this is the doubly news lie from u.s. president donald trump. opposition leader i'm with you one hundred percent that was a message his vice president delivered. to increase the pressure on for the brightest president nicolas maduro follows the weekend killing of four people us troops loyal to the president the door of volunteers from bringing humanitarian aid into the country also on the program the arab league and the european union hold their first joint summit on the agenda for talks in egypt terrorism and migration.

and the nicer surprises at the academy awards in los angeles. in the. drama about race relations great sales for best picture britons and the prince best actress. i'm still going to welcome to the program. meeting leaders of north and south american countries in the colombian capital. u.s. vice president mike pence is that as well washington has become just the quietest came back since he himself interim president in his standoff with president but dora vice president had suffered what he called one hundred percent support from the white house just after he met. mr clyde of the colombian president. and the

president why don't we admire your courage in the courage of all the opposition leaders who have come together to make this stand to end the suffering and and the oppression in the usurpation and dictatorship in venezuela. i did because for them have a arcade as in the colombian city of kuta on the border with venezuela welcome have a how important and indeed divert divisive is that support from the united states. well phil it depends on what type of support we're talking about of course the united states needless to say is a very important very heavy country in the american continent and it has a lot of influence in latin america particularly so when we speak about sanctions for example or that have just been increased the united states today announced that four more governors of it as well it will be subject of sanctions people who are

very close to equalise my little well of course that type of support is very welcome and that's not forget that the united states still buys quite a lot of oil from venezuela so of course the u.s. has a power to. pressure a little and its government that probably no other latin american country could have but once we hear words and the rhetoric that we've just heard from mike pence and things like don't mess with the united states or we're decided to end the government of nicolas model well then of course people start to think about the possibility of a military intervention and that would be very divisive in latin america let's not forget that some countries in the continent have been victims of invasions by the u.s. army something that is seen very critical especially by some of the leftist governments most importantly mexico that now has a leftist government that has not recognized one way or interim president of venezuela so of course we can indulge into the politics of latin america it's easy to say a very sensitive situation right now so the very least the rhetoric against. the

president is is russia taking mr why don't his told the lima group indulge a person the don't know is a threat to latin america but since the military still backs the president who is likely to do what next. well the venezuelan opposition and one guy who himself is known for being divided very often and not really having a plan b. now it depends on who you believe what wedo himself has claimed repeatedly that at least seventy percent of the military forces are on his side that did not seem to be the case during the weekend where we saw that they didn't even manage to get many tarion aid into the country but there is a split in the government and in the military forces rather and we will have to see if the high ranking officials that have sworn loyalty to me could as my little will resist or if they will be subject to the problems and the struggles that the lower

ranking officials of the army have because of the shortage of medicines and food that they see in their families and in their workers and coworkers of course and if they somehow break and turn to weigh those side well he will just have to wait to see if that pressure coming from the people can actually help him have the military on his side. i'm having this. and the only border between colombia and venezuela thank you. president maduro is closure of the border is also causing caution on the colombian side traders in the market towns used to rely on venezuelans coming across the border to buy their goods but not anymore. 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 well they were all still the produce from wednesday and we don't know if we can invest again gavin maybe if they open the border. but they say it will stay close to that and 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 yes and we've already lost a lot of our projects. look how many tomatoes we have left they only last two days or a day with this. we have to work like this on the sun damages the peppers the potatoes the carrots. carlos says the plough the market is the only option for thousands of venezuelans oh 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 or pump work or on our go summers are the biggest wailing people there barbara not going to now go back to another market trader gilbert 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. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world some british prime minister theresa may has dismissed the call by european union leaders to extend article fifty you know to avoid a no deal brax it receives may set for spotting the country's departure from the e.u. would not solve the on past and would merely delay an agreement that she insists is within reach. a court in the german city of munster how suspended the trial of a former nazi death camp guard for

egyptian president abdel fattah el-sisi aim to foster deeper cooperation between the two blocs delegates said they discussed migration terrorism human rights and the iran nuclear deal strategies to bring the wars in syria and yemen to an end were also on the table. leaders from the european union and the arab league were never expected to agree on much concrete political action at their first joint summit but both sides were keen to demonstrate that they can at least talk about the crises that affect but its side. remained best to address threats to. peace and security and i'm happy to fade that we have written declaration. we call it. international human rights law. the fact that the host egypt's president after fatah sisi himself is facing growing

criticism over his country's crushing human rights record highlights the fact that europe is currently at least as focused on securing stability as criticizing potential partners in conflicts like syria yemen or libya. arab leaders have made clear their views on the most pressing issues that includes first and foremost the palestinian question how to tackle terrorism and the absolute necessity in finding political solutions to regional crises. as the arab league openly discusses the return of the syria and of bashar al assad into its circle of leaders with no questions asked german chancellor angela merkel called on arab leaders to initiate political change in syria referring to germany's commitments to a region with few democracies she had this to say. when committing to multilateralism then you have to apply it even when things get difficult and what

political systems are very different. in the end that by lateral meetings on the sidelines made more headlines than what was billed as a historic first e.u. arab league summit the group photograph from the weekend may yet remain the most tangible outcome. in egypt the capital cairo has become a magnet for migrants from other parts of north africa and the arab world but many of them live on the margins with few rights and badly enough to survive on. sent us this report. it was job for a year in ethiopia for taking part in a protest against the government in twenty fifteen he fled to the egyptian capital cairo he now lives in a poor neighborhood sharing a two room apartment with a woman her child and two other refugees. that. makes around one hundred euros a month doing odd jobs half of that goes on rent he doesn't see much of a future here but he doesn't see

