  1. The UN has condemned an air strike that closed the only functioning airport in Libya's capital, Tripoli, on Monday. Flights at Mitiga International Airport were suspended and passengers were evacuated. No casualties were reported. The UN blamed the air strike on forces loyal to General Khalifa Haftar, a commander from the east who is trying to seize the capital. A spokesman for Gen Haftar's forces said civilian planes had not been targeted, Reuters news agency reports. Gen Haftar, who leads the Libyan National Army (LNA), declared an offensive to take control of Tripoli from Libya's UN-backed government last week. Why is Libya so lawless? Who is military strongman Khalifa Haftar? Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj has accused him of attempting to carry out a coup. At least 2,800 people have so far fled fighting around Tripoli, the UN says. The UN also warns that those who remain risk being cut off from vital services because of the clashes. Libya has been torn by violence, political instability and power struggles since long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed in 2011. International powers have started evacuating personnel from the country in recent days as the situation has deteriorated. What is the latest on the clashes? The UN's Libya envoy, Ghassan Salame, said Monday's air strike violated humanitarian law which prohibited attacks against civilian infrastructure. Mr Salame said the bombing marked an "escalation of violence on the ground". LNA spokesman Ahmed Mismari was quoted by Reuters as saying "only a MiG [aircraft] parked at Mitiga airport" had been targeted. The airport is also the base for a powerful militia, loosely under the control of the government's ministry of interior, says the BBC's North Africa correspondent, Rana Jawad. An older, inactive airport, Tripoli International, has also been a focal point for clashes recent days. The Libyan health ministry said at least 25 people had been killed and 80 wounded so far, including civilians and government fighters. Gen Haftar's forces said they had lost at least 19 fighters. The UN appealed for a two-hour truce on Sunday to allow for the evacuations of casualties and civilians, but fighting continued. Why is there fighting in Libya? Libya has been a hotbed of unrest since Gaddafi was overthrown eight years ago. The Government of National Accord (GNA) was created from peace talks in 2015, but has struggled to take control despite UN backing. Gen Haftar is allied to a rival government in the eastern city of Tobruk which has refused to cede power to Tripoli. The general helped Gaddafi seize power in 1969 before falling out with him and going into exile in the US. He then returned when the uprising against Gaddafi began and became a rebel commander. His LNA troops have continued to make advances, seizing the south of Libya and its oil fields earlier this year. UN-backed talks between the rival governments had been scheduled for 14-16 April to discuss a roadmap for new elections, but it is now unclear if these will still take place. Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj said he had offered concessions to Gen Haftar to avoid bloodshed, only to be "stabbed in the back". What has the reaction been? Much of the international community, including the US, have called for a ceasefire to hostilities. "This unilateral military campaign against Tripoli is endangering civilians and undermining prospects for a better future for all Libyans," US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday. The US military is among those to withdraw its supporting forces based in the country, blaming the "complex and unpredictable" situation and "increased unrest" on the ground. The UN is also due to pull out non-essential staff. Residents of Tripoli have reportedly begun stocking up on food and fuel. The BBC Arab affairs editor Sebastian Usher says some residents fear a long operation such as that which Gen Haftar mounted to take the eastern city of Benghazi from Islamist fighters in 2017. Back to square one? Analysis by Rana Jawad, BBC North Africa correspondent, in Tunis The rogue general's defiance suggests that, despite international condemnation of his recent moves, he believes he can only secure a place in Libya's future political makeup through military means. Diplomats are worried because the manner and timing of the attack mean he is unlikely to back down unless he is defeated. Few thought he would go ahead and launch this operation - which he has long threatened to do - because they believed ongoing talks that saw him go from Paris to Palermo and the UAE for more than a year would buy time until a new political settlement was reached through negotiations and an eventual electoral process. Today, Western nations have few cards to play to de-escalate the violence and once again find themselves in a position where they may need to start from scratch.

  5. The man accused of killing 50 people in last month's attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, has been ordered to undergo mental health tests. Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, would be seen by experts to determine whether he was fit to stand trial or insane, said high court judge Cameron Mander. Mr Tarrant appeared in the courtroom - packed with relatives of some of his victims - via video link from prison. He faces 50 murder charges and 39 attempted murder charges. He was not required to enter a plea. Christchurch shootings: How the attacks unfolded New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has called it one of New Zealand's "darkest days". She has vowed to ban all types of semi-automatic weapons and assault rifles. What happened in the court? On Friday morning, Judge Mader ordered that two assessments would be carried out to determine the state of the suspect's mental health. The suspect listened intently during the short court hearing. He made no comments. The suspect was able to see the judge and lawyers and hear the proceedings - but the camera was turned away from the public gallery. The judge remanded him in custody, and his next court appearance is now due on 14 June. How did the attacks unfold? The shootings happened on 15 March, in what was the deadliest attack in New Zealand's history. The gunman first targeted the Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch, as people attended Friday's prayers. He live-streamed footage of his rampage to Facebook, filmed with a head-mounted camera. Footage showed the man, armed with semi-automatic weapons, firing indiscriminately at men, women and children from close range inside the mosque. The suspect then attacked a nearby Linwood Mosque, where about 100 people were attending prayers. Police officer later chased and arrested the suspect. Ms Ardern later said the guns used by the attacker appeared to have been modified, and that the suspect's car was full of weapons, suggesting "his intention to continue with his attack". She said the suspect had obtained a gun licence in November 2017 that allowed him to buy the weapons used in the attack. Ms Ardern said the suspect "had not come to the attention of the intelligence community nor the police for extremism". Before the attacks, social media accounts in the name of Brenton Tarrant were used to post a lengthy, racist document in which the author identified the mosques that were later attacked.
