>> the government is prepared to carry out mass array... >> if you want free press in the new democracy let the journalists live. . >> newly released video showing the gunmen shortly after their attack. getting out of the car and firing on police. >> it just goes to show how much more work we need to do. >> a day after a cyberattack on the military, president obama outlines and the struggle

through a civil war as they try to get through winter. >> thiswe begin in france where people were killed in last week's attacks are being held to rest. jacky rowland has more from paris. >> reporter: 17 were shot dead last week. two were shot police were shot at the charlie hebdo attack. france is still on its highest state of alert.

journalists have been peering this week's issue of charlie hebdo. staff on the paper are determined that it should be business as usual despite the killing of their colleagues. they made it clear they would not be giving in to pressure to those who would like to censor them. >> it's not the front page that the world wanted us to make, but it was the one we wanted to make. it was not the front page that terrorists wanted us to make because there are no terrorists in it. just a man crying. it's mohammed. i'm sorry we drew him again but the mohammed we drew is a guy crying above all. >> charlie hebdo never used to have a massive readership. a lot of readers felt their cartoons were in bad taste but this addition is the most hotly anticipated media events of this year. >> 3 million copies are being published instead of the usual 60,000. newspapers vendors have been

overwhelmed by the demand. >> i used to get five copies here and sell one. i should be getting 40 copies tomorrow, 60 people have paid in advance so i'll be getting more copies in the next few days. >> by wednesday more than 10,000 troops are expected to be deployed in paris and across the country. police say they're looking for six people who are suspected of links to the attackers and who are still at large. jacky rowland al jazeera, paris. >> we're getting a new look at the moments after the charlie hebdo attacks. the two gunmen are seen taking their time getting into a small black car. the car has been stopped by an oncoming police car. the two attackers get out and story firing as the police car backs down the street. the gunmen back in the car firing from car windows.

i spoke with the vice president of intelligence at stat ford, a global intelligence advisory firm. i asked him what he learned from the video. >> reporter: it's frightening from a former police officer and special agent and watching that unfold having performed many protection duties. if you look at it the suspects are very methodical, the younger brothers struggles with trying to replace the magazine in his weapon which shows that perhaps he was not as familiar with the weapon as the older brother was. >> trained or untrained and how much does it matter? >> at the end of the day it really does not matter because they're killers and they were very efficient in what they did. better trained. obviously you can kill many many more. when you look at this and

compare it to, for example the attack on the jewish museum in brussels where you have the operative who appeared to shoot from the weapon. didn't shoulder the weapons or side in to the potential victims, you notice that in this attack where it appears that the shooters were familiar with that that. >> i'm a government, and i call you in to potentially consult with me on how to deal with this what are you tell meg? what do i need to do more of on the intelligence gathering side, human and electronic? >> well, first if you're that private entity or facility you have to make sure that you have active shooter plans in place. everybody has a than place haven where you can go until help

arrives. and a mental standpoint that this could potentially happen. >> four jewish people killed during last week's violence were laid to rest in jerusalem today. they were killed during the attack at the kosher grocery market. >> a large gathering to pay their respects. the majority here are french jews burying their brothers. the israeli prime minister was here too calling benjamin netanyahu for jews to return to israel. a sentiment repeated here. >> jews have the rights to live in many countries and it's a right to live in security. but i believe they know deep down in their hearts they have one country the state of israel, which is the historic homeland. >> and whereas there has been criticism of this message some say netanyahu is using this as a political tool ahead of am

elections but it is a reality. >> i immigrated from france two months ago because it became dangerous for religious jews in france. i felt i couldn't an jew in france. >> even before the recent attacks there has been an increase of french citizens looking at israel as an alternative home. this neighborhood in west jerusalem has become a popular destination for many. all together many peel in many feel that living in france has become less secure for jews. >> reporter: even some of the real estate signs here include french. >> i any what happened this week that people would phone our office in the last days. some of them because they don't know what to do.

