honestly if he hadn't left we would have starved here. then they were he simply would have starved. that us land and on one of them a look at the industrial city of mary kay reveals why locals are stopping the factories here as everywhere in venezuela i read a standstill only 2000 of the original 12000 still operate venezuela produces hardly anything itself any more including food the giant cattle farms are empty. then 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 they were food shortages so mature as simply had more money printed to keep the system going the resulting hyperinflation was the final blow to venezuela's economy mellor lives with the consequences every day the children rarely get enough to wait you don't even if you didn't even know i am leaving me for food thing. i think that they understand when i tell them that i
2:04 pm
have nothing to give them their little swim and sometimes they cry as it is if it's not easy when your child begs you for food. and you can't give them anything. it's very very difficult. but. highly damaging system of state terra keeps the regime in power the. paramilitary gangs on by the government intimidate the people through the tree rule and tara the president has also made the military compliant. little pool swimming juror who installed his military friends and to keep his or shins an industry the man who heads the petroleum industry is a general. for a boy when he knows nothing about oil installed military people in all key industry positions they have no idea how to run an oil industry the one having to be the.
2:05 pm
petroleum production has broken down because of this mismanagement it is now at the same level as it was in 945 american chinese and russian political and security interests clash directly in venezuela without russia's help them a do rogue regime would have already collapsed. venezuela is just one piece in a global game of poker the losers in this game of people like maliki hata and tonight was he well they believe if things didn't feel beautiful to me if i had the chance i take my children and leave me just like that me to go out would they have it even if they could millions more people would flee venezuela just to survive. now with that my venezuelan colleague and journalist right here at g.w. suspended service ramirez's your hunger to see you and it is just so heartbreaking we're just saying watching these people in the. people events were suffering so
2:06 pm
much that 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 suddenly i mean when you go through that 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 don't have much of them go out without papers without studies i mean young people and that's the tragedy we see. in venezuela that of 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 country that is not just a problem for venezuelans i mean for them but also for the for the region i mean countries like colombia that has received 1000000 500000 venezuelans we represent like one point that was $7000000.00 for the country to give then health education
2:07 pm
security and everything so this isn't president situation for the region for sure one of the mother of the biggest mother in crisis in the word to see earlier 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 my 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 ited states but inside the country mother 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 he came back to venezuela he was received like a hero. venezuelans that was he's moment something have been slow something didn't
2:08 pm
work and then he has been after all year voting nothing has changed in the country i mean there was still in power and why those being criticized even for his supporters so what's going next though has given me like a 2nd brief. so we saw last week in the national assembly remind us about that what happened he tried to take his 2nd period in the in the assembly. the government getting one thing to get inside the parliament so he had to take his period the 2nd he 2nd preferred 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 2 the states going together. in the middle and it's one of the hostage suffer in the house in a lot of pain and that is the drama of course the venezuelans caught in the crossfire so to speak. pleasure talking to you thank you very much for enlightening
2:09 pm
us and you can watch the full documentary displaced venezuela on the documentary channel on you tube next up more than 50 people have been killed in avalanches in pakistan controlled kashmir officials say many villagers have been stranded by the avalanches in the valley area following heavy rain and snow fall that also triggered landslides another 10 people are missing. germany france and the u.k. have expressed their hopes for saving the 2015 nuclear deal with iran you foreign policy chief of burrell confirmed that they'll be triggering what's known as the dispute resolution mechanism of the steps being taken in response to tehran's backing off from its nuclear commitments the process could ultimately lead to the
2:10 pm
accord being scrapped all those figures say they want to preserve it the united states has unilaterally abandoned the deal a 2 years ago here's what mr burrell had to say about that. again with the disputed issues should make today's move is not to bring both sanctions. again will this make a decision used to resolve issues relating to the implementation of the agreement within differing of the joint commission. i think it's has to be clear that it is checked to is therefore to find solution and return to full compliance mission defraying war disagreement the e.u. foreign policy chief speaking there earlier which in our attention now to libya the libyan strongman general. has left ceasefire talks in moscow without signing a peace deal aimed at ending 9 months of fighting these 2 warring sides met in the
2:11 pm
russian capital where russian and turkish officials mediate at the talks the agreement was signed by a half stars rival fayez surats the leader of the un recognized government based in tripoli turkey's president edwin meanwhile has said he's willing to quote teach huster a lesson should attacks resume. well earlier i had the opportunity to speak to our correspondent evilly share when in moscow and i began by asking her if there is 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
2:12 pm
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 house there had 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. 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
2:13 pm
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 and so raj in the past as well but reports media reports say that russian mercenaries have been fighting on the side of huffed 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
2:14 pm
without a deal that kind of puts into question how much influence really moscow has over how far as well i've been 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. let's review now on some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 6 people have died in a huge sinkhole that opened up in the city of seizing in northwestern china all the staff them swallowed a bus and protest or in some triggered an explosion that authorities believe that was caused by ruptured gas or electricity lines. one of 4 suspects charged with the 2018 murder of slovak journalist could shock and his fiance has pleaded guilty to murder their software check says he was hired as a contract killer the alleged mastermind
