couple of days so this situation is likely to intensify even further as we go along so what you've actually done is because it's just told us the facts as they are i'd be interested in your opinion why do you think this is going to go which way do you think it should go. i think we have a clear position that you undertow is a legitimate interim president of venezuela in accordance with the constitution of n.s.a. and. we call on everyone involved to refrain from violence and seek a peaceful solutions to a national dialogue and a democratic transition that can only be resolved through fair and free elections and to enable that and to make that possible i think. my door has to step aside i think there were rumors the last couple of days he was already plotting his refuge to cuba i'm not sure how. realistic that scenario is but
6:04 pm
it's clear that neither the majority i do at the moment can it can secure the full support of the of. sorties in immunise way and so that stalemate may continue for quite a while and should germany become more actively involved in the situation. i think we have become quite active in well who among the leading nations recognizing president gado as legitimate sink even our best or has been dismissed from venice a law for his involvement in this situation which we strongly protest i think what we should be urging more for maybe is really see the sanctions on the majority regime up on the people of venezuela but on the individuals of the regime in terms of results a student visa for the family members to european countries in terms of freezing illegitimate illicit eventually to assets that they have transferred to european countries and otherwise and to increase the pressure to make everyone work towards

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 bread 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. to some of the stories making news around the world italy's interior minister matter of the congress prime minister viktor orban a big touring hungary's border fence with serbia it's three meters high made of while i was erected in twenty fifteen to keep out migrants trying to reach western europe is to salvini told reporters that europe has to do more to protect its land

6:13 pm
been marking its annual holocaust remembrance day to ensure the world never forgets the atrocities committed against jewish people during the second world war quarter of the six million jews murdered perished in the nazi death camps at auschwitz birkenau in poland on thursday holocaust survivors led the annual three kilometer march of the living from auschwitz to better known to commemorate the victims. and that commemoration comes amid the largest spike in anti semitic violence for decades experts say part of the reason is that members of the holocaust and are fading so a new project has come up with an effective way to keep those memories alive and co nasmyth and tell us we welcome i mean how do you keep passing these memories on from generation to generation and it's not easy to keep those alive and so the idea
6:14 pm
here is use something like instagram to tell the stories of the holocaust to a younger generation and you can really think of this like and frank's diary of that classic book but instead of a diary what if and frank had a smartphone take a look. this film depicting the german army entering hungary during world war two might look like a hollywood film production but it's not in fact it was shot on a smartphone and portrayed format for an instagram audience it tells the true story of thirteen year old eva hyman in one nine hundred forty four she kept a daily journal for three months before the nazis deported to auschwitz even a story is told in the first person as if she had a smartphone during the holocaust and could have regularly documented it on instagram is israeli tech entrepreneur marty call javi personally financed the project and together with his daughter directed it with the help of social media
6:15 pm
they're trying to establish a new way to remember the horrors of the holocaust museums and book sucks for me and we bring that in a meaningful way into the social media and allow children and young people to learn about it and young uses are already starting to discuss even a story online many have suggested the effect heavy instagram portrayal is too superficial for a story of such suffering others appeared to be embarrassed we break yeah yeah but the media. has traditionally been in the past so i would say that was a little bit taken aback thousands are now learning about the fate of nun she gave her diary to a neighbor shortly before she was deported to auschwitz it survived she did not she was murdered in october of nineteen forty four. but coalesce with this project is quite interesting but yeah i mean it's a powerful story and even what went into this production is really interesting as
6:16 pm
well i mean this is not your typical kind of low budget instagram production as you can see the director who we saw there in the piece he spent millions of his own dollars with on the cast and crew of four hundred people he got to get the military costumes tanks trucks these are all authentic things from world war two to really bring this story to life he also developed a special camera and you can see a lot of the shots here are shot in kind of selfie style so he made a special camera so that the main character could film herself as if she had a phone in her hand so far it looks like those millions of dollars are pretty well spent in just a few weeks this account now has more than eight hundred thousand followers and what sort of reception has been going well as you saw a lot of people are really reacting positively to this story they say it's an innovative way it's an immersive way of understanding and bringing these stories of holocaust victims across to the younger generation there is though some pushback and some criticism inside of israel itself they say look you know this kind of
6:17 pm
selfie culture it may not be appropriate i mean in some of the videos you can see here they use things like a tag a location tag that just simply says ghetto or the hashtag there said life during war and you know one might argue that things like that might be insensitive given how serious of a topic the holocaust is there is they'll fill one very high profile supporter of this project that would be prime minister benjamin netanyahu and self here's what he had to say about the project who is in the loop. now i want to encourage you each and every one of you to also make a story about people who were murdered in the holocaust so that the world will understand and that we will remember what we've lost and what we've gained back with the establishment of the stakes in israel because. they do. of course to keep those memories alive and to continue to commemorate what happened during the holocaust the difficult thing is many of those survivors are not many of them left
6:18 pm
generation is starting to pass on how do you keep those memories alive how do you get the younger generation involved in this is one in a way that innovative way of doing it i think a lot of young people are very receptive to it and in particular the projects meant to grab attention as well i think as you can tell it's done that eight hundred thousand followers that is a lot for such a new account congressman thank you german chancellor angela merkel is on a three day tour of west africa which will include a visit to german troops in mali a wednesday she promised millions of euros in germany eight to fight terrorism and support economic development in the g five countries of mauritania mali chad and back you know foster economy is the region are suffering due to poor security and conflict and poverty a driving migration to europe. the german chancellor has come to this to show solidarity in a region where countries like book enough. have to spend more than a fifth of their budgets on security germany has some eight hundred fifty
6:19 pm
soldiers stationed in mali as part of the un force machall pledged support to continue to build up the g. five own capabilities to tackle terrorism. at their joint meeting in what they do go to five leaders called on the chancellor and europe to help solve the political conflicts behind the violence. so that they sort of learned we talked about the situation in libya questions concerning old theory. and also first and foremost the impact of the crisis in libya on security in the extended region. we were all of the opinion that it is important that europe's leaders and institutions make a plea in favor of the chief five so hell for all of these issues since these are of course questions that concern us because short piece on the sort of reports. the
6:20 pm
fact that germany didn't agree with the two thousand and eleven bombing of libya that ousted moammar gadhafi gives it great credibility here macko accepts europe's joint responsibility. it's the responsibility that also affects europe because if chaos gets the upper hand here which we would like to prevent that would also make itself felt in other areas also germany's message here is that while it won't deliver weapons it will keep up its support for the d. five in this sorrow region where the former colonial power france continues to do most of europe's heavy lifting in fighting terrorists. german chancellor angela merkel wants to reassure the region countries the g five that they are not alone in the fight against terrorism she's brought some fifty million euros in first funds for book enough aso and he said alone at the same time germany still stops sort of