it's a new reality. >> reporter: although the increasing fear in france is making many people move here, zionism remains the main reason why they're coming. >> i came here two years ago. it wasn't because of anything. just because i wanted to have family here. and i would be happy here for the rest of my life. it's just for that. now with what is happening in france i feel safe. i don't feel safe in france. >> political and religious leaders in germany are following the attacks. chancellor angle merkel took part of the demonstration to counter anti-islam protests. back in this country president obama has outlined his proposal

to beef up cyber security here in the united states. he reveals his proposed legislation just one day in the twitter. >> there is not much that they can greet on these days, but they seemed to find common ground when it comes to improving the nation's cyber defenses. the hacking of sony pictures followed by the self-proclaimed cyber jihad has created a rare consensus among democrats and republicans that new laws are needed to counter cyberattacks. at a leader at the white house the president christed cyber security as one area that should unite the divided government. >> it just goes to show how much more work we need to do both public and private sector to strength our cyber security, to

make sure that families bank it's accounts are yeah. >> theaccount are safe. >> target bontens used in denial of service attacks. the sell of bontnets would be outlawed 37 and toughened laws of stolen bank at and credit card numbers. the president fleshed out thinks proposals in a speech at the national cyber security center outside of washington. >> the bottom line we want cyber criminals to feel the full force of american justice because they're doing as much damage if not more of folks involved in

conventional crime. >> reaction from republican lawmakers were positive. >> that's an area that i think we can work together on. >> one of the tricky issues is how much i couldn't laws would intrude on americans' private lives. it raised concerns from civil libertarians who were afraid it would amount to too much government snooping. >> north korea's deputy ambassador was pushing for negotiations today. the hacking of sony picture and north korea's nuclear program james bays joins us now from the united nations. good to see you. let's begin with north korea's nuclear program. the ambassador made an interesting offer today.

>> yes, this was a rare news conference. the north koreans are addressing the press at the united nations not something that they do very often, but they have a new deputy ambassador, who is clearly empowered to speak to the press. they've made this offer before, and it's been rejected by the administration by the state department but they're coming back again and saying that if the united states was to cancel planned military exercises, then north korea would go ahead and stop any further nuclear tests. let's listen to the offer. >> we propose toed united states would suspend military exercises, and if this is the case, we will temporarily suspend nuclear tests.

>> this proposal is to create an atmosphere which will be conducive to peace and stability stability, which will in turn contribute and promote dialogue and cooperation with regard to cogent issues. >> he said what will happen if his offer is accepted, but already the administration has signaled that it won't accept this. what will north korea do then? he didn't say. >> the united states has accused north korea of being behind the hacking of sony pictures. what did the ambassador have to say about those accusations? >> well, so many of the questions were about that subject. he asked us not to ask him questions and then answer the

questions. he asked all the questions at the beginning and then he gave us the answers and said initially, i'm not going to talk about any of this hacking. at the very end was a lot of pressing this was his reply. >> my country had nothing to do with the sony hacking. we do not want the united states to provide aid we even requested to the united states to be joint in this investigation. >> what an intriguing idea, a joint u.s.-north korean investigation into the hacking of sony. i think that's probably a non-starter. >> that's james bays for us at the united nations. thank you. as we mentioned earlier president obama spoke with congressional leaders trying to find common ground with the new

republican-led congress. the president met with the top four democrats and republicans from both the house and the senate. mike viqueira joins us live now from the white house. mike did anything productive come out of this meeting? >> tony, this is the equivalent of a boxing match when fighters come to the middle of the ring and touch gloves. and the referee will say when the bell rings come out swinging. the leaders sitting in the west wing talking about what they could get done this year. the house of representatives were trying to defund the president's immigration executive orders. there are a whole host of issues where they're at each other. as a matter of fact, the president has issued some five veto threats congress is barely a week old. on the immigration reform, defunding that, the house is trying to do. the keystone pipeline, as we know trying to turn back, repeal or replace the affordable

care act otherwise known as obamacare. all those moving to the congressional republican congressional congress. all of them now at a veto threat. prospects are not all that great that things will get accomplished. >> what is the likelihood that anything gets done in the 114th congress? >> well, you know, you remember after the elections the president appeared in the east room to admit that he did, in fact his party got a shellacking as he once put it. one of the things that he wanted to do was go to the republican congress and get authorization for military action against isil. he relied on those authorizations from 2001 and 2003. now he wants another one and both sides now talking about the prospect of an agreement on that there is also talk of agreements on taxes although a lot of people consider that to be a long shot, two big trade bills in the offing, one in the

asia pacific region, and one in europe. cyber security something that both parties are interested in. >> mike viqueira, thank you. in indonesia search teams may have found a fuselage from the crash of airasia. officials say that the fusel large mayage may have be found. 162 people were on board the jetliner when it crashed two weeks ago. coming up on the program don't bet on the cost of oil rising any time soon. ali velshi has the numbers that suggest the low prices could last well into this year. and a farm former new york

detective ony police cannot be trusted to investigate themselves

>> secretary of state john kerry has promised numbers u.s. funding to hope those fighting in pakistan. they outlined the new aid package. >> we announced yesterday over $250 million that will be allocated specifically to assist with relocation, providing shelter, food, and the rebuilding of those areas where this military operation is taking place so that something comes in behind the military operation that can build a more sustainable is the of possibilities for the citizens. i welcome leaders about combatingal terrorists.

