away. he's got businesses around the world. but that doesn't mean the end of the war on drugs as we speak. >> the u.n. security council demanded aid groups be allowed into syria, they are urged to allow the convoys to the cities and skeptism remains whether or not that is actually going to happen. >> the world needs to stand united so that there are no more broken promises and no more delays and no more concessions with cruel and shameless attacks. >> 9 million syrians need humanitarian aid. >> at the vatican, the pope advanced the bishops and helping

>> but the people here disagree. >> people have the president they want. for me he's -- >> honoring those that killed at the square. they echoed her. she promised to help guide the people and open road ahead to build the ukraine they want. the future is yet to be decided. >> so tomorrow is a new day here in the ukraine, a day when the leadership battle is continuing and the parliament is taking charge in the absence of the president. >> thank you, jennifer. now the nick, protestor taking control control of the palace and he was there, fill us in,

nick, on what you saw there today? >> today is the day that the opposition declared a vick ri and taking control of the country, the police simply disappeared and the government not on the streets and nowhere it is more obvious than the president's house. they came feeling proud and feeling free. they came to see a home they consider a symbol of a man's corruption and now belonging to the people. for years you crane president yanz living in a 50 # o -- 500 acre estate and boy he lived. birds, gardens and golf course, the tennis court. >> i can't imagine how we are grateful for the victory of the people who have been fighting

for three months for this. this man would never go out of here. he would kill anyone to stay here. >> until today, the president's security forbid anyone from coming close and now they are walking around like they own the place. >> do you feel it is yours now? >> the property of the people. >> not the president? >> not the president, yes. >> the people are waiting to get in and the people defending independence square are defending properties they consider theirs and inside you get a sense of how luxury the way that the president lived. stained glass window and lark screen tv and this is a spa and here is a giant tub. it is this luxury that they were

fighting against. we met him yesterday on the front lines. for two months he manned the ber kayeds and he had a couple of close calls. you are being here instead of the president, that is what you have been fighting for? >> yes, we are happy that the property belongs to the people, the people belong here. >> now it is his to walk through and others. she brought her 7-year-old son here as a good-bye to a president she passionately a posed. >> i am happy he ran away from here. i hope he never comes back. >> she hopes that the sacrifices guarantees a future democracy for her son. >> we, we hope for better future

for our children. they died for our country and democratic ukraine. they died for future of our children. >> for so many that future began today. today was proof that the sacrifices were not in vain. so much sacrifice, and while the fight is certainly not over, today all those people in the compound today and all of the people in this square behind me declare add victory. >> nick, what happens to the presidential palace, i am struck you are walking through there, and what are the plans and are there guards there and trying to regain the control of the grounds? >> one of the people called it a museum of corruption and it has visiting hours. as it was getting dark we were asked to leave politely and saying tomorrow morning 9:00

a.m. everyone come back. i don't think there is a long term plan for the house, but definitely a sense that the president had taken it from them and they are going to take it back. what is amazing about the compound today, no looting, absolutely no tension at all, no fight over the compound in the morning and by the time we got there we simply walked in and for the tens of thousands of people coming there was a carnival atmosphere, feeling like a picnic at the park on sunday and feeling the pride they could do that. you saw the man opening up a garbage can or a bag, he wants it to be clean. they feel like they own the property and never giving it back. >> nick, live for us in the ukraine and jennifer, thank you both. >> now to a protester that spend

is day with the crowds in kiev and rallying in independence square and joining us via skype. i want to know your thoughts about the developments and how struck are you that the former prime minister released from prison and spoke to the crowd? >> yes, today was a big day of mourning, a lot of people that died were buried today. as we were getting the news from the parliament, the news is encouraging. the new speak of the parliament and the release of the prime minister and dismissal of viktor yanukovich. i could feel it in the crowd. people are happy that prime minister release and however most of the people happy if she stays out of politics. >> hold on, why is that. the impression is that she's popular and arriving to the

stage to cheering crowds. >> yes, the speech was very good. very emotional. but tough keep in mind initially when the protests started she was not there and the big picture that mentioned by a journalists is brought up later in december and a big scandal around that, many of the people coming thought they were not there because she was in jail. she deserves to be out of prison, for sure, but many people want for her to stay out of politics. she was the prime minister twice and complete chaos. >> let me ask you, concern of not a central figure in the movement that can step in and unite the country. >> i don't agree with that.