  6. A comedian with no political experience has won the most votes in the first round of Ukraine's presidential elections, according to exit polls. They say Volodymyr Zelenskiy - who played the president on TV - received 30.4% of the vote, with current leader Petro Poroshenko second on 17.8%. The two - who have expressed largely pro-EU opinions - are set to take part in a run-off election next month. Ex-PM Yulia Tymoshenko appears to have been eliminated on a projected 14.2%. What would a comic president mean for Ukraine? Funny business at the polls Pranked at a fake election rally "I'm very happy but this is not the final action," Mr Zelenskiy told the BBC's Jonah Fisher minutes after the exit polls were announced. Mr Poroshenko described his forecast second place as a "harsh lesson". Presidential election results Leading candidate in each region. Latest as of 5:10, 1 April, Kiev time (BST +2). 26.35% of votes counted Volodymyr Zelenskiy Yuriy Boyko Petro Poroshenko Select a region from the dropdown or tap or click on the map below The interior ministry says hundreds of electoral violations have been reported, but foreign observers say the vote appeared to be mainly smooth. A total of 39 candidates were on the ballot paper, and with none receiving 50% the top two will go forward to the run-off on 21 April. The Ukrainian president has significant powers over security, defence and foreign policy and the ex-Soviet republic's system is described as semi-presidential. Who is Volodymyr Zelenskiy? Media captionThe comedian who could be president Mr Zelenskiy is aiming to turn his satirical TV show Servant of the People - in which he portrays an ordinary citizen who becomes president after fighting corruption - into reality. He has torn up the rulebook for election campaigning, staging no rallies and few interviews, and appears to have no strong political views apart from a wish to be new and different. His extensive use of social media appealed to younger voters. Mr Zelenskiy's readiness to speak both Russian and Ukrainian, at a time when language rights are a hugely sensitive topic, gained him support in Ukraine's largely Russian-speaking east. How did we get here? Mr Poroshenko, a chocolate magnate and one of Ukraine's wealthiest people, was elected in a snap vote after former pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was toppled in the February 2014 Maidan Revolution, which was followed by Russia's annexation of Crimea and a Russian-backed insurgency in the east. Media captionUkraine's presidential elections: five things to know The next president will inherit a deadlocked conflict between Ukrainian troops and the eastern separatists, while Ukraine strives to fulfil EU requirements for closer economic ties. The EU says that about 12% of Ukraine's 44 million people are disenfranchised, largely those who live in Russia and in Crimea, which Russia annexed in March 2014. Mr Poroshenko aimed to appeal to conservative Ukrainians through his slogan "Army, Language, Faith". Petro Poroshenko voted with his wife He says his backing for the military has helped keep the separatists in check. He also negotiated an Association Agreement with the EU, including visa-free travel for Ukrainians. During his tenure the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has become independent of Russian control. However his campaign has been dogged by corruption allegations, including a scandal over defence procurement, which erupted last month. Image captionYulia Tymoshenko stood for president twice before Yulia Tymoshenko served as prime minister and ran for president in 2010 and 2014. She played a leading role in the 2004 Orange Revolution, Ukraine's first big push to ally itself with the EU.

  8. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his long-awaited report on alleged collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. The Attorney General William Barr will now summarise the report and decide how much to share with Congress. A justice department official said Mr Mueller's report did not recommend any further indictments. The special counsel has already charged six former Trump aides and dozens of Russians. Mr Barr told congressional leaders in a letter that he anticipated being able to inform them of the report's key findings over the weekend. What might 'Mueller report' look like? Trump Russia: The saga in 250 words Who's who in the drama to end all dramas? The report is intended to explain any prosecutorial decisions the special counsel has made in the 22 months since his appointment by deputy US Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Mr Trump and other Republicans have repeatedly condemned the probe as a "witch hunt". Media captionMueller is done... this is what we know In his letter to Congress' judiciary committee leaders - Senators Lindsey Graham and Dianne Feinstein and Congressmen Jerrold Nadler and Doug Collins - Mr Barr confirmed there were no instances during the investigation where the Department of Justice had interfered with Mr Mueller's work. Mr Barr said he will now consult with Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein - who managed the inquiry prior to Mr Barr's appointment - and Mr Mueller "to determine what other information from the report can be released to Congress and the public". "I remain committed to as much transparency as possible, and I will keep you informed as to the status of my review." Over the last 22 months, the special counsel has revealed how Russian agents and operatives allegedly obtained information about US elections to initiate a campaign to influence Americans, fund political activities in the US and hack emails of top Democrats to undermine Hillary Clinton's campaign. Who is special counsel Robert Mueller? What does the special counsel do? Key questions answered in the Trump Russia probe Mr Mueller was also investigating whether Mr Trump obstructed justice with his firing of FBI director James Comey, or by trying to mislead or end the inquiry. Mr Trump has repeatedly said there was "no collusion" with Russia and "no obstruction". The president never agreed to an interview with Mr Mueller's team during the inquiry, but his lawyers submitted written answers to questions after months of negotiating terms. Out with a letter, not a bang? Is this how the Mueller investigation ends? Not with a bang, but with a letter? The details of the final report have yet to be disclosed, but because Attorney General Barr has said there were no instances where he or his predecessors overrode the special counsel's prosecutorial decisions - and no new indictments have been announced - it seems possible that what we have seen with the criminal portion of the probe is what we're going to get. There may still be politically damaging revelations to come, but Donald Trump has shrugged off many a political threat in his rise to the White House. Without a criminal caseload directly related to "collusion" by members of the Trump campaign - the central thrust of the investigation - it seems certain the president and his White House surrogates will shout from the hilltops that their side has been exonerated. This is far from the end of legal jeopardy for the president, his family, his aides and his business empire, of course. Investigations at both the state and federal level into various financial and campaign finance violations grind on, not to mention the aggressive oversight coming down the pipe from the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives. After today's developments, however, the president will continue to claim he is the victim of an unfounded "witch hunt". His political adversaries, who were hoping for a courtroom coup de grace, will be left searching for a new silver bullet. What's the reaction? Media captionHow US networks reacted to Mueller news White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement: "The next steps are up to Attorney General Barr and we look forward to the process taking its course. The White House has not received or been briefed on the Special Counsel's report." Mr Trump's personal lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow echoed a similar sentiment, saying they were "pleased" the report had been delivered and trust Mr Barr to "determine the appropriate next steps". Mr Nadler, a New York Democrat, acknowledged the investigation had concluded on Twitter, saying: "We look forward to getting the full Mueller report and related materials." Image Copyright @RepJerryNadler@REPJERRYNADLER Report Earlier this month, the House of Representatives voted unanimously for a resolution demanding the Department of Justice to release the full report to the public, signalling support within both parties to find out whether Mr Mueller discovered any criminal wrongdoing. Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer also called for transparency in a joint statement, adding that the White House "must not be allowed to interfere". "The Special Counsel's investigation focused on questions that go to the integrity of our democracy itself: whether foreign powers corruptly interfered in our elections, and whether unlawful means were used to hinder that investigation. The American people have a right to the truth." Mr Graham, a South Carolina Republican and vocal Trump supporter, said he "always believed it was important that Mr Mueller be allowed to do his job without interference, and that has been accomplished". What comes next? Exactly what happens next is really in Mr Barr's hands. Legally, the attorney general is under no obligation to release the report publicly, and his copy to Congress could contain redactions - but during his confirmation hearings before senators, he vowed to release as much as he could. And if he does provide Congress with the full details, members could leak the report to the public on their own. Seven legal headaches for the president With the 2020 presidential elections looming, candidates are expected to campaign with promises of making the full report public. Many of the Democratic hopefuls - Beto O'Rourke, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, Julian Castro - have been quick to call for it.
