there's a. joke of the gag order you are going to come to w. . the as. well as. this is due to be a new flight from berlin and it looks like a snap election for spain as the government loses a crucial parliamentary vote as he arrived for the vote prime minister pedro sanchez knew the catalans parties that had been supporting him at threatened to oppose his first budget and that's just what they did we'll go live to madrid. also coming up drug lord as chapel convicted in new york a u.s.

jury finds joaquin guzman guilty on ten charges he could spend the rest of his life behind bars but his lawyer says the verdicts were unfair and guzman will appeal. and the girl whose pain that moved the world and helped to end the vietnam war now she's a unesco goodwill ambassador and peace activist and she's received the peace prize awarded by the german city to address to. the at a. time soon so much god that's good to have you with us we start with breaking news on the growing government crisis in spain and the last hour the spanish parliament has projected the socialist government spending plans which means there will likely be a snap election a prime minister pedro sanchez needed the support of to the land pro independence parties to get his budget passed but those parties voted against the budget and

that is because sanchez refused to engage in talks about self-determination for their region that is something spain's constitution doesn't allow for. let's go right to journalist jaime even ask us he's standing by in madrid are just outside parliament there heinie good to see you so the spanish parliament as we said has just rejected a sanchez's budget bring us up to date on what's been happening there well a suspect. then his government finally lost that vote for the two into nineteen budgets we're seeing now there members of parliament common knowledge of the vote it was a very quick vote. vote and there was nothing out of the script and finally the council in part you decided not to support president sanchez and all eyes are now looking at him. and whether he calls for elections or a snap elections or not yet i mean that is the question now what is the likelihood

of that does this mean that the prime minister's government will collapse and we will see a snap election. it's very very likely very likely is very likely. there are calls for an election very soon even probably next week and now is about to when this is not election is going to be called it can be probably and the end of april or maybe even made a g.n.d. of may we. will local elections and regional elections are scheduled for. are it's a highly we're talking about another poland carried of turmoil and spanish politics if the government falls and there is an election as you were saying what will that mean then for the catalan independence movement. well things can get really hard for them because it is very uncertain what would be the outcome of

a snap election. right wing parties are likely to be able to form a coalition in. parliament and that will be a very bad means that dialogue with the council and bodies will end and in the matter of for example a conviction of leaders and are now on trial. benefits that they would probably would be very very very little which is strong and right and right wing government in brain up to snuff election writes a very big consequences there journalist jaime been asked speaking to us from madrid where the spanish parliament has just rejected the socialist government's spending plans jaime thank you so much now to venezuela the government and opposition are facing off over delivery of u.s.

aid to states so massive demonstrations take place across the country demanding humanitarian aid be let in venezuelan migrants in colombia also took to the streets in the border city of where the aid supplies are currently being stored demonstrators marched to protest against president nicolas maduro he claims that the aid is fake and is blocking its entry into venezuela. now german president funk is visiting venezuela's neighboring colombia for talks with the country's leaders colombia has seen a massive influx of migrants due to the crisis across the border. yes 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 them as well because i couldn't buy anything that no food no dike was. escalating 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 as. it's so that's why i hope that there will soon be a presidential election. in the presidential election which will give quite door

the legitimacy that he himself sees as necessary. dia's fatherhood steinmeyer and colombia's president even do agree that aid needs to get into venezuela as quickly as possible nope it would meet the to not let humanitarian aid into the country is a crime against humanity. is if you think it was got to be it has to happen fast. that the international community could not accept the current situation. the world can't stand by and do nothing but aid is prevented from entering. that. you can believes everything must be done to get aid into venezuela he did not say if that should include military intervention. let's bring in nick member of the german parliament from the americas conservatives he's

accompanying a german president fine on his visit to colombia and he joins us from both without mr nick to see you good to have you back on our program now venezuela's crisis as we know is having a huge impact there in colombia there are more than one million refugees that have left venezuela and and entered colombia from your talks there what is the sense that you get how is colombia coping with this. i think there colombia takes a very serious concern on the whole issue we have true remember that with the crisis in minutes it's basically three fold it's a severe humanitarian crisis without doubt the most to be in the region for many decades it is the constitutional crisis that we see unfold in the fight for the presidency but it is also a crisis that has the potential to destabilize the whole region which more than three million veterans who fled their country into the neighboring regions we will be visiting. refugee shelters both here and in ecuador later today

