a standstill only 2000 of the original 12000 still operate venezuela produces hardly anything itself anymore including food the giant cattle farms are empty. been as well as our own products have been replaced with food imports highly subsidized by the state. the system worked well as long as petroleum prices were high but as soon as they fell there were food shortages so simply had more money printed to keep the system going the resulting hyperinflation was the final blow to venezuela's economy nella lives with the consequences every day the children really get enough to wait and even then even though they've only for food. they understand when i tell them that i have nothing to give them their little son sometimes they cry it's not easy when your child bengtsson for food. and you can't give them anything. it's very very difficult. but.

piece in a global game of poker the losers in this game of people like maliki hata and tonight as. well if things didn't feel beautiful to me if i had the chance. i take my children and leave i mean just like that need to go out. if they could millions more people would flee venezuela just to survive. all right let's do a deep dive now with that my venezuelan colleague and journalist right here at g.w. suspended service ramirez your hunger to see you and it is just so heartbreaking we're just saying watching these people and the people of venezuela suffering so much and having to leave their country in the millions can you just talk to us about do you see any like light at the end of the tunnel the situation may be improving it doesn't look like i mean when you go through life in america when you see these millions of people in the streets begging money young people do you you

cannot imagine they could back money in venice well i mean they did much of them go without papers without studies i mean young people and that's a tragedy we see abroad but in venezuela there are all people have been forsaken so . these inter inner politic crisis is still there i don't think i don't see a solution i mean we have already for more than 4000000 venezuelans running out of the contrie that is not just a problem for venezuelans i mean for them but also for the for the region i mean countries like colombia has received. 5 100000 venezuelans we represent like one point that was $7000000.00 for the country to give then health education security and everything so this isn't on president situation for the region for sure one of the mother the biggest modern crisis in the word of certainly in the

western hemisphere else you've got 2 men claiming to be the leader of venezuela you've got 2 men claiming to be the head of the national assembly why has gone not been able to capitalize on the support that he's getting from the e.u. from the united states and why is madeira still there because there is still supported. by the army i mean he has the he has the money he can use the force legally because he represents the state. though is a board but in the states but inside the country there always is still in power he can use the force. why the how to get a huge moment last year when he was he is the his tour in south america then he came back to venezuela he was received like a hero for venezuelans that was he's moment something have been herself something didn't work and then he has been after all year voting nothing has changed in the country i mean they were sitting by where and why though he's being criticized even for his supporters so what's going next month though has given me like

a 2nd brief after these a few so we saw last week in the national assembly for months about that what happened he tried to take his 2nd period in the in the assembly and the government getting one for him to get inside the parliament so he had to take his period and he said come prepared in another place by the government. another president of the national assembly so that's why we have 2 problems states and that's the big problem in venezuela so you have to the states going together. in the middle are innocent of the whole stage suffer in lot of pain and that is the drama of course the venezuelans caught in the crossfire so to speak you know hundreds mira's pleasure talking to you thank you very much for enlightening us. and you can watch the full documentary displaced venezuela on the documentary channel on you tube now to a developing story that we're tracking for you more than 50 people have been killed

in avalanches and pakistan controlled kashmir officials say many villagers have been stranded by the avalanches in the new valley area following a heavy rain and snowfall that also triggered landslides another 10 people are believed to be missing. the libyan strongman general. has left ceasefire talks in moscow without signing a peace deal aimed at ending 9 months of fighting libya's 2 warring sides met in the russian capital where russian and turkish officials mediate at the talks the agreement was signed by half there is rival fayez of surat the leader of the un recognized government based in tripoli well turkey's president everyone is said he's willing to quote teach huffed are a lesson should attacks resume and earlier i spoke to our correspondent in the

russian capital moscow and i asked her if have tears exit before signing a cease fire deal means that the talks have come to nothing. well they've certainly come to nothing concrete so raj did sign that peace deal but huffed are initially yesterday said he would need more time to think about it and that he would decide by morning today he then left to moscow so essentially it's a no deal there the 2 sides didn't meet face to face yesterday the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said that some progress had been made over 7 hours of talks and today as you said airto on has kind of been railing against terror he said that have to have run away from those talks today but ultimately the fact that the 2 sides met in moscow at all the 2 main sides in this very complicated libyan conflict is a success already many countries in previous conferences have tried to get the 2

