Justerini :And now the details Venezuela: at least four dead and hundreds injured in border standoff Presidential challenger Juan Guaidó says he will urge foreign leaders to keep ‘all options open’ at a meeting on Monday At least four people have been killed and hundreds injured in a wave of violence that convulsed Venezuela’s border regions on Saturday, as opposition activists tried to defy a government ban and bring food and medical supplies into the country. After the failed attempt to breach government blockades, opposition leader Juan Guaidó declared the fight would continue, and said “we must keep all our options open for the liberation of our homeland”.

Florida senator Marco Rubio responded to Guaidó’s comments, saying he had spoken to regional leaders and the actions of President Nicolás Maduro’s regime on Saturday had “opened the door to various potential multilateral actions not on the table just 24 hours ago”. Although Guaidó did not secure the mass defections he had hoped for, at least 60 border guards deserted their posts and fled into Colombia, as other members of security forces loyal to Maduro used teargas and rubber bullets to force back protesters and halt civilian convoys escorting aid supplies. At least four people were killed and 18 injured by gunfire, according to campaign group Foro Penal, and the town’s hospital was overwhelmed by the influx of dead and injured. The first casualty of the aid delivery attempt had come in the same area on Friday, when a military convoy opened fire on indigenous protesters. Humanitarian aid is much-needed in a country racked by hunger, hyperinflation and food shortages. But opposition leaders also hope their attempt to deliver supplies will undermine Maduro and encourage defections from security forces that have largely remained loyal to Caracas. As violence raged along the borders, Maduro addressed a rally in the capital, insisting he was “stronger than ever” and calling volunteers trying to ship aid “traitors”. He denounced the food and medical supplies as an American pretext to destabilise his government, and told the crowd he had broken off diplomatic relations with Colombia because the country was being used for “attacks against Venezuela”. After his speech, as teargas billowed at the country’s borders, he danced with his wife onstage in a bizarre display of nonchalance. Guaidó, who had declared himself interim president in late January, had claimed a premature victory at about noon local time, announcing that the first aid had already crossed the border from Brazil.

But they went only a few metres inside Venezuela, and by evening the two small trucks loaded with donations had driven back into Brazil, citing security concerns.

At their first summit in June last year, Mr Trump reached a vague agreement on North Korea's denuclearisation, but little tangible progress has been made since.

By the end of Saturday, which the opposition had made a deadline for aid shipments to cross the border, it appeared the two sides had settled into an uneasy standoff.

As of this moment, Ernest is in Mindanao to bring you an update on Philippine’s top mMuslim Rebel. Come in Ernest

Now here’s Claire for the next news:

5. Ernest: good morning Claire! Good morning everyone. Fighter to minister: Philippine Muslim rebel's new 'struggle'

4. Claire: Thank you, Justerini:

hold their second summit in Vietnam later this week. Kim Jong Un is travelling to Vietnam for his second summit with Donald Trump. The North Korean leader was greeted with a guard of honour as he boarded an armoured train in Pyongyang - and his journey is expected to take more than two days. His overseas travel plans are routinely kept secret, but Mr Kim is expected to travel thousands of miles through China as he heads to Hanoi. Other passengers on the luxury train include Kim Yong Chol, who has been a key negotiator in talks with the US, and Kim Yo Jong, the leader's sister. The upcoming summit is expected to see Mr Kim seek a US commitment for an improved relationship between the two countries, likely in the form of partial relief on economic sanctions. It is expected he will try to avoid any concessions on his nuclear facilities and weapons.

Murad has been tapped to lead the majorityCatholic nation's brand new territory in the restive south where Muslims have won new powers and an influx of cash in a push for peace. After decades as a rebel, Murad will need to become a bureaucrat and complete complex projects as chief minister of the body that will steer the new Bangsamoro region until elections in 2022. The son of an Islamic preacher, Murad was orphaned early on as he lost his mother when he was only one and his father at 13. He studied civil engineering at the Catholic-run Notre Dame University in southern Cotabato city, where he learned fluent English. But in his senior year, he dropped out to join an underground movement that he said defended Muslims targeted by Christian paramilitary groups and security forces under former dictator Ferdinand Marcos. He joined the armed struggle first with the rebel group Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) but internal differences led him and Cairo-trained scholar Salamat Hashim to split and form the MILF.

