moment we had known to prove

an opiate of couldn't this i was leaving just wouldn't still if somebody kind of. pushed interest. used my name feelin it what snowden. could command not a chance to call me. a song for a month that he leaks it's my. name. and this dog. has gotten cells crushed in police and good. examples guy my advances team. but if the guns and to promote the depression the of a monopoly is published on the internet where he thinks is now an organization that is in conflict with the f.b.i. the cia the national security agency that you see educated such. an organization

that is well known. to these agencies and in an organization that they are. walter raleigh fort this job is kind of foggy does just by tolls and see in the distance and it's photos to see mostly diplomatic cables also come but intimate connotation is it's of interest to the punters as a dove as a. again melissa to kid of us as we didn't cave it's come for him to give in the seventy's it was one up to dusty bush on the book a human toll in the vehicle does that stop just stop and. the us plot against julian a son came to light in two thousand and eleven as part of the so-called strat four x. . strat corps a texas based consulting company developing geostrategic all strategies for the us government jeremy hammond the hacker who copied

a total of five million emails from the strad for server was sends to ten years in prison at the end of two thousand and thirteen. how means data theft included controversial messages by the vice president of stratford to the u.s. government they contained a multistage strategy proposal of how to deal with a songe to exact to the hacker attack the accusations of rape surfaced in sweden. that this must inspect for puppy and doesn't the traditional shooting going on to introduce could you to your own so it. fits again in middle this is what started to get a potent when does a fetus up the book i must put it in because the typing julian since here the finish but sort of before it was as a new just by talking to start to take it to you know you can take i'm sticking hudson on this with you could open it in tides of hope but you did it because she

didn't in sweden proceed dismissing visit can devise just as i just got on a school offices in the mean dark to. the sun she travelled to sweden in two thousand and ten for a series of lay. their investigation proceedings into sexual misdemeanors against two swedish women were open. a son said he was being subjected to a smear campaign and refuted the allegations when interpol issued an arrest warrant for him he went underground within twenty twenty four hours it had been dropped by the most senior prosecutor and stalking me for an eye and dropped and she said that there was no crime at all. that had been committed. so later on it came out in the supreme court here that both women are concerned i had not followed the complaint and that one of them had said that the police had made this up after a brief game of hide and seek

a songe handed himself into the london police in december two thousand and ten and was remanded in custody released on bail with electronic ankle monitor a son fought in court against his extradition to sweden on a number of occasions. the walls were closing in both from the from the us side he was clearly ready and from the. swedish side and from the u.k. . at the time. in june two thousand and twelve i had a lot of. surveillance and also. has a lady came out was spying on us and the national security agency only because. there was a risk plane coming to the embassy to apply for asylum that that action would be seen and that i would be interdicted. i was extremely well

disguised well i didn't look anything like i normally look. is it true that anyone or heard something a week and still screw. this through the stein in the shoe is correct yes. we. will everything was different. and the reason you put this turn in your sure is to change your game because their day can be quite recognizable and that's not an issue if someone's to seeing you in the newspaper and that it is an issue for a surveillance team. since june two thousand and twelve the sun has been stranded at the ecuadorian embassy in london. at that time i said well i'll be happy to go to sweden provided there's a guarnteed of the. exhibition to united states. because the london independent

had already revealed that the us and sweden were in informal talks about expediting me from sweden and be rendered. we call that rendering. you know that's what the one of the dark side activities that we've been doing. taking people up the street anywhere in the world and sending them to different places for torture or prison. escapees ensure i don't even fog of a kind i leapt in five eight zero. up the side to hear these and snowden. and julian without bitterness on julian guns guns thought fish. a month from god to

biggest of them for vicky dixon julian discourse. it's a whole bunch of to some of us that's my times no one should be killed expend this wasn't long before this critter i'm not a preview of this and some guns inside the glided five thousand seen line that had me on i will spend and get off of the killings on them. doesn't to some kind that sponsors thousand mimeo you know once the stories over the journalists escape often break the stories they've made their careers and their suppliers that time try having broken and created with no hope of proper employment again. you know having left behind your whole way of life your social circle everything and in the case of intelligence for supply of course you face automatic prosecution and conviction today so it's a very high price to pay. well i mean the real threat came when the f.b.i. came into my house and when i was getting out of the shower and pointed a pistol at me. it i was getting out of the shower getting drowned dried off and

