is losing support even among his followers. virginia lopez reports. >> it's been two years since huggar chavez died of cancer, his absence is still keeply felt. but for others even in the strong hold of support sadness is given way to disinclusionment faces the highest inflation rate in the world, chronic food shortages and a sense that the golden wears of the revolution are over. continues shortages of anything from mill. to auto parts hit her hard. and she often returns home, empty hanked. >> i personally think if chavez hadn't died many things would be working better.
1:23 pm
our situation is critical, we can't find basic products shortages are becoming too much to bear, and that effects all venezuela. >> and yet only a few doors away, another shop own ever says life here is still business as usual. >> the revolutionaries we are still, some are unhappy within some things i think it is because they are not seeing things clearly. i imagine that's what is happening to many of them, they are unhappy so they think it is mandura that isn't doing things well. many here feel the leaders support has waivers under his successor. he also courted popular support thanks to state run grocery stores medical clinics staffed by doctors and even cash handlers. analysts fear his support base
1:24 pm
will continue to weaken there's a weakening in the support he once had, they are no longer giving answers to needs. eight out of ten feel it is headed in the wrong direction even so, they still continue to be a strong social cultural and political force the wacnesss have to do more with economic policies and the absence of any new messages. >> the respite will be temporary in the face of zeroing inflation and the lack of goods on the shelves. al jazeera. >> all right returning now to argentina and the development in the case of the dead prosecutor. let's try once again to speak to our hat tin american editor, if you can hear me, i was asking you about what the
1:25 pm
family had to say about his death. >> yes, he low this was an important development, the former wife of the dead pros cuter who is also a judge by the way had hired an independent team to investigate the death she had always said that she believed he had been murdered and these results she said confirm that he was murdered she also said that the forensic evidence indicated that the prosecutor did not die instantly. he had agonized that meaned he had suffer to some degree. we don't have any more details but she says this is a very prestigious team, and seems to confirm even what the president had suspected that he did not commit suicide. >> you mow the mysterious death, triggers, of course, a political earthquake in
1:26 pm
argentina what is the reaction likely to be to this new development, what does it mean for the president? absolutely, this seems to just confirm what everybody believes but nobody could prove, and it still leaves open the big $100 million question, if he was question who killed him. in that sense we are still no closer to knowing. some believe the president may have had a hand in the it. others have accuses everyone to the irarian secret service, to members of argentina intelligence service and according to the president were trying to frame her by killing the prosecutor. but still all of this is just hypotheses, no firm proof to indicate either way. >> just briefly remind us of the background to this whole case. this man die add day before he was due to testify before congress that argentinian
1:27 pm
president had compared, to cover up iran's alleged soldierment in the 1994 of that jewish community center in buenos aires. >> exactly. if this had been any prosecutor that lad supposedly committed suicide it wouldn't have caused such a political earthquake, but the fact that he has accused the president of conspiring with a foreign nation to cover up what argentina calls the deadliest attack in history certainly the suspensions at least on the president that she might have had a hand in trying to shut him up. again and government has denies this, and the case was thrown out by a judge just a few days ago so there was no evidence that the president has been conspiring with iran to cover up the bombing but the death of the prosecutor still leave ms. many questions
1:28 pm
unanswered. >> indeed, a lot of questions unanswered. thank you very much indeed for that update. still ahead on the al jazeera news hour, iraqi government forces retake a series of villages as their crucial assault on isil continues. plus, the blockade burden. put pressure on medical services. and in sport, controversy slugger faces come back match for the yankees but how did the crowd react? details in sport shortly stay with us.
