to do it exactly the hour a day my name and the name to all and i work at the top of your. rebuttal to the. above the but . this is do w. news line from berlin venezuela's rival leaders dig in for what could the common a long political standoff both sides help mass rallies across the country with president nicolas maduro proposing early parliamentary elections insults a clear interim president won by doe calling for protests to continue until monday

. also coming up. in the bundesliga labor clues in a deal fire in munich an unexpected blow to deepening the crisis in germany struggling champion. i'm married to evanston it's good to have you with us. tens of thousands of venezuelans have attended rival rallies in a political stand off with no resolution in sight parliamentary leader and self declared interim president won why joe called us supporters to stay in the streets until sitting president nicolas maduro steps down but madeira still enjoys strong support from his base which celebrated the twentieth anniversary of coming to power i wonder why do his message to supporters is that changes around the corner he and

his backers are demanding fresh presidential elections i some who came out to support the opposition leader say even basic survival has become a struggle i went online to see more and more details it's very difficult and getting worse all the time but since november the situation's been out of control i can't get hold of my blood pressure medication anywhere and it used to be the cheapest on the market but now we can't get hold of even the most basic painkillers . boy has garnered international backing for his claim to be acting president venezuela sitting president maduro has a key source of support in venezuela's military leaders but in a surprise move the high ranking commander in the air force threw his support behind go i dove via twitter on saturday. i'm addressing you today to let you know that i reject the illegitimate and dictatorial authority of mr nicolas maduro over ninety percent of the armed forces oppose the dictator and support the venezuelan

people. but majorities backers also held rallies marking twenty years since the rise to power of late leader hugo chavez moderate addressed the rally and suggested holding congressional elections earlier than planned but he remained defiant you know that it is really going on the opposition are tricking people in minutes walen saying they're in government and that the entire country and the armed forces obey their trickery. trickery and more trickery moving down on you. the crisis has split not only venezuela itself but with washington and the european parliament backing who i do and russia and china are supporting my daughter the spirit goes far beyond the south american nation. well for more i'm joined in the studio by edward amend us from w. latin america and to our good morning to you so president duros just announced that he's willing to hold congressional elections earlier than expected or extend

planned so will this satisfy his critics or surely not what this is trying to do is to gain some time in your lading some kind of democracy if i was really clear this time is running out as far as the ultimatum from the u.s. concerns and dissimulation of democracy it just won't work because if you look at the constitution of venezuela what what one way god did it is peace now the interest precedent as far as the constitution concerns and so this is gaining off time works maybe only for. blind leftists trying to see some democracy in all the of this but there is not. well what seems to be key to whether madore manages to hold on to power is the support of the military and just yesterday we heard a venezuelan air force general declaring his support for the opposition leader one why do so is this the beginning of the end for mature oh. well honestly we

cannot know it's just a poker game mother row has the military this was one command and troops and so is more of a sign but it's pieces falling falling down from from his regime. what one way though is trying to is to get support from the military that's very decisive it's very important if this humanitarian aid is coming how the military will behave but why go has no power is just a transitional piece hopefully is just incisional according to the constitution and mother were is holding on to the military in the military still holding on to mother if you sold this protest we've seen the pictures right now you see in the supporting of mother were lots of military did this are commanded troops going to the. demonstrations so there's no real people backing whether we're you have some. measure on the how much support he has and it's about fifteen twenty percent so it

will fifteen twenty percent and the military is also significant can you help us understand why would duro continues to enjoy all the support from the army and from this fifteen or twenty percent despite the awful economic crisis in venezuela people not having access to enough food medicines why does he still hang on to this kind of support even well it's i think it's at least to two aspects it's already hard when the story. he received the government from what i was and what is a poor country and it went i was arrived he did a lot for the poor that's what people still thinking author and mother were is. i don't not continuing it but he's losing her job as chavez had on one hand and yes the hand on the oil and the revenues for oil are are huge with us as a first customer and so he's distributing it and the higher ranks of the military

are receiving a lot of those who are going and so the military is there with them all right eduardo mendez from w.f. america we appreciate it. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. tens of thousands rallied across serbia for the ninth we can road to protest against president of the center who they're demanding free elections and an end to his stranglehold on the media has rejected opposition claims but suggested that he might call an early election. in the united states democrat governor ralph northam has refused to resign from office for them says he was not one of the people who appeared in a racist photo in his one thousand nine hundred four medical school yearbook well that statement contradicts what nor them said friday when he apologized for appearing in the photo. he had more footage has emerged of last week's deadly dam

collapse in brazil the death toll from the disaster at a mining operation has now risen to one hundred twenty one people two hundred twenty six others are listed as missing authorities fear that toxic levels of iron oxide may have polluted water supplies russia has pulled out of a key cold war era nuclear arms control treaty one day after the united states did russian president vladimir putin also announced moscow would begin developing new weapons systems he's ordered his ministers not to initiate any new disarmament talks with washington. russia's response came quickly president vladimir putin said he was simply doing what the americans did the day before halting its involvement in the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty or i and if you can skipper you know our american partners have announced they are suspending their participation in the deal and we are also suspending our participation. but

nationally. we will wait until our partners have mature enough to conduct an equal meaningful dialogue with us on this important topic you know russia's tit for tat response shift the blame for the end of the i.n.f. treaty to the us and even though bloody near putin says russia is ready to talk it's clear that the threat of a new arms race is real and some here in moscow are certainly concerned about that prospect. it worries me a lot i'm scared that could be a second cold war like the one in the soviet union. that flight time is only something like ten or fifteen minutes then we wiped out and they're wiped out and what for yeah the most the the i think it's really bad when countries only think of themselves and don't think about the whole world the two superpowers should sit down and agree on something just in the goodies moscow says it will now work on a range of new high tech weapons sparking concern in russia and in many european

countries about the possibility of a new arms race. life death rebirth all that's the title of a controversial new exhibition at the royal academy of arts in london it features works by us video artist bill viola and renaissance master michael angelo two artists separated by four and a half centuries a reporter went there to find out if video kills the renaissance star. and our smash up at the royal academy of american video artist bill viola me in trying heavyweight champion of the art world to michelangelo. currently it's not a face off between the artist but rather an exploration of common themes. life death and rebirth we all often makes large scale meditative works his aim is to awaken the soul. longtime collaborator and life partner pair of is excited

that the project has finally reached fruition. this is really thrilling i mean it's just i get goosebumps seeing. the show kind of gradually being born and. you know these rooms have nothing in them until you turn them on it's kind of overwhelming and it can bring you to tears. this is certainly true of viola's trip to featuring the artists over the dying mother and the bloody joy of. the work comes face to face with michelangelo's famous today tonto marple really a close encounter between bill viola the michelangelo drawings in the royal collection planted the seeds of this unusual show. it always struck me that there were very close parallels between the content the spiritual content of

michelangelo's drawings and the themes that run through bill's work and. responsive to these works in a moment i conceived the idea of the juxtaposition of his works with a conscious drawings. existing the show one or other of the oldest most visual works tat was above you it could be heaven. or it could be hal which is pretty much what the critics the witch too. well byron munich were a dealt a serious blow in their quest to catch up with bundesliga leaders dortmund on saturday they went into their match with leverkusen already six points behind their rivals and the champions ended up travelling back to munich empty handed. a big blow for boy and heading into this clash captain manuel neuer out injured backup
