changing. digital. stories march be on t w. this is state of the news life from more pressure on venezuela's president nicolas maduro u.s. vice president mike pence is to meet latin american leaders to work out how to bring him down that follows a weekend of fire the president's troops of last attempts to bring humanitarian aid into venice were also on the program the arab league on the unite and the european union meet for the first time

a high on the agenda of their summit in egypt terrorism and migration. nicer surprises at the academy awards in los angeles. and you're convinced you. mean the. drama about race relations speed sales for best picture another unexpected good but is a movie a cold until the oscar for best actress in the fact. i'm still gale welcome to the program venezuela's opposition leader quite there is missing leaders of the lima group of latin american countries today in the colombian capital but the top u.s. vice president mike pence is also after mr himself as well as interim president washington because they want. he's back as the standoff with president nicolas

maduro four people were killed and hundreds wounded along venezuela's border at the weekend but why those supporters clashed with the door open security forces in a failed attempt to bring international aid into the country. let's get the latest from danger because what and how do i get this season the colombian city of kuta on the border with welcome have it what can we expect from this emergency conference in bogota. well phil what we are likely to expect is to see them as well in a position trying to step up their efforts and to get a more aggressive tone by of this group of countries the so-called lima group and we've heard the representative of one way go to the lima group say that he wants to leave all options on the table all options open and that that might include the use of force now of course that raises the question what does he mean by that and does he contemplate the possibility of military intervention something that no leader of

colombia the united states or one going to himself has actually discarded as a possibility trying to reach that today in this conference is going to be difficult because we have countries like mexico who don't recognize one way to go as interim president of venezuela yet or a countries like peru or a coaster rico or even the european union that have already said even before this conference began that they are in favor of a peaceful solution for venezuela that of course would exclude military intervention ok so what of the a this is a man who has declared himself interim president tried to bring this aid in by volunteers over the weekend and has that's now been turned back does he have a plan b. well from what we've seen so far they didn't really have a plan b. they probably didn't count on venezuela very strict and very aggressive reaction to people entering their border let's not forget that most of the volunteers that want

to bring the aid into venezuela where simply venezuelans it was not necessarily military personnel or police forces not even members of u.s. aid there were even as well and citizens that were simply trying to get into their country with this aid that was plan a but we don't have a plan b. we haven't seen it from living as well in a position and that by the way is very typical of the organization of the venezuelan opposition that has been widely criticized for having very idealistic naive plans if you will many times and then don't have a possibility to somehow reach their most basic goals it is hard to imagine how they want to tear down and bring down the nikolaus my little government if they cannot simply bring a few aid packages into their border so the situation is very difficult and that is why they want more international pressure and looking for that pressure today. we've just been seeing pictures of the weekend's violent confrontations you're there on the border in. just when we started i had going on what is the situation

on the board now. well yeah that was a very typical situation for a latin american city and as you can see has a very normal monday going on right now but we are not directly at the bridge where this incident happened during the weekend and it's important not to forget that there's two groups of very desperate people here at the border first venezuelans who came here to bring the aid that cannot we enter their country cannot join their families and cannot bring basic goods and medicines to their family members they are desperate and the other desperate groups are the vendors who are depend on the sales of products to the venezuelan citizens that have been going on for months the situation is critical and even though police officers and the military is keeping the border shut down and safe so far we don't know if we will see revolts during this week by people who are simply desperate to make a living and to see their families feel. this in kolkata colombia on the border

with venezuela thank you. the closure of the border by a president the door is also causing hardship on the colombian side so it is in the market times used to rely on venezuelans coming across the border to buy that goods but no longer. the part of the market at the colombian venezuelan border it's where venezuelans go to purchase basic goods from colombia the closure of the border is bad for business on a regular sunday josephine a motto which sells ninety five kilos of potatoes today she only sold five made me and only in what will still the produce from wednesday we don't know if we can invest again gab and maybe if they open the border. but they say it will stay closed we're wondering where to go now to help our struggling families in venezuela it's really tough if the border remains closed she will lose everything. cannot get intimate with already lost

a lot of our projects. look how many tomatoes we have left they only last two days or a day with this walk we have to work like this on the sun damages the peppers the potatoes the carrots. carlos says the pot on the market is the only option for thousands of venezuelans though if they close the border for two days we suffer though you know our you know because our customers they are not from colombia they don't come for couteau or pump work or own our horses or murders are the venezuelan people there barbara not going to now go back to another market trader now but list kano was wounded in the weekend clashes at the border. they said ok we live on the border and because it is close that there are no sales no customers but it affects us a lot. nobody knows when the border will reopen meaning more hardship for

