country from them a drogue government. one guy joe says he intends to act as interim president only until new and fair elections can be held. ok where is this headed eduardo mendez from did have you latin america joins us in the studio this morning good morning and wardo what can you tell us about. the opposition leader and how much public support is enough one way or the newest face to fresh face in the long row of opposition leaders that are in prison or. had to leave the kountry. and he's the new hope to tear new face of hope for venezuelans. and. i say the first this but he also has shifted. their authority of how. percent thing itself in venezuela especially because he. has

a more calm way to transmit his message she is not so pushing forward like former positions. and so he's trying to do get some sort of dialogue though his variances in this message of trying to do. no good this dictatorship of commanding wins ok he has support of course a present trump has backed him with a platform of regional states in his lima group limit group as well throwing their weight behind why go this is the foreign minister of canada part of that group chrystia freeland let's have a listen to what she saying. so let me say on behalf of canada that we recognize and express our full support for the interim presidency of venezuela assumed by the president of the national assembly one quite though in compliance with the constitution of venezuela and we the members of the lima group are preparing a fuller written statement which we hope will come out very soon it's an important

day for venezuela and i'm grateful for the solidarity of the lima group in speaking out on this and why will this regional solidarity benefit one why go was original study there it's about it's not complete sort of there is in the region because you have important states like mexico or a cue ball your way or not supporting one way though and this position movement and also there is more to this in the region i mean on the one hand you have the u.s. saying you know we're fully supporting him but the u.s. one important buyer of an assault on the oil so i think we have to serve very carefully what other powers are doing like china russia who have very strong interests in venezuela so it's not of the i mean the in the regional support what does it mean and. more than the diplomatic intentions

there's not more until now and even europe is playing a very weak grohl. if i have to put it clearly they're getting a little bit just with with yet statements but you have people dying right now at this moment in a sort of government this killing people protesting. defending democracy that is not more existant in venezuela when you have just to put a label on mother or mother is that the take to the elections as to last year were not fair and were not transparent and that's what why one way they'll claimed himself according to the constitution of as well as the press and so you have. and you have a very weak. international community trying to or claiming that they are helping but the u.s. is the best example you know still making business ok in a lot of ways the country's military power broker right now they're backing him a girl but there has been a revolt by the national guard this week are significant elements of the military

prepared to back want quite oh. sure the military is always in such a consolation a key issue and we have had on monday this small revolt. if i have to put it very clear no they're not beckoning the opposition right now because mother has. his finger on the oil and his finger on the trigger also because this oil money is spreading into the military so the military received support from a during this revolt on monday it showed something interesting anyway it was that those militaries after they gave up they were dialoguing with higher ranks and they were saying that their situation was. really suffering from from shortages and the military also so that could be a key issue but until today the military is supporting nicolas maduro who has his

finger on the notary and the oil good way of putting it. does from d.j. view latin america thanks very much for coming in today now focus on the other stories making the news this hour pope francis has arrived in panama where some one hundred thousand people have gathered for world youth day. francis will lead the catholic faithful at the used vessel he's expected to speak out strongly in the fence of central american migrants during the about. turkish president edge of tyler perry one says he and russia's vladimir putin are on the same page regarding the planned safe zone in northern syria that safe zone would be a buffer between turkey and kurdish fighters who everyone sees as terrorists at the talks in moscow the pair about to coordinate their actions more closely in syria. u.s. president donald trump will postpone his state of the union address until after the partial government shutdown is over falls

a standoff with house of representatives speaker nancy pelosi announced of the house would not provide the traditional space for that speech during the shutdown. the german foreign minister heiko mosses in the u.s. to kickstart a new phase in the country's foreign policy efforts namely its new two year tenure at the u.n. security council mosse met with u.s. secretary of state my pay was part of germany's bid to play a more active international role after the talks weighed in on the dispute between russia and the u.s. over intermediate range nuclear missiles last fall for moscow to reveal the range of its newest weapons. did have you correspondent marsh waiter is following the german foreign minister's visit to the us. heiko moss a stop in washington d.c. was in part to try to salvage a disintegrating nuclear treaty between the u.s. and russia but it was also part of a short goodwill tour that he's on promoting germany's brand of multilateralism and

