of food and medicine into venezuela we have money to import what we need but now the empire wants to appropriate venezuela's oil wealth. in actual fact the sale of food and medicine to venezuela isn't blocked although in the last two months the trumpet ministration has applied even tighter economic sanctions aimed to hasten mother's ouster. that makes it even more difficult to import all these food boxes called clapp which mcdougall has been distributing over the last two years a welcome sight of poor residents of all political colors this food boxes are heavily subsidized they sell for one hundred twenty that is and everything that's in here costs more than twenty thousand bali that is in fact many families depend on this that survives. although critics accuse the government of using hunger as a tool for political control the majority of those on the distribution list like.

pose the government anyway. but not. sanchez they're among the minority who remain faithful to the promise of the bolivarian revolution i gather at the end we have to give this government time we just have to wait for the situation to. change we need is that it's a dream and nobody said it would be easy especially since via confronting not just an opposition but the world's most powerful. there was a time when the majority of in israel and shared that dream but after six years of political strife corruption and economic hardships their numbers had dwindled but not their stubborn determination to remain loyal to chavez his legacy you see in human i just see that in his way that. you know brazil is creating a task force to deliver humanitarian aid to the venezuelan border it's working with the united states to send shipments by saturday brazils says it comes at a request that the opposition leave it will be responsible for its distribution the

u.s. government has blocked u.s. aid from neighboring colombia. and brazil. brazil is coordinating and cooperating with the united states to supply aid to venezuela and that supply of aid is set to begin on saturday february twenty third that's all according to brazilian presidential spokesman ottavio. he said all this during a news conference in brasilia it was stated that the request for this aid came from venezuelan opposition leader. and that it's one who will be responsible for getting that aid from brazil into venezuela and then distributing that aid which is to be comprised of food and medical supplies once inside venezuela now this announcement was expected because there was this looming deadline we'd heard about of february twenty third and yet there was. still confusion and till the

announcement was made as to exactly what was going to happen was brazil going to be taking aid into venezuela was going this whale are going to be picking up aid from brazil the question now is where exactly will this aid be taken to along brazil's border with venezuela will it be and that is the most logical place as that is a border town right on the country's border with venezuela it's also the main entry point for venezuelan migrants when they leave and come into northern brazil still many questions to come as exactly what is going to happen it was also stated that there is going to be an interim an exterior cast force that is going to be dealing with the logistics of this all we expect more details in the days to come because don's prime minister has rejected india's accusations that his country was behind last thursday's car bombing in the disputed kashmir region or that attack killed forty one indian soldiers imran khan asked for evidence of pakistani involvement

critics say that any major attack can be considered an intelligence failure but the scope and complexity of this one made it the worst attack on indian forces in the region in three decades it leaves the question what went wrong. indian agencies in kashmir rely on locals for intelligence but some analysts say the goodwill needed for that intelligence has dwindled the bost five years have been a period of extremely disruptive polarizing communalistic politics now that is undermining d.n. violent that is what is resulting in more and more frustration and more and more recruits. this analyst says the current intelligence agencies are understaffed and resources are mr directed but it is involved in political intelligence that is involved in the hold range of other activities many of them hundred eighty to two core security as indian officials continue to blame pakistan

under the circumstances the syrian government with assistance from russia made the unprecedented decision to open to humanitarian corridors to ensure the exit of internally displaced people from this camp to chosen places of residence it's unclear whether the russians and the syrians set up their humanitarian corridors after negotiations with the free syrian army tell our people from out of the camp walking a few kilometers to where the humanitarian corridors actually start or they simply just set up the humanitarian corridors on their own now the situation within the camp itself is incredibly die they were only able to get a first shipment the first in a few months of aid to the camp a few days ago and many women and children who are the main residents of that camp absolutely desperate. meanwhile in southeastern syria fighting continues in the last i saw held village of alba who was the syrian democratic forces the kurdish
