the political stalemate clashes in caracas over the last few days have left four people dead that's according to human rights groups quite a declared himself but it's where this interim president back in january a move that's been supported by the united states germany and many latin american countries. are right let's go now to our correspondent oscar shrinker he is standing by for us in caracas good evening to you. i want to start with the news of this arrest warrant that has been issued for opposition politician leopoldo lopez but what do we know beyond that. well as you know yes well survives. on tuesday through this is true it's happened and he is now. the spanish embassy as a guest well what does this mean that the supreme court votes that well that office

house arrest condition that he's had for a couple of years and now wants to put him back in jail but this is a bit complex to allies in educational matters because one way to go this recognizes as about fifty nations including spain sound current for this freedom on tuesday so now the difficulty lies in spain well there are. newly elected plans to do it with their own laws to this complexity don't post office father and citizen was elected as are all in syria and here and you know last week rivers sentenced bank in anything. can seek asylum in spain because answer today he was standing there. yet if he gets an oscar if we see this being done against lopez this evening what about one if says that why did was part of this attempted coup what are the chances of him issuing an

arrest warrant for why does. well all these chances are always there isn't there has always been the threat of one well being arrested and there have been more than what it's meant to do so i think that there is a lot of pressure on the government from the base to arrest one i don't but there's also a lot of pressure international not do so and. that is sorrow and said now those security team a fine way to go that's increased their their operations to madison's off with a lot of security and for that increased the numbers is it because of an increased risk to his safety yes there is definitely an increased increased risk to safety and we've seen that with this team there's not more security that they are keeping

a low profile for which florence events that we've been seeing yesterday and the day before. he is not keeping such a low profile today compared to the past two days of the we saw him today with his generals at a military parade in caracas what does that tell us about how he perceives his power tonight. well i think it's important for her it's too shallow there is getting loose and they are forcing us what we saw on tuesday with the freedom of never want openness and with this quicksand paralyzed nation on its say is that there are fractures within the armed forces and he does not have complete control there is a break in command from what went on tuesday and it's important for him to show there is unity supporting him within the armed forces so that's why we're seeing much more of them together with military and on forces today and asked what about

the influence of russia and the united states in venezuela tonight is russia tonight at least looking like it has the upper hand. well there are analysts that suggest that in the future and that's what i was in the hands of negotiations between russia and the united states and that's what really happened seems to have has unique it is evidence that both countries want to broaden what happens here and it has to do with own cheerful little strategy and any kind of economic interest there is nothing in venezuela that russia can get a better price elsewhere in the world that they are their presence here is priceless because that's why last well resources and borders with a long brazil and it's nearer to the united states and other countries in the region for russia there is more of a geopolitical distance you keep in venezuela and for the united states there's

also an interest to keep russia away from the region but all this goes beyond an economic interest because there's little. times in the past years our infrastructure is not what used to be crises rembrandts and constant crisis and turmoil making and spencer she said any kind industry so we have to take that into balance when we. go shish and play out between russia and the united states did abused her reporting from caracas tonight thank you. sudan has seen another day of protest as people from across the country came to the capital to join what was billed as a million person march tens of thousands took part in the mass rally in khartoum they're trying to pressure the military to hand over power to a civilian government the army ousted president omar al bashir in mid april and took over the country's interim leadership but protesters fear the generals intend

to hold on to power. security forces in between they have broken up hundreds of protesters demonstrating against an election in which no opposition parties were allowed to run results announced on tuesday gave president patrice tell on total control of parliament one report says that three people have been killed in the clashes. these protestors are afraid democracy is going up in flames. even as violence fled and austerity sent in the troops they've arrived not to be deterred. we'll keep going we're not afraid of prison. democracy is precious to us that's why we are rising up. been in has developed a vibrant political scene since transitioning to democracy in one nine hundred ninety five hundred new electoral laws voters last weekend could choose from only two parties both of them to president petrie's. after the opposition calls for

a boycott less than one in full vote has time diet. that states have time on the streets calling on president to hold everyone seen up birth is not afraid of the planets he can either rerun the election or resign it's one or the other he should rerun the election with all the parties and we'll see if the people approve of these methods or disapprove the local three zero. as rights groups and the protestors are determined to prevent a return to ben means authoritarian past. or hear some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world twenty four min accused of being involved in the murders of two scandinavian tourists have appeared in court in morocco the beheaded victims' bodies were found in the atlas mountains last december prosecutors are treating the killings as terrorism after propaganda videos featuring the main suspects surfaced online. leaks founder julian assange has

appeared in a london court for the first hearing of the u.s. extradition request washington wants him to face trial for allegedly trying to hack a pentagon computer on wednesday a songe was jailed for fifty weeks for skipping bill in the u.k. back in twenty twelve. israel today marked its annual holocaust remembrance day commemoration ceremonies have been taking place across the country the nation came to a standstill as people pause to remember the six million jews murdered by the nazis during the border. and in poland the holocaust survivors led the annual three kilometer march of the living from auschwitz to birkenau to commemorate the victims a quarter of all those killed perished in the nazi death camps at al schmitz because of.