they came in pip pointing a pistol at me and also my family so it was a threat and it was hard to threaten people. and then after that the department of justice attempted to fabricate evidence and and indict us i was very publicly indicted with a ten felony is a ten felony count indictment under the espionage act facing thirty five years in prison that was that was the final price you government or the inside the intelligence community there trumpeting these things they're holding these guys up it as examples to say look if you say what's going on the line even is even if you do it for the right reasons even if you do it at the right there will be a record caution it's you know they talk about internal channels and what might that these guys used in terms of analysts and they say people like thomas drake they ended up getting indicted and this is something that i paid very close

attention to and i learned a great deal from it was very rare in american history to get charged with espionage for nods to vs in fact i was actually the only the second whistleblower charged a white man or the first was dana oils when he went to the baltimore sun he did not reveal classified tricks you know they charged with classified but that was a hoax say there was a fraud they reclassified material that they found in his computer which was not conscious right and he had every reason to believe that he would not be prosecuted for what he gave to baltimore sun he would lose his john. he would lose his clearance rate is very serious is dependent on terror and in fact most of the judge he should have now would report are clear. he was taking a very serious risk but i don't if you risk if he thought he would be prosecuted i don't know i was blacklisted i was president i got i was radioactive no government

agency would take me nor nor any contractor with the government it was off limits and n.s.a. made it crystal clear even though there were attempts by even prior to my indictment to find work it all they would all come to naught so i ended up as a wage rate employee. one of the retail stores in the greater d.c. area where i still work but unable to find any other work at all of any kind that was the price you have no job you have no career you have no you have no pension all those years i served in the government i'm now a traitor and an enemy of the state. the price thomas drake another whistle blowers pay for warning against the danger of a surveillance state is high loss of friends and family. flight into exile or long

prison sentences under more stringent conditions. professional isolation and personal financial collapse.

this is so we here is so mirrors. derian dish everything is organized everything is. just. how far we've got in our efficiency. or race the sovereignty of individuals. i'd seen how far an institution would go to raise freedom. for a person's life. and the only way they can do that is to control them every single second of the day and measure it at the same time. i chose to vote myself in such a system. never imagining what i did. that i'd be

charged with espionage. for having defended the constitution protecting the constitution became a state crime. tax. the. crime. and we have the power. you don't. in the end all they had left to do was assassinate me. at the character that's all they had left. assassinate. which is the only in the form. of control right. it doesn't matter what even the crimes against the state were. your unexceptable. you're not fit. to work in the government or see or be a citizen. yet you do not deserve prison. treasure

the wrong guy. where we have that in history. that goes. you just described how the f.b.i. team interrogated me in a similar room and they played the good cop bad cop with themselves and they brought the chief prosecutor and he threatened me with spend the rest of my life in prison unless i cooperated with their investigation and he said you better start talking and i simply said i'm not going to plea bargain the truth. he says we have more than enough evidence to put you away for a long long time i was declared an enemy of the state i committed crimes against

state. but i'm standing here free and i can't be to tell you what it's. ok so i'm thanking you for polina up the mirror to my own government ok that's all right because i'm free i did not end up in the dark hole. ok. now i'm glad the west won in that regard and yet how paradoxical it is that the technology of the west is now being used to mass surveillance on a scale of the stars he never could have imagined. i don't need one agent two hundred eighty quote unquote east german citizen. computer takes care of it for me that's the real machine. that makes

a lot easier to. buy publicly call for the dissolution of itis a you can't reform it to reason over form possible the last thing left which is true is to cut funding. the problem is they weren't smart enough to understand what they were creating but they in fact were creating this master study and network i mean this is like the study and super steroids. the study had all these data all this data on a lot of people but it was all handwritten in paper and files and so on very difficult to manipulate also hard to keep up to date hard to keep complete none of that is a problem any more or less especially with this electronic acquisition of information that makes it really simple so i referred to this is the study on super steroids

you know and this is an n.s.a. and now referred to as the new study agency time after time after time masser violence as. wanting it has been unable to prevent so the most significant terrorists terrorists terrorist incidents of our day it never prevented the boston marathon bombing it certainly didn't prevent them the latest the charlie hebdo massacre and peris why is that i call these things data bulk failures simply because when you have x. keyscore and you send your people in to look at all this bulk data there there's just a non dated with information they can't get through it. a swedish but he did he say this to folks full data for starters by finitely list when the style is off. this enough to take the photos by putting its thought on the mason. party's