>> the state department added to the list of global terrorists. pope francis is in sri lanka calling for harmony and reconciliation after civil war. [music] >> the pontiff received a colorful welcome to the capitol of colombo today. in his first address he urged the government to investigate the civil war that ended in 2009 saying that the island cannot heal until the truth is known. we have more. >> reporter: he's the first pontiff to visit since john paul ii in 1995. pope francis received a big welcome in sri lanka with the 2100 salute and dozens of elephants. it's his first stop on a week-long tour of asia.

>> it was the first time i saw the pope. >> he's bringing peace to sri lanka a message. he is on a mission to bring peace to the world. >> i hope for peace and religious peace in our country. >> thousands of sri lankans waiting for for a glimpse of the pope. >> this is a first visit to the country in 30 years. >> the pontiff visit came at a crucial time for sri lanka. he'shethat is trying to move on

after 30 years of conflict. >> the process of healing also needs to clue the pursuit not for the sake of reopening old wounds but as a necessary means of promoting justice healing and unity. >> speaking of we building, the pope emphasized promoting human dignity, respect of human rights and inclusion of each member of society. the pope will visit a holy shrine in northwest sri lanka. >> opening statements began in

in a trial for a man accused of silk roads. ross olbrecht made millions running the size, accused to be the most profitable marketplace. >> traders are now talking about storing oil for when the rices go up again. where are the drums where is the bottom and. >> this is not a drum, by the way. people are looking for places to store oil. they're knowing it will go up. it could go down to $40 or $30 but no one thinks that's sustainable. whether you buy that oil store

it and then sell it at a higher price. this is a 44-drum barrel. oil contracts are 44,000-gallons of oil. which is a thousand barrels. where do you put a thousand barrels of oil? there are storage tanks across america that hold this stuff and they're not full. some of them are a third full. they're making money now because people are looking to store oil. where else do you store oil? tankers. you fill a big tanker at put it out to sea. large tankers are contracted to hold oil. $45.89 is what it came down to. it fell to $44.20 today before picking up and settling at $45.89. oil is down as we talked, an incredible 57% since peaking at june at $107 a barrel. we have information why this is happening, the u.s. energy

information administration said that producing 9 billion barrels a day. this is mostly because of all the extra shale oil that's fracked from texas, north dakota and oklahoma, and we're going to have more of it in 2015. >> that's a glut. that's an oil glut. where do we go from here? >> venezuela wants to know the answer to that question more than you do because they have 90% of their budget from exported oil. the president of venezuela has been trotting around to opec countries asking to please cut the production of oil. the united arab emirates said not going to happen. we're not cutting those things. saudi prince said not--we're not going to get to $100 oil again.

so all of that continues to hurt the price of oil. and there is nothing that we can't do. we can't store gas and oil. enjoy it while you got it. >> let me just ask you something here. this is what you do. why do prices necessarily have to go up again somewhere in or about not to $100, but why do they have to go up? >> good yes why can't it stay at $30 and $40? >> yes. >> the cheap oil that you get in texas where you drill it into the ground. not expensive. you bought it when it was cheap. ing in isnobody is going to produce oil at a loss. when you look at the shale in north dakota, that's $55 a barrel. oil sand is similar, it's expensive oil. when you go into deep sea drilling it's more than that yet.

when do you it in south sudan where you need security, that costs money or the niger delta. as go down in price people will stop producing. the department of energy said that 2016 we'll get to $70 a barrel. that's about the price--$50 to $70 is where everybody makes money. >> all right ali can't wait to see the program tonight. ali velshi tonight on al jazeera america. lots of talk about bipartisanship in washington this week. we'll talk with democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee and see how realistic that is. and in power politics, both men from the 2012 g.o.p. presidential ticket are making news about a potential run in 2016. that's next.

