us is one hundred percent behind eric only taking part in a meeting of the regional lima group bloc aiming to discuss humanitarian shipments to venezuela and how to resolve the situation u.s. secretary of state said washington will come to the aid of those wanting to oust president maduro by any means necessary bridger was the wonder standard that the venezuelan people have made it's days numbered continue to build up a global coalition to put to put force behind the voice which said every options on the table we're going to do the things that need to be done. all the turmoil in venezuela has been heightened by the debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country trucks of supplies or massed on the borders with colombia brazil and this is led to clashes at checkpoints between opposition supporters and those who are loyal to madeira the president fears that the lorries could be carrying weaponry at least four people have died with hundreds injured.
12:03 pm
i. recent photographs of an aid truck which had been torched led to a wave of accusations against forces loyal to maturer pictures which emerged later of anti moderate forces trying to save the aid from the fire have been used against the police however other videos suggest they firebomb from the opposition forces may have hit the truck.
12:04 pm
as the violence intensifies and the u.s. ramps up it's on to madeira rhetoric there are concerns a direct intervention in venezuela is now on the cards and exists through the story . while eight is usually the case who alleviating suffering this weekend's events may be doing the exact opposite the determination to get washington's aid across the border in the face of president has refused or was it turns out the catalyst to push the delicate situation in venezuela into bloody clashes tons of us aid had piled up at the venezuela border in what madeira had called a u.s. orchestrated show designed to induce international condemnation from the dozens of nations siding with opposition leader. concerns that the aid deliveries could

contain weapons were not completely unfounded given previous u.s. and devers bolivian president. evo morales concurred calling the cargo a trojan horse to provoke war so just how quaint those thought things unfolding when he issued an ultimatum is unclear rallying his supporters on mass to bring the u.s. trucks across the border is undoubtedly a for carious position to put people in especially when the military remains loyal to the president naturally it was noted in this. with the outlook for me looking increasingly bleak attention has now turned to those who continue to support him the venezuelan military are being urged to abandon their loyalties then choose the side of washington. venezuela's military has a choice embrace democracy protect civilians and allow in humanitarian aid also more

sanctions in isolation round of applause from the new commander in chief or anyone choosing to be on the right side of history because causing unnecessary pain and suffering is nowhere near as nor the ating as the sight of us trucks going up in flames it seems we denounce my refusal to let humanitarian assistance reach venezuela what kind of a sick tyrant stops food from getting to hungry people the images of burning trucks filled with sickening misgivings and finger pointing over who might be to blame for the burning trucks was quickly picked up on by venezuela's foreign minister who issued a stark reminder of his u.s. counterparts past as head of the cia secretary powell a specialist in false flag operations believes he fools the world with a truck burned in colombia by his own agents with tensions in venezuela wrangling
12:07 pm
for months quite as deadline was an opportunity to vent the result was all out chaos and confusion even forcing the red cross to call on unknown members of the crowd to stop wearing their insignia. we've learned that there are some people not affiliated with the red cross colombia and red cross venezuela wearing red cross emblems at colombia venezuela and brazil venezuela border we urge them to stop doing this they might mean well but they risk jeopardizing our neutrality impartiality and independence as the situation intensified on the border president maduro called on his the porters to a mass on the streets of caracas where he vowed to defend but as wayland and to alleviate him on the border while cutting all political and diplomatic ties with its neighbor to halt the border chaos. can continue supporting aggression from colombian territory so i've decided to cut political and diplomatic ties with the fascist colombian government and ambassadors must leave in twenty four hours what

next peace talks a truce not one go i don't know is calling on his vast international support system to up the ante all options are on the table a military conflict is increasingly becoming a real possibility for an as well is a country hanging by a thread a thread so perilously delicate it could snap at any moment and when it does the outcome will be war no matter whether those u.s. trucks contained aid weapons or whatever else there's a little doubt that this special delivery from america has been instrumental tipping point for a country in crisis and it's not just the aid campaign that's putting pressure on to the venezuelan leader u.s. senator marco rubio has tweeted images of the late libyan leader moammar gadhafi is he was about to be brutally murdered tweets not caption with president favored theme for rubio's recent messages many are interpreted it as
12:09 pm
a warning to madeira. because nothing says human rights like gloating over a human being getting sodomized to death with a bye and that marco rubio just posted photos of gadhafi being lynched in an open death threat to madeira libya is now a slave state thanks to us you mark or you had the reach to peace of who should immediately resign marco rubio's feet has become like a manic paranoid regime change demanding boss account would probably be investigated for suspicious activity by the twitter authorities if he was not a u.s. senator but reaction to the post has not been limited to twitter the bonus now a petition demanding the senator's resignation with accusations rubio is promoting violence against the head of state political analyst chris bambery believes the tweet is part of a larger u.s. propaganda plan. well i think it's all part of a strategy of tension as the americans are building up what the americans are trying to do is put pressure on the military in venezuela to shift to the doura
12:10 pm
so far that hasn't happened the weakness of the duras position is is that unlike his predecessor hugo chavez face of the coup twenty years ago which as you call a mass movement that was brutal insurrection in crack it's received to save them. no material is almost entirely on the army and the reason that kind of thus far we haven't seen this kind of mass movement coming to his aid so the thousand of thousand one dollar question is is what attitude of the venezuelan militant guilty is he going to continue in support would do and if that's the case the potential for civil war personally i'm cynical about the americans intervening directly because i believe the stomach for it in the united states of america pushed the right course to libya and also the say to american troops in any white american country brings back memories of america's record on that continent.

