happening on both borders with colombia and brazil how's it been playing out politically for both men. while time is of the essence here the opposition and ensured national community that is rylan rally behind one will like to see mother little step down as soon as possible next remember the director or rather the warning to the trumpet ministration alongside of some republican legislators said that today was the day that the military will relinquish power and will or they will show that they should leave much too little to his own devices however we haven't seen that yet i mean we've seen some defectors crossing the colombia venezuela border but here we're seeing that the model is still in power does the top brass of the military still supports majority and we haven't seen that change that some of the opposition and the international

community wants to see so right now what model what is to really gain some time so that he could just stay in power which is basically his ultimate goal robert let me ask you a little bit more about the military we did see some military defections today are we likely to see more. of course we definitely want to see more i mean and we're seeing a slow change for example but we have got about who was the director of the national intelligence i mean attorney television even israel and he tweeted he's soup or for one while you know and now we're still seeing other people like that he needed you know and other people who are part of the top. the top military commanders you will now we haven't seen this yet and there's a reason for the fact that we haven't the sanctions that the united states imposed on for this really haven't taken effect yet so if it's all about time now the

sanctions against up p.b.s. say the state of our own oil company and the sanctions against some of the people who are surrounding muslim world might take effect in the next two months some experts are saying that we will not see a change in the government to within the next three months or so well but let me ask you about the deaths that we've been saying because they were there were deaths on both sides of of the country and i'm curious about how this is playing out amongst the public is the opposition getting more support because of the crackdown by the military. absolutely i believe here in brazil for example we have seen images in the state orion mosque which is located in the northern part of brazil and some of the humanitarian aid that the bolt from our government and that remains it's still stalled in the by this well of brazil border and so obviously these images bring and to get more support for the opposition now what experts have said

so far this is people that i have that have been able to consult is that the opposition needs to keep gaining momentum they need to make more announcements more legislation proposals so that the international community will exit or no more power over my doable now i think ultimately what we all won and what the international community one is to see fair and free elections i think that is the croc's of the problem that we're seeing right now however it's not going to be easy this is going to take more time and this is exactly what mother is trying to do he's trying to save some time or gain more time interval him to remain in power but the point here is that while you go as the interim president wants to call for free and fair elections but it remains to be seen whether the whether the whether the government or the regime wants to see that happening well that he says you don't

see this regime any kind of resignation says several months potentially and your mind what happens next. it is pretty hard to see i think what we all once we once were avoid definitely is more bloodshed i think we're seeing you know three casualties already that's that's by far a lot and what we're seeing in these protests in past years is that the number or did the death toll amounts to one hundred or more i think what everybody wants to avoid is it's a bloodshed i don't know if it will go all that easily and the thing that as i mentioned earlier the crux of this problem is free and fair elections now it will be very hard to see fair elections and their models launch because of this just really not happening he has control over the electoral college or diversion of the electoral college to venezuela so he's not going to go out that easily as we think or not have as the international committee want to see you know rather than

a specialist and asking america thanks for being with us and outta there. yes he is in kuta on the colombian side of the border. there was a trying to be brought across that border where is this and what happens to it now . well there were four trucks that i arrived here in the morning and people were for the museum and energy they were convinced that they would have been able to move the aid inside. that has not happened because they've been met with violence on part of. the troops that remain loyal to president. and. sort of paramilitary groups these are civilians that supports president nicolas maduro the fighting continued on the bridge throughout the day and there is still some activity going on at some one

point the organizers decided to move the trucks to back the trucks from the bridge and they've been sent back through another bridge to the bridge that's where the warehouse where the a has been stored for four days and we understand that the trucks are now being loaded this has brought a lot of disappointment and even anger among the people that were fighting of the bridge many wanted the trucks to remain here throughout the night to continue the fighting to try and move this a. venezuela we've seen a lot of sour faces here. the opposition members as well as they started just discussing what the next move could be now that first try moving the side been a field pretty much everywhere along the. border and it's under remind us about

