Largest city, valencia. The uprising comes two days after venezuelas controversial and internationally condemned new assembly was inaugurated. A group of men in Military Uniform who led the uprising released this video online in it they say they wanted to restore democracy in the country. Hundreds of Anti Government protesters also took to the streets of valencia supporting the uprising. They were met with rounds of tear gas when they tried to barricade the streets. Then, hours later, in a televised address and surrounded by his supporters maduro congratulated his armed services. Ive been speaking with Michael Shifter from the Inter American dialogue think tank, to hear what he makes of this alleged Terror Attack in valencia. Certainly sounds plausible. We know there is enormous discontent in the country with the maduro government. That is also reflected in the armed forces. It doesnt mean the armed forces. It doesnt mean the armed forces are about to switch or there is going to be a coup, it is very ha rd to is going to be a coup, it is very hard to know what this really represents, but the fact that this discontent, and there are some uprisings and rebellions, i think is not surprising given the situation in the country. How great is president and europes support in the military president maduros support . He has 2096 the military president maduros support . He has 20 support. The military president maduros support . He has 2096 support. Senior officials have stuck with him. Many officials have stuck with him. Many of them are part of this system which was created by hugo chavez backin which was created by hugo chavez back in 1999. They are committed to it. They obeyed the president of the country and there is also an enormous amount of corruption. Many are involved in drug trafficking, so they have vested interests in this government and it will be difficult for them to give up power. If they do so they will be concerned about prosecution so they tighten their grip. Another development is the Chief Prosecutor has been removed from office. Do you think this is a sign of Things To Come . from office. Do you think this is a sign of Things To Come . I think it is part of a pattern we have seen already in venezuela, and it is getting worse. It is intensifying. Any Potential Defiance or dissent to the maduro government is going to be quashed. The National Assembly itself which was elected in 2015, and dominated by the opposition, has been essentially neutered, and with this new assembly that has been created this week, there is a very good chance that that legitimate aquatic assembly will be dissolved. The Attorney General had been critical of the maduro government and it is not surprising that she has been dismissed by this new Constituent Assembly which is unconstitutional. Michael shifter. Chinas foreign minister, has urged north korea, to end Ballistic Missile tests, that have raised tensions across east asia. Wang yi says pyongyang has to make smart decisions. New sanctions, agreed at the un, and supported by the trump administration, could cost pyongyang more than 1 Billion Dollars a year. Yogita limaye reports from the south korean capital, seoul. Putting on a united front in manila. Rex tillerson is on a mission. America wants more countries to isolate north korea, a day after all members of the Security Council voted to ban exports from pyongyang. The sweeping measures were even backed by china, north koreas ally and top trade partner. Translation the chinese side urged the north koreans to calmly handle the un Security Council resolutions and not do anything unbeneficial such as a Missile Launch or a nuclear test. At this meeting, the two leaders described the sanctions as a good outcome. Testing missiles like this one is what prompted the sanctions. For north korea the new sanctions could mean a loss of about 1 billion. But experts say it is unlikely to deter the state. The north koreans are unlikely to negotiate anything until they will have a proven capability to deliver a Nuclear Strike to the continental united states. Once they get such a capability, probably in a few years, they are probably going to talk. Here in seoul the president s office has welcomed the Un Resolution but the response in north korea has been expectedly belligerent. A Newspaper Run by the countrys ruling party said the us would be catapulted into a sea of fire if it did not change its hostile policy towards pyongyang. In manila, the us Secretary Of State commemorated those who died in world war ii, and with his meetings there he hopes to contain the threat from north korea. It is making america nervous, but there seems to be no immediate solution. Yogita limaye, bbc news, seoul. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. Officials in afghanistan say insurgent have attacked a village in the Northern Province of sar e pul, killing as many as 50 people. The office of the provincial governor says the fighters initially attacked a local police checkpoint, before entering the village and shooting dead civilians. They were mostly members of the mainly shia hazara community. The taliban said theyd killed 28 local militia but denied responsibility for any civilian deaths. The Qatari News Network Aljazeera is to be barred from israel. Israeli communications minister, ayoub kara, says hell revoke its press credentials, Close Itsjerusalem Bureau and stop broadcasts in israel. Hes accusing aljazeera of supporting terrorism and inciting violence against israel. A government backed investigation in myanmar has rejected allegations that its military committed atrocities during a crackdown on Rohingya Muslims last year. It accused the United Nations of making exaggerated claims. The un had argued that violence in Rakhine State likely included crimes against humanity. Lets take a closer look at claims and Counter Claims surrounding the fighting. For more on this i spoke to myint swe from the bbcs burmese service. He explained the findings of the governments report. Today the government commission, which has enquired into this problem, Theyjust Have A Total refusal of what the un has found out. Last february, the un said to us, they could be Ethnic Cleansing and crimes against humanity, so they said there is no evidence to support that, so they refused totally, and most of the reports are biased and unfounded. They said they are mostly fabricated and exaggerated. In the face of everything the United Nations has said and other outside groups have said, what the commission is saying is going to lack credibility, isnt it . In fact, they said they went to three camps of rohingya in bangladesh and went to 20 villages, but there is also the question, how independent and free the villagers can keep theirfindings, because they are surrounded maybe by some authorities, so in effect, they did go and research the camps, but there are also questions of how independent that enquiry is. This complete refusal to accept the uns findings, what is it going to do for myanmars international reputation, and that of Aung San Suu Kyi . In fact, they have always said that there are three other commissions, led by others, and we have this, kofi annan is on the advisory board, and there is also the National Human Rights Commission inside the country. So based on theirfindings and conclusions, they will, sort of, open the door for any complaints, if there is enough evidence to charge and take action, whether that be Security Members or authorities. So they said theres no way to give pressure from the un or other International Organisations to send a fact finding mission, so theres a big row going on. Now, how often do you tell your children to get off their phones and tablets . Well, officials here in britain are saying that parents should limit the amount of time their children spend online, comparing it to eating junk food. The childrens commissioner says that the internet can be addictive, and overuse can have a detrimental effect on childrens confidence and wellbeing. Tom burridge has the story. Kids and screens. Its a constant battle. This seven year old is obsessed by his dads phone. I like playing video games on it. A bunch of crazy ones. You play a lot, dont forget. I do. Do you fight sometimes about that . No. On average children now spend 15 hours a week online. Parents, says the childrens commissioner for england, should impose a limit. We wouldnt let our children out in a strange city without giving them guidance and looking after them. And actually we shouldnt for their Digital World either. So this is about equipping children, enabling them to have the confidence to manage their time online. And also their confidence to say no to the constant drain and pressure of always being there. She is urging parents to follow fiona and be proactive. Im always looking in, going through history, things like that. Just to double check what they are looking at. Because they could open something that they shouldnt be looking at. You just dont know. Theres too much out there, really. New guidelines, published online, of course, compare junk food with time on the internet. The advice is simple, just as your children shouldnt eat a Cheese Burger and chips every day, they shouldnt binge on their phones and computers. The obvious antidote, keeping kids active, but the childrens commissioner is calling for a healthy balance. The internet is vital for learning. It is a tricky balance, i think, but you do need to encourage that theyve got to get some fresh air, theyve got to get some exercise. No ipad at dinner time and no phones during times when we are sitting together as families means we talk a lot more and i get to know a lot more about what happens in their school. Kids only know a world with smartphones and the internet, so time off line is vital. Tom burridge, bbc news. Well, Sonia Livingstone is a professor of Social Psychology at the London School of economics and also serves on the Executive Board on the uk council for child also serves on the Executive Board on the uk councilfor child internet safety. She joins on the uk councilfor child internet safety. Shejoins me now via webcam. So internet use is likejunk safety. Shejoins me now via webcam. So internet use is like junk food. Is that a good comparison . Yes and no. I think perhaps what the childrens commissioner really wants us to think about