Venezuelas Opposition Leader won wide has called for a series of strikes in an attempt to oust president Nicolas Maduro from power clashes yesterday between supporters of in the military left one woman dead and dozens of people injured why dont has been trying to persuade the military to shift its allegiance but president maduro says his efforts at a coup and failed. A violent stalemate in caracas on one side opposition protesters on the other the National Guard still largely low to nicholas madrone and his revolution the injured and carried away and then this violent game of cat and mouse begins all over again. I want to be here fighting for my country its better than staying at home in front of the computer that. The opposition called this a decisive die for venezuela but that said that often since antigovernment unrest began in january and. Is still far from the president ial palace said from the streets he urged supporters to keep up the pressure. Of what we have sector fires has not been in vain they thought all the protests would be over the yesterday they were wrong lets keep protesting until we have freed the nisei love with my. But despite months of pressure Nicolas Maduro can still mobilize supporters to progovernment militias crowded in along side in a style just for the light chavez at a made a rally. The other venezuela seemingly as defiant as ever. But i see this is a show of strength against us imperialism and its aggressive plans. And the jurys message now that only he can defend the country against washington the venezuelan lated nice is going anywhere even up to choose as military uprising. To yesterdays cool the skirmish that played out yesterday was personally directed from the white house by john bolton. A day after venezuela looks further into chaos it appears that not the government nor opposition is any. Most of the victory instead the countrys vicious now might is producing yet more suffering and yet move victims. Lets get more on this now with as a key help us to lead a political scientist at berlins alice Holman University an expert on but us well thanks for coming in this morning and im a guy whos calling for more strikes until madore is forced out will the public back him on this. I really doubt that because their recent why his attempt failed yesterday was basically because he did not receive the Popular Support that he was expecting so his strategy is to keep things up to keep escalating bad so far it has not worked so i doubt that its going to work now ok so you dont think this approach by gordo is going to be successful but what about the door oh you know how has he been able to keep the military on side a large portion of the public considering the shortages of food medicine and outflow of refugees out of the country and the mounting domestic political pressure the economy has basically collapsed over the last years however my are still holds the support of a. Kind of big part of the ministry a lump of elation specially among poor people because they still remember the good years the president chavez when the economy grew when the inequality and poverty decrease the government also these three buttes social assistance which is very important especially among among poor people to make ends meet and the knitters supports him because of Different Reasons one of them is that they play a very Important Role in the Us Government and they have a lot of privileges that they do not want to lose how long can the dura count on the positive sentiments left over from the chavez regime how long can that last thats a very good question but. What he can answer that it has worked so far but naturally his support is decreasing or has decreased over the years and next to that i think that the opposition with this strategy off escalating and trying to throw him out violently this is not working so we have both. Very polarized radicalised sites year playing a part and none of them is really getting to control it cant relieve. Ourselves so far that goes ok another strategy of go i dozed to break off a key element of the military leadership he hasnt been successful so far could he be successful im serious. I cannot foresee the future but so far that strategy has not worked even though yesterdays. Something around one hundred military men participated but so for the higher officials just a few of them half. Have left the government most of them still remain there what about the impact of the involvement of other countries especially from from russia the United States how is that likely to affect the situation this while it is very important both countries are interested in venezuela because of the obvious fact that been israel has some of the Largest Oil Reserves in the world and next to that the country that the big power that is pushing things forward here which is the u. S. Has many interests there one on one of the reasons why the u. S. Is supporting why those so much the shift in its Foreign Policy towards latin america in the context of the trade war with china. The u. S. Since drum came to power has hardened its political line towards venezuela the us does not want any. Opposition or real a position within the American Continent continence this is one of the reasons why trump is recordings why though so much the other things have to do with the internal political situation off of trump one of them off is that hes been accused of collaborating with russia so in the light of this like you say sions in two thousand and six sixteen im sorry it is very good for him to show that hes come from thing with russia and hes using russia lives or if hes just the minister last somehow a proxy war to come from with russia is using this politically as well because it paid off for him to come from with a us so we have a lot of interests there playing a part. Thanks very much for a common story. Lets check in with some of the other stories making news at this hour u. S.

