a repeat of vietnam but mother who was dealt a blow from europe this morning off to several countries recognize self declared into the present. as the leader of the country more on that in just a moment but first this report. by. demanding international pressure. embattled president remains defiant. in a t.v. interview nicolas maduro rejected an ultimatum by european countries to. bomb international politics can't be based. that was the era of empires and. his response clears the way for e.u. nations including germany and france to recognize his rival. as interim president. over the weekend many thousands across venezuela followed those call to protest.

the police backed off from one anti-government rally a possible sign of solidarity from security forces. venezuela is wracked by economic crisis medicines electricity and even food are in short supply. the u.s. has pledged to support by sending humanitarian aid president donald trump even left open the possibility of providing military backing. which is all options. but maduro retains powerful allies russia china and his country's military. with the crisis escalating he appeared on state t.v. visiting an army base an apparent attempt to project strength.

joining me now is journalist and latin american on this line you're still a fed welcome to you speech in france and britain have also said that they recognize kwan as interim president off venezuela what impact is this going to have do you think it's really important because this is the impact of the recognition of the new interim government that cute call new free and transparent election in in a few months maybe this is important for the opposition movement in a spoiler to have this support and this recognition of the international community but then is it. also has a powerful allies as russia china and russia has slammed this european as kind of interference in meddling in a country's affairs yes but i'm not sure the role of russia in latin america is a big ground here or in the middle is so i think this is

a bar of the international war of position but the main issue in venice so a lot of the main actors doing in part of the deal of the day is political crisis or europe and the us of course on the larger american congress so what is the basis off kuan why does legitimacy because moderates says that you know what he's done is unconstitutional why don't the breast of. venezuelan parliament in the last free election does we took in minnesota in two thousand here and also part of to not recognize the selection of nicolas maduro so why do us a person of the parliament take the interim president of the country with a big job to call some friendly relations so this is part of the business one of

the constitution isn't any surprise for any by. in the country as. president donald trump has not ruled out a military intervention in venezuela and because what nicolas maduro had to say to that talking about his hands will be stained in blood and there'd be another vietnam how critical is the rule of the army the venison and this is the most important part of serious of the political crisis because army is the only support behind nicolas maduro now mother has no people behind hasn't so any political local and international support and just the army are supporting another right now in the generals have come out in support of madrid is that a possibility or likelihood that the siller just could break ranks and join the opposition says that the whole international community or weightier force and the people inside the country are pushing on try to tongue on this army for

me now is martin got these religious affairs analyst a welcome martin now this is a historic trip as you mentioned the first ever trip by the pope to the arabian peninsula why now well it's a time at which the christian communities are under great pressure and mean in the middle of several different conflicts of which both the u.a.e. and saudi arabia in particular are part off and that of course the yemen the war in yemen and which on which the pope has been actually expressly very interested in sort of has been trying essentially to help along either sort of a peace process or minimally a dialogue so i mean there are several issues at hand one of them an important one it's actually into really just conversations and where the pope wants to start a new chapter in relations between the christians and muslims what does he mean by

that and how does he plan to achieve it well in general i mean i think that we have seen over the last i would say twenty years or so an increase discussion on the idea of essentially. a war off a war of civilizations and this has been x. and tweeted by the emergence of different types of nationalist something different types of. you know need to be some around europe and the u.s. at the very same time we have seen parlak to the emergence of more radicalized for himself islam that have taken a more central role in political processes i think that the pope this about to get in particular and many people around him seem to understand along with other european leaders and western leaders that there is a serious need for bridge building and they think that these are very concrete steps that these problems he has been trying to take in that direction at the same time this pope is quite quite outspoken you mentioned yemen he has to decide that you even the voice really in yemen i expected any such statements during this visit

you don't think we're going to hear statements i mean of course i could be wrong about this but i thought. think that the german style of this pope is not to actually take an open confrontation and in a new way sort of put his his hosts on the spot nonetheless he was very clear about his position concerning yemen you know as us recently as yesterday noon before he got on the plane. and the way this vatican has operated in several other fronts including cuba in the u.s. and syria is to basically the blow you they pull him out ik operation on the ground and it's very very likely that the people that are traveling with the pope and the people are on the ground are ready undertaking this conversation so we will only know whether this was effective in any way in terms of trying to mediate unmodulated the conflict in yemen in the position of the u.a.e. as weeks and months continue to continue to lapse mustn't go thank you very much for that my pleasure to the u.s.