1:30 pm
1:31 pm
>> this is another significant development... >> we have an exclusive story tonight, and we go live... >> weeknights on al jazeera america. >> join me as we bring you an in-depth look at the most important issues of the day. breaking it down. getting you the facts. it's the only place you'll find... the inside story. >> ray suarez hosts "inside story". weeknights, 11:30 eastern. on al jazeera america. >> welcome back, you are watching al jazeera live from doha p egypt's interior minister has been replaced as the government reshuffle, he is one of eight ministers who have been forced out of their posts eight new ministers have now been sworn in. libya's national oil company has shut down it will halt all
1:32 pm
air strikes for three days in support of peace talks which have now begun. and the u.n. special envoy has suggested that the ban for a six week hold to fighting is faltering. on the ground, the government planes have reportedly dropped a barrel bomb killing at least 20. more now on our top story in the government reshuffle in egypt. joining us from cairo now. who is a journalist and publisher, thank you for being with us. let's start with the most significant replacement in this government, and that is mohamed ibrahim the interior minister. he, of course, was interior minister under the previous government what message the is egyptian government trying to send by sacking him today. >> i don't think there are any messages being sent, as much
1:33 pm
as getting to the point where the minister of interior was failing to keep the security in the country too much terror attacks taking place. as well as a number of abuses and embarrassments for the state in general whether this the death of a young protestor, or the death of the football fans. in the a recent interior minister dent. again, with the delay of the election it means the president government is going to stay in office for a while but it got to the point where it was no longer possible to keep mohamed imbra home administer of the interior, given his performance. so he had to be one of the six ministers that were replaced. >> the man who replaces mohamed ibrahim who is head of the national security agency, is this good or bad news for
1:34 pm
egyptians who have been seeking more security. >> . >> i haven't really been able to get much information on him. there was an interview with him on an egyptian t.v. channel, in late 2011, but again, it's just too difficult given the nature of security personnel in the country to have a forecast what does the fact that he heads the national security agency, what does that suggest? it is not exactly the n. ts.a., but basically state security. now called national security. i don't know that a replacement can be proud in mind to try and go back to the pre2011 days of mumbarak where
1:35 pm
state security really played very negative destabilizing role because i believe that p president and his team realize that it was a revolution proper, there was no conspiracy theory, and that a return to general practices is going to further destabilize the country. so i am not locking as much as that is the general outlook. and for a president to get 26 more soles the behavior -- >> sorry to interrupt -- >> some people will end foo it a bit odd that this reshuffle, eight ministers replaced that this is happening now just a few days before the economic summit why now? >> as i told you earlier the realization that this is going to -- the government is going to remain in office for some
1:36 pm
time because of the delay of the election, and so they have to proceed with it. and again, i don't think it's doing to have any negative impact on the conference. that the six ministers in total were replaced and two new min tri-s were formed, one for vocational training and education, and the other for population. and six ministers were replaced. the replacement of the minister of interior, and have no negative impact, because basically he was failing to carry out his job. so i don't think there's any negative outcome from changing one just before the conference. >> okay, thank you so much for speaking to us. egyptian journalist joining us there from cairo. >> iraqi government forces have retaken -- have not yet launched an assault against
1:37 pm
fighters inside the city, the offensive which includes shia militias is aimed at driving isil out and surrounding province. reports from baghdad. >> for a nonhussein is the battle cry. the base of operation on the eastern front for key players in this sector are iranian backs hezbollah. and command center nearby, superior minister mohamed haban, a leader of the core militia, confers who is given control of the hezbollah brigades. they have combined with iraqi federal police, special forces and army units. for the biggest defensive since isil seized parts of iraq last june. the troops are backs by air strikes but it's been a slow advance.

1:41 pm
because the explosion was so deep underground. and all five miner airways were damaged every day they go into the mine, not sure they will come back. >> the mine is the biggest and because of it's naturally high levels of methane gas, it's deadliest. it has seen seven major accidents killing more than 300 miners. each time, questions are asked about how safe it is and each time afterward hundreds of miners return to the shaft. >> once again as rescue workers return the bodies of lost miners the local government this time the separatist people's republic appoint admit tee to investigate donetsk eastern ukraine. >>
