all cards on the table i'll be meeting on monday with the lima group and u.s. vice president mike pence. sounded triumphant president nicolas maduro announced he was cutting diplomatic ties between colombia. i can't continue putting up with this we can continue putting up with colombia looting itself to aggression against bin as well and that is why i've decided to break the political diplomatic relations with the freshest government of colombia and all its investors in general consuls have to leave it as well with a twenty four hours to get out of here only cocky but my little will unlikely be savoring his victory for very long economic and political pressure from the international community will surely increase as his countrymen watch the images of the food and medicine so many desperately need go up in smoke. see in human san antonio actually have a nice way. tons of aid are stockpiled and cooked on the colombian side of the

border from there he has more it's been a long day of fighting here on the scene on believer bridge as the volunteers the supporters of the minutes while an opposition try to move the aid sent by the united states inside the venezuela but there were confronted by rubber bullets by tear gas thrown by the troops still loyal to president nicole last month and by the collective was the paramilitaries that are the friending the government the president of venezuela the protesters were full of optimistic energy in the morning as the four trucks loaded with arrived but the mood changed it became increasingly more sour as the fighting continued and people here truly became visibly pointed and even angry as their leadership decided to send the truck back to the warehouse where there had been support for many days even so people told us

they want to continue fighting. if we have to die of hunger in venice we look it's better to die fighting we can't stop we need to continue for our families despite the disappointment there also have been a number of factions on part of the venezuelan the military but it wasn't enough to open this bridge or the other ones along the colombian venice well on the border and the question here on everybody's mind though is what will be the next move now that this plan of the opposition has failed some of us president is banking on a booming economy to sleep back into another term. just opened in the west african nation opposition candidates are focusing on poverty and unemployment which they say are pushing people to seek a better life. reports from the capital to. senegal rising prosperous educated and with

a booming economy it's this vision that president is promoting to get reelected i know i am the candidate of continuity and progress the one that will bring prosperity to all senegalese. during his time in office new company registrations tripled among them is impact to car incubate or for start ups but i think it's a great time for youngsters was really to take a member of risks because very little things at least in my field an intrapreneur lot of things that are here now going to appear before inauguration after the others is changing the capitals landscape promoting a narrative of a rising senegal. just a few kilometers away from downtown the car is a two billion dollar construction site it's called genuine president. wants to turn this into a silicon valley for west africa but if you travel away from the cranes and building sites there's another senate with

a different narrative. this is. two hundred kilometers from the car and there are villages with no running water electricity or hospitals children suffer from malnutrition you sick out walked away from this life traveling across the mediterranean into europe with the hope to find better opportunities but he's come back empty handed there are no jobs here no opportunities at least not for us it's as if we don't exist and we don't count unless it's election time it was one of the most senegalese sinking in debt riddled with corruption and unemployment this is the narrative shared by the four opposition candidates among them political newcomer anti-establishment loose months. you get when you're going to do. this it must all titians understand nothing because this country's huge have decided to take responsibility and to take their destiny into their own hands fifty nine years of lies and betrayal we have enough. with conflicting narratives to

choose from it's now up to the six million voters to decide which one rings true and which senegal to vote for. joins us live now from dakar so what has the turnout and been like where you are nic. oversell i'm in the medina district we're just a stone's throw away from the presidential palace and this is really a stronghold for the popular former mayor of the car khalifa sol and he wanted to run in this election but he's in prison sentence for corruption charges he was one of the main rivals of president might he sell not just a few weeks ago in the middle of the campaign the former president of senegal abdul i want at the age of ninety two came back to the country and he received really a popstars welcome he asked for voters to boycott this election even

asking them to burn their ballot papers why well because his son karim ward was also a candidate was not allowed to run in this election both of them and many in the opposition accuse the monkey cell of clamping down of using the courts to clamp down on the opposition ahead of this presidential ballot but despite all these calls i mean we've seen since this morning early on since six o'clock in the morning people lining up queuing up for hours to get a chance to get their voices heard and so it seems that despite these calls from the opposition the cynical use have come on mass to express themselves that doesn't mean that they necessarily will vote for monkey cell but it just shows the the strength of the democracy in this country richelle so as same as that as in a good position to know when again the other candidates they have messages as well how are they challenging. well mikey

seems to be very confident when he goes on stage we followed him just a week ago on the campaign trail and he was really promoting his achievements one of his campaign slogan is i've built two hundred twenty three kilometers of highway he's been opening up one infrastructure project after another in a new era ports a new train line. but despite this economic success people from civil society and human rights groups accuse him of shrinking the political space for the opposition and that's really something that rival candidates have kind of tailored down and taken it in their count pain one of the main opposition candidate has made good governance his key issue in the campaign there's the newcomer the former tax man and whistleblower. he accuses mikey