now where the pentagon says it's sending additional troops to the border with mexico opponents describe the mission as a political stunt designed to create the illusion of a crisis. washington bureau chief on his own for naaman travel to arizona to speak to people living at the border and the ones already guarding it. patrolling the us mexican border here in arizona it stretches for more than six hundred kilometers agent down into hernandez takes us to a remote part of it protected by an anti vehicle barea he says what's happening at the border is a crisis like he's never seen before there are still a lot of people that are trying to cross the border illegally that do not want to be caught but now we have added element and dynamic of having family units from central america they're giving themselves of the border patrol which brings in a humanitarian crisis images recently captured by a mobile sort of billions you need show families crawling under

a small fence into the u.s. even though the total number of our preventions along the border has dropped over the last two decades the agents say their job is no more difficult than ever we're in the city of nogales agent hernandez shows us the existing border fence here only recently has concertino wire been installed on top of its. we know that there is certainly a possibility that people can still come over or drug come over and recognize that but it's definitely true that works effectively and in this particular area have completely changed the landscape for more security less illegal crossings that sounds like an argument for presidents dramas border war but was it worth shutting down the government over the border patrol agents told us they don't talk politics they're here to do their job regardless of what's going on in washington however they seemed happy and relieved that a deal has been reached at least temporarily we opened the government's neither the

shutdown nor trams plans for a border war have been popular in downtown nogales we need each album says the city's mayor democrat to regard the economies on both sides of the border heavily depend on mutual trait. maybe the president needs to sometimes give in a little bit and say you know what ok let's find this find a common ground is find something that we can do together but stick to border security and economic development and by national relations with mexico. after thirty five days of shutdown the federal workers in arizona will be finally getting their paychecks but the roll over the border wall is still far from over. that report by an exam a phenomenal german chancellor angela merkel is in japan for talks with prime minister shinzo just days ago a free trade agreement between japan and the european union came into effect and

said largest straight back that the european union has signed germany is japan's most important trading partner within the e.u. in the first three quarters of two thousand and eighteen germany exported goods what almost nineteen billion dollars to japan an increase of almost ten percent now germany imported products worth just over fifteen billion u.s. dollars from japan. and increase also off a more then in fact more than ten percent not only trade but cooperation other areas is also expanded the main focus is on digitalisation and artificial intelligence in japan manufactures produce more than half of the global supply in two thousand and seventeen making the country the top industrial robot make germany is fifth in that market and japan is also at the forefront of other major future technologies such as the manufacture of batteries and electric cars an area where german produce is still trying to get up to speed only

a clemens call what the director of a trade policy at the german chamber of industry and commerce in brussels told us about the significance of chancellor merkel's visit to japan. from a business perspective important sign that both economies want to cooperate closer we. trade while you're move over forty billion euros between germany and japan and we have a new trade deal. to reduce the trade barriers for both exports and imports and improve investment so this is a very much needed signal especially for the german economy that is heavily dependent on open markets internationally free trade of openness for investment. you're watching the news coming up ahead the new england patriots take down the los angeles rams to

a record equalling six the super bowl and we take you through the rough and tumble of the game. but first today is world cancer day dedicated to the fight against want the world's biggest killers in two thousand and eighteen the disease claimed an estimated nine point six million lives worldwide prevention screening and early detection are the focus of this year's campaign doctors say millions of cases could have been treated more effectively had they been detected sooner despite advances in medicine nearly whop of those diagnosed die of the disease between thirty to fifty percent of cases could have been prevented entirely . joining me now is my colleague from the science does. people doubters are putting a lot of hoping to new technical development such as artificial intelligence but how much of an impact is artificial intelligence going to have do you think. well

allow me to start with a cliche it remains to be seen artificial intelligence is a very young has been going for a couple of decades but is a very young field in itself it's a young fielding cancer there have been some studies for instance in the united kingdom there was a study that came out into something they're calling revolver so repeated evolution of cancer it's an artificial intelligence that tries to look at patterns of how cancers evolve and how they may develop in certain genetic setting so in particular people so to say if you look at five hundred or thousand or more people and you see how a particular cancer evolves you might get a better better idea of how cancer could evolve and then you could see that this person has a particular genetic disposition to this particular cancer this is the risk the level of risk this is how it might develop if we've already diagnosed it cetera but it's still very young and it's in its days really and so a lot of the focus needs to be on things like improving our own health our

