in and i'm on the brazilian side of the border with venezuela thanks very much. a quick reminder of who in the international community is supporting president nicolas maduro and who is against him russia says any moves to remove him from power are illegal while turkey has called him a brother china is also standing behind him mexico says it recognizes the current version of venezuelan government while allies bolivia and cuba say they remain committed to the united states and canada recognize the opposition leader why don't and in south america the recent rise of the right has eroded support for dual in brazil argentina chile and colombia among others several european nations including the united kingdom spain germany and france are also backing the us president donald trump senior adviser is traveling to the middle east to promote a future peace plan for israel and palestine question that will accompany middle east envoy jason green left on a weeklong tour of israel and several arab states the u.s. delegation expected to focus.

promise it to be it's very clear that the brazilians have really put a red line down that they are notgoing to try to take the aid themselves into venezuela certainly though this does escalate tensions at a time that is already very tense in this region. rob mohamedou we were saying earlier on that president material regards this as essentially almost an attempt to coup in disguise by the u.s. how is the venezuelan government reacting to all of this of the moment as the aid gets closer to the border you know in the past several days and in fact over the course of the last few weeks we've heard president maduro echo the same type of sentiment specifically when it came to the plan that was announced by brazil to help in his whale it to try to get aid into venezuela even before the specific plans were announced we knew that president maduro was quite angry about this that he viewed this as an attempt to embarrass him as an attempt to possibly plot a coup against him that he thought this was a cheap attempt to try to get the people of venezuela to turn against him nonetheless the brazilian

all that being said though one of the things we've heard from brazilian officials here and what i'm a state which is in the north in this border region is that the influx of these venezuelans here has also sprach the very limited resources that this very poor region has so at the moment we're still hearing that there are hundreds of venezuelans crossing over every day and if that border is closed what that's going to mean for them well we just don't know at this point mariyam very much. jim. the u.s. and china reports of be close to agreeing a broad outline of a deal which could end a seven month trade war i level talks are continuing in washington to end the standoff which is seen washington and beijing and post it for tat tariffs on each other the goal is drawing up six memorandum of understanding on issues including cyber theft agriculture and currency. he has more now from washington prefers that we go she began with very rosy reports of enormous progress having been made memorandum of understanding being hashed out on the many contentious issues between the us and china with tryi

that has been closed now we should mention and remind our viewers that the brazilian venezuelan border is quite porous we spent time in pocket i'm a few days ago and it's very very easy for venezuelans to cross into brazil even if they do not use that official border crossing that all being said would they attempt that is the brazilian government in contact with opposition leader juan why doa in venezuela to try to come up with another path by which this convoy could cross into brazil once again we just don't know but i would expect that tomorrow we would start getting more answers from brazilian officials as to what exactly they expect will start happening on saturday rob mohammed thanks very much indeed one has been good luck at the venezuelan border with colombia where security forces have been trying to stop an opposition convoy heading to the front here the military has beefed up security there barricading a major border bridge near where tons of supplies have stockpiled colombia's president is standing by his promise to get the aid into venezuela allison to run ph he has more fro

security forces are still blocking access to the brazilian side of the no man's land between brazil and venezuela for the past few hours the only vehicles we've seen coming through are ambulances. then shocking news a new albeit unconfirmed death toll from three days' worth of clashes between security forces and opposition supporters in and around the venezuelan town of santa ana but. at the moment we estimate there are twenty five people dead and eighty four injured and the thing is we don't control the hospital the military controls that the people they killed they put them in an equal and took them to a military base that's why we're not sure of the exact number of dead leaving these venezuelans to wonder just how much darker the coming days maybe mohammed. and parker dima on brazil's border with venezuela well let's go now to our correspondent on the he's joining us live from bowl with the weather live. me saying is beginning so what is the plan now for the opposition on a sound as they meet with their international back as. well in the first leg ations are arriving right as you

complicated situation but all that being said the brazilian security forces that we've been speaking with in the army they've been saying that they don't expect tensions to flare up they say that they are going to respect the sovereignty of of venezuela that they are not going to take anything into venezuela that it is up to the venezuelans to come here to get the aid and then distribute it as best they can inside even as well and now whether or not more aid actually gets here at some point today we just don't know we were expecting to see several trucks that's what we've been led to believe involved is that which is the capital of this northern province of what i'm on that about two hundred kilometers to the south we've been expecting that there would be going to be some sort of convoy potentially of brazilian vehicles military vehicles bringing these boxes of aid medical supplies and food stuffs to this point on the border that has not happened as i said what we've seen so far one truck just one truck which you see behind me this white truck with venezuelan license plates as the on