  9. Prime Minister Theresa May is writing to the EU to formally ask for Brexit to be postponed. One ministerial source told the BBC the longer delay could be up to two years, amid reports of a cabinet row, but No 10 said no decision had been made. EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said the EU would not grant a delay without a "concrete plan" from the UK about what they would do with it. Under current law the UK will leave the EU with or without a deal in 10 days. MPs rejected the withdrawal deal Mrs May has negotiated with the EU for a second time last week by 149 votes. They also voted in favour of ruling out leaving the EU without a deal, and in favour of extending the Brexit process. The prime minister had hoped to have another try at getting MPs to back the deal this week - but Speaker John Bercow effectively torpedoed that with his surprise intervention on Monday. Kuenssberg: Cabinet split on Brexit delay Brexitcast: The last days of Rome Merkel to fight for 'orderly Brexit' Brexit: A really simple guide She still hopes to ultimately get it in front of MPs for a third go, but says even if that happens and they vote in favour of it, the UK will need a short extension to get the necessary legislation through Parliament. A cabinet source told the BBC she therefore plans to ask the EU to agree to postpone the UK's departure until 30 June, but with an option of a longer delay as well. Mrs May has warned Brexiteer Tories that longer extension will be needed if her deal does not get through Parliament. Media captionWill the UK leave the EU on time? One ministerial source told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg there was "no agreement" around the cabinet table when a delay was discussed. Another cabinet source said they were frustrated that the PM had not been clear about which delay option she would be arguing for. Commons leader Andrea Leadsom is said to have criticised colleagues, saying they now amounted to a "Remain cabinet", not a "Brexit cabinet". Chancellor Philip Hammond said ministers all wanted the "shortest possible delay" but cabinet members "have different approaches to how we should do this". Any delay will have to be agreed by all 27 EU member states and Mrs May is heading to Brussels on Thursday to discuss the options with fellow leaders. What happens next? The PM is writing to the EU to ask for Brexit to be postponed Mrs May will travel to an EU summit in Brussels on Thursday to discuss the delay options All 27 EU members have to agree to any extension proposed If an extension is agreed, Mrs May will probably try to get her deal - that was previously heavily defeated - through Parliament MPs and peers will also get a vote on any delay Talks have been continuing with the DUP and Tory Brexiteers who voted against the deal The government could seek to hold a third "meaningful vote" on the withdrawal agreement next week But the speaker has said he will not let MPs vote again if the question is exactly the same The UK leaves the EU on 29 March with or without a deal, unless a delay is agreed On Monday, the Speaker said he would not allow a third "meaningful vote" in the coming days on "substantially the same" motion as MPs rejected last week. What Bercow ruling means for Brexit Who is the Speaker and why does he shout order? Brexit: What could happen next? How could Article 50 be extended? Mr Bercow declined to discuss the reasons for his decision when questioned by the BBC, as he made his way in to Parliament the following day. Media captionCommons Speaker John Bercow is questioned on Brexit vote decision Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay suggested a third vote on the Brexit deal could take place next week - after Mrs May has sought a delay. On Mr Bercow's ruling, he said it was important to "respect the referee" and abide by his decisions - but, he added, the Speaker himself had said in the past that if Parliament was guided only by precedent then "nothing ever would change". Mr Barclay suggested that MPs would "find a way" to get another vote, if the government manages to persuade enough of them, including the 10 Democratic Unionists, to change their mind and back the deal. What is the EU saying? At a press conference in Brussels, Mr Barnier said it was up to the 27 EU leaders to decide whether to grant a delay, based on what was in the "best interest" of the bloc. But for a longer delay "there needs to be a new event" or a "new political process" - so that "we are not back in the same situation as today". "Extending the uncertainty without a clear plan would add to the economic cost for our business but will also incur a political cost for the EU," said Mr Barnier. "It is for the British government and Parliament to decide very quickly what the UK wants to do next." Mr Barnier also warned that UK MPs voting against "no deal" would not prevent it from happening, saying that "everyone should now finalise all preparations for a no-deal scenario." BBC Europe editor Katya Adler said the EU had "little trust" in the prime minister, with some leaders wanting to see proof from Parliament that MPs would support a longer delay before the EU signed up to it. She said there was "irritation" that those at Westminster appeared to be "inward-looking" and were not taking into account the cost of a delay to the EU. She said the EU's final decision on a delay may not be given this week, with talk of an emergency summit on 28 March. Earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would struggle until the last possible moment to achieve "an orderly Brexit", saying the interests of Germany, Britain and the EU were at stake. Taoiseach (Irish PM) Leo Varadkar and European Council president Donald Tusk released a joint statement after their meeting in Dublin. "They agreed that we must now see what proposals emerge from London in advance of the European Council meeting in Brussels on Thursday," it said. What about the opposition parties? Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the Speaker's intervention showed Mr Bercow was "ensuring Parliament is taken seriously". He said he had spoken to Conservative and Labour MPs about a so-called Norway-Plus style of future relationship with the EU - a closer one than Mrs May's deal would bring about - calling it an "interesting idea" which had not got his "complete support". When asked about another referendum, he said: "The issue has to be put to the people after Parliament has made some kind of decision." He said a public vote had to be on a range of options, saying: "It cannot just be on Theresa May's deal or Remain - there has to be some choice for the people." Mr Corbyn also held "constructive" talks with the Westminster leaders of the SNP, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and Green Party about the potential to unite around a closer future relationship with the EU, a Labour spokesman said. Reality Check: What is the Norway model? What happened with Brexit last week? But Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru's Westminster leader, suggested the Labour leader had not really engaged during the meeting with the case for giving the public the final say on Brexit. "We were there to talk about a People's Vote and the only thing I felt he was comfortable talking about was Labour's version of Brexit," she said.