was. this comes amid the largest spike in enticement of violence in decades experts say part of the reason is that memories of the holocaust are fading now there's a new project with an innovative way to keep those memories alive nason is here to tell us more coral how do you pass on these these difficult memories from generation to generation right i mean that's the russian here and the idea is to use instagram to bring some of these difficult stories these emotional stories to a younger audience even kind of think of this brand as an frank's diary but imagine if instead of a diary she had a smartphone take a look. i think. 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 nineteen 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 monte coffee personally financed the project and together with his daughter directed it with the help of social media they're trying to establish a new way to remember the horrors of the holocaust museums and booksellers for me. we bring them in a meaningful and serious way into the social media and allow children and young people to learn about it and young users are already starting to discuss 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 the high 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. these are powerful stories this seems like a great idea was the background in a powerful story and to tell it you know this wasn't just your typical kind of low budget do it yourself instagram project there was a lot of money a lot of time invested in this the director who we saw in that piece spend millions of his own dollars with a cast and crew of nearly four hundred people those military costumes the tanks the trucks you see there those are all authentic he also developed a camera i mean you can see a lot of these shots they look like the main character there is filming on the phone he developed a special camera to get that effect there so far i mean the money here seems to be well spent in just

a few weeks this account has eight hundred thousand followers and counting a lot of people paying attention so the reception for the project has been good it's been good i mean you saw in the piece a lot of young people it's reaching its target audience however there is some pushback especially in israel itself or this topic is so sensitive some people there say hey look maybe this kind of selfie culture isn't the right way to tell such a sensitive topic i mean and if you look at some of these videos you know it's not shying away from the way that young people use instagram see hashtags they're like hash tag of life during war or location tag that simply says ghetto i mean one could argue that that is being potentially a little bit insensitive here when it comes to during about something like the holocaust this though does have a very high profile supporter brand we're talking about israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself and here's what he said about the project it's her roots in the loop and. 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 so that we will remember what we've lost and what we've gained back with the establishment of the state should israel. yamin brian we were talking you know this generation it's on its disappearing and how you want to keep. yes memories alive this is certainly one way of doing it you have to be careful though how the story is told but yeah no matter what i mean this was meant to grab people's attention i think it's definitely succeeded in that and there is the worry that you will have people going to vince and taking selfies that does happen right yeah which does happen i mean i think the way that this was told though the story here it was sensitive data on ask me as always thank you are we going to syria now where over the last seven years kurdish fighters have succeeded in carbonell and autonomous region in the north of the country but with the united states pulling its troops out of syria the region is now under threat

from the assad regime and from turkey which regards the kurds as a terrorist threat. florian noir health visited a town near the turkish border to see how a group of critics women are preparing for potential attacks. these women not fair where the warriors. braving the rain they have come to practice and marksmanship. their house wives mothers and grandmothers but they're also part of the p.c. gen an all female militia that's drawn up all of a coach controlled more than syria. this group from the town of derek is led by sharon farmer a veteran of the struggle for kurdish rights that's. huge b.c. gen was formed as an internal security force but back at base sharon says the women were also stand up to any outside threat. i'm not saying we are not

afraid of our enemies and we are always well prepared for them was one of the our enemies threaten as daily we will fight and sacrifice for this land. the kurds expel the outside regime from northern syria when the civil war broke out in twenty eleven they have since been autonomous. but the regime has a lingering presence. it's a hold on to some neighborhoods in the town of commission the capital of the kurdish region and now that it is winning the war goes once full control of the country. turkey visible from the rooftops of the border town commission it's also hostile to kurdish self rule in syria in the kurdish region it's not unusual for women to pick up a gun thousands join the fight against islamic state and many did not return home. they lie buried in cemeteries like this one come initially.

