take to brussels. thank you very mucuch for being with us the us president donald trump is ready to declare a state of emergency to get his hands. on the six billion dollars to be all with mexico the white house has confirmed this president trump prepared then to sign the government funding bill and issue on the back of that a national emergency on the borde. the bills needed to avoid a partial federal shutdown on friday house speaker nancy pelosi is a democrat she of course is very much against. what said trump is doing she says?

was no emergency happening on the border on the news at the trump was ready to it was confirmed. by at mitch mcconnell that's enough from mcconnell and then policy. he alex said all my college educated he's prepared to sign the bill. he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. and i've indicated down that i'm going to prepare -- go to support. the national emergency declaration. so for all of my colleagues -- the president will sign the bil. will be voting on it shortly it's important to note that when the president declares this emergency first of all it's not an emergency. what's happening at the border planetetary and challenge to use will. review our options with the hair to respond appropriately to it. i know the republicans have some and ease about it because if the president can declare an emergency on something that he is created as an emergency. and it's it's it's an illusion that he wants to convey.

just think of what a president. with different values can present to the american people in there from out both sides of the aisle you're thihis bring it in for the analysis david smith bureau chief for the guardian newspaper. joining us from washington dave getting to you tell us about the implications of this latest new- i thihink donald trump is sorry trying to save face -- after -- if you remember -- i recollect study five day government shutdown over this demand for a bold a wall i tremendous political. haggling and and i see i was i think the the right wing. cocommentators in america goal o him that was still. a lot of talk that -- if you sign this bill -- produced by congress this this by it would have been -- humiliating defeat for him he would have caved in.. on his borderr wall demand and and so that the long awaited long speculated momentum he is indeed. reaching for these -- emergency power as i think. some critics will one day --

why did he not just do that -- several weeks ago an unavoidable pay of t to shut down the political costs -- but it's come to that last resort. now -- they the matches just -- in court to asked about that and said -- option and i could be heard i thought it was also telling that mitch mcconnell republican senate. majority leader said he would support -- trumps move to the county emergency and that it's a one of the big questions now will republicans gas on board to and i'm back the president thomas -- it's a good sign for him. mcmcconnell is sayaying he wells just a case of whether -- mitch mcconnell can get -- republican senators -- ted to go along with it -- but in the end and it sends a it's one ending but it's also i think the beginning of a of a long drawn out. legal battle that that will at least allow trump to say to his supporters. he's tried everything he's fighting tooth and nail to to

get this will build. i said with trump to it's it's a multi faceted situation there are different angles coming off every action that that he he makes and everything that he sanctions. updated in terms of what happens next the part nancy pelosi with the possible legal challenge annunci trump -- will be able to o say to his bae as you say that hehe did all the possibly could. a but beyond that what what is the likely to precautions -- going to be do you think in terms of what's happening on the border what happens the people coming to the border and of course those who get across. i i know i know yeah i mean firt her i the importer member as as polite as he touched all matter- does does deep political division i've -- is there a crisis all notes and the t tmp and republican rhetoric -- is that this is -- this is indeed emergency that -- violent criminals and gangs the pouring of that border must be stopped -- democrats taking a very different line in place he made a point in a press conference

you said that the real national emergency is is what we're marking the first anniversary of today which is the park in school shooting and i'm gun control i'm parties and divide classes will say. did -- early this week when that would trump had -- i to write how to rally near the border and democrats out i had a competing at riley. it will it will go on in the cold so -- and in the mean time and at the border will continue to be at least partially guarded and and they'll be debate over how serious that situation is and and whether in fact the real crosses that. humanitarian one but i i think now in a situation where that everything must be seen through the prism of the twenty twenty presidential election. and on both sides are really gearing up for that -- democrats who are already declaring themselves running for office well -- use this to say trump is is manufacturing a crisiss and usig

emergegency powers trump far up his base and say -- not vote for me again and this time i really willll get the whl builds. david smith we await the next move thank you very much indeed donald trump that to sign a bil. to end the current crisis to avoid a shutdown but also at the same time to declare a national emergency and get his hands on the six billion dollars. of taxpayers money to build that much. trumpeted much promised bold wall with mexico will keep across all developments on this story. next the venezuelan opposition envoy to washington as is urging ththe international cocommunityo help. thatat assisistance into. the crisis stricken country as callller saidd that youou spoket the international aids conference organized by the organization of american states. cuba accused the united states of fly milititary transport cloe to the border area with the a.

