3:01 am
the country's politicians blame each other. the problem donald trump has issued a public plea to venezuela's military to support opposition leader why don't the u.s. president has been speaking to the largest venezuelan community outside of the country and a rally in miami he told the crowd that the military would lose everything if it continued to back embattled president nicolas maduro we seek a peaceful transition of power. but all options are open to above we want to restrict your venezuelan democracy and we believe that the venezuelan military and its leadership have a vital role to play in this process if you choose this pair you have the opportunity
3:02 am
to help forge a safe and prosperous future for all of the people of them as well or you can choose the second pair continuing to support made during the one you will find no safe or are no easy exit and no way out you will lose everything the but so today i ask every member of the media regime end this nightmare of poverty hunger and death for your people let your people go set your country free now is the time for all venezuelan patriots to act
3:03 am
together as one united people who own the i like a house reaction to trump speech from miami. a new day is coming in latin america those were the opening words of president donald trump to what was a very receptive audience this was an invite only audience this is the largest community of exiled venezuelans in the united states so they greeted the words of the president extremely warmly but this speech is being seen in two distinct ways in one way it's being seen as a genuine effort on the trumpet ministrations part for change in venezuela to end that humanitarian crisis which has forced three million venezuelans to flee their own country but on the other hand many people are seeing this as trump on the twenty twenty campaign trail he said the word socialism at least a dozen times and that in essence is a way of him labeling his potential democratic opponents as socialists in the twenty twenty election of course the latin vote here in florida is
3:04 am
a powerful voting bloc in what is a vital state for any presidential election so that's how the speech is being seeing a mix of genuine desire to change things in venezuela but also the president trying to label his opponents as socialists trying to say this is an evil force in the entire hemisphere but certainly here today in miami where there was a large venezuelan community his speech was welcomed extremely warmly well latin america editor lucien you've been house caracas. well first of all most people can't hear president trump when he gives these messages because one of the only television stations where it can be heard and also web pages where it can be heard which is the spanish networks that come out of the u.s. are banned here also the words of the opposition leader one why dog earlier today were blocked on the social networks by the government but little by little they do filter through people are at odds here some people believe that this pressure from
3:05 am
the united states is the only thing that was really missing in order to bring about change others are afraid that it's just going to be words and that nothing will really change unless the armed forces here decides to listen and switch sides there is a lot of uncertainty and i think that that's the only thing we're certain of right now at this hour about what exactly is going to happen in venezuela. worth is the vice president of the council of the americas under former once taubes official he says the political statement so will continue. will continue unless the venezuela military switches sides. the military and the security forces remain the arbiter really of the direction that venezuela is going to take if they turn on the other regime then there is an opportunity really for why though to to really install himself not just as interim president but then to go forward with the elections that are clearly necessary to get beyond the crisis in venezuela if the military
3:06 am
and security forces remain loyal to my doro a lot of what we're hearing really is just going to remain at the rhetorical stage because really you can't force president maduro to leave so there's a lot of effort underway right now in terms of trying to get the military to shift loyalties. from a lot of different places the united states why the himself the international community clearly so this is something that i think is very much under way having said that look the u.s. president has raised the stakes here he's put the prestige of his presidency behind transition in venezuela he said very clearly this is an irreversible path and yet it depends in some ways on something that's completely out of his control and that's the venezuelan military so this is risky in some ways maneuver and we'll have to see how it does in the days ahead though there are protests in several cities across the u.s. against president trump's declaration of a national emergency trump took the action to secure funding for the mexico border

3:24 am
waters now according to the governments of gibraltar these are foolish games only of nuisance value played by those who don't accept unimpeachable british sovereignty over the waters around her brother as recognized by the whole world in the united nations convention on the law of the sea now gibraltar is a british overseas territory and it was ceded by the spanish to the united kingdom in seven hundred thirteen in perpetuity so the british say it's ours now and it will be forever more but of course with the u.k. trying to leave the european union at the moment relations with spain are important and gibraltar becomes a pressure point essentially that the british fear the spanish are going to use because they've always wanted gibraltar back against the u.k. in its negotiations with the european union essentially what it becomes is another

just the chinese government is collecting data from a much broader type of indicators like whether people pay their loans on time what they say on the internet whether day visit their parents on time all sorts of those petty behaviors that we don't think normally would be included in devout in the devout of the world it just seems that the arm of china's government is really reaching too long. and for myself i really feel uncomfortable for to see all those millions of people are affected already by being denied of their access to flights and high speed rio's because a lot of those people are actually all part of the most disadvantaged a group in china they're very much in need of bigger help if they did do something wrong on the key thing to help them is actually threaten cation to cheat teach them the consequences of their behavior and try to help them instead of just taking scores and i can see the system probably maybe by out of good intention but hurt
