10:03 am
people living here. the island has been almost completely destroyed nearly all the houses have been torn down including that of. days she has been trying to bring order to the chaos. warming game in our beds our clothes we have lost everything we are doing our best to put things in order again at least the sun is shining at least dry the few clothes that we have managed to salvage. it has been raining nonstop for nearly the entire week since the cyclon hit shows us her house what is left of it this is where she and her children lived. at then you are glad to but they don't know when it was so incredibly strong that it ripped away nearly everything we lost everything now we don't have anything.

10:05 am
like this one but many of told me they don't know how life will continue because they don't have the money to build new houses. and her children can't spend the nights in their own house anymore because the danger of it collapsing on them is too great. so they have to take their only remaining bat and all eight of them sleeping under an improvised roof their food is slowly running out they still have some fruit and vegetables but is only enough for one meal a day but she tries to stay optimistic nonetheless she wants her children to know that one way or another she will make things work. well the report put together by the w.c. e.g. and krishna joins us now from pemba that's on the mainland near. we understand some quarter of a million people have been affected by this second cycle and two months what have

10:07 am
any more that change fortunately now there has to be a quick response but it is also clear that alone can't do that all and its own it's a relatively poor country and you saw its people back to zero they have to start from zero so that means they need a lot of support not only from their government but also from abroad ok there are fears out there at this hour about more rains and possible flood waters are on the way what are you hearing about that what are people saying are they worried about more rains coming to where they are. sure that's definitely been the major concern after the site and it's been raining for days nonstop but yesterday the forecast predicted heavy rains it did not rain at all today also heavy rains predicted but you can see it behind me it is not raining again so this is very good news people are very happy about it and that they are they are hoping that it will remain like this so a place like them back can be the beautiful. nation that has been before that people are coming back life will get back to normal but. it's also too early to say
10:08 am

