urging them to take to the streets or venezuela saying that this is your opportunity the moment might not come again i'm so i think we can see that where washington d.c. at one point was supporting the opposition leader one it's gone one step further now in throwing its weight behind the events which are currently unfolding as we speak on the streets of caracas who was ahead in the home for him and washington now in other news the u.s. president donald trump is to sue deutsche bank he wants to stop it from hunting over financial records by the banks dealings when he was a new york real estate to mogul congressional oversight committees subpoenaed the documents in much. so where the lawsuit is a trump family affair with the president's three eldest children also filing against deutsche bank germany's biggest lender was a major financer to the trump organization when other banks were put off by the president's multiple bankruptcies what the congressional committees are interested

in is whether secret russian sponsors were involved or it should bank was expecting to win greater influence in u.s. politics germany's flagship plan to help the trump organization finance multiple projects to the tune of more than two billion dollars that includes trump hotels and casino resort in atlantic city the trump international hotel and tower in chicago a golf resort in miami almost a billion dollars for a forty three story skyscraper in new york and the trump hotel in washington d.c. the congressional committee ordered deutsche bank to hand over documents saying they're a necessary part of the probe into potential foreign influence on the u.s. political process however lawyers for the trumps and the trump organization say the subpoena has no legitimate or lawful purpose. bank has said it remains committed to providing the appropriate information to all authorized investigations indicating it will comply with a subpoena leading democrats say they won't be deterred by the blocking attempt. so

as this lawsuit daughter banks their biggest nightmare well we asked our financial correspondent pandey. it's certainly a big nightmare if not the biggest nightmare coming true you can't really see what's the biggest nightmare when it comes to do it your bank but it has been a loyal lender to of president trump when he was a businessman and that's when so they are going to be question asked about how german lenders get bankrolling a businessman out of bankruptcies at a time when even the u.s. lenders wouldn't touch him and they're also going to be questioned whether there was money laundering aboard the fact that there are suggestions that the president wouldn't have been the president today had it not been for the loans extended to him by dutch a bank because he used most of that money to erect our bases the plaster his name on them and then ultimately tell the people of the usa how successful

entire crop fields have been white sands and people a shortage of food. this is making this. because this is for me. this is what i think there are some things that people feel. the sheer amount of water on the ground is making it difficult to access the affected areas rescuers from brazil are on the scene that come with boats because at the moment it's too dangerous for helicopters to fly but helicopters are what's really needed with many stranded without supplies. and want to help. police people. people are going to help them until help arrives or they can do is wait counting the cost of the latest tropical disaster to land on mozambique shores. and creations in. just sent us this update on relief efforts the weather

became much better in the last hour as it stopped raining and as you can see here they are packing these planes of the world food program and the united nations and they're bringing food items to rural areas the question is how long will the weather remain like this that is where you can see they're really hurrying up there really try to get as many helicopters out as possible before the weather possibly it's getting worse again. i do increase reporting from mozambique a german chancellor angela merkel brought together some of europe's heavy political history. hoping to diffuse the conflict between serbia and kosovo so it is in talks to join the e.u. but solving the long running cost issue is a key condition to entry. seated at the round table with mcallen medical leaders of the western balkan states twenty years after the end of the yugoslav worst the western balkans remain one of the most unstable regions in europe yet

this meeting is a commitment to long term peace. german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel not call initiated the conference at the top of the agenda the ongoing dispute between kosovo and serbia. how can we help with the development of serbia and kosovo and above all prevent problems from appearing even more insoluble than they appeared. and disputes over territories and state names continue to spark violence in the former yugoslavia republics. a nato led peacekeeping mission maintains a presence there of several thousand troops the e.u. has tried to mediate in the conflict so far with our results now germany and france are hoping to renew the push for peace. together we germany and france want to work together to make a concrete contribution to the stability of the region. a clear policy statement