u.s. and north korean leaders. are meeting in vietnam this week commenting on the upcoming summit russia's foreign minister expressed cautious optimism thinking hope for a breakthrough regarding denuclearization circular also warned of tomatoes would not work. someone actually we are certain that u.s. ultimatums will lead nowhere what the u.s. demands that north korea completely eliminate everything related to nuclear weapons and only then would it discuss lifting sanctions. but this would be trump and kim second the summit last summer they met in singapore in a recent tweet of course donald trump promised economic prosperity to north korea if pyongyang abandoned its nuclear program and added kim will make a wise decision jumps also insisted that he would not lift sanctions if young young doesn't denuclearize. reports from vietnam. perhaps it's still a bit too early to see a trump kim get together in washington or pyongyang so once again the organizers
12:12 pm
opted for somewhere neutral. just by looking at the flag of communist vietnam it's immediately clear why chairman kim would certainly feel at home here. as we know the americans have their own special connection to this country but the leaders got installed with the vietnamese authorities before they even arrived or rather their almost famous look alike. anyway with the hot i wrote spinning spruced up for the big event the real kim has already hit the road he chose to get to vietnam by
12:13 pm
a train and his people looked thrilled to see him no wonder kim has given himself a nice long head start crossing all of china takes time when the leaders met for the first time just saying this. was enough to make the summit a real bombshell but no written or signed agreements came out of it how's that for a preemptive social media trick to break the stalemate chairman kim realizes perhaps better than anyone else that without nuclear weapons his country could fast become one of the greatest economic power was anywhere in the world because of its location and people and him it has more potential for rapid growth than any other nation making the second summit work is a matter of pristine for donald trump but will it work the mega man might have to. give something up to could that mean less pentagon involvement in south korea mr
12:14 pm
kim knows how to play on samuel the guy trumps emotions too it's just been revealed he once said this to america's top diplomat mike compare i'm a father and husband and i have children and i don't want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on their back their whole life this week it's time for donald trump and kim john to do a bit more than just pose for the cameras or send each other romantic letters i've received two letters from chairman my first correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible and it's time to agree on and cement something real which makes the vietnam chapter of the camp trump relationship even more unpredictable than when they first. over the look alike that ilya mentioned earlier in his report has since been deported from vietnam the impersonator said that hanoi didn't have a sense of humor although trump stoppel going on not quite so good i don't think
12:15 pm
has been allowed to stay it's not only officials who are busy preparing for the summit a bar in hanoi is a new cocktail featuring a mix of american and korean spirits and it's said to represent the fiery characters of the two leaders there in the drink is called rocket man apparently that's a play on one of the insoles trump directed that came not too long ago while the barber shop is offering haircuts mimicking those of trump and came jungle services being provided free of charge as quote a way to promote peace in a more serious note we spoke with erickson rock in the founder of lawyers for demilitarization and peace in korea he told us the choice of host country for the talks is telling. why i think it's really interesting that they're meeting in vietnam a country that we killed millions of people and had a horrific war after the coup. in war and a country in which we have formal diplomatic relations now
12:16 pm
a lot of trade and that the u.s. president is comfortable going there for a summit vietnam i think was something very perhaps symbolic to the koreans it would provide a certain level to kim jong il to travel there to fuel more comfortable there it's an odd choice if we're not going to make a deal because i mean it took hundreds of meetings to have a deal in the end the vietnam war and people met and they met and they met again in paris over and over and over again until the paris accords finally ended that war but you know so it is an example of a long. durance race that we're facing that vietnam represents or is it really the idea that you can have economic success and be able to make peace with people who've been at least for so long it's a very powerful symbol as mounting opposition from locals over plans to relocate
12:17 pm

