2:03 am
with the dictatorship so public workers are obliged to cooperate ever again no be forced to do anything listen carefully we're headed towards a tiered strike of the public administration proposed by the union we know that threats will come we know that the persecution will begin. has more from cook a tad that's near the colombia venezuela border. venezuelan opposition leader who met with public sector workers and union leaders in get access today this meeting was much anticipated very high on the agenda for one it's important strategically for venezuela's opposition to meet with public sector workers because this is a group that would otherwise be politically very much on the side for lack of a better term of president nicolas maduro so strategically this is an effort to win over the support of union leaders a few of the main points that were made during that meeting between one by bill and public workers were the public workers asking why go to secure legislation that
2:04 am
could guarantee that they would not lose their jobs in the event of of a transitional government another point from the from the side of mr is calling for a national census to get an idea of exactly how many public circuit service workers there are in venezuela and lastly to continue with that momentum to continue with that pressure against the government of nicolas mother who he's calling on public sector workers to hold a national strike to to really continue that pressure against the government now converse lee on the other side of town in fact in the place where the former president of venezuela hugo chavez his remains were laid to rest you coalesce mother little commemorated the death of hugo chavez six years ago he was speaking to military officials and finally after several days of silence not. making any sort of mention to the news that one guy deal had finally returned to venezuela after a tour of several south american countries mr nicholas modo did call the opposition
2:05 am
a bitter minority against his government and he was calling for his own protests calling for what he referred to as a quote anti-imperialist march on march ninth that saturday march ninth this is interesting because it's the same day that one is calling for even more anti-government demonstrations to take place and get access to as soon as this weekend we could see that power struggle between these two men nicolas mother widow and opposition leader one by bill play out on the streets of caracas. now a lot has changed in venezuela since the death of a child this in twenty thirteen then i'll try my takes a look at as the effect of his legacy on the current crisis. charities more is dead the opposition in venezuela has been saying that since the president for whom the ideology was named died of cancer on the fifth of march two thousand and thirteen. google chavez's chosen successor nicolas maduro continues to cling to
2:06 am
power of the pressure from foreign governments and millions of his own people to step down. they blame him for rampant inflation high crime and chronic food and medicine shortages. blames foreign sabotage particularly from the united states so then assuage his problems but not as colorfully as charges once did here criticizing former u.s. president george bush at the united nations in two thousand and six. president of the united states the gentleman to whom i refer as the devil came here. talking as if he owned the world i think we could call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday's statement made by the president of the united states. says that she is alive and well citing health and education programs and the continued redistribution of wealth begun by his predecessor but
2:07 am
even his supporters admit that is no charge that he doesn't have the same charisma or political astuteness he continues to talk of the future well aware of the mounting risks to his government. but honestly i want peace of venezuela we all want peace for venezuela stop the drums of war stop the threats of invasion. say with one voice that we want peace we want to be now well the two men shared similar politics the world has changed or prices have slumped in venezuela as leftwing allies in the region have largely disappeared the doors critics say the only flawed elections and support from the military keep them in power the predictions of his imminent demise have been frequent these past six years as they were the charges before him now president maduro faces one of his toughest challenges yet with the world watching to see how he reacts to the returns have been a swayer of the self declared interim president. from a trip to neighboring colombia well then this way the sixth anniversary of the
2:08 am
death of. the opposition is questioning his legacy nicolas maduro supporters are wondering how much longer it will keep the president in office. other news pakistan has detained dozens of people as part of a crackdown on armed groups they include people india suspect of being behind an attack that killed more than forty soldiers in the disputed kashmir region last month a group called jaish e mohammad said it was responsible and the brother for its leader was one of those detained the bombing triggered the most serious standoff between india and pakistan in years well once again armed groups operating the greater disputed kashmir region are under the spotlight as pakistan and india continue to face off against each other and non-college so those groups who those groups are and who supports them. they tell me it will be free this group called themselves. the brother of holy
2:09 am