  12. The main suspect in the mosque shootings that killed 49 people in New Zealand on Friday has appeared in court on a single murder charge. Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, appeared in the dock in a white prison shirt and handcuffs. Further charges are expected to be made against him. PM Jacinda Ardern said Mr Tarrant had five guns and a firearms licence, adding: "Our gun laws will change." Two others are in custody. None of those detained had a criminal record. Mr Tarrant was remanded in custody without plea and is due appear in court again on 5 April. Follow our live updates First victim identified as anxious families wait for news What are New Zealand's gun laws? Speaking at a news conference on Saturday, Ms Ardern said that the guns used by the attacker appeared to have been modified, and that the suspect's car was full of weapons, suggesting "his intention to continue with his attack". Media captionJacinda Ardern: NZ "gun laws will change... now is the time" The prime minister also spoke about the importance of reuniting relatives with their loved ones "as quickly as possible", and said that bodies were still being removed from the Al Noor mosque - the site of the first attack. She added that financial support would be made available to those who had lost someone on whom they were financially dependent. The first victim of Friday's attack has been named by his family as Daoud Nabi, 71, who moved to New Zealand from Afghanistan in the 1980s. The identities of the other victims have not yet been released. A total of 48 people were wounded in the shootings. Among those injured are two young boys - aged two and 13. Eleven of those being treated at Christchurch Hospital are in a critical condition in intensive care, chief of surgery Greg Robertson said. Bangladesh, India and Indonesia all say some of their citizens were killed in the shooting and others are unaccounted for. On Saturday, Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel expressed "revulsion" at this "act of terrorism" and voiced solidarity with the victims. Media captionNew Zealand police chief: 'Unprecedented, abhorrent event' "We have welcomed new people into our city. They are our friends, they are our neighbours," she told reporters. "We want to come together to support them." Witnesses 'prayed for end to bullets' Mosque attacks mapped Bangladesh cricket team escapes shooting She added that flags would fly at half-mast on government buildings in the city "until further notice". Security remains tight across Christchurch. All mosques in New Zealand have been closed. How events unfolded The first report of an attack came from the Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch during Friday prayers at 13:40 (00:40 GMT). A gunman drove to the front door, entered and fired on worshippers for about five minutes. The gunman, who live-streamed the attack from a head-mounted camera, identified himself as Brenton Tarrant in the footage, which showed him shooting at men, women and children. The gunman is then said to have driven about 5km (three miles) to another mosque in the suburb of Linwood where the second shooting occurred. One witness described how one of the worshippers had managed to disarm the man, who ran to a waiting car outside. Social media's role in Christchurch attack UK mosque security under review It is not clear where the arrests were made. Police say they recovered firearms from both mosques, and explosive devices were found in a car belonging to one of the suspects. Media captionPictures on social media show an arrest being made after the New Zealand mosque shootings According to the latest census figures, Muslims make up about 1.1% of New Zealand's po[CENSORED]tion of 4.25 million. Numbers rose sharply as New Zealand took in refugees from various war-torn countries since the 1990s. The main suspect The main suspect had "travelled around the world with sporadic periods of time spent in New Zealand", Prime Minister Ardern told reporters. "I would not describe him as a long-term resident," she said, without formally identifying him. "The offender was in possession of a gun licence. I'm advised that this was acquired in November of 2017," Ms Ardern said. She said New Zealand intelligence services had been stepping up investigations into far-right extremists, but added: "The individual charged with murder had not come to the attention of the intelligence community nor the police for extremism." What is known about the suspects? In the wake of Saturday's attacks, social media accounts in the name of Brenton Tarrant were used to post a lengthy, racist document in which the author identified the mosques that were later attacked. The man says he began planning an attack after visiting Europe in 2017 and being angered by events there. The document is called "The Great Replacement" - a phrase that originated in France and has become a rallying cry for European anti-immigration extremists. What are New Zealand's gun laws? The minimum legal age to own a gun in New Zealand is 16, or 18 for military-style semi-automatic weapons. All gun-owners must have a licence, but most individual weapons do not have to be registered - New Zealand is one of the few countries where this is the case. Applicants for a firearm licence must pass a background check of criminal and medical records, including factors such as mental health and domestic violence. Once a licence has been issued, gun-owners can buy as many weapons as they want.