traders and their customers on the other side. thanks to some of the other stories making news around the world in japan residents of okinawa have used a non-binding referendum to reject a plan to bring in locating u.s. military base within the. despite the results prime minister shinzo obvious government says it will push ahead with the construction of a base ok now already hosts most of the us military forces in the country. britain's prime minister theresa may has dismissed the call by european union leaders to extend article fifty in order to avoid a no deal bret's it which is may set postponing her country's departure from the e.u. would not solve the impasse and would merely delay an agreement that she insists is within reach. senegal's president has been re-elected according to the country's prime minister the west african states ruling party says president macky sall won fifty seven percent of the vote official results are not expected for

that prosperity was interesting to address the root causes of migrations they talked about stability regarding migration stopping people smugglers and then quite crucially they talked about stability in the international rule based order and that is something that donald tusk in his final press conference just now said that is something that is under threat from global players and that is where these two neighbors the arab states and the european union should work together in order to highlight that unilateralism is the way forward. matters in egypt will stay in that country where the capital cairo has become a magnet for migrants from other parts of north africa and the arab world many of them however live on the margins with few rights and barely enough means to survive i don't have sends us this report. was jailed for a year in ethiopia for taking part in a protest against the government in twenty fifteen he fled to the egyptian capital

when it comes to the migration and combating terrorism i think that. was trying to anything else. here sick respecting human rights egypt some days tawfiq can't make enough money to feed his hungry son but a new leaders would prefer him to remain in egypt rather than arriving on their shores. in nigeria votes being counted following saturday's presidential election according to u.s. observer missions a turnout suffered after the poll was delayed by a wait but despite reports of some violent incidents the country's election commission says voting was generally peaceful the w.'s funny been talking with young nigerians about their political priorities. there's only one topic on people's minds this pentecostal church the election that also goes for the pastor.

of the presidency. just to crouch to refrain from violence as a member of the congregation to twenty five year old is grateful that things here remain peaceful unlike in other parts of nigeria. during service it's irrelevant who has voted for whom it's after church when the discussion moves beyond the gospel. there are more than fourteen million you want to read just supporters this time around compared to twenty fifteen and many of them have voted for the very first time they want to bring about change young people young thirty years old like you danielle you're one of the people who voted for the first time what kind of change. see change in policies that affect us as

youths and young people are going to see changes that economy quite quickly daniels friends begin a heated debate about the future of the economy have been put in handicapped we don't even want to move there is no. we want to move to the other side. those friends of danios who received a voter's card on time voted for a car challenger to incumbent president bihari not because they believe things will change overnight but because they see a different administration is key for they use to clean power one day you no longer waiting for the government's young people i read. and young people who are frustrated and. determined right now to do to get themselves what they want to get . people under thirty already in the majority in nigeria they know that population

growth young people will have more power if they actually use it to hold politicians accountable that process has just started as people like daniel and need to and their friends are getting older. just a few hours u.s. president donald trump is due to fly to vietnam for his second historic meeting with north korea's supreme leader kim jong il but the cames already noyo aboard his official tray was the trump choice of venue what inspired north korea to denuclearize on to open up to economic development. i know is a capital city transforms its bustling streets a stark contrast to its past. and its recent history vietnam has had a lot in common with north korea it's also a communist state ruled with an iron fist it's one party regime reinforced by propaganda and personality cults. in the past it's seen open hostility to western

culture and influence. it's been isolated and an international pariah. but since ninety six vietnam has taken a different path with reforms have opened it up to foreign business. you. know i'm starting point before the reform is similar to north korea's now. you know when there were many things that had to be changed fundamentally. when you switch from a centralized economy to a market economy the important thing is to have a broad and far vision and reform for really and completely rejected. the announced reforms have seen its per capita income soar almost five fold but hanoi hasn't traded prosperity for democracy here the communist party remains firmly in

power keeping a tight lid on free speech and political dissent. but it hasn't come without social transformation the sight of skateboarders in front of lenin statue and annoy would have been impossible not long ago. compare that to today's chang yang where public life is carefully controlled and north korean leaders are still revered as deities. vietnam has rebuilt ties with its former fellow of the united states perhaps a role model for north korea to normalize a troubled relationship. you're watching news live from that still to come with lots of goals in the big but as they get clash between labor crews and state chairs to find out from the talk. about the oscars they had it all started when a in los angeles how to plenty of surprises best picture was one of them going to

