The borders are closed the International Community are not allowing anyone to go they dont want any more veggies they are not taking any serious serious actions to stop attacks on civilians and they are not taking on a series of actions to protect the facilities and hills facilities that they should treat those victims given what youve just said what is it that keeps the medical teams working in these areas when theyre in such great danger. Actually what other option that they can do like one who will treat their families their relatives there are people what they can do what the what the other option that they have but to escape from place to place with their instruments with their devices with their legs surgical tools to operate and to the people now i understand that you have a hospital in Adelaide City and there are construction workers who are working there at the moment what are they telling you about the circumstances that they are in at the moment yes it is a mutual project with the civilian Health Department over there and unfortunately today.

Secretary of state Rex Tillerson is in argentina seeking support for tough action against venezuela but blames venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro for economic and political crises that have led to violent protests and shortages of food in that sense and the reports were going to set is. Washington regards latin america as its backyard thats why secretary of state Rex Tillerson is here with the u. S. Believes it should have an influence but its a region that often feels neglected by raising conflict with the superpower to the north. A few years ago argentina like many of its neighbors was governed by left of Center Leaders of dollars with washington and sympathetic to venice whalers then president chavez not anymore who wants an end of the crisis in venezuela the question is how one of the aspects of considering sanctioning all is what effect will it have on of it as well and people. It is is it a step that might bring this to an end to a more rapid and a more rapid close because not doing anything to bring this to you is also asking the venezuelan people to suffer for a much longer time the venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro blames the United States and its allies for trying to undermine his socialist government and then another model was that they have inherited the arrogance the imperial arrogance of believing that with a button and a plan in english the bolivarian revolution is finished with a declaration from the head of the empire calling me a dictator its over the dictatorship has already fallen as they call it with a statement by secretary of state to tell us and we are going to surrender they do not know us they do not know our strength. President. Is now one of those in the region most critical of the venice whale and government mr tillerson wants to work with. All of us in the region want to see really want to return to his constitution we just this is heart wrenching to watch what is happening to the people but this way there is suffering food and medicine shortages inflation is rampant crime is rising and thousands cross the borders every day in search of provisions for a better life mr tillotson visit to lodge and thena is to show that washington cares about latin america but the regions long term interests lie with the United States and not with china or russia he praise the arjun tying governments austerity driven investor friendly economic model much like that of the Current Us Administration that its not something you would have a few years ago the secretary of state is emphasizing with the two countries can cooperate trade defense fighting terrorism and Drug Trafficking not so much on immigration theyll be similar bridge building when he moves on to peru and colombia. One of cyrus antone a moron is a lot in america analyst and a journalist with the online publication news and news dot com he says tell us and is trying to intimidate material into changing his behavior. The issue with all those who oppose the but as all indicator seven the human rights abuses and everything thats going on with events on the government is that still it has taken this long to get engaged in the venezuela crisis we had an opportunity last year when the organization of american states tried to deal with event as well if you convening a couple of meetings of Foreign Ministers and sellers and didnt go even though one of them was in washington d. C. So i think now my guess is that what hes trying to do is is put the fear of god in monroe by raising the possibility of a military coup sort of reaching out in this way to the benefit on military because the reality is unless the Venezuelan Military does turn against matter there is little chance that things are going to change in but as well is because people have suffered so much are struggling so much survive on a daily basis that the chance of any kind of real revolution seems very small but latin american countries like argentina certainly favor some change in that as well. In the u. S. Is the fallout over a controversial memo claiming the f. B. I. Abused its power by spying on a trump aide continues washington is waiting to see if the democrats will respond with a rival memo on monday the competing documents were written by republicans and democrats on the House Intelligence Committee the republicans made there is public on friday after the u. S. President declassified it donald trump seized on the documents saying its totally vindicates him in the probe into alleged ties between his campaign and russia but the f. B. I. Says it has grave concerns the documents contains with it calls material admissions of fact the democrats could vote on monday to release their own memo the bodies of the senates leader Chuck Schumer has urged trump to back its public release saying that refusing to do so would show the president s intent to undermine the russia investigation. Well both parties have used sunday talk shows to debate the relevance of the republican members release. You still have a Russian Investigation even without it so. I dont know how many of the republican field. Am on record as saying i support bob muller one hundred percent i think you would have a russia and russia trying to interfere with our election in twenty sixteen with or without a dossier sources are going to dry up because of what the republicans on this committee are doing now theres a compact between our committee and the Intelligence Community you give us your deepest held secrets we will hold them in good confidence we wont abuse them. Theyre going to share a lot less with us now and other sources of nation are going to decide not to share with the f. B. I. Because they cant rely on our committee not to be partisan in the handling of that information and thats a deep disservice which ultimately makes the country less safe under gallacher is following developments from washington d. C. Well the key date to watch sure is monday evening when the democrats vote whether they will release their own Ten Page Memo of course the democrats released a four page memo on friday which is proved to be very controversial it will then go to the president who has five days to approve it or not approve it one of the key issues for the democrats is they fear that it will be censored it will be made useless by the president and theyre also extremely concerned about that original memo from the republicans they say they handpicked certain information to undermine the Robert Mueller investigation and theyre worried the president will use it all as a pretext to fire special counsel Robert Mueller which they say will lead to a constitutional crisis of course the president himself has been tweeting out on saturday morning that this whole thing is a witch hunt and a hoax of course it isnt thats not true the investigation will carry on at full steam and hes been seriously advised not to fire special counsel Robert Mueller which has been widely reported he wanted to do back in the summer so whats to watch for in the next few hours is that vote among the democrats to see whether that Ten Page Memo will be released and whether President Trump ultimately will allow that to happen. Thank you more ahead on the news hour including more than four months after the election germanys Political Parties are still struggling to form a government.

