the world is saying trump is really right at least identifying what's going on and we have to solve it. but you don't solve the problem unless you identify it. >> trump also said hillary clinton lied in that debate, pointing out i.s.i.l. was using him to recruit but it was actually al qaeda-linked al shabaab. trump criticized clinton by what he says pandering to women. >> she's always playing the women card. personally, i don't think anybody but myself is going to be here and i think she's a flaw flawed candidate. you have seen what's happened recently, it's not a pretty picture for her or for bill. i'm the only one who's able to talk about his problems. what he did and what he's gone through i think is frankly terrible, especially if she wants to play the woman card. >> the clinton campaign

responded by saying, hillary clinton with i will not be distd by the opponent. after she responded to a heckler. >> you are very rude and i'm not ever going to call on you. >> the lady was identified as republican state rep katherine o'brien. she wanted to ask hillary about a woman who accused bill clinton of rape in 1989. parliament was won buy landslide and supposed to take office on tuesday, but the topic of tonight's the week ahead. and later, images from the ocean floor, 15,000 feet underwater. a cargo ship that sank on the way to puerto rico.

>> "inside story" takes you beyond the headlines, beyond the quick cuts, beyond the soundbites. we're giving you a deeper dive into the stories that are making our world what it is. >> it's sunday night and time for our regular look at the week ahead. a new and uncertain political air begins this week in venezuela. the new party swept parliamentary elections, with a supermajority of the two-thirds of the seats. paving the way for new leadership. decades of socialist a result, hugo chavez and his successor nicholas maduro. but many of the newly elected

legislators will not be seated tonight. al jazeera's virginia lopez is in caracas tonight and virginia, what has the supreme court given for its reason. >> the supreme court has said they are following up on complaints by a pro-government candidate who claims that eight of these elections were fraudulent. and by fraudulent they claim that there was a lot of vote-buying. and also, a considerable amount of null votes. however, these eight elections have now been reduced to four that are being currently challenged. three opposition and one for government candidate. but like you said, even if just one of these elections was challenged, the opposition stands to losing the

supermajority that it won in december's election. we spoke to one of the legislators whose candidacy could be threatened by this and he said that he was really confused about the whole thing and that he hadn't really been notified formally by the supreme court. and that in fact the very little that he knew, he had learned from local media and even from social networks. so again, the whole thing is quite unclear. now, just to clarify, vote-buying isn't something that venezuelan politicians are completely unfamiliar with. it is rather ocommon strategy ahead of elections and one that the government has been known widely to engage in. giving supporters homes and even taxes in order to sort of win their loyalty ahead of the elections. so again very unclear at this moment and set to hopefully be defined on tuesday's inauguration. >> and how is the opposition

responding? >> well, they've remained defiant. this legislator that we spoke to said that he would be attending the inauguration, even though the supreme court looked set to block his candidacy or his post, his seed in parliament, this is a call that has been echoed by the whole coalition, the opposition coalition, they have said that all 12 legislators will be attending the inauguration on tuesday and they have called their supporters to join them as they make their way to the assembly. also one of the leading figures of the opposition julio vorhe, has called on the political will and to defend the electoral results that gave them the supermajority. this is particularly relevant because the government is also asking for its supporters to

join them on a march and in venezuela it has been known to happen in the past that these twin marches often clash and it could lead to violent protests in the streets. >> thank you, virginia. please stand by. i want to bring on our guest, diego ariri, and eric farnswort, vice president of the council for the americas. diego thank you for joining us. opposition is accusing the government to try to manipulate the process. do you think they have a case? >> first we need to define what kind of government we have in venezuela. for our listeners. venezuela is under a tyrannical regime, that controls 100% the supreme court, the attorney general's office and the electoral board. now, when this tsunami overflow,

they claim something completely absurd and the chamber of the supreme court that was on vacation took overnight a decision to try to implement three or or four of our congressmen and that can't be done and that of course can be having consequences >> you claim there is corruption at play here? >> no, the government has been buying for a long time giving cars, automobiles, other items et cetera, surprised the amount of vote is eight million votes, largest majority ever in venezuela. >> and eric that brings me to you. venezuela in the midst of an economic crisis, a need for change is what drove millions of venezuelans to the polls this past election. does the court's decision undermine their vote? >> well, i think it does. venezuela is in an economic crisis. the imf says its economy

contracted about 20% last year, 2016 could be worse. lots of consumer products are simply unavailable on the shelves and those that are available are scarce, people have to wait in line for hours, crime is out of control, so the whole society is facing difficult times both last year and this year. i think the people as diego said, overwhelmingly voted for change. there can be no question about that. they gave a victory to the opposition, two-thirds majority in the legislature that was really not predicted by observers. it was so overwhelming. i think government of nicolas maduro has been taken by shock and simply weren't sure how to respond and now they have tried to maneuver so that the full impact of the vote from december 6th really doesn't take place or it doesn't have the same impact i should say. that's very worrisome because this is a country that claims to be democratic. it's a country that claims a

seat in the community of democracies in the western hemisphere and latin america and yet you have a government that is quielt activel quite definito undermine the power of the people. >> how long could this power struggle last, virginia? >> it could go on for quite a couple of years. and in the best case scenario, months. hopefully, the government and the opposition could co-habitate. but you know like everybody in the panel has been saying this looks highly unlikely. the government has not only questioned these four legislators that we spoke about but it's also rushed through swearing-in three judges of the supreme court, the new supreme court. so again, it's been giving clear signs that it's not necessarily going to allow parliament to

