obeying also coming up to resubmit heads to brussels once again seeking a way to avoid a no deal bragg's it but a leader donald tusk slams the last minute scramble saying those who push for greggs it without a plan deserve a special place in hell and it is the hottest ticket in town the berlin film festival or berlin alla starts today cinema goers are already lining up for this year's buzzed about films and the phrase for the golden bear. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program a standoff over humanitarian aid deepens as venezuela's political crisis plays out on the country's border a convoy with desperately needed aid remains stuck at the colombian border city of kuta now venezuela's government led by nicholas my do it oh hi. as order that the

army not allow it in the aid has been organized by the united states and venezuela's opposition who want to seem a total removed from power now venezuela's military has to choose whether to obey government orders or let the aid pass we have this report. venezuelan soldiers keeping watch at the barricades on the chin detest bridge border crossing president nicolas maduro says aid supplies offered by the united states her form of foreign intervention he's ordered the soldiers to turn the assistance away. but the soldiers have also been given another order by one quote to the opposition leader who last month declared himself in this way less interim president. and it was not a. new beginning i gave a direct order to the armed forces bring a lot of the necessary humanitarian aid to enter to take care of your family. that has put the focus on the soldiers at the border and their commanders which

president well they are big. pedestrian bridges at the border remain open venezuelans can still cross the frontier to buy goods they cannot get at home but many who have no money to go shopping in colombia do not understand why the age shipments are being stopped. when mick i don't look at the mob it sets me quite a bit and not just me but most people i think both the opposition and people who support the government here to unfavorably because you know what he said as others have said whether you all for the opposition or for the government if a child gets sick and you can't get medicine and that person dies that said i am asking you to please open the border. let the food poss. if like you say you really love thinness willa if you really feel something inside of you only if you love your family your children and you should to love them then

you need to love us venezuelans as well i'm asking you please open the border mr mature or. nicolas maduro has dismissed the u.s. aid offer as a political show in the capital caracas madeira supporters signed a petition that's to be sent to washington telling donald trump to keep his hands off venezuela. let's cross over to the venezuelan capital caracas for where data correspondent osca schleicher joins us on the line so oscar what is the situation on the bridge right now. well the situation we have the border bridge remains blocked from the venezuelan side this is a bridge that was just kind of struck at the border in an area that it has not much transit so we tended to focus when most of the humanitarian aid went to columbia was being gathered here this passing however was rushed walk and prevent

i'm sorry but it's where the puerto rico secretary of state to prevent on my team announced their shipment arrived. a passenger plane on what he said was a secret flight so while all the a concern of the lynas one public and the media was focused on the colombia border burdick are going to filled with a ton of humanitarian aid if you're a mature enough in what. secretary of state of puerto ricans calling a secret mission ok so some aid indeed is getting through but i just want to quickly return to you know the aid that is supposed to arrive by land because we know that the opposition leader why don't i spoken about that and i'd like to you to take us through a couple scenarios here i mean if it does end up getting through over this bridge what happens then and does why don't have a plan. yeah and quite well as indicated there are between two hundred

fifty and three hundred thousand people who need urgent medical help and the risk of dying people who need medicine and urgent care to serve their first cargo of trying to quit on the air and the caribbean if you're not the queue for hospitals for one month that is being delivered smoking nutritional supplements for children which have been the most vulnerable to malnutrition these last few years i mean your courage when he learned of twelve children who died. from a bike here your outbreak you know often or in on swapping for example some of this very much needed and could help a lot of people ok and again confirming that for us that puerto rico has been able to get aid in to the country by air as many were waiting for that shipment by land which is currently blocked oscar slank are with the very latest on the situation from caracas the venezuelan capital thank you with just fifty days until

break that british prime minister theresa may is heading to brussels for talks yet again may is determined to win changes to the bags that deal that would earn the backing of britain's parliament but her hopes for renegotiation could be doomed as tempers and nerves fray in europe. only fifty days to go and still no solution in sight. of the heartbreaks it is growing day by day much and so is the frustration in brussels watching to resume a head towards a no deal exit. what that special place. in the whole looks like for those who promoted it. without even a sketch of a plan how to cover it safely a provocative statement that irish prime minister leo varadkar predicted would not sit well with those it was aimed at. and not only in the press the response coming out of westminster was fast and

furious i don't recall for every president insulting members of this house members of the government and the british people in such a way others took a step back to look at the bigger picture it was her it was to speak her sometimes the truth hurts doesn't i for nigel thoreau much the former leader of the euro skeptic party who kept to six comment is proof of why britain wanted to leave the e.u. in the first place after brics it will be free of unelected arrogant bullies like you and run our own country sounds more like heaven to me. heaven hell or somewhere in between it's up to theresa may have to meetings in belfast the british prime minister will be back in brussels today seeking fresh concessions on the withdrawal agreement however neither donald tusk nor european commission president john seem willing to renegotiate the deal. let's get more now with josh bloom

