governments on the others to achieve these values we are at a very critical time and this meeting there was a sense of urgency that was from different parts. of from different countries so we heard from syria we heard from yemen we heard from palestine and everybody is talking about how how desperate their city ration is so i think we need to find a way to work together to find in two impunity and this massive human rights violations that people are going through. plans morsels come on the news hour including american airlines extends its cancellations of flights aboard these seven three seven max but how will those customers be affected. and in sports here comes out on top of the one holds its one thousand trace.

american tour of allies want to force material from power all that speak married to other sandro rump yet see who is live for us in cocozza allison what exactly is pompei you hoping to achieve in calcutta. well how that compares arrived a couple of hours ago here on the border between colombia and venezuela we saw him arriving in quite casual attire with an untacked box and down shirt he went first to a shelter for venezuelan migrants a third of all the venezuelans who have left the country fleeing from konami situation there have arrived here in colombia so he went first to this shelter to speak to with these venezuelans and any true tour into the bridge that you see

behind me with the president of colombia this is this you won't believe a bridge the main entry point for these venezuelans and what he's trying to achieve here is this is what he's been doing throughout this trip is to insist that the u.s. will continue fighting against the president of in a sweat on equalize my daughter until they manage to push him out of office and what he was trying to do is show unity of intent longer the countries that are allies of the united states in this process. the some true materials and the blaming the u.s. sanctions for the problems what was. he was asked about that on saturday and in the us answer was that there's no doubt

that the problem is that this is facing. all of this is due to the policies of president nicolas maduro and his predecessor. chavez and he said that in no way the u.s. can be responsible for what is happening there he said that you can ask and even as well and inside the country or of anyone answer who have left and they'll tell you that only these socialist policies are responsible for the dire economic and social situation inside venezuela however we've spoken to a number of officials here in colombia migration officials and they have said they are very worried that the u.s. sanctions could make vs you many syrian situation even worse and that this could mean an increase in the number of people fleeing the country if specially if they don't reach their desired effect which is the beginning

a transition inside the van it's well about we're not seeing any of that happening actually president nicolas maduro supporters today were right on the other side of the bridge they held a concert there and they were waving the red flags and chanting against the praising. tale here on the border instead we spoke to other people here that were cheering wimple in pay arrived and asking the u.s. to intervene a military i mean literally now we know that the u.s. government is leaving all options on the table when it comes to venezuela but none . here consider that a real possibility. that they're said i but thank you very much in. speaking to us from on the border. well stay with this farnsworth is vice presidents of the consul of the americas the former white house official joins us now from washington d.c.

. this just start with these sanctions because there's a lot of politics at play here madeira government is blaming the sanctions and the u.s. essentially saying it's not the sanctions that's the problem it's the missouri governments do you think these current sign shin's are changing anything in venezuela well i think that's clearly the desire and intent of the white house that they will change things but clearly mr madeira was still in power in venezuela so they have not caused him to leave office or his his regime to fall in any particular way i think we have to differentiate a couple things the first is that there have been sanctions in place for a number of years on individuals in venezuela particularly senior regime officials to try to get them to change their behavior those are not directed at the venezuelan people those are directed at folks who are corrupt human rights abusers drug traffickers that sort of thing more recently the united states put broader

sanctions on the country particularly in the oil sector and i think that is why the lot of people are looking at is potentially going to cause broader economic dislocations but to get to this point it really has been the chevy's mo to the door regime that has put venezuelan the bad position that it's in do you think there are more sanctions on the way and if so what difference will they make because as you point cites the material government still there in taking its heels in. you know it's a really good question you're asking i think a couple things the first is that the current sanctions can be applied more tightly and i think that's one thing mr pompei i was trying to do is to get the allies in latin america themselves to step up their own application of sanctions in a more coordinated way to come alongside with the united states has already done been doing secondly yes there are additional things that can be done but at the end of the day if the economy doesn't increase in prove if the health situation doesn't

