the pressure on president nicolas maduro it follows weekend via says troops loyal to move a walk humanitarian aid from entering the country plus nigeria's main opposition party accusing the government of trying to manipulate the outcome of the presidential election partial results put the president mohamed to bihari in the lead. and a night of surprises at the academy awards in los angeles. and the oscar. drama about race relations. for best picture and britain's olivia colman wins best actress in the faves.

i bring golf it's good to have you with us we begin with an about face in the u.k. that could completely change the calculus of brics it for the first time since negotiations began on britain's exit from the european union britain's opposition labor party is calling for a second referendum on breaks that if parliament rejects an alternative plan for leaving the e.u. of that's according to labor's brags spokesman he says on wednesday labor leader jeremy corben who you see right here will put forward an amendment calling on the government to adopt its brakes and plan which includes a permanent customs union i was head of the meeting with party lawmakers tonight corben said labor would do everything in its power to prevent a new deal brecht's. are this is a significant change of plans for briggs in the talk about that i'm joined here at the big table by john worth he is

a political blogger who follows briggs very closely it's good to see you again john so first of all what exactly is jeremy corbett and what is he doing tonight by saying he is suddenly for a second referendum he's nolt complete for a second referendum in all circumstances the words the labor party was using this evening were to prevent a damaging tory bracks it being forced on the country and sentient he's saying if to reason mase breaks down is the only one available then there would be a referendum if there's some other great plan he's putting forward would be available then there wouldn't necessarily be a referendum so this is not backing a referendum in all circumstances it's nevertheless potentially significant because this is already a very big week in breaks in news about the debate about where the price of the me delayed which is coming up later this week but so we this is cool shows progress from call me progress you know at the eleventh hour why now because the. i mean

he's under pressure in his own party because eight labor members of parliament to quit his party to join the so-called independents group this week and one of the reasons they did so was because jeremy coleman has been so slow to manage to do it so reluctant and he's a position to this breaks a deal and so i think he has his hand is being forced by these of these these people jumping out of his party ok so what does this do to the calendar we've got about a month until briggs it is scheduled to begin now we've got this call for a possible second referendum the reason may ultimately has still saying that she still thinks her breaks a deal is going to be possible she wants more time in order to manage to negotiate that the thing is this is essentially parliament not only the labor party but also members of parliament from the park benches of the conservatives trying to take the brakes a timetable out of to resume his hands and say look this is too nervous now we're getting too close to the deadline we're taking back control of this process and we want to either force it to a delay or you to buy more time to get

a better deal or alternatively if there's no better deal available then to a referendum so it's really really reaching the crunch phase now where this is starting to get very very edgy and. when are we going to john whether or not we're going into overtime we're going to get an extension we're going to have more clarity wednesday this week because there's a parliament you debate wednesday of this week with the chances are quite highly the chances are high and they'll be demand for brakes it did lay in palm and actually backing a as a second referendum but if there is a request for breaks a delay to reason may sent to brussels and says brussels we need more time brussels may say well we'll give you more time u.k. if you give us a sort of plan of what you're going to do to find a way out of this this culdesac you find yourselves in and a referendum would be a suitable a way out of that resolution there could be this week i don't think we'll get the final solution this week but but the way or the way the parties win the majority look we should have some more clarity within the next forty eight hours all right john where designers thank you thank you. now to venezuela the country's opposition leader is meeting leaders of north and south american countries in the colombian

capital bogota and u.s. vice president mike pence is present as well in washington has become quite those key backer since he declared himself interim president in his standoff with president nicolas maduro this is a key moment for the opposition days after four people were killed and hundreds wounded along in minutes why those border when mature roads security forces blocked why do supporters attempts to bring international aid into the country. said that he was there to offer a one hundred percent support to the venezuelan opposition we stand with you in america along with all the nations gathered today and we will keep standing with you until democracy and your liver todd are restored. i'm joined now by edgardo nanda he is a part of the citizen platform in defense of the constitution

a group that predicted the demise of parliamentary democracy under president my dear oh mr londa is a retired sociology professor in venezuela who's also been critical of u.s. intervention fearing it support of one why they could lead to civil war mr landor we appreciate you taking the time to be on the show this evening the vice president of the u.s. spoke today to the lima group in colombia he wore in venezuela soldiers to reject nicolas maduro or face consequences in your opinion what does this do to the pressure inside your country and along the border with colombia. this certainly increases. the pressure in syria the increase. on. the citizens but that's. because they. are. continuation of.

