on the phone with us. people who. in i knew. when they got any night i set up at the home i had on this. as you get to know my people and what i wanted to get out and say said. they all that but if you don't. know i am a more formidable to burn a sweater you know and move on minister and. that was what us what. i. meant it would be decided on various. that and. that made me human and they let us know what i mean what they saw it honestly and they said it what it was he'll meet me unit de lorenzo what'll. you know one of the things i want to respect the way. all the rich and embrace i

want to. i mean they're going to be in. the boy because it was in my head and they live in america or britain they go up in us up in us. and they go to me you know in those are places you're not doing as well and that's your home you know that it broke though there's a lot of it i don't base i don't know the he in the. galut i want by under his will on your claim you notice in the mail made on this new movie in the uk but it didn't include said i for one frame in a scene and the whole in a c is it didn't you know the. they took a simple way really look at this is it the enquirer separate that or are you dreaming they separate out. there and get annoyed of course i cannot answer. what it but let me talk you believe it isn't going to go but how long can people

who are already suffering resist that now we're not going to get out. you know the sort of on the boards that went on to be homeowners ok meet and become in. order but who i want to replace one or both of them you know or seen them in the you know to me not real madrid you fronted on the you know one in the. it and we important. in the image as well and rebels are the absolute. moto. but oh i didn't you know they're in this with look i was in a sort of i guess it's all sort of put in but a little more fully studying it you know many that you know than that of course i'm out there but on that end when i do nothing in a month and approximately a minute. they can go to him by the same copy to be amenable to mess also year. over five days and i was going to him to let them out on that list in minutes but i said get. said i mean any impact of them being

in them a good lot of the nominees you wanted that you would distribute that. or you stick with that i would say what are but a modem. to get them under the sun the. oil has the onus. and the older you know you never had the balloon die to come out of them on the bottom of the butt up where they threw it at what i mean. they were said to put it up us. wouldn't it i wouldn't you know they said oh a. groan ego or more we. see in this or chronicles or going from it i mean i can he said in the thing that. you expect the military who supports president mother to allow that to happen. you know better or that is. it i know it's good record there and when you do see i'm

a lucky thing in support of the c m i would. see this any meaning in a city that had been mia russia in mexico or offering to mediate in this conflict and the european union for example is proposing a ninety day period to bring both sides together in order to reach a peaceful settlement to this confrontation why is that acceptable to you when you know either thing of like to. get a cumbia you know began you know begin to pick on you because you're the one in this or the heart must say there are a bully could be i mean i can stand there i mean i was out of my clothes with the enemy yes you only i came home and there is a village and then when i went into the zone and we went into this room they were we had our own they make we do why he. didn't want a prayer supermodel phoned. me. that i. assume. that i mean the you know i'm willing you know i look at most of that i mean else as

it was younger than exactly reporting all of them video but i read about i'm not like a david over the next you leave it in venezuela is a crook and we put it on the book about them being moved i mean you know look at your legs. they will not only that they will no posters you don't say must you know me i don't know my jewellery you can go to put it on and we see in the good border . a lot of the opportunity to go. in for go and in only go by do you say so you see absolutely no possibility of negotiations with nicholas muddle to reach an agreement. about what you say you want which is new elections and a transition to a democratic government and he was in going to have your preferences and it was a human is what price and medicine don't really see it. as you as i mean the for who you are his. you know what i mean there is someone who you were at a galaxy that i thought they were and they will say oh look at your training so

much they're going to go or get a little i'm going like you're in no no if i see no. brain if a man though i want to go under your belt you're going to own. it with i don't know what the make it the. son would it be sort of mean that without. a position. that i'm going to make any more and more. damage north of. the u.s. . you know. the i know how he is. doing that with the lower than he was and they quite get my head but i didn't. you know yes i would get a number of them and. they get it or not but it would i would employ a parliament. as it is the

one way you know and i looked and it was you know and then at the end of sort of i don't be in the way. i thought of a thought it would break his opponent a love that i can deduce you know well actually i'm. a minister at the time that the better you move your cool but. i don't say much i look at it i'm not like i mean we've got another base but isn't there an enormous risk that if you don't try to negotiate that could be a bloodbath. i know it's a simple extreme i. mean i. look at the same i would want to know what. i mean. you know it was a really nice. book yet this was the end of the most likely i said i see no need use. me not at all interesting go nino.

if you come into it and i see no zero point five. zero poor quality one of my seed but i mean that i said to see in the sequester oh you know what i mean because i mean this is so me not so yet the bus and the minister now the so i got a bottom out on at the moment don't know why i'm a little bit about what it was on the other hand i look at what i don't know me as you know that i'm blessed with no more than if i mean a throw that says you know they're going to come in and notice you hadn't your makeup and the dialogue where you sort of go if it's after but again. i mean it right after but it's a year. for. a little lucky or a better me time i want to know when you're in venezuela porking nor reason let me hold up a young but i mean this or that let me go at them at the u.n. conflict or you miss with it ok let me tell you in the end moving in to support you

and they need more. but they don't operate well intentioned garlic in my little. i mean the apostle i'm going to insist you don't. buy. a way which are agreeing with me there are risks the government has already shown on television just today the tanks the snipers they are prepared to confront demonstrators and especially what they call civil. the rest. as you know i'm going to say but i'm going to get into always a boy do you. number on the maoists are they in iraq the way don't assume. i don't then we get on the air by somebody that is one of the lower leg and it was young. but all he came with an. element of from them and that it i don't i wanted to show. up or your pulled out of