warriors their leader mohammed haroun he's a firebrand cleric who supports armed groups across crush me including jaish e mohammed that's the group who claimed responsibility for the february fourteenth attack on indian troops that sparked this latest crisis between pakistan and india . god willing the fighters of al bad are already across the country and are ready to pounce on their targets and are waiting for the right time and god willing this year will be the liberation of the whole of kashmir. the anti indian pro united kashmiri ideology is fundamental to all of the groups in the region india has long maintained that these groups are directly funded and directed by pakistan's intelligence service the i.s.i. it's a charge pakistan the noise however the question remains what is pakistan doing about groups like al but they're rejecting. it. after two thousand and fourteen we have
2:10 am
game hard on these groups. now it's a stupid policy in pakistan that monopoly. remains with the state and norgrove will be able to use that bill bruford real reload to have that ability to use one for the groups so i think we are taking steps we have taken steps in the past since two thousand and fourteen we have stepped i think we are on the right direction the groups are active today on both sides of the disputed border in indian administered kashmir has both mojahedin regularly now attacks on indian troops yet india insists it's a domestic issue and says there's no comparison between groups on either side of the disputed border so all the suggestion that there is some kind of week where millions between the kind of terror challenge that india is facing and what. is either dealing with internally on n.p.r.'s all internal security issues which are
2:11 am
related to the northeast have completely i would say different contours and it's a different profile so this is a case of apples and oranges in a very negative sense because these groups have been assisted by the pakistani state on a neighbor and so where there's your mama. you cannot compare them with what is happening with groups in india because they are being sustained and they are the strategic assets on the pakistani army there are many in kashmir who say that the indian army is occupying kashmir and that the groups are a direct consequence of that india says it's there for security reasons meanwhile its armed groups in pakistan that seem to be garnering the most attention. reissue of all groups and who supports them is a phony one in. the box on your floor to say they are cracking down on these groups but it's clear that the all in the spotlight right now. the arrest be enough to
2:12 am
satisfy india i'm a lucky enough to reduce tensions between the two nuclear neighbors iraq. was a for about. top u.s. senators are pushing for new sanctions against those behind the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi bob menendez on the senate foreign relations committee is among the many politicians who say they're frustrated with the lack of progress made by the trumpet ministration on the investigation into the killing now that the senators gave the president one hundred twenty days to determine and investigate the perpetrators and under the global magnitsky act but the white house has failed to meet that deadline a lot more now from our correspondents in the white house can really help get. well i think we can take what a couple of senators who have a lot of power in the senate are saying collectively not just bob menendez but also senator tim kaine both democrats but it is important to note that there is unity
2:13 am
rare unity on this issue in the u.s. congress with respect to the notion that the administration has essentially flouted the law when it comes to the trigger of the global magnitsky act you remember that was triggered in twenty eighteen the administration was required to come up with a report to congress a few weeks ago with regard to who it believed was responsible for the killing of shows you have to remember this ministration said very specifically that it would pursue this to the highest echelons of the saudi government so many men in congress are very unhappy when the state department simply sanctioned just seventeen individuals but did not point to the saudi crown prince a conclusion that the u.s. senate certainly has come to after it was briefed by the cia director gina housefull there was another briefing that took place on monday where senators had
2:14 am
hoped they would finally get the information that they were looking for as a result of the trigger of the big but they were in a word disgusted with what they were told according to not just bob menendez but also senator tim kaine essentially the senators knew more about this case than those that were put forward by the administration. well european countries are expected to ask saudi arabia to cooperate with the u.n. probe into g.'s murder the joint statement is scheduled to be released on thursday and it also demand that riyadh releases detained activists sigurd no bar is a commentator and columnist on gulf affairs and he joins us now from washington d.c. thank you very much for being here with us today firstly i must ask you know we're seeing pressure from your brain countries the senate foreign relations committee but is there any point to this without the backing of the u.s. administration there is absolutely
2:15 am
a point to be made and that is that when you look at the european countries bringing this issue to the forefront of you and human rights council it essentially underscores that for europe human rights remains a top priority and concerns over what happened to jamal khashoggi now become the lightning rod if you will for detainees across prisons in saudi arabia and elsewhere in the broader middle east so this is only going to continue to up to pressure of the saudi government to take the steps that they have promised that they would take to hold those responsible for his murder to account. as we were saying european countries are expected to ask saudi arabia to cooperate with the investigation into the killing it almost seems counter intuitive kid do you actually saudi arabia see saudi arabia cooperating in
2:16 am
