7:02 pm
i feel gail welcome to the program. venezuela's president nicolas maduro has won the backing of the military in his standoff with the opposition leader who has proclaimed himself president the chief of the armed forces and defense minister accused. of leading a coup and said the united states and other governments that have recognized him or waging an economic war against venezuela meanwhile president doors key ally russia is also standing by. who was it was a bold move opposition leader one himself in his venezuela's interim president thousands cheered him on he hopes these words can topple president nicolas maduro his government. was i the aim is ending this usurpation and this treasonous government and holding free elections if this happens then let god and the nation reward us. why doe's declaration comes as
7:03 pm
hundreds of thousands rallied across town as well in support of his opposition. they call president maduro is government illegitimate blaming him for the country's economic collapse. but has protests continued violence took hold. several demonstrators have been reported killed amid clashes with police. clamp down on protesters others a heaping pressure on the tour and supporting the competent opposition including president trump who staunchly supported one was venezuela's interim president has tweeted announcement set. venezuelans have spoken out against madeira and his regime and demanded freedom and the rule of law but russia has thrown its weight behind the door of saying that he is the legitimate president and it want the us
7:04 pm
not to stage an external intervention you can just salute who are especially concerned about the signals which are now being received from some countries about possible interference we call on those countries to forget such thoughts it's a good age. for the. president maduro meanwhile hit back at the u.s. by bowing to cut all ties with washington and told all u.s. diplomatic staff to leave the country within seventy two hours a demand the white house rejects the opposition says it has the claim to defend the country from the madeira government and has said that he intends to act as an interim president only until new and fair elections can be held i look at this closer with me to political science is that the american institute here welcome to d w there has been political turmoil in venezuela ever since the door effectively
7:05 pm
came to power but this well call it a coup seems to have come out of nowhere. it did come out of the know where it came by surprise but it came because of the second london prison and to restart it on general eleven and so this is when the opposition and also some of the international actors started to argue that now is was a parade because his second ban it would be based on for the elections in may two thousand and eighteen and so this is why one day i don't know it was here but he is in term president because he is acting and doing what the. venezuelan. people want. and the lace ace. president door has appeared in front of the cheering crowds to remind everyone that he is still in charge how much support does he actually have well it's it's quite
7:06 pm
difficult to say exactly how much support he has but if we take the events of the last few days we can at least say that it doesn't seem as strong as it has been for some years so of course he has still a lot of support but i have the impression that the opposition support is why growing these days it's a people people see a chance and they're. going to try to take it to tell us more than about the new guy. who is a he is young guy he is thirty five years old he comes from quite. simple family background in the countryside so he's not a part of the vns all in all i could see his father is a taxi driver in reverse brain and he has been arguing these days in a quite clever way because he's not trying to to be very aggressive he has a very intelligent the message also through even his own military with my room key
7:07 pm
actor in these verses the usa is very much are getting behind this man to do we just do expect the west to back their war words with military action i hope will not do that because this would be exactly but europe has been saying for many years that they are preparing a lot against him and so they should and they should base all actions on diplomacy we will russia is strongly supporting the majority why is that in there in russia's interests or all this because russia has a lot of investment in the venezuelan oil and gas industry especially during the last few years. but of course president putin is always interested in creating turmoil in the western hemisphere and western democracies and so i think this is
7:08 pm