what the aid trucks actually contain and what kind of impact this might be likely to have on the crisis on the other side. well they contain food and medical supplies mostly by the united states usaid some of it been bought here in. the u.s. government says that this could help twenty thousand families for two months and that's. really not enough to deal with the humanitarian crisis inside venezuela. there's no doubt that this is a extremely neither the inside of the country but it's also true that this is also very much a political standoff a battle for. the power inside the business well of between two people

who are the term in defining themselves president one is a president. who won elections there many international. legitimacy and the other one is. who proclaimed himself into being president now a month ago and was recognized as such first by the united states and in time by another forty countries so has a lot of international recognition but doesn't move any level of power inside this well inside this country and that's why from the opposition point of view moving. in this way what was so important because it would have been a major political win which so far hasn't really happened. on the colombian side of the border thank you. latin america anderson you see a new man is in san antonio on the venezuelan side of the border he took us through how events unfolded today way you are. i learned

a starter when it began with violence from the get go when members of the opposition tried to breach the bridges the four bridges that gold from venezuela into colombia to try to bring that food and medicine back into the country there were also venezuelans on the colombian side trying to do the same thing and you've already heard from alexandra what happens on this side of bridge perhaps the simone believe bridge there were more than six hundred opposition members led by deputies from the national assembly and the governor of the actually that state that tried to ram into this bridge to the bridge and they just couldn't make it they were met with tear gas rubber bullets they kept going back and forth they were playing tag and mouse with the national guard and suddenly then they call it the loss the armed groups that support president nicolas maduro came out every gun shooting live ammunition no longer just rubber bullets and tear gas but live ammunition in the

crowd and dispersed them we don't know how many people were injured or if any have been killed there hasn't been confirmed yet but we know of at least seven people who received bullet wounds i saw one person going by that appeared to have a bullet wound to the head so it became. and eventually the opposition decided to move away and they haven't been able to do it so very very disappointing for them of course but keep in mind that why dog had said before this began then they couldn't get the food and medicine in on the twenty third of february they would do it on the twenty fourth on the twenty fifth so it's not one hundred percent clear yet that they have given up this is their concern that the clashes may continue they may be more violence tomorrow. i could be if the opposition continues its attempts to try to breach the bridge and to bring this to this these supplies rather into the country remember there are

other ways to get it in not first is the bridge by car by truck and they said they would try to bring it into human caravan by hand but they're also illegal border crossings all along the border between colombia and venezuela here in touch with us state so there is a possibility that they may start trying to bring it in little by little by doing that but again these call it people who are out on the streets they're out there right now just near where we are where we are they've blocked most of the main roads that connect one part of the city to the other especially one bridge to the other and so it's going to be very tough that was the last american to say you see in human and on the venezuelan side of the border thank you sia now let's speak to mohammed gendron who's live from packer run in brazil near the venezuelan border mohammed there have been reports of deaths near way you are today what's happening now we're seeing lots of lights. well that's

a let me just recap what we've seen in the last ninety minutes it got extremely tense here on the brazil's border with venezuela you had a situation where there were venezuelan migrants that were throwing rocks at venezuelan security forces venezuelan security forces we were told before that had tear gas canisters at those going israel and migrants and at one point we even saw them as well and security forces come up over one of the hills on the border and throw rocks back at those venezuela migrants as i said it was extremely chaotic we saw several people injured many of them carried away towards the brazil side now the brazilian army they have cleared the border you see the border that's behind me you see a one of those military trucks with the lights flashing and there are also military men that are standing at attention making sure that nobody approaches the crossing point throughout the day it was a much different mood it's calm right now earlier in the day it was calm as well you had many migrants that were there right on the border they had cheered when two

trucks that had boxes on them and venezuelan license plates crossed from brazil to venezuela it didn't go that far only a few feet into the venezuelan border in this no man's land area the truck stop some of the aid was distributed the migrants that were there were clapping and cheering and many of them chanting for the downfall of venezuelan president nicolas maduro for his ouster so that was a a very different kind of vibe earlier in the day and things then started to get a little bit more serious when more of the migrants from venezuela were crossing into here and giving us really horrific tales about what they were seeing especially in the venezuelan border town of santa ana they were telling us that the clashes that are going on there between venezuelans and venezuela's military and indigenous groups that are aligning themselves with venezuela as opposition those clashes which started yesterday they have can. many of the people that came in and