trucks a blocked.. let's begin eduardo re also political scientist the seals spoke -- in paris an expertt abobout is wher for more on this. one a lot of joining a sash you see that from london grievance you so what is the opposition. one why does the opposition leader one got a self proclaimed interim president of course looking for from this conferenc. so in the idea of this conference is to add to the original pressure that he's already on their way and a notable difference that has happened recently is that -- waste like you shifted its first they're pretty even very be of the countries that at all i to initial a are shifting. their their their view and the content as well i'm are asking for a elections as ququickly as possible. dc is the one this step in that direction directional increasing international pressure. to allow any glass or two of forced nicolas maduro into elections. because with all that's going on in every that everything that's

been saddled would come from washington majuro still present is eight and if the aid is brought into venezuela on friday the twenty third as quite -- is promising future will still be the president so. this is bill go i do in a difficult position. yes so that that that's where all the problem is so we are here c confirm i iconfrontininga problem golf constitutional interpretatition away so the national assembly that everyone thought. they did not exist for the west to existing is interpreting the constitution a different way than the president is so is matter the president in as much as he's occupying the seat of the presidency and he's back by the army he is. in as much as he does not own -- the it does not fully on and the oil company h he's not so it is not b bad clelear that mododel s and a all the cards in of the venezuelan power right now so i don't think it's that clear. that maduro is understand contested is the shift that has happened in part thanks to the international pressure.

when you hit cuba? accusing the us of a fly military to the border that with the the eight is being blocked. me clearly that's if it's true it's about move it's not true it's not very helpful to cuba to make such a statement. but does that make you fear of what might happen from the venezuelan side of the border whether it's already been military drills taking place. so the question is is there -- any on us invasion of it is on the us really think no notot. thee u.. s. sheets on us planes are able to fly in mededicine to the border and that't's the eigt dot the is being done in military planess that it's completely possible scenes the u. s. as of a house -- i've and i've never me base in colombia as well so so i i thin. people don't need to exaggerate what is happening right now in minutetes well would t the situn is a humanitarian situation is already dramatic and the only thining thatt the way billl -- govevernment is trying to do iso try to bring in a medicine through the birth what water thatat he's a very big very lare and extremely poor so it is

possible to bring in medicine. it is possible to improve channel it through -- ngos in the country now whahat he's got what is happening right now is a political stand a symbolical stands between mothe. and white oaks to see who can provide the more men was met since as you say very much needed by the people of that as well that will be coming out going without. a thought to longer because food shortages throughout the country and that hyper inflation rate which is -- astronomical -- it's it's actually amazing because you got money you can't afford to buy the food is that expensive. at whether thank you much joy is about a real suffer seals po x. but as we have done that as well thank you so. po assessment and we'll keep watching for older balance out on the story of course. in venezuela. next a terror attack in cash mia is pushing tensions between india and pakistan today breaking point forty four indian soldiers were killed. when a compound with explosives was driven into the bus? a group calling themselves jaysh

whatever your what is the wise words of pericles highly centuries ago yeah but this little very much valid but it goes to show you know that you you u need. to to you know make your voice heard it's it's so central importance. and we talk about the you've been disenfranchised howowever this genentleman he's v very yog with now this profile on twiwitr and he's saying the truth is that the whole of africa will have not have another buhari in a decade what kind of lolove. these days having a look at the rally and so many people turning other actually there was a mini stampede in a way. and the rally at port harcourt stampeding to see the president i was able to believe it's not it's it's crazy and it wouldn't thousands thousands of people this of course is at the club -- because the the other candidate the main -- opposition to muhammad do -- the hari and and his slogan which is to get nigeria working again and he's actually call quite an interesting --

following mark and that's called the atiku babes it's a group of women that't's that thahat's the actutual title i'm not making tt up. it's the if they will go to vote that's the that's t the importat exactly and and that that making the point thahat he he'e' g gotu know. that with is it with his ideas of employment t. e.'s trying to get women more involved in a society. and eccentric cetera relate on this is actually quite a funny cartoon -- that you know playing on the on the play of words that you can base it's the babe that and you have a home do hari hey on the left. and i to go back on the floor and you can see that too slogans a coming out working soon again i promise at take -- to next level as well because of course not so -- on the bihari slogans taking night you i am saying you know the the the electronic probably it's a working properly done worry it's not an issue but