all the very strong argument for him to to stand by maduro so the army has said they back president but during that must be very reassuring for him that's. one of the most important factors because hot today the secretary of defense. told people he is in the military is defending the people. and the government but the question will be when the this social turmoil continues as. if the national guard and what the military going to do will they act against people i i don't know i think there's some hope that they won't look at us we will talk again about this in the near future for now for you to bow from the american institute about it thank you so much. events in venezuela threaten to overshadow the pope's visit to nearby panama which is one of the countries this is recognised and his friends self
7:09 pm
proclaimed interim leader pope francis is in panama to celebrate world youth day which continues until sunday after meeting with president juan carlos of the presidential palace spoke out against corruption and urged public officials in the region to live simple honest lives take you live to panama in just a moment first they should. have died anything for a glimpse of the first latin american pope. on the boulevards of panama capital as some see only excitement was palpable. which almost the office of a nation it's my first time seeing the pope's a place it's such a great experience i feel blessed. and i feel great happiness it's really great that everyone is on the streets and people from abroad are here all the cultural share a common space so it's really good food as hacienda would like to see at them
7:10 pm
waving. yeah pope francis is here in panama to preside over world youth day the catholic church is yearly celebration that's brought an estimated one hundred fifty thousand participants from around the world. but the focus will likely be on the entire region francis has previously spoken of the plight of central american migrants and human rights have been a major theme of his papacy meanwhile the political crisis in venezuela is escalating with instability possibly driving even more people to leave that country in the coming days according to the 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 trying. sans politics. well vietnam ations are
7:11 pm
indescribable it's a brief moment of joy a fulfillment of having. that he has lost an american and things like us i feel he is very close and parts of my life lots of american power as. pope francis will officially open world youth day later on thursday. to panama city that when we join didn't do correspondence a family homes a routine a welcome so that the pope's visit coincides with this turmoil and panama's neighborhood on its way and people expecting him to comment on the situation that. might be on the our behalf and. that is really not so far it is merely comedy. of the event that later on people may finally you know that it is expecting him to keep waiting for the last. few hundred let me repeat
7:12 pm
it if i would like to talk about. that and not only have a look at it now. but he will most probably talk about that and it was my great right and proper to get it done. and why did he say to to let to panama about corruption what has been the response. by the look and when you're not all that is getting it right with your. former partner and the big. bang and zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero am when i'm at boarding. elector later on on here and on the new. line. calling from i do this in the most transparent and. writes i will admit that i think their homes others in paloma city thank you so much.
7:13 pm
and apologies for that you have poor sound quality that let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump says he's pissed but he states of the union address until after the partial government shutdown is over as far as the standoff of the house of representatives speaker nancy pelosi who said the house would not provide the traditional space for the speech until after the shutdown. because ukraine has sentenced former president fifty other coverts a first years in prison for treason he was tried in absentia the coach said he was to get a code which seen here in october footage of the open the door to russia's annexation of crimea and the conflict in eastern ukraine following mass protests against his government in twenty forty he fled to russia. european union suppress it because here to show body has been holding talks with germany's chancellor i'm going to my
7:14 pm
home and then step down yeah he said that there is no question of the e.u. giving ground on the irish border issue which has been a key sticking point in the present negotiations for. business is now with stephen beardsley on the story of an important european senior manager who's losing his patience with the british government. us boss tom enders he is spoke candidly about britain's divorce from the e.u. in a video message to his employees he said that of course if the two sides can't come to an agreement and avoid a no deal then a lot of business is at stake especially from his business the aircraft manufacturer could withdraw its operations from great britain alison bricks it is frightening to destroy a century of development based on education research and human capital. if there's no deal breakers that we have there both will have to make potentially very harmful decisions for u.k.
