three long car rides not people are doing tear and they are grieving over the pond as it goes and they do not know what is going to happen next a mosque that close churches that close to them on like a hike but the biggest finishes school which they usually conduct on sundays will also be closed on so for the north it's the most things where minority came to sponsored obviating in backlash and not believing that mormons the three hundred right now as a nation were taken shocked and yes the moments just a minute nudge from that in in colombo thank you so much thank you. ok let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world today well leaders are in beijing to discuss china's belts and road initiative a massive global infrastructure project involving more than one hundred nations president xi jinping wants to sue says about the project's construction costs but critics say it's increasing chinese influence around the world and it saddles poorer nations with on manageable debts. hundreds of migrants hoping to reach the

united states have boarded a freight train and self in mexico this follows a mass escape of migrants from a holding center in the southern border city of tapachula the mexican government estimates around one thousand three hundred people escaped from the center but the majority returned. a fifteen thousand six hundred year old human footprint discovered in southern chile is believed to be the oldest ever found in the americas it was first discovered in two thousand and ten and scientists have now ruled out the possibility that the print may have belonged to some of the species. of protest is in sudan have vowed to ramp up the demonstrations if the country's military council insists on maintaining sovereign power until the next elections are held thousands of protesters again turned out in the capital cost to a day off the large crowds demanded the country's military rulers step down they've

been massing outside on the headquarters for three weeks keeping up pressure even off to the ousting of president omar al bashir on the eleventh of april. correspondent jeff karim was in the capital costume where he spoke with some of the demonstrators. everyone i talk to in sudan is thinking about one question should power be in the hands of a civilian consul or a military council i will ask what do you want a civilian government of course why because nothing's changed since we ousted al bashir and got a military government one soldier was replaced by another one where's the difference it's the same situation we've had before we got rid of a dictator and got another dictator so the money i want to civilian government together with a military one because the military provides protection if there's no military with a civilian government it's not complete to me that's going to. have people cherish their freedom a military government leans towards full so that's why i'm hoping for

a civilian government. when they come with any. equipment that we should have civilian rule we should have freedom the change should favor civilian society but then he under military rule there's no freedom no god knows it should be civilian. so. we've had military rule for thirty years and every time they say two years two years and it goes on and on like that look at egypt general el-sisi said two years of military rule and he's still in power. if we're ruled by the military it'll be the same system. the united nations is warning of massive flooding in mozambique sets off for the second giant storm in just six weeks plowed into the southern african country like some chemist made landfall late thursday and authorities say it's off the mosque could bring twice as much rain in

a cycle and if i did just last month disaster agencies say seven hundred thousand people could be at risk at least three people died since the storm struck. we're joined now by matt carter from the international federation of the red cross he's in mozambique tell us how is things looking now since the cyclon made landfall and how are the people coping. thanks for having me yes it is early days oh are. they still carrying out work in the bow move the. first indications are there are there are some districts. are more or most province how severe damage are also. just through losing ninety percent of its homes. voting districts are without power and as you say the bulk of this for a long so. heavy rain. we you know we were clearly worried about landslides and

about flash flooding in the short. mozambique is still recovering from slightly and it i is the nation in any way prepared for what's happening and the heavy rains that have predicted. yeah i mean as you say it's been quite unprecedented the last six weeks have to such large scale storms in such a sort of time is is unheard of in this area of the world's. news national a community have an ongoing and large response in the sound of you know and she said the central mozambique about the hundred kilometers south of. the northernmost moments. or so perhaps wrote a better position this time to. respond more quickly. across teams on the ground in the days leading up to the psych loan the seventy's and early warning messaging so it seems and now is the same thing is there on the

grounds that the assessments and. it's early days picture. of the damage and what needs to be done what's on them most urgent priorities now what are what are they focusing on. i think in the short term but certainly well. some districts that have lost a large proportion of their housing. it's providing tents it's food and water in the short term but we also worry that standing water will inevitably give rise to multiple disease we saw an outbreak of cholera in the weeks after psycho and we we found this might happen again in the north the longer term. harvest time here a lot of agricultural land by one of the damaged and those subsistence farmers the worry is what they're going to be eating in the next three to six months. for those working on the farm of work where they're low by dogs so you know they were across

of a long long process a long time for us. going anywhere and we'll assess the situation which was mostly care all right matt carter from the international federation of the red cross thank you so much and good luck chief. in recent weeks the venezuelan embassy in washington d.c. has become an outpost of the country's political crisis activists supporting venezuela's president nicolas maduro has been staging a sit in there trying to stop diplomats who support the opposition leader. from taking over the building the u.s. of the organization of american states recognized as venezuela's president of the activists say the u.s. is helping the u.s. government is helping engineer a coup and venice weta. helena humphrey sent us this report from the embassy. venezuela's power struggle is playing out here the country's u.s.

activists say they're concerned about the prospect of u.s. military intervention americans have a special duty to the people around the world to stand up and oppose that kind of aggression which is carried out in our name but without our approval. they accuse the us of being part of why. they see as an overthrow of power. i know so much about the various coups in which the united states has either been complicit or the instigator and i think this is a rare opportunity we have to interfere at a time. but time is running out for the activists if the u.s. government says the protest is breaking the law and will have to leave. where either people are off to work or embassies like the one behind me are now becoming flashpoints in an international tug of war between two men who both claim to be president of one country. nearly sixty nations have joined the trumpet ministration