get better if food continues to be scarce and i think all of those are probably going to happen then the venezuelan people are the ones who ultimately have to pay the price and they can decide to stay or leave already more than ten percent of it as well as populations outside the country so it is a very desperate and dire situation already if they it certainly isn't as you point out since the venezuelan people who are paying for this pressure this being exact since on the contrary just hide far is the u.s. prepared to go i can't say that i don't know but you know everybody from president trump to his most senior advisers have said all options are on the table so i think that's probably you have to take them at their word but having said that i think you also have to take them at their word that they have several more steps that they are intending to implement before they get to any sort of use of force or anything like that meanwhile continuing to try to turn up the pressure on mr maduro to cause him to leave of his own decision of his

own volition if they can do that then indeed there is an opportunity for the interim government of one guy go to come in to take power and to begin the reconstruction process of venezuela and let sense of might from pay and he's right the board sounds a symbolism that must be pretty strong i would say you think that would be perceived not just by venezuela but by other countries that are supporting nicolas maduro. i think you're exactly right they're doing it for symbolism that's where much of the aid would go across from colombia into venezuela if the venezuelan regime would allow it to occur which they haven't to this point but the symbolism is significant and i think the purpose of the visit is to continue to highlight the fact that it is an ongoing crisis in venezuela and to continue the momentum so that the the regime continues to be on the defensive in the eyes of the world community continue to see what they're always doing to his own people in venezuela. eric it's

that aids. leave that press conference for marriage turned to some of the day's other news. american airlines says it's extending the cancellation of all flights aboard boeing seven three seven max aircrafts until august their line c.e.o. told employees he believes their craft will be recertified within the next three months american airlines estimates the cancellations will affect around one hundred and fifteen flights para day the u.s. sent a number of other countries grounded the seven three seven max model in mid march after deadly crashes in ethiopia and indonesia. john hendren is live with the details from washington d.c. john why is american airlines extending those flight cancellations.

well this is a process hala that was supposed to be done by april and what's happening today is american airlines is extending that through august nineteenth and they're doing it because they are recognizing they're simply not going to have those those fixes in place at what's going on right now is that there was a problem with the flight control system on the plane and it would force the nose of the plane down if it was thought that the plane's nose was going too high and it would stall so if it got of iranians signal it is believed that that is what contributed to the two crashes that killed more than three hundred people so what has to happen now is that boeing is got a software fix in place and some more training for pilots to show show them how to use that system and it's just apparently taking longer than they thought it would so they've got to go through a certification process with the federal aviation administration and that means for american airline more than one hundred flights

a day through the mid august are going to be canceled that's after on thursday southwest airlines which has more of these planes than anyone else said it will also do the same and it's going to cancel one hundred and sixty flights a day and that will of course affect the heavy traveling summer season it means a lot of people are going to be inconvenienced and it means the airlines are going to have some revenue problems they're not going to be earning the money on those seats that they would have on those planes because but for the airlines perhaps but those seventy seven miles crashes of also proves a massive setback for boeing just type battis it for the company. well boeing has had to take the unusual step of actually reducing production they were making fifty two of these planes a month now they recognize that demand has gone down people companies have canceled orders so they're going from fifty two to forty two planes

a month meanwhile boeing's stock has not recovered from an eleven percentage point drop that's millions and millions of dollars in shareholder value that they have lost in the meantime they had hoped to overtake airbus in market share airbus has about forty five percent of the commercial aircraft market share boeing has forty three and they were really hoping that this plane would increase their market share but instead it's really done the opposite here they've been cancellations boeing has had to revise its forecasts for economic performance for the year but of course the biggest hit has been to their reputation and that will take years for them to recover from they would say join hands on live for us there in washington d.c. thank you egypt's parliament's civil rights on constitutional changes on choose say that kids extends a presidential term limits the change would also allow c.c. to run again after his suits as potentially extending his rule to twenty