  13. Theresa May says she understands "the voice of the country" on Brexit, despite her own vocals wavering. Battling a sore throat at Prime Minister's Questions, she insisted the UK can still leave the EU with a "good deal" and said she would vote later to rule out a no-deal exit on 29 March. But Mrs May warned MPs they faced "hard choices" having rejected her deal for a second time. Jeremy Corbyn called on the PM to change course after the defeat. He said the deal had been "decisively rejected" and it was time for the prime minister to change her red lines. After the Commons rejected Mrs May's Brexit deal by 149 votes on Tuesday, the EU has warned the risk of a "disorderly" Brexit has never been higher. Its chief negotiator Michel Barnier said the EU "cannot go any further" in trying to persuade MPs to back the agreed terms of exit and the UK had to break the impasse. LIVE: Reaction as MPs prepare for no-deal vote Brexit: What could happen next? Adler: EU points finger for Brexit deal defeat MPs will vote at 19.00 GMT on whether to block the UK from leaving the EU without an agreement later this month. Wednesday's vote only applies to the 29 March deadline and would not rule out the prospect of a no-deal exit later this year, if Parliament is ultimately unable to agree a way forward. May and Corbyn clash over Brexit deal The Labour leader said the prime minister was in denial about her own deal's lack of support after MPs rejected by a margin of 149 votes. He suggested his alternative plan to remain in a customs union was "the only show in town". "Isn't it time she moved on from her red lines and faced the reality of the situation she has got herself, her party, this parliament and this country into?" he said. But dismissing calls from Tory MPs to embrace a no-deal exit now, Mrs May said her deal remained the best way to honour the 2016 referendum result. "I may not have my own voice but I understand the voice of the country," she said. "I believe we have a good deal. No deal is better than a bad deal but I have been working for us to leave on 29 March and leave with a good deal." What's the response from the EU? The EU has urged the UK to take "responsibility" for its actions. "Again the House of Commons says what it doesn't want," Mr Barnier told the European Parliament. "Now this impasse can only be solved in the UK. The EU, he suggested, had gone "as far as it possibly can" to satisfy MPs' concerns over the agreement, particularly in relation to the backstop, an insurance policy to stop a hard border on the island of Ireland. "If the UK still wants to leave the EU in an orderly manner, this treaty is, and will remain, the only treaty possible," he said. MPs will vote on a government motion, which says the Commons "declines to approve leaving the European Union without a withdrawal agreement and a framework on the future relationship on 29 March". Mrs May has said Tory MPs will get a free vote. That means ministers and MPs can make their own mind up rather than following the orders of party managers - an unusual move for a vote on a major policy. The no-deal debate will begin after Chancellor Philip Hammond's Spring Statement economic update. Leaving the EU in 16 days' time remains the UK's default position under the law, unless talks are extended. If a no-deal exit is rejected, MPs will vote on Thursday on delaying Brexit by extending Article 50 - the legal mechanism that takes the UK out of the EU. The EU has said it would need "a credible justification" before agreeing to any extension. Such a move would have to be agreed by every member state. Although the PM managed to convince about 40 Tory MPs to change their mind, it was not nearly enough to overturn the historic 230 vote defeat she suffered on the same deal in January. Despite Tuesday's defeat, the BBC News political editor Laura Kuenssberg said, there were ministers who believed it could still ultimately prevail as other options gradually fell by the wayside due to lack of parliamentary support. What alternatives are being discussed? Labour wants no-deal to be "taken off the table" and is likely to back an amendment - a legislative tool - tabled by MPs Jack Dromey and Caroline Spelman ruling out the UK leaving without an agreement at any stage in the process. Disgraced MP back to vote on Brexit deal The papers: Brexit 'mayhem' and 'the house of fools' Sturgeon: 'People must decide' Shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey told the BBC that Parliament would increasingly "set the agenda" if the government was not in control of events. She said No 10 should consider giving MPs a free vote on the full range of options for the UK's relationship with the EU - including Labour's own plans for a customs union.
  14. An Ethiopian Airlines jet has crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board. The airline said 149 passengers and eight crew members were believed to be on flight ET302 from the Ethiopian capital to Nairobi in Kenya. It said 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, eight Americans and seven British nationals were among the passengers. The crash happened at 08.44 local time, six minutes after the months-old Boeing 737 Max-8 took off. It is not yet clear what caused the accident. Live updates Air disasters timeline An eyewitness at the scene told the BBC there was an intense fire as the aircraft hit the ground. "The blast and the fire were so strong that we couldn't get near it," he said. "Everything is burnt down. There are four helicopters at the scene now." First word of the crash came when Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed expressed his "deepest condolences" on Twitter. In an earlier statement, the airline said that search and rescue operations were under way near the crash site around the town of Bishoftu, which is 60km (37 miles) south-east of the capital. "Ethiopian Airlines staff will be sent to the accident scene and will do everything possible to assist the emergency services," the statement added. China's state media has confirmed that eight of the passengers were Chinese.. What do we know about the plane? The 737 Max-8 aircraft is relatively new to the skies, having been launched in 2016. It was added to the Ethiopian Airlines fleet in July last year. Boeing said it was "deeply saddened" by the crash and offered to send a team to provide technical assistance. Another plane of the same model was involved in a crash five months ago, when a Lion Air flight crashed into the sea near Indonesia with nearly 190 people on board. Investigators say the pilots of the aircraft had appeared to struggle with an automated system designed to keep the plane from stalling - a new feature of the Boeing 737 Max. The anti-stalling system repeatedly forced the plane's nose down, despite efforts by pilots to correct this, findings suggest. There is no suggestion that the Ethiopian Airlines jet suffered similar issues on Sunday. What about the airline's safety record? Ethiopian Airlines flies to many destinations in Africa, making it a po[CENSORED]r carrier in a continent where many airlines fly only from their home country to destinations outside Africa. It has a good reputation for safety, although in 2010 one of the company's aeroplanes crashed in the Mediterranean Sea shortly after leaving Beirut. The incident killed 90 people on board. The airline's highest fatalities prior to this came in a November 1996 crash during a hijacking on a flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi. One of the aeroplane's engines stopped when the fuel ran out and although pilots attempted an emergency water landing, they hit a coral reef in the Indian Ocean and 123 of the 175 people on board were killed.

  16. Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro has vowed to defeat a "crazed minority" that wants to remove him from power. In a challenge to opposition leader Juan Guaidó, he called for "anti-imperialist marches" on Saturday to coincide with anti-government protests. Mr Maduro's comments were the first since Mr Guaidó defied him and returned to the country on Monday. Separately, the US said it was considering imposing new sanctions to pressure Mr Maduro to give up power. The US envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, said it was hard to see a role for Mr Maduro in future democratic elections. "If he wanted to build a democratic Venezuela, he had the opportunity to do so, but he did not," Mr Abrams said. Venezuela crisis in nine charts Venezuela's exodus Supporters stand by Maduro As head of the opposition-led National Assembly, Mr Guaidó proclaimed himself Venezuela's interim president in January after the legislature declared Mr Maduro's re-election last year illegitimate. How did Mr Maduro address the Guaidó challenge? He has accused the opposition of trying to organise a coup with US help. Speaking at an event marking the sixth anniversary of the death of his predecessor and political mentor, Hugo Chávez, Mr Maduro said: "While a crazed minority continues with their hatred, with their bitterness, it's their problem. We won't pay attention to them, compatriots." In front of gathered military personnel, he added: "We're going to stop them in their tracks, their work, the national union. "Let the crazy minority continue with their bitterness, we'll defeat them. For Chávez we'll do it, for the great history of the country we'll do it." Why is there pressure for change? Venezuela's political crisis has been sparked by an economic meltdown in which hyperinflation has hit salaries and savings, leading many to flee the country. The country is also suffering chronic shortages of basic items including food and medicine. While international pressure on the president has steadily increased - more than 50 countries, including the US and most Latin American nations, have recognised Mr Guaidó as interim leader - Mr Maduro has dismissed all calls for him to step down. Backed by China and Russia, Mr Maduro insists he is the only legitimate president. His call for marches on Saturday sets the stage for more confrontation with Mr Guaidó, the BBC's Will Grant in Caracas reports. Given the potential for clashes, the authorities will, no doubt, try to keep the two sides well apart, our correspondent adds. On Monday, Mr Guaidó arrived back in the capital, Caracas, despite the threat of arrest after he defied a Supreme Court-imposed travel ban on leaving the country. He visited several Latin American countries to lobby for international help. In talks with public sector unions on Tuesday, he has vowed to stage strikes to help bring down the government. "They thought the pressure had already maxed out... They better know that the pressure has barely begun." 'Gold talks' In a separate development, Mr Guaidó asked America's Citibank to delay by 120 days Venezuela's scheduled repurchase of gold that Mr Maduro's government put up as collateral for a loan in 2015, Reuters reports. It says Mr Guaidó's advisers have met Citibank officials to ask them to hold off claiming the gold that Mr Maduro's government committed to give up if it failed to pay off the loan in March. Citibank has not commented on the issue. The reported request is seen as Mr Guaidó's strategy to protect Venezuela's foreign assets and prevent the Maduro government from selling off gold reserves to raise much needed hard currency. The government appears to be feeling the sanctions imposed by the US. Reuters reported last week that the government had taken eight tonnes of gold from Venezuela's central b ank to sell abroad to raise cash.
