practice under the eyes of president nicolas maduro it took place at fort paramount in two thousand and seventeen a group of soldiers rose up against the government this time it was about showing loyalty. are you plotting a coup. or are you constitutionalists. traitors never always loyal. to their. murderous sees the hand of western governments behind opposition protests he says they're trying to overthrow him he knows the military is key to staying in power the opposition leader wants why though is trying to convince the military to join his side following a church service for victims of violent street clashes he made a direct appeal to. the venezuelan soldiers i'm talking to you this is the moment to be on the constitution side. don't be afraid no.

supporters are spreading out across the country going to army barracks to spread the word. has proposed an amnesty i don't have a bid to convince venezuelan soldiers to join the opposition. none of the soldiers wants to be seen switching sides on camera one says that the military is still firmly on the side of manure i wanted why don't his supporters hope that this will change in the coming days. they don't know much when out of well straight to the venezuelan capital caracas that's where we find that the correspondent welcome. important military has declared its backing for president but doro so what might prompt them to switch. well i was a strong supporter in the military because i reckon officers have

a huge economic and political interest in misrata and they also share the responsibility of human rights violations and torture there are being investigated for example in the hague and other international ports then still are inactive by the balance one parliament was to order middle and lower ranking officers but there are many factors that have to play out the military it's a necessity as well who are more intelligence during protests and demonstrations there are once again sitting in the political conflict who cysts. so one go ugh why doha's call for more public protests this week the previous ones have turned violent and what can we expect this time well there has been violent protests all throughout last week especially in the slums and poor areas that are protesting not only against by the middle of against the costs. and months so are major demonstration resorts and violence because of violent repression from on forces this adds to the long list of human rights violations that are being investigated

and they're putting pressure on the un's through the rights commissioner to come and visit her in this layout in the coming weeks so what else clinton presidency announced is understandable for the latin american support that some argue that my goodness presidency is justice of the world from the rejection of the students and general public to international pressure that supporting. let's talk about the general public because this political crisis is happening as venezuelan struggled with a crippled economy and food shortages so how do they fail about this presidential standoff. well your position as sir they are open to negotiations but they are not want to sit through anymore all starts with models government since members of office in two thousand and thirteen the people of ministry alone have seeing there have been at least three things about routes between opposition and government and there is only arms they are as the current model of government fails to deliver their end of the bargain the main one being elections with

a new electoral council that has been accused of being rather fraudulent not only here very slow but also international so in the past charts have resulted in final groups and people are tired that you want to go to elections with a new electoral council and that is something one would not have said has to happen in the coming in this is you've talked about the people of that i wonder are we talking about the opposition being tired of fighting to fulfill his promises and what is the popular support like for either side in this crisis. when we stop our support our will see around us we how the opposition filled the streets our mother will still have some support of chutney the stars of. the people that are supporting the government but we are where on the tremor of both protests last week and we saw that a lot of people that were supporting monroe were actually government workers people

involved with collectives that support moment and they actually had to change their speech where other requests are not good because people started leaving those protests. and the general public what we see here from here is that he has been losing approval points from even southeast us we have seen chinese just come to the opposition site so there are a lot of protests last year that were involving also chinese dozen people that supported the government for not receiving during this phone shortage or medicine or how the health. system is working here at the moment so we've seen a lot of protests not only from the system but also check instance and his approval ratings have been dropping consistently since the past three years oh gosh lanka in caracas thank you. well as we've been hearing the gun to my daughter protests are

driven in part by venezuela's dire economic situation food and medicines are in short supply actress city is a reliable hyperinflation is rampant and as well it is an oil exporting nation and was once one of the wealthiest countries in south america so how did things get so bad and next report venezuela's economic decline. oil venezuela's greatest natural resource but also its greatest curse oil kit majoris predecessor google child is afloat for a decade before the price fell dramatically in twenty zero eight after a child was death in twenty thirteen nicolas maduro became president he continued to chop his government's economic policies but prices fell dramatically again in twenty fourteen for years the low price of oil has put a strain on the venezuelan economy to help it recover macdraw introduced the petro in february twenty eighth in

