here and that they'd like a change. oh i'm afraid fever last she was a sudanese american journalist who was updating us on protests that she and. other supporters of the protests have been organizing in the u.s. they've also been lobbying the u.s. government let's move on to some other news now and there been mass protests also this time against venezuela's president in the capital caracas opposition leader why it's called one rally to keep the pressure on nicolas maduro to stand down why there has been recognized for most western and south american countries as the nation's leader after declaring himself interim president earlier this year our last in america at the turn lucien newman was at the opposition rally. and this is what opposition you know one of my daughters labeled the first day of what he has labeled operation liberty that is supposed to be the beginning. for the government

of president nicolas maduro but in actual fact what this is is an attempt to show that he can still mobilize hundreds of thousands of them israel and throughout the country to show the government that they are not afraid of the riot police that a lot of the clothing people still try. writing here that i don't think i've run into a protest. is useless says but the ship it is he keeps talking about socialism but lives like a millionaire and imperialist we haven't had water for more than a year. why go apologize to the improvised stage and the poor sound system he explained that just hours earlier the intelligence police or the cid being as it's called had confiscated two trucks and four generators and arrested the drivers. while the wanted to demonstrate that his supporters have not

grown tired or afraid or. it's just not long. and lic tricity there we are demanding no we are here to demand freedom and democracy food education and a future and nothing until we achieve it. the sign reads the next exit is meta flotus me to florida says the presidential palace but it is wishful thinking if these people believe that president nicolas maduro is going anywhere any time soon and so the real task of the opposition leaders now is to try to keep these people out on the streets for the long haul. the demonstration here in caracas was peaceful but in the major northern city of riot police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse demonstrators and to television crews were beaten but perhaps the most important takeaway from this rally is that the opposition will have to continue to make sacrifices and that it cannot count on the international

community alone to kick out president with. this very clear reference to those who have been asking for u.s. military intervention the message for why though is that it's not going to happen at least not for now. and also in caracas president nicolas maduro rallied his supporters thousands gathered to support my daughter has been in power since twenty thirteen. quite of being a washington puppet and as blocked attempts at getting international aid into the country our correspondent has more from the rally. president nicolas maduro put out the call to supporters and they heeded that will thousands of them taking to the streets of central correctness to show that them back to president still enjoys a lot of support amongst the people men and women young and old we've gathered here to show that not only they supports president nicolas maduro but they are them and

three opposed to the u.s. sanctions imposed against one israeli let's speak to a couple of the past the first why why are you here today but i mean i keep we are gravy and we need to stand with president nicholas mother will and the socialist i want to show until the very end we want to make room at their duplass and move the ball that's one of the fuse obviously one of the things that the u.s. has been banking on is not the continuous power shortages and water cuts would make people turn against the president's job or to ask this gentleman here with these we're told shortages i'm electricity cuts doesn't know made you lose faith in the government. but again it's absolutely not we know destructive acts are meant to break us but we will resist we need achieve southam powermat we know the imperilling is a reality so we must resist it. thank you now aside from showing their support to

nicolas maduro the essential message that is also expressed by the people gathered these large crowds in caracas is that they want to support their revolution they believe that's the. foreign intervention as they've described to protect me from the united states is an attempt to defeat the socialist revolution here and they say that they are against any foreign intervention that they are in support of the president and that they are here to defend the revolution. but i have plenty more this news hour including. the. third day of clashes between police and migrants in northern greece will have the details of what's behind that. sharing the load the people relying on basic necessities to survive after a cycle of mozambique. and how teenager was can put you venters within touching distance of the italian title peter will be here with the details.

iran as one of the united states it will respond if washington puts the revolutionary guard on a terrorist the reuters news agency says the u.s. is expected to make the announcement in the coming days it would be the first time it's labeled another country's military as a terrorist group. i don't think that the united states has lost its mind to this extent it's a trump conducts business unusual way he's smart enough to know that if the united states take this step it will mean that the u.s. military will be considered a terrorist group the u.s. does it then in return for this step the army and the pentagon will be considered terrorist groups well iran's supreme leader is urged iraq to get u.s. troops to leave the country as soon as possible they are rocky prime minister met ayatollah ali how many in tear on his first official visits the country. the ship

countries to develop stronger ties in the coming years of course the iranian president has just been to baghdad last month and he pledged many many developments to come in the in the future between the two countries the iraqi prime minister for his part stressed the importance that iran has for iraq and that he said that if according to iraq's constitution there will be no iraq's oil will not be allowed to be used by foreign troops or fighters to launch any attacks against iran your new president also stressed that iran wishes to increase its exports to iraq to a revenue of about twenty billion the current figure is at about thirteen billion dollars of course the two sides have made very strong gains in the past few years they've developed stronger relationship and they continue to work on that well iran is blaming u.s. sanctions in place for slowing down aid efforts as flash floods continue to batter