rule or to legislate freely or with the two third majority that the people granted it. there's been talk that the new parliament could move to caught for a recall referendum on president nicholas maduro's presidency. so that could also see an abrupt ending to the presidency or the turismo. but again this is unclear exactly how it will proceed. >> and the results of this election there's this huge shift of power diego, the opposition party really is in a position at least was in a position to impose major changes within government. are those powers now limited? >> let me expand a little bit what we are talking now. there are two groups today. there was one group, the opposition trying to rescue freedom and rights. and there is a regime that is trying opreserve. they don't want to, the opposition and the world to find out, the magnitude of the

corruption that has appeared in this country. the amount of crimes, for example, the president of the national assembly of the regime has been r investigated for narco-trafficking. they are preserving not to go to jail. we actually like to take chavez to the national court at the hague. those who want to preserve not want the world to find out the magnitude of the disaster. and also we just want to regain rights and freedom. this is what's at stake today. >> and i've read several reports today diego that it's been reported as i mentioned that all 112 opposition leaders they plan to show up at that inauguration. do you think that's a good idea? will that raise the tension?

>> well, they have to. they've been elected. one of the issues there, that the regime is planning to install what they call a communal power parallel congress, elected by themselves, what they call a communal leaders, probably the same day. that would really be an issue. and actually maduro, the president of venezuela have said that they will not give up on the revolution. what should have been a victory lap in a democratic society has become a very difficult and dangerous obstacle course by the threats and the reality of what could happen. i believe we are starting to live very dangerous hours in venezuela because of the behavior of the regime. like eric was saying before at the outset of of the program. >> and eric, the head of the coalition is pushing for international intervention, hoping that someone can stop the reversal of the election results. is that a real possibility? >> i think it's a possibility,

certainly. whether it's a likelihood is something else. it's really interesting bisi. venezuela has a seat on the security council of the united nations. you would think the united nations would have standing to create a contact group to engage with venezuela to really push president maduro in that direction. the oas has the charter that it could bring out and in fact invoke against venezuela. venezuela is a member of merco sur, the common market of the south, used a couple of times against member country paraguay. there are vehicles that can be used by the international community to say nothing of the issue that the united states has been engaged in, in terms of criminal investigations for drug trafficking and money laundering directed towards individuals in venezuela. but i think the broader issue is this. individual countries and leaders of those countries, not just

former leaders, some former leaders have taken strong and positive stands in terms of democracy in venezuela, but current leaders, particularly in latin america in my view really need to begin to stand up and say wait a minute, there are principles here, there are issues here that are bigger than any one country. and one of those principles of democracy is the ability for the people to express their will through ballot box and to have separation of powers and when the legislature and when the vote is taken and the legislature is named that those candidates have the ability to take power. and not be subject to the whims or the dictates of either the executive branch or even the judicial branch which diego is saying has been clearly dominated by chavistas, the court was further packed by 13 new supreme court justices, rushed through in anticipation of precisely this issue that was

going to occur. i don't think there is any surprises here. i think what has to happen is the international community does have to take a stand and say, we have seen this movie already, it can't go on any longer. >> it's important you mentioned the united states. how will the situation impact venezuela-u.s. relations? >> it's a very good question. we have to remember at the current moment venezuela and the united states have a very strong commercial relationship. in fact the united states is venezuela's top purchaser of petroleum, has been for quite some time. united states pays market rates for petroleum, which is ironic, venezuela gives its petroleum away to other countries at much reduced rates. washington does not want a bad relationship with venezuela, there have been efforts to improve that relationship, since president maduro has been

elected. the ball is in venezuela's court to say look, this is a situation we want to improve. i think there's an opportunity here because president maduro's going to be look for international goodwill. the heavy handed tactics the country has engaged in has lost much of the international did will. there is an effort out of caracas to try improve that situation. president maduro will have to decide what he wants to do. >> diego what is your response to eric's statement? >> i agree with my friend eric on almost everything except, venezuela will originate an open dialogue. they couldn't care less. venezuela has been a victim of international issues, as eric has said. the only incumbent who has expressa rejection is the new president of argentina, mauricio

macri. no one in the presidency complained. the high prices of oil were responsible largely for this attitude. but now going to the beginning of your program, the confrontation started even before the national assembly is in place, has already started. how it will end, i hope the international community keeps their eyes on. like eric said very well, the international community, oas, the secretary-general, the importance of his new post. >> and virginia, before we go, what is the mood like there as we are just days away from the inauguration? >> reporter: well, there's a great sense of indignation that what seemed like ohopeful, hopefully a peaceful resolution to an embattled society, is set to continue. i think people were hoping that the government would read the

electoral results as what it came as, as a call for change. but instead the government seems intent on becoming even more radical than it has in the past, and also, like we've been discussing, there's also the sense that they're not recognizing the popular will. so there's on one hoond sens hae of indignation and then a great concern that there could be a sort of a revival of the protest that rocked the country for more than a month in 2014. in addition to this, there is also the continuing economic crisis which you know, this continuing clash between the government and oopposition, probably means that there will be a gridlock and that the painful measures that need to be taken won't be taken. >> al jazeera's virginia lopez in caracas, former venezuelan diplomat diego aria, and eric,