attention to health and treatment giving medical professionals the the tools they need to help people detect and treat cancer and early detection many people said that is a key factor one of the last down the sink new methods in that area. well i think you know i'm going to scale is right back early detection is you need to be aware of what can happen so like if you for instance look at prostate cancer in men is one of those areas it doesn't is not talked about a lot a lot of people will say go get checked when you're in your fifty's or whatever actually you should be start looking when you're in your forty's that's number one you can monitor for instance your p.s.a. baseline and have all of the see how that's developing it may not show a increase in your risk but if it does you'll see that a lot earlier than certain health or fire teams are actually recommending at the moment so as i say the recommendation is around fifty in the states for instance united states but you should start checking at a lot earlier maybe

a decade earlier and catch cancer like prostate cancer which let's not forget is still quite common and is very common is treatable but common among men and not widely talked about also improve your health and as if the german health ministry yet spinal recently said gas is going to be defeated in the next ten twenty years is this optimism justified well look. the federal health minister says it's not very helpful to be quite honest with you it doesn't help people who are facing cancer today we've been sent making these sort of pronouncements for decades so it's interesting aspirational to say but it's not really helping people today we need to look at factors like smoking which the world health organization says is still one of the biggest causes of cancer even you know you can but it's still there you know look at something like lung cancer it's one of the biggest killers and you don't have to smoke i just improve your health get out there do some physical activity that sort of stuff that will help you today not in ten twenty

years. the science desk thank you very much. just for john the big game many are talking about of course is the super bowl the new england patriots have been crowned american football as n.f.l. champions this after they beat the ne rams in atlanta the rams a thirteen three in what was the lowest scoring super bowl ever still it was fenty for the fans to celebrate. i'm going to drive by fans of the new england patriots have every reason to celebrate that seems like a victory on historic super bowl night quarterback tom brady was the man of the hour winning his sixth title a record for a player for many it cemented his status as the greatest of all time. what it means to me the patriots are the best tom brady is a god he's the best ever and if you ever want to dispute that just look the other

way don't talk to me. brady won his first super bowl seventeen years ago despite becoming the oldest quarterback to play in and win a super bowl he has no intention of retiring just yet timmy has a tattoo for every time the patriots have won a ring and he's fast running out of room do you have to get an. all out the canard i'm going out to get some more warmer numerals on the cup problem i have is there when so many super bowls i don't mourn are all rolled up i don't know about the road they're at their home armband i don't know the super bowl sunday is the sporting event of the year in the united states over one hundred million americans watched the game on t.v. and even without a ticket these fans came all the way to atlanta to cheer on this side. for me i will travel anywhere for my team anywhere for my team if it means that we're going to win the super bowl and i get to be a part of it for the little part this is why i'm here the l.a.

rams were the underdogs and couldn't get there much lauded all fans going in the last quarter the defense by. heard it was satellite over that all. for the l.a. rams but ecstasy for the patriots for the players and friends it's going to be a long hours of celebration. investigators have found the wreckage of the plane carrying the cost of city football and. was disappeared two weeks ago it was located off the island of guernsey in the english channel the argentine striker was flying in the light aircraft from north in france to cardiff in wales when contact with it was lost over the channel the search for the wreckage was abandoned but a crowd funding campaign raised more than three hundred thousand euro's to privately fund a recovery operation. in german sokoban to sleep has struck less

put off a big win at home against mines on sunday taking all three points in some rather inhospitable weather conditions despite the snow the hosts were in hot form and overwhelmed the opposition in large part thanks to the stellar performance of their star striker alfred finn books are with us. yes lehmann made his debut as assistant coach for our book the bavarians are hoping the former germany keeper will foster a winning mentality the team certainly began with plenty of confidence and in the eighth minute handball by daniel present ski gave them a chance to score from a penalty alfred finn bogus and kept up his one hundred percent record from the spot. and lightning struck twice for alex book in the thirty fourth minute another handball in the box gave them another penalty the referee had to check with the video assistant this time but the decision stood and finn bogus and converted again of course his ninth goal of the

season had out spoke to nil ahead at half time after the break the hosts continued to dominate the game and with less than an hour to go on a counter-attack ended with finn bogus and scoring his third goal it was the icelandic strikers for the trick. that was more than enough to end alex burke's tangoing winless streak the yen's lehmann effect is already in full swing. finally for me in northern india millions of him the pilgrims have taken the plunge into core rivers as a massive religious gathering pilgrims were led to by holy men smeared with ash to a spot where trees sacred rivers including the ganges come together devout hindus believe debating during the so-called mayla festival bring salvation from the cycle of life and death the festival is. then two thousand the ends though. they
