a showdown at the colombian border is heating up opposition supporters have confronted 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 the clashes erupted as supporters of opposition leader idol prepared to escort humanitarian aid deliveries across the border. tear gas and tension on the venezuelan border the opposition supported by leaders from neighboring countries in the elsewhere have called for a revolt against the government of incumbent president nicolas maduro the venezuelan military has been under maduro strict order to prohibit u.s. backed deliveries of food and medicine from entering the country madeira says the foreign aid is unnecessary and intended to undermine his government for weeks a key motorway bridge leading into venezuela from colombia has been barricaded and guarded day and night but calls to storm the border came on friday night.

particularly from opposition leader and self declared interim president one quite old. on february twenty third a month after having assumed my powers as interim president the venezuelan people will be on the streets demanding the entry of humanitarian aid and thanking the world for this unprecedented coalition. speaking in colombia quite a was supported in his speech by leaders from colombia chile and paraguay and the head of the organization of american states report say he was able to avert a travel ban with the assistance of the military hundreds of venezuelans camped overnight near the bridge to support the opposition looking to reach a turning point in the weeks long standoff. across. the border following these developments for us so having the self-proclaimed interim president has taken possession of the eight he says he's going to deliver it across the border to venezuela but there are blocked heads at the border imposed

by nicolas maduro how are his supporters and he planning to do this. you can actually literally see how they're going to do that behind me these volunteers are preparing for orders any minute now to start marching orders to the bridge and therefore reach the border that is now closed. to the idea was to collect them in a tear in a just a few steps forward where it is being gathered then collected and then continue to the border with humanitarian aid packages that in theory would have worked if the border was open but we know that that is not the case anymore so it's going to probably require forests to break those barriers and they continue on until now as you can see the crack is retained by the bees it is contained it has been very well organized so far but i cannot see this being controlled once they start marching people are angry and anxious and impatient. and there have also been reports of

four venezuelan soldiers defecting across the border to colombia what more can you tell us about that. it would have been confirmed by migration authorities in colombia. because it may be a very symbolic act by supporters that were already in the side of one party. vote we seem to have lost. for now but we'll continue following these developments for you as the situation in venezuela continues. and we're going to move on now to nigeria where people are voting for the new parliament and for the next president the elections were postponed by a week with a delay causing tensions in the country to flare after four years of economic stagnation and failure to deal with

a jihadist terror group boko haram president mohammad who bihari is under pressure from challenger. our correspondent fun if a child sent us this report from the nigerian capital of georgia. far after 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 happy with the delays as this was the worst of what early because. we'll close there but it's a softer order to start and it's not such. others are hopeful that the election will bring about real change. as a woman as a nigerian this and show me so much to me it means the future of. the future of my children of. the future of primal that's

what's its name it's an. incumbent president who hamadou bihari voted in his northern home town of daraa where he brushed aside the prospect of defeat. if you lose my selection will you accept defeat on. social group. for. 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 haram 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. to have a terrace outside

a polling place in nigeria's capital of georgia and joins me now funny nigerian officials have begun counting votes in some polling stations already but there have been reports of delays and some violence what's the buzz on the ground so far. right by a vote counting is underway in fact at this polling station behind me vote counting has just finished and let me give you the results from this voting station which is two hundred thirty three votes for the ruling party but for the challenging for the main challenging party put it p.t.p. party fifty nine votes small now does it tell you anything about the final results of this election of course not i mean this is just one of more than almost one hundred twenty thousand polling stations in this huge country but the situation that people have basically erupting in joy after these results with a report that the two of them tells you a lot about the fact that of course emotions a very much running high here the selection is quite crucial because it could be

the second election where a peaceful transition could take place to a new president or everything stays as it is and the incumbent president president bush hari is going to get another four years to try to fulfill these promises that he has made four years ago for example telling corruption and revamping the economy . those pre-election polls had him and the opponent basically neck and neck there was this week long delay that led to concerns of the vote might not be fair what are nigerians saying about that. exactly due to that fact that there is one week delay days of course skepticism and doubt that could build up over that week whether everything is going to go according to plan but there are many many people ation is going to be involved and a vote rigging is going to be involved in this election now at this point of course nobody not even us to have a bottom line whether this election will play out fairly and it's that it's going to be transparent and this is quite interesting people are actually discussing

politics much more openly i've spoken to a few people at a polling station and they've a very opinionated about the current government something that would have not been possible possible at that extent just a decade ago so yes some change is actually taking place but as i say there is skepticism that is surrounding this election because it has been delayed by one week as you pointed out and quickly if you can funny how big of a challenge or how much clout to actually have against president obama the. but especially the southern part of this country is rather poor especially around the niger delta and that's where actually has a base but in the north. president haris from that's where he will be able probably to collect a lot of votes but then again you have to make a a difference here between the northeast and the rest of the north because in the east you've got boko haram you have a lot of disappointed people who did not receive what they had hoped for what they

had expected from this government and that security is going to going to come down to a very to cut to horse battle here between the two and is probably going to be a very narrow result. following the elections and coming to us from a good just thank you so much. now let's turn to some of the other stories making news around the world sudan's president omar al bashir has declared a year long state of emergency and dismissed the federal government took the steps amid growing protests against his government he called on opposition forces to engage in dialogue. in india nearly one hundred people have now died after drinking tainted alcohol and at least two hundred more have been hospitalized officials say the illegal bootleg liquor contained toxic amounts of methanol through a pretty crease it's hope to see most of the victims were tea plantation workers in the country's north east. south korean media are reporting that north korean leader

it will never be the same. people as told jesus saves. he says on top of a cross was hanging off my chain. it was the only thing i could focus on to take me out of what was happening. the essenes to. let you know you all them ugly. we. also. bought for the whole the workable the truck thank you thank you thank you canno marks of germany has admitted the church destroyed files unpaid of files the most certainly allowed for more children to fall victim to abuse earlier i spoke with our correspondent martin back in rome and i asked him if the news came as a surprise 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 around the world nonetheless i mean this most certainly essentially increases the problem exponentially because what we've been talking about for for this many 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 he says there will be presumably a goal to bring police and national authorities to investigate the church itself for the cover up of people committing sexual abuse and 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. and as you all modern day news over get you can always download our app and get news on the go we are available from google play or at the apple store that'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as