affirming the country's position as a negotiator on the world stage especially as germany prepares to recede to one of the coveted seats on the un security council this means for the next two years germany is going to be playing a much bigger more prominent role on the world stage but most of his visit was really to show one key thing that even as ties at the top levels of various countries strain and break the ministers and secretaries of state can still work together as are heard there from germany takes up its nonpermanent member of the u.n. security council the beginning of the year and berlin has big plans for what it wants to achieve in the security council. this is the fifth time germany has had a place on the u.n. security council and other teen years in the diplomatic hot seat means taking sides on some tough issues as foreign minister heiko mass recognized when germany was

elected last summer. we want to live up to this responsibility we don't want to shy away from difficult decisions we want to stand up and be counted five of the canon . diplomats of the foreign ministry in berlin have ambitious plans they want the un to react to know when conflicts develop such as those in syria or ukraine. and they want to use their seat in new york to prevent being stationed in germany in the event that the united states pulls out of the i.n.f. missile treaty. positions like bees could require tough talk and a readiness to follow it up with action with decision had started being a member of the security council means you don't always have time to hold a meeting in berlin or think things over and you have to be clear in advance how you want to position yourself then you have to vote will have to say which side we're on the can then perhaps the trickiest part of germany is u.n.

mission could be the european dimension with belgium and poland currently also on the security council alongside permanent members france and britain the e.u. is well represented germany wants europe to speak with one voice ultimately to hold a joint seat at that time will inevitably face resistance from countries that worry about losing influence. and in the era of donald trump multilateral institutions like the u.n. have themselves been called into question mark on germany will try to use its seat at the table to restore trust. it mysen these that we have to defend order with our friends and partners but we also have to deal with those who don't see things as germany does dismiss guns as in. plenty of battles for germany to face over the coming two years. it's to turkey now where human rights groups believe some seven

hundred children are in prison after their mothers were convicted on what activists are mostly political grounds one such child is the two year old meraz his mother is a kurdish activist jailed on charges of spreading terrorist propaganda meraz lives with her and twelve other women in a cell it's only on weekends that the children get a taste of life outside a prison cell. said today's the day the fathers pick up their children at the gates of the gibson prison the digital ones can spend a day or two in freedom. and takes his two year old son mira's home every weekend the total is already gotten used to leaving his mother behind. the ad for a kurds his mother has been active for an opposition party with links to the kurds that was enough to get her a four year sentence. we can just be glad to jail isn't that far away. and we can pick the children up now and there. is.

a bar has joined up with other fathers whose wives are doing time for political offenses. in my wife's case it was because of social media comments and for that she was sentenced. on terrorist propaganda charges or lawyer told us that normally statements like that shouldn't be liable to prosecution. but they've changed the laws. as a result of the new anti terrorism laws mirrors and his mother good and now sharing this bank in a cell with over a dozen other inmates. has only a small concrete prison yard to play in. so the first place near us wants to go to is a playground and play like a normal child for a few hours mere hours will have to get through two years like this.

on the night don't want him to think his mother's abandoning him he doesn't understand that she's locked up we can only hope that he doesn't end up traumatized you. currently over seven hundred small children are thought to be living with their mothers in turkish prisons the figure comes from the few non-governmental organizations able to work with the affected families they said that for the state these children don't exist. in. the present us and there are not at all qualified to respond to the needs of small children. and the government can't even tell us which prisons have children in them and how many. of the weekend. now mira's has to return to his mother in prison the separation is always hard. he's

worried what will be in store for his son in there this time and who will his wife and child have to share this cell with. the postman looking there all the mercy of their cell mates tolerance. they might complain if crying isn't night. fifteen women sleep in one cell things like that tend to haunt you and. he doesn't want me to notice that he's worried they say they goodbyes at the gibson prison gates. i think either come on we're going to mama but you. behind the gate has to stop a has to hand him over to god once again. we have some sports now and at the australian open tennis tournament the last of the men's quarterfinal matches took place on wednesday with novak djokovic advancing to the

they're safely in a life raft the. chance to survive much greater because there are slopes from the cold war to the aircraft of salah and the pilots on board took off from the french city of numbed on monday evening headed for cardiff but the plane disappeared from radar on passing the channel islands. a millionaire salah only signed as a cardiff player from known for on saturday he said he couldn't wait to get started but had to turn to friends to say farewell to his team mates media reports of revealed the last what's app messages sent to friends and family i'm on the plane it looks like it's falling apart if an hour and a half you do not hear from me i do not know if they will send someone to pick me up because they will not find me i'm scared non-fans have been honoring twenty eight year old salah in what has become his adopted city back home in argentina sallust father was devastated let me with that wish it for me i spoke to him on