the green book a feel good film about race relations britain's livia coleman took best actress for her role with the favorite this year seventy seem to have got the memo about diversity. british rock legends queen the ceremony inside hollywood's dolby theater off to a rousing start fronted by american idol star adam lambert. the band stayed in the spotlight as ronnie malik picked up best actor for his portrayal of freddie mercury in the queen biopic bohemian rhapsody. this and we made a film about a gay man an immigrant who. lived his life just unapologetically himself and the fact that i'm celebrating him and this story with you tonight is

is proof there were longing for for stories like this over the vehicle my i named best actress for her role as queen and in the costume drama the favorite olivia colman said no one was more surprised than her. this is a low yes. but the night's biggest surprise was arguably the pick for best picture and oscar this you. can't buy many critics as racially tone deaf greenbrook story covers controversial ground but its director said it was an important one to tell. this is he's right this is the whole story is about love it's about loving each other and despite our differences and finding out the truth about who we are we're the same people. best director went to mexican filmmaker alfonso clairon for his tiny autobiographical

film roma a movie that highlights the plight of poorly paid to mystic workers. i want to thank the academy for recognizing a few sitting through around an indigenous woman one of the seventy million the mystic workers in the world without works we don't work for rights. roma also won the oscars for foreign language film and cinematography. let's get more from the dome here is an amazing film review of. amazing scott ross for a welcome scott that's not the contrivances that not only about the lack of a host but also about best film yeah i mean green book one best film a lot of people had expected i didn't really but the thing about this film is on the surface it looks like your classic oscar film it's a social issue race relations in the one nine hundred sixty s. but really this film for me is it seems like a throwback it seems seems almost like driving miss daisy in reverse in this case you've got a story it's a white racist played by viggo mortensen becomes

a chauffeur to a successful black musician and they go on a road trip through the segregated south the one nine hundred sixty s. fine but the story it's about relations it's about that period of segregation america but they decide to tell it from the perspective. the white races they said ok he's this his perspective is what we need his story is what we need to tell and that seems to be really tone deaf given you know what's happened in the last even the last couple of years but definitely last ten fifteen twenty years. i think having really missed a trick here because instead of trying to tell the same old stories again and again they could have looked to a film like romo which is a completely different perspective story of a domestic servant and to just domestic servant in mexico in the one nine hundred seventy s. and we see her story of her perspective on on that history completely different story something we haven't seen before i think they really missed a trick by not giving best film and set of as i say the throwback green book when.

spike lee was seen to storm out let's let's talk about let's hear him talk about diversity now. a boring hash tag so why and the former president of the camera or most because science is sure when isaacs i wouldn't be here tonight they open up the cademy to make the camera look more like america's more diverse. so things have moved. a bit so where is the where are the oscars now in terms of diversity yeah i think i mean spike lee complained a bit about green book winning he said the rest got the wrong did that made the wrong call which i thought was a nice. quote but definitely things have moved on especially even just a few years ago with oscar so white two thousand and fifteen when the have you tried become more diverse and tried to push diversity and in terms of nominations this year i mean you had spike lee's black klansman but you also had a film like black panther i'm not entirely black cast in that it picked up seven

nominations won three oscars or if beale street to talk another. entirely by film from the very jenkins which also won an oscar in terms of nominations and representation this is probably the most diverse oscars of all time but of course you know there's still some way to go as i say if you look at the best film winner green book that's a film that could've you know won the oscar back when spike lee was robbed for do the right thing you know thirty years ago they've come a ways but you know there's still some ways to go and what about the ceremony itself it seems to have declined in popularity is it sort of out of touch now i don't know three and a half hours i watch this every every year i can't ever early in the morning. hours in a theater was exciting it was amazing all look at these all these amazing things people nowadays i mean you can follow them on instagram you can see what they're doing where they're having breakfast. three hours of these people is just not

entertaining anymore i think the oscars really has to change radically they have to get shorter maybe just focus on the four or five top categories make it a quick hour and a half ceremony then i'll be in then maybe people start watching again as it is it's just far too much maybe next year they'll just send out to tweet all happy when they're going to. thank you so much. that's going to sports starting with before the match on sunday league leaders dortmund haven't won a game since january but munich closing the gap only a win would do against them because they got there in the end after a thrilling encounter. it's been seven long years since dot and last won the league and they're threatening to buckle under the weight of expectation the teacher table toppers feast leverkusen and former coach peter desperate to end february with the wind. after regina first half hour darkness down at zagat to spark the game into life with a simple finish from a free kick leverkusen peg them back five minutes later through kevin fall and. but
