oscars are just a few days away but the biggest night in tinseltown is already shrouded in control over same industry pressure has forced the academy to reverse its decision to award

some prizes in the commercial break rob ronald's has more from hollywood's. oscar night is hollywood's annual celebration of itself but this year the academy of motion pictures the people who decide the winners is already a big loser they seem to be just scrambling they seem to be making it up as they go along i think it makes them look very bad because there's more focus now on the cademy than on the films that are being nominated i mean i think people are going to tune in just to see is this going to be a trainwreck and it almost doesn't matter who wins first the six thousand member academies board voted to add a new category best popular film many saw that as condescending and after an outcry 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 now and they can be really. 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 you audience tastes change. there's also a significant sex scandal involving bohemian rhapsody the film is up for best picture and star rami malek is a best male actor nominee but director bryan singer is being sued by several men

who say he sexually molested them as boys rumors about his alleged activities have circulated in hollywood for years singer was fired but his name is still on the picture you know another embarrassment for the academy the oscars are going to host with this year actor and comedian kevin hart originally had that role but he dropped out after a series of his blatantly homophobic tweets from years past surface and apparently no one else wants the job rob reynolds al-jazeera hollywood it is time for the sports here's fatah. thanks very much india's cricket board are calling for the games the governing body to ban pakistan from the world cup that's taking place in england in june the move comes a week after an attack killed forty indian paramilitary policemen and indian and minister kashmir earlier on friday the international olympic committee suspended all indian applications to host future events that comes after two pakistanis were

the road not this and this is all just here on live from doha also coming up the tense standoff between venezuela's president nicolas maduro and the opposition over eight turns deadly. struggle turns to music with wild concerts imply those side of the venezuela colombia border. it's a surprise every time i see someone else striking and it's if she'll sing credible the swedish school girl takes her climate fight to france and finds hundreds of supporters. ok let's go to our top story and we're just seeing that sudan's president omar al bashir has alley on saturday appointed a new prime minister but has left the country's current defense foreign and justice

ministers in place that's following his declaration of a year long state of emergency the move by almost all bashir follows two months of protests against his thirty year rule global reports. for months people in sudan have been taking to the streets. spock prank. nomic crisis have demanded that the country's president and the al bashir and his decade long rule and step down after seeming to find four weeks on friday president bashir made an announcement that reflected how much the protests have shaken the government or a fight. for in any order they. are to clear the following to impose a state of emergency for one year to dissolve the national unity government to dissolve the provincial governments and we will continue to take measures to implement what i have resolved our country requires us to stand together it demands

us to remain united patient and tolerant i am certain we will be an example to follow. according to says dance constitution a state of emergency would allow security forces to arrest this deemed as a threat to the country and its political and economic stability and need government will be formed which the president says will be working on fixing the economy as it called for dialogue some say his announcements are far from what this has been demonstrating want to see. nothing of the demonstrations are likely to continue in the fans or mysteriously for two reasons they cannot make situation is not going to improve and the demonstrations are basically based on economic hashes so it's not just for him to say calm down his heart out when people are hungry and he can and has not been addressed so the most vicious are likely to continue regardless of the state from agency. al bashir has ruled for nearly three decades

he came to power in a bloodless military coup in one thousand nine hundred nine ever threatening a democratically elected government since twenty twelve anti-government protests grew ever rising costs security forces responded each time using tear gas and live ammunition hundred start the protests that started in december last year have become the longest wave of anti-government demonstrations since the country's independence with a state of emergency declared protests may be harder to sustain and al bashir may have found a way to end the biggest challenge to his presidency barbara and al jazeera. at least two people have been killed after venezuelan security forces opened fire on people trying to cross the border into brazil several others have been injured during the scramble to bring foreign aid into venezuela president nicolas maduro

closed the border on thursday on the colombian side the power struggles become a battle of the bands rival concerts have been held on both sides the want to colombia's been organized by british billionaire richard branson the one that dubbed hands off venezuela has been organized by nicolas maduro the concerts were all about the showdown over foreign aid the opposition is calling saturday d.-day when they hope to transfer that aid into venezuela the country's economic collapse has led to widespread shortages of medicine and food for those doing concerts took place at the same time just a few hundred meters apart venezuelan opposition leader who crossed the border to near the colombian city of cocoa to he sat in the front row for the concert there which supported his cause and featured dozens of latin american stars while on the other side but duros government began staging a three day festival to oppose any u.s. help. we've got reporters on the side of the border between venezuela and columbia

