it was dropped then the academy decided that awards for essential movie making crafts like cinematography editing hair and makeup would be given out in commercial breaks not during the main broadcast again an uproar and sued from those artists and their supporters the academy back down and now all awards will be given out in the live broadcast why is the academy tinkering with the show i mean everything in hollywood is about money and ego and the cademy gets most of its money from selling the show to a.b.c. television network and the academy really depends on that money but the ratings have been going down the oscars first started airing on t.v. in one thousand fifty three. and it's basically the same format now as one was then and now in the twenty first century the audience tastes have changed. there's also

one. with. 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 nicholas my little jewel to get under way 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 or the. 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 cool. and say they're preparing to confront the armed forces to bring food and medicine back into than israel on saturday when why the all gives the word . we know the government has blocked the br. with containers but we're here to make

it possible to bring in that humanitarian aid by whatever means necessary. says he'll be bringing the supplies across four bridges here in patchy da as well as two 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. and brazil's vice president has told al-jazeera his country will help but it won't cross the line we're not going to spend a border ok when we can do we can put supplies on the border in a forgiven as well as want they can come and get it but i don't think this will work ok because. you see from until the river 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 poor supplies ok i think that the main points for g.'s humanitarian aid would be the ports and the border which colombia. june has been following events from brazil since the border with venezuela was shut and sent this report. 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 the 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 northern 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 are 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 palestinians across the west bank gathering to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the ibrahimi mosque massacre in hebron twenty nine wish it was what killed on a far right israeli settler opened fire inside the mosque honest in hebron say

strict israeli government rules imposed after the massacre keep them from their homes and businesses and the full set of homes. 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 to school to 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 worshippers inside the ibrahimi mosque. was praying that day near the front when an american israeli settler opened fire from the back of the room. where i think about it all the time i was chipping 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. 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 every word so 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 or force it out zero hebron in the occupied west bank palestinian worshippers of enter the golden gate as it's known in the al aqsa

mosque complex in east jerusalem. of the i gate serves as one of the entry points to the mosque compound that has been closed since an israeli court order in two thousand and three as anger over israeli imposed restrictions on access to the compound. now dozens of trucks are moving out men women and children from eyesores last in syria about a thousand people have been rescued in the eastern village of bad news but the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces say thousands more still remain trapped it's believed they're being used as human shields the s.d.f. is hoping to carry out a full evacuation later on friday before launching their final push to defeat eisel women car joins us live now from istanbul in mansour ports the evacuations of civilians from bargirls has now resumed what more do we know. well we know that there was a very confident statement from the syrian democratic forces spokesman most of the

bali on friday morning he said he was hopeful that all of the civilians well would be able to leave however we're now hearing the only about a thousand civilians have managed to leave we're not sure whether. amongst the number well as we've seen in recent days now the very beginning of this operation we are being told by the forces that there were at least six thousand civilians within the village itself it seems that they have actually evacuated six thousand civilians over the last two weeks given the numbers that they've been telling us but now we're hearing that there may be up to three thousand more civilians in the village itself so information on the civilians it's been very difficult to actually get the numbers all over the place however what we do know is that they are sending in trucks people are getting on those trucks so they are getting out the s.d.f. will not go into the village until all of those civilians have been taken to safety now what happens is the civilians actually taken to a camp. that's where the women and children. in

a separate part of that camp civilians are in that camp any ice will fly to get taken to a prison to be detained and interrogated and that prison is in s.t.'s territory just briefly what's the latest with the fighting on the ground as they try and weed out the last. well the fighting on the ground has actually come to a standstill i have to say the village is almost completely destroyed but i still fight as of now in this fight has been coming for a very long time they've dug tunnels underneath the village and that's likely to be where they mount any kind of assault on forces when they eventually do come into the village now we're hearing there's only a few hundred hardcore fighters left and all of the ice will probably go into that we've been saying suggest that these fights is going to fight to the death. thank you. u.s. president donald trump has pulled back from plans for a complete withdrawal of troops from syria the white house says it will keep what it described as

a peacekeeping force of two hundred troops on the ground donald trump has been under pressure from advisers and allies since the.