  17. Venezuela's self-declared interim leader Juan Guaidó has arrived back in the country's capital, Caracas, where he risks arrest. TV footage showed him being received at the Simon Bolivar International airport by diplomats from the US and EU nations. Outside the airport he greeted a huge crowd of supporters who chanted "Guaidó, Guaidó" and "Yes we can". "We know the risks we face," he said. "We are strong, we carry on." Mr Guaidó defied a travel ban when he left Venezuela last month. He has called on President Nicolás Maduro to resign, and urged Venezuelans to join anti-government protests planned for Monday and Tuesday. The two men have been at loggerheads for more than a month. While Mr Guaidó has been recognised by more than 50 countries, Mr Maduro, who is backed by China, Russia and Cuba, insists he is the only legitimate president. Mr Guaidó left Venezuela to make a tour of other Latin American countries. Why is Mr Guaidó's return risky? After Mr Guaidó proclaimed himself interim president on 23 January, Venezuela's Supreme Court - which is dominated by loyalists of President Maduro - placed a travel ban on the opposition leader. Venezuela crisis - in nine charts The country that has lost three million people Supporters stand by Maduro Mr Guaidó defied that to attend a fundraising concert in Colombia on 22 February organised by billionaire Richard Branson. Mr Guaidó also led efforts to try to bring humanitarian aid, mainly donated by the US, into Venezuela. The government of Mr Maduro rejected the aid, arguing it was part of a US plot to overthrow him. Genuine help or Trojan horse? The president ordered the closure of borders with Colombia and Brazil. Soldiers blocked the aid trucks, leading to clashes that left at least five dead. The Maduro government alleged - without giving any evidence - that the aid was contaminated and carcinogenic. How likely is his arrest? Flouting the travel ban imposed by Venezuela's highest court is likely to get Mr Guaidó into trouble. President Maduro told ABC last week: "He can't come and go, the justice system had banned him from leaving the country. I respect the laws." The Venezuelan government has in the past not been shy to arrest opposition leaders. Lawmaker Juan Requesens has been in jail since August over his alleged role in a drone attack on President Maduro. Others have left the country for fear of arrest. However, when the secret police arrested Mr Guaidó on 13 January, he was released after half an hour. Communications Minister Jorge Rodríguez said that arrest was "irregular" and the agents involved were dismissed. Mr Guaidó appears willing to face the risk of arrest, saying: "If the regime dares, of course, to kidnap us, it will be the last mistake they make." He also tweeted [in Spanish] that he had left instructions for his international allies for "a clear route to follow" should he be detained. What would be the likely reaction to his arrest? EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said that any measure that would put at risk Mr Guaido's "freedom, safety or personal integrity would represent a major escalation of tensions". Diplomats from the Lima Group, a bloc of 14 Western countries created to tackle the Venezuelan crisis, said last week that "serious and credible threats" had been made against the life of Mr Guaidó. It said "any violent actions against Guaidó, his wife, or family" would be met by all "legal and political mechanisms". How secure is President Maduro? While international pressure on President Maduro has steadily increased, the Venezuelan leader has dismissed all calls for him to step down and denounced them as attempted coups d'état. According to Colombian migration officials, more than 500 soldiers have deserted from the Venezuelan army over the past weeks. While this is a sign that lower-ranking soldiers are suffering the same hardships - shortages of food and medicine - as the general po[CENSORED]tion and are willing to follow the more than three million people who have left Venezuela over the past years, there is no sign yet of a general switch in loyalty. Government loyalists also still control much of the judiciary and the National Constituent Assembly, a body Mr Maduro set up to bypass the opposition-controlled legislative. However, there are unconfirmed reports that Diosdado Cabello, the National Constituent Assembly head, sent his two children to Hong Kong, which the opposition thinks is a sign of growing nervousness. The government also appears to be feeling the sanctions imposed by the US. Reuters reported last week it had taken eight tonnes of gold from the Central Bank to sell abroad to raise badly needed cash.