find food venezuelans are tired of shortages and inflation. more than three million of them have left the country in recent years mainly to colombia but the anger is growing among those who have stayed. now to brazil where of course has frozen more than a billion euros in assets belonging to the mining company in order to pay for damage caused by friday's down disaster at least fifty eight people are confirmed dead after the dam collapse in the country's south east another three hundred missing it's still not know why the dam gave way. the if there's anger among the families affected by the dam disaster they say that the efforts to search for survivors and bodies are still and i know i have no information about my husband no one has been able to tell me anything since friday no the police have blocked off parts of the disaster scene in southeastern brazil the mining company follett that operates the dam feared another collapse could happen to see it in the arms were

going off today many members of my family are already buried under the mud. rescue workers had to interrupt their mission because another dam threatened to burst the all clear came hours later mining company of ali is calling the collapse the tragedy but environmental groups and victims have criticized bali for years saying it's failing to uphold safety standards. to stone jesus was not an accident but a crime though they should have these things under control financial compensation won't bring back our loved ones by god to my. sorrow is rampant here in burma genial the hopes of finding more survivors are dwindling and it's too late to stop the environmental catastrophe just as with a similar incident in a region around three years ago. now to some of the other stories making news around the world emergency workers have been helping residents of the cuban couple

havana after a rare and powerful tornado struck overnight at least three people were killed and scores more injured homes and vehicles were destroyed and power supplies disrupted . a court in china has sentenced a prominent rights lawyer huang chan to four and a half years in jail for subversion of state power while defending political activists and members of the father i'm gong spiritual movement rights groups have denounced the sentence. u.s. president donald trump passed lifted sanctions on a number of companies linked to russian oligarchy. they were imposed last year to punish russia for interfering in america's twenty sixteen election give ministration lifted the sanctions after their path to choose to stay in the j.s.c. our company and the other main jobs roussel. are staying in the united states democratic senator campbell harris has formally launched her bid for the presidency a frontrunner in her party she hopes her background as

a prosecutor will help her win the nomination to challenge donald trump in twenty twenty seven to harrisburg on her campaign in oakland california presenting herself as a leader who could unite the country. long lines in downtown oakland kaamelott hair is a big crowd here for her campaign kick of rally among them many young women like in portugal eager to hear what the senator has to say. we really love how strong she is unlike criminal justice reform immigration she. just doesn't allow people to believe her like she asked the hard questions she keeps her composure she's really will spoken i am excited to see her or her pop for. about what matters and ultimately be reinvigorated by her yeah this rally was supposed to be a show of political force and it certainly looked that way when kaamelott harris took to the stage the daughter of jamaican and indian immigrants promised to be

a fighter for the people stating that it was time to restore what she views as a loss of american values on the president strom we are here because the american dream and our american democracy are under attack and on the line like never before and we are here at this moment in time because we must answer. a fundamental question who are we. who are we as americans let's answer that question. america we are better than this. the democratic party looking for fresh faces and common law harris who's been a u.s. senator for only two years certainly fits that bill she grew up here in auckland a diverse industrial city known for its toughness high crime rates and political

left wing activists now she is the first female black candidate having a buyable shot at the presidency. but here dozens of democrats lining up to run in twenty twenty the crucial question will be whether the party things come along harris has a chance of beating down old trump her supporters definitely think she does understand people. understand the needs of our country from boys to still receive preferential treatment of girls when it comes to education for example so what do these high level political changes mean for ordinary women the ws from official reports from the capital addis ababa. this campus could be anywhere in the world but this is if you and something here is strikingly different. in this time lucky to be here at the university because most girls in ethiopia do not have access to university like this you know you need to look at that and not dealing

and if yes well that's because most girls don't even make it to secondary schools hard to believe given the fact that if the opium made headlines when they was named the country's first female president and there are more women in politics. in the countryside where most ethiopians live there men are still confined to traditional roles the opportunities for women are limited it's all about baldur is set in families influenced by culture and tradition here in the village it's still men who dominate the life of women i see girls coming home from elementary school and ask them about their goals as a doctor. so each or engineer the almost all children go to primary school these days only thirty percent of girls make it beyond eighth grade the notion that girls do not belong in school persists in the rural villages

