manning fresh presidential elections i some who came out to support the opposition leader say even basic survival has become a struggle i went on what is a minority is 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 when as well a sitting president maduro has a key source of support in venezuela's military leaders but in a surprise move a high ranking commander in the air force threw his support behind you 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 ninety percent of the armed forces oppose the dictator and support the venezuelan people in this way. but

manure as backers also held rallies marking twenty years since the rise to power of late leader hugo chavez maduro addressed the rally and suggested holding congressional elections earlier than planned but he remained defiant you know they are saying anything going on the opposition are tricking people in venezuela saying they're in government and that the entire country and the armed forces obey their trickery trickery and more trickery moving don't you know. 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 to split goes far beyond the south american nation. of more let's go to our correspondent in caracas. thanks for joining me u.s. president donald trump has said that sending military to venezuela was now an option how will that go down with the durham county. well we have seen that mother

aunt has been leading a military exercise exercises in the past week you have spouted strings and militia that supporters government other leaders and members of government have called upon their supporters just on the country against an imperialist strike against but it's clear up to now the opposition has seen this as a show of power in front of the nation to demonstrate mother who has control over the military because in the past year you have seen small revolts from the military against motherwell and yesterday activision general and then as well as in the asian deflected against what he called a dictatorship we saw made or other active members follow suit so what could happen if there is an american military intervention depends on how strong the most grasp of the military actually is because of what we saw yesterday from some of the military continues this could lead to a domino effect that could out my who are. in it in the following days otherwise we

could see clashes which is something nobody. but us intervention would be good news for one quite wide zero and his supporters now wouldn't it. well from what i don't camp we have heard little about their support for an outside intervention other than the humanitarian aid for little medicines he is asking the u.s. to sentimental swear when i asked ask them when this one their lives are in to allow this humanitarian aid to enter venezuela and buy it against colombian your rela that have control of some areas in venezuela that are needed to allow acts and in order to distribute this he also said that there won't be a gathering centers in colombia and brazil now we have seen in social media videos of chains and military heading to the border until israel review people's alarm about military intervention or a quarter to one to allow aid to enter venezuela we've also heard rumors that if there is a military intervention in venezuela it would be led by ben as well and now with

terry that are in exile officers that left the country and get elected because of their opposition to legalize my who are we have seen several videos of this of these military in the past week from exile when it's on military pledging support for one way but as i said these are rumors and it all depends on how strong a mother can hold the support of his wakes what does this latest development mean for the big picture and asked lana well anything can happen in venezuela that we have seen that the country has become the discords apple between russia and the u.s. and now with both countries dropping the have nuclear treaty there are fears of a new old war arising with venezuela acting as a new cuba obviously that's something nobody wants and there's a lot of people putting hope in that one way to go can regain power of the country in

a constitutional way and not through all means of force. down many correspondent also in caracas thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world tens of thousands have rallied across serbia for the knife week in a row to protest against president aleksander church and among free elections and an end to his stranglehold on the media the church has rejected opposition claims suggested that he might call an early election. and they were ystem a crowd governor northam has refused to resign from office and with him says he wasn't one of the people who appeared in a racist photo in his nine hundred eighty four medical school yearbook the statement contradicts what know from said on friday when he apologized for appearing in the photos and the. pope francis has appealed to the international community to ensure humanitarian aid reaches suffering people in yemen francis was

speaking before leaving running on the first ever trip to the arabian peninsula via reigning pontiff is due to spend three days in abu dhabi the capital of the united arab emirates. francis will take part in a christian muslim dialogue a menace to the usa a small roman catholic community indian and philippine guest workers is. this is that mary's catholic church in dubai one of dozens of churches in the united arab emirates the emirates has a reputation for religious tolerance in the region were all there was tight restrictions on worship outside the muslim faith. francis is trip to the gulf states is aimed at encouraging more contact between christie on the sea and. some parishioners here think the visit would mark attorney point in relations between the two religions. i think it's a really you know i would not for all the muslims and christians in the u.a.e. and to the vatican city it's like you know it's a global event but francis is facing criticism over the visit because of the

emirates role in the war in yemen a saudi led coalition of which the emirates is part of has been accused of carrying out human rights abuses in its battle against hooty rebels francis will likely avoid publicly raising the topic of yemen when he meets with the emirates leaders for now the goal is a smooth first time visit by a pope to the arabian peninsula the home of islam earlier this week us dryly as rich as literary prize was awarded for a book written entirely by text message it was written by this man a roseville conny a kurdish iranian refugee who detail the despair of his many years in limbo inside an australian offshore detention center he wasn't allowed to attend the ceremony in melbourne to pick up his prize he told they'd only receiving the award has been business wait it is a big achievement for me for refugees on mama son and.

in the years since then chinese become one of the best knowing voices from inside a strategy is offshore detention system just driving what he says. conditions and human rights abuses there the pictures we're seeing from a documentary he was able to shoot on his phone inside that camp in the center in not us clearly his finds played a crucial role there and that's how he wrote the book that's right he did it was written by what's up so basically he typed up passenger passages and sent them to his translator in australia via what we can see those chunks of text recent here and also a voice miles to his translator who is on me to talk who sent us these screenshots of the messages and eventually they turned into a book called friends about the mountains writing from man his prison which. describes as the product of five years of imprisonment and systematic torture both

on him and other refugees and basically what he's talking about there are the stories that have come from nonis and also another detention center called on the roof of riots of refugees living in humane conditions of refugees even self harming and for his work he won a prize cold the victorian prize for literature. which is worth around sixty three thousand euro is bought as you say he wasn't able to actually pick up the prize yeah he said that why why is that the case so it's because of a stray is very hardline stance on. immigrants particularly those like there is but china here arrived by birth as ready doesn't let them settle in a stray processes that claims outside of his drug use borders and then tries to resettle them in a third country and australia says well this is because it's trying to deter people from making the dangerous journey by sea to

a strategy here and from that perspective it's largely worked because the births as they say in australia have largely stopped but it's come under huge controversy it's been much criticised particularly for the effects on children the government's come under huge pressure to take children who have suffered devastating psychological effects from being in these centers to resettle them and a lot of them and their families are being resettled in the united states at the moment in terms of bruised shani he has been on manna since two thousand and thirteen he's not sure how long he'll have to be there the center where he wrote the book has now closed but he is still sort of in limbo as he waits to find out what happens for human next two thousand and thirteen such a long time thank you for sharing that story with us. but it's been a crucial weekend in the bundesliga title race with challenges by and dortmund both facing tough away battles league latest don't when in front in frankfurt but failed