also we have a russian speaker and received, so we have leaders and plenty of new leaders. we want to see new faces in the ukraine in politics. we want to build a new country. we are not fighting here just to get the politics back to power, we want to see changing the system and the rule of voice established. corruption is a big issue. we have to curb that. something has to be done. ukraine is 144 on the international. >> how can any one person fight the machine of corruption that plagues the country? >> we have success stories. i believe that in georgia is a very good role model, he achieved that. i don't see a reason that the ukraine can't achieve that. the new leader have to be

accountable. this is accountability to the millions of people that are demonstrating during the past three months and this is what we are demanding. >> what happens next to the opposition movement, it is looking like they are getting what they want, the president fled the capitol, the parliament called for him to step down, what happens next for you guys? >> it is not over. we have not heard the response of putin and he's concerned about what is happening. this is very dangerous. we still have to keep in mind that 30% of the ukraines is part of russia. we depend on russia for the energy. we don't know what his response will be. we have days to go and viktor yanukovich still, and still many issues that have to be sorted out. it is not a victory yet at all. >> thank you for your time

today. >> thank you. >> the day's activities in kiev are getting a thumb's up in washington. we have reaction from the american officials. >> the obama administration welcoming the developments in the ukraine and taking a step further of what they want to see there, the changes and early elections and saying what it wants to see next is a government of unity in the ukraine and stressing in the statement, but stresses it wants a unified ukraine. >> russia is throwing their support behind the ukrainian president. >> former ukraine president

viktor yanukovich taking to -- prime minister taking to the streets. she was sentenced to 7 years behind bars and she's maintained her innocence. today after being set free, she spoke to thousands of people at the independence square. >> making a fortune on the back of the ukrainian independence and made her move into politics. she was elected in 2004 in what many called a rigged election and calling on the ukrainians to take to the streets. we are joined from vancouver and analyst that lived and worked in the ukraine, thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. you speak with her twice, do you think she actually could become

a serious con tenteder in the presidential elections there? >> watching her today, i think all indications that were she's fully expecting to not only run and be elected as the president. she's very calculating and vindictive and the first thing she's going to want to do is lock up viktor yanukovich. she made a fortune from insider information that she gained as a businesswoman and tycoon, so i think time has moved on since she's been in imprisoned. a lot of the young ukrainians are saying she's not their first pick. >> even if she runs, how likely is it we'll see free and fair elections in the ukraine? >> an i'm glad you brought that

up, in the last elections that we observed, we arrived three months before the election and things were sewn up and rigged. the presidential elections are now going to be in may and there is a lot of work to be done to fix things up and reform the election commission, to fix the laws, the jurydemandering. >> o what do you think about president viktor yanukovich, are the days numbered or resuming the power? >> i think he's a goner. he's dispiezed in the ukraine. i think his fatal mistake was ordering the use of fire against

the protestor. >> michael, we appreciate your time tonight. >> in south america a similar crisis is taking place. up next, al jazeera america's coverage continues, we go to venezuela where protests are continuing. ♪

what is this place? where are we? this is where we bring together the fastest internet and the best in entertainment. we call it the x1 entertainment operating system. it looks like the future! we must have encountered a temporal vortex. further analytics are necessary. beam us up.

♪ that's my phone. hey. [ female announcer ] the x1 entertainment operating system, only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. >> welcome back. turmoil from kiev to venezuela, where the opponents are taking to the streets. it is not always peaceful. today they have clashes. since the unrest began, 8 people lost their lives. the venezuela president accused opposition of trying to stage a coo with support from the united states. they expelled three american diplomats and asking president obama to talk about the

country's crisis. the protests started efarlier i the month. this man has become one of the main faces of the opposition, he was detained earlier in the week. today angry people took to the streets demanding his release. the rally not going unanswered and the government put out their supporters. >> we see the very tense day here in venezuela where thousands of supporters of the opposition and the president is on the streets. the police forces would clash with the opposition groups. it is generally a peaceful day. a few isolated incidents around the country and here in the