the kurds of control northern syria an offshoot of the p.k. a guerrilla group that waged a bloody insurgency in turkey and that's been designated a terrorist organization by nato. it's lead up to it actually on has been sitting in a turkish jail since one thousand nine hundred nine from a cell you know preaches ideals such as full equality for women it's an idea that the syrian kurds have been putting into practice. jagga is the co president of the autonomous government based in coming here in government positions a coach at by a woman how about the whole mission. of what we consider this revolution to be the revolution of women. we are trying to change the mentality within our society by implementing gender equality. you know islam one is would ask creating a new society based on democratic governance then you have a video of them. sharing past enough for

a son and daughter. she says that action inspired her to join the kurds resistance in syria when she was still a teenager. who. did a lot for this before he came we almost forgot that we are kurds because of the oppression and the denial of the kurdish identity by our enemies. on sharon's phone memories of a fight for could issue rights it's been a long struggle and she's determined to defend the hard won gains. well if we're all going to drive electric cars we're going to need batteries on all france germany or jump starting a joint project to produce batteries for electric vehicles they're asking the european commission to approve state subsidies to help fund the project the aim is to reduce europe's dependency on batteries from asian supply. electric cars is

still something of a rarity on the streets the same goes for charging stations last year just two million electric cars were sold worldwide but that's about to change all the major com makers have announced plans to develop electric models and that means batteries without which the vehicles simply can't budge. production by total storage capacity is dominated by asian companies the heavyweights include china owned invision a e.s.c. from japan it supplies nisson among others south korea's l.g. chem build. and forward china's b y d n c a t l supply homegrown produces and market leader panasonic from japan builds batteries for test vehicles. now germany and france want to spend up to one point two billion euros in

developing europe's battery production part of the funds have allegedly been earmarked for a consortium including french com make up a show and sister company opel in germany the two have plans for a battery cell factory a total of thirty companies have registered interest in the subsidies but some warning against using tax revenue to subsidize the sector the german center for automotive research says european batteries wouldn't be competitive due to the high cost of electricity needed to make them and because robots do most of the production work job creation would be no such critics say the subsidies would provide little benefit. already the. joy of. mali and she's from our business desk so why is it so important for europe to get into the business of making these car batteries well it's end of the question brant it's all about europe now as we heard there in the report reducing the dependency

on asian suppliers is a part of it but to argue that the reasons are purely economic and they only have to do with that wouldn't be right there's a big political dimension to this the european commission has likened this project to creating an arab bus for batteries so what does that mean it means a european champion and a global industry that is also by the way heavily subsidized so in a big way this is about politics france and germany want to get their brand out there to rival. asian dominance at a time where global industry really is just a race between us china and europe so and the press conference today now friend francis the finance minister lemaire made a point of saying that other european countries are interested in this as well italy belgium poland austria and so further underscoring how european this project is supposed to be there are critics though who say that this is a waste of money are they right well the criticism isn't isn't even about the money per se we're talking upwards of four billion euros with one point two billion euros

and those european subsidies of if approved now some analysts put investment in the sector at somewhere upwards of a trillion in the next two decades so really we're talking about a drop in the bucket here but the argument is that that money could probably be spent somewhere else critics are saying why aren't they investing this money in mobility concepts like mar sharing and moving away from individual car ownership and towards trends that benefit communities and cities so they're not arguing about putting up this venture would be bad for europe that's a fairly just that the gains might be bigger elsewhere it's a good point but when can we expect to see this for a good german consortium get go into business and charged because you go well those much awaited subsidies are expected to be green lighted in in october and a pilot factory of about top two with about two hundred employees is supposed to open up in france and the next month and the main goal is to get to production sites in france and germany up and running by twenty twenty three do you have

a car i do not marius benson brant this is true a bicycle is much better blocking i'm not walking cardio judo that you. well the president of france and italy have begun formal commemorations to mark five hundred years since the death of the renaissance genius leonora to the judge the heads of state laid wreaths at the french chateau where leonardo spent his final years and played up the ball between their nations. the mona lisa now on display in the louvre in paris helped establish his reputation as one of the greatest painters of all time but they are narrative and she applied his immense capabilities to a staggering range of endeavors seen arts and sciences. and she embodied the ideals of europe's renaissance the rebirth of learning and knowledge that marked europe's transition from the middle ages into majority. and you know this that

you know that even she was unquestionably born in italy he's from florence but beyond that he led a career at the service of several powerful men this career and his life and here in france and today he's undisputedly a universal figure and beauty must always bring together as many people as possible a celebrity with mexico in the us. it was in that spirit that the presidents of italy and france gathered at given she's tomb in was france. it's on the and it's on say did this renascence period was an extremely important time in the friendship between italy and france when rene soames jenius came to france to spend the rest of his life at the invitation of a young french king as an awful city davinci spent the last three years of his life at the chateau say and died here in fifteen nineteen at the age of sixty seven

but his legacy in contemporary europe has few equals. full is just over a month before the women's world cup kicks off in france and there is word that the best women's player in the world will not be competing that's right adda huggy bear the winner of last year's coveted by award was left off the norwegian team's roster that's wrong. place for a french club that has spoken out against her whole federation over frustrations with the state of the women's game in norway the national team coach says her bags absence is by her own decision. here's a reminder the top story that we're following for you but it's whalers president nicolas maduro has urged the army to fight off kooks walkers following this week's demonstrations opposition leader one why go has called for a series of strikes to try to push me out of power and israel marked its
