i'm irish waiter thank you for joining us in venezuela a showdown at the colombian border is heating up opposition supporters confront soldiers who closed a key crossing point troops fired tear gas at rock throwing protesters in the venezuelan border town of orana early this morning clashes erupted as supporters of opposition leader go pear to escort humanitarian aid deliveries across the border why don't it's called on venezuelan soldiers to let the convoy pass but incumbent president nicolas maduro says his country doesn't need the a deliveries and called them a political stunt designed to undermine his government. at the colombian border for us javier there have already been clashes early this morning what more can you tell us about that. well of course it's a very tense atmosphere to. keep our activities while
2:03 pm
inside to get his own government off because my little try to avoid people from the border in the first place at any cost so there have been road closures and also clashes with protesters in different parts of the country that are taking this state this saturday past the day for government change that's how they interpret it now here in colombia where we're standing right now just at the entrance off a building you dad is lodging the volunteers and also the military aid itself they are scheduled to depart in just a few hours towards the border with when this will i doubt is now officially closed by the government of people last night lou so for some people here are very very excited on the one hand because they feel passionate about the fight that they are fighting for their country but of course also afraid about what might happen. like the opposition leader is in. along the hour right now even though he is not
2:04 pm
allowed to leave venezuelan soil how is he going to get back into into venezuela now. well that is perhaps the most pressing question to ask you right now because we have to say to be fair that entering colombia from venezuela illegally is a very easy thing to do we've seen it many times these days because people do not use the official border but they use alternative ways there is a very broad possibilities there to cross the border the question is how did they do ensure colombia did get treated as an illegal migrant worker and chris as the president that our chief coffin as well and of its armed forces that allowed him to come in he claims that was the case but we don't know how he'll get back in because it will ultimately depend on whether he. where loyalty to them or to the possibility. of their way to us for us thank you so much.

nigerians are voting for a new parliament and for their next president the elections were postponed by a week with a delay causing tensions in the country to flare up after four years of economic stagnation and failure to deal with the jihadist terror group boko haram president mohammad who bihari is under pressure from challenger. long lines of voters formed outside some polling stations that open their doors later than planned. have to a long wait at the gates of this polling station in the capital of voters rushed to cast their ballots it opened two hours later than scheduled some were overwhelmed by the crowds and upset at the lack of organization i'm not typing with to do this as this was the worst of what only because. it's a so i'll try to do stuff and it's i'm not certain. others are hopeful that the aleck. in will bring about real change. as a woman has
2:06 pm
a nigeria this and that she saw. him in the future of. the future friend of. the sheikh to show. their private practice what it takes to. incumbent president who hamadou bihari voted in his northern home town of daraa where he brushed aside the prospect of defeat is that if you lose i select from what would you accept defeat on congress lead that we've got i've got all the cultural tradition. his main challenger actually to abu bakar has pledged to accept the results if they are credible he and his people's democratic party have vowed to quote get nigeria working again saying that the president has wasted the last four years mugari promise to crack down on corruption and the jihadist group boko her around but the problems still persist.

