regime won't tolerate anyone who wants to help venice why law. i mean is that the german envoy was among a group of diplomats who met quite at the airport on his return to caracas on monday helping him evade arrest. so far daniel crean a is the only one of them to be expelled the government accusing him of meddling in internal affairs germany says this kind of pressure won't work. dodged a bullet so you'll have to determine government has decided to recognize one guy do as interim president who should bring about free fair and democratic elections in venezuela this. is completely income prehensile reaction will in no way change our position kind are still live. and quite is most important back stepped up its campaign to topple my dear a. united states will revoke seventy seven visas including many officials

food from caracas from everybody but us well and they're willing to walk seven thousand kilometers to get to achieving some cases who these people are running from a catastrophe right in that catastrophe has been happening for too long already and we think that. the only cure for it is real democracy and that's why we are with the many other countries supporting the idea of why the us interim president could bring an election very soon all right you are as you said one of the country secretaries one of the country supporting though the self-proclaimed president the opposition leader i want to ask you about the refugees who have come to your country in a moment but first one whether visited with your president lenny what do you know he was there last week before returning to venezuela what is ecuador promising though how is aquittal promising to help them support him were supporting him or supporting the a.v.o. have been as well or can have. election hopefully very soon we think that's the

only way to solve them and as well an issue as i told you is not that it is an issue it has nothing to do with us we'll leave it there were they were leaving the venezuelan problem in ecuador we have the letter at the end of january we had officially four hundred thousand when this went on for you two hundred fifty thousand already settling in a quote and the rest on more are on their way either to put or chilly so it is an issue of involves the whole region could only house one and a half million. when it's women's right right so it's something that you say is destabilizing the region but still the question then is well the economy has been suffering for years now president of the widow has been in power since two thousand and thirteen so why is your government seeking democratic change now in venezuela i think there has been a. i mean stream situation with the economy the last years and we also have the information that the elections in where president who was elected the last time a were not generally supervised by the old tory things that have to

control that the elections go on in the name of the environment so all the older questions about that election haven't been answers right so you're saying the political and economic situation simply is asked later to a point where now is the time we're going to see a change even before that with the election we had we had our east coast with that election because as a country we thought that the election was and didn't take place in the crowding environment right there is many institutions internationally that are old school making the confirmation that the election wasn't properly made in right now of course we leave us i told you before we leave in a quote every day the us one problem so yeah what about the position of president mother who he says this is all part of a u.s. backed coup to oust him can you understand that position to mean disclose peroration theories we don't we don't have nothing to comment on that i mean we

just see the reality every day and where warrior of all the problem of finding a solution that's on and you can invent conspiracy theory theory solvay and we've heard enough of that already who wants solutions so what is the solution going for admissions dissolutions to remove regulation that's the only solution neither side looks like it's about to back down either present motto nor why though are you afraid of an escalation we have to insist on that position we will not agree on the military intervention we don't think that's the way and we think it could even worse in this situation. i mean we have to insist with the position that the monk receives the way what about kwan why though now asking with the german ambassador being expelled that the e.u. put further sanctions on venezuela one that just worsen the aca. amik situation for the venezuelan people is that the right way i don't think. you have to talk with people from as well that are walking through three thousand four thousand kilometers are kids we elderly people have to talk to them about what's the

solution they want and what they want is the change in if where you go who is their leader things that's the way we will we have to we have to talk to him and see how we can help with how is your country dealing with a large number of refugees who have arrived from this was a tough situation. even for our economy right now it's not the best moment so to take care of these are people that are having nutrition problems that are having health issues we're taking care of them in our health system and our patients system we already have around forty to fifty thousand venezuelans students and yeah of course it's it's a big cost for for a quarter both they were taking were taking it was a lot of responsibility i'm trying to slowly to the right and looking as you said for a democratic solution autozone house not vice president of ecuador thank you so much for joining us on the program thank you thank you for the interview. or let's move

the material posted on elysium showed every kind of abuse imaginable of children and teenagers and i was playing on the victims included newborns and babies the platform was discovered in twenty seventeen and immediately shut down the case made international headlines due to the large number of subscribers investigators found one hundred twelve thousand user accounts paedophiles around the world were offered photos and videos of the worst kind of child abuse on a platform operated from germany prosecutors said the network allowed the exchange of illegal material to be as easy as on line shopping investigators will continue to sit through the evidence and work with international authorities to bring additional prosecutions. are political correspondent hans front is following this case for us is going to victim and received sentences of between three and ten years why is there such a big difference in the length of these sentences. well first of all there's the