and if a family can afford to send a child to school boys usually take precedence. from others believe that although women get an education they will not succeed. most girls drop out of school when they are fifteen like their high she wants to become a doctor but her parents don't have the money to support her she says. you know you think the status quo should change. and men should come into the kitchen more often than. her reality working in this household for three hundred b. out of about ten dollars a month that she sensed or family in a village nearby she hopes to find someone who will sponsor her education her employer feels more lucky she can afford to high service as a maid over ethiopian coffee she tells us that her husband encouraged her to work

as a nurse instead of staying at home and raising their child. because he didn't just lose me personally i have a good life but growing up i have seen many women facing obstacles. i have witnessed women raped in school if you have seen women get kicked out by their husband because they wanted to go to school. and i have seen men lying about having kids and taking girls home marrying them. back in the capital back to a different world women here are successfully asserting themselves in society and raising their voices one of them is how we are a young reporter and host of a show called women in focus. your good afternoon to day's women in focus will take a look at you during your one of such bring movements and our own. today's focus is a movement that fight for gender equality how it tells us the problem in ethiopia

is not just with men though most times when we talk about issues of women we're talking about the issues do suffer from men but women also we put ourselves down we do not not exactly put ourselves down but we do not realize are put in charge sometimes we go along with the status quo so the things that we do to change that status quo the mindset we have towards our own our own selves that's very crucial if the o.p.'s capital is single rapid change other prime minister ahmed but there's still a long way to go before noticeable progress is made on improving the lives of ordinary women. you're watching the news live from still to come german football champions. giving up their title without a fight. over goals as they demolish just took up the. deadlock started building a fence along its border with the germany copenhagen the hopes the seventy can

battle construction will help the spread of african swine fever which is transmitted by water. under its attractive can truck considerable controversy for environmental and political reasons. who could. do to be a reporter pablo for this welcome pablo so why is denmark so concerned about swine fever well first and foremost this fence is seventy kilometers long it's got plenty of holes in it as well which is going to stop these guys here from actually getting across the border but of course this is got to do with the fact that denmark has a pretty large pork industry in fact their exports are worth four billion euros in total and half of that would actually go to countries outside the european union and what would happen is if this wind fever actually reached denmark the danish government claimed that those exports would holt immediately which is going to have an impact on their economy and also little fact which i like the fact denmark is

the only e.u. country where pigs number of people so. there you go you can tell your friends that . there's actually been other measures introduced along with this doing pretty intensive checks for wild boar controls of wild boar on public and private land and pretty hefty fines if they find vehicles transporting animals haven't been property cleaned or in disinfectant so if a fence like this can be really stop the spread of this disease what have environmental groups say well environmental groups believe that first and foremost most it's not going to stop wild boars from crossing there they're pretty powerful animals actually and one thing that i learned is that they're very good swimmers that there are these incredible images but you see here from the border region of these were borders swimming across and like i said before there are holes in this

border because there are you know rivers and waterways where the wild boars will be able to cross and so that's the first and that's the first issue that this border has and then also added to the west that said that it will disturb wolves authors and gold jackals and. and they're also stressing the fact that wild boars are more than capable of finding a way around the fence so that's what they're saying they've even appealed to the european union and then a report card by the european food safety authority said that there's actually no evidence that a fence would be effective german lawmakers actually just across the border in the state. said there are environmental agriculture minister doubts about the sense and assessing the of a fence so plenty of critics there. briefly does this mean that effectively closing its borders well this is also one of the issues they're saying that in fact this is a new verb by the danish government to appeal to sort of right wing voters who do want more tighter and stricter controls between denmark and germany and in fact the

danish people's party welcome the decision to build the fence and they said that maybe they should build it a little higher to keep that illegal immigrants above thank you. we'll start off with tennis world number one the know about jock rich is celebrating a record seventh australian open title by saying he's on the hunt for many more grand slam titles jockey richard seemed to have believed you know world number two before few problems in a straight sets final win on sunday claimed his fifty over old ground victory so that folks talk a bit too behind the doubtful korea titles and five behind roger federer leads the old time list with twenty i'm blessed to be able to win his being. here and know there are two guys ahead of me now in the history of the most lambs one but. i still have time. football and in germany as they go by
