is calling latin america's worst refugee crisis of the three million people who fled in recent years one million have left for neighboring colombia and that's where the un's refugee agency has set up its first center to receive venezuelans with the crisis. reports now from michael fay. it's an image more often associated with countries who are refugees are fleeing from war while these tents in the desert of northern colombia might seem a surprising sight they could become an increasingly common one like thousands of others yet became unable to feed their three children in neighboring business where she took a chance moving them here and soon ended up sleeping on the dusty streets of the border city of either let us in that we slept on the side. it was scary and it was difficult to find food i would skip meals to feed them i needed to eat to feed the little one i would worry and cry until they put me to this camp. this is the first

camp the united nations refugee agency has built in colombia where more than a million venezuelans have sought refuge from hunger and shortages. the un's not calling it a refugee camp but a migrant center where the most vulnerable state temporarily to gather their strength. their yanni sorry ass is relieved to leave the desperation back home behind her and says every meal for her daughter bridges or joy was. a hero when we were screened they told me she was underweight thank god she gained weight since be part here and is recovering fairly well until recently the colombian notoriously had resisted the idea of opening camps like this one fearing they would have convince more people to but with more and more families arriving from venezuela and ending up on the streets local authorities decided so. needed to be done hundreds of people families are now living in the streets on my couch

going to start they have are forming this coalition kind of phrase there's the democratic front to counter what's been going on and to counter. who is the head of the military government now and prime minister candidate for the main party for supporting the military they say that they have enough seats in the lower house to now form a coalition to have a majority in the lower house they say there are at least six parties involved in this coalition and they say they have at least two hundred fifty five seats that would be a majority a simple majority in the lower house that they feel as though they can come together and start to do this the head of the algerian army has triggered a constitutional process that would declare president abdelaziz bouteflika unfit for office exaction follows weeks of mass protests but if he cares for the country for twenty years but has been mostly out of the public eye since suffering a stroke and twenty thirteen israel's prime minister is threatening further action against gaza amid the biggest israeli palestinian escalation and months there's been reports of sirens in southern israel and a rocket landing there as well as new israeli air strikes on the southern gaza

we believe personally one of the main beneficiaries is that the case listen if you want to be relations with india that's not exactly my point we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter how does iraq. i have a me ok today is space the next military battleground where discussing what a galactic arms race would mean for the planet join the conversation twitter's or leave a comment in a live chat and if it's good you can read a story. the popular u.s. television show star trek may have been a right when it declared space the final frontier this week officials from twenty five countries are meeting in switzerland in an effort to prevent a military conflicts from breaking out in space the closed door talks are seen as

a test of goodwill bought it all twenty five countries do not agree and the treaty won't be formalized joining us to talk about this in sapporo japan consume tosa zuki he's a member of the international editorial board at the space policy journal in geneva switzerland daniel paris he's a space security fellow at the u.n. institute for disarmament research and in the studio victoria samson she's the washington office director for the secure well foundation hello everybody it's really good to have you certainly is a member the public in a civilian when we talk about the militarization of space we think so i find any explosions or battles but i really want to get down to the nitty gritty of the reality one of the conflicts have there been any in space that you know about. i mean it's just it's not that sexy and unfortunately i never know his thing so you know you get a starship troopers coming around and you have doc right in space but really what

we're looking at is interfering with satellites and that could be anything from deliberately shooting one down but what's happening now is actually just jamming radio frequency interference preventing the satellite by kassam missions from getting to a target audience who's that was with what entity which country right now only recently that you can tell us about well i think there are not so much enemies as a potential threat and frankly in my colleagues can definitely interrupt me have they disagree but i think right now the united states china and russia are obviously keeping an eye on what each other's do have because it's a and they jamming each other what do they say well they can gently each other they don't necessarily do that all the time the point is that you can jam the signals from satellites towards this satellite but those so you can jam locally for example

the north korea has jammed g.p.s. signals around the border with south korea so that makes it very hard for the airplanes and cars to run around so that sort of you know disruption that's being really serious and so jeff with that ground planes when it just being incredibly inconvenient it makes it very complete convenient and often the case that you know that those airports hatch the shutdown because of that. interference and you know you can you can create all sorts of you know civil economic disruption interfering signals that it sounds more like mischief them warm. well at the moment while we do have certain levels of mischief we are already seeing that because space assets and space systems are so important for the military these days various countries are trying to find ways to negate some of

