Sing he's. You're listening to the news room from the b.b.c. World Service with me Mark Lobell President Trump has delivered one of his strongest warnings yet to Venezuela's embattled President Nicolas Maduro in a speech in Florida the state with the biggest Venezuelan community in the u.s. Mr Trump warned members of the Venezuelan military that they risked everything by continuing to remain loyal to President Maduro he urged them to bring an end to what he called a socialist dictatorship and backed the self-proclaimed interim president here and quite oh here's how he put it if you choose this pair you have the opportunity to help forge a safe and prosperous future for all of the people of them as well or you can choose the 2nd they're continuing to support. Was. If you choose this there you will find no safe are. No easy exit and no way our you will lose everything I was President Trump went on to say the military should allow us humanitarian aid in it's currently being stockpiled on the border with Colombia but Mr Madeira has said the food and medicine is part of an American coup to overthrow him Well our correspondent Barbara Plett Usha joins us now from Miami Barbara Mr Trump is clearly trying to encourage more defections do you think it will work. Well that's the big question isn't it so far it hasn't worked the administration especially his national security advisor John Bolton seems quite confident that it will work he has said that members of the military are speaking to the opposition quietly behind the scenes talking about their various options but whether to join Mr y door about whether to leave the country and he seems quite confident that the sanctions the u.s. Has put on Mr Madeira the oil sanctions which cuts off much if most of his cash inflow will eventually mean that he can't pay these these these officers and so they will have to make that decision but they haven't done so yet indeed rather ominously Barbour he said all options all options remain on the table to bring about the end of the Madeira government presumably this is a threat that Venezuela should take seriously. Yes And I think it is taking it seriously but Mr Trump has been very vague about this option he has said he sort of hinted at military options what his administration has been entirely focused on very tough economic and deep and diplomatic measures not to mention that the coalition if you want to call it that that has formed around this u.s. Policy because you have more than 50 countries now recognizing one guy Joe as an interim president many of them would be against a military intervention so I think it would really be a matter of last resort and in fact Abrams who's the u.s. Envoy for Venezuela has said he doesn't really forsee military involvement but it is useful for the Americans to keep that option out there to rattle the majority regime and of course one can't rule it out and it was a rousing speech in Miami we caught a bit of it here you were there was the speech though because Trump is a political animal of course as much about winning Hispanic votes in next year's presidential election as it was about Venezuela. Well I would say that was a factor I mean there are a lot of reasons why the administration is going after Venezuela now but but one of the elements to this hope this whole policy is that it does it is. Very popular with the Latino there the Hispanics in South Florida the Venezuelan and Cuban exile community is and if they vote as a bloc they can have quite an impact or they can have an impact that say on the outcome of elections in Florida which is a crucial swing state so I think that is an element where we're talking about elections thank you very much Barbara. Faith the founder of China's telecom giant while away has told the b.b.c. The United States will not crush the company who are way is the world's largest telecoms equipment maker but the company is under attack in the u.s. For allegedly for allegedly stealing trade secrets the u.s. Also says While way kit could be used to spy on its customers and competitors his daughter among one Joe who's the company's chief financial officer is under arrest in Canada on a u.s. Extradition warrant our Asia business correspondent Kareen. Has the excuse exclusive interview with Farai. There's no way the u.s. Can crush us the world needs while away because we are more advanced even if they persuade more countries not to use us temporarily we could just scale things down a bit and because the us keeps targeting us and finding fault with us it has forced us to improve our products and services. What kind of impact would it have on your business if the u.s. Is successful in getting many of its partners in the West to shut your equipment out machine for value and if the lights go out in the west the east will still shine and if the North goes dark then there is still the south america doesn't represent the world Mr Wrenn I would like to raise the issue of your daughter this is a personally very very challenging time for you she is in Canada she's been arrested by the u.s. Request and she faces extradition how do you feel about this and what will you do if she is sent to jail was so she and her friend into trouble for I object to what the u.s. Has done this kind of politically motivated act is not acceptable the u.s. Likes to sanction others whenever there's an issue they'll use such methods we object to this do you want to go and she has no impact on where ways business due to main one goes loss of freedom in fact we're growing even faster so they caught Ming when Joe Maybe they got the wrong person they may have thought if they've arrested her while we would fall but we didn't fall we are still moving forward our company has established processes and procedures and no longer relies on any one person even if I myself go one day this company won't change its trajectory forward which I did above. Charisma Swami they're talking to a room John pay. A summit in Israel of a group of 4 central European countries has been cancelled after our Poland's role in the Holocaust Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said on a visit had said on a visit to Warsaw last week that the Poles had cooperated with the Nazis during the 2nd World War Poland's prime minister made at those more of yet ski said his country would now not participate in a meeting designed to strengthen Israel's ties with the e.u. Member states for more so Adam Eastern reports the route started when Mr Netanyahu said polls had cooperated with the Nazis in the Holocaust the Israeli leader said he'd been misquoted and meant that individual polls not the Polish nation had collaborated his clarification proved insufficient and was practically rendered void when acting foreign minister Israel Katz went even further is the cat's quoted former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir as saying anti semitism was widespread among Poles really premature from even a French old school liberated with the Nazis What did you judge me as saying his father was murdered why poles he said that as far as he's concerned they circled anti-Semitism with their mother's milk one cannot beautifier this history and we those who carry the legacy of the Holocaust all the nation of Israel no matter where they come from we will continue to do. Poland's prime minister much more of yet he said the remarks were racist and absolutely unacceptable Polish leaders admit that individual poles committed Hien as crimes against their Jewish neighbors including murder however thousands of Poles risk their lives to hide Jews from