cell of personally profiting from the recent oil and gas discovery an estimated fifty billion dollars worth of oil and gas was discovered off the coast of senegal and the other candidates are really focused on poverty and inequality because in senegal many still live with no electricity no running water and is dependent on foreign aid these are all these themes that will influence voters have come now in numbers to get their voices heard. thank you as the fourth and final day of the first ever conference on sex abuse scandal within the catholic church francis is currently holding mass as expected to speak on the subject some one hundred ninety religious leaders to vatican city this week to address the ongoing fallout from the scandal on saturday the pope led a prayer for those abused by catholic clergy men over the years. 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 our selves and this requires to look sincerely at our own actions and situations which have taken place in our countries. our challenge is live from bad considering so read that the people that his opinion should matter the most about this are the victims that have been through this are they satisfied with what they've seen or are they they feel it's lacking. so far they're not satisfied no i think they are going to be looking towards the pope and what he says in his concluding remarks after he's finished giving eucharist inside the vatican. going into this events the pope was trying to play expectations down he was saying that yes there needed to be concrete action but let's not expect too much out of this meeting because this is basically the start

of a process once this finishes there are going to be further consultations further meetings it is an ongoing process this is not the destination this is a step in the road but it's victims who have been encouraged by the language of they have heard from the pope previously talking about zero tolerance are concerns that that language has been dropped from what he said and dropped from the documentation that has been coming out of this meeting so far so i think they will be listening closely so what pope francis says at the end of the meeting in an hour or so is time to see whether any of that language has come back whether he is going to be strong in his condemnation for the abuse that has gone on for years and strong in the his advocacy his pledging for concrete action going forward that's

what they're going to be listening for ok ryan collins live for us and vatican city rory thank you. so ahead on al-jazeera. it's going up for auction the children sending their own message on tension between pakistan and india. about a japanese island which could force a u.s. military base to relocate after decades. out of this currently a typhoon it's gone very close to guam it's really on the screen you may not even see it but it's taken much of the energy away from this whole area so in the philippines back to vietnam in thailand there's nothing in the sky apart from mostly blue but in morning puffy cloud maybe the significant shows have been fed

assess for a while now and they're still there running from west papua through sun away sea to sudden borneo and beyond to sumatra every now and again we might get a shower as far north as singapore and certainly looking cloud in this general area but there aren't that many shots which is correct really what's not correct is that stood out that he shows in the old nostril you yes has been flooding in the finals of queensland but that was months ago is virtually nothing now daily shows do show themselves and it's been particularly warm in both cannes and darwin and it still is the coast of queensland has been affected by the remains of what you can no longer see of course auckland so the swell is up the the waves are up thirty people been rescued so far there's a warning still on this coast inland it's been pretty was still woman adelaide but melbourne seas attempts to drop to twenty four the same is true as tasmania as the wind changes whereas in perth it's still hot thirty four.

doodle step down as soon as possible next remember the direct or rather the warning of the trumpet ministration alongside it some republican legislators said that today was the day that the military will relinquish power and will or they will shift the order they should leave much. 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 the 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 he's ultimately goal a senior negotiator appointed by donald trump is on his way to the middle east to

committed to the progress of women and bit by bit things are going to get better and that it's very i think prominent individuals who knows the united states very well who was well spoken and can do probably good for her country but of course the way it's received this probably one of a p.r. exercise an attempt to deflect attention away from a very tumultuous year after the murder of jamal khashoggi and certainly a lot of continued criticism of the saudis and their warn yemen and other policies within washington and of course beyond really she's very eloquent she certainly understands the united states very well she's lived there for a very long time of course her father was the ambassador prior and so she very much americanize for lack of a better term probably understands the culture knows how to be a valuable interlocutor all the things you want and a good diplomat particularly in a post like the united states but of course i think there are many people who will see this totally for a p.r. exercise i have no doubt that the saudis want this to be a p.r.

exercise they need good p.r. frankly but make no mistake she is very successful eloquent and is deserving of the job kind of leader as honestly to vietnam for a second son met with us president and full of kim jong un and travel most of the way to hanoi by train he said to meet donald trump there on wednesday talks are expected to focus on denuclearization efforts on the korean peninsula from my pride has more from south korea's capital seoul. confirmation that this epic journey is now underway has come from the north koreans themselves the state run news agency releasing photographs and also video of kim jong un inspecting a guard of honor in pyongyang before departing on his a specially armored train with his delegation which includes can young child his chief negotiator interestingly this is the first indication that anyone in north korea has that there is a summit in the offing we have known of course for the past couple of weeks that it

would be. the date of this a trump summit there has been no such indication until now for north koreans interestingly it is also being reported as he leaves north korea in the past given the obsession with secrecy and security north korean leaders might have been expected to conduct a foreign trip return to pyongyang safely before even letting go of koreans know a trip like this has taken place so it does seem to indicate a growing confidence by kim jong un as he starts his latest diplomatic farai we know from restrictions put in place all rail networks in the south of china that his train will likely go all the way to the border with viet nam and then road restrictions in viet nam that have been put in place seem to confirm that he will then take a motorcade from the border to hanoi itself to begin this trip. votes are being