leaders in one place and though they didn't meet face to face that can be considered some sort of progress right now this is a notoriously difficult conflict what does it mean in terms of russia's influence or deliver it has in libya if any. well the fact certainly for moscow the fact that these talks took place in moscow can be seen as a big success russia has been kind of in the middle east and now in libya trying to present itself as a mediator in that region as a broker ahead of these talks putin held talks with turkey he held talks with americal the german chancellor on saturday there's been kind of a flurry of diplomatic activity with him talking on the phone as well to the leaders of qatar egypt france and italy so parties involved in some way in the conflict trying to push for

a solution now moscow officially doesn't actually support any of the sides in this conflict they've invited both raj in the past as well but reports media reports say that russian mercenaries have been fighting on the side of hostile are the russian president on saturday denied that those people those russians potentially in the country have anything to do with the russians did it all but that is what reports have been saying but again the fact that has star left moscow without a deal that kind of puts into question how much influence really moscow has over how far as well in talks are expected to reconvene in berlin in a few days' time let's see if they are more successful here emily surely reporting from moscow thank you. i want to say now about some of the other stories making news around the world iran's president hassan rouhani has vowed to punish the people responsible for shooting down a ukrainian passenger plane the statement comes after the judiciary announced the

1st arrests in connection with the incident and after 3 days of angry protests over tehran's initial denial of any involvement. at least 6 people have died in a huge sinkhole that opened up in the city of sheening in north western china the stassen swallowed a bus and protests trains and shriek heard an explosion that authorities believe was caused by ruptured gas or electricity lines. thailand has confirmed that a hospitalized traveler from china is infected with a new strain of corona virus the virus has been linked to an ammonia outbreak in central china is thought to be the 1st confirmed case found outside of china. we could happen at any time and it could be extremely dangerous authorities in the philippines fear a volcano close to the capital manila is about to erupt well the government raised

threat levels after the volcano began spewing ash and lava on sunday so far some 30000 people have fled their homes but only half a 1000000 residents remain in the danger zone. tagaytay city is a ghost town. ash from the volcano is everywhere. even without a major eruption residents have already been hit hard. the ash from the volcano traveled with the wind and unfortunately it blew in our direction it didn't just affect us physically but also our livelihood our business had to close down it'll take a while to clean up and i feel bad for the workers especially those who rely on a business to support themselves. by. some are already attempting a cleanup but the filipino authorities

a clear things could still get much worse the not the condition of the tall volcano remains at alert level for that means a hazardous explosive eruption could take place in a timeframe of hours to days. so look. this is what the author of he's ever afraid of as well as the potential danger from lava an explosive eruption could cause part of the cocaine or to collapse into the lake triggering a tsunami with no certainty over when disaster could strike residents and their livelihoods left in limbo. germany's highest court is hearing a case brought by a group of journalists against the country's foreign intelligence service known as the b. and all the plaintiffs say a new law allows the b.m.d. to spy on journalists abroad almost without restrictions and share the information with other intelligence agencies they say this amounts to an unacceptable risk

strictures of press freedom and we spoke with one of the journalist bringing the case before the court. the world's most powerful are ambivalent towards him blush gaga one of slovenia's best known investigative journalists his research into the finnish arms dealer punter helped put a former slovenian prime minister in prison for 2 years on corruption charges. but it's gaga sensitive findings attracted the interest of intelligence agencies he believes that includes germany's intelligence service the b. and d. that's why he's now at germany's constitutional court fighting with other foreign journalists against possible surveillance by the b n d. a 3 with no meat if any intelligence service intelligence agency we are so very me and my war i'm going to the public interest. of all the fighting so hard to. regenerate on the right side so why do they why should they spy

on us. while the surveillance of journalists within germany is restricted germany's intelligence services may spy as much as they like outside the country they can collect masses of data for example what happens to the information the b.m.d. collects is unknown but in an era of international terrorism intelligence agencies are cooperating more closely than ever before everybody home all for a little bit more about. contemporary history and all those are specifically in the intelligence right and all that better than surrogates of slovenia specifically it is to have been shaped and played and coordinated by a germany that's why it's gaga and other journalists demand the same constitutional protection as their german counterparts they believe the intelligence services surveillance techniques are making journalists jobst more difficult. investigative