but how many dems reports now from fact that i met on the brazilian side of the border a second round of clashes between venezuelan migrants and venezuelan security forces in as many days calm was eventually restored but things didn't stay quiet for long. as pro-government venezuelan demonstrators converged on their side of this border with brazil. chanting their support for president nicolas maduro insisting like he does that they need no outside aid and don't really want to say we came to sing on national anthem to show how we respect the sovereignty of all people so others also need to respect our sovereignty we're not begging for anything. a short distance down the same road new allegiances were announced as two soldiers who defected to brazil the night before declared their support for venezuelan opposition leader. and sent him into play as a venezuelan petry it's a few pain it pains me to see all the suffering people. at times the defectors were cheered even though there was little to be cheerful about but it's almost sunset and as you can see behind me brazilian security forces

officials the past forty eight hours that they were going to be more trucks possibly brazilian. being from bolivia that's a city that's about two hundred kilometers south of where we are it is the capital of northern haute i'm a state where we are we are in pocket i mean which is the city directly on the border this is the main entry point for venezuelan migrants trying to cross into brazil now if you if you look again behind me and you see these trucks several hundred feet beyond where those trucks are on the venezuelan side you have a line of security forces perhaps ten perhaps twenty that are blocking the road that is to prevent any attempt by this opposition led aid convoy coming into brazil officially through venezuela that's what complicates things here but we must remember that even though this is the official border crossing and even though the official border crossing is closed on the venezuela side and blocked well is a very vast border and so even on a day like today we're seeing still hundreds of migrants come in they go around this area around the hills through the

i'm daniel shrine there in the brazilian amazon where indigenous communities are organizing after president bush sonora suggested they no longer have a place in modern society. hello again to welcome back we're here cross the northern part of australia we're totally talking about the northern territory and queensland we're talking about a lot of rain that's been happening over the last couple of days and in townsville we're talking about a disaster being declared because of the very heavy rain that they have seen unfortunately over the next few days as you can see here in the forecast map the rain is going to continue across much of that area there of low pressure that is turning is really not moving too much so that means more rain is going to fall in the same locations from friday as well as into saturday took over the forecast map there will be seeing some flooding going on across much of that area down towards the south though the temperatures are on their way back melbourne thirty three degrees few adelaide at thirty seven and over here towards city well it's going to be a nice day at

who feel like they will be less safe with this law that is from a video comment we got probably a brazilian who's out of the country now his name is thomas to play to some data and this is a community he says we should be worried about have a listen i think that the implications of certain policies or on gun ownership of brazil would be terrible to people if you look at brazil we're already looking at a country that is twenty seven four hundred forty five dollars to do pilates and that represents a thirty percent decrease from twenty six so that means that one else particular person is killed every ninety hours. so if you combine that with having a probably a little bit president like say people so we can see tragic consequences in the plea cases that we're different. so if you're really committed to ending those crimes is that we should be excluding a very clear and accessible as particular policies and regulations protections that you know just system so mia this is just one community who has cause for concern they say what are other communities talking to you about. why not women l g b t

well barbara if you see behind me there is a line of brazilian security forces what happened is a few hours ago there was a second round of clashes taking place in the no man's land between brazil and venezuela venezuelan migrants as well as venezuelan security forces hurling rocks at each other at one point there was more tear gas that was hurled towards those men as well and migrants shortly after all that started happening the brazilian security forces moved quickly to try to deescalate things so what they did is they pushed everybody back from their side of the border from their side of this no man's land area of the border as you will and then things got substantially calmer things did pick up a bit in the last hour because there was a group of about two hundred is our best estimate. venezuelan government demonstrators who marched in from venezuela into this no man's land area i don't know if you can see the flags that are waving behind us there is a brazilian flag and it is wailing flag the venezuelan flag had been taken down yesterday by venezuelan migrants as a sign of defianc

yeah well today it's been a big day at the bell and we just had the premier of brazilian film we were gala and the interesting thing for us here on the right target was there was a protest a large group of fans gathered along here and started chanting in support of the brazilian the former president president lula who is now of course imprisoned and the interesting thing about it was the director and the actors of the film gathered around them and started chanting in support of this film you have to understand it is a sort of tricky political film right now in brazil it's about a former brazilian political figure who is a very divisive name carlos marie gallo who was around in the sixty's and was against the militant military dictatorship and this film actually doesn't even have distribution in brazil right now that's how testy it is so this protest that we saw on the red carpet was very apropos of the political statement that the movie is trying to make and of what often happens here in berlin where the where international filmmakers come here to make a major political statement so t
