conservative territory and it's where richard is trying to be reelected. if you think people want it my sense is that increasingly people who want bricks it want a clean break i think they feel very watered down bricks it effectively that leaves us permanently embedded in europe with no size. is perhaps the worst of all worlds while these local politicians are having to. imagine what things are going to be like for conservatives standing in next month's european elections. in which the new brics it party looks likely to rip them to shreds it is already polling double what the conservatives are on defections found among the party faithful as teresa mayes already broken reputation will disintegrate in time. when the european elections happen do you think you'd be tempted so to vote for the brics a party that's a little secret but i think you are. we need

a tweet calling for maximum popular mobilization to assure the victory of peace joining us now to help write down the latest news in caracas. lukas kerner is a political analyst and the editor of the new side venezuela analysis and what is out is out until now daniel's twyla is a correspondent for al-jazeera english and on the set in washington d.c. fabiola rundown delgado is a human rights attorney hell of a place good to have you here. daniel you've been standing up for day and all day yesterday reporting for allergens zero final phase of why doe's push where are we now what really happened. why go out on a tour of venezuela talking to the military talking to people to try to gauge the feeling whether there was an appetite for what he called this final phase in the push to get rid of president nicolas maduro and the obvious he decided very early on tuesday morning. video that he posted out before starting had come up outside

like a look their base in practice this was the moment he gambled it was a huge gamble asking the military to leave put aside their loyalty to nicolas moodle and join him some did but not enough it seems and it looks at this stage or a day later that gamble has failed i'm just looking for at some of the protests that one guy to his all over social right now i don't know with he's posting or his team are posting but i'm just looking at these pictures people on the streets of he's taking pictures of people in the streets is saying that people are still protesting. but you have a hotline to what is going on in terms of your family your relatives who are and you got a message from your mom a mom's a very reliable and your mom tami what my mom woke me up at six thirty in the morning saying whatever you read on the news i'm ok i'm alive. i'm ok right.

immediately soul the news about not in our pricing i feel like sometimes the media . takes it was a military our pricing but the reality is that why though is the president interim of venezuela so he is the commander in chief of the national army so it's not an odd rising of the army it's. it's a constitutional favor they're doing is a final responsibility that the doing to the constitution and of the people of venezuela lucas's eyebrows are very high right now to show he's got the same take as you go ahead. little small problem that while those are very critical of the solution it's work and so on but there was no back to our model of what the letters are made keep which may twenty fifth and which were the one million both thirty percent of the total accurate about the same portion of what obama likely would in two thousand and eight you know moreover if you even what you want to be in trouble

that he would. like to spend thirty days which he did not do leading to elliott abrams who the u.s. envoy to and it was very humiliating press conference where you don't believe that you know one way or the president of the interim president and from that had begun yet but really the legal grounding is very unclear and your oppositions continue with kind of problem patient approach to judge them by u.s. military and intervention which they have repeatedly called for violation of course your name on many things military intervention of america is the last thing on my list let's start with a legal background it's not cloudy the constitution say said very clearly that when there is a vacuum the president of congress becomes interim president and he will as mother will push to an election very early the elections in minnesota legally are held in december and he pushed that election of twenty seventeen december to may because he knew he was losing power popularity so that election has been declared

far to land by the congress by many countries around the world over fifty countries around the world people in that is why they don't even want to vote they were very divided whether to weave or so we know because it is outside of the legal parameters where elections should happen so it was a farden action so this is problematic. because there will be some parties in venezuela and i'm talking about people who will be very supportive of presently juror there will be some parties who will be incredibly supportive of a one quite joe and there is this issue i want to show you some of the lycee that i know is happening right now as we. go to caracas and people on the streets they are not happy because you have a president who said i am president and you have the current president as well i'm just looking here also about what happens when you have people in the streets like you see them right now because the internet goes away connectivity goes away lucas

can explain what you don't have right now when people are protesting. if you can point to remember that in. the party or the got made on the left of the novelist i mean no one although two million bought you had to look at and i understand your position where we are moving on that because we can spend twenty five minutes over here now the position of why do i the position of majority so when people are on the streets like this right now what do you lose as a residence in any area where people are protesting internet for instance is not there all right. no. coverage of what. actually is them a lot more people do have active social media and like most of them. private media is probably. more neutral but the opposition. in called social media.