a fair and transparent way. well i think the one aspect of the international pressure to second aspect of the pressure as your correspondent just reported on is coming from the united states congress the congress and we have seen that demo that democrats and republicans remain united on the need for d. and ministration to not only pressure saudi arabia and crown prince to hold those responsible for their murder to account but also to share with the congress the details leading up to demerge or and to see whether or not u.s. intelligence organizations had advanced intelligence about what was about to happen to him so this is a story that did it plays out both in europe now and at the u.n. and here in the united states and i think that the president trump all the chaos that his administration is facing is continue will have to continue to
2:17 am
to navigate through this very difficult environment so we've seen two things happen there's been a lot of our g. from the u.s. administration and we've also seen saudi arabia pivot east to getting support from india pakistan china et cetera. do you really think that saudi arabia is feeling any kind of pressure or this pressure will result in any justice for should she. well i think what is what is clear is that this saudi royal family has been rattled not just by the affair itself but also leading up to when senior members of the royal family were shaken down of their wealth and how to submit to. difficult conditions at the ritz carlton hotel and now we're seeing new reports that there are some apparent tensions between king saul mom and the crown prince so
2:18 am
clearly within the saudi royal family during there's a large discontent of the. image that saudi arabia has now gained in the international community and also worry about how to resolve this issue going forward so i don't think that we're going to see any calm waters into the in the forseeable future. our thank you very much for your time and your insight hundreds of fighters defending their last pocket of territory have surrendered to u.s. backed forces in eastern syria more than six thousand people have been evacuated from the village of who's in the last twenty four hours mainly kurdish syrian democratic forces are trying to push i sell out it's feared hundreds of civilians could still be in the area near the iraqi border. well we have plenty more coming up in the news hour including. algeria's
2:19 am
defiant students keep the pressure on the president to step down. and the latest on the rescue efforts in afghanistan and the hard problems are flash floods have destroyed homes and displaced families. and reale shock in madrid as the title holders are knocked out of the champions league that's coming up with joe and sports. now the white house has rejected a request by democratic leaders for documents related to security clearance of presidents the president's son in law gerard questioner donald trump's council house call the house democrats request unprecedented and intrusive there were questions raised about how question or whose trump senior adviser got a high level security clearance
2:20 am
a recent new york times report suggested that trump went against recommendations by security officials and ordered his former chief of staff to clear a questionnaire. we cannot go live to shihab written c. in washington says you have to tell us more about this. right so the house oversight committee had already been investigating how security clearances were being given out of this investigation began even more intense following those reports reports last week that that the chief of staff of the white house at the time felt he'd been he'd been ordered to give cushion a top secret security clearance last year despite the reservations of security officials so the house oversight committee sent a letter to the white house saying ok we want more documents now to answer two questions among others that was what were those reservations about jarred question of security officials have and to why they don't trophy they had to lie about the process in which cushion a got that security clearance if general kelly that the white house he was told is to be believed because don't trust repeatedly said he had nothing to do with the
2:21 am
question of security clearance even on recordings from the new york times but if kelly is to be believed he was actually involved in that process we have the reply from the white house now they say no what we'll do is we'll give you a briefing about how security clearance is the process in which by which security clearances are doled out we'll give you some documents but we're going to give you any information about individual security clearances because that would violate privacy and in the last few hours now we have the reply from the democratic house leadership of the oversight committee saying well that's not good enough it is our constitutional role to see the doling out of security clearances even though it is donald trump in the president's right to hand out security clearances to whomever he or she may once but there's a there's a constitutional right according to this the house oversight committee to then at least oversee why these clearances are being given out so they will want what they're actually still planning their next next move and it's not quite clear yet whether we're at the stage of subpoenas or whether this is just the beginning of that or continuation of that back and forth about what information the white house
2:22 am