sense that these are significant because it's the people who are around this network who had the service who have ministered the whole thing who have been convicted and the other was not simple uses. and the extent to which they were involved the extent to which they. actually were involved in the administration of those network is some reflection of the severity of the sentences. high higher sentences if you're a sentence was given to a man who was also being convicted of himself abusing two children by an abuse that was arranged through this network so that's the that's the gamut of. convictions that was that was passed today the investigation into this platform comes from a cooperation between germany and australia what can you tell us about that. well this network was of initially set up apparently once another network of similar nature had been shot down by the australian police and the australians managed to

track down this network and in fact to some extent kept it going for a while and sort of try to some of its uses a so-called honey trap to attract people and to try and track the actual people that were involved and there were in fact in australia able to find out then that the service of this network were positioned in germany were in germany and then passed on the information to the german authorities so it was very important in this case that there was an international cooperation amongst the investigating with oratory these rights and important vesta geisha in the prison sentences are significant but this network had more than one hundred thousand users isn't it likely that the platform has already been replaced with something else that's very likely yes indeed the demand for this kind of material appears to be there and it's likely that there will be further such platforms being set up and one has to say that this kind of abuse takes place almost daily in fact in germany there's

a very big case being investigated at the moment of children that have been abused on the camping side in western germany so yes this kind of thing has to one has to say it continues and the prosecutions obviously have to continue as well our political correspondents branch thank you. facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg says his company plans to shift its focus to private messaging services and a post on his own profile page zuckerberg said the company would encrypt conversations on more of its messaging services and make them compatible he said people increasingly want to connect privately in the digital equivalent of a living room. and our digital reporter jared reed has been looking into this for us what is mark zuckerberg up to here what is this all about good questions that we all know facebook. networks connects people around the world but now mocks like a bird has his sights set on what we say in private on the messaging platforms that

facebook are in so the platforms like what's up instagram and facebook messenger like you said it wants to make those platforms compatible with each other so if i chat to you on facebook messenger and you reply on whatsapp you know that they can sort of talk to each other and it wants to add a layer of security by making the messages since on these platforms encrypted so that means only able to be read by the person they're intended for and that means facebook itself can't get its hands on those messages. and it wants to copy something that's not doing whereby messages delayed after a certain period of time and basically the messaging market is growing a lot at the moment it's growing faster than facebook's traditional business of being a social network so it's trying to tap into that as well and be more privacy for privacy friendly but that's not something facebook is really known for is it facebook's at a pretty shocking two years i mean we've had the cambridge analytical scandal where

the daughter of some eighty seven million users ended up in the hands of a political consultancy that works for donald trump and then we've had you know interference in that election from from just like russia and just more generally misinformation in general extremism hate speech abuse they've all found a place on facebook and had to go to the u.s. congress and to the european parliament and explain himself and i guess the real challenge for him and everyone that works at facebook is trying to convince everyone that they are actually serious about privacy and to calm these calls up every so often that facebook should receive some sort of read. elation what i need to point out to you is that even if facebook does encrypt the messages we send in private on it's platforms it's still got everything else so whatever we do on facebook and on the internet as well it can still. not doctor and work out how to best sell ads to us so this is just one one part of it we're just talking about

messaging specifically that's right so what are critics saying about this latest move well people are pointing out that just two years ago facebook said that its goal was to be more open and connected and suddenly now we're supposed to believe that it wants to do the exact opposite some people are saying it is trying to put the competition regulators length because by merging the combat ability of the messaging services into one. stop competition regulators trying to limit how much dot facebook shares between each of these messaging services and people are saying he's kind of jumping on the privacy bandwagon if you like by trying to keep facebook the dominant player here because we have to keep in mind in the billions of people use facebook services in some form or another i saw one funny tweet it said facebook putting a focus on privacy is like a. giant prioritising healthy eating so still

a bit of skepticism i'd say all right our digital reporter jared ranger thank you so much. now chinese tech giant way is suing the u.s. for limiting its access to the american market for telecom equipment well way is challenging a u.s. law that labels the company a security risk and bars federal agencies from buying its telecom products well ways legal challenge comes at a critical point for trade negotiations between the u.s. and china for years while way has sought to reassure the world of two things here if you know that it is not under the control of the chinese government and that it doesn't spy on consumers. a shift in tone from defense to accusation the u.s. government had said. that we. it had character our servers and just storing our you merril's and hold allegations of american government