there is not. being vented rebel international media is overwhelmingly body in support of the. program about a recent article by their report and they are you know in the us mainstream media were openly against us. liz let me share this with you about the early then you can pick up this is. on twitter she talks about the reason for blocking access blocking access to the internet is that social media is the only way that most people of venezuela can access information you've blocked the internet then they don't get information local t.v. channels and most radio stations are fiercely watched by the regime to keep them from reporting what is going on that is a different perspective from the one that lucas shared with us and you say what's absolutely sense to any of those two thousand and one with the closing of it was that there are c.t.v. there all those news network in venezuela that lead to

a halt you know two decades of closing t.v. networks radio stations there is not one radio or t.v. station in the country that is not managed by the government with which is why all of the information that people feel is via social media via twitter facebook instagram what's app is how we communicate because every time you turn on the t.v. is like there's two parallel then as well as we see as we see all chavez is this courses we see everything is ok great in the meantime you open the window you don't even have to open the window you can hear it you see the people are in the street and it's not being reported. which is why we have international media reporting and the b.b.c. c.n.n. has been kicked out then and en espanol has been kicked out in twenty fifteen i believe out of the roaster so even if you have cable then it's all people cannot allow they are not allowed to watch international t.v. daniel i want to play this to you because you can hear the two sides here more than

two sides but you can hear. they are not on the same page and it almost seems like everyone in venezuela. is divided where they are high mature or are they behind this is a milan e o s goodbye he is a journalist have a listen to how he explains what is going on right now don and then you can pick up off the back of a one of the themes that we need to think about is one way to go is that you can breastfeed and of minutes where he's been bad good they've been a strong people to go for demonstrations the rope is a legitimate way to claim power against mcdougal's regime either wary is this this is the. eager form of do this regime for the movement society of business well and to gain freedom to work country. but it's another point of view i mean it's original it's an increasingly polarized society we hear increasingly polarized points of view and you can have arguments about whether one side or the other is

respect in the constitution or not but what we've seen are more demonstrations i mean i was there in venezuela in two thousand and fourteen there were demonstrations on the street by both sides pro and anti-government something like eighty or ninety people were killed again on both sides of the members of the security forces were also killed it was a very tense situation and it died down so what's used to happen is these every now and then these demonstrations flare up but it really does seem to be this represents of what is a polarized society getting even more polarized i must say as the situation intensifies and as we have the international situation now with russia china turkey supporting the dawdle united states brazil and colombia and others supporting by the way dogs so again i don't really know who are you if you have to be very very careful you identify almost immediately who is on what side and trying to pick your way through that and establish some kind of a balanced view of what was going on is the challenge we all face let me share with

you the verified twitter account of nicolas maduro i'm using the translation from twitter into english when i thank the venezuelan people for their college and conscience in the face of this attempt to commit a tar they have shown that i mobilize people as a guarantee of tranquility for the homeland when israel is touching a peace and independence lucas how has the president hasn't let you know how this situation do you think. what a call at one thing very quickly that r.t.d. would quote or not quote a lot of life wrote it doesn't want to actually quite a key role in the two thousand and two coup there was spotted by a lead abrams at the time. of the oppression my daughter is a very difficult if you. choose to allow someone who clearly has violated no more. attempting a group against them is openly calling on the armed forces to insurrection and calling for international invasion repeatedly then you know he is unable to read

and bring in the judge because if he does we caught him what the drug ministration is that when you put out that red line and what you know it will perhaps at invade the country or bomb the country and. it is running at the very dangerous situation where the united states is in effect in the border recognized the leopoldo lopez who is just really a today from his militia of how to. he was in power look at it he were all in the two of them through coup and you know kidnapping a time leader in a characters of a long history is the opposite of attempting to out with it as one government here on twitter is t.j. sixty three t.j. says that the whole point of the protests is a put pressure on president nicolas maduro to resign from office how is that working out from your perspective to me so it's a very interesting word of wording because for him to resign that means that he is president and he isn't legally what he were asking is for him to leave for him to

stop or serving the position we have a president is why though he's interim president he's going to call for elections but it is a process that needs to start with the stop of the seas of us or patient then creating a government of transition and finally calling for free elections danny was really fascinating watching how the press of the general is conducting himself he's i was just looking for the cd as he did anything for alice well as clyde i was to. every few minutes and i don't rally the people how do you a contrast to leaders about how they are handling this situation with joy fills like he's very confident right now he thinks he's won i mean that's the impression he's put forward he gave his press conference surrounded by the military high command late last night and so he's basically sitting back waiting for the white door to make the next he doesn't have to speak just yet i'm sure he will have some today i just find it interesting listening to the bible or even the use of the word

that couldn't are or aren't writing you know so even the language of people on both sides hues will indicate a will to meijer the weak side of the of the debate there which of the debate there are so again we face the dilemma the polarization of the administrators started in the debate in that way in the language chosen to describe what's going on and then mass say one thing. let's say nicholas another hotel on national t.v. has had some for audience left and said that why there was interim president so he himself has accepted the way though is interim president why is the rest of the country not that they have a listen to nicolas maduro this was his response to a day of protests so this was just a few hours ago have a listen have a look. not enough with the truth is assault as a shield we face so many attacks and so many lies and thanks to the truth we have emerged victorious in every situation and we will continue to emerge victorious in any difficulty that we will face from now on in the upcoming months and years i