the substance of. bread for. the possibility of civil war. here with the. we know what the neo cons of the mall the console the white house today. though because we know what's happened you know it's the media we don't want syria who certainly won't. for this for. this. because we don't. believe in this so. there is a serious threat. police. to question for you mr long it's there is there a radio or television there in the office with you that is on the we're hearing. the volume from another voice is there

a television that's on that you could possibly maybe turn the volume down force. those nothing around here. ok but we're hearing something let me let me ask you then let's see if we can continue you met with one why do you really or this month what is in the context of these u.s. attempts to intervene. why do all this member of one local. political parties could fit into this he has managed to create so that he will give it to all of it was his and he has been a vocal cord in that it's very closely with its current and even if so the corporation that is interim president was something that was discussed with the us government more than it was just goes with the rest of it is complete so we're

paying for it so that's the interim president of the earth its allies in the us will said they were going to wear the compass of products with. the same clause just a few minutes after it was that the truck in the house was faculty so this was a very only date it was pretty it was all a lot of legal and so we have reasons to how it would be if this was what this means but with. the judge has received his that old age but a complete water war they have a right to say he. didn't have the right. bridges because there was a bit. more he says this was obviously working it out but as for the original it was probably a little political will go yes he did. but it's also bullshit is the situation where since there's still some very strong military doctrine

there are many other groups in the country. and into it some of it. it's like he thought. they were going to out of time. joining us tonight from caracas we appreciate your time tonight mr london thank you . it's. and we do apologize for the holding of signal there in that conversation or president maduro is closure of the border is also causing hardship on the colombian side traders in the market towns used used to rely on been it's coming across the border to buy their goods but not anymore. 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 mia when 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 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. they're not getting in america see i guess i'm 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 son we have to work like this on the son 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 oh you know why because our customers they are not from colombia they don't come from

kuta or pump record our host or mers are the venezuelan people there barbara not going to now go back to another market trader 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 custom. it affects us a lot of it on which. nobody knows when the border will reopen meaning more hardship for traders and their customers on the other side. so here is some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a court in the german city of one step has suspended the trial of a former nazi death camp guard for a second time after a report said he was too ill the ninety five year old's trial had been on hold since mid december next month judges will rule on whether to drop the prosecution

senegal's president has been reelected according to the country's prime minister the west african states ruling parties as president macky sall won fifty seven percent of the vote official results are not expected for a few days and souls two main challengers have not conceded they say a runoff is on a void of. european union and arab league leaders have concluded a two day summit in the red sea resort of sharm el sheikh the meeting hosted by egyptian president sisi aim to foster deeper cooperation between the two blocs now delegates say that they discussed migration terrorism human rights and the iran nuclear deal strategies to bring the wars in syria and yemen to it and are also on the agenda. leaders from the european union and the arab league were never expected to korean much concrete political action at their first joint summit but that sides

with keen to demonstrate that they can at least talk about the crises that affect but its sides. well to. remain the. threat to. peace and security and i'm happy to face that as we have written declaration. we renewed our commitment to the. aspect of international human rights law. the fact that the host egypt's president after fattah el-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 and 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 up 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. nigeria's main opposition party has accused the government of trying to manipulate the results of the country's presidential election partial

results announced by the national election commission put president mohamed to bihari in the lead voting was delayed by a week allegedly due to logistical glitches the opposition p.d.p. party has called the election tallies announced so far quote been correct and on except of. which are is in nigeria's capital abuses she joins me now good evening to you fundies so what is the latest on these partial election results. speaking right now brant in fact results of several states were brought into this building behind me the building of the electoral commission for all of these results are being collated so far more than a handful states to then call for so fast six states all they want by a president who hires a p.c. party of it was called for the challenge of p.d.p. party now does it tell you anything about the bottom line so far not really if you look at the results of the states in fact two states they won by

a very narrow margin a bit more than one percent by which president biharis a.p.c. party one those states so it is going to be a very long night in fact results not maybe in before to morrow morning and in fact as these results which pulling in the tension also is a bit growing here in abu job because the margins going to be probably very narrow very much unlikely like for us ago when a president who hardly spotty won by two and a half million votes and forty nigeria's opposition you know they have the called into question whether or not this election was free or fear do they have a point. but first what's not very new that these parties accuse each other of wrongdoing or of using with i note the electoral commission and therefore i would rather focus on what international observers or local observers have said so far about the selection of the the european observer