thought of the meeting we're going to need it isn't this next the. get about is just off top and the i don't see here oh my. god oh my goodness that is nuts vic is the new model based on the effect. on facts a call yesterday. from one of the four pings that and so have. we the next big evolutionary step we will face the expansion of the so-called internet of things watches fridges but also our clothing will be equipped with internet connections to produce ever increasing and ever more precise data about us through automation artificial intelligence an ever perfected algorithms machines will soon be able to predict our behavior. what happens to

a society that is consciously aware of being primarily observed where every step every action leaves a trail. our lives in a surveillance society will be reduced to simmering in a convenience hell. confirmation behavior self-censorship mere consumerism labeled as freedom of choice. is going to do it so if you're going to some in. the middle. because i'm to pose alone with a muslim family feel. one of the disease needs to shouldn't come lesson as one in the eve of a it's only those many students on that is a god level than the seat. of money for the above a t.v. next monday cuffed. you can. misting someone the only aren't you can have a very pretty aryan security is to take it into iran we can't trust the corporation

we can't trust our government and we send a certain kind of justice by agencies to respect our privacy respect the law so that's the reason to be hopeful small organization a very committed people. when even faced by a giant intelligence bureaucracy like the national security agency like to see early a case of the pentagon on the jays they did bomb except for a can survive and even thrive. ok i could get a bloody nose doing it but still stand up i'm not telling people to do i'm not telling you what to believe you know and it's ok if you hear it's ok if you disagree with me it's ok for everybody you know to look at this because we have to decide how we feel right we've got to stop thinking that what's on the news is the gospel truth one official says behind the podium is exactly the right answer what i say is

something this year obama i could be totally full of. you've got to figure out what you believe and stand for it you have to stand or enough and whether i'm a good guy whether all of that whether i'm a hero whether i'm a traitor none of that matters criticize me hate me but frank about what matters any issues think about the world you want to live in and then be a part of building that.

how we got the so sad as across the amazon basin little bits of rain so you make of the whites wards of a plate you see this area class stress right the way from well santiago to but a seris ahead of that will help to support a seris a high thirty five degree celsius will still missiles you know they go with the showers arite through brazil pushing back over towards the route was ecuador whether to it to bolivia for its side going it's a sad state as that battle. maces way further north or so we picking up a southerly wind there for one of sara's temperatures then of around twenty seven degrees so something of a change coming in here is still warm enough you've thought about a warm sunshine meanwhile across the caribbean last week clear skies for the most part we're hanging on to those showers for the western side of the region so nicaragua could catch the odd shower if you want to see showers up towards the yucatan peninsula some of the pictures you go on into saturday by that stage

guatemala honduras could also see a little bit damp with a little more cloud to just pushing towards jamaica but for much of the island says fine and dry lots of tropical sunshine bursting through some tropical sunshine too into the southeast of the u.s. but a lot of plowed into those central areas more heavy rain just around the deep south pushing into the appalachians. the weather sponsored by qatar in. dhaka. evie that are in no doubt in need it would do. it. for do what when.

years on the massacre at a mosque in hebron remains a flashpoint israeli palestinian tensions. another batch of civilians are evacuated from. syria but concerns of a thousands still trapped. by the united nations our food supply faces a serious threat. plant and animal life. we begin this news with the tussle over sending aid into venezuela where u.s. aid is being loaded on to congo planes right now and then air base miami bound for colombia that's hours after president nicolas maduro shut the border with brazil in a desperate move to stop foreign aid from coming in and he says he's considering doing the same with colombia meanwhile in the border. thousands are expected at a concert james to raise support for them is when his opposition movement led by

bill when i left america at its honesty and human reports from san antonio on the venezuela colombia border. a caravan of opposition deputies scuffle with national guardsman trying to block their way to the colombian border that's where opposition leader vows to defy the government's prohibition to bring in tons of food and medicine donated by the united states and others. pretending that humanitarian aid is not going to reach bin as well as 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 movement. and not to be

outdone on the other side a hands off the israel a concept called by embattled president. jewel 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 of. president maduro insists he can provide for his countrymen 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. i and say they're preparing to confront the armed forces to. bring food and medicine back into the his will on saturday when bill gives the word sorry

i'm 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 my daughter says he'll be bringing the supplies across for bridges here in patchy da as well as to ports in northern venezuela. exactly 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. brazil's vice president has told al-jazeera his country will help but it won't cross the line we're not going to pass the border. what are you can do we can put supplies on the 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. the river it's almost

