the mayor simply talking to a mafia boss my feels to me that they don't know what you are responsible for who you talk to the same but it may be what they have always said that in a problematic region such as sicily. fios he shouldn't be trusted and you can't go doing business with them if the public sees their own mayor talking to a mafia boss that said all the disastrous message. it will take out of their ass that. already don't think i have many fears i fear they could kill me. good balsa synesthetic there were two mafia bosses sentenced in two separate trials. one said perfectly calmly that they were with me a part of the updates. now and another referred to

a slow death. without. not a fucked up mess i'm scared of not having done enough. voting fees of not having had enough time to tell the public what's happening. and ultimately i fear that my fellow italians don't understand that their silence and indifference are the weapons the mafia uses to defeat us you know. a fresh threat was issued yesterday on frederica's birthday this time the target was a restaurant owner who's already been in the mafia's crosshairs once before because of his friendship with her. money oh my do you know what i just saw mario what happened and then with a screwdriver came in. mario tells frederica a man wearing his hood up and brandishing a screwdriver stood outside his restaurant yesterday and yelled i'll kill you all.

opposition leader one why go has called on his backers to take to the streets again today to oust material from office rebellion that was tuesday mornings confident message from venezuela's opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president he started the day calling on social media for a final push to oust nicolas maduro venezuela's incumbent president flanked by military personnel who have defected to the opposition and he wants more to follow suit and for ordinary venezuelans to hit the streets. and we invite the world to witness what is going to happen here which as always is within the parameters of the constitution democratic and nonviolent. many venezuelans disputes. with ok the people are dying of hunger children dying of hunger how many people are on the street asking for a plate of food how many people to right now who get up and don't have coffee to drink and you know save on. some forces have

joined and are actively supporting the opposition on the streets. yes but it isn't about all of us as a united people must move forward we want peace we don't want confrontation every time you go but correct this was the scene of clashes including this moment when vehicles rammed into the crowd leaving casualties behind. the top generals so for staying loyal to madeira. that's despite mike pompei a you noted states secretary of state saying that venezuela's key generals are already at the negotiating table. remained defiant ok most of you have a merge victorious in every situation and will continue to emerge victorious in any difficulty that we will face from now on in the upcoming months and years i have no doubt about it. and late into the night so too is why i do calling

on social media for an even bigger uprising. all russia is one of the venezuelan government's biggest backers our correspondent emily sherwin joins us now from moscow good morning emily the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei was claiming that venezuelan president nicolas maduro wanted to flee the country and seek exile in cuba but that russia convinced him to remain in the country have we had any response from the kremlin to those clips. well no we haven't had any direct response to those claims but we do know that russia of course is a vocal backer of nicolas maduro they do not recognize as president and they yesterday criticized the violent methods as they said of the opposition and overnight we also saw the embassy the russian embassy in venezuela releasing

a statement on facebook where they basically said things are calm in the capital there are hardly any clashes there are only clashes in one area of the city. and they also said that citing official sources that actually the military is in its usual places on its usual posts and that those officers of the military or those soldiers who had gone over to the opposition have returned so very much kind of pushing this narrative or this idea that things are calm and that the military is on the government's side. give us an overview of russia's involvement right now in venezuela. well i think the most important thing to point out here is that at the end of march we officially got confirmation from russian officials that there are actually russian troops in venezuela now that

comes after months of reports that there were troops kind of being flown in military equipment as well and at the end of march russia finally did actually confirm that they did however say that it was military experts that were being flown in rather than troops that would be active in fighting they said that these would be military experts that would carry out consultations of some sort we don't know how many of those military experts or of those troops are on the ground but it is clear that russia seems to be willing to back to the end they also cited the fact that they have this military greenman between them this whale and russia that was signed in two thousand and one so very much emphasizing that they as opposed to the u.s. as they say are legitimately in the country and legitimately involved in helping what they see is the legitimate government of nicolas maduro ok you know military

advisors are. completely new dimension to this why is the kremlin so very invested in what happens to nicolas maduro it stop. well first of all the two countries have historical ties they've had historical ties for decades including under a nicolas maduro his predecessor who go to chavez but also russia is hugely invested because they actually have billions literally invested in the country first of all venezuela is a big importer of russian grain as well as russian weapons and also russia has loaned billions to the country over the past few years and russia simply concerned that if there is regime change they might not get their billions back so that's a big concern for russia and plus venezuela is an oil producing country it has some of the largest oil reserves in the world and that's an important factor for russia

as well because venezuela is part of opec an organization which of oil exporters and russia is not part of that so by keeping with his way look close they can have a kind of almost like a seat at the table and a stake in kind of regulating oil prices on the world market and that's of course very important for russia because it is hugely depends on the price of oil its economy hugely depends on the price of oil so it literally has a lot invested in venezuela and it could lose billions if there is regime change the only sure one for us in moscow thank you very much for that emily while russia is not of course the only nation keeping a very close eye on what's happening in the us where countries in the region are lining up on one side or the other here's some of the reactions. one goh i don't

know has at least one ally in a high place the white house said it is watching and waiting on the situation in venezuela and hoping the result is democracy we stand with the people of it as well we stand with the long white house i mean door has to go but other potential allies are more ambivalent mexico is just one of the countries that has expressed concern and has held back on endorsing why go. you know intervention and the self-determination of the people and peaceful resolution of conflict seek at least one of my key allies bolivia is standing by its friend. you need we condemn the beginning of a coup d'état. we reject it. and i make you cool to the democratic countries to defend democracy and to defend the people's vote. as

allies and detractors around the region place their political bets the world waits to see which president will come out on top. now for a look at some of the other news around the world today in the u.s. a vigil is planned at the university of north carolina charlotte a day after two people were killed by gunman four were injured a shooting occurred on the last day of classes twenty two year old former student as a suspect and in custody. of the u.s. attorney general william barr will appear before the senate judiciary committee later today where whole face questions over his handling of it special counsel robert muller's russia report new revelations of a merge that was complained to bar about the attorney general's characterization of the investigations findings are reportedly said bar summary did not capture the context nature or substance of his conclusions. facebook says it will restructure its platform to be more private at the social media's annual conference as c.e.o.