city. the idea is that both of the sides getting their people on the streets and showing the other side how much support they have. we had important speeches by one of the leaders in the opposition and calling for unity. perhaps upping the tone a little bit of the rhetoric and challenging the president to put on the boxing gloves and come to the ring and millions of venezuelians are fighting alongside him and the president is standing up and talking to his supporters and showing the hands made bombs and made by the opposition and yudz r -- used against the venezuelian authorities and calling for a day of speaking, talking, a day of peace, next wednesday when he wants all sectors of society and

autoelementing to come together to find peaceful solutions to the cone fliflicts in venezuela saying that united states the funding the opposition groups an inviting president obama or the secretary of state john kerry to sit down with him and he'll present the evidence of the u.s. involvement in the opposition movements in venezuela. it is a case of both sides sitting down analyzing the turnout at the two big rallies here today and finding out where they stand and seeing what or how the other side will responsibility to the movements here today. >> venezuela is a country of 29 million dopeople. the hand picked successor was

elected president last april. he beat his opponent by only 2% of the vote. venezuela's plagued by crime, theft, kidnapping and murder. government says that the homicide rate is 39 people per one hundred thousand and watch dog groups are saying closer to 70 people. the murder rate in the u.s. is less than 5 per one hundred thousand. in iraq, it is 22. by late last year the inflation reached 54%. the highest when he came to power in 1999 and highest rate in the world. the response is seize the large largest chain of stores and force it to cut the prices. there is shortages of basic goods and lack of jobs. the number of jobs are within the government and causing a burden. we have more on the economic

troubles. >> venezuela has the world's largest oil reserve, and they have a population of roul roughly 29 people and the gdp is double that of the opec members and why aren't they cashing in on the oil. the oil production is 2.5 milli 2.5 million barrels per day. new production facilities cost billions of dollars and venezuela has issues. according to foshs.com -- so a the government is unable to turn a profit, also, as part of a

pact that the former president made with other caribbean nations subsidized oil is flowing to cuba and jamaica and haiti. now venezuela has been a top supplier to the united states and with the recent boom in north america lead to experts to lows and venezuela borrowed between 40-50 billion dal dollars from the chinese. they are in the process of paying them back in oil, roughly three hundred thousand barrels a day going over and the increased shipping costs are keeping the price per barrel down and not leaving room for the giant to make money on the raw resource and combined with the continued decline of the currency and the fact they impact all the

consumed goods means it is a while before things turn around in venezuela. >> well, protesting are continuing in venezuela, there is a message from prison to encourage the allies to continue to protest. the opposition leader little noun to the world until a week ago. >> known to the supporters, leaving behind a final message and turning himself in earlier in the week. the venezuelian government issued an order for my arrest. >> the tweet with the video featuring him and the wife retweeted over 175,000 times. he later passed a note during a prison visit and urging the demonstrations to continue against the government.

the couple may have been mocked for the ken and barbie good looks but the tearful good-byes is a powerful social media message. at 42 years old and coming from the venezuela's first president he's a blue blood and ed caged in the u.s., the background is different from the former president, or current president. lopez became the mayor, a municipality in 2000. chavez is gone and the government is equally weary of the politician, one emerging as a top opposition figure. >> now the michael shifter, a policy sensor focussed on the

issues in the western hemisphere. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> how important is are the issues in venezuela? >> the protests are pretty predictable. the situation has been deteriorating since the new president a year ago. and the people in lines if r the basic goods and inflation 56%, crime out of control, they have reached a sense of reaching a limit and so the conditions are so severe, so dire that i think it is a matter of time before you kind of saw this response and people going to the streets. >> how did it get so bad so quickly. the president in office for about a year. >> well, things were not great when he took the office.

chavez spent a lot of money on the campaign to be re-elected and he was in october 2012 and the set up piece show thad the government is spending a lot more than is coming in and the oil sector that it depends on is performing badly and this is a country with a lot of commitments and pledges and subsidies and overseas as well and really hit very hard when he came into office. so he has really lacked the political skills and the charisma. that is very, very important to hold the things together. >> the difference between these two leaders and whether you think he's taking movement seriously? >> he doesn't have the skill.