illegally employed filipino nannies by disguising them as airline trainees. it's to venezuela now where opposition leader won has called for a series of strikes to oust president nicolas maduro power clashes yesterday caracas between white oh supporters and the military left one woman dead and dozens of people injured why don't has been trying to persuade the military to change its allegiances but president maduro says white house efforts at a coup have failed. a violent stole made in caracas on one side opposition protesters on the other the national god still loves the low to nicholas madrone and his revolution the injured he carried away and then this violent guy in the cab the mouse begins all over again. i want to be here fighting for my country it's better than staying at home in front of the computer. the
10:12 am
opposition called this it decisive die for venezuela but then said that often since antigovernment under arrest began in january. when one is still far from the presidential palace so from the streets he urged supporters to keep up the pressure. with what we have sector funds has not. been in vain they thought all the protests with the over the yesterday they were wrong let's keep protesting until we have freed than a sale of god. but despite months of pressure nicolas maduro can still support his two pro-government militias crowded in along side in a style just for the light chavez at a mayday rally. the other venezuela seemingly as defiant as ever. this is a show of strength against us imperialism and its aggressive plenty's. message
10:13 am
now that only he can defend the country against washington in the venezuelan lated nice he's going anyway. to yesterday's coup to skirmish that played out yesterday was personally directed from the white house by john bolton. a day after venezuela looks further into chaos it appears that not the government nor opposition is any closer to victory instead the country's vicious town might is producing yet more suffering and yet more victims. let's get more on this now with as a key help us to lead a political scientist at berlin's alice allman university an expert on but us well thanks for coming in this morning and a guy who's calling for more strikes until madore is forced out will the public back him on this. i really doubt that because the recent why his attempt failed yesterday was basically because he did not receive the popular support of
10:14 am
he was expecting so his strategy is to keep things up to keep escalating bad so far it has not worked so i doubt that it's going to work now ok so you don't think this approach by gordo is going to be successful but what about the dura oh you know how has he been able to keep the military on side a large portion of the public considering the shortages of food medicine and outflow of refugees out of the country and the mounting domestic political pressure in the economy has basically collapsed over the last years however my are still holds the support of. kind of big part of the even as for lump of elation specially among poor people because they still remember the good years of the president chavez when the economy grew when the inequality and poverty decrease the government also these three views
10:15 am
social assistance which is very important especially among among poor people to make ends meet and the knitters supports him because of different reasons one of them is that they play a very important role in the us government and they have a lot of privileges that they do not want to lose how long a count on the positive sentiments left over from the chavez regime how long can that last that's a very good question but. it's what he can answer that it has worked so far but naturally his support is decreasing or has decreased over the years and next to that i think that the opposition with this strategy of escalating and trying to throw him out by allegedly this is not working so we have both. very polarized radicalise sites year playing a part and none of them is really getting to control they can't really but mother
10:16 am
russian power shows so far that goes another strategy of go i dozed to break off a key element of the military leadership he hasn't been successful so far could he be successful in this area. i cannot foresee the future but so far that strategy has not worked even though yesterday's. something around one hundred military men participated but so for the higher officials just a few of them half. have left the government most of them still remained there what about the impact of the involvement of other countries especially from from russia the united states how is that likely to affect the situation is it is very important both countries are interested in venezuela because of the obvious fact that been israel has some of the largest oil reserves in the world and next to that the country that the big power that is pushing things for here which is the u.s. has many interests there one on one of the reasons why the u.s.
10:17 am
is so bored and why those so much the shift in its foreign policy towards latin america in the context of the trade war with china the u.s. since drum came to power has hardened its political line towards venezuela the u.s. does not want any. opposition or real a position within the american continent continence this is one of the reasons why trump is recordings why though so much the other things have to do with the internal political situation off of trump one of them is that he's been accused of collaborating with russia so in the light of this like you say sions in two thousand and six sixteen i'm sorry it is very good for him to show that he's come from thing with russia and he's used in russia. as he's using dennis well as somehow a proxy war to come from with russia putting he's using this politically as well because it paid off for him to come from with a us so we have a lot of interests there playing a part as a thank you very much for
10:18 am
a common story. this is news live from berlin still to come on the show they're moving to south korea to learn a new language and a range of dance moves we meet the young k. pop fans giving it all up for a shot at star. but first italy's populist government has opened its new minimum income welfare program fulfilling a campaign promise to try to reduce poverty. the new system for the poorest households provides more money than current unemployment benefits but critics say italy can hardly afford it the country's debt load is the second highest in europe after greece. rafaela ferraro got the good news a couple of days ago their application for a basic income has been approved she's just one of some seven hundred thousand to tally and citizens who will soon receive the new social benefit for years rafael has been getting by doing odd jobs she's a single mom with
10:19 am
a seventeen year old daughter. now fed up and that my hope is that from now on we went be limited to just buying what's on sale that we might sometimes be able to buy something better. to me rafaela finds out how much she will receive in the coming days the highest possible amount is seven hundred eighty euros but few will receive that much it depends on the recipient's income and their assets rafaela receives three hundred euros a month in child support from the father of a daughter so she's hoping for about four to five hundred euros even before it begins the program has been heavily criticized by many in the e.u. italy currently has record levels of debt and many experts believe the country can't afford a program like this with a price tag of about six billion euros but the criticism isn't deterring luigi demaio his five star movement wants to get the program up and running before european elections. it was one of their election promises very important ambition
10:20 am
of this government specially for the five star which has come under increasing pressure in recent months. italian authorities have been busy with applications for weeks a lot to do with the payments will be strictly monitored money won't go directly into bank accounts rather on to special credit cards it's strictly forbidden for example to buy lottery tickets buy items online and book airline flights but experts doubt if the system will have the effect on the country's economy that the government promises. the basic income is rich state investment policies that were implemented by many european countries up until well into the one nine hundred seventy s. and then bit by bit disappeared. rafaela ferraro says she will vote for the five star movement next time she goes to the polls she's grateful for the money but she would rather have a job. where some sports now and in football barcelona be liverpool three nil the
10:21 am
first leg of their champions league tie. opening the scoring twenty six minute little massey's scoring the second fifteen minutes from time struck again just seven minutes later the second leg will be taking place in liverpool next tuesday to decide who will face either. the file. with me now in the studio ed mccambridge is ever welcome ed from the sports desk you know when we look at leo messi last night those two goals he was certainly the standout was well he's actually annoying. being that good at your job those are his eleven and twelve goals of this champions league campaign in just nine appearances which would be remarkable figures for anybody other than leo messi he makes he makes remarkable on remarked the way he does this all the time his first was a relatively simple top and he just reacted quicker than anybody else to double boston on his lead in the second half and then he scored so free kick you'd be proud to score a computer game it was what over thirty yards out and made it impossible for the
10:22 am
goalkeeper to say that absolutely fantastic strike and it must be frustrating for liverpool because they kept him relatively subdued for the most part but i mean there's no stopping him and he found a way to get a couple of goals and now boston have a huge advantage in the second that yeah going into that you know we talked yesterday about the game did we somehow underestimate barcelona do we over estimate your complaint in liverpool i mean you called to what you were for or you were pretty close i say i'm feeling a little bit smug because amid all the talk of how fantastic clubs liverpool team is and what motivates me is i did think that barcelona which would win simply because they have the best players now little pool will be kicking themselves up to decide because they actually enjoyed more position they had more shots they had more passes which is no easy feat when you play the way it's possible but they said you had few geniuses on the pitch when it came down to and what these big games are so often decided by who just has the magical moments and when you have leo messi around and if those he was the one with magical moments last night but it's not
10:23 am
over for for liverpool and field has been some wild fantasies in the past thousands of third's tales as well where would coming back from three nil down against barcelona rank in the path the on of liverpool's european rights we're talking about the second leg next week i think it would be a huge task so i mean whether or not it ranks alongside the famous miracle of ystem . in two thousand and five where they also came back from three no downs when that game is neither here nor there but they have a huge huge huge task if they can to make it this fall and you and i actually spoke yes the bow about the possibility of liverpool actually ending the season empty handed despite these great performances and domestically and phenomenal performances in europe as well he said there's a very good chance that he and this is with nothing and i sadly think last night's result means that they probably will end the season without any silverware it's well which is a very sad thing that would be a sad thing for your in club and for look forward to see next week at his ever thanks very much now to us becoming the dream job for many k.