will eventually give up to the house house committee series she had from the start we've seen donald trump bring in a family members into advisers how much scrutiny is there into that and why is there so little attention to that. well there is not now about how the house is controlled by the democrats this is what a great deal of scrutiny is big news beginning on that very issue and now we have you know the requests flying back and forth from the house to the white house to all sorts of entities connected to donald trump as to how they want trump is not running his presidency but his business his charity whether he's making money through a multi months which are illegal under the constitution by foreign powers because of being president all of this is now the scrutiny fact just in the last day or so and a different house committee has also documents for some eighty entities connected to donald trump and they have two weeks that have to finish that informational perhaps themselves face subpoenas and potential court action and so on it is now
2:23 am
going to be under scrutiny whether we get anywhere with these inquiries or whether they'll just be held up in the courts for months and years if people hold firm and don't release this information well that's another matter but at the very least the news cycle is being is being eaten up now by all these requests from house committees saying we want information about how you run the presidency and your business whether that's overstepping the mark whether they'll be some sort of fatigue about all that well that's a different question to. see in washington thank you. ok tell jerry an hour where the army chief says he will prioritize security and not allow the country to return to an era of bloodshed thousands of people returned to the streets earlier they're keeping up their pressure and the calls for the presidents to resign their protesters are urging eighty two year old abdelaziz bouteflika not to run and next month's elections which he submitted papers for on sunday and i hear word has more . they've known no other leader in the one the
2:24 am
country for twenty years the. but there appears to be a groundswell against algiers abdelaziz bouteflika in the capital algiers the message from thousands of demonstrating students was clear they want him to leave office now. we're against beautifully cairney gets a regime we are fed up twenty years are enough we want change. they've been in power for twenty years we've overlooked the situation for too long to process it's time now for people to wake up and not just citizens. some students were forced to cover their faces suffering from the effects of tear gas this outpouring of anger began when algeria's ailing leader announced he would run for with term as president the cry for politically could to step aside has been growing louder every
2:25 am
day spreading beyond the boundaries about is. the military which helped lead and shape the country during and after the bloody civil war in the one nine hundred ninety s. wields power here and its military chief says it wants to guarantee algeria security. that. some parties which feel annoyed to see a secure and stable do not like it do you want to take back to the years of pain during which people suffer. all kinds of suffering and paid a heavy price the great people who lived through such difficult times were never given the bounty of security. president beautifully can suffered a stroke six years ago and has rarely been seen in public since then he's offered to shorten any new term in power but many here believe that doesn't go far enough. several days of protests against his rule of law to more than two hundred people
2:26 am
being injured you. can say constitute the right to free expression is part of the algerian constitution we expect that those rights be respected where there is peaceful demonstrations under the rule of law. the military has warned that some people want to take algeria backwards protesters say they hold the king ahead trying to secure a better future and after twenty years it is time to change and he would al-jazeera . it's being hailed as a potential breakthrough in the fight against hiv a london man appears to have become the only only the second person to go into long term remeasured from the virus that causes aids the patients who are seeking treatment for cancer when he was the stem cell transplant three years ago because he was eight also h.i.b. positive doctors decided to give him bone marrow from a rare hiv resistant donor three years later he stopped taking the drugs to control
2:27 am
the virus and tests show he is still in remission well said martino works at u.n. aid so he says that while scientific research should be encouraged governments should also support regions that are more readily available. this functional cure as we as we are calling it is obviously a significant step forwards we're not clear there's obviously a lot of a lot of further work that needs to be done in terms of the past ways and once what it what is behind that cure and i was it is further work before we can definitely say there is a full you know. we really want to recognize that there is a lot of further work that is needed to be done to develop a cure obviously a stem cell transplants are highly complex that significant interventions are not something we can use for the twenty seven million people living with hiv so there's a lot more work we need to do to to make this a plan to build more generally as as
2:28 am
a successful. solution for the problems at the moment we have highly effective antiretroviral medicines that. are very very effective they have low levels of resistance that have low levels of talks to city and they are a key key aspect of what we would encourage countries to continue to invest in but i do want to stress we also say this is a great step forward and it is really important that we continue to invest in in scientific innovation such as this a study that mark has become the latest research to show that there is no link between autism and the measles mumps and rubella vaccine known as a mar and if people continue to resist they knock elation in part because actually vaccination groups are becoming increasingly vocal there's mariana han but more in what's fueling the fear. twenty five at least that's the number of studies that conclude there is no link between autism and the m.m.r.