without palestinian i was there when the borders of sixty seven was your was about as it's covered or we are going to be slipping i underline the snipping and go one step below i underline reality which means that we will be living living in it before one is did so if you wish and therefore dislike it will find itself neither jewish as they claim nor your welcome because their clear. welcome back the people of arkansas in a referendum have rejected moving a us military base from one part of the japanese island to another it's one of thirty two american sites on the island construction work at the planned new location for the base in question has actually already begun and despite the referendum results prime minister shinzo looks set to push ahead with the make. we
12:19 pm
cannot avoid the necessity of moving food ten mom said to be the most dangerous place in the world we cannot put this off any longer. well the basic question is in the city of good no one and surrounded by schools hospitals and shops under a deal with the united states is being moved to a less populated part of okinawa in the north called her local residents they're not happy they say the old should simply be shut down and not replaced. your i've heard that this referendum has no legal basis but there are many people protesting in every day i hope this referendum will be a show of support to. the reclamation has already begun the japanese government is pushing through that construction by force so i'm against the construction of a new base because the base is manned for war so that's why i'm against the. u.s. service personnel stationed in japan were reportedly involved in almost ten thousand crimes and accidents in
12:20 pm
a decade up to twenty thirteen around half of the incidents were on our can our one of the most notorious cases occurred in one thousand nine hundred ninety five when three u.s. sailors kidnapped and raped a twelve year old girl. we spoke to catherine jane fisher rights activist who says that she herself was raped in two thousand and two near a u.s. base near tokyo. most of the american bases are situated on no island seventy percent of the bases are on okinawa and the island is so small so you can imagine we have a lot of united states military servicemen there when they drink too much of a hole or if they commit crimes they can easily escape justice as in my case you know the man who raped me i had to look for him myself in ten years because the japanese government and the american military will not help so the more bases that are going to be in okinawa we need to work out ways that they can very kate these
12:21 pm
crimes so it's now time for the voices to be heard about how they do not want any more rapes in crimes you know murders against their people we have had to seven over seventy years seven decades of these crimes happening and what is being done to stop that you know we just had another woman who was murdered you know over a year or so ago doesn't matter where they're going to put the base there's always going to be some kind of crime that they will need to tackle and how are they going to do when someone else is murdered when someone else is killed. top officials have suggested delaying briggs's warning that britain's prime minister may not be able to keep her pledge to get a deal over the line by the end of march or the trees amaze it burn running those rocks unproductive the leaders have conversed i need to discuss some pressing issues including briggs's police boy who explains. all this is being discussed at
12:22 pm
a european arab league summit in egypt where a lot of european leaders have turned up it's been a pretty jam packed schedule of meetings and beaches some big name politicians taking to the stage for example the european commission president claude young take a listen to what happened when he was on stage. on. my word. happens to everyone outside of the official agenda we got to see politicians relaxing in a rather more informal atmosphere we got some pictures courtesy of the italian leader of reason may trying to play a bit of pool which i have to say is almost as good as don saying inability to play pool is the least of the u.k.
12:23 pm
leaders problems right now anyway it's a reason may goes questions about briggs it follow this egyptian summit was no exception to reason they gave a press conference there where she managed not to say anything new at all which is really classic to reason may now she simply reiterated that she hasn't managed to secure any changes to the e.u. withdrawal deal just yet despite the fact that brags it is thirty two days away she's rubbish the increasingly popular idea of delaying bragg's it any delay is a delay it doesn't address the issue it doesn't resolve the issue it's within our grasp to leave with a deal on the twenty ninth of march that's where all of my and the jews are going to be focused well there she is sticking to her guns saying you've really got to vote for my deal but that's not what many politicians here in the u.k. including now some of the. very own cabinet ministers seem to think they're
12:24 pm
breaking their silence some of them saying that a delay is really the best step to take now in order to avoid crashing out of the club and it also happens to be an idea that donald turse could the e.u. council president is also reluctantly in favor of prime minister. discussed if the a lot of issues. the legal and procedural context of a potential extension will face an alternative. bridgette. i believe that the situation in the extension of russian a solution so london and brussels still on very different pages in their assessment of how this will play out the dutch prime minister mark rutte he was even more blunt in his assessment he went further and warned that the u.k. could be sleepwalking its way to
12:25 pm
a chaotic no deal scenario of course the hardline euro skeptics here will say that all that hard talk from the europeans is just negotiating bluster and tactics but others will say that if this is all a game of brinkmanship between london and brussels well it's a pretty dangerous one because brags it day is just thirty two days away on the twenty ninth of march it's fast approaching. the popular t.v. streaming service netflix is under fire for having a russian made t.v. series which some of the juice mostly propaganda. a little over a minute i'm a little bit about the top job or should i be here look up what you. live. precious aphoristic influenza twenty