a journalist and joining us from london so josh i mean the clock is really taking here because we have fifty days to go until bragg said what options does theresa may have. i think it's all about word compromise wos theresa may get a fire grounds the most obvious place to look for that isn't our own parliaments and our own party in fact sunni's could look at some of the more hardline relatives of horse and school year vs the tournaments of course most of the already set the main problem with the deal from their point of view is the bass stop and they would like some part of that change by brussels perhaps a time limit on it or perhaps the technological aspects of that which would make it a bit easier to deal with if you can sustain any source of compromise with the tory party at their own party and the next step may actually be the labor party gerry call the leader of the opposition this morning to set us into dishes which he would consider that it will watch reason may most notably joining a customs union but that would involve as the implied freedom of movement something

i don't think the reason they don't go for the final option of course is trying to get some sort of compromise from brussels but as a repeater they said it had no interest in the reopening of that withdrawal were green and so ultimately someone's going to have to give it just depends whether it's on its own party the opposition or gretel's and possibly enough who do you think that someone might be because i mean you're talking about compromise here but there are harsh reality is the fact that both of the main parties in the u.k. are split as are the country as residents and so so what is the most realistic way forward do you think. i think thomas the house certainly has more probability i think more and more cracks is starting to realize that the houses of parliament will not allow a nodal snarly to happen that's yet to be seen obviously i think some of the more moderate members of the house apart they start to come on side i think the key may be the labor party though some of the little brats supporting one of the labor party might be convinced it's release and they can get in and prove guilt or

likewise i think some of the more extreme broadstairs and party they realise that they don't by any sort of deal in the next few weeks they may not end up with any sort of breath set or braces that may not happen for a long period it's i had an extension article fifteen which they're really not for either talk to us and a little bit about i mean what would in no deal as so-called disorderly brags it mean for the country mostly experts say it would be awful for the country but i think one of the key aspects that people looking at is that every this isn't a done for the century and you look at a few things like flights you look at food you look at lorries you look at dover which is physically important there is a recently air study that even just a few minutes delayed for truck at dover would cause catastrophic at best across the country and sense of getting just in time supplies all the way around to the quay so no one really knows the all star circuit most of the experts think it will be awful and i think the houses aren't realise that it will strike the cape pretty

that way and settle and pleases said under no circumstances will they allow a note that gerry coleman said as he said off the table and highly of him to even think that all sorts of reason may of profit on a compromise scale but as these things that tend to be a bit well but no deal if and i think export quite quickly so the stakes are very high as theresa may heads to brussels today journalist josh bloom joining us from london thank you. well in just about twenty minutes we will bring you more on drugs that and its potential economic implications that is coming up in business but first a quick check of some other stories making news around the world investigators have recovered an unidentified body from the wreckage of the plane carrying football or a million of sallah and pilot david it's in the wreckage have been found near the islands of currency and the english channel following the plane's disappearance on the twenty first of january bad weather is has impeded those attempts to pull the

world bank should quote defend american values. trump's announcement of longtime treasury official david malpass as world bank pick on wednesday was widely expected because america is the largest contributor to the world bank giving it over one billion dollars every year my administration has made a top priority to ensure that u.s. taxpayers dollars are spent effectively and wisely serve american interests and defend american values david has been a strong advocate for accountability at the world bank for a long time. the decision to choose miles is being interpreted as a sign the trumpet ministration wants to rein in the financial institution. has been a consistent critic of the world bank and he is expected to try and reduce its role . it is a longstanding convention for the u.s. president to nominate the head of the world bank it is not correct clear if other

life. fisherman and a cow holes in his net. the small community in southwest america has been fishing like this for generations but now their way of life is under threat several huge chinese fishing trawlers started casting their nets of the shore of an account last year the local fishermen with their small wooden boats can't compete with this industrial fishing operation just feel like it's bad for us it's tough competition because the chinese nets are huge they're helping catch many fish as for me i'm just using a small net i can't get that many fish. and they fear it will get much worse under a deal struck between the madagascar development agency and chinese investors three hundred thirty chinese high tech boats will be delivered to madagascan fisherman supplied free of charge they will replace their traditional wooden boats to

increase the fisherman's haul part of the fish will be sold locally the rest will be bought by the chinese allegedly at a favorable price. sounds like a good deal but it has provoked an outcry among the fishermen here they fear that industrial scale trolling will result in overfishing and of fish stocks diminish their livelihoods will be at risk. if this goes on with all these trawlers coming here. was where will the fisherman go there nothing else them fishing up there is. a community that makes its living from the sea is sailing into an uncertain future. some soccer news now and manchester city have returned to the top of england's premier league after beating ever ten goals from emerick left poor and gabriele highs this gave the visitors a two nil victory