2:29 am
vaccine to protect against measles mumps and rubella and we can now take that up to twenty six the latest study this one out of date mark of more than half a million children born over eleven years establishing once again there is no link you might think that well and truly puts them into the n.t. vaccine movement truth is it's not likely. super charged by the internet and social media and nation views no matter how bogus or ill informed have flourished. and coincided with the growing and his deposition and backlash new research out of the queen mary university of london this month shows people who vote for populist parties across europe a more likely to mistrust vaccines and the experts who promote them some of the madrone instead to people like andrew wakefield the man behind the now debunked nine hundred ninety eight study that first made the claims of an autism vaccine
2:30 am
link he's being thoroughly discredited but is enjoying something of a real nice aunts among right wing groups and conspiracy theorists even politicians without changing the system that has led to the political disenfranchisement of a large portion of the population without changing the system that's led to the economic marginalization of a large proportion of the population it's hard to see how we can rebuild this this general trust between the population between accepts me but peel away the n.t. vaccine messaging in many cases you simply live here and just want what's best for the kids who were worried and unsure and seeing anti vaccination lissajous like this one on twitter last month from dollar shine the wife of the white. house communications chief advocating natural immunity over vaccinations thing is for natural immunity to kick in you need to get the disease first if that's measles you
2:31 am
face a one in five hundred chance of dying from it the chances of an adverse reaction to the a.m.a. mob vaccine are less than one in a million the world health organization says vaccines safe two to three million lives every year but they're also victims of their own success type a major. major league event and motion. to make people realize how cool thanks things because that's what. history's anything to die while the n.t. vaccine movement are in minority communities rely on high vaccination rates to keep disease at bay but dismissing those who don't want to vaccinate as a rational isn't helpful either cleaning up social media is and has begun but restoring face and established systems and people who champion vaccines now that is
2:32 am
the real challenge. and still have this news our. children killing children why rising number of young people in the u.k. have become the victims of knife attacks. and then sport joe has a fallout after turkish footballer slashes rival players with a razor blade. the in. and out of the weather is generally a little quieter across parts of north america now we have lost the tornadoes but instead we start with some very very cold air that is digging down from canada so many of us as in the temperatures well below average. looks like those temperatures will slowly be rising there was we had through the next few days so still cold force in minneapolis but nowhere near as cold as it has been out towards the west
2:33 am
well that's what we've got more wet weather working its way in so a lot of rain and some snow over the mountains as well or have that's working its way eastwards bringing more wintery weather here as we head through the day on thursday the eastern parts they will stay quite quiet with plenty of sunshine cool sunshine in new york with the temperature freezing a bit further towards the south and there's plenty of sunshine across the central americas the force in southern mexico there's a few showers here and some of them allow you to be rather heavy they break up a little bit more they would be had through the day on thursday so more of us should enjoy a bit of frost whether they further towards the south and there's plenty of sunshine here but also a whole host of showers those are wrestling all the way down through parts of brazil really i was expecting yet more during the day to the south of that though it's pretty hot force in asuncion it's up temperature of thirty six of when it was like we'll see more cloud by the time we get to thursday.