those capabilities it's just a simple way of trying to neutralize the field and to gain an advantage over a rival our biggest concern at the moment is that while we haven't seen conflict break out in space yet the potential for escuela torrie situation is there so we don't want the situation to get any worse and we certainly know that as victoria said the u.s. russia china and maybe some other players are also trying to develop new abilities that could be a lot more disruptive or potentially destructive and of course one of the big concerns that we have is that when you have destructive capability for space you make a lot of trash and the trash doesn't come down it stays in orbit it could potentially render some of our orbit unusable. the toy i mean just building off daniel's thought it people think of space debris and they think maybe the movie wall-e. were eventually they're going to bring a trash circling the planet and this eventually the rock is going to pop out

through the surface that's not what we have to worry about with the worry about is that at certain point it's me too costly to use certain orbits and certain orbits or altitudes every so for a very specific task on earth and so that means we lose as capabilities surrounded by a ton of trash that's just so can i say it might even just bump into satellites that we using for everyday use as well that actually happened in two thousand and nine when an old russian satellite bumped into an active u.s. satellite right now there are that's called space ration awareness and there are organizations that are tracking this sort of thing but it's difficult because if you have a piece of trash approach or debris approaching an active satellite you can call the salat owner and say hey you got to move this but if you have two pieces of debris approaching each other what it is either one of the can move because they do . you broke you broke it down for us about the possibilities of the kind of war for a mage a conflict that can be had in space you brought it down and then we made a very simple animation just a top people three let's start with the best option so the first option is

a space based weapons and a satellite sensing another satellite tell us more about what's possible that. well that i can shoot at us not i but most likely that you get an approach to the other side right and take them down together so it's not a suicidal just listen to it yeah yeah crash into it or you can't take down to the you know going to get into orbit where each is it you don't have to you know destroy something that if you can just disable descent that i you can you know gave me a you know some ecstatic posts to you know it's disable the some you know communication devices or you know i'm tennis that was careening down a y. you grinning. well this is. now i suppose i'm just grinning because these are some of the issues that we're dealing with on a daily basis and as people are developing these technologies. some of it is useful

some of the technologies like on orbit service vehicles which are like little maneuverable satellites that can approach other objects as technologies and it's helped clean up debris or potentially to extend the life satellite right however at the moment because of the sort of situation between some of the big powers in the world there's a lack of trust yeah and so you know we automatically think the worst case scenario you know i it's a great we can maneuver the satellites close to turn over we're sitting there going to crash them and take them down another option possibility about militarization in space is ground to space so something happening down on the ground shooting satellites in space is it a tell us more about that yeah that happened going to happen. well it happened it was a segment that china demonstrated the capability of shooting down the sucker right

from the ground by using a miss out and any it's a missile defense capabilities can't do that for the most opaque short so if you. having a sucker right in a closed region to her first then it can be a targeted well i d missiles which are designed to shoot out of you know another incoming missile but also you can take it down to something right as well because you have mentioned a two thousand seven tiny's anti-satellite test actually the united states did one in two thousand and eight where we used modified interceptor from our missile defense system to shoot down but i don't think that i know every single what you just said and i'm not invited back i mean if you want to explain it in layman's tabs on a woman stand there you go lay persons so the united states used interceptor basically a rocket has intended to run into something else like to shoot down one of its own

satellites and took it from our ballistic missile defense program the idea they were trying to intercept the incoming rocket bullet with a bullet yeah and in theory of missile defenses suppose just intercept rockets and hit satellites yeah yeah but in two thousand and eight we launched an intelligence satellite that didn't work for you as say yeah the united states launched an intelligence satellite didn't go where they had intended it to go and they said well actually it has a lot of that chemicals in it if a d. orbits and we don't know where it lands a very bad for people on the ground you better shoot it down and so they did and it was successful fashion got it got it they did it at a lower altitude than the chinese did the chinese two thousand and seven and has test left a lot of debris piece of trash in a very active orbit yeah yeah the states do thousand they did it alone. orbits of the the debris all came back down the planetary pole can bring the debris down to burns up in the atmosphere ok but definitely it is something that has been done

right so many possibilities one mall which is a space based missile defense system he's the animation just very quick. say to tell us about the us well the missile defense will be very effective if it's done in an early stage so when the resell one notch from somewhere else and it's coming then it's better to shoot down in space rather than it's coming down to you so the united states proposed the idea to shoot down do you know incoming excel in space based on you know using space based. space based site that outsource space based weapons their problem is that you never know when the such miss out ac coming. in order to prepare to shoot down those missiles you have to have sat as and since i wasn't of such that i had to shoot them down and which is very very

expensive and it's economically and unfeasible so it's it's not there yet and it's not going to i don't think it's going to happen. if what that that i was just going to add on to outlook as he was saying that one of the big problems with space based missile defense is that one it kirby it's the the potential for not just being able to intercept missiles but as victoria was saying earlier missile interceptors can have a variety of uses min so a number of other countries are very concerned that space based missile interceptors might not be used for missile interceptors at all but rather to try and strike targets on the ground.