spoke with us said that they had heard that more people had died in that town although they could not confirm that we know that there were many more people that were injured today and that they were brought in by ambulance we saw those ambulances crossings about the day here into brazil they will be taken to a nearby hospital for treatment the hospital told us that in fact there were seventeen of those people that were now being treated many of them in critical condition so a lot going on the question right now is what exactly is going to happen with the overall plan of aid distribution you know the last few days brazilian officials had really seemed to put forth a plan that sounded pretty simple they were saying to us that there was going to be a convoy possibly made up of brazilian the military vehicles bringing aid to the border dropping it off and then of in israel and opposition convoy would come in pick up that aid and take it back into venezuela distributed now we knew leading up to this it was not going to be that simple and clearly that's really what's been borne out today a lot of complications you still have venezuelan military men that are blocking

their border with brazil cars cannot pass that we don't yet know if there's more aid that's going to come up here tomorrow or the next day to try to distribute medical aid and food stuffs to the people that need it so much but i should remind our viewers also that this border is quite vast and quite porous and so even though that official crossing from venezuela into brazil is closed many of the migrants hundreds of them today crossed over by going around the hills through the brush and coming into brazil then getting treatment from brazilian military men and women so it's a complicated situation and also i spoke with a u.s. state department official who was here on the border observing today saying that they had more aid in warehouses in other parts of brazil that they wanted to get to the border but at the moment they are observing to see what happens to see how the situation will continue when if and how they will be able to get that aid into venezuela hours as there is one hundred times. thank you for that update.

well there's plenty more hairs on this news alan curating putting on a show for the prosperous image being portrayed by senegal's president as he seeks reelection and. hearing their voices still aren't being heard we need people outside of vatican meeting on sexual abuse. and a line alessi rescues barcelona reaching a career milestone in the process will have the details and support. saudi arabia has replaced its ambassador to the united states with its fast female envoy princess reimagined banda takes over from the king son prince khaled bin salam who's been appointed a vice defense minister the princess is the daughter of a former ambassador to the u.s. and previously worked for saudi arabia's general sports authority promoting women's participation in the olympics richard murphy is a former u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia and he joins us now via skype from new york richard what

does this appointment tell us about how riyadh wants to be viewed by washington and the world military. overtures to what point to. remember. she. should. know who father was. she was who served in the eighty's. and ninety's. so. it's some doing to washington some will. culture. and from respect to the rule. it's a good decision and in terms of her being a woman what does that say about how saudi arabia wants to portray itself. well it's

a clear signal to the kingdom is to go in and plan an extensive changes social needs not only changes. and she shews a symbol of the change she had a career in private business. and then with the government in the sports authority where she loses commentators. sponsoring women's saudi women in the olympics which a few years ago would have been unthinkable but. she's a symbol of a new approach. to. its leadership well it went to that miata about the outgoing and basso that had been found has been facing mounting criticism since then that afghanistan and now he's been taken back to riyadh and fame in a process i don't see any

necessary connection between the show gave case prince credit to return to. the only mention. of the prince credit in. the american press after the. murder was that he had been in touch with the shogi at some point. which was not surprised to have to show he was a commentator not just a saudi citizen but a commentator for the washington post weighed in a logical connection which it can any of these moves be taken seriously as this is this riyadh really trying to send a signal or is this just diplomatic dealing in terms of what the prince remembers let's remember that point in terms of by hate.

