colombia's border with venezuela the u.s. national security adviser john bolton is set warning foreign financial institutions of sanctions if they helped lead to his government in any way how is this being received. this is being seen as as a continuation of that pressure from the united states against the government of. national security advisor john bolton in part of that statement where he was announcing the potential sanctions on any financial institution that would be aiding the nicholas to the government of nicholas berg had said that the united states would not allow the mud the mother the government to steal the wealth of the venezuelan people and adding to that was the u.s. by vice president mike pence saying that the united states would be revoking seventy seven visas of members of nicolas modus government so not only is this being seen as a continuation of that pressure from the united states is being seen as reaffirmation of the united states' support for opposition leader one by bill and

why does campaign for a transitional government in venezuela we've been watching for any sort of statement any sort of word from president nicolas maduro in response to these statements that we're hearing from the united states and for the calls for more protests from mr why though but until now the stream of tweets that we've seen from mr mother would have been more geared toward carnival in venezuela given that monday and tuesday were holidays in the country and also paying homage to the former leader of venezuela hugo chavez given that tuesday was the sixth anniversary of his death but as you mentioned already the latest that we did hear from the mother to government was that he was giving forty eight hours to the ambassador of germany to leave the country and one going to have a say because what else is on the agenda for the opposition and beyond the call from what i'm a stray sions. want to do is wasted no time since returning. a

tour of several south american countries over the weekend as you mentioned he met with these public sector workers he met with union leaders there's that's part of the strategy by the opposition in the days ahead leading up to protests that he's called for on march ninth but today he was also calling on the venezuelan military to not to to stop preventing children in venezuela from accessing formal education and accessing school on the colombian side of the venezuela colombia border earlier today we went to a school that has a ninety five percent venezuelan student population and every faculty member had reported a decline in attendance at this school part of that has to do with the fact that the border official border between colombia and venezuela is close diplomatic ties between the two countries is severed but parents and students are still finding alternative ways to get a way to get around that and people are just saying that there is there is nothing that they won't do to prove to make sure that their kids can access school but this

is one of the many things that go i do is calling for and part of the strategy of the national opposition by going up and thank you very much indeed. for years of economic hardship have taken a shocking toll on venezuela is most vulnerable mental health facilities throughout the country a collapsing even psychiatric patients without doctors food or medicine is she in human reports and you may find some images disturbing. half hidden at the end of this road is what was one of the news whalers most respected psychiatric rehabilitation centers that now the only person left there is but not of the are seeing in the watchman for the last fifteen years evil girls have and why did they close the institute i ask. because there was no medicine or food there used to be three hundred patients but in may the last fifty were transferred dr phillips the last call worked at the institute until the last day and he tells

boys why someone is trafficked differs from region to region but sexual exploitation is the most common type of trafficking in twenty sixteen almost sixty percent of trafficking victims have been coerced into sexual slavery women and men also targeted for different reasons more than eighty percent of women who are trafficked a sexually exploited whereas men a usually trafficked so that they can be forced to work make a level math say from the international as asian for migration is a regional specialist on migration protection and assistance for west and central africa he says the nigerian case is a reminder of the scale of the problem and also the importance of ensuring migrants are informed about the risks of a sports haitian. the caribbean came out with a bloody warning number of twenty thousand people being a car entirely and exploited molly just makes us look thinking about so. beyond their accuracy of this number the. objective fact is that from thinking

is actually a big issue in the region we have to keep in mind that trafficking not only not necessarily i mean the nation the phenomenon we can happen within a given country but mainly an international phenomenon so ready often one of the key element is the dialogue and the cooperation among congress come to shedding maybe a comment that the process or time of the company stuck to each other agree on principle and develop a but action agreement that allows. became to will be identified and. the perpetrators to be pursued actually awareness raising making sure that migrant said a word about the restrictions to regular migration and the risk that it expressed a sion by clicking on that one of the key element i am intervention in the region at important but the message that we provide the senses follow them so

channel and so content to be credible by those who are out of it by this message you know that we have affected at the same time as the me being by the border who out of knowledge by. the ships by the thought of the potential victims as the boat or what and i don't know what they are. the mining sector is certainly betty sensitive sector themselves exploitation weakness and sit on mining fields we. said i kind of abuse this thought of getting a children's out of getting women out of getting. young mayors because of the way. the key aspect of trafficking that it does not target just met a boy but it's like children and women in the country and them so volume young means so much. much bigger case loads. of them out there that they were

so good and can be used to. stuff and in the process include being the most loving one which is actually. even. more side of their body so it's something very. worrying. to know that to have a better understanding of humans and their dating research on this specific domain in the region. the idea is to have first a better understanding of the size and volume of this phenomenon than to get better . coordinated response to that original letter to the white man is south africa has been sentenced to twenty three and eighteen years in prison for killing a young black man they caught him feeding some flowers from the farm the cases increased racial tension as having them in a report from the northwest province. peter daughter of art and philip scooter were