7:15 pm
decisions about workers eleven thousand five hundred work directly for air bus in britain they build the aircraft's wings here if you count all the affected suppliers britain counts one hundred thousand valuable industrial jobs in the aviation sector that are in danger from brakes it. don't listen to the brakes it is madness which asserts that because we have huge plants here we will not move and we will always be here they are all so there are plenty of countries over there who would love to build the wings for elbows aircraft airbus is actually a success story the cross border cooperation between germany france spain and great britain has produced a globally successful aircraft manufacturer briggs it will throw a monkey wrench into the system and great britain once the spearhead of aviation is on its way to in significance according to the airbus c.e.o. andor says the blame lies with the politicians. it is
7:16 pm
a disgrace that moment to us off the restart of the twenty sixteen referendum businesses are still unable to plan properly for the future and we along with many of our peers have repeatedly called for clarity but we still have no idea what is really going on here let's go now to correspondent javier gave us he's standing by live for us in davos where the world economic forum meetings are taking place and brags it has been one of the themes there javier is there any reaction to this story from air bus. well of course there is great concern stephen because let's not forget that one of the main issues at stake here at the world economic forum is the future of international and multilateral cooperation and airbus is definitely the flagship if you will in the european union off this international cooperation let's not forget that the reason
7:17 pm
why airbus is working the way it works manufacturing some parts in different parts of european countries is because all national companies that were in charge of aircraft design and manufacturing at some point realized that they couldn't cope with the competition if they worked alone that's why they worked together and created airbus as a project in the first place and the realisation that they cannot do so if they work separately which is exactly what the c.e.o. is now saying that of course is a reason for concern because it could reflect how the post breaks that european union will look like. and a hub you're going to serve a different subject here dutch prime minister mark reuss a warning today in a panel there in davos about a growing rift between northern and southern european nations working tell us about that. well he was clearly referring to the budget disputes that we have seen in recent months in the european union let's not forget
7:18 pm
that italy just got an approval for a budget that exceeds the limits previously established by the european union and in the netherlands there is complains about that and that is comprehensible because they say we are making adjustments to comply with the rules of the european union while italy for example is having special permissions and if that continues it will not only endanger the form of cooperation of the european union but of course also create some type of rivalry between the people of the netherlands and italy and he sees that exact same situation happening with other countries in the north and in the south and briefly have if you can a lot of these narratives are very big here in davos from a private retirement trade is there anything we're overlooking the you're seeing there on the ground. well maybe some of the issues that are more ahead in the future that are not being discussed because of the present issues that are so latin and so imminent but for example one of the topics
7:19 pm
that i consider were very interesting is the fact that with the artificial intelligence overtaking many of the technologies there will be new debates about for example discrimination done by robots not people that will be of severe importance especially considering that there is the notion that the first and second industrial revolution actually left for example the poorer or african countries for example behind and if this continues if the technology changes are led by the countries that are more powerful this could also lead to civil or problems that we now see with humans with machines in the future steve so lucky but on there and again it's there for us live thank you havea. and we'll have more business later in the show but now back to phil thank you very much stephen some experts are describing it as hostage politics in just over a month for western men have been targeted by china's security services the latest
7:20 pm
arrest is that of australian author yang hang john who was detained while visiting china days before chinese court sentenced a canadian robert lloyd to shell of to death for a drug smuggling conviction. last year and late last year two other canadians former diplomat michael covert and businessman michael space were arrested and charged with espionage the timing of these detentions is significant following as they do qantas arrests of ways chief financial officer. she's wanted by the united states for violating sanctions against iran china denies its crackdown on foreigners is retaliation for. the beijing's actions have been met with fierce international condemnation. is this the latest in a global power game spy novelist and blogger a young from june was a chinese diplomat before he became an australian citizen he flew from new york to last week where he mysteriously dropped off the grid friends raised the alarm when
7:21 pm
he couldn't be contacted. china at first denied all knowledge of his whereabouts but now officials have confirmed young is in residential detention in beijing and has been charged with endangering state security. australia is demanding consular access at the earliest opportunity it's also seeking urgent clarification as to whether young's detention is linked to canada's a wrist of top quality executive mung one joe in december. china has detained several foreigners since then widely seen as retaliation. astray and foreign minister marie spain sees no evidence of a connection for the moment i'd be concerned if there was any indication of that so we are calling on the chinese authorities to ensure that this matter is dealt with transparently and fairly from sean egan a friend of young says the arrest is clearly linked to what he calls beijing's
7:22 pm
hostage diplomacy because of the of the case. i believe they are us in is he pope. exercise. or are they the government on the government of nicer place and government where. this man one more one better. china's recent detention of foreign nationals is straining its international relations but beijing appears determined to play hardball in a high stakes dispute with the west. and germany took up and see it as a nonpermanent member of the united nations security council at the start of this year it's not the start germany's first time in this position but this time it's different but it has big plans for its two years at the top table. this is the sixth time germany has had a seat on the u.n.