is the balance of our childrens diet, rather than to say all internet use is junk food, because obviously the internet offers lots of positives as well as some risks of problematic use. I think it is about saying think about the mix of the activities your children engage in rather than saying too much internet is automatically bad. You say overuse. I wonder if you would put a number of hours in the day that marks over use for you . Actually, i wouldnt. I understand pa rents anxiety. Use for you . Actually, i wouldnt. I understand parents anxiety. The internet is relatively new. It is quite uncertain what is good for children or not and it israeli hard to make a rule to fit all children. What i would rather say is dont look at your watch, dont check the time, look at your child. Is your child happy or suitable . Are they learning something they are keen to tell you about from the internet, or are they staring and have forgotten the outside world exists. Are they sociable and want to share the things . Look at your child, dont look at your watch. Where does the internet fit within their day and within their life, because children are so different, and what we really want, i think, are so different, and what we really want, ithink, is are so different, and what we really want, i think, is to support children making decisions about what is beneficial for them and where they can gain something and where it is that the internet is distracting them from other valuable activities, which sometimes it does for us as well as for them. It can be hard because we are encouraged to keep on clicking and stay online. Do you think the social Media Companies should be doing more . think the social Media Companies should be doing more . I think you could take account of the fact that children from young ages are using the internet for good reasons, to learn, engage and communicate, but if they could find ways to design points where families might stop and think, do i want to carry on or do i wa nt to think, do i want to carry on or do i want to do Something Else now . Have i had enough . Am i still thinking, feeling, excited, creative and positive or am i turning into a zombie . Of course, they design that environment and their interest in the short term is to keep children engaged for as long as they possibly can. But i think in the long term, they want children to stay there. They dont want the parents to stay. They dont want the parents to stay. We they dont want the parents to stay. We have to leave it there but thank you for making good use of your internet. Stay with us on Bbc World News, still to come. A lukewarm reaction toJustin Gatlin as he receives a gold medal.

AmericasJustin Gatlin has been crowned world 100 metres champion he was booed by some in the crowd upon receiving his medal. It was slightly more subdued than when he actually won the race on saturday. Heres a reminder. Justin gatlin. Usain bolt in third. Joining me is Alan Abrahamson who has written defending the sprinter. Do you think it was fair, the building . Absolutely not. Thanks for having me. Ithink building . Absolutely not. Thanks for having me. I think the building is somewhere between disappointing and somewhat reprehensible. Olympic sport is not the english premier league. It is not the nba or the nfl. Olympic sport is supposed to be about three key values, friendship, excellent and respect and that booing was not about any of those things. Sebastien coe, the president of the International Athletics association federations, said beforehand the idea of Gatlin Beating bolt made him feel queasy. Can you understand why there is anger at this win. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion but i think this narrative is built, it is false. This good versus evil thing is a fixture. Justin gatlin served two times off but he never intended to cheat. In our world, in what you do and what i do, facts matter. What would be helpful is if people took time to get past a cheap and easy good versus evil narrative and easy good versus evil narrative and paid attention to the facts. Justin gatlin never intended to cheat. That is a matter in the record for the record. He is now 35 yea rs record for the record. He is now 35 years old. He had a long period away from competition. Just how has he managed to achieve this feat . A remarkable time there beating usain bolt. What is his secret at that age . There is no secret, it is hard work. Eight months or more of training, six hours a day with a crew in florida under the direction of dennis mitchell. There is no secret. It is really, really hard work and by the way, he got lane eight in that race and he was allowed to run his own race while Christian Coleman and usain bolt we re Christian Coleman and usain bolt were kind of consumed with each other. Justin gatlin was out there free and easy like Wayde Van Niekerk ran in lane eight at the Youth Olympics lasted and ran a world record in the 400 metres. Sometimes fate has its own mind. All right, thank you, we appreciate your time. Dont forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter im duncangolestani. To stay with us on Bbc World News. Thank you for watching.
