3:05 pm

3:06 pm
going to swell up. so in history a key role in politics in latin america not only because oil. then as well was very important more cressy and it's a big concrete with a lot of relationship going in the last twenty years venezuela in korea's. position in latin america and also are on the war. that there is a reason because russia has to support the position of an as well in latin america and an international institutional night of mention in my duty was of course outrageous at the u.s. for recognizing the interim president and the moderator wants to expel all the u.s. diplomats from the country how do you see this playing out this is the big issue right now in caracas because this is maybe in this chess we are playing
3:07 pm
now in venezuela maybe diffuse issue of one why though how to do with this position oh my poor old mother i want to expel the american diplomatic of the country and why do or say no you can stay here with us with us so that we will see in the next hour or so maybe the next day is there really so movement position in the international politics so the confrontation is taking place at many lives in one critical aspect of this whole crisis is the role of the venezuelan on me where does it stand that is the big question and the situation in venezuela and the only support of the mother rose government so everybody's waiting for the movement in the army and we don't really know what is happening behind the scene and the military positions and this is maybe in the next day we could have saw. a lot of surprise. maybe not and because of development of the situation in the
3:08 pm
country so what is it a very fluid situation at the moment but the next few days of going to be critical for the future of the country maybe they are worse yes this is a fair thank you very much for that assessment now member states if they leave a group whose members all south and north american nations have been commenting on the venezuela crisis eleven out of the forty nine nation group have come out in support of the opposition leader here's what some of them said i want to express that colombia recognizes juan why do as president of venezuela and supports this transition process towards democracy so the venezuelan people are liberated from dictatorship. but i kept blowing as well arnold said you had a. movie or i have recognized required and why go as venezuelan president. you will brazil together with all other countries come pricing that
3:09 pm
leave the group of which are recognizing this fact we will give all political support to take this process to an end to this year 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 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 solitary of the lima group in speaking out on this. the streets but also online the venezuelan diaspora is taking to social media to chime in on what's happening in their homeland while mcdougall supporters are also using the power of online platforms. media editor is tracking all of that for us and she joins me now
3:10 pm
welcome for the what are you seeing. so we're seeing that this team a do or uprising really is as loud on social media as it is in the streets and it has spread far beyond venezuela itself and we're we've seen demonstrations in several cities around the world and that's also because the economic situation and political situation in venezuela has forced a lot of people to flee the country towards latin america the u.s. and even europe and so since yesterday we've seen that this huge they ask for a is coming together disses brazil sao paolo across south america this is mexico city for example we've also seen demonstrations in new york and also here in europe and that's london and also in spain which is home to an estimated two hundred thousand venezuelans this was the scene at the iconic quit that is so in spain the capital madrid this woman was one of the people there in madrid and she wrote joy
3:11 pm
and hope mixed with a desire to return to my country that's what i experienced in the point that is so in madrid tomorrow sunrise will be prettier painted with a brighter color and the u.n. estimates that there's about three million venezuelans that have a tooth had to flee their country in the last few years and this exodus really is one of the biggest mass displacements in the history of latin america and then now a lot of these venezuelans why they hope this is a turning point and that maybe they'll be able to go back it seems but because it even social media companies have got involved in this mix it's that's true and actually i can show you something quite interesting. and you can take a look at the instagram account of the of those this is his official in figure profile you can see instagram has very fired his account now and on the other hand we can take a look at the account of nicolas maduro that's it it has been verified by yes
3:12 pm
that is what they did and this the same is for facebook we can see here the two political facebook accounts the one of what is very five now and the one of my dear isn't anymore and that's a clear a pretty clear sense that absolutely and what was of an incident government how this fighting back well we've seen they have been trying to counter this movement online as well that we saw that we we've seen reports that the internet was partly shut down and that they've been trying to limit access to social media as well and they are also the government is also trying to push some of pro maduro hashtags and two of these hashtags that have been trending. in venezuela over the last hours for example the hashtag go home yankees and we are my duro doe's we're trending on twitter earlier but what is interesting is that a lot of these tweets are not coming from venezuela itself they're actually coming
3:13 pm

3:15 pm
in the coming days according to de w.'s latin american correspondent francis will also talk about the migration crisis from venezuela and the political crisis in the young people from those two countries have come here to panama to hear some words of encouragement from francis. for many here though his presence transcends politics oh my god. well via motions or indescribable it's a brief moment of joy a fulfillment of having our pope that he has lost an american and thinks and talks like us i feel he is very close and parts of my life lots of american power as i told francis will officially open the world youth day later on thursday. now let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild the democratic republic of congo's new president feel it's to see security has used

