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 the civilian government it's not complete there'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 there is little more than the. 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 and 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 this is where ruled by the military it'll be the same system. the united nations is warning of massive flooding in mozambique that's off the second giants storm in just six weeks plowed into the southern african country and kenneth made landfall late thursday and authorities say it's off some monster could break twice as much right as i did last month it's also agencies say seven hundred thousand people could be at risk at least three people have died since the storm struck joins now by matt carter from the international federation of the red cross he's in them to let mozambique tell us how are things looking now since the cyclon made landfall and how are the people coping. thanks for having me yes it is early days oh. it's still carrying out work in the

bow move the. first indications are there are there are some districts. are more or most province severe damage of all smaller. history losing ninety percent of its homes. voting districts are without power and as you say the whole process 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 site flown into is the nation in any way prepared for what's happening and the heavy rains that are 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. new international community have an ongoing and large response in the sound of borough

and she's in the central mozambique about one hundred kilometers south of. the northernmost. so perhaps toward a better position this time to. respond more quickly. cross teams on the ground in the days leading up to the cycle over the seventy's and early warning messaging so to me it seems that now is the same to you is there on the grounds that your assessments have to make about zero so it's early days. of the scope of the damage and what needs to be done what's in 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 since food and water in the short term but we also worry that standing water will inevitably give rise

opposition leader why do from taking. the u.s. and the organization of american states recognized as venezuela's president but the activists say the u.s. government is helping engineer a crude but it's way she w. sullivan humphrey sent us this report from the embassy. venezuela's power struggle is playing out here the country's u.s. embassy in washington d.c. for two weeks now american supporters of venezuela is in battle nicolas maduro occupied the building day and night they want to stop representatives of opposition leader and self declared interim president one by door from setting up shop in the leftist group calls itself the embassy protection collective is only one of its leaders shows us inside margaret the flowers doesn't play in venezuela as leaders for the country's economic and humanitarian crisis so much as her own if you look around if the united states actually cared about the economic situation in

venezuela we would stop the economic coercive measures that we're using you know the preventing them from having access to their gold in the bank of london or being able to use petro dollars you know we would stop you know we would let them have the assets that they have here in the united states of the united states is holding onto we would stop pressuring other countries who try to you know provide goods to them. other 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 u.s. of being part of what they say. 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 of time. but time is running out for the
