a triple phrase with temperatures colder than the trigger that ice is from chicago and daily life is perhaps. i'm full gale welcome to the program a short time ago a friend of mine a self-proclaimed interim president why me why don't you address crowds of supporters and presented his plan for the country's future he said he wouldn't wait for the first majority to go that he was already working on a transitional government bill so promised and so the shortages of food and medicine that have escalated over recent years. there are two key elements for every project time and money we do as government does not have either

but once the illegal seizure of power is over a new democratic government would have not just time but also faith hope and the necessary money to drive this country forward that is important. while the european union has agreed to lead an international contact group with south american nations to help resolve venezuelans political crisis e.u. foreign policy and chief agree to margaret he says there is full unity in the block over seeking free and democratic elections in venezuela as soon as possible the group which will include the germany britain france bolivia and ecuador will be disbanded after ninety days if no progress is made that was more green he said e.u. foreign ministers males are consider imposing further sanctions on president majority government. should not only countries in america but also d w correspondent barbara vessel joins us from bucharest where e.u. foreign ministers are meeting. what will this contact group seek to achieve.

this contract to a group is supposed to be a channel of communication for the european countries to sort of talk to democratic forces within venezuela because they have no direct access so they're trying to use some neighboring countries and countries in the region to sort of set up some some kind of cut channel of communication to foster and support democratic forces so they're quite clear the e.u. is quite clear about what they do not want they do not want mediation in the sense mediate between my two or forces and guy two forces but they do want to support quite a way that's pretty much what their goal is was that and they want to sort of help him by talking to them and figure out what they need what support they could need and also for instance one of those aspects is humanitarian aid the e.u. is absolutely ready to deliver more and instant humanitarian aid to the suffering

country but they've had severe problems with access so something like that could probably be negotiated relatively quickly by the new context rupie so does this mean the you had resisted its threats to recognize the one guy why the president if no elections a call. no it hasn't because this is sort of like a double pronged process i mean it's this double barreled aspect. every e.u. country must and can decide by itself because that is a national remit to recognize going to next week for instance and you know we know that for the four big countries spain france the u.k. and germany have gone ahead and have already offered and an ultimatum last weekend and said ok if he's not gone by doesn't call elections by sunday maybe the beginning of next week then we will immediately recognize why do and other e.u.

countries are invited to join in now we're waiting for the names to emerge but the foreign ministers are still in the building behind us and they're still talking and they will be talking about this again over dinner and it seems to be a bit of a process but it is absolutely to be expected that other european countries will join the e.u. as a whole can't do that because it cannot as an organization recognize the government but that is the process that they have set in motion so yes those is on the table in fact and briefly. also talking about further sanctions against it as a bonus when russia. yes for the record my greenie announced that for the sanctions are imminent maybe within the next week already and it is not going to be wholesale konami sanctions they don't want to sort of increase the burden on the country it's bad enough as it is but it is going to be a large amount of the circle around the durham military people who have committed

violence against demonstrators and they will be put on the e.u. sanctions list and blocked from travel blocked from financial transactions and so on and so forth they will do everything it can on the sanctions side to sort of reinforce the message they're sending they support the democratic forces and basically they want majeure gone as quickly as possible reversal in bucharest thank you. meeting of a foreign ministers in progress also say the launch of a new payment channel to bypass u.s. sanctions against iran backed by germany france and the u.k. instax will give iran access to european markets without using international banks which would face penalties under the u.s. sanctions regime so the new payment system will allow iran to sell products like oil to european customers. would receive the payment and keep each european company would then deliver food or medical supplies to iran and then get paid by

instax the mechanism would allow participants to avoid violating u.s. sanctions which forbid monetary transactions with iran but not to trade of goods despite mr companies using our instincts might still risk retaliation by the united states. to some of the other stories making news around the world a rescue ship carrying forty seven migrants has docked in the port of could tanya on these italian island of sicily rome had previously spent the last twelve days refusing to allow people to abort the sea watch a vessel to disembark the standoff was results where nineteen countries agreed to accept the passengers. the united nations says a million land mines have now been cleared from the world's youngest a country south sudan a local mine clearance experts and u.n. specialists work together to destroy a one hundred kilogram bomb which is found in the capital juba last week.

to exist is my. ship if. one is tired president underlined this moral imperative he said it is a part of modern germany's d.n.a. . phenotypic if. you don't find the term holocaust in the constitution put the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the germans reverberate in it unmistakably in the basic rights that protect individuals from a despotic state and in the legal foundation of a democracy that is capable. of protecting itself and not allowing that democratic freedoms are misused to destroy a liberal democracy. misspoke. music composed by victim who was murdered in auschwitz in one thousand nine hundred four
