situation. is. there's no

reconstruction here. we have a symmetry. here. some of the victims. bringing. warm welcome to. venezuela's president. has launched what he calls the most important military drills in the country's history and. one. president of course. as well and military is

sticking with my daughter though that's despite some fifty countries now officially recognizing. the dodo has won washington against intervening in his country. of all of us if we are a peaceful country that we do not mess with us do not threaten us donald trump get out of bed as well stop the threats and get out we must prepare to defend our sovereignty to rhetorical integrity and independence. well there was also a block to u.s. humanitarian aid to the country saying it's not needed medical professionals protested the decision near a bridge at the colombian border one of the routes blocked. has been urging the military to disobey and let it through but food and medicine shortages on hyperinflation more than two million people have fled. with humanitarian aid at the center of the standoff between unquiet. the president of the international federation of the red cross things that should never be politicized.

it is really easy lee challenging fortunately he. idea to top priorities. and. we are trying to. cross. i do moment. you money. dividing the debate which shouldn't be. the international community can do more. giving to do you money. you money. elsewhere. can we hope that.

the. next day and they will find a way to sort it out from. us here again on the. challenges case all the political crisis in venezuela is also having an effect on the u.s. state of florida being a politicized for the twenty twenty white house run for the presidency. explains how the cry. isis is poised to shape which way florida is going to vote next year. here's a quiz for you it's up to these guys with venezuelan flags to decide which of the following who the next leader in as well is going to be what's going to be done with their country's oil reserves what that as well as constitution is going to be like or how american politics are going to shape out surprise surprise d.d. may well be correct here's why. this crowd gathered in florida

novenas well they've been encouraged by the donald trump administration's full on support of the opposition and now some in the democratic camp are truly worried worried for what the crisis will do to the people wrong it's all about the vote tallies republicans are very smart about working the margins they know that a state like florida is usually decided by one percent over last so all they need are enough of the venezuelans enough of the colombians enough of the proto reconsider indeed florida's a famous swing state plus has got the highest concentration of venezuelans in america oh my forget all those republican geo political appetites yes why donald trump and his team aren't the only ones to be blamed by the dems here some capitol hill democrats have really screwed over their fellow party members by saying things like the united states needs to stay out of the nice well and lead to the nice well

and people determine their future we don't want other countries to choose our leaders so we have to stop trying to choose the years well if we are actually living in a world that spinning round the never ending donkey elephant tussle this kind of comment is a big mistake for any democrat the resentment has already been reported on here we are in the middle of a crisis while this is developing to have it turned into well the democrats benefit while the republicans benefit yeah it seems like every single issue that the country is involved in right now no matter how miniscule an unimportant to something this huge added porton has turned into a democrat republican game and it is disturbing it only makes you wonder what the very same protesters would say if someone explained them the real way their vote counts. as efforts to reach. bill the war torn iraq e city of mosul will continue since it's twenty seventeen liberation the situation

on the ground remains grim experts claim that despite the flow of funds to rebuild the city much of the money is just being pocketed by local authorities and the authorities deny these allegations the locals continue to complain about widespread corruption and we talk to some of those who have returned to most so off to liberation it's where a. picks up the story coming home should always be a joy safety security but it isn't always so not when you're coming back to mosul there are no basic services in the city no jobs it's terrible. we return to our homes a year and a half after the liberation if there is no light here there are no decent streets we suffer from power and water shortage it feels so pathetic. we are here battling all the hardships we now regret that we ever came back. it was one of the biggest deadliest battles in the world in decades in the name of freedom they turned west

mosul into this. a city of millions reduced to ash and rubble in an act they called liberation i was there two years ago i saw it tasted and smelled the city being freed that's an iraqi helicopter this is what the aftermath of a classic airstrike in mosul look like it doesn't matter way you do it all looks virtually the same crumbled buildings three airstrike craters two years and now things changed west mosul is still a wreck city of the dead not going to zero by one can even imagine how difficult it is one hospital no schools no teachers we are like the living dead we have

a cemetery over there but here it's a cemetery for the living. their spirit children orphans a clearing rubble in the absence of builders and construction crews they are what you call rescue crews the first to stumble on and dive from booby traps unexploded u.s. coalition bombs they are the first to reach the corpses under the rubble now estimated to be in the tens of thousands bodies left rotting for two years because they have. holes are everywhere there are still corpses everywhere and if anyone brings humanitarian aid to the local officials to steal it they are all corrupt. corruption has its tentacles everywhere millions of dollars intended for reconstruction apparently siphoned off stolen the u.s.