angela merkel appeared more than happy to promote her agenda in the crowded hall in davos. east although i think we should understand our national interest in a way that we think about the interest of others and from that create win win situations that are the precondition for multilateralism oath that since i'm with you lots of. that was apparently aimed at politicians like donald trump who put the interests of their own country first if japan's prime minister shinzo ave also made it clear in davos he remains committed to open markets no growth without free trade ave focused above all on digitization and borderless data traffic the engine for growth if you think about it it's few that. no longer by gut feeling but born more by this tell data the hustle and

bustle in davos is international as usual but the atmosphere is more subdued brix it climate change stronger nationalism instead of the world improving the future seems increasingly uncertain the trade conflict between china and the usa hasn't been resolved either and china is pleading for a reprieve and we did you see the u.s. and chinese economies can't live without each other that's already your reality so the conclusion is that the relationship must be mutually beneficial and when when. cooperation serves the interests of both sides while confrontation harms them this is a basic principle. everything sounds reasonable improve the world treat each other fairly everyone here agrees but the world outside of davos looks different.

well for more let's bring in. the world economic forum in davos ben let's pick up on what the chinese vice president said there initially u.s. president donald trump wanted to talk trade with the chinese in davos now as we know the u.s. delegation didn't show up other still attends to make progress in the u.s. china trade conflict though. there are attempts from both sides christophe it was interesting two years ago here in davos xi jinping the chinese leader gave a fantastic speech at least that's what pundits he has said they were lapping up and giving lapping up every word he said and giving him so much rope applause he said that they would be global champions of globalization basically stepping into the role that the us was opening up for them by starting to follow this line of protectionism then a year later mr trump came here and gave the closing speech and said certain countries are taking advantage of the system alluding of course to china so neither

naming the other but now the fight even though it's being fought on a lower diplomatic level with my comp a.o. the secretary of state joining davos via video link has become very personal and very direct he called china the leader and he said a solution could be found if they start working together and if the chinese accept the principles of fair and open trade and also intellectual property rights protecting intellectual property rights one key shot and then said sure we can work together but we can't blame each other i don't know who you're going to blame though but the chinese expert in trade he did say that while the president back two years ago was saying basically that this is all about or alluding at least to this all being about politics this trade war is now forcing him to focus on the

economics. of business. how's this dispute between china and the united states affecting them. well it's affecting them directly and there are companies already making moves companies like foxconn the chinese manufacturing giant which manufactures apple's i phones thinking about moving factories to places like vietnam and india to get around the tariffs countries as well comic has also shifting their production in countries as well feeling the effects who are represented here like a straight a for example it's wine maker is being hurt it's homeowners it's currency i'll be talking to the finance minister matteis coleman later on today also be talking to the economist david autor who says that he believes they won't be a solution in the coming weeks when china and the us meet again for trade talks and we probably won't get a solution this year this is something that's going to be with us for years he says

and then two days of this year's world economic forum are over what did we learn so far about the state of the world and how to improve it well if you open up the papers here you get some interesting headlines like elites without and says the world economic forum fuel the very problems it's trying to solve and it's interesting to see some of the figures that the world economic forum has been printing like fourteen percent less private jet use this year here in davos which is great for the environment sure one percent more women participating in the forum which is really only baby steps and also the quotes from klaus schwab who organizes this whole jabouri saying things like we need to include the people who have been left out because of globalization but they've been left out because of the very policies set here in davos

a lot of people scratching their heads in davos and his own reporting from the world economic forum ben thank you. microsoft's search engine being has been blocked in china it is the latest u.s. technology service to land on the wrong side of the country so-called great fire wall other online giants like facebook twitter and google are also inaccessible china has tightened its control of the internet a recent year shutting down thousands of websites and in leaving millions of posts deemed to contain quote vulgar content authorities have also cracked down on the use of virtual private networks or v.p.n. . users i.p.s. says. you're watching the news coming to will be back at the top of the hour thanks for watching.