but it's clear that this is an issue that is of utmost concern for all governments in the region for colombia and how about for you and for germany mr know how worried about you about are you about this a power struggle currently taking place. i think we have taken a clear view of your standpoint are together with or partners in europe working closely together with our partners and friends in the region in the limit group in the oas you have recognized. mr grey do as an interim president in accordance with the constitution with a clear objective to. move towards a presidential election that will provide the legitimacy that he himself seeks. but there are other concerns as well we want to. make sure that humanitarian aid that is being blocked by the majority can enter the country that is something that will

also be discussing today and tomorrow. and of course our almost immediate concern is that an escalation of violence in the country can be avoided and that's where the key to a peaceful solution a single rests with the military administrator mr nick you said it yourself germany has a joint author european states and recognizing on why there was the interim president but isn't it mother will still be elected the president of venezuela what is germany's aim here is a pushing for regime change. i think this constitutional crisis has evolved over many years i think from our standpoint the only legitimate democratic institution left in the parliament that was elected in twenty fifty with a two sortes majority for the opposition. group. that mr liberal tried to prolong his term in office by an election that was. a fraud and

was not recognized domestically and internationally and it is accordance with the constitution that if there is no legitimate president that the president of the national assembly would insure of take an interim role as president until there is a legitimate elected president what is then mr the best way to solve this political crisis we heard that even to kay has not said if that should include military intervention do you think military intervention is a necessary step. i don't think that anyone would seriously see that as a the preferred below viable option i think we want to have a peaceful solution we want of access what military aid we would have want to have a peaceful transition of power in a democratic process in venezuela. and also was aleutian of the human. always will be tearing into the country over the peaceful resolution to the crisis

that is the in there a mr under a nick a german m.p. there speaking in bogota thank you so much for joining us. thank you. let's take a look at how at some other stories making news around the world belgium's airports are at a standstill due to a national strike to demand higher pay almost no flights are landing in or departing from the country airport bosses say they cannot guarantee safety with a skeleton staff of the strike is also paralyzed belgium's railways and courts in the highlands election commission is seeking to dissolve the party that nominated princess overturn the king's older sister for prime minister of the princess herself was already disqualified on monday after the king objected to her move into politics she had aligned herself with the opposition to thailand's military backed government australia 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 the government suffered a defeat in parliament when lawmakers passed legislation making it easier for sick refugees in other offshore camps to be treated in australian hospitals. the mexican drug lord known as el chapo is to appeal the ten guilty verdicts handed down by a us jury on tuesday the lawyer for joaquin guzman said the verdicts were unfair man was convicted of running a massive drug smuggling operation and other related crimes he could spend the rest of his life behind bars. impassive even as he awaited extradition to the u.s. seemingly sned for the final time off to two all day she says scapes and years eluding feel for a tease. 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 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. made billions pouring poison over our southern border. likely be housed at this supermax prison in florence colorado it's known as the alcatraz of the rockies. authorities are confident find it as a meaningful 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 actor sean penn have contributed to close months almost mythical status. there was a hollywood element to guzman's recapture by mexican authorities as they stormed his hideout in twenty sixteen. they said later that a meeting with pan had been instrumental in leading them to him. but for some who live in his mexican home region of sin a lower it's not the fame they will miss but the money. we know that close to here in body a while to help a lot of people to build roads schools churches and well they'll suffer because that support will end because the government doesn't give the support that is needed. to help the sick and also supported them. but man's charity can't make up for the charges laid against him conspiracy to

commit murder money laundering and the 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 against the conviction. you're watching news still to come in this half hour the girl whose pain above the world and how to end the vietnam war can put fun t.v. has just received a peace prize here in germany tell you about the impact the photo has on her life. but first nato defense ministers are meeting in brussels to look at steps needed to protect europe if a u.s. russian nuclear disarmament treaty fails secretary-general against altenburg urged russia to return to comply with the iron of treaty but said the body was also making plans for a world without the deal that deal bans the development and possession of intermediate range nuclear missiles the i n f is under threat after washington

