he and i recognize and will recognize the electro media, the official bulletins rope, and i will ensure that they are respect that it gets sorted fits in the mind. taking one would do role is a bundled gonzales, his main rival, and a form would diplomats. minivan has been ends up spinning their hopes on to him, to ask them to do real from office and deliver respite from the economic crises. most any time today, more than ever, venezuelans are showing that we a one nation way. and if people they look at the democratic spirit, venezuelans is today more alive than ever. the only important news is the millions, the venezuelan says, throughout the country, exercising their rights to the side. so that a to obviously the tensions are high as opinion folds indicate the possible loss

from a do role. who has a highly questionable human rights record and has threatened violence if you lose is, would most international observers bod, concerns about the elections fan as are growing? if i'm a do real loses, it's good and 25 years of social, the screwed in venezuela. dw correspondent oscar osh land car is in caracas. he told me what 11 years of my daughter will have done to venezuela a yeah, i would still have the not because the regina has been empowered 25 years starting with with charles. and in that time, we have seen that as while ago from the richest country in the region to the pause . but in the last 11 years, things have gone from bad to worse mass protest in 20142017. we sold in a much more repressive government underneath. oh, that's my daughter with pending international investigations of crimes against humanity and human rights violations. but it has been the worst news living

conditions and lack of opportunity that has led almost 8000000. but his way was to leave the country and the largest migration of the region that has ever seen. we are just getting out of a consecutive years of hybrid inflation in the country without any ongoing worse. so correction is rampant and the military still show support for my daughter. so despite all this, there is still a tight grip on power. and we've seen long lines outside the polling stations today . how important is vote or turn out to the outcome of the selection? well yeah, definitely voter turnout is key to make these elections different from before from 2018 back then many political parties boycotted the elections because my models of industry sion band. many of the opposition candidates just like this time uh, but through negotiations, international pressure and with due credit to my people, you know, my title is perseverance. this election will be very difficult to steal. when so

many people are going out to vote, defending opposition. witnesses and will re centers and let not let him know that. so we have also seeing the military for serving the piece and responding accordingly and some, and some violence of regularities. however, something small is predictable. and antonio withdrawal council doesn't give their results. we will not know for sure what the outcome of this election will be. it's also tell us a little bit more about the off position here and their vision for the future of venezuela. well, the vision is to rebuild them as well from the ground up. that means working with communities at the base level to get things running into it cannot make we the officers on proposals to open markets and home things waiting. ones that have left will return hydra united with their families. there's a strong push to 3 political prisoners and to begin the process of amnesty and traditional justice to regain governmental institutions that are currently loyal to

the regina. thank you so much for that update that is data is oscar. thank you very much. appreciate your time let's let's get an update. now on the parents 2024 olympics and day to solve the much anticipated return of us superstar gymnast simone biles. she was competing in the qualifying rounds for the team and individual disciplines overcharged. the vault was typically spectacular bringing the crowd to its feet. but the focus soon shifted to an injury that she picked up in the warm up. incredibly before time gold medalist still tops the all round standings and basketball is another arena in which the u. s. are expected to dominate and the men's competition against one of the real challenges, serbia, it was liberal and james, who goes to us on board. the captain led the way against

a serbia inside that held the lead for much of the 1st quarter. but in the end, the americans had too much fire power. they want it 11084, and from veterans of global sport to a place where teenagers dominate the women's a street scape for final result. highest allow silver medalist in tokyo 3 years ago took a bronze with re well executed tricks to give for the early lead for the japanese gate or took over 15 year old liz. i comma was in the goals that'll position for her 14 year old compatriot. hoko your. she's all what sold the show with a standing last run so plenty to unpack. you're joining me now in the studio. we have anthony howard from dw sports. anthony, welcome back. internationally speaking simone biles, she's the big name that many will know best at the face. they will recognize what does her injury now mean for her hopes of getting

a 5th gold medal. or if you listen to the coaches, you say, look, it's not an option that she's pulling at best just off the table. but you and i were talking about before we came on about the next, like documentary, about how much pain can you guys for what the injury means that she's going to be in pine. and that's up to how she handles that. she's done it before, but she's got 6 days of competition coming up. and then training every single day, there's an old thing and support your best ability. is your availability and the timing of the injuries and they sort of things that will govern how you go. she can obviously out talent, anyone else in the field. she's got the most talent. she's got the most experience and she's got the support, the celebrities of folding out of the grandstands trying to get me her. and that'll be the case all the way through. even with an injury, she's still the best gymnast in, in, in the, in the field. the greatest of all time, right? they say you're getting, it is a lot to live up to. right. it is now i, there's been another good day for the host nation to right scribes. there's, there's a part of the hosting, the olympics that everyone's changed before is like holding a dean,

a pattern by potty and you bring out the main meal. and this as soon as the gold medals start the full list, like the few hope that went well. yeah, you have very much so look, a lot of things can still go wrong. but when athletes start, when he goes, he can feel the organized, the stress comes out of it. gold in the pull to not liam lashawn in the individual . i am an excellent start. i bought the house down just hours ago. another in the mountain boy blocking and that was before this man, 7 foot 6, victor women, yamma came out. that's $224.00, sent them a whole is just an absolute joy. and the friend team won their 1st game against brazil. and if people let that keeps during the stop, how the middles come in, it's about the entertainment, the whole package. and of course, the waiting in the losing. but is there a real chance up against the same usa? and if he's leading the way he can and no one gets near the size hod is concerned. that could be one of these preventing damage to the olympic so, and i'll be right type at the front and motor. and yesterday we were talking about

how rain is in a big problem at these olympics. i understand that that's not so much the case on day 2. not right now. it happens hasn't been running. and now the full cost is the same. what you have for the heat, but you can't wait and can, you should be the next problem. it's going to be 40 degrees down in the south of france, mid thirty's, coming in. the next few dies. but then the ryan is coming back from when i organized this one, this one is going back into the same river side. pollution could be a problem begin, but in between hates going to be the problem for the the distance events and anything outside. but i guess if you wind up against ryan, they'll probably take the heat. so now. all right, well thank you so much for that update that is anthony howard with me in the studio from dw sports, basically and we're going to move on it to some other use. now that is actually no, sorry, that is always about time for in fact, if you want more on sports, we do have a sports live coming up next of all into japanese east sports gamers with