the chief observer of the european union for example concluded that even though there was some improvement compared to twenty fifteen there's a lack of transparency there's a lack of information you must remember of course on saturday for example for hours just in alone in lagos state and certain polling stations it wasn't clear if those polling stations are actually going to open so there was a lot of uncertainty and that uncertainty of course was growing also as a result of the fact that election was delayed so as i say both parties accuse each other and that's going to be very interesting once the results come in how that result is going to be accepted by either or neither one of these parties who's going to lose in the end the election. how big of a challenge is the challenger. card to the incumbent president. now you really ask yourself that given the fact that both of them are in the same age group all of that and seventy years old both are offering pretty much the same

that is fighting corruption revamping the economy creating more jobs now i did speak to a couple of young people yesterday after church which is a very important thing here on a sunday where people really talk about not just about faith but also politics after wars and they said they were really hoping that i took was going to win not because it's going to be some sort of a magical change in this country but because they really want that the administrations that are in the office do not take it as a government t. that they are in that office for ever so they are hoping actually for a change and given the fact that a georgia tea all of that country is under thirty five they actually have a say in that vote people under thirty five. all right so very unfunny charge with the latest on those partial election results tonight from bhushan in nigeria funny thank you. our last minds oscars a ceremony in los angeles held plenty of surprises best picture was one of them going to the green book

a feel good film about race relations britain's olivia colman took best actress for her role in the favorite and this year's ceremony seemed finally to have gotten the memo about diversity. british rock legends queen the ceremony inside hollywood's dolby theatre off to a rousing start fronted by american idol star adam lambert. but then 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. lives 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 they vehicle made. 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 the loneliest. honest. but the night's biggest surprise was arguably the pick for best picture and oscar to. mean i. can't buy 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. 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 his tell me autobiographical

film roma a movie that highlights the plight of poorly paid to mystic workers. i want to thank that kind of a me for recognizing a film center around and in the u.s. women. one of the seventy million the mystic workers in the world we don't works we don't work for rights. also when the oscars for foreign language film and cinematography. are going to talk a good bit more about this controversy surrounding the choice of green book is best film it's based on the real life story of a black pianist who befriends his racist white driver during segregation in the american south you know used federica baggio is here with me to do that it's good to see you fredricka so why has it drawn so much criticism well it's a film about racism and about the struggles that many book americans faced during the era of segregation but it's told from the point of view of a white man a driver who is hired to accompany

a famous pianist dr dunn sheerly on tours and through this encounter he then eventually overcome racism and this choice you know having a story of racial segregation in the deep south told thirty eyes of a white character not really hasn't gone down well with critics particularly within the african-american community many of their feel that the result is a feel good feeling for a white audience perhaps but they feel like it doesn't resonate with them and it doesn't speak their truth i heard it described as driving miss daisy in reverse exactly that's one way to put it don surely family has also criticised absolutely and i mean he's nice she had really strong words for the film she called it a white man's a white man's version of a black man's story i think that really tells it all and we've seen many black filmmakers also echoing this criticism one of them was

a savior of bergen he tweeted other best picture nominees for him this year like roma black panther and black klansman they will be talked about still. three years to come but no one is going to remember green book by next year because they didn't give a damn about the community it was supposed to be made for and spike lee that term black director he was also quite straightforward as he said that giving the oscar for best picture to green book was about cole you know after winning an honorary oscar in twenty sixteen spike lee won his first competitive award for the adapted screenplay for his film black klansmen he think the originator of the oscars so what campaign credited with pressuring the academy on the issue of barbarous unsafe the list. has us so why and the former president of the county or most but the signs 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 how much have things changed since the oscars so why campaign began four years ago i mean there are signs that some things have changed somewhat since this hash tag the wife became some viral massively viral four years ago and we're seeing that more women and more individual black nominees one of this year's ceremony more than ever before the academy behind the oscars also worked towards trying to diversifying its membership which traditionally has always been largely white and male and however there is of course a lot of progress still to be made and that's also what the founder of the oscar so whites can paint said she was there yesterday at the ceremony she was invited for the first time and that's why she said take a listen. we are no longer having these conversations about firsts in twenty nineteen and i'm still we see everyone having the opportunity rather it's

race and ethnicity sexual orientation and disability indigenous people and in this country until we all have an opportunity to see ourselves represented on screen not just during awards season but all year long i can see to talk about a special white. right frederick thanks very much for our time i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day you have to see the full. going to. move. to.