Tens of thousands of greeks have rallied in the capital athens argin the government not to compromise in a long running name with neighboring macedonia greece has blocked the former yugoslav republic from joining nato and the e. U. And says the name implies a claim over the greek province also called macedonia John Psaropoulos reports from athens. The message was clear macedonians are greeks and no one other than the greeks should be allowed to use the name macedonia greeks refer to the neighborhood by the name of its capital city skopje their opinion is important because they hailed the power of veto over its entry to nato and the European Union he might give the union to me again as anyone macedonian its greek greek people will not accept the fact of our name we determine to show that we went out to history under the terms that can be no european prospects copia this was greeces official position until about a decade ago it has since accepted the use of the composites names such as mills and also love macedonia and a new government in scope is willing to die you to the countries constitutional name republic of macedonia so the basis for a compromise in theory exists the question is can the two societies accept it the greeks have been through an eight Year Economic depression they have lost one hundred three National Finances and budgets vacuum alienation has been compounded by the fact that many european. If you have denied even that ancient provenance they have now said with one voice that their identity and history are not up for negotiation most greeks agree that the use of the name by known greeks implies a fictitious ethnicity and the first as part of their own ancient history but would like to the only person in. This know message are any a nation alexander the great was educated doing great by aristotle whenever he won a battle he put up a monument saying this big tree was won by all the greats he didnt differentiate between methadone and sing greats a generation of kids in skopje has grown up with this myth but thats their problem some observers say inflated expectations are a greek problem as well and many people in greece felt that at some point there would be some kind of ideal solution without the the word macedonia and everything would be solved that way and the fact that diplomacy means eventually some painful decisions. In the methods that message was not asked through Greek Society by our elites the government in athens is to send its proposals to scope here in the next two weeks the crowds here warn against diplomacy without the people jump several plus aljazeera athens im going to say as a lecturer in european politics at Kings College in london he says the dispute is down to ownership of national identity. I think there are two parameters two mentions one diplomatic and geopolitical one which says that a lot of greece see it is a matter of National Interest to have a strong position on the socalled macedonian name issue on the other hand of course its of issue of a motional Popular National identity so a lot of people consider the ancient legacy of the ancients donia is part of greek identity and part of the greek narrative of continuous greek nationalism so its a matter both of geopolitical disagreement the question of National Interest and the question a very emotional. National identity when the two gets together its actually very difficult to conduct diplomacy isolated from the sentiment on the street the president of cyprus has won a Runoff Election with fifty percent percent of the vote because the others comfortably beat his challenger stuff at a small us is votes to improve the economy and push ahead with the reunification attempts in the island a un administered Demilitarized Zone running through the capital nicosia has divided turkish controlled north and greek dominated south cyprus since nine hundred seventy four. Talks about forming a government in germany are expected to continue into monday chancellor Angela Merkels conservatives are in negotiations with the opposition social democrats radicals been unable to form a Coalition Since an election in september when both the main parties lost seats to the far right but the two sides remain optimistic about a deal. I talked as a consequence constructive talks today we have reached a lot of agreements we managed to reach consensus in the important issues of habitation and renting we managed to finish the issue of digitalisation and we could reach an agreement on art and culture but weve just joined in the high level meeting that there are issues ahead of us with a party still definite about which we still have to talk which we want to debate thoroughly and with focus obviously as paul brennan has more from berlin. Given the differences between these two sides censor rights michael c. D. U. And center left martin shields this p. D. S. Perhaps not surprising that theyre finding it quite difficult to tie down the final details of this Coalition Treaty it looks like theyve agreed things like energy and Agriculture Policy in the matter of labor Reform Health policy and housing policy theres still some distance apart from each other and we heard it when the two leaders went in that they sounded sort of they were making the right noises but preparing people for a long night ahead no surprises realistically there and the reason really is