from germany and france in unison and only a few weeks before the european elections. as we turn now to our top story we've been following developments in venezuela where on why those urging the military to join him in his bid to oust president maduro the opposition leader since he's got the backing of military leaders and told his supporters there is no turning back washington has expressed supports president the dora says that he's vowing to stop what he's calling a coup attempt so he has the total vote think of his military commanders. let's get more on this from our latin america correspondent how they are going to us who's monitoring events from bogota colombia welcome havea what's the latest well phil the situation has been developing in a way that is very difficult to assess really because we have both sides presenting

a very different reality about the events that are going on in venezuela on the one hand we do see videos especially from participants of these protests that suggest that there has been fired even gunfire in some cases on the other hand the government has been very quick to say that there is absolutely no situation there is not under their control therefore they are talking about isolated movements that are taking place in some parts of the country but that are under control of the government so it is very difficult at this point to know if this big rebellion if this big was ation that one way or is pursuing is actually taking place in the scale that he was hoping for and it does seem to have taken everyone by surprise so much so the venezuelans foreign minister says this was directly planned in washington. yes exactly this definitely has taken everyone birth by surprise we do know that the government rather the movement of one way or had planned to have

a big mass mobilization tomorrow on may first this is a date that let's not forget is a traditional day for different movements in different countries and for big protests and one way or had announced what he called would be the biggest protest mankind has ever seen that's what he said but now we are waking up where we woke up today at least here in colombia with the news that the movie was a sham the movement had begun already and this of course means that the people that are key to the movement are not necessarily where they were supposed to be or where they would have been tomorrow and that also includes the members that are closest to one way to. one of the significant differences between what we've seen today and the days of rage if i can put it that way in in venezuela is that we seem to we seem to have the own both sides this time we seem to be seeing a significant number of defections.

yes phil and that there's the question how many that is the big question that has been going on for a long time now let's not forget that here in colombia for example many military members have come across the border over to colombia and they are now actually trying to find their way back to them as well to support the events that are going on today but so far you can a little has also been very clear in saying that he has the complete control of the armed forces he said that today as well that he has total loyalty from the military forces however we do see as you mentioned the military or members of the military supporting one way to go in his videos and his addresses to the public via social media as well and there might be a split between some of the different units of the armed forces apparently the air force is rather loyal to one way though whereas the other units have either stayed loyal to the cause my little or have not really said yet where they actually stand we do know that military forces have abandoned the camp of people as

a liberal and are supporting why don't but we don't know how many and of course not if that is going to be enough to actually support some kind of government transition which is what one would do is trying to force the big we've been looking at that we are looking in the live pictures of the situation and some of this is the streets. has said that today marks the as is the start of the final phase of his plan to oust the president. what do we think he means by that. well the idea of one way though is to force ludo to somehow resign to force a government transition in venezuela he has repeatedly said that he wants to achieve this in a peaceful manner and that would imply that the people of venezuela will at least demand from the military forces that they somehow ask the presidents to resign and that they turn away from the question

a little and support why don't this is very difficult to achieve of course many opposition leaders have failed to do so in the past but if we take a look at what one battle has called for today he has repeatedly said or told his people to go and seek the military bases that are closest to them and ask the military forces to support him however if we take a look at this rhetoric considering that the military is always mentioned it does bear the question whether we are talking about a military coup a military intervention or not and that will course would also imply a lot of consequences in the international scene and in the international community because some countries have pledged support to one of them but definitely said that they are not willing to support any military action so at this point there seems to be a separation between the words between what is being said and what is being done. and briefly no no appearance from from president to madeira what do we make of.

well because i'm a little has tweeted at least saying that he has a loyalty of the military commands in his country however he has not appeared in public and we've seen this type of behavior before in a way saying it's not even worth going out because nothing is going on that is the message that he seems to be trying to send so far but it's also of course of the question where is he couldn't a little since many assume that he might be seeking shelter for seeing events that could develop throughout the day till august and bogus half. his reminder about top story that in venezuela clashes have erupted on the streets of caracas a savage country so declared the president one quite out just the army to help him topple nicholas but don't know ahmed government vehicle drove headlong into a crowd of demonstrators outside the checkpoints in time as protesters were answering a white house call the take to the streets against the president he said he secured the backing of several mention figures of the u.s.