The leaders of North Korea and the US will

Murad Ebrahim's life as the Philippines' top Muslim rebel led him into fierce jungle combat and to meet with Osama bin Laden, but a very different challenge now awaits him: governing.

After Salamat's death in 2003, Murad took over as leader and earned the respect of colleagues for building consensus, observers said.

PAGASA Weather Specialist Aldczar Aurelio said the typhoon might enter PAR either on Wednesday, February 27, or on Thursday, February 28.

Security experts say Murad and the MILF will be hard-pressed to govern for the first time while facing threats from pro-Islamic State groups in Mindanao.

If Wutip enters PAR, it would be given the local name Betty.)

Now let’s hear what the weather system has in store for us. Our handsome weather forecaster EJ Lariza is here to update us in #Weather.

6. EJ Lariza: Thank you Ernest ! Typhoon Wutip might enter PAR on February 27 or 28 Wutip is 1,940 kilometers east of Southern Luzon on Sunday afternoon, February 24, still outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility There is a chance of Typhoon Wutip entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in the last week of February. In a briefing past 4 pm on Sunday, February 24, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the typhoon is already 1,940 kilometers east of Southern Luzon. It is moving northwest at a slow 10 kilometers per hour (km/h). At the moment, Wutip has maximum winds of 185 km/h and gustiness of up to 225 km/h. Since it remains over water, it can still intensify.

But the public should continue monitoring updates in case there are any changes to the forecast. So far, the Philippines has had one tropical cyclone in 2019 – Tropical Depression Amang. The country gets an average of 20 tropical cyclones per year, but PAGASA expects only 14 to 18 in 2019. The number is likely to be below average as the state weather bureau is already in the El Niño Advisory stage, the last stage before declaring El Niño. Below is the estimated number of tropical cyclones for the next 6 months:      

March - 0 or 1 April - 0 or 1 May - 1 or 2 June - 1 or 2 July - 2 or 3 August - 2 or 3

Meanwhile, on Monday, February 25 – a special non-working day for the 33rd anniversary of the 1986 EDSA Revolution – the country will enjoy generally good weather. There will only be isolated light rains in Bicol, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Surigao, Compostela Valley, and Davao Oriental, due to the northeast monsoon or hanging amihan. But PAGASA said there will be "no significant impact."

"I never had a normal life. My dream is for them to experience and enjoy it," he said.

PAGASA earlier said the typhoon would likely just stay near the PAR boundary, without approaching or hitting land.

But the guerrilla leader has lived through too many wars to give up. For Murad, his nine grandchildren are a reminder that there is no alternative to peace.

Clint Bondad to Catriona Gray: 'I wish you the very best' Model Clint Bondad on Saturday said he wishes Miss Universe Catriona Gray “the very best on your path” amid news of their split. In an interview on “Tonight with Boy Abunda” on Friday, Catriona, 25, confirmed that she and Clint had ended their over six-year relationship, adding she intends to stay single during her oneyear reign as the Miss Universe. In an Instagram post showing a video clip of a television interview where he was asked about Catriona, Clint said in the caption: “I stand by all I have ever said about you.” “Man, and here I am working so hard on my bad boy image... You are still the most beautiful woman that I have ever met. I wish you the very best on your path, wherever it will carry you...Truly,” he added. “This is certainly not what we both wanted, but most certainly what we both need at this point of our life.” Clint ended his Instagram post with lyrics from James Blunt’s song “You’re Beautiful”: “But we shared a moment that will last till the end.” Catriona was welcomed home Thursday in the pageant-mad Philippines with a parade through Manila that drew tens of thousands of fans. Asked about the reason for the breakup, Catriona, without giving specific details, said sometimes couples “outgrow” each other. She added she “doesn’t feel ready at all” to fall in love again at the moment.