europe by the moon but this is a very unusual situation you have two men both claiming to be the president won it last little with the support of the military actually has the power in this country and another yourself who has the support of much of the international community and they people. how is this all going to end i mean at the numbers from the numbers i mean that. they're going to begin three months there again now but i mean i do not believe and you have been wound up going to be even. look at because of your movies that if you know we will end and we. don't have the horn most women dealing on become a little open as it was you know that they have a wedding in february simplicity and the. whole you wore it better but also mine well when you had one because same kind of people died but i mean to get out is enough of this you want to. go to a he said without. any motors i know he won't do it but i said it

and it could mean and it was a moment that i mean there are for saddam us. ok know now where i am without a border and what i would want us in will not be any of us ever the head of the any of us the interim bot of. those us see where symbol got in conflict i said i'm not going to look at what we're going to. conflict and it out and for a while as i didn't read in a few. minutes and got it on about the import of your own can someone tell opposition can i do it but i'll. be in the young players to get it done and you know. she's. not really. nobody helped me that's what i mean this you know put an element on them i know that we all want to . get them off. my knee and i will.

be going to i mean i think us. and it also when they do a point on us and i. move to better source. we pick a need to do in the mode of say to heal instead well what about. you know what about on the minutes where you've been speaking in secret members of the military what have they told you when i thought i mean. they know me that is a really you know he really i thought a little more trying to get a what i want to sell our going to do or even if. i go to. you know what is running. particularly what i wanted a board seat i don't normally open in your hand. that handles that i want to let you know. and use the same collation that went into his i mean he

thought it therefore saddam operatic express also the content don't include these i see in the sendoff he said this was that any of these are true and your daughter put out so for me they had better say what they want to the content and i will cause implementable to see that. you're not there for us i. know that. some of the present but well the de niro you. see there were several. but i meant that your place in the media role. was in the detail that all of it is one of. many that include you washington says that all options are on the table would you support u.s. military intervention if all else fails. or going in or the embassy to seeing going out of course to see our candidates that really that. by you but in the image of many that have been a lot out of it about the approach you would buy these things i'm one of them in

this way but you're not ruling it out are you. that almost. all of them i said are going to sing gaudio look at the good and the other going to be. by may not go so she had to pull more than the limit as many people might like to wake up at the rodeo get it in play all right there's a resource you and people morning cause i mean what i said i'm a guy i say that because for many people watching this conflict unfold it certainly looks like the white house is dictating the terms of president nicolas mother just departure when. you. need to muster not. enough we have showing through so but over here the. international. we had a saying in a thousand years i said a minute but i said i would open. that idea. of a move toward a place that can promote a europe and was heading for you see it in

a one way also you know that i'm going to diminish learn that a little bit to say say let me give us your minutes we'll look. at this into. a movie more important the record. and over here but without us support would you be sitting there that's i mean i love to go to a bunch of them and i need a certain way and i don't want them a drum need the care they need at the moment come to my family at the going to get done the. moon eat. some of the four thousand of them because that's when it would open me up because you know because you know i mean as well as you do you know you're not you. quadruped those. selective selective sanctions don't blanket sanctions that's the big that's the. point of disagreement right now between the e.u. and the white house but i know what. he needs. and you know if you're not yes.

it does and then there are some in the bottom of the who doesn't include but i look as if you. will pay a dollar for those and then the ego that our implement them getting you know some. of them in the same place and the information received two billion that this in the milk was in the milk media and they were. sort of within the base a me you will pay so you will get america if i wanted to pursue. a. good person better present are going to separate in the me. to them and they might he not look at what i was in that better suit. inclusive last year. that i would look at in a little bit with the way that i mean marina. in minnesota is what they're always say may have several i don't know what there was a miracle to me and but it. is not any place in the u.s.

it's legal. let me say that there is and based on a set up of my own them and president my little says that there is a coup d'etat underway instigated by the united states and i think there is you would agree with me that there is an effort to bring about regime change there's no question about that but how do you feel about the united states again intervening here in latin america given its track record for decades in countries like chile and guatemala more recently in libya and in syria and why should the outcome be any different here in venezuela a professor what is it or not you're going to put i mean to put on as well as anybody really going to get a good. and the my dear. i don't know when they were going know it but i mean that in a day to fund all but the political deal about the election he says. there. were a republican and this was. a

limited time one of the top political bit out of him ok if you're going to pick a guy to see took a look at you are you going to subordinate. in a way america you know by using. united. you're fania. jessica good ok ok you know that effect. and i want you to see either because i you know this. politically and there were a thousand. times and i was only. brought up either late or atari's yamamoto. but i don't have a thousand hours it's absolute. elicited good as the enemy was. when there's been a spike lee and. submitted by the you know the body. and

the. shown us. but they can be said as to how careless yes or better than when do. we buy it it's absolutely. in them i would look. at that on the missouri illinois and the throwing. a woman said it was i thought it would get more that are really in there when we come in to. the pain the minutes we do to assume when the minister or. the c.e.o. in any mean to you change the boss and the element of saving important one of them will seem community. noise going at the moment ok like dynamism is really yet it can be. any doubt it can move the innocent muslim into place so why not order elections right away. yes don't sit with them

and their woman that arrangement like. none of them with you. but what is will agreed under all this pressure to hold elections but while still in office internationally supervised transparent under conditions that everyone could agree to would you allow that to happen would you agree it was young. boy in your same article. with you very much looking to. talk to al jazeera has requested an interview with the president and. we haven't heard back invitation remains a. short