2:15 pm
a local businessman who has pleaded not guilty was shot had been investigating alleged government corruption. 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. it 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 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 nearly 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 presidents have already been hit hard. us
2:16 pm
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 but i feel bad for the workers especially those who rely on a business to support themselves. some are already attempting a cleanup but the filipino authorities a clear things could still get much worse than an appealing the condition of the taal volcano remains at alert level 4 that means a hazardous explosive eruption could take place in a timeframe of hours to days. so low that. this is what the authorities are 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
2:17 pm
triggering a tsunami with no certainty over when disaster could strike presidents and their livelihoods left in limbo. and next a major new report has shown that the world's oceans continue to grow warmer in $29000.00 while that trend is an alarming one the last 5 years were each in their time the hottest on record and researchers say this warming of our oceans is already having a major impact on marine life and on the severity of storms cyclons and hurricanes . as our planet warms up due to the greenhouse effect the vast majority of trapped heat is absorbed by the oceans over 90 percent of it the oceans therefore provide a key buffer that helps keep temperatures on our planet stable but their capacity to absorb heat isn't endless and marine eco systems are suffering organisms like
2:18 pm
corals that can't flee the higher temperatures simply die back to back bleaching and catastrophic mortality has meant we've lost 50 percent of all corals on the great barrier reef in 2 years and this is meant we've needed entirely new ways to think about how can we fast track both resilience and recovery and warmer oceans are having another major impact on our planet's colder regions even a slight rise in water temperature causes the glaciers to melt more rapidly from below billions of tons of ice have already disappeared from the ice caps in a nutshell warmer ocean temperatures mean rising sea levels the minister marine biodiversity and more powerful storms. and with me here in the studio is my colleague i didn't hear on john from d.w. environments again a very alarming report can you flesh out the findings of this of this study yes of the report takes new danger and basically shows the $29.00 team with the warmest
2:19 pm
year on record for the oceans and this is a almost regular pattern now that we see 2019 woman 20182018 with woman 2017 and i mean you have these time to thriving but also rising faster and faster and i mean one of the studies both of compare the amount of energy that we're adding to the oceans to every last 25 years to something like dropping 3600000000 atom bombs into the oceans i mean maybe those holes are not an easy way to imagine i mean how big is an atom bomb but what's really significant i think that the heat gain just last year was according to one of the stored studies other of the 44 times larger than all the energy that humans are actually using directly so just explain the. the energy that we're using 3 burning grit but in fossil fuels and so on is having a great woman effect on the planet because because of climate change because these gases form a protective barrier and they take they trap heat energy into the atmosphere so all
2:20 pm
of this is happening to our oceans it's again it's incredibly alarming and you've illustrated already how is it how this will impact us but just make it more concrete i mean how will we what will be the fallout for us from heating oceans if the oceans are a lot closer to us than they sometimes feel for many people think if you don't actually live next to the coast and one of the maybe i mean for the. actual livelihood the people living there say if you're a fisherman then yes i mean same fish populations go down because the fish concrete with a woman want to clearly that's a massive issue to deal with but then you've also got other things like the warmer waters leading to sea level rise because the water expands of it heats up and this of all sorts of really really difficult implications of natural disasters so we're talking about storms getting stronger floods being much more intense so the effects on humans very very present already seeing them it's very easy to then to be like
2:21 pm
ok well we can't do anything about this very you know hopefully you'll give us some new is that we can use is there anything we can do to reverse contain or just stop this from getting so much worse so the 2 things and i mean the scientists i spoke to repeat this again to me that essentially we need to mitigate so we need to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas that we're pumping out so that the air for warming effect is lower and real to me to adopt if your crystal communities people living in small or island states or in little lying megacities on the coast then we need to adopt that people there would need to then i mean whether that's building sea walls or even in extreme case of relocating entire communities but a cessna. of warming is already locked into the system based on what we've already emitted and that means that whatever happens however much we cut on emissions we also need to adopt the new world with. john from d.w. environment thank you so much thank you. next in other news.

2:23 pm
a time for those trying to gain the last entry spots but then it was restarted because officials at the city of melbourne's air quality improved more than one player back to disagree with that air quality assessment. slovenia's povich was winning her qualifying match when this happened on court the umpire and other officials rushed to help. complaining she was really scared and could not catch her breath a problem she later said she'd never had before. this in the run up to a tourney meant that is wary of too many scheduling shifts. despite the dubious air quality organizers plowed ahead on tuesday after a short delay then they fended off a storm of criticism. but the equality was told this morning and so based on the equality in the ratings on saw it we made the decision to suspend ply and push back qualifying and continually monitor equality on saat but then we took the advice the
2:24 pm
medical advice as well as the sciences advice and that of the myriad ology and made decision to continue continue with play government scientists advised that the air quality was hazardous on tuesday the state environmental agency forecasting it to be the same on wednesday then improved to moderate later in the week. povich is reaction to the air quality was not an isolated one on the courts of melbourne nor was the fewer over the push to continue play. spectators applauded as the player was let off the court sound an image likely seared into the memories of tournament officials at least for the coming weeks. the nominations for this year's academy awards have been announced in los angeles the dark comic book film drama joker has done particularly well it leads the pack with 11 nominations including for best picture here's a look at the films on the short list. joaquin phoenix earned