journalists already have quite difficult walk a lot of pressure on us a lot of threats a lot of legal issues and systemic stanek surveillance. making color or much more difficult because many possible sources they are just too afraid to contact us. 20. years ago germany's constitutional court turned down a similar legal action but this time the judges will hear the case and there are signs that they'll take a more nuanced approach. i'd like to welcome now former judge or current colleagues to the show he is his area of legal expertise includes matters related to enjoy all of intelligence gathering law enforcement and military like he's also a law professor professor at a very warm welcome source before we start talking about the details of this case currently be in front of the court can you tell us

a little bit more about this new law what does it entail. as now at the moment everybody is complaining we indeed had not a real legal basis for the investigations of road. we distinguish to consul of so-called signal intelligence and the one is cross border that concerns typically german citizens using telecommunication tools with road persons and. fear is when the german foreign intelligence was surveilling only telecommunication approach it when we non-citizens and for these investigation measures we had no law until 2016 and then we made warm and plaintiffs now are of c. opinion the opinion that this law is not enough what do you make in your legal

opinion and your ex expertise what you make of this case now in front of the court do the plaintiffs have you know have reason to be worried. i would say. the plaintiffs are foreign to us and. each man or woman on this planet who is a foreign of firms of bond of any state view is treated as a foreign not and each one who is a citizen has a privileged of his own constitution and what plaintiffs are. what they are longing for is as a legal state you have a german citizen and it will be complicated question since i don't know and you state on this planet the government to use his human or his constitutional rights to foreign office so this lot just to make this law only targets non german

citizens non german porters isn't that problematic though so domestic journalists or german journalists are not. the target of this law yes that's right if we communicate if a german journalist communicates with a source outside of germany or with a foreign reporter are those communications monitored you know. if there is one partner and they come in occasion of german citizen or living in germany then he has a full guarantee us a german constitution. that opens the arsehole whole lot of questions because what this case is now currently in front of the highest court of the land. whatever the outcome is it will have an impact on the freedom of press. is that a good thing about thing in your legal no i would say there are 2 principles. worldwide and that is to respect human dignity and as

a principle of proportionality that mean any state action may not go over a certain amount and human dignity must be regarded as it concerns every man involving on this planet and that of course is also guaranteed. what about journalists in guatemala or. in france or and when and so on it because you're sharing that information potentially our not you but beyond the potentially shares that of course with other intelligence services you might not have a strong legal off framework to protect those people that is of course the biggest bunch but. the law for the b. and d. a guarantee use that. information's which could touch human dignity and so on maybe not given to all the intelligence services from which our skirts a college professor thank you ok. and in

a black belt today at 26 she's a 3 time world champion. it's about a kind of dent in competitive karate you compete in one of 2 categories. both have their charm and i hope that more and more people get the opportunity to experience both types of karate life. is a fake fight against an imaginary opponent the goal is the perfect flow of a choreography and competition a fighter can choose from 102 different cut ties. the fascinating thing about qatar is that despite it being a fixed form i can express myself really personally. also matures the time the longer you practice the kutta the more depth and meaning it can acquire. so when it's all get along. the 2nd category is called community and it is

a duel with a very real opponent dangerous techniques are forbidden here that means on the protected upper body a controlled bit of force is ok but on the head the so-called skin touches the limit. of a hit to the head is worth 3 points hits of the torso is worth 2 points and a normal kick is worth one point. at the request of the international olympic committee of the valuation system for both categories 1st had to be made suitable for the olympic games this is a break in tradition for the sport which has developed steadily over generations. one of the most important karate teachers in japan is cut so hero to yama sensei he's been training karate for more than 50 years and takes a critical view of the changes karate has undergone. means to the traditional japanese martial art but the new generation holiday season very. so many competitions and prices beckon i try to unite the old guard with the spirit of

competition for example at the well everything in kata every training every fight begins and ends with respect and decency. tradition meets commercialization but many in japan see the change positively. a centuries old sport will feel at home and perhaps refresh that tokyo 2020. thanks so much for watching.