he was very astute and shrewd and connected the venezuelians. the president president doesn't have the background or the experience. there are fashions of the opposition competing for the power and he's got his hands full. >> when you think about the world's response to this and the united states and latin american countries, are they trying to ease the tensions there? >> i think that everybody is looking and watching with great concerns and hoping things are going to fizzle out, die down and fade away and the protests will reside and things getting back to normal. i think it's been a very tip ed response by the neighbors.

venezuela is a country of the left, they are supplying cuba and sustaining cuba's economy and sympathy with cuba, especially in the face of the u.s. embargo and the governments are reluctant to criticize him and there is a strong leftist sector in the latin american countries and the response is moderate and calling for calm and dialogue and support for the government. >> okay, mike, out of washington, d.c., thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you very much. >> every government has a duty of maintaining public order, including the protestor and reframing from violence, and the government's use of force. it is one of the many issues

coming up here, and we have another guest in venezuela, natalie, a restaurant owner and increase in crime has her fearing for safety and the future of her business, she's joining us live via skype and thank you for being with us. i want to know what it is like to run a business in venezuela. >> hi, thank you for this space. it is really, really hard from our perspective because the law, it is almost like the law of the government is against people who want to have a business in venezuela. >> when you say against, what do you mean by that? >> there is a law from last year that says that everything that the employee says is true. so tough have all the paper work

showing whatever they are saying is not true. you cannot fire anybody. so they cannot show up to work and the law says they can do that. you cannot fire them. >> you still have to pay them if they don't show up to work? >> of course. you cannot fire them. that is new? that is not normal from the years past? >> that is last year. there's a new law this year and that says they give you the amount of -- they give the price of selling your things. you have like a maximum of the prices that you can put on your products depending on what they are saying. so you have the employee's

problem and now what they are saying, what the most money that the biggest price you can put on whatever you are selling. doesn't matter food or clothing. >> with all of the shortages and the fact you cannot get supplies or food and how do you eat or keep the restaurant open? >> magic. you have to watch people with the backs of the supermarkets and seeing what they have, where do you get it? you have to run, leave what you are doing to run and make the line for two hours, three hours to get the things they are going to give you. one meal, one meal is the thing you can take. i have two restaurants. so imagine the magic we have to do maintain the menus or whatever you are selling. it is hard. >> what about the concern, the

safety concerns and what about the violence there and how much does that affect your daily life? >> for one, it is even scarey, everybody is scared for me to talk today. i'm not saying anything that is a lie. i'm more scared to leave my house. every day you pray to come home alive. you leave your job and train to get home alive. you can have any surprise on the way to work or your house. >> have you been attacked? >> many times. many times. >> what happened? >> what? >> what has happened? >> you are driving your car and there's a motorcycle near you, they knock on your door, put a gun on your face or head, give me your watch, your cell, give me your wedding ring. whatever you have they want or take you and your car or whatever. >> wow. >> everybody has experienced

this. reporters have lived this. >> so aside from staying at home and not going out, what else do you do or can you do to protect yourself? >> well, you have to have, like, a better car, you have to have a 4 wheel drive and you can move fast to get away from those situations. it is going to happen sooner or later, it is going to happen. >> what will happen sooner or later? >> they'll steal your things or it is something that is going to happen. it has happened to 90% of the population. >> what are you doing to for your family, are you hoping to leave the country or new elections will be called and the

new leader will fix the problems? >> well, it is too hard for somebody to come in and fix all the problems like this. it is not going to happen that fast. i know people are protesting and thinking it is going to happen that fast. it is not going to happen. this country needs a lot of work from education, long term plans, it is not going to happen in a year or two, we need mostly for the people to have arms, guns, and in the hands of those people that are killing our entire country. we need them to stop being so armed. we need somebody to put on pants and try to look up for the best of the country.

the best interest for everybody. >> you have joined the movement and speaking with us tonight, are you worried about criticizing the president? >> i'm not worried at all. i'm not saying lies. i'm working and protesting. just here nobody is going to ask, the thing we are doing right now, the chance for me to speak up it is not going to happen here in venezuela. >> natalie, a restaurant owner in venezuela, we appreciate you sharing the thoughts and experience tonight. thank you. >> thank you. >> and when we return on al jazeera america, a look at the news, hundreds of thousands of immigrants coming to the u.s. are facing longer waits. also, almost 50 years ago the e legend of muhammadali was born.