because the s. P. D. The center left needs to have a deal on the table that they can actually sell to their membership because its the membership of the s. P. D. Who will have effectively a veto on this if they come out with an agreement that cant be sold to the center left voters and frankly its dead in the water i could audience have voted to stop their president s holding more than two terms in office sixty four percent of the nations voters supported changing the constitution the move was backed by ecuadors current president lenin moreno his predecessor Rafael Correa lifted the restrictions in twenty fifteen and was eyeing a comeback in twenty twenty one but the vote means hell no longer be able to run for the top job. China is accusing the u. S. Of having a cold war mentality in response to washingtons plans to diversify its Nuclear Weapons policy the pentagon says its Current Nuclear bombs are too big and wants to develop smaller Nuclear Weapons the u. S. Says the Nuclear Weapons revamp is largely in response to russian russian actions in recent years. Tangan is a political analyst and an advisor to the Chinese Government and hes joining us now via skype from beijing thank you very much indeed for your time sir is this response by china in what in some way unexpected. Not all of whats not expected is that us start off thats not the nuclear arms war i mean it already has three russia United States ninety three percent worlds Nuclear Weapons there are seventy thousand back in the cold war days theres fifteen thousand oxman a question is why ours is possible to promote eats you out smaller evil Nuclear Weapon its the likelihood of the them being used increases not he creates based on they assess meant that they are analysts the military on us in the us of may there the pentagon has decided that it wants to make this change and china says that these are wild guesses on the part of the analysts but of course these analysts have been following the Chinese Military over the years so is it really reasonable to assume that these are wild guesses on which this policy changes based so china says that they the u. S. Is misreading their military build up which is more conventional in nature especially because as a expand what else wrote initiative in each project their ability to safeguard the sea and land routes that they are putting in place so thats their stock end of story u. S. Is saying its obligation remember not only saying that its china its also u. S. Problem right at this moment is that the u. S. Is fighting everybody at the same time both in terms now after china europe in terms of strategy and Nuclear Ambitions china russia and iran north korea its not clear how long. This kind of battle on all fronts. Do you think that china and the other countries such as iran and russia for example which have been mentioned by the pentagon are likely to change their profiles of their own military their own Nuclear Stockpiles and weaponry in response to this action by the us absolutely i mean there are as i said theres this is the start of another Nuclear Arms Race as i said you know we know the tensions that exist between iran north korea and United States and also china and russia matter the idea that you can you have a battlefield Nuclear Weapon is very attractive generals want to win battles but theyre not going to win a war you have massive new parents what the world many hundred times over with the existing stockpile so the danger here is that somebody thinks that they can start aid limited their war against an object for instance iran and that somehow this will not. Go into a fully leveraged Nuclear Catastrophe we appreciate your time so thank you ivan i know tongan a political analyst and an advisor to the Chinese Government thank you so much.

Ok more now on our top story in the suspected closing attacks in syria as a province alyea i spoke to sitting Affairs AnalystAndrew Tabler hes from the Washington Institute for near east policy and i began asking him whether the latest suspected clothing attack was related to saturdays shooting down of a russian fighter jet be hard to say i dont think that you know details are still still sketchy it is part of the general escalation of that area but it will take some time to try and sort that out the u. S. Has said that the world needs to try to find a way of stopping these attacks can that be done. Certainly or could be done to punish that regime for the use of chemical weapons stopping them would require stopping all air strikes or artillery strikes the acid regime thats in that unlikely do you think russia is going to feel pressured to stop these attacks by the acid regime i think they feel some pressure but chlorine is not among the banned substances. Syrias not allowed to use chlorine as a weapon of course is a signatory to the chemical weapons convention. But russia is i think very concerned about u. S. Accusations of the use of cera inside syria which is substance they should no longer have three opposition factions in syria say they were behind the downing of the russian fighter jet. This is video from the army its one of the groups say they took down the fighter jet Russias Defense Ministry says the pilot ejected but was killed in a fight on the ground the Syrian Government backed by russian airpower launched a campaign to push out the rebels from in december.