i think this is significant it's easier to see we're all. all of a new all who saudi woman. i least symbolic ruling. there is an example who is knowledgeable well for a. child who. is in washington and the. fact that two she grew up in an extremely gifted believe. his words were just so for richard murphy a former u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia thank you for being with us on al-jazeera. well two sisters here fled from saudi arabia to escape beatings from their father and brother say they fear prison or death if they return to the kingdom the women aged eighteen and twenty have been in hong kong for the past six months after saudi officials prevented them traveling on to

a stray liya they say the matter of saudi journalist to mark a shock she has left them even more fearful for their lives even while overseas. if the government. and want to charge us of what we did. best case scenario that who will be present and forever because the women in saudi arabia can't go out the prison unless with a male. the worst case scenario if they do that we left religion will be excused. i afraid that i will. be kidnapped again from the saudi consulate and they already tried ones and i believe that they're. looking for us right now. because they and the fact that they invalidated our past bars and what have them with a hushed painter came makes our fears increased all koreas. vote counting is

underway in nigeria after saturday's presidential election incumbent president. seeking a second term and what's thought to be a tight race with former vice president of. the electoral commission extended voting hours in some places where polling stations opened late or ballot machines malfunctioned. from nigeria's commercial capital lagos. many nigerians are watching election officials closely these voters in the commercial capital lagos say they want to make sure there's no rigging last tuesday has cast doubts on the editor commission's credibility and competence. in long. distance from the race to govern the country with africa's biggest economy pits incumbent president. against main opposition candidates and former vice president

as a backer emotions are high. speed result could lead to violence although there were delays in parts of nigeria election officials say they generally happy with the turnout managers have to wait to find out who has won and by what margin analysts say it's going to be a tight race. early on saturday there were attacks in the north east of the country blamed on boko haram fighters but there didn't seem to deter the voters in rivers state in the south incidents of violence i mean some people weren't able to vote whoever wins in nigeria will have to deal with the precarious security situation and the challenge a turnaround in economy struggling to recover from the twenty sixteen recession how to meet us algis or lagos robin saunders is the former u.s. ambassador to nigeria and she joins us now via skype from washington dr saunders thanks for being with us given the first part of this election how do you think it's all gone today. actually i think it's gone surprisingly well at least with the

voter turnout i had fears earlier in the week like many nigeria watchers and nigerian voters that you would have a large turnout and that seems to have happened which is a good thing there are mixed reviews in terms of logistics still in terms of some polling places opening late some of the election officials not arriving on time at polling places so there's still some logistical issues i think i know will have to work out but i think the voter turnout gives me great hope that the process at least thus far has gone reasonably well given the postponement there have also been incidents of violence in various parts of the country what impact if any has had on today's vote i think you have after when you talk about violence and security you have to be kind of broader than just the northeast the biggest issues of the day

have been in the northeast but also in the south in states like rivers state or you know and in. so it's not just limited even though the security issues might be different security issues in the northeast you're right. conflicts were there but in the south of where we've seen some of the challenges with security in the election it's really been by young gangs and have gone in to try to either take ballot boxes or election materials etc but those have been limited to about twenty or sixteen to twenty are so polling places and so keep in mind you have one hundred seventy six thousand polling places in the in nigeria so when you do the numbers i think that the peace in this election and the voter turnout will probably outweigh those challenges. the incumbent president seems very confident of victory but it could well be a quite a close count what in your mind of the greatest challenges for whoever wins. we've

all talked about this here those of us who watched very closely of how close is the election was going to be and that the political challenges in rhetoric would be quite high but none of that changes one of the challenges that the country faces at the top of my list of course is always job creation because you have about forty two million plus registered voters who are below the age of thirty five in fourteen million of those are new voters a population writ large you have about seventy two million young people and they need educational opportunities they need good health system and they need to be able to take care of themselves and their families you've got energy challenges of course and power challenges in the area and they have been there over the last decade as well so those challenges will be faced by whoever wins the election and most notably i would say that dressing the needs and wants in these are the young

ninety and has really got to be at the top of everybody's list and as a former u.s. ambassador to the country do you think the outcome of this election might change that various relationship with the united states or with other global powers. i think we have to wait till exactly what ends up being the end result we've got a long way to go there are still some voters better still voting some polling stations that are still open we don't know whether the results will be announced late tomorrow or even the next day at this point but i think in terms of the u.s. and your relations you know we see nigeria as a as a major partner across the board there's a little bit more emphasis in this administration on the security framework of that relationship but overall nigeria is a big partner and friend of the united states and we see nine here and they'll same light i think that for the summary in the west africa some region nigeria is always going to be the big player population the biggest economy even though it has

