to demonstrate their own happiness and today there are over four hundred officers in jail who have been tortured simply for raising their voices against the regime has broken the constitutional order. venezuela's opposition has momentum over the weekend twenty seven soldiers rebelled against the government they were later to tank by security forces. and on monday they moved through crosses streets with pots and pans a statement that reverberated all the way to the white house by mike pence the vice president of the united states and on behalf of president donald trump and all the american people let me express the unwavering support of the united states is you the people of venezuela raise your voices in a call for freedom. nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power. he's never won the presidency in a free and fair election and he's maintained his grip of power by imprisoning

anyone who dares to oppose him while protesters and the opposition have a powerful enough vocal ally the juror countered with a t.v. address of his own he warned vandals who attempt to cultural seem to named off the role that sarah the late socialist politician i only remember that they're going to capture them all they all went to prison and that's some penalty for the fascists hard hand to hand of silda the jurors vice president then took direct aim at the us . simply because mr pence doesn't have a job now he wants to come and run venezuela handing out instructions on what should happen in venezuela openly calling for a coup d'etat in venezuela i will say it like the venezuelan people would say to you yankee go home. on wednesday the race or it will be challenged on the streets it's the end of the story of the full of venezuela's military government in one nine hundred fifty yanks the opposition mocks it with nationwide marches but they

say this year it's mature who needs to go. ballasts al-jazeera antonia more as the last in america and the best he says there's something different about the latest protests. it really seems like we may be seeing a perfect storm in venezuela here with this mini rebellion there was yesterday among the military of which there has been very little so far and the protests that followed were centered in the western side of gattaca which is the poorest sorry side of the city that part of the city did not really join on mass in the big demonstrations there were in twenty seventeen if they had maybe knicker because a little might not be in that position where he is today it's the government certainly fears any kind of a military uprising but it also fears a total loss of support of the people from the poorer sections go out on the streets this could be a very significant problem from

a douro and by all estimations that i'm hearing tomorrow may be the largest protest the country is or so it's a tough situation the military there because the moderate government has co-opted the generals there are an incredible number of generals and they've been given responsibility for everything from the oil industry to distribution of food so the higher level officers have a very strong incentive to continue in power and to be to disdain to keep the government where it is the problem is that the economy is so disastrous that the rank and file members are suffering and they're definitely seeing their extended families who do not have any military benefits suffering a people who are going hungry so if you're a rank and file officer in the but as on military and you're seeing your cousins and your aunts and your grandparents suffering it becomes a much more serious issue the wife of an anti-government activist arrested in saddam has told out as era she's had no wed on her husband's whereabouts sudanese american ridwan daoud was detained by security agents six days ago in the capital

opposition push eisold away from areas under their control last year they've they managed to regain a lot of territory pushing the rebels up to the north so how can the opposition operate behind rebel lines so it calls really into question the ability of the government to maintain security in sixty percent of the territories it controls but if you watch the area and state television analysts immediately predicted that this there's a new phase in the conflict they're talking about the possibility of more bombings and and that the situation is going to destabilize further now many in the opposition will say this is the government's way of keeping people on their side to scare them and to tell them that your best option is to continue to support us because public discontent discontent really is growing inside government controlled territories because the government has been unable to provide them with fuel prices are are rising and there are no jobs so it's a really a very very difficult situation for the government and yes they control sixty

percent of the country but they still do not have the legitimacy from the outside world and clearly from these attacks not all is well whether is next but still ahead on al jazeera a taliban attack on afghanistan's intelligence community raises questions about talks with the u.s. . hello there we're still seeing some clouds roll its way across turkey you can see it on the satellite picture gradually drifting its way eastwards it has brought us a few showers but i think on wednesday most of the outbreaks of rain will be confined to the far western coast so elsewhere it should be fine and dry the temperatures aren't too bad either beirut getting up to around eighteen degrees and forcing baghdad which should also be eighty which is above the average for this time of year and those temperatures will rise further as we head into thursday this

time up to twenty one here in doha our temperatures are also rising just a little bit so i think on wednesday we'll get to twenty three but by thursday will be up at twenty four and those temperatures at night time will also be rising as well so you will notice that it won't get quite as cold over the next few nights them towards the southern parts of africa and we've just watched all storm desmond disintegrate that's been giving us some very heavy rain a lot of flooding as well over parts of mozambique and now that once disintegrated another one appears to be for me here it is gradually tracking its way southwards and as we head through wednesday and into thursday it will be drifting its way southwards as it does so it's going to drag plenty of cloud and rain behind it so i foresee madagascar soaking very wet as we head through the next couple of days they could easily be some flooding here particularly in the northwestern parts that's where we're expecting the heaviest rain. every week. to see recent breaking stories and then of course there's donald trump
