government is trying to get his pledges passed by parliament but parties look likely to torpedo the but. the girl who just came from move the world and helped end the war now is nesta a goodwill ambassador and peace activist she's received the peace prize awarded by the german city of dresden. and we'll have the latest from berlin film festival where fans have been finding out what it's like to grow up in a tough neighborhood of naples and the movie just. oh i'm terry martin welcome to the program the mexican drug lord known as el chapo is to appeal against the ten guilty verdicts handed down by. us jury the lawyer for

you walk in goes man said the trial was unfair and declared the fight isn't over well guzman was convicted of running a massive drug smuggling off ration and other related crimes he could spend the rest of his life behind bars the verdicts came after a three month trial in which jurors heard what's been called an avalanche of evidence against him joaquin guzman impassive even as he waited extradition to the u.s. seemingly snared for the final time after two audacious escapes and years eluding the authorities. the same stoicism was on display as the man known as el chapo was convicted of all ten counts related to decades of drug trafficking he gave his wife a thumbs up as he was led from the new york courtroom. to u.s. authorities meanwhile were in a triumphant mood. his conviction we expect will bring

a sense of life without the possibility of parole is a sense from which there is no escape and no return. this conviction is a victory for the american people who is suffered so long and so much guzman made billions pouring poison over our southern border because mine will likely be housed at this supermax prison in florence colorado known as the alcatraz of the rockies authorities are confident guzman won't find it as amenable to escape as the two prisons he sensationally broke out of in his native mexico. those escapes including one down a tunnel dug from underneath his prison cell toilet and a subsequent rolling stone interview with star actor sean penn have contributed to guzman's almost mythological status in his home country. there was

a hollywood element to guzman's recapture by mexican authorities as they stormed his hideout in two thousand and sixteen they said later that el chapo was meeting with pan had been instrumental in leading them to him. but some of the charges that got guzman convicted are anything but myths conspiracy to commit murder money laundering and a legit use of violence against enemies of his powerful cinna lower drug cartel. is set to be sentenced in june and will likely spend the rest of his life in jail his attorney says he will appeal the conviction. our washington correspondent helena humphrey has been following the trial and so does this assessment. for the u.s. government this guilty verdict is a moment in history after a decades long cat and mouse like game between your enforcement and the world's most wanted drug trafficker joaquin guzman known as el chapo time simply seems to

be above the norm he was the mastermind behind a network of tunnels allowing for the trafficking of tons of costs a drugs from mexico into the united states tunnels which also saw him escape from prison on two occasions and in twenty seventeen mexico finally granted an extradition request from the united states fearing that if he continued to evade their clutches justice may never be served but as much as el chapo story seems reminiscent of a hollywood movie his crimes were serious at times very grisly exposed corruption in many levels of mexican government and as head of the soon a lower court tell he pocketed some fourteen billion dollars he's now due to be sentenced in june and it's expected that this time he will spend the rest of his life behind bars. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today australia is set to reopen

a controversial offshore migrant detention center on christmas island close to indonesia the government said it was expecting a new wave of asylum seekers arriving by boat and this move comes after the government was defeated in parliament with m.p.'s passing a law making it easier for ill refugees in other offshore camps to be treated in australian hospitals and u.s. president all of trump says he may extend his march first deadline for reaching a trade deal with china trump said he might do so if the two countries are close to reaching a deal if there's no agreement u.s. tariffs are set to more than double on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports you know reason and wildfires are raging in southern chile authorities in the city of we on have raised the highest level of alert in the region but they say home or safe as the country's south battles that blaze the north is dealing with

flooding and landslides that left at least six people dead now to spain where there could be a snap election if the socialist government spending plans don't get approved by parliament today prime minister peter sanchez is reliant on the support of two cattle on pro independence parties to get his budget passed but it's unlikely that he'll succeed because the cattle on parties have so far given the budget a blanket rejection the separatists want sanchez to agree to talks on self-determination for their region but the government argues that spain's constitution does not allow that. well for more on the boat in the spanish parliament let's cross now to journalist haim a bit law squares in madrid how likely is it that the prime minister can strike a deal with the catalan national parties that would allow him to pass this budget.

disappointed seems a very very difficult situation and of course the b.d.t. moment. rejected twenty nine thousand budget. negotiations broke when they tried to introduce the question of so determination and the government has already said that that red line that they are willing to negotiate and you think about that i mean they should so and it's going to it's very difficult and it's unsatisfactory due today so it seems pedro sanchez is stuck between a rock and a hard place i understand he has just entered the parliament we're looking at some live pictures now from the parliament where the debate is about to get under way on that budget could pedro sanches his government end up collapsing over this budget vote. yeah definitely by the sounds of has already said he doesn't manage to pass the budget today he will call for elections we is

a matter of time when these elections probably are going to be called so yes we can see romney today the end of. the government and you elections well next week. and it looks like he's just about to speak right now if the government falls what would that mean for the catalan independence movement. well there's definitely a use for the consul on logic because there's a fine chance was. to negotiate then probably after the new and actually it's called then supposing that the done the right wing parties take the government and they are not that. they are not willing to negotiate them from the they will find more hide what she should from the central government done before.