high unemployment is another issue affecting nigerians. many are hoping the election will be a new beginning for the country. did have years as are increases outside a polling station in that area commercial capital lagos' editor and how has the voting been going so far did this week long delay have an impact. well the polling station where i am right now in our pop and there goes everything went pretty well actually most of the people who are registered he already went out to wood so all good right here but not in all parts of the country especially in the northeast of the country we hear reports of attacks and three different towns in the area where boko haram is very active remember the terror group has threatens to target these elections and residents in maiduguri the provincial capital there reported several explosions this morning however the security forces have not confirmed that it was
2:08 pm
a terrorist attack here in lagos there were many logistical problems that we've observed today many of the polling station where we went to open really really late two three four hours later than scheduled a lot of people i talked to were pretty angry about it because in the first place that was the reason why i nick the electoral commission decided to postpone this elections because they said they for peroration and logistical reasons they need one more week but nonetheless they did manage to really solve all this problems and start things on time here so what are the main issues that voters care about for this election well three key issues that where we talked about in the campaigns this is the issue of unemployment insecurity in huge parts of the country and corruption those also those three key issues that the government party of his party a.p.c. has been campaigning with they say they made tremendous prove mens in all of these areas but many people lead to see you see it's quite quite the other way yes bill
2:09 pm
has succeeded part ways in pushing the anti corruption fight for what the security is still a problem and huge parts of the country more and more problems are coming up in that sense and also the unemployment rate has really is significantly increased on the wrist watch. very quickly if you can how much of a big how much of a challenger is i will back out to the incumbent president is he actually have some clout to see have a chance. well especially in the south and the comma coverage here in lagos he will probably get quite some votes because people are not happy about the unemployment situation the economy situation many believe that he would be the better president and that sense but still has a massive supporter base in the northern part of the country so i expect it's going to be neck and neck race to increase for us in lagos thank you so much. a top roman catholic cardinal has admitted that the church destroyed their records

about priests who sexually abused children reinhard mox brought this to light in a speech at the vatican conference on preventing sexual abuse by the clergy and friday marks met with some of the victims and heard first hand testimony of their traumatic experiences. millions a bad start to move my legs that's my sex. i had no idea what was this about that day my whole life and. it will never be the same. people have told jesus saves. pieces on top of things for also taking off my shoes. it was the only thing i could focus on to take me out of what was happening. to what he sees or. let your dog.
2:11 pm
we've. also. brought the world a proper truck thank you thank you thank you let's go now live to our correspondent martin jacques who's in rome margins are today cardinal marx of germany admitted that the church destroyed its files on paedophiles among us ranks that certainly allowed for more children to fall victim to abuse does this come as a surprise at all. well just to make clear i mean he did not explain exactly what he stakes tent of the struction of files he said that this something that had happened inside the church we do not know if yet if this was actually church policy or this is actually the purview and the doing of particular bishop priest of particular congregations a role in the world nonetheless i mean this most certainly essentially increases the problem exponentially because what we've been talking about for for this many
2:12 pm
years is really about turning information to justice systems i mean police et cetera to investigate cases of abuse know a new layer is really laid on top of that which is there will be presumably a call to bring police and national authorities to investigate the church itself for the cover up of people committing sexual abuses so it really confirms many of the suspicions that people had it really makes the problem old the more all the more important to be here earlier in our program the spokesman of the german bishops conference said today that they are still quote trying to define it was zero tolerance means this is rather shocking considering we're talking about serious crimes involving children and lives being destroyed right. most certainly most certainly so hard to fathom that after twenty years of this really being at the very very top of the agenda for the church it is only now what
2:13 pm
this summit does a conversation about what zero tolerance could mean specially given the fact that for the last four years syria tolerance has actually been promised by the church and by this pope which goes to say that you know in many ways that was an empty promise or at least they did not quite understand what they were getting themselves seem to the fact is that the revelations that were presented today by cardinal marg's bring the question of zero tolerance into a completely new light because i think that no has been confirmed that the church not only snot capable of solving and addressing these issues but the question of tolerance cannot possibly start within the walls of the institution not in quickly if you can do you see any real chance that the church is going to start turning over the evidence of these crimes to the civil authorities. i do know at this time see this as a concrete possibility i do think that there is movement it seems that cardinal
2:14 pm
marks is one of the main voices really trying to bring both light and push the church in that direction but let me tell you every victim to which we have talked with him we have told has essentially said they see the pope as to being very much committed to change but with very much alone surrounded by a very large body that would refer none of these issues to be raced not in gap for us in rome thank you so much for your reporting. sports now matched a twenty three in the bundesliga kicked off on friday night with made table that employment at home to lolis just got finishing in a one one draw the home fans were shocked when steven silva slotted in the opener after just two minutes on the clock. freeman supporters had to wait until the stroke of half time. the equalizer. david klassen hammered home an unstoppable shot and the result is still caught languishing in the relegation zone for another week