a way out either. front of. us just. yet but it's not like. we're not. told fix wife beef two works as a cleaner for wealthy families she says she enjoys abuse on the job. they don't get it all working life experience sexual harassment and sexual assault from the man and children of the house and that is really traumatized me. cairo has become a magnet for many refugees from syria iraq sudan and ethiopia the government estimates one million live in the capital nationwide there are around five million they live in marginalized communities on the edge of society many ethiopians meet here in this communal space to cook together and kill time there is little work for

them no schools for their children and almost no assistance from authorities they often experience violence and discrimination especially. in the street. it's better to be a group that would rather than going to love that like just living in that house. was up bright and i would feel hopeless. but leaving is difficult egyptian president abdel fatah assisi boasts that migrant birds are prevented from sailing to europe his efforts to combat migration have been praised by several you leaders but critics say it comes at the expense of human rights. when it comes to the migration and combating terrorism i sings that you. was trying to anything else. here sick respecting human rights. some days tawfiq can't make enough money to feed his hungry son but e.u.

leaders would prefer him to remain in egypt rather than arriving on the shores. of . reporting you watching a d.-w. news a live from berlin and see what else is going on in the world outside our window there are lots. goals in the big brother this link between don't wonder do they have a clue stay tuned to find dr who came out. of just over. the head of that u.s. president donald trump is due to fly to vietnam the next few hours for his second historic meeting with north korea's leader kim with the kids already on route two hundred aboard his official train as the truck hopes the choice of venue will inspire north korea to denuclearize and to open up to economic development. i know is a capital city transformed the busy streets are a stark contrast to the country's past. and its recent history in vietnam

has had much in common with north korea it's also a communist state with a one party regime reinforced by propaganda and personality cults. it used to hold open hostility to western culture and influence it's been isolated and an international pariah. but since nine hundred eighty six vietnam has taken a different path with reforms that have opened it up to foreign business in a remarkable turnaround it's gone from a basket case to one of asia's fastest growing economies perhaps vietnam style change could be a good fit for a north korea. vietnam starting point before the reform is similar to north korea's now. there are many things that have 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 completely day. reforms have seen as per capita incomes 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 not without social transformation the sight of skateboarders in front of lenin statue in hanoi would have been unthinkable not long ago. compare that to today's pyongyang where public life is carefully controlled and north korean leaders are still revered as d.d.'s. vietnam has rebuilt ties with its former fellow the united states perhaps a role model for north korea to normalize a troubled relationship. ceremony in los angeles have plenty of

surprises a best picture was going to the green book feel good film about race relations britain's a living best actress for her role. and the fibrous this is ceremony same to finally to have got the memo about diversity. british rock legends queen up the ceremony inside hollywood's dalby 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. thanks i 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 that we're longing for for stories like this are their vehicle maybe 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 loner i got to ask. but the night's biggest surprise was arguably the pick for best picture and ask her to. preen but i thank. hand by many critics as racially tone deaf green book 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 cuarón for histamine autobiographical film roma a movie that highlights the plight of poorly paid to mystic workers i can't i want to thank the academy for recognizing a film center around an indigenous woman. one of the seventy million the mystic workers in the world we don't works with a worker writes. also when the oscars for foreign language film and cinematography . is to warn about this control this is wrong of the choice of green book as best phil it's based on the real life story of a black period those two professions he's a racist whites driver during segregation in the american south pacific about your house well i'm so why the rock well feel i mean it's quite ironic because this is a film about racism and about the struggle faced by african-americans during the

era of segregation but it has almost completely failed to resonate with the african american community the story is told from the point of view of tony lived his white race is a driver and he overcomes so to say his racism by working for this prominent black pianist done surely and in not shown this is the problem that critics seen with this film is that it's a movie that it's about racism in the deep south and it's told through the lens of a white man and they say this you know this approach just perpetuates this serious type of the white savior they say it's racially tone deaf and nice of the real musician the real don sheerly she herself has called the movie a white man's version of a black man's story so very strong words on top of that the family of the musician also said that the film wasn't really accurate so there were quite some problems

and we've seen also that many black filmmakers and they've also criticised the film for example the savior of bergen he said this on twitter he said other best pictures nominees for this year are like roma black panther and black clans. man will be talked about still for years to come but no one is going to remember green book by next year because he didn't give a damn about the community it was supposed to be made for so again very very strong message there and the veteran black director spike lee also said that giving the oscar to green book was a bad call yet let's talk about spike lee because you have actually did have some positive things to say last night after winning an honorary oscar in twenty sixteen he won his first competitive award for how to screenplay for black klansman so last night he fact the originator of the oscars so white company just frederick you were

saying i credited with pressuring the academy all means you have diversity. a brain has tag us so why and the former president of the county or motivate the sciences 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 spike lee is i was going to say happy five three is talking about the direction of travel of the america of the academy how much how far have things changed well there are signs that things have somewhat changed since the hash tag. has become so he became so viral four years ago more women and more individual black nominees where present at this year's oscars more than ever before and the academy behind the oscars has has also tried to diversify its membership which was traditionally

largely black largely white sorry and male and they added several thousand new members and open to more international members but the woman behind the hashtag oscar so white she said behind this campaign she said that she things there's still a lot of progress to be made and actually she was invited to attend yesterday's ceremony for the first time ever and this is what she had to say. to we are no longer having these conversations about firsts in two thousand and nineteen until we see everyone having the opportunity rather it's race ethnicity sexual orientation disability indigenous people and in this country until we have an opportunity to see ourselves represented on screen not just during awards season but all year long i can see to talk about oscars so white. so the fight for equal representation far from over of course well for your budget thank you so much thank you. to sports and we'll start with bundesliga football before
