of three dead in brazil south west stocks are down collapses covering the area in a torrent of not roads farmland and homes have been devastated. i'm kind of a home free glad you could join me here opinion is throwing its weight behind the head of venezuela's national assembly one grade or the bloc says it will recognize him as president unless venezuela calls fresh elections in the coming days or venezuelan government has rejected the call saying it will not be dictated to by foreign nations the u.n. security council's been meeting in an emergency session to discuss the crisis u.s. secretary of state might pay a cold on the wall to support venezuelan protesters but russia's u.n. ambassador says the world should stay out of the crisis moscow and beijing as been among the. nicholas my daughter has changed back. to new york and i

meant to speak with all correspondence first let's hear some of what was said in the council today now it's time for every other nation to pick a side no more delays no more games either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with major and his may i'm going to know if those we want to take the opportunity to say that in this case the us is not behind the coup d'etat. it is in the vanguard of the coup d'etat. it is dictating the orders sort of the nice the urge all parties to refrain from the use of force we called for the organization of free and fair elections with international observers with all candidates allowed to go run for office and until then there is only one credible and legitimate institution and this is the national assembly you surely knew but

it's the venezuela does not represent a threat to peace and security if anything represents a threat to peace it is the actions of the united states and its allies aimed at the ouster of the legitimately elected president of venezuela. and you have any correspondent on assad has attended the session of the security council in new york from where he joins me now all of the u.s. secretary of state might pompei are calling on countries that back kwaito which members of the council will recognize that cooler which will not. well there were several nations here that were not even in favor discussing the issue of the topic of venice here in an emergency meeting at the security council and among them are countries like china south africa but first and foremost a russia really who had a very aggressive stance and position here. and it all came down to a showdown really between russia and the countries i've mentioned and the united

states and its western partners india and the strategy of russia here was to like narrow that down as if it was just an american u.s. american problem which is just according to the russian view of following its geopolitical interests in latin america that the united states wants to extend its impact there in the region and it's just after the venezuelan oil interesting lee if you take a closer look into the relations between venezuela and russia you will see that russia invested billions of dollars in recent years into venezuela support of the model region with their weapons they just very recently delivered two aircraft to venezuela and in turn delivered oil to russia so what we saw here today was two very close allies and russia standing by its ally much dural often the soil and meanwhile on of germany need to the security council and yet we hearing

a rather strong tone from germany on this tell us more about that. will germany is new to the security council is back with a non-temporal with a temporary seat for two years. and wants its voice to be heard and we saw that very clearly today germany is spec'ing way though you've just mentioned this all tomato in germany wants to push for free elections and support in its way there but germany also raised its voice today several times and it came to a bizarre situation to an exchange of views to almost a battle between the russian ambassador and the german ambassador here and a bizarre situation was when the russian ambassador said or compared the situation in venezuela to the to the to the situation and the protests in france of the yellow vests when twenty thousand people took to the streets and the german

ambassador then you know reply to that saying you can't compare since there are no three million refugees and since there are no undernourished people in france so we had very polarized positions here and germany obviously tried to defend the values of freedom and democracy here at the security council of the united nations do you have any correspondent on a sonnet a new york thank you. rescuers in brazil all searching for around three hundred people who are all still missing off to friday's down. at an iron ore mine in the southwest of the country well the death toll currently stands at thirty four. brazil's new president has flown over the affected area and promised a full investigation rescuers say they're not optimistic that they will find many more survive this to the day are the luckier ones the few who have been pulled out of the muck since friday that's when

massacres committed by and last radians against the aboriginal population. reports on the n s it has been following these protests he joins me in the studio to tell us what's behind this hash tag well the hash tag is new but the protests against australia they have a long history one of the first protests was actually in one thousand nine hundred eight for the hundred fiftieth anniversary and then again in one nine hundred eighty eight there was a really big protest to commemorate the bicentennial and by that point they were calling it invasion day and the reason is clear for a lot of aboriginal people for the indigenous population in australia they consider it a day that an invasion on their lands began this is the day when the british came and claimed the territory as their own basically pretending that there was nobody living there despite the fact that there was a civilization artist on the continent one of the process is demanding well there are some protesters who have a problem with the fact that there is a national holiday commemorating what they consider an invasion but other

protesters just point out that why can't we just change the date a date that all australians can celebrate so there is a lot of people on twitter today pointing that out and demanding that australia change they one uses said i still don't get why australia day can't be on a day where everyone can celebrate the entire history of australia not just the last two hundred thirty years another user was pointing out it's obvious why first nations consider it invasion day but i don't understand why engle australians consider the twenty sixth of january an appropriate day for us truly a day they were transported like dogs with into submission and subjected to force later labor what is to celebrate. what is funny out there is that australia was actually established as a penal colony so most of the settlers who came over on the first fleet were prisoners so they've lot of people have proposed an alternative january first one thousand know one was the day that australia became a country but of course that's already taken that's news they say that would be

a problem any response from the government at this stage well the prime minister scott morrison has come up pretty strongly he's called it indulgent self loathing and he's asked why australians want to crab walk away from history from his perspective he says that this would be a denial of what he considers modern australian history which is history of course colonisation some people in the government some green party members have come out. in favor of changing the date and some local city councils have actually officially decided not to celebrate the day for some victories are been won actually because this day has already become a national celebration of indigenous culture right comments and news there which i'm sure will continue to make some traction online following it for us a report on an essay thank you very much indeed.