allegheny what you desire and here is her mind on her top stories when israel is president nicolas maduro has vowed to defeat the opposition accusing leader and his supporters of destabilizing the country but there is calling for imperialist demonstrations on saturday to coincide with an opposition march. pakistan has detained dozens of people as part of a crackdown on armed groups suspects linked to an attack that killed more than forty indian troops and the disputed kashmir region last month. and the e.u.
2:36 am
countries are expected to pressure saudi arabia to cooperate with the un investigation into jamal khashoggi smarter this comes as u.s. senators push for a new sanctions of those behind the study journalists killing. ok let's not return to our top story and that's a political standoff in venezuela dobson as a journalist at venezuela analysis dot com and he joins us now from in venezuela fall dobson good to have you on the show thank you very much for joining us. so we're hearing that the mother is calling for rival rallies. what would what is he likely to achieve from this and what really is the point he's trying to make. well there's something that's not at all unusual here in venice weyler for both sides of the political spectrum to take to the streets on the saying they a lot have to do about the idea of not abandoning a graphical space in the streets essentially to the other political bloc and we've
2:37 am
seen numerous examples of this over the last couple of months when a lot of pro-government rallies have coincided with a large opposition rallies largely they have been peaceful and gone off without incident and so this is really not a surprise for us here in venezuela that is not fact speculation over the power structure which might do it all heads what do you know about the chain of command and whether it's it's weakening well this is something which the opposition leader has claimed time and time again that there is according to him a break in the chain of command however the recent events here in venezuela would suggest that this is pure rhetoric and then from the chain of command it is entirely intact we saw the events on february twenty third on venezuela's border where the armed forces of bader the order of nicholas miller are not the order of opposition leader why though and this would suggest that really the any expected upright him with the armed forces it is more of a pipe dream of the opposition than any reality yet despite
2:38 am
a threat suffer arrest one guy do came back to venezuela without many without problem what does that say to you and what does that indicate there may be somewhat . weakening a month that structure. well today president maduro said that he basically was not going to pay much attention to one why they're belittling him if you like my reading of the events of yesterday when he went why the return to the country is that if he had been a real political threat to the government if the government had seen him as a political threat they probably would have have taken measures to i rest him that definitely plenty of legal groundwork there to justify that decision the fact that they allowed him into the country freely and openly really indicates that that he is not a political threat he is losing momentum very quickly and i think the government are happy to let them burn themselves out we're seeing a larger number for international cut countries other countries recognizing one by
2:39 am
those legitimacy and perhaps this missing my doris presidency what effect is that having and what effect are the sanctions the u.s. is placing having well it's worth pointing out that of the large economic powerhouse in the world have recognized why though the united states canada and western europe but in terms of numerically seventy five percent of the world continues to recognize the elected government of nicholas mother or some other and five hundred far more international support than why does the measures being taken by the united how the united states the functions of centrally are definitely having an impact on venice way about what the impact of the oil embargo which was announced last month is yet to really hit home in the country we're expecting to see some very severe measures hitting the country over the next month or two when this really comes into effect. paul dobson with venezuela analysis good to speak to you thank you. aid has been rushed afghanistan's

2:42 am
going to end what's been achieved and of course crucially if anything is achieved here can it be implemented on the ground in afghanistan. where details of the country's biggest mass grave are expected to be revealed soon remains of more than three hundred people were discovered in the northwest of the country last year. as has this report which is part the battle zone long civil war. construction workers found human bones while digging foundations at a former government supermarket it led to the discovery of this month's grave in men in north question and. detailed excavation of the site under court supervision as on earth the remains of more than three hundred people around thirty of them children the judicial medical officer in charge of the investigation says the site is being treated as a crime scene if it is for my burial site it was more stuff the symmetry of.