a chance allen does that i already talked about so i think whoever wins the election has to not only manage the u.s. nigeria relations but also its role in this region and the continent really large and as i said the problems that we talked about health education food security job creation all of those are going to be there from who for whoever wins the election rather than sound as a former u.s. ambassador to nigeria thank you for your insights my pleasure you know. still ahead on al-jazeera. scoring up to action the children sending their own message on tension between pakistan and india. and in sports a dramatic day of cricket in the caribbean and what have all the action coming up later. thanks.

to do with these untapped resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of the days looking forward to full drive like this one five years on the syrians still feel for even those who managed to escape their countries have been truly unable to escape the world. hello again i'm. reminded of the news this hour venezuelans trying to bring aid across the border from colombia facing violent opposition from security forces at

least two people have been killed in the clashes that on the border with brazil as police try to block the aid president nicolas maduro has closed numerous border crossings. saudi arabia has replaced it some bastard of the u.s. with its fast female envoy princess remember takes over from the king's son prince . been appointed vice defense minister. the vote counting has begun in nigeria's presidential election several polling stations stayed open longer to deal with long lines of people wanting to cost their ballots president rouhani is facing seventy of the candidates. more now on our top story the crisis in venezuela he is gabriel and is under. the four trucks carrying u.s. aid were trying to cross the bridge separating venezuela and colombia then one was set on fire. the opposition said it was set ablaze by the venezuelan soldiers but the government says the opposition did it to pin the blame on

president nicolas maduro one incident and a day of confusion and violence. in venezuela there were clashes between supporters of opposition leader one and security forces several people were injured . earlier venezuelan soldiers commandeered armored personnel carriers and ran them through their own barricades the ship and set up to prevent the u.s. aid from coming and four soldiers then ran across the border and defected and. watched events from the colombian side of the border he urged soldiers to defect in mass. a call on the armed forces a very clear welcome to the right side of history welcome to those soldiers who today sided with the constitution but it didn't happen. in the capital. and in bold and will save. i can't continue putting up with this we can

continue putting up with colombia lending itself to an aggression against bin as well and that is why i have decided to break all political and diplomatic relations with the fascist government of colombia and all its ambassadors and general consuls have to leave venezuela within twenty four hour as get out of here oligarchy. on the border with brazil the violence turned deadly as campaigners tried to get aid and there's fear and anger on both sides and no clear path to peace. al-jazeera. new concerns about the catholic church's commitment to ending sexual abuse have surfaced as a missing in vatican city some victims wonder if church politics is getting in the way of real change on the third day of the missing pipe francis called for more action against abuse him accused we asked each other how we can act responsibly which steps we should take to face the future with

a renewed courage should we say as the prodigal son did father i have sinned we need to examine where necessary concrete actions for local churches for the members of the episcopal conferences for ourselves and this requires to look sincerely at our own actions and it situations which have taken place in our countries. chalons has more from. one arch bishops and cardinals talk in the vatican sexual abuse survivors have staged events like this and repeated that among zero tolerance throwing abusive priests and those that cover up for them out of the priesthood but a founder of the group and entire g. abuse is church politics might be getting in the way of something pope francis himself has previously called for two thirds of the bishops that are meeting there from the developing world mainly africa and asia and they are denying over minimizing the issue and they do not want a law on the books i asked liberia's mohseni

a bishop whether african and asian clergy supported zero tolerance to show that we do we ought to yes but we have to define what zero tolerance means and i want to meet well we. we would have to decide. zero tolerance means zero tolerance you know we stay discussing that you know more rigid it's easy if you don't is zero tolerance mean one is means of the crimean getting. getting a present of to preach to or whatever we have to definitely say that beyond bishop of luxemburg says regardless of where they come from most clarity do you want zero tolerance but acknowledges some differences exist it's a little bit more difficult for other cultures where people are confronted to other real problems. child soldiers. countries design wall why women