the net seas they point out that Germany invaded Poland and created the extermination camps indeed under the Nazi occupation the Polish state ceased to exist unlike in France or Norway there was no collaboration is regime in Poland and. The Polish underground was one of the largest resistance movements in occupied Europe you're listening to the b.b.c. World Service Still to come on The Newsroom the teenager who woke from a coma only to discover she'd become a mum 1st Gareth has the headlines President Trump has won the Venezuelan military they risk losing everything if they don't abandon President Nicolas Maduro the chairman of the Chinese technology giant Huawei has told the b.b.c. The United States cannot stop its firm's global expansion and the Brazilian president Jalal Sanaa has fired one of his top aides over a campaign finance scandal. Thanks Garth as Garth was saying that Jaya both n.r.o. Has made some bold promises when he was sworn in as Brazil's president in January chief amongst them a pledge to rescue his country from corruption but less than 2 months into his presidency he's had to sack one of his most senior aides because of a scandal involving campaign financing that Ally Gustavo bebee are no denies the improper handling of funds during last year's election Daniel Gallus our South America business correspondent who's in Sao Paolo explained how this came to light it was revealed by a newspaper earlier this month now this is a government that has promised that would change Brazil forever it campaigned against corruption Brazil has that many corruption scandals in the past had a president that was impeached and this president called himself sort of a savior but it's has just been 2 months in office and he had to let go one of his key aides due to a scandal that pretty much is like the other scandals we've seen in Brazil in the past and how embarrassing is this for president both sonar Oh it's quite embarrassing because this man who he had to let go today to start with you know he wasn't just any political aide he was the head of the also not us political party last year so a man who had sort of the key to the money to the party's finances and he was very important in running also knows campaign so a very close political ally who was involved in a scandal where pretty much what was happening was that the party was doing sort of what you could call ghost candidates for which just then received public money from for their own campaigns but that all those campaigns didn't really exist and no one really knows where that money went to so quite embarrassing for the president but no links direct links to the present. Himself no suspicions that the president was involved in any of this what we see here in Brazil is that will Sonata knows he must do a lot of work in Congress next month to approve key political reforms for Brazil so he must show that he's not willing to have anyone in his government who doesn't have 100 percent honest profile. And you're Gallus there she ran away to marry an Islamic state fighter on the front line in Syria witnessed the gory aftermath of executions and lost 2 of her own children however the former London school girl now wants to come home in an interview with the b.b.c. There was an apology of sorts to the British public but Shamima Begum also drew a moral equivalence between terrorist attacks in the u.k. And coalition action in Syria the 19 year old gave birth to a baby boy at the weekend in a refugee camp in northern Syria Quentin Summerville has been to visit her and asked whose decision it had been for her to go to Syria myself I will admit I was the one that made the choice even though I was only 15 years old I do have the mentality to make my own decision that I did leave on my own knowing that it was a risk I would miss my father I know that strong forgiveness really. Like everything I've been through I didn't expect that I would go through that and you know. Losing my children the way I lost and I don't want to lose this baby and this is really no place to raise children this camp maybe temporarily but not permanently that Islamic state for him if he had been defeated would you think. Of the left Troy here's your opportunity then to apologize to some of the people who were murdered by the group that you joined some of the British men some of the women some of the kids from Manchester who were killed in the Manchester Arena you must have heard about that time what do you think of it. I was shocked. It's can you know I think it actually. I do feel that it's wrong that people like innocent people did get killed it's like it's one thing to kill a soldier that is fighting you you know it's self-defense but to kill people like women children just like people want you know like the women children in court right now unjustly by the bombings. But still it's a 2 and. Only. Because women and children are being killed back in this like state right now. And it's kind of retaliation like their justification was that it was retaliation so I thought Ok that is a Fed justification so I haven't heard your whole joint thing anybody. Ok I am sorry for all the families that have lost their husbands and sons and brothers you know and I'm sorry for all the men that lost their women and children because of that tax back in the u.k. Or in other countries it was unfair on them they weren't fighting anyone they won't cause any harm neither was I any of the other women who are being killed right now back in bottles and I think you're wrong you did cause harm because you helped this terrible regime which was murdering people which was mounting terror attacks you joined them you give them support you became a poor struggle for them. Like I said the possible thing was not my choice I would not have you know. Me me just going there and being a housewife interesting a home and them taking care of me it's not really in any way help like I'm not paying for their bullets I'm not paying for them to be trained Shamima Begum Quenton some of those questions there. To Egypt now where an explosive device has been detonated right in the heart of the capital despite that he didn't look like a terrorist when the attack happened Captain Mehmood was dead and the attacker was in pieces the explosion happened when a militant with an explosive device blew himself up after a police chase 2 policemen were killed and nearby civilians injured no group has claimed responsibility for the attack our correspondent in Cairo Salina Bill picks up the story according to a statement by the Ministry of Interior security forces were chasing a man who is believed to have planted an improvised explosive device in another part of Colorado last week and apparently had an explosive device with him as they chased him and as they were about to reach him he blew himself up and he was immediately killed of course and he killed another 2 policeman the fact that the explosion took place in a very busy part of historic Cairo it's not far from. This area is usually busy 247 especially at night so maybe this justifies why a couple of people have been killed them the mother a few have been and the fact that it happened in this very strategic part of cloud on the heart of the city this says a lot about how adequate security measures are we do hear about attacks in Egypt but actually sadly attacks in the capital itself are quite rare on the yes especially in the past few years attacks in the capital have been quite rare most of the attacks used to take place in the Sinai Peninsula where there are a number of affiliated militants operating there bu