led coalition which spent millions in mosul doesn't seem to have the cash or will to rebuild it the only thing that's being rebuilt say locals the bank accounts of crooked officials there's no reconstruction here all the reconstruction efforts are just paper holes everywhere streets filled with rubble and rubbish it's misery here i swear to god there are new clean officials here well as the fight against isis militants in iraq intensified some foreign children ended up trapped in the embattled city and now are they are returning home if i to a group of russian children who spent time in a baghdad prison with their mothers have been brought back here to moscow this video from the russian emergencies ministry shows them arriving at a moscow there are twenty seven children in total aged between four and thirteen but the exact details of how they ended up in iraq are unclear but it's thought that many of them were brought there by their radicalized parents all of them now

are being resettled in the homes of relatives. in south africa violent attacks on farmers are on the rise increasing by fifteen percent over two years that's according to new information official figures indicate that over seventy percent of those murdered on farms were white and we spoke with some of the farmers who have been subjected to the times. i think when you see. them so much. in their lives if you think this is you know we are. in the show and i was. that. produced all my naked my age. my. god. in this star i'm remembering who does not. as i went down the boy on the head with this with the stick. to the sea of the shore we do you trust me

will you make you come to this place. you don't think this is you're leaving. us the whole time. and. this one. you keep saying. i'm stuck. in a little. city. on a recently published report by the africa forum research center also reveals that drills blowtorches some bleach of all being used as assault weapons against. the issue of the white majority in the farming community has long been stirring controversy efforts to redistribute land to black farmers have been lost by the government which has stressed though that it doesn't intend to begin the mass caesar of white owned farms the recent spike in attacks has put the issue on the

right of violence against farm owners has actually been happening for decades and while most of the victims are white some say the attacks are much less to do with racism and more to do with wider social problems in south africa. the nature of the attacks is disproportionate we're not among those claiming there is a wide genocide or a crime against humanity but it is each serious crisis and there are signs that it is only going to get wars we are on record as as dismissing the the what the white genocide narrative of if it does not exist. that being said. you you do get into it into issues of what of what motivates these crimes and an argument could be made that in certain instances. the richesse rictus racial rhetoric may be a contributing factor once again these are all experiences possibilities commercial farmers. that tend to be disproportionately white all the. time and you know i

think it's it's it's very important you know and he solutions you know to not to become trapped in that racial prison we are aware of and this is where we. reflect people being attacked and also i think it is it must be pointed out that the part of the whole form for matecumbe for mood for phenomenon is vulnerability of workers to pretend to be tend to be black and they've been instances where. black people are is that laws to protect. to protect what i watch people under attack and vice versa as the case. we followed increased. yellow vest movement shows no sign of relenting pressure on the french government where they thought seen through a kind of violent protests all across the country and one activist in paris had most of his hand blown off by a crowd control grenade. ruppel a video agency recorded the aftermath of a warning you may find this disturbing. never

numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. stories thanks for joining us the boss of online retail giant amazon is protesting the invasion over's privacy of the u.s. tabloid the national enquirer allegedly tried to blackmail him by threatening to leak new photos lawyers for the tabloids parent company reject jeff bezos as claims

it all comes at a time when amazon is reportedly helping to develop state level surveillance systems tough to believe perhaps but get some more details now with dawn quarter. it's blackmail for amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos who has threatened to have his nudes made public by the national enquirer but he chose to own up to it and publish the threat leaving his sympathizers to believe the whole thing was political somehow someone was trying to hit job government entity might have gotten hold of his text messages people who speculated that trump kind of aspect or to do this this was at least partially politically motivated back in two thousand and thirteen amazon signed a six hundred million dollar contract with the cia to create a secret cloud server under amazon web services it was intended to pull classified data of seventeen intelligence agencies into one location and one web service has

become an especially invasive surveillance technology the amazon recognition videotape young these powered by learning based models providing video analysis of the object in scene detection face attention activity detection and safe content face recognition post and tracking amazon recognition was launched back in twenty seventeen claiming to recognize tens of millions of faces base so says the tech can't be used to criminally violate people's privacy however this strides towards a surveillance state has sparked serious protest amazon cannot simply escape responsibility by saying this cannot be used illegally it's you and i don't know i don't think you can believe that we are under surveillance we can't even sally that surveillance civil rights groups even found that amazon wanted to use doorbell cameras as a surveillance tool for police and immigration officials the american civil

liberties union slammed to the whole system as all for a tarion. amazon is building the tools for authoritarian surveillance that advocates activists community leaders politicians and experts have repeatedly warned against even amazon's shareholders are now calling for an end to law enforcement's use of recognition perhaps spays also was just trying to make an easy buck but the writing is on the wall and many think that amazon c.e.o. is finally getting a taste of his own medicine there's a real irony in this that he's been caught sort of host on his own petard as we say being. a and his organization have a very tight link with the n.s.a. the national security agency and has been helping them with their surveillance techniques so they're intimately connected with the whole surveillance state that the u.s.