7:23 pm
security council and other teen years in the diplomatic hot seat means taking sides on some tough issues as foreign minister heiko must recognize when germany was elected last summer. if you 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 miss being stationed in germany in the event that the united states pulls out of the i.n.f. missile treaty. positions like means could require tough talk and a readiness to follow it up with action committee 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 you have to be clear in advance how you
7:24 pm
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 un 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 germany will try to use its seat at the table to restore trust it mysen these 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 doesn't this councils in. plenty of battles for germany to face of the coming two
7:25 pm

of staging. protests to stop of course also been taking their views online the venezuelan diaspora has taken to social media to comment on events back home on the door of supporters are also making that view in cyberspace the social media editor for the project has been tracking all of the noise a welcome what are you saying. so this is my bureau uprising really is as loud on social media as it is in the streets and it's spread far beyond venezuela itself we've seen demonstrations in different cities across the world that's also because a lot of business with us have fled the country in recent years and we have seen that there have been since yesterday like this they asked for a huge they asked for a really has come together and this is for instance paolo in brazil we've seen demonstrations across south america where most of the exiles live this is mexico city then across the u.s.

7:33 pm
quite interesting actually we can see what is a grim and facebook have done their way of saying who they stand with and this is the instagram account of one why don't and he has been given the very fight symbol on the other hand that of nicolas maduro here we can see it looks like he has been downgraded they have unverified accounts now and the same goes for the to politicians facebook pages so those now verified my dear is very five this is the way facebook and instagram are saying you know their to their message and what is the venezuelan government are they fighting back i mean they're trying also online and we've seen reports that there has the internet has been partly shut down over the last few days in an effort to silence protests the government is also pushing a number of tags and that we have seen that there were two hashtags in particular
7:34 pm
that were trending on twitter earlier go home yankees and we are maduro however we do not believe these i really resent it of all of the mood in venezuela and one of the reasons is that a lot of these pro my duro tweets are not coming from venezuela or business will and they're coming from turkey and we're not sure yet why what's behind this we do know that the turkish government has spoken out in support of my dura but we have to keep digging to really understand what's the connection while the streets are coming from turkey what's the real connection there what you keep digging and come back and let us know what you guys think about just thank you you thank. to the democratic republic of congo now i have a new president fixtures ikeda was sworn into office a short time ago in front of thousands of supporters to use his inaugural speech to call for reconciliation comes to believe all political prisoners present it to the qaeda succeeds joseph kabila who is in power for eighteen years but the election
7:35 pm
was marred by allegations of fraud it's the first peaceful transition of power. since the country gained independence in one thousand nine hundred sixty. let's get more on this from my journalist live in atlanta who joins us on the line from kinshasa welcome to you let's talk about the president's actions the c.c.s. followed up his warm words on these calls for reconciliation with action. is heard of as well margaret with action well rick we're going to that remains to be seen you made me to rising speech there you were going great and they were like this. one point the fire is actually broken down and all of his supporters managed to get in the area they couldn't go through it quite chaotic but yeah if you get your maturity political prisoners from a united congress you want fighting and they can try to. you know there's a feeling of optimism there's a trigger to change of regime of in years people are expected. to tell us more
7:36 pm
about them the man who is president feel extra security. critical for katie where he is the son of a very charismatic politician etienne tshisekedi guy two years ago if you're entitled to him and he was so popular that the government wouldn't let his family bring back his body to his pig body still languishing to this day in a morgue and belgium for today's thought and bring it back to the country might spark a rebellion because he was the populist. his father. who was accepted to congress for a decade and felix went into exile in belgium when he was age twenty two with his mother and his siblings and he spent much of his much was like those. people complain that he has and i don't have a huge amount of money generally experience you have had a huge amount of work experience or you haven't held sort of high positions in general in any kind of job and people people worry about that. one of his amazing
7:37 pm