a thousand kilometers and all these empty space in venezuela so there is not enough population there to come to brazil to to reach for poor supplies ok i think that the main points for g.'s humanitarian aid would be the ports and the border was colombia. mama john jr has been following events from brazil since the border with them is when it was shot and sent this report from. 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 and within take it back into venezuela 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 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 hundreds of palestinians across the west bank gathered to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the ibrahimi must massacre in the hebron twenty nine worshippers died on a far right israeli settler opened fire inside the mosque and hebron in one

thousand four hundred four said reports. it's early morning on a hill above hadrons old city and a group of palestinian activists is on the move their mission they say to a school children safely does go through the city's divided streets but their approach is barred by israeli soldiers the army has declared the area a military exclusion zone off limits to nonresidents the activists say it's to prevent them recording and drawing attention to instances like this filmed a few days earlier when they were confronted by israeli settlers documentation is the most important every day attacks happen here but how can you show them to the word if we go in the future to the i.c.c. and statistics that we have for the future if we're talking about the tech and kids and the un we have to come up with with the statistics until last month such documentation had been the job of observers from the temporary international presence in hebron or to if it's twenty five year presence in the city reporting on violence and human rights violations was brought to an end by the israeli prime

minister who accused the monitors of working against israel tips mission began in the aftermath of the massacre in one thousand nine hundred four of twenty nine palestinian worshipers inside the mosque. whose knee roger b. was praying that day near the front when an american israeli settler opened fire from the back of the room the main thing. i think about it all the time i was tripping over people lying on the floor the dead the wounded calling for help it's an unforgettable tragedy the gunman goldstein was a follower of the far right jewish rabbi and politician merica hanna whose party was banned as racist in the one nine hundred eighty s. now days before the massacre anniversary israeli prime minister has pushed for a current day kahan his party which includes members who celebrate goldstein to form an alliance with one of his own coalition partners the head of april's election a particularly bitter israeli election campaign along with the objection of the monitors makes for a potentially explosive backdrop to friday's demonstrations marking the anniversary

there also to protest against the divided militarized nature of daily life in the part of hebron twenty percent of its area that remains under israeli control this was the commercial hub of hebron old city but since the division the palestinian shops in this market have been shuttered only israeli traffic is allowed to drive down these roads there is a heavy security presence everywhere it's yet another illustration of just how otherworldly the city has become over the last twenty five years it's noted by this group of french muslims on a tour one tells me the checkpoints look like they're for cattle not humans. it's present in a jewish group that came in days earlier under heavy army escort the guide calling the activists in their observer vests terrorist supporters twenty five years since the mosque massacre hebron remains a place of close quarters friction a frequent flashpoint of violence and how it joins us live now from hebron how it's a very poignant event in palestinian history just tell us what's been happening

there today. well yes it is it's something that really marked this city very deeply and as you saw in that report the the aftereffects of that are very much still in place and that is as much as what was being protested against here as it was a commemoration of what happened twenty five years ago there were two protests in fact one from the activists that you saw in that report from the youth against settlement movement the local hebron young activists they were in a group of about twenty or thirty they marched towards the end of this road you can see behind me here where the israeli soldiers are keeping watch in front of a settlement building and they were allowed to approach much closer than they were last year in previous years they prayed in front of the gates barring access to the israeli controlled part of the old city and made speeches and moved on that was followed by another larger protest by the major political factions in the occupied

west bank that was more boisterous noisy or there were. moments where they tried to sort of move the gate or bang against the gate but again no major confrontation in another part of town near another checkpoint entrance some slightly more tense moments but compared to previous years despite the fact that this is the twenty fifth anniversary despite the fact there is all this very dramatic political backdrop going on at the moment the actual protests themselves are passed off remarkably peacefully harry thank you. meanwhile the palestinian worshippers event of the bab al rama golden gate is also known in the al aqsa mosque complex in east jerusalem. the gate serves as one of the entry points for the mosque compound has been closed following and israeli cool to order in two thousand and three as anger over israeli imposed restrictions on access to the compound by

palestinians with bernard smith joins us live now from damascus gate in occupied east jerusalem and further confrontations burnet over the last week over what the palestinians say have been further attempts by israeli security forces to assert control over the mosque compound or what's been happening is that every time the gate has been unlocked by the walk which manages the al aksa compound on behalf of the jordanian royal family the palestinians every time the walk locks the gate or remove the chains the old guard is a put the chains back basically was closed sixteen years ago on a court order because the court said that the group that was using that building was sympathetic will meeting with hamas the watch says now about sixteen years long gold.