announced its withdrawal from the agreement earlier this month accusing russia of violating the treaty. and let's bring in our correspondents. covering the story for us at teri schultz is with nato in brussels and aaron tilton is in moscow for us if you can both hear me terry we can start with you what steps could nato take if the i.n.f. treaty does lapse as many expect to what options will be discussed there well of course nato is not a party to this treaty between the u.s. and russia but most of alliance territory would be the battleground if any conflict breaks out between the two sides so the alliance is very much invested in its first choice saying that the i.m.f. is preserved but as you mentioned that looks less and less likely so many allies are now looking forward and saying some kind of arms control agreement needs to be created in a world without the i.m.f. today the focus will be on listening to acting defense secretary patrick shanahan

coming here from washington to see what exactly are the u.s. has plans as it waits for the end of this six month period that it's given russia to come into compliance just exactly what is washington thinking of doing next and we really haven't heard much because the u.s. says it has remained in compliance and has not moved ahead so all eyes on washington today all right erin let's come to you in moscow at the same time the talks with russia continue nato secretary general again stoltenberg has been speaking let's listen to what he said all remain focused now is to preserve the treaty there is a window or two to two for russia to come back into compliance because the withdrawal process will not be finished until august so there is a six month window for russia to come back into compliance on the continue to urge russia to come back into combines with the treaty ok aaron we heard young

stoltenberg there say there is a window of opportunity he's going to be meeting with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov at the munich security conference so what are the chances that they could still revive this treaty. well from the russian perspective nieto probably isn't the right negotiating partner you have to remember moscow sees this as a bilateral issue between the united states and russia basically they say the united states is attempting to expand its power on the world stage and they really need to engage in bilateral talks and they want to try to save the i enough but we've also been speaking to military experts here in moscow and many of them are quite skeptical but the i enough in general they're saying it doesn't take into account chinese military power you have to remember moscow is very concerned about the expansion of chinese military power on the international stage and they see if there's any real hope of achieving meaningful arms control in the world stage it's going to have to be between beijing moscow and the united states working together

that would be an entirely new treaty so terry coming back to you if this existing are enough isn't saved is there any indication how the u.s. would respond to russian i n f violations in the future. not yet the u.s. says it's of bited by the treaty so it hasn't fully explored its options and what europeans have been most interested in hearing so far is what the u.s. won't do and that's something that was emphasized in my interview with u.s. ambassador to nato key bailey hutchison we don't intend to put something new in europe and most certainly we're not even even considering nuclear so i think we will bring our allies along with us tell them what we're looking at so that they will know what to expect but they this is a defense for them as well as for us and it is a defense that is necessary for us to see the risks and assure that we can. protect and the terror against the risks of russia's missiles

so as you heard from ambassador hutchison the game right now is to reassure nato allies of what the u.s. won't do you will be hearing from acting defense secretary shanahan about what they might do next here at this meeting all right teri schultz in brussels and erin tilton in moscow thank you both. now it's an image that sent shock waves around the world a young girl running from napalm bombs dropped on her village in vietnam in one nine hundred seventy two the picture of kim phuc fanti became one of the most famous war photos of all time she's now a peace activist and she's been awarded the dressed in peace prize for her work and her message to every is going to kettles sat down with her. this is to say that kumble to be the recipient of such

a thing that this teen 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. voice. oh boy totally to look my picture alone my mouth my. face my body is the warthe moment of human mean as a little girl i felt so embarrassed why i was naked and my brother's make housing was clothes on.

i just do it right there and i turned my head and i saw fall bombs landing that that fire was everywhere and the fire actually burd my clothes off. congress nine you know and i remember i thought oh my goodness i got. so i would be really. and so people always see me a different way of course that moment that picture that. i live for and. now i know i have a piece joe am not. feeling embarrassed like before. but is not much to do until the moment when i have a child i love my boy. now but when the

children suffer by bad litter go with me. and so from that point is that touch me and that picture became so powerful good for me. if everyone can learn to live with love with hope and forgiveness absolutely we don't need war. if that lugo in that picture can do it so everyone can do it too. right moving on now to the berlin international film festival where did i use my a shooter went to a screening of khurana a film about growing up in a tough neighborhood of naples take a look. 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 the 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. but 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. but even though i've always worked and i've tried to avoid them i know people like this who are going 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 amara wrote the book on which promise is 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 that 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. coming up here and have you eco africa or checking out a sustainable bike made from bamboo and you've got that's coming right out.