u.s. and russia's nuclear arms treaty dispute calling on moscow to reveal the range of its newest weapons. you're watching the news coming up ahead growing up behind bars revisit the texas children. and only allowed out at the weekend. but first the european union's chief negotiator who is due in berlin today for talks with the german chancellor michelle obama is expected to flesh out plans with america on how to handle the impasse over britain from europe last night bania gave little encouragement to westminster setting out a tough stance on the impending briggs' a deadline. new deal if we don't. come up the idea is. to stop. the majority.
3:18 pm
we need to emerge. given the political considerations that there is a stunt to do and we. sincerely hope that this process will be successful. let me down join our correspondents in brussels we have go motus and in berlin our chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome to both if you let me start with you a hog riggs it is not just bad for britain it's not good for the e.u. either yet the again and again it will not bunch from its position why not. no deal is better than a bad deal that's what the u.k. said throughout those two and a half years of negotiations on the brakes that divorce treaty and guess what that is also true for the e.u. because nothing less than the integrity of the internal market is at stake and so if the e.u. would now throw all the red lines out of the window allow the u.k.
3:19 pm
to cherrypick give it a much better deal as a third country which the u.k. would become then others would follow in it what in fact in danger the integrity of the internal market so it's not about goodwill it's about hard economic interests here linda michelle bunny is going to be talking to unlamented in about an hour from now what is germany's current position on the state of the dregs of negotiations the chancellor put it quite succinctly yesterday in the speech that she gave at davos which you and i watched together actually she said first of all bracks it has been a shock and people here in berlin remain very sad about the british plans to leave and she went on to say we do want to see an orderly exit if it's going to come to pass let it please be structured let it be according to the rules and she also said that germany very much wants to see ongoing relations with the u.k.
3:20 pm
in a positive light because the u.k. voice is so very important for germany in a whole range of areas so that position i think is absolutely the one she would be representing in these meetings with the new and at the same time i think there's no light no daylight between berlin and brussels on the issues that guilty irish government is not attending the meeting in berlin and yet it's got a huge stake in whether there will be checks at his border with northern ireland but a small. well the republican violin is in an extremely difficult situation here on the one hand they have to be concerned about the peace process along the border to the north of the republic of through the north of the island of ireland so northern ireland which is part of the u.k. then they have close economic ties so a lot of economic interests are at stake and at the same time they will be the e.u.
3:21 pm
member states that will have to put up some form of physical barriers to check goods coming into the internal market because from day after a hard break they will be an extra nl border a spokesperson of the commission confirmed that this week again heartbreaks it will mean a hard border and it will mean some form of controls and they will have to be conducted by the republic of ireland how do melinda why is michelle bania meeting with the german chancellor in that building behind in the chancery when it appears that neither the e.u. nor the german government up prepared to offer the u.k. any concessions. well michele brown you did say in advance of this meeting here today that he sees some leeway to leave the door open to a more constructive future relationship relationship in a section of the agreement that will that will essentially constitute exit that is not the treaty itself so it's not the divorce papers as it were but in the
3:22 pm
political declaration that will essentially precede that treaty as a kind of a preamble and that political deck or declaration sets out some principles that the e.u. would like to see as governing future relations with britain and he indicated that there he hopes that they could leave the door open and as i mentioned the chancellor says she is very much looking for constructive ongoing relations with the u.k. so perhaps they're hoping to work out some kind of wording for that political declaration that could provide great britain could provide parliament some bridge to cross in looking for perhaps faces saving but it's certainly for measures that could allow some flexibility that is a very long shot however absolutely linda crane chief political correspondent in berlin and your glottis from brussels vera thank you both very much.

3:42 pm
hash out a deal to exit the new was if they don't make the comments first at the what is known from. davos trade as a big topic at the meeting in the swiss alps which are focused on global investment and development. now the us china trade war has weighed on global markets but also on the mood and atmosphere here at the world economic forum where many are worried about the future of global trade here to discuss that with me is maria. she is the former trade minister of indonesia and a university professor of economics at the university of indonesia welcome mr yes to this. so my first question is now would you consider indonesia a winner or a loser in the u.s. china trade war we hardly ever talk about the neighbors well i think net net i think we would be more of a loser in the sense that. the uncertainties that are created with the trade war is
3:43 pm
causing global trade slowdown all over the place and also the fact that china is our largest trading partner our number one export destination so we are more worried about the impact of the trade war on china. and china's slowdown and therefore the demand for our exports and the fact that it is destructing global value change and therefore affecting the investment climate there's a lot of be a lot of investors are holding off on investments that's kind of the more negative side but on the positive side there is kind of this relocation. happening or at least being planned and to the extent that you as a country already have factories that are that can be relocated the production can be relocated from china to your country and then export to the u.s. to overcome the terrorists then you are in a better position or for future investment we are sort of hoping a little bit about that but i think we would rather the trade would be resolved but
3:44 pm
is it possible that these relocation of companies these positive effects cancel out the potential negative effects of the weakening of your largest trade partner china i don't think so i think the global value chains are very complex and they've been built over you know many years and the disruption of it is going to i think lead to a lot of perhaps increased anxiety or tensions even within the region and that will it will take time to rebuild the global very chains so i think at the end of and then you don't know what the u.s. is going to do is it how long are the terrorism going to be there and so on and so forth so i think i think it's it's it's going to have some relocation effect but not for the right reasons not for efficiency complementary in resource allocation and the right reasons for for the relocation and i think in the long run that's not going to be good for us as a country assess the region or globally. speaking to

the nation economist. davos which has fifteen thousand hotel beds would be enough. when the world economic forum circus comes to town but like every year some prefer to camp out in tents that are no ordinary campus their team of polar is their aim to draw attention to climate change issues using replica of an arctic base most people in davos this week live in warm hotels but there are exceptions polar scientists the team of fifteen international researchers and crew have been camping here in subzero temperatures for the past few days and nights the worst part of sleeping in the tent is actually getting any sleep in back in the morning because when you actually back into the cold you you leave your warm little cocoon and into the cold but the residents of this arctic
3:46 pm
base camp are not camping out just to cut costs from a science perspective we try to give the reality check we try to give the evidence which is without question worrying the arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet those change the scene right across the arctic. the team of been setting up their replica of an arctic base camp for three years now in davos using the space to host the vents about climate change and sustainability. according to the researchers economic interest on protecting the environment do not have to be at odds i know he has. the full cost of climate change is in the trillions of us dollars without question that if we continue business as usual it will be very expensive our data definitely shows from an economic perspective it makes sense to save the arctic sea ice. and the scientists will keep camping out of the form until the global c.e.o. is genuinely warm to their message. here at the world economic forum climate change