  18. Theresa May has promised MPs a vote on delaying the UK's departure from the EU or ruling out a no-deal Brexit, if they reject her deal next month. Mrs May made a statement to MPs about Brexit on Tuesday, amid the threat of a revolt by Remain-supporting ministers. The PM has promised MPs a meaningful vote on her Brexit deal by 12 March. But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused the prime minister of another "grotesquely reckless" Brexit delay. LIVE: Reaction to May's Brexit update Kuenssberg: Not quite 'simples' Reality check: How could Brexit be delayed? Pound rises amid Brexit delay speculation Brexit: All you need to know The prime minister said she will put her withdrawal agreement - including any changes she has agreed with the EU - to a meaningful vote by 12 March. If that fails, MPs will be offered two separate votes: One, on the following day, on whether MPs support a no-deal Brexit - so the UK would "only leave without a deal on 29 March if there is explicit consent in the House for that outcome" If that fails, then MPs will get a vote by 14 March on requesting an extension to the two-year Article 50 negotiation process to delay EU withdrawal beyond 29 March "Let me be clear, I do not want to see Article 50 extended," she told MPs. "Our absolute focus should be on working to get a deal and leaving on 29 March." Any extension should not go beyond the end of June and "would almost certainly have to be a one-off", she added. Brexit: If not 29 March, then when? Mrs May said an extension "cannot take no deal off the table", adding: "The only way to do that is to revoke Article 50, which I shall not do, or agree a deal." Extending Article 50 would require the unanimous backing of the other 27 EU member states and, she said, she had not had conversations about it with them. Mrs May repeatedly declined to say whether she would vote against a no-deal Brexit, and whether Tory MPs would be whipped to vote for or against it. By the BBC's deputy political editor John Pienaar Theresa May's big concession - and it was a significant tactical retreat - was about buying herself more time. So now, under the threat of maybe 15 to 20 ministers rebelling, the prime minister's promised MPs an opportunity next month to rule out a no-deal Brexit, and force a "limited" delay in leaving the EU. Without that promise, there's every chance those unhappy ministers would have joined other MPs in voting to rule out no-deal and delay Brexit anyway. She did not offer ministers freedom to vote as they choose. So now the (potential) rebels must decide whether to hold fire for a fortnight, while she tries to get terms in Brussels she can sell to the Commons - hoping Brexiteers ultimately back her deal as the best Brexit available. Call it "running down the clock", or "kicking the can down the road", if you like. But kicking and running has been Mrs May's best hope for months. Will Tory rebels accept May's offer? Several Remain-backing ministers were threatening to resign, so that they could vote for a cross-party amendment aimed at ruling out a no-deal Brexit, when MPs vote on a government motion on Wednesday. Conservative Caroline Spelman and Labour's Jack Dromey said they "welcomed" the PM's statement but they would still table amendments paving the way for a bill to extend Article 50. They will then "seek assurances from ministers during [the] debate to secure confirmation of the prime minister's commitments, which we hope will mean we will not push our amendments to a vote", the pair said in a joint statement. Another of the MPs behind the amendment, Conservative Sir Oliver Letwin, had earlier said there was no need for it now, because the prime minister's statement "does what is needed to prevent a no-deal exit on 29 March". What about Tory Brexiteers? Jacob Rees-Mogg, the chairman of the European Research Group of Leave-backing Conservative MPs, said: "My suspicion is that any delay to Brexit is a plot to stop Brexit. "This would be the most grievous error that politicians could commit." And the Democratic Unionist Party? Speaking after a meeting with Theresa May, DUP Leader Arlene Foster said the PM had to deliver on her commitment to get legally-binding changes to her EU withdrawal agreement. "Experience in Northern Ireland has shown that extending deadlines does nothing to encourage a deal," she said. The EU had it "in their hands" to avoid a no-deal Brexit, she added, and come up with a deal which MPs can support. "It's time for Dublin and Brussels to be in a deal-making mode," she said. Jeremy Corbyn said he had "lost count" of the prime minister's explanations for her "grotesquely reckless" Brexit delays. "The prime minister continues to say it is her deal or no deal, but this House has decisively rejected her deal and has clearly rejected no deal," he told MPs. "It is the prime minister's obstinacy that is blocking a resolution." Mr Corbyn says Labour will get behind another EU referendum if the party can't get its own Brexit proposals through Parliament on Wednesday. If Mrs May's Brexit deal gets through Parliament next month, Labour wants it to be put to a public vote - with remaining in the EU as the other option. Put May's deal to public vote - Labour SNP reaction The SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford said Mrs May "could not be trusted" not to "dodge" another meaningful vote. He said: "It's the height of irresponsibility for any government to threaten its citizens with these consequences. "Rule out no deal, extend Article 50, but do it today - this should not be left until the middle of March." But Mrs May surprised the House by quoting a TV advert in her response: "If he wants to end the uncertainty and deal with the issues he raised...then he should vote for a deal. Simples."

  19. Pope Francis has promised concrete action to tackle child sex abuse at the end of a Roman Catholic Church summit on paedophilia. Clergy guilty of abuse were "tools of Satan", the Pope said, pledging to face every case with "utmost seriousness". Child sex abuse, he said, reminded him of the ancient religious practice of child sacrifice in pagan rites. Bishops would now review and strengthen their guidelines to prevent abuse and punish perpetrators, he added. Pope admits clerical abuse of nuns including sexual slavery Child sexual abuse and the Catholic Church: What you need to know Pope Francis condemns child sex abuse and Church cover-ups The Pope spoke largely in general terms, but victims and survivors of abuse will call for detailed practical steps to be announced, says the BBC's Vatican correspondent, James Reynolds. What did the Pope say? "I am reminded of the cruel religious practice, once widespread in certain cultures, of sacrificing human beings - frequently children - in pagan rites," he said at the end of a four-day summit held in the Vatican. "The inhumanity of the worldwide phenomenon becomes even more serious and more scandalous in the Church, because it is in contrast with its moral authority and its ethical credibility. "The consecrated person, chosen by God to guide souls to salvation, lets himself be subjugated by his own human frailty, or by his own illness, thus becoming a tool of Satan. In the abuses, we see the hand of evil that does not spare even the innocence of children." He said victims would now be the priority and promised an end to cover-ups, saying all abusers would be brought to justice. How will Pope Francis deal with abuse in the Catholic Church? US ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick defrocked over abuse claims He also stressed child sexual abuse was a universal problem - "a widespread phenomenon in all cultures and societies". What happened at the summit? The unprecedented conference - called Protection of Minors in the Church - was attended by the heads of all national bishops' conferences from more than 130 countries. They were handed a roadmap of suggestions on how to handle abuse, such as drawing up mandatory codes of conduct for priests, training people to spot abuse and informing police. Those gathered at the Vatican also heard testimonies from victims - who mostly remained anonymous - telling stories of abuse and cover-up. One woman from Africa said she had been forced to have three abortions after being abused for years as a teenager by a priest who refused to use contraception. Another victim from Asia said he had been molested more than 100 times. How much pressure is the Pope under? When he was elected in 2013, he called for "decisive action" on the issue, but critics say he has not done enough to hold to account bishops who allegedly covered up abuse. Thousands of people are thought to have been abused by priests over many decades, and the Church has been accused of covering up crimes around the world. Survivors say new safeguarding protocols are needed to protect minors. Pope Francis is under serious pressure to provide leadership and generate workable solutions to what is the most pressing crisis facing the modern Church - one which some say has left its moral authority in tatters.