>> returning now to our top story. france remains on high alert

after last week's deadly attacks. thousands of soldiers and police have been deployed to protect people in public places, but some people question whether that is a proper strategy to prevent evacuation. >> reporter: on parole at france's most popular tourist destination, the eiffel tower. 10,000 soldiers have been mobilized to protect public places. many support the idea of having soldiers on the street. >> it is safe. we need protection. when we see what happened last week it makes us foal uncomfortable. >> the government decided to put 10,000 soldiers across france to protect people like you. do you think that's a good idea? >> yes, i imagine they need the tourists. there are a lot of tourism here. yes, i think it's a great idea to protect the tourists, but more important to protect the

people here. >> now you know that the soldiers are around. i think it feels safer, to be months. >> it will protect tourist destination and other public places but protect sensitive religious sites including synagogues and mosque. >> flooding the streets with soldiers is not an effective strategy says some. >> this is necessary to show that we're going to do something against what could happen. >> there are questions about how long soldiers can be kept on the street. but with the police saying that they're still looking for six members of a cell connected to

last week's attacks public support with the visible presence of security personnel is likely to remain high. al jazeera paris. >> in today's power politics two-time failed presidential effort mitt romney seems determined to build a 2016 campaign. >> david, mitt romney is now ratcheting this up to higher gear. in the past two days he has calls dozens of former aides and donors telling them that he's serious about a 2016 run. the presidential nominee said that he would almost certainly join the presidential field that would likely include jeb bush. the former governor of florida. as one republican strategist noted today with bush campaigning with romney, both

front runners are former governors with pampered childhood and famous fathers. romney's first hurdle in this race is starting with one of the themes that hurt him back in 2012. the perception that romney is a flip flopper. >> would you consider running for president a third time in in 2016? >> no, i've answered that question a number of times as you know, the answer is no. >> no, he would not consider it. why? >> i'm absolutely convinced that there are other people who would have a better chance of becoming the nominee and becoming the next president of the united states. better than i would have. >> better than he would have. those statements would likely appear in attack ads perhaps from bush or others before the first primaries. republicans have been urging congressman paul ryan to

consider a 2016 presidential run. ryan was romney's running mate and several times in the past few years he would stay out if romney ran again. well yesterday ryan issued this statement to nbc news stating quote, i have decided that i'm not going to run for president in 2016. it's an amazing amount of encouragement, but i have gotten but i feel like i'm in a position to make a difference where i am. governor christie, another president 2016 candidate, he was captured in an awkward hug with the owner of the dallas cowboys. the cowboys, they were buried by the green bay packers. so ryan posed with his family at the game tweeting, governor christie, do you need a hug now? #hashtaghashtag #go tag go.

>> how could the u.s. not be there when representatives are such beacons of freedom and lack of censorship as journalists punishing russia was there. journalists punishing turkey, egypt, enough said. >> on capitol hill the obama administration's absence prompted a remarkable reaction from a member of the congressional far right. republican randy webber issued this tweet. quote, even adolf hitler thought it was more important to get to paris. obama could not get there for right reasons.

he also mismiddle misspelled adolf. webber apologized. finally stay on capitol hill. where there is a new weekly video series explaining how congress operates. the congressman once worked as as a magician that paid for his college. he started with a card trick. >> i'll give you five seconds to remember what you see and then ask a few questions. ready? one, two three four, five. >> now we may be edited for time but watch this. five cards, blank on one side. blue on the other. right? >> what color were the backs. if you said blue, wrong they're

actually red. if you got the ace wrong and the backs wrong you probably didn't see the royal flush that i have on the other side. politicians too often say one thing but actually do another. >> how does he do that? congressman with slight of hand and the congressman said he'll be explaining congress through magic tricks every week. that is today's power politics. >> well done, well done. david shuster with us. thank you. good stuff. the presidential task force on building trust between task force on 21st century police after the shooting in missouri, new york cleveland. the task force is expected to send policing reform recommendations to president obama. in march the activists are saying much of the problem stems from police departments investigating their own shooting cases.

america tonight spoke with one man who knows how insular the law enforcement world can be. >> well, my name is frank serpicola, i'm a resider new york city police department. >> frank serpi co never thought he would still be fighting for police reform. but the whistle blower said that little has changed over the years. >> i say this with all sympathy and brotherhood and camaraderie that maybe all these people that are protesting are not really wrong. >> from ferguson, missouri, to new york city, protest against the excessive use of police force have brought thousands of people to the streets. >> you expect to gain the

respect and the hearts and minds of the people while you're killing their children and their families? >> we caught up with serpico. now 78 years old in up state new york. these days he tends to stay out of the limelight speaking on camera for the first time in years. a far crime from 1973 when his story was made into an oscar oscar-nominated film. his role famously portrayed by al pacino. >> in the 1960s p serpico was behind one of the biggest scandals the nypd ever faced. >> i testified before a grand jury exposing widespread corruption throughout the department. >> he said the insular police culture is responsible for the problems that we see today. >> it's this blue wall that we talk of. that you just don't talk about what other cops do.