defeated opponents martin for you in a sense that he was cheated out of the election and accuses president just kind of making some sort of a backroom deal with the old president joseph kabila is he going to get a high in the new man. i don't think so it sounds like he doesn't want to work with such a case you see yes exactly as you said there was there was leaked details that showed for you the one with sixty percent of the votes or he sort of won a landslide victory but the victory was given to katie who allegedly will be more likely to cooperate which is a popular and indeed he's already made of conciliatory noises could be that he's called an important partner he's going to have to work with him because it could be that people have a majority in parliament and for you i think he doesn't so far i think you haven't shown any signs that he will be part of that. i think he's serious with the situation he feels like the very question from him and he doesn't want to be part
7:38 pm
of the new government. in its hands for joining us on the back landing in kinshasa . thank you. tourists in times capital bangkok are reasons to be grateful to the city's treasure hunters recover the cameras and mobile phones that visitors drop in the river and they make a precarious living from dredging the river but now it's under threat from the city authorities. man on scars home looks a bit like an antique store. he can sell everything you sell features from the previous straight away it's best to collect as much as possible before looking for a buyer. but it doesn't always include anything of real value. if i find something underwater that i think could be gold i buy. most models have a bitter taste but gold doesn't taste of anything it's heavy smoke. or gold
7:39 pm
breastplate is the most valuable thing i ever found. it was seven years ago after the twenty floods her thirteen hundred euros for the price of all this ring for eight hundred euros. that was a while ago. modern lives in a house on stilts directly on the river. the settlement is called. it was built around a hundred years ago miners grandfather was one of the first inhabitants. today the floating village of me to come is home to about one hundred twenty people most of the men are treasure divers like mana. manas eleven year old goes to school and his wife you we is the chambermaid in the hotel. she used to go out with him when he went diving but only as a lookout traditionally women don't dive themselves.
7:40 pm
when you meet it's not women's work unless you're especially brave. the thought of being underwater scares. me i don't know what's down the shards of glass nails. my husband is an experienced diver. but i still worry every time he goes diving. into die from hispaniola it's the only skill he has. his home a diving helmet is the most important piece of equipment it weighs over twenty kilos. his puppet puts the heavy helmets on his head. and then he's all. the way so it was just him straight and. they serious that is he under would.
7:41 pm

7:42 pm
a big theme at davos those in africa in particular where the focus is on increasing investment and employment and lowering inequality our correspondent javier organise is live in davos to tell us more. thank you very much stephen indeed as you just mentioned the african countries have always been in the spotlight in the world economic forum but especially in recent years and they are also being i had by many of the international institutions present here we are now delighted to have the president of the european bank for reconstruction and development so much about the thank you very much for joining us tonight i'd like to ask you about the general strategy of your institution because people normally related to eastern europe i know that you operate in other regions but you're now i subsaharan africa for your expansion what make you make you take that decision and consider that strategy it's not a decision yet first of all it's actually idea that we need to explore to investigate and think about why so because e.b.i.t. has been so successful and focus on the private sector in such an eastern europe as
7:43 pm
you said but in central asia and in turkey cyprus and greece and now middle east north africa and we've scaled up with very very successful in the middle east north africa particularly and the question arises even if we do more in these countries i want us to do more in these existing countries we still have the capital capacity and the expertise the model the business model to take that to where the challenges of greatest in terms of economic opportunity in development people say sub-saharan africa is a development that's the place where the biggest challenges anybody i think we should study whether we have the right business model to do that that now i've talked to some of the entrepreneurs are for sub-saharan african countries and he has criticized at least one of them the fact that western institutions often don't research enough and actually try to implement models suggest reforms for example in exchange for some programs without really knowing how these countries work what is
7:44 pm
your assessment do you share that view and if so what are you doing to prevent that where while you consider this decision well it's certainly a great danger any institution that isn't present in a country will make assumptions that it's just like any other place of course all countries afraid of. front but they all have some similarities in terms of investment climate needs private or development needs and we worked in such a variety of countries we stretch of morocco to mongolia from a stone year to egypt these are very very different countries and also let's not forget if we were in sub-saharan africa it's not a homogenous place it's a very different countries different needs so what we do is we study each country in depth we have country stretches which are tailored to the country we have stuff in the country as well as our headquarters in london and we try to bring all that together we don't say as one size fits all we actually really really trying to tailor what we do to each country's needs here at the world economic forum this year particularly international institutions have been on the spotlight in general the models for international cooperation even the german chancellor has called for
7:45 pm