  20. The Geneva Motor Show 2019 is getting closer, which is why most of the major car manufacturers in the world are prepared with the intention of making all the attendants fall in love to increase their sales. Great news is expected for this exhibition of vehicles, in fact, it is even rumored that there will be interesting surprises as far as automotive technology of the future is concerned. One of the many renowned brands that will attend the event is Bentley, and this time they announced one of their most important SUV models, especially because they combine comfort and comfort very well with power and speed. Mechanical qualities of the vehicle We refer to the famous Bentley Bentayga Speed, a model belonging to the SUV segment that comes with a considerable increase in power, and such is its importance that it is already considered the most powerful and fastest SUV today, in fact, exceeded in speed tip to the also recognized Lamborghini Urus, which reaches a speed of 189.5 miles per hour; that is why the first thing to emphasize is precisely the mechanical qualities of this sporty SUV, which in this case has a powerful W12 engine of 6.0 liters of double turbo, which generates an impressive 626 horsepower and about 900 Nm of torque . The total speed of this car is calculated at around 305 kilometers per hour, and can reach 100 kilometers from zero in just 3.9 seconds. The engine is supported by a transmission of the six-speed automatic type. The superior aesthetics of the car Externally this car is distinguished from anyone, starting with the elegant lines of its hood in descending mode from the windshield to reach the car grill. We also have to take into account the rounded headlights, which feature the advanced LED technology, and the daytime running lights of the car. In the same way we will find the fog lights located in the lower part, just to the sides of the bumper. The grill is trapezoidal in shape and on top of it the slogan of the manufacturer is appreciated. In the lower part it has an air inlet that practically crosses the front from end to end, which ensures a greater amount of air to the engine to keep it cool. In the lower part it protrudes a kind of lower lip. When we pass to the sides we will see door locks of the same color of the body combined with the chrome, mirror housings of the same color of the body with an intermittent LED in the center. The lower part of the doors has a very elegant skirt and a platen that goes to the back of the car. The wheels of the car are 22-inch alloy of specific design. We finish at the back of the car where we see an interesting spoiler installed on the top of the glass and which in turn hides a third stop led. The antenna takes the typical shape of shark fin. The brake lights are on led, has rear wipers, two auxiliary lights on the bottom and the stage that ends at the bumper. This car has two exhaust exits. Inside the car Upon entering the cabin, comfortable seats in leather and alcantara are perceived, with diamond design, multifunctional steering wheel, chromed air conditioning outlets, central screen with a complete infotainment system, a metal plate with the inscription "Speed" on the side of the passenger, and another that is illuminated in the lateral crosspieces. Finally it is worth mentioning that, because it is a powerful and fast car, Bentley installed large potency ceramic brakes. This model will be presented fully in the exhibition of Geneva in March.
  21. At least one person has died and several others have been injured in clashes on Venezuela's border with Brazil, local media report. Venezuelan security forces opened fire on a group of people who tried to block them from travelling to the border. President Nicolás Maduro has closed the country's border with Brazil amid a row over the delivery of humanitarian aid. It comes ahead of two rival concerts on Friday on either side of a bridge linking Venezuela and Colombia. An event being held on the Colombian side will raise money for Venezuela, where the opposition says the lack of basic items has left thousands at risk of dying. Meanwhile, President Maduro's government will hold its own concert. Should Branson 'back off' from Venezuela? Foreign aid: Genuine help or Trojan horse? Opposition leader Juan Guaidó and his allies hope to collect the relief being gathered in neighbouring Brazil and Colombia on Saturday, in defiance of President Maduro, who denies any crisis and calls the aid plans a US-orchestrated show. President Maduro has said he could also shut the border with Colombia to stop the opposition bringing in aid. Why are the concerts taking place? The concerts, being held just 300m (980ft) apart, represent two opposing sides of a power struggle between President Maduro and Mr Guaidó, who declared himself interim leader last month and is recognised by dozens of countries, including the US and most Latin American nations. One of the concerts, Venezuela Aid Live, is organised by British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson, who said Mr Guaidó had asked him to set it up. It is being held near the Tienditas Bridge crossing on the Colombian side of the border at Cúcuta. Organisers invited 32 artists including Latin stars Rudy Mancuso, Juanes and Despacito singer Luis Fonsi, and Swedish DJ Alesso. A few celebrities - including Venezuelan-American singer and actress Lele Pons and Venezuelan singer Danny Ocean - and politicians have also confirmed they were taking part. "This concert is a humanitarian concert; every country, all people in the world want freedom," Mr Branson said. "Anybody that does anything for the right reasons is always going to get criticism. The positive thing is that 99% of people around the world are embracing what is going on here today." Following news of the event, President Maduro promised to hold a rival concert on the Venezuelan side of the bridge - a three-day festival which has been dubbed Hands Off Venezuela. The government still has not announced an official line-up for Hands Off Venezuela, but unconfirmed reports claim that about 150 artists are taking part. There are already planes and lorries carrying tonnes of US aid parked on the Colombian side of the Tienditas Bridge, and President Maduro has refused to allow it into Venezuela, saying it is part of a ploy by the US to invade the country. Despite denying that there is a humanitarian crisis at all, President Maduro reportedly received a shipment of aid from Russia earlier this week, according to Russian state media. So how will the aid get in? It is not yet clear. Mr Guaidó has said he plans to get aid into the country on Saturday by urging Venezuelans to mobilise en masse and form "caravans" and a "humanitarian avalanche" at the borders. Venezuela closes border with Brazil Guaidó sets up Venezuela aid confrontation But even with this effort, it is uncertain whether or not aid will be allowed in. A spokesman for Mr Branson told the BBC that he was working with the Colombian entrepreneur Bruno Ocampo to organise the concert and sort out the logistics while Mr Ocampo said the details "remain confidential". What's going on at Venezuela's borders? Brazil, which recognizes Mr Guaidó as Venezuela's legitimate leader, had previously vowed to make humanitarian aid available in the Brazilian city of Pacaraima, to be collected by opposition supporters.
