11:06 am
they would at least have one meal a day the food that reached there's not enough at the moment to stop just tribute ing it because in the last days it's been raining strong here so helicopters and planes could not go there ok food aid is a top issue what about some of the other relief efforts that need to happen is mozambique's government on top of this well if you have a situation whereby thousands of people in a place like still don't receive food aid i don't think you can say the government is on top of it but the president wasn't evil as well yesterday to iran through a lot of affected areas but now he has to act they can't blame it now on the weather 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 on 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 floodwaters on the way
11:07 am

11:10 am
allegiances but president maduro says why don't efforts at a coup failed. a violent stole made in caracas on one side opposition protesters on the other the national guard still largely low to nicholas madrone and his revolution. the injured it carried away and then this violent game of cat and 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 that. the opposition called this a decisive die for venezuela but they said that often since anti-government unrest began in january and. is still far from the presidential palace so from the streets he urged supporters to keep up the pressure. with what we have sector fires has not been in vain they thought all the protests would be over if the as today they were wrong let's keep

protesting until we have freed than a sailor was. but despite months of pressure nicolas maduro can still mobilize supporters to pro-government militias crowded in along side in a style just for the light chavez and a mayday rally. the other venezuela seemingly as defiant as ever. but i see this is a show of strength against us imperialism and its aggressive plans. and the duras message now that only he can defend the country against washington and the venezuelan lated nice he's going anywhere. yesterday school to skirmish that played out yesterday was personally directed from the white house by john bolton to a die off to venezuela look further into chaos it appears that not the government

nor opposition is any closer to victory instead the country's vicious style might is producing yet more suffering and yet more victims. we have some sports our football barcelona beat liverpool three nil on the first leg of their champions league tie last i. luis suarez opening the scoring for the spanish host in the twenty sixth minute then little messy scoring the second fifteen minutes from time he struck again just seven minutes later the second leg will be taking place in liverpool next tuesday to decide who will face either a i x. or tottenham in the final. with me now in the studio ed mccambridge is every welcome ed from his words. you know when we look at leo messi last night those two goals he was certainly the standout was a well he's actually annoying i mean imagine 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 of the mess he makes he
11:13 am
makes remarkable on remarkably 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 could be proud to score a computer game it was one of the yards and made it impossible for the 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 you are going into that you know we talked yesterday about the game did we somehow underestimate barcelona do we over estimate you're going to blow up and liverpool i mean you called to what you were for or you were pretty close i'm feeling a little bit smug because amid all the talk of how fantastic clips of a pull to him is and what motivates me is i did think that boss alone would would win simply because they have the best players now little pool will be kicking themselves i just said 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
11:14 am
possible to but they said you had few geniuses on the pitch when it came down sweet and when these big games are so often decided by who just has the magical moments and when you have a little messi around and if he was the one with magical moments last night but it's not over for for liverpool and field has been some wild fantasies in the past thousands of thirds tells 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 a stem. in two thousand and five where they also came back from three meltdowns when that guy. is neither here nor there but they have a huge huge huge task if they can to make it to this funnel 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 performance in europe as well we said there's a very good chance that the end this isn't nothing and i sadly think last night's
11:15 am
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 and for liverpool will have to see next week at his ever thanks very much this is g.w. live from berlin i'm brian thomas for the entire news team thanks so much for joining us up next we have a look at the legacy of. the us that. shifting powers the old order is history the world is real uniting itself and the media's role is keep the topic in focus of the global media forum twenty nineteen today one of two people is online who are we following who do we trust do.