ok what do we expect from that debate in parliament today how it is about to unfold what you think well i think that's. all the parties you parliament are now think in all the elections the next elections i think that everybody has moved on parliament course there will be some negotiations maybe in the sidelines trying to strike a deal a last minute deal but i think that. everybody is already thinking on the new election not the elections that are going to be called by something then we're going to find we're going to have a lot of surprises. this morning the vote will take place from the early in the afternoon and we will see what happens i thank you so much for bringing us up to date that was thomas bella's quest there reporting just outside the parliament in madrid. well that crucial budget vote that's taking place in

parliament this morning as is happening just as the trial of twelve catalan separatist leaders gets underway in the spanish capital the defendants face charges of rebellion and submission over their roles in the twenty seventeen independence referendum that referendum was deemed illegal by spain's supreme court if convicted the defendants could face decades in prison. dawn in madrid spain trial of the century begins twelve catalan defendants formally regional government ministers now stand accused of rebellion and sedition by the spanish state. kim torah catalonians current president who's not facing charges talks to his colleagues before the trial if you think you can have all that it's being seen as a test of spain's unity and of its judicial system and it's being televised to fend off potential accusations of not being fully transparent but. outside

protests some pro independence. and some anti here supporters of the far right vox party which is in a quirk of the spanish justice system actually part of the prosecution. for a long time the separatists have been challenging the unity of spain the constitutional order they have been doing that due to the systematic fashion of several spanish governments. as the trial began in madrid in berlin colace put him on who spearheaded the catalan independence vote in two thousand and seventeen that was then declared illegal by the central spanish government spoke from self-imposed exile. but if you really are you sure came up with hellish but you know from today the spanish judicial system is being tested. we're in a democracy in a rule of law government the judicial system is one of the fundamental pillars.

this is a stress test for spanish democracy. off to work thousands of pro independent supporters congregate in boss alona spain's government may hope this trial draws a line under a constitutional and political crisis but for thousands of supporters of catalan his independence the trial might not resolve anything it's all. health care workers in nigeria have gone on strike just days before that country's general election it's highlighted the anger felt by many nigerians at the government's management of the public sector and the economy strike puts additional pressure on president mohamed to bihari who is expected to face a neck and neck race with the main opposition candidate our correspondent adrian krishna reports from yola in northeastern nigeria. sophia philip mudd and her colleagues at the federal hospital in yola may look happy but deep down angry in april and may last year they went on strike to demand

higher pay but instead of a raise the government refused to pay them for the two months they didn't work nobody below us we need to get justice. we want dead then justice is throughout the country federal health workers are on a three day warning strike that will end on wednesday. the health workers demand for their remaining salaries to be paid by the federal government insist that they didn't work for these two months and this is why they will not be paid. union representatives accused the government of not focusing enough on the health care sector doesn't get what i wanted workers. which is that where we're going to say i'm going to get we do the same thing but. what is it on some of the members of his own about dozen of the. labor unions are threatening further strikes if the government doesn't pay them despite the hardship

sophia philip mudd says she's prepared to keep on fighting. now to venice will and as that country's humanitarian crisis deepens the standoff is intensifying between the government and the opposition over delivery of u.s. aid massive demonstrations across the country on tuesday demanded humanitarian aid be let in and a swell of migrants in colombia also took to the streets in the border city of cuckoo tah where the aid supplies are currently being stored demonstrators marched to protest against embattled president nicolas maduro who claims the aid is fake and is blocking its entry into venice walen. well german press. that. is visiting that is where his neighbor colombia for talks with the country's leaders colombia has seen a massive influx of migrants due to the crisis across the border for. his killing

by a show arrived in bogota only a few weeks ago but already she's out on the streets from morning to evening selling sweets she's desperate to earn a little cash so she can feed her baby boy. i left venezuela because i couldn't buy anything that no food no diapers. mescaline story is typical for the many venezuelans who have fled hardship at home and who live a hand to mouth existence in colombia there are no migrant camps to shelter them often the only help they receive comes from the generosity of the locals. the government can afford to offer only limited aid with so many colombians living in poverty themselves. the german president's visit comes at a critical time colombians have shown compassion responding to the mass migration into their country. but they're worried the political crisis across the border will

escalate into civil war. further swelling the number of new arrivals. frank walter steinmeier is keen to prevent that. is missing mid to long view good for. we have to find ways and means to avoid the bloodshed that many fear could ensue in venezuela. so that's why i hope that there will soon be a presidential election it's. on the presidential election which will give quite doth a legitimacy that he himself sees as necessary. fatherhood steinmeyer and colombia's president even do agree that aid needs to get into venezuela as quickly as possible nope it meet the. to not let humanitarian aid into the country is a crime against humanity there. is if you think it was it has to happen fast. that the international community could not accept the current

