the u.s. secretary of state says president maduro as they are numbered after venezuelan opposition supporters are killed and injured trying to get aid into the country. you know and barbara sorry you're watching i'll just say we're live from london also coming up on the program pope francis calls priests who abuse children tools of satan but leave survivors this. appointed after his conference the tackle the problem. voting wraps up in senegal where mackey sal is confident of winning a second term as president after banning his biggest rivals from running plus. it was a surprise winner of the golden globes but can bohemian rhapsody take best film at an oscar is already rocked by controversy.

thank you for joining us we begin the program with the crisis in venezuela and the u.s. secretary of state michael same president nicolas windows days are numbered this as opposition leader calls on the international community to keep all options open following saturday's violent border clashes over american aid efforts to get supplies into the country the send it into violence between forces loyal to president maduro and opposition activists at least two people were killed in clashes near the brazilian border and around three hundred others were injured well colombia says one hundred four of us troops have now defected to the opposition its president even met some of them while he visited the venezuelan border to survey the damage he's ordered the crossing between the countries be closed to forty eight hours he also called for diplomacy efforts against were due to be stepped up referencing the. group which is due to meet on monday.

i think the believe the group need to make a clear statement on what we have seen i think the international community has an obligation to take a diplomatic approach because mature as a dictator who is able to burn medicine for the people with such brutality just to keep himself in power. well it's. the reason kuku tallon the colombian side of this believe our border bridge the border there would venezuela understand that you've actually just heard gunshots fired there from what you can see what seems to be happening. well barbara it was a very call morning and then things just started to get complicated just minutes ago as a number of young men from what we were able to gather reached the finish well inside of the border where

a truck is mary-kate to the bridge and they started to dismantle this truck trying it down to other people and they were hoping to use these pieces and sell them as scrap metal and they were confronted by a. national guardsman who started throwing. gas tear gas at them and also by armed the civilians allegedly part of the he was these paramilitary gangs in support of the government of president nicolas maduro and we heard at least a gunshot. just minutes ago and we understand that one person is wounded and the colombian police here is trying to see if they can do anything or if the volunteers can move them on the colombian side and see what's happening with him so scuffles have just started and that seems to be the reason for them

i guess this really just symbolizes that we are in an impasse that the situation is in progress in one way or another the aid didn't go through on saturday as the opposition leader and you know recognized by some countries as the new leader all of venezuela why do it said the aid would do so what is the opposition expected to do next. there's no doubt barbara that this situation remains extremely volatile here also the border bridges are closed a lot of people on the venezuelan side the pend on being able to cross into colombia to make a living to find food and maybe things that they can find a back home this increases tensions of course we know that the border will remain closed on the colombian side for at least another couple of days when it's well as i said that they will remain closed indefinitely at least for now and they also

broke all diplomatic relationships with the colombia so this is already having good consequences here. the question on everybody's mind is what will be the next step for the opposition now that they failed to move at the aid in the answer is that we don't know and most likely they also don't know this meeting on monday in the colombian coffee so bogus that will be extremely important we've heard from the president of colombia even duke and also from the leader of the finnish went on opposition himself one way though who's already in bogota and we understand that they're going to ask the countries that support the white door to harden their stance diplomatically and also to consider more sanctions and.
