governments blames has put out of an east to noise. and bolt is rarely strikes and gaza, killing more than 60 protestant is thousands more forced to sleep and finds and russian president vladimir putin ones the west against it, destroying us with miss janet the beginning in venezuela with both counting is on the way the presidential election incumbents, nicholas, my daughter was seeking a 3rd 6 year term of opinion opposing the folder that has had the old position, gaining ground for the 1st time in his retard diplomat, had window gonzalez is the leading contender to unseat with her. and if he does, it will need to a seismic shift and then his weight and politics. a live in scuffles outside a polling station in the capital, caracas for testers,

demanded to enter the station to witness that those accounts accounting, liberty, and slogans against the government. i saw in demand pnc has more from bogota, neighboring columbia, both of close across venice, when at the end of a very long day of voting, the bold stations have been open for over 12 hours. and there has been a massive turn out of both theirs and what is promising to be one of the most, if not the most consequential action and a a generation there haven't been any major incidents. however, some opposition figures have been bounced up as a minor incidents in a number of bullying stations where they say outside is a drive to slow down the about. but other all, i have been a calm day, a peaceful day of voting across much of the country and also outside of venezuela. here in the capital of columbia,

both bath hundreds of venezuela migraines have k might have come out to, to vote on their small number. i've been able to actually cast their votes because most of them have not been allowed to register. but they have turned this day into a celebration name to an early street bar that has been going out through out the day. and people here value that they're hoping that the police, they call that an eventful political trends formation in the country they hope will allow them to return soon home. enamel is the same as the all of us. colombians were totally excited. we will also happy. this was great for everything, even the economy and, and encourage people to come together. and it was great. this is how things turned out in the end, sadly. but promise us to be the most critical moments of the state accounting of the votes as now on their way. rather than equalize them i do,

or has asked venezuelans to respect whatever results the decision. uh that will be presented by the national electoral counsel at the off position and in particular my the equity in um i tried the driving force behind the candidacy of at the moment. gonzales said that they have an army of electro width and they says in practically all pulling stations across the country to observe the vote, they're not as ask them to get a copy of the original tally sheets that will come from that the both and that they say that their rights do have. so now we're going to have to wait for that, the accounting to continue. and for the 1st bullet thing that will come out from the national move extra channels to allow ever it's on clear how late that will be . alice done that, i'm did this, i'll just see it. i forgot that what design the independence way and it was

a dot economic crisis that says net to hyperinflation. about 8000000 people have left the country. katya lopez hold on has more it's described as the most consequential election indicates, a boat that could in 25 years of socialist rule in venezuela. the stakes are high. many voters line the streets of the capital gusts, waiting for hours to cast their vote. we'll get better here, your secretary, i just hope that everything remains calm and peaceful. and of course, i hope that whenever the results may be that they are accepted with tensions running hi, there was anger and frustration that a one pulling station with people said they were not allowed to go when the good they won't let us in want we want to invite, we want to see a free event as a well, a nation,

not one imposed by late president chavez or president. my brutal despite series of electoral fraud, president nicholas moto says he will respect the election results, correct? one of the cities i recognize and will recognize the electoral media i to the official bulletins and i will ensure they are respected. i call on the 10 presidential candidates on the 38 political policies to respect and declare publicly that they will respect the official results but doubts, link or institutions loyal to the president have not allowed a 1000000. so then as well. and so brought to register and vote it's also board the opposition, primary winter, money equity, no much total from running yet, poll show for replacement. former diplomat, edmondo gonzales has an advantage of at least $25.00 points. the opposition,

some state has the best chance it's had in here in next year. we have denounced for a long time, but these electrons are not trans savings. it's non competitive. but we also believe that the vote we reaffirm the overwhelming will of the people the election as testing model is appropriate on power or something like that movie. and the less what we've seen the signals from some sports people that are different from what we had heard previously saying the results will be recognized and that they will respect the result as and that is precisely what the entire country wants to hear. but last week, my brutal war and that if you were not re elected, the country could face upload path, leading both venezuelans at home and abroad on edge katia, little bits of the young challenges here. but the coy is a professor of political science and the former director of the cost of census america's program to joins us live now from atlanta, georgia. welcome to the program. so how consequential do you think these results

could be extremely consequential. this is the 1st time for quite a while that the opposition has united and is strongly mobilized and organized to challenge nicholas's mother to for the presidency. the opinion polls as your niece program was showing um, you know, predicted uh, an opposition victory. but we'll see. and it's, it's a chance for change of people clearly want change because it is a extremely bad situation for many years now in terms of the economy shortages and, and just dire situations for many people in venezuela. we're seeing large pictures now of the electoral commission as we wait the results. i mean, the opposition might say it's been

a large the on fact election. what do they say that points to that as well. the main candidate, one now position primary was barred for renting maria, according to the child. she's been trying to name a replacement, who is also bar. and the current candidate is the 3rd attempt, but they've had to run a candidate. there been many other kinds of restriction people had been picked up in jail. people who worked for the campaign or support the campaign had been put in jail. and there are sort of tricks the ballot contains, for example, not due to on there multiple times. his picture, other candidates were similar names of similar names to the opposition political party. so that it's, it may be confusing to people. and there has been also a lot of changes of voting places. so people have to stay in line for hours and then they get up there and they find out their voting places actually change

nicholas madera, they would point to years of american sanctions on it say economy. and that's why the country has suffered so much in recent years. well, it's certainly one of the reasons. yes, the sanctions do hurt, but the company was failing, even before the sanctions with a lot of mismanagement by the government as they attempted to nationalize many companies. and this, they use that their main source of revenue for petroleum company, of course spending rather than re investing in it and keeping it up. so it now does newton have the capacity to produce the oil that it wants to. so it was failing before the sanctions and the sanctions made it worse. it should be said that either way they would be

a 6 month transitional period is needed to explain why that is. and i'm not. so if you actually heard that, so the connection we have, let me ask you again just in case, but that would be a 6 month transition period. no matter what kind of cutting tell us a bit about that yes, the government moved up the election so its earlier than normal and but the non duration doesn't occur until january, according to the constitution. so that leaves 6 months. so if the opposition candidate were to win and be recognized by the government as a winner, that would, which is a big question that would still give the government 6 months to make a lot of changes in the they control the, the legislature as well as all of the institution, so there is

a lot of things they could do over those 6 months to try to control the situation before handing power to a president. even if they do hand over power. the, the, the current government governing party still controls the courts of the military, the bureaucracy, the legislature. so, you know, it will be one person coming in as president for the change. so it will require negotiation for this change to happen. so it's, i'm ok thanks very much indeed for joining us here on out to 0. well, these are live pictures of the electoral commission as we wait for the results of the election there in venezuela. and of course, we will bring you that as soon as we get it.

the israel security cabinets has authorized the country's prime minister and defense minister to the 10 minute response to some of these attack and occupied go down heights. benjamin netanyahu met the cabinet on sunday, after returning from the us as well. blaine, the lebanese group has but off for the rockets attack, which kill 12 people is with all has denied any involvement the 2 sides have been exchanging for. for months. i said, bake is in by roots with more reaction on the latest is where these trucks is. it has car that server, the stripes on southern the run, but also a drone strike on eastern limit on routes tend to building was hit, but they are no casualties. no reported casualties are now here's what they have said that they've talked it is where the positions i to is right. the settlement. now the situation here is somewhat tense. now the liberties, foreign minister,