situation. the world can't stand by and do nothing as aid is prevented from entering. that. duke and believes everything must be done to get aid into venezuela he did not say if that should include military intervention. you're watching news still to come this half hour the girl whose pain move the world and helped end the vietnam war. she has just received a peace prize here in germany and she tells you about the impact the famous photo had on her life. well here in germany interior minister hall says a hope has called for a change in the law that could see stricter conditions applied to foreign producers of telecom equipment used here lynn is mulling whether to let china's huawei be

part of building germany's five g. network the telecoms equipment maker is believed to have ties to the chinese government and military under the proposed changes companies would need to undergo security certification in germany and sign a new spying agreement this after china blasted the u.s. for attempting to stop countries doing business with our way. well christoph cover from a business is here with me to talk about all this hey christophe so what does the government want to achieve with this with this move well there are conflicting interests here so on the one side there is this public debate over communication security over why is role of what the company may be able to do or not and on the other hand there germany doesn't want to strain political and obviously economic ties with china especially since up to now there has not been solid proof of these

allegations that why is paying for spying for the chinese government only indicators so the idea is here rather than excluding the company who is the world market leader in this five g. technology or rather than excluding it from the extension of the five g. network in germany the idea is to monitor it much more code closely here because understand finding alternatives to the technology that way is offering is pretty tough to how effective do you think this legislation would be well i think a change in legislation aims to close loopholes here so the idea of setting setting up brule zz is a good idea i mean did the legislation of the move by the german government aims to nullify legislation whereas the telecommunications companies or companies in general must provide information that they have to their respective governments that's true not only for chinese companies but for companies in other regions of the world as well so the idea is to tackle that or to address that is certainly

a good one the question is however if the world market leader in this five g. technology doesn't in the end find ways to circumvent this legislation and also industry groups say that it could pose a threat up to further development when other companies from other parts of the world might not bow to this legislation in germany this is a story i'm sure are going to be hearing a lot more about christoph cover from a business desk thanks so much. no the international film festival where did all his maya schwager caught a screening of piron is a film about growing up in a tough neighborhood of naples and falling foul of the oh. you're young you have money. and guns. the world is your oyster. at least until someone kills you piranhas tells the story of a group of young men from central working class naples they descend into crime as

they pursue girls shoes and complete control over their neighborhood. but it's not just a simple coming of age story it's based on reality the director and writers say the film's themes of youth powerlessness and crime are universal. i feel. the film is set in naples but it's really about adolescence so it's not a sociological film or at least we weren't trying to make a film about the sociology of the criminal underworld there it was simply a way to tell the story but at the heart of it it was a story about adolescence and its relationship to a certain type of criminality you know that. for everyone involved this story was deeply personal hundreds of thousands of people leave italy every year it's the only way for a poor young italian to find a better life except that is to be seduced by money guns and glory and turn to organized crime. lead actor francesco to napoli

said he found it all too easy to identify with his character because he comes from as he put it a difficult area of naples. even though i've always worked and i try to avoid them i know people like this who are gang members. everyone involved in this project clearly felt passionately about it these were non actors actually from the neighborhood that's portrayed in the film and the statement that the movie makes about life in southern italy makes it low key one of the most political films of the festival roberto saviano famous for his two thousand and six book wrote the book on which promises based and co-wrote the script. of course this is the political story in the highest sense it's the story of a generation and its destiny is this the only money and power. around us is in competition for the golden bear at the berlin film festival a local personal story whose sense of hopelessness mixed with aspiration can be

felt the world over. peace activist kim poke fun t.v. has won germany's dresden peace prize a photo of her taken during the vietnam war became one of the most famous war fighters of all time is going to castles met her interest. is to say that kumble to be the recipient of such a thing that this team was a word. with so much meaning behind it can focus famous for being the subject of a photograph. a photograph of such power that it galvanized public opinion around the world about the war in vietnam and helped change the course of history. i own voice. oh boy totally to

look my pitch you know my mouth my eye my body is the worst moment of human mean as a little girl i felt so embarrassed why i was naked and my brothers my ties in with clothes on. i just do it right there and i turned my hat and i saw fall bombs landing that that fire was everywhere and the fire actually burned my clothes off. i was nine you know and i remember i thought

oh my goodness i got. so i would be out. and so people always see me different the way. of course that moment that picture that day and i live forever. now i know i have a picture i am not. feeling embarrassed like before. but it is not much to me until the moment when i have a child i look my boy i never warned the children suffer like that little girl. is me and so from that point is that really touch me and that picture became soul powerful give for me. if everyone can learn to live with love with hope and