Mall staying in Africa Relief efforts are continuing following cycling kenneth which tore through mozambique a week ago the governments confirmed that the death toll has now risen to forty one but the total scale of the disaster is not yet known many parts of mozambique are now inaccessible our correspondent easily increased travel to you bo an island in the north of the country it was especially hard. We are onboard an aid flight headed towards the vacation island of now for the first time we get an aerial view of the massive destruction up till now flights have hardly been possible due to the strong. Ive never seen anything like this theres an entire village just completely destroyed of a single house standing and you look at the trees most of them fell down just like toothpicks. Now were about to land on the island of ebook the first aid packages have arrived but this is by far not enough to help out the six thousand People Living here. The island has been almost completely destroyed nearly all the houses have been torn down including the. Days she has been trying to bring order to the chaos. Mon warming our beds our clothes we have lost everything we are doing our best to put things in order again at least the sun is shining at least dry the few clues that we have managed to salvage. It has been raining nonstop for nearly the entire week since the cycle hit shows us her house what is left of it this is where she and her children lived. In you are god but they dont know the wind was so incredibly strong that it ripped away nearly everything we lost everything now we dont have anything to you know knew about pay up as i dont know if we will receive any kind of aid but nothing is left i dont have a job or field was destroyed it. I am a single mother i have to take care of my children and i have to take care of my parents my mother is sick we have to do our best to make ends meet. Nearly everyone who lives here has found their way of life ripped away from them most of them are fishermen but many boards were washed away with the storm those that remained have to be repaired the mangroves were destroyed as well and the fish disappeared and have not returned since the cycle hit. The fewer tells on the island were also hard hit it might be a while before that your wrists return. Most parts of the bore are completely destroyed it looks as a bulldozer drove over this little city here a lot of people have no place to stay anymore so they had to build little shacks like this one but many of told me they dont know how life will continue because they dont have the money to build new houses. And her children cant spend the nights in their own house anymore because the danger of it collapsing on them is too great. So they have to take the only remaining bat and all eight of them sleeping under an improvised roof their food is slowly running out they still have some fruit and vegetables but it is only enough for one meal a day but she tries to stay optimistic nonetheless she wants her children to know that one way or another she will make things work. Well the report put together by the w. C. Adrian krishna joins us now from pemba thats on the mainland near. We understand some quarter of a Million People have been affected by this second cycle and two months what have you been finding out on the ground where you are. Well the situation and evil is terrible ive never seen destruction like this it looked like a movie but it is reality of course for the People Living there the family you have seen they havent eaten the whole day when i met them and they were just hoping that their relatives would come by late to the day to bring them some food so that they would at least have one meal a day the food that reached theres not enough at the moment to stop just tribute ing it because in the last days its been raining strong is so helicopters and planes could not go there ok food aid is a top issue what about some of the other relief efforts that need to happen is mozambiques government on top of this. Well if you have a situation whereby thousands of people in a place like evil still dont receive food aid i dont think you can say the government is on top of it but the president was an evil as well yesterday to iran through a lot of affected areas but now he has to act they cant blame it now on the weather any more that change fortunately now there has to be a Quick Response but it is also clear that alone cant do that all on its own its a relatively poor country and you saw its people back to zero they have to start from zero so that means they need a lot of support not only from their government but also from abroad ok there are fears out there at this hour about more rains and possible floodwaters on the way what are you hearing about what are people saying are they worried about more rains coming to where they are. Sure thats definitely been a major concern off of the site and its been raining for days nonstop but yesterday the forecast predicted heavy rains it did not rain at all today also heavy rains predicted but you can see it behind me it is not raining again so this is very good news people are very happy about it and that they are they are hoping that it will remain like this so a place like can be the beautiful. Nation that has been before that people are coming back life will get back to normal but. Its also too early to say that theres no need for warnings anymore the four process still not looking very good so people are still afraid that Something Else could happen adrian thanks so much for dropping in for this uplink this morning and for your report as well e. G. Increased forest there near the boat hes on right now thanks very much on the mainland. Well may day rallies took place in a number of cities yesterday focusing on better working conditions and higher pay in some places it was a day of protests tear gas and arrests and although it was more of a family. Parasol violent demonstrations as Police Used Tear Gas to disperse mass demonstrators. Yellow vest protesters opposed to the governments economic policies joints trade unionists in whats traditionally a day to honor organized labor its been seen as another marker of the unrest sweeping france in recent months. Thanks to post with the violence the government is inflicting on us and everything that follows what little violence we can inflate does absolutely nothing and is just a warning sign if we have to get to that level its because its a real problem and we dont have any other solution just so if its just there were clashes in turkey as well as Police Detained demonstrators taking part in may day protests in istanbul this came after protesters tried to march towards the citys main square the site hold symbolic value for the countrys labor movement. Series in russia the traditional International Workers day saw a trade union marches in moscow it was a pretty good lives really after that was the government while Police Detained dozens of opposition activists in St Petersburg was the real. Deal and in germanys capital berlin the mood was distinctly more relaxed families gathered for an officially sponsored a may fest and there were no molotov cocktails in view i think its a very nice or just poured their family and also looked at teach their kids about what is the first off my. He had injured money at least embezzling crites where. They weigh how people celebrate these first my its very nice if we compare. Parents always say i came here to meet my friends and enjoy the atmosphere. As the sun was setting however protesters lived up to a berlin tradition pearling bottles at police it seems that for some a day celebrants old habits die hard. We have some sports and football now and in the semifinals of the Champions League barcelona have beaten liverpools three now in the first leg luis suarez opening the scoring for the spanish post in the twenty six minute then it was legal messi scoring the second fifteen minutes from time he struck again and just seven minutes later the second leg will take place in liverpool next tuesday the side who will face either i. X. Or tottenham in the file. With me now in the studio Ed Mccambridge as ever welcome head from the words. You know when we look at leo messi last night those two goals he was certainly the standout was well hes actually annoying i mean imagine being that good at your job those are his eleven and twelve goals of this Champions League campaign in just nine appearances which would be remarkable figures for anybody other than leo messi he makes he makes remarkable on remark when he does this all the time his first was a relatively simple tap and he just reacted quicker than anybody else to double boston on his lead in the second half and then he scored so free kick can be proud to score a computer game it was one of the yards and made it impossible for the goalkeeper to save it absolutely fantastic strike and it must be frustrating for liverpool because they kept him relatively subdued for the most part but i mean theres no stopping him and he found a way to get a couple of goals and now boss one of the huge advantage in the second that you are going into that you know we talked yes