last year found guilty of killing a fifteen year old black boy whom they'd caught stealing sunflowers on a farm where they worked they've now been sentenced to have are to eighteen years and souter to twenty three years in prison. the sentence comes two years after markham almost who was killed on the outskirts of the small town of collini markham or less parents suck in agnes say their son's death was senseless and racially motivated. if my son was a weight they would have killed him for being on the farm and taken floors they would have disciplined him but they killed my son because he's like following my kamala's death people here rioted some looted shops and burned down houses including property owned by the farmers the community was torn apart along racial lines. this is where michael moore lho was found after he was caught on the farm he had suffered a broken neck but there are two versions to the story one is that michael miller

was killed by the two white men who would courting stealing sunflowers but they claim the boy died when he jumped off the back of a van as they drove into the police station the families of these men say the trial wasn't fair and important evidence was ignored. they saved my kamala's death was an accident and from from outside we we are sort of at something like this happen but it's either you were disarmed discipline on the on that side of the children. but the people in the township must teach the children do not take something that does not belong to you thought of art and screw to plan to appeal the conviction and sentence in recent weeks the only witness said he lied to the court when he testified that he saw the two men throw the boy from the back of the van but he later said he'd been intimidated bribed and made to read a statement to clear the farmers in twenty seventeen two white men in power malanga

were found guilty of attempted murder after they filmed themselves forcing a black man into a coffin they said had trespassed and stolen copper cables they threatened to burn him alive that court's judgment highlighted the extent of racial divisions in post apartheid south africa here in collini the sentence given to do out of art and scooter has brought some consolation to a community who promised protests if the sentence was lenient but closure appears to be a long way off for the sleepy conservative town what is certain is that the death of a fifteen year old black boy has further entrenched racial divisions here from al-jazeera callignee northwest province of africa at the height of europe's refugee crisis and twenty fifteen tens of thousands of people were arriving on europe's shores every month now with a number of near rivals down nearly ninety percent the european commission as declared the migration crisis over so what's change while not much for those

seeking refuge as john how explains. this notion that the migration crisis in europe over the european commission pointing to a ten fold decrease in the numbers of migrants refugees and asylum seekers trying to get into europe is something that i think would be disputed in the vast unsanitary in secure asylum camps in libya african migrants trying to get to europe and of course among the thousands festering in awful conditions inside europe in camps in the greek islands most of those refugees from syria there the crisis is very much not over it in any case why now why use this language when i think it's a pushback against what the commission describes as fake news misinformation myths and untruths about migration put about from within its own ranks you hear this debate very much alive in countries like italy where migration is used to fuel support for parties on the far right one of which is actually in government you

hear it in countries like britain but no one has made as much running with it as victor or banned in hungary who's used it as an election platform he won an election another one last year old off the back of the migration sentiment and rhetoric railing against the european union on everything to do with border security and calm compulsory relocation quotas and just a few days ago using the photograph the picture of john called you look at the commission president alongside all bands but why are george soros to depict. and constantly warns against a deliberate effort to flood europe with hundreds of thousands more refugees were on him that was a step too far for the european commission and this is the fighting back essentially against one of its own the british government has held imagines he talks after a recent upsurge in fatal teenage stabbings police chiefs have asked for more money and powers to deal with a nationwide problem the defense secretary has even suggested putting troops on the

streets to help if baca has more from london. jody chesney and yusef marquis are the latest ninth and tenth teams to be fatally stabbed this year this is the london parkway jody chesney was murdered stabbed in the back as she played music with friends the victims were both seventeen ten teenagers have been killed in stabbings this year twenty seven in the past twelve months the killings of course outrage and a fierce national debate nine of my friends were shot dead in the last one was shot fifty seven times this is sheldon thomas a former gang member who now advises young people and politicians on violent crime he believes the current debate been heightened because recent victims have been white and middle class why does it take a middle class person to be killed before they use the word crisis when poor whites and blacks are being killed for many years over fifteen twenty years we've had countless of young people stabbed in exactly the same way shot dead and yet that it

wasn't considered a crisis where. if you just showed and thomas once the author to pay more attention to the impact of social media and the culture that glorifies guns a knife crime this is a drill music police believe it buells rival gang violence this group ten eleven was recently fired for mentioning death or injury in their music money girls will respect that the gang is in very world social media is their broadcast social media is the mom social media is the bag and in their world what you call a surge in knife crime rate justice it's very verge of justice finding a solution to knife crime is now in the hands of the government and police a growing number of young people have lost their lives in a cycle of mindless violence that has shocked us all the responsibility for these crimes lies with the perpetrators of them.