>> the new york native said that the closed-off culture plagues police departments across the country, and can only be cracked if police officers are held accountable to others outside of their circle. >> the district attorney work with the police. they work hand in hand every day. that's why you need an outside investigators. >> al jazeera, new york. >> and you can catch the full story a little later on america tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern time and 6:00 p.m. pacific. days of heavy snowfall have left thousands of refugees fighting to survive. and egypt's former leader hosni mubarak will get a new trial. what that means for his jail sentence.

>> several people were killed when a passenger bus was hit by

shelling in ukraine. it's another deadly breach of cease-fire. today's violence prompted foreign ministers from germany and france to cancel peace talks set for this week. >> there has been an escalation of conflict in the east. but the bus has been the worst of it and a tragic outcome to the cross fire. the people's hubble of donetsk is denying that it's forces were involved. but the ukrainian military are pointing the finger, a and they're saying what effectively happened are operatist fighters aimed rocket launchers at a military checkpoint at a place 22 miles south of donetsk and this civilian bus was passing through the area at the time and

took a direct hit. the figures are a little bit up in the air. we've seen one report that 61 wounded. and i've seen another report that 10 dead and 15 wounded. but the reality is this bus was effectively blown apart. the windows from blown out. large pool of blood by the doors of the bus and a degree of panic ensued. this is a small 30-seater inter city bus. it appears that an ultimatum may have been issued, that the separatists have offered an ultimatum to pull out of the airport or they will be obliterateed. the events on monday seem to follow that direction. >> deposed and in prison, former president hosni mubarak could

soon be a free man. the only conviction keeping him behind bars. >> reporter: after three-year legal fight egypt's hosni mubarak could well be a free man. those who followed the trial closely say that mubarak has almost served three years in jail already and this was about clearing the president's name. >> this is a very significant actually because accepting mubarak means a lot for the process right now. >> in august 2011 former president hosni mubarak appeared in court for the first time. charged with corruption and the killing of protesters in the

the 2011 up rising. it was a sight that many egyptians never thought they would ever see calling it the trial of the century. in june 2012 he was found guilty not for ordering the killing of protesters against his regime but not doing enough to prevent their deaths. he was handed a life sentence, but the appeals court then granted a retrial. although the first retrial hearing took place in may the following year, the main testimonies and proceedings happened after the july july 3rd military coup. then on november 28th a court threw out the charge relating to the killing of protesters. mubarak was still being kept in custody for an embezzlement. that too has gone to retrial and a court could set him free. it's been arguebly the most to you beauturbulent year in

egyptian history. >> syria six people have died in the last few days after a snowstorm where thousands of children remain stranded in areas where families are unable to keep them warm. we spoke with the directer of office of emergency programs for unicef. i asked her what the agency has done so far and what they need to accomplish this winter? >> we tried to scale up our delivery and reached--we set a target of 1.3 million kids. in the next couple of weeks to reach. we've reached 900,000. >> can you get there? >> we can get there with the right type of support but it's a fraction of what is needed. there are 7 million children in need across the four countries that are hosting. >> how much assistance would you have in in order to reach even more of the children who are in need right now?

>> we're 11 million short just for the winter response. >> the winter that we're in currently now. >> the winter we're currently in. we've not been able to scale that up sufficiently. we've seen roads blocked as a result of the snow. access has been difficult. >> you're 11 million short now. >> we're almost 11 million short. we would really need to scale that up considerably, and we've already invested. >> that help has to come from the international community. >> are you disappointed. >> we've had strong support to date but four years in people are getting weary. it's a crisis that requires a lot of more investment to sustain the response needed. governments have done a lot. we've seen a huge response from the turkish government, lebanese the iraqis have

already supported syrian refugees. >> but they're citing strains. we can't continue to take people in and there is no end in sight to this conflict. >> this conflict needs a political settlement that allows people to go home in safety, but in the meantime, you've seen the pictures. we cannot let the children that are here today suffer. we've seen some deaths already. we would like to avoid even more. so we're working with partners to get cash vouchers out to families so they can feed them, and especially on the winterization effort. >> an actor in syria an is challenging that country's president to come out into the cold in his video challenge it's going viral. >> reporter: the actor is wearing shorts and a tank top as he gets covered in snow. he challenges the syrian president to walk out in the cold for a few minutes with his children. he said assad should come out from his hide out and see what conditions are like for people

living in refugee camps. this is as much a criticism of assad as it is a plead for help. using the ice bucket challenge he pierce water on himself to pours water on himself pleading for help for the refugees. >> one two. >> they live stream the event and volunteers stood outside for more than two hours in shorts and t-shirts. they took on dares for donation donations. that often involved throwing know on each other. last year the group raised some $22,000 in donations. >> ines. appreciate it. thank you. coming up on the program it is illegal in iran for people musicians to perform in public, but one group's bold action online has others defying the band. that's next.