a week ago city were five points behind liverpool now they have moved ahead of their title rivals on goal difference though they have played one game more coach have already goalless says that his side will fight until the end so the reality we regroup what we could have been one month ago when three hundred with a game against liverpool four six seven days ago we could be several boys behind you know we have to open the league what is the lesson that never give up and in the german cup by our munich came through a rollercoaster match with have to berlin advancing to the fourth round with a three two win kingsley coleman headed byron's winner after a glaring error from mats hummels had allowed her to take the tie into extra time elsewhere there were narrow wins for outspoken leipzig while shall to be deceived or fall for won that match overshadowed by the news of the death of a sour shock as legendary former general manager he was seventy four. now the event

movie fans in berlin look forward to every year the berlin film festival or berlin allah is starting today this year the competition feels an unprecedented lineup of female directors among those vying for the top prize the golden bear the jury will be chaired by french star juliette binoche and fans have already been lining up for the hottest tickets. the fans i want to make to be not in such a unique event it attracts the largest audience of any film festival in the world and anyone can get tickets here as long as they get in line enough. to read every single synopsis of every movie and made my choices but. i wasn't prepared for how difficult it is to get tickets for the knowledge. puzzle you have to fit the movies the timing but you have to fit quick because there's a lot of ticket offices and they fly very quick nearly four hundred movies will be

presented and one thing is for sure it's going to be a women's. francesco winner juliet in nashville did the jury british actress child adrenalin will receive the honorary bear for her lifetime achievement and seven off the seventeen movies running for a golden bear were directed by women records and a milestone for an a list festival. and it's a woman who's picking off the movie marathon danish director alone will open the festival with a film the kindness of strangers in it she tells the story of a group of people who meet during a cold york winter. and the anyone since for years now. this year's been out a set of brits women festival director due to a costly excess it's a reaction to the gender equality paint. that julie. of

course this is partially a result of the ongoing debate departed the our views have expanded and we're learning to question things. but i have to stress that we didn't include any films where we weren't convinced of the quality from the. german films are also well represented at. one powerful entry is by prize winning director. in the golden glow if you profiles a notorious serial killer. this man will be lending the festival some hollywood christian base playing former u.s. vice president dick cheney the biographical finn presents him as a poet hungry politician really intelligence brief for the president gets a sense of the decision proof. understanding

that banty not his main venue the red carpet is being rolled out this year it's environmentally friendly it's made of recycled fishing nets so now it's green and glamorous. and with me here in the studio is our film expert scott roxboro i mean you're really analyze you know what's what what do you see as being special this year. obviously the films are always the special things special folks will be talk about that in a minute but what i think is really interesting this year at the banal is basically the context in which it's taking place because. i think partially mentioned some things before about the female representation we also talked about in a minute but i think the industry the film industry is just going through seismic transformation at the moment because being only because of streaming services and in particular netflix i mean it's amazing if you look one of the first i was for this year's oscars is roma. which is a netflix film ten nominations and so forth and this year we have our very first

netflix film in competition. also a black and white spanish language film by coincidence from a special actor is a book and i think the discussion about what is cinema what our festival is for what does it mean where you see a movie how you see it that's a. question that's taken place all crossed berlin at all levels of the of the bell or not and i think a lot of the discussions what they lead to will be sort of the legacy of this year's festival what do you make of the choice of the opening film the kindness of strangers well i really like the director she's a lone scherfig she's a danish director but she's best known for english language movies and education one day and what i find interesting about her is she sort of took quite disparate shondra romantic comedy and she's given it real sort of intellectual and emotional have to be just sort of filler this film is interesting because it's

a setting in in new york it's a first film set in america where other films have been set europe and its stars because. andrea respond and it's basically the sort of romantic melodrama about people sort of falling out of the system so it's a bit of a social commentary but i know it's also got to be really really funny she always is able to meet mix the the sweet with the sour and give sort of a pope bit sort of social commentary but still allow you to have a guitar while you're watching a female director of course gender representation you mentioned it's a really hot topic this year not surprisingly you know of course but you have to say berlin's the only of the big film festivals to really put its money where its mouth is i mean the lot of the competition lot of this year has i think seven female directors of seventeen which is forty one percent if i'm asked right which is not fifty percent but it's better than by far than any of the other big

festivals mean can last year had three of twenty one directors were female then it had one of twenty one has said they've done this even before the b two movement and the time's up movement but that's definitely given more impetus to make real changes and berlin has been also the most transparent saying they've read yes they released a big study saying this is the film's. submitted here are who directed the male female all through all the different categories of so much talk of the editor male female just to give an idea of what the true general representation is and then to take take real action and i think we'll see what happens with a lot of this year but at least a generalization is of forefront of the belly as well should be got roxboro so much to look forward to when they only have three weeks best two weeks of my life in our lives do we get it we get to watch and as you as you watch all these films thanks scott. a quick reminder now of the top stories we are following for you troops