lucy and humans. in venezuela the first let's go to the sounds of impunity in kuta on a sunday just explain to us why it's so significant that the opposition leader has been that concert. well rather was the biggest surprise of a day filled with surprise for the hundreds of thousands of innocent and saying colombe and who had attended this concert it was very significant because nobody was expecting him to do that because crossing into colombia puts him in direct violation of the ban from leaving the country from leaving venezuela which was at the side there by this way less supremum court following at request by the country's attorney general this means that if he goes back into being this way they could now be arrested then and also shows is this respect for the station by the

supreme court and the government. might do it and it's very symbolic happening just one day before and this major act of defiance that the opposition has been promoting for weeks now in which according to white daw merely invidious weapons will participate in creating what they're calling a human chain on all the legal crossings between colombia minutes without brazil and business without to try and move the aid that the food and medicine supplies sand by the united states and now also from achieving and put inside the venezuela it's a major act of defiance in the battle for the legitimacy of power of control of the country it's a battle that's been playing out in many different ways. we're saying earlier today on friday it happened as to doing concerts but also minister in many ways has had

the two presidents of these two people defining themselves as president of the country for over a month now and alexander as we mentioned before the opposition's calling saturday d.-day the day that they're going to bring that aid over i'm guessing that the tension there must be significant as we approach the time. the tension no doubt is growing especially as the people that were at that concert many of them who have crossed from of minnesota into colombian that will spend the night here a tent city has been set up they will be provided with food in a place to sleep in tomorrow and saturday morning participate in this action day many of them are just now discovering that there has been already violence on the border between brazil and colombia as they leave the concert they weren't able to

check their phones there as there was you know a data connection for most of the day because of the sheer amount of people and it's also an area on the border that doesn't have a lot of cell coverage so just finding that and now but everybody seems very energized at least for the people we've talked to by this concert by having seen their musical heroes five year arrival. and they seem quite convinced that tomorrow one way or the other they will be able to move this a in now one very interesting thing that we just heard from the leader of the opposition. is the fact that he was able to cross into colombia because some members of the military let them through if this is true it could be a suggestion that maybe tomorrow at least some parts of the soldiers of the national guard that by this to rebel against president nicolas and i wouldn't let them too we don't know at this point and there's no doubt that there is tension

that will be growing as we get closer to saturday's show showdown asunder just as you've been talking about the opposite opposition leader there i understand we do have some agency pictures these are live from the opposition leader holding that press conference after that concert there obviously as you were talking about there he's been allowed to cross over into the by some of the military upon plea. what do you think is going to happen when he tries to cross by is there any suggestion how the venezuelan government is going to react. but we don't know at this point again he is in violation of a ban issued by the country's supreme court so there have been a swell and government now would have the legal grounds to arrest him we know that he has been also under investigation for weeks now for a number of reasons essentially for the firing the government or. unconstitutional

act on. scene from the point of view of the collapse motivator and his government that we know that many of the venezuelan deputies the national assembly which is controlled by the opposition will be leading the groups of people trying to occupy these breaches in the morning it's a big question if now that since white boys here he will also be in front of this group in a clear act of defiance of the soldiers there the orders of press in the last month do it and i guess we're going to have to wait and see what happens on saturday morning there's no doubt that the what we're seeing here on the part of the venezuelan opposition and the international coalition that's supporting them is that they're continuously raising the stakes for saturday morning and to see just how brazen and my daughter will respond to all these actions on

a sunday for now thank you very much indeed i want to bring in our latin america editor of the soon human shoes and. first of all. the cause of the concert was being held that had been organized by the supporters of the madieu a government give us just a brief outline first of all of how that concert went. yes rob was from the point of view of the number of people that turned out in the enthusiasm of the crowd it was a rather dismal failure i have to say very very few people turned out i would say at the best the busiest time of all throughout the day what they were about fifteen hundred people in all and they didn't stay for very long at all and many of those who did come were bussed in many of them public servants who were here for a roll call and then began leaving shortly after but interestingly enough in the last few hours we have seen large numbers of students and other supporters of the government coming here in buses from got out of cars from lot of state from all

over the country coming here they're going to spend the night on the bridge that you see directly behind me at the very end of this is the stage i don't know if you can see it.