then "real money with ali velshi." >> what france could have learned from america that may have prevented all the violence and social intelligent that's plaguing that country now. now go inside the deep web and the underground economy operating there almost in secret. all that and more in real money. door of justice >> she became legendary... >> the finer the store, the bigger the challenge >> al jazeera america presents the life and crimes of doris payne

primetime news. >> welcome to al jazeera america. >> stories that impact the world, affect the nation and touch your life. >> i'm back. i'm not going anywhere this time. >> only on al jazeera america.

>> so there is growing support today for an iranian musician who says he's being banned for well, from leaving the country. now women there are now breaking the law and posting videos of themselves singing in support. that's a problem in the country. roxana saberi has more. >> a man was barred from leaving iran earlier this month. the authorities are upset that his group posted videos of itself featuring women who are singing solos, which is wrong in iran. now women are in a defiant act of song.

this video of an iranian group singing a love song has 165,000 hits on youtube. >> when women sing their solos they're breaking the law. >> women cannot sing solos in iran. why? because men cannot hand it will because men might get excited so that's why it's forbidden for iranian woman to sing. >> the group's leader says those solos are the reason he's barred from leaving the country. his passport was confiscated at the airport two weeks ago. he said, based on the explanation they don't want us to show women covered in hejabs singing solos. [ woman singing ] >> they're singing solos. some without revealing their

identities. others show their faces. this woman wrote how is it possible to for bid women's voices. women find their own way to shout and sing. our country could become more beautiful if our voice was not forbidden. the videos are getting thousands of likes and shares. iranian american journalist created it for women inside iran to show photos of themselves without the required hejab. they said the videos highlight the same thing. more iranian women want more freedom to express themselves. >> they're just trying to say that sing something not forbidden. if men cannot hand it will, why stop us from singing or showing our hair? >> the head of music in iran's culture ministry said that women must respect the law. iranian media asked him whether he was being punished for leaving the group. he said even broadcasting clips of it is prohibited.

they said women who want to sing like this should sing only in front of other women. >> the restrictions on women singing in public in iran began after iran's 1979 islamic revolution. before that iran had many famous women singers. like gogoshe who now lives in exile. when i lived in iran, many agreed that women should not sing in public in iran but they can sing public if they sing back up. >> get out. >> i agree. >> roxanne san in a. thank you. bus drivers said a shortage of spare parts and engine oil is a problem. >> reporter: these men look like they know what they're doing but they tell us they're bus drivers trying to fix their vehicle because if they don't no one else will.

not only is there a shortage of spare auto parts and motor oil there is also not enough car mechanics. it's a do it yourself new reality as they hammer away at a transmission box while others examine the foreign-made engines. dollars are regulated by the government in venezuela and with the shortage of cash importers cannot buy spare parts manufactured abroad plus is a 60% inflation. one of the highest in the world. >> you need dollars to find replacement parties that's a problem because of inflation. >> president monudo was a bus driver back in the '90s and they thought he would help immediately. >> people said that he was a driver like us, but it seems that he forgot about his roots because he has done nothing for us workers.

>> public buss are aging rapidly partly because of bad road infrastructure. passengers say that tickets are not expensive, in fact, they're government controlled, but the state of some vehicles is appalling. >> the newspapers say that there are no spare parts. it's not just vehicles. my washer machine broke down, and i can't even repair it. >> some people here are telling us at least 20 or 30% of the buses in caracas are currently not working because they don't have spare parts. but if this driver does not take his bus out to work, his family does not work. he recently scotch taped the broken steering wheel. >> you call distributers, and they promise to call back with spare parts but it rarely happens. all of last year we could not find anything for this bus.

>> if imports do in the resume, the whole system will collapse. the vehicle's body may have been made in venezuela, but everything that makes it work comes from abroad. >> that is all of our time. "real money with ali velshi" is next. >> well, well france could have learned something from america that could have kept the violence from happening. and the slowdown with crime and punishment. and the internet that you don't know the underground economy that you can't reach with a search engine. i'm ali velshi and this is "real money."