have no doubt about it but i do not think anyone your view talented to say here is the editor of global voices and she's been watching and her journals have been following very keenly what is happening in venezuela laura reminds us it's important to remember the venezuela's crisis is affecting the continent it's not just the us it's also venezuela's neighboring countries mainly colombia it's even waves of people suffering from hunger trauma that can affect the health status of the region daniel can you pick up on that expanded a little bit more yeah i mean this is a story we've covered in so in some depth i mean not just colombia colombia has borne the brunt of many of the migrants brazil tens of thousands of people have been to some of the most remote towns in bolivia for instance and found in a swathe of migrants that here it went osiris there are large presence as well very well integrated into the society and i think that is a reason why countries in latin america very keyed in and so this crisis as soon as

possible for the sake of venezuela of course but mostly because they fear something like four million been a slave is an estimate of let the country already if things get much worse that this of course into a full civil war then people are very very frightened about what will happen if there were tens of thousands millions more flooding across the borders of the social structures are simply not good enough to cope and some of these countries resort just over the border in brazil in northern brazil but the initial wave of immigrants came over migrants came over they were very well accepted they integrated diety local people were helping them a great deal to it with years later not moving to the turn because there were so many venezuelans coming over and they were seen as a drain on resources and there was a violent mean. about the micro it is it is a big worry around the rest of the region it's really important to talk about the military in this current situation in venezuela right now the moco goldney mentions this in a tweet to us military divisions in venezuela not healthy for those early signs of

the four of his regime but maybe that was tuesday perhaps not on wednesday lucas was the military doing. indeed and we have yet to see any langfang military official to back and support the opposition certainly they are in the factual and the up intelligence apparatus which is to work with them that many more right wing elements within the military it's been solidly behind although i think it's possible it will not work out of migration i want to comment quickly that one of the key driving factors behind migration in that region is u.s. banks and we are going to leave no board by economists. and geoffrey that is you know and already killed forty thousand people but you know according to produce who are driven up as an economist is going to call but it will become american try thirty seven percent in twenty nine destroying all over the of the economy and you can put on that over the destroyed watch but years back to bring it world beat about as well so it's important to note that if we got to be misquoted

and called in the migration which is using right wing i think you can adjust that by its brother and i'm a grown up policy. well i mentioned about the sanctions the sanctions have been very specific especially towards people and i rank is of the government who are infiltrated in narco trafficking to the america to north america the two nephews of president let's call them nicholas modal are currently in prison in new york because they smuggled one ton of cocaine through haiti in an official airplane and they were intercepted by american officials and venice officers as well that have deflect to the government and requesting asylum and refuge in their things so to talk about sanctions being the reason behind immigration immigration started years ago it's been two decades of mismanagement of corruption and. the sanctions are just like the cherry on top but the money has never really.

arrived to the people it's been you know removal of these. block it to you know specific power movers not really even his own people. daniel go ahead he said i don't think it was it has to be said that even before all the charges came to power there were massive in division in venezuelan society there was massive insecurity of massive inequality in the distribution of wealth or why some people were very very wealthy and i went to i was lucky enough to have been swayed in the early one nine hundred ninety s. before charges came to power and there was massive inequality and regular is going into the great deal of anger that is one of the reasons why you were a child is it come to our own was popularly supported and the legacy of that i think you still remember that it has to be said by any sense the measure the venezuelan economy at the moment is an absolute disaster that inflation is out of control massive shortages of almost everything and nicholas woodward obviously must

take great deal of the blame for that but people still do remember how things were just with a gift like nicholas with daughter what many could do it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to support one way ball and the people who surround him because they remember what life was like before which obviously now let me remind you that the pictures that you're watching our encounter acas right now they're coming for us live to our desire and who you're seeing on the streets and supporters of one. i know. daniel you were talking about sanctions also gabrielle hatband assistant professor university at alba he was trying to think how do we get out of the situation he also mentioned sanctions have a less. i think it's absolutely crucial for the international community to call for negotiations to call for a complete cessation of these illegal and incredibly damaging sanctions within venezuela to call her complete and to us threats of war. on moral grounds and also on affective grounds these are just an obstacle to the actual path

of peace and they really want to achieve any of their stated objectives so far and they really harden the lines within venezuela so moving towards a more peaceful solution i think is absolutely critical and i think that's where energy of the international community including people reporting in venezuela should be this look at let's look at some of the reporting from venezuela from some of the u. s. newspapers let's look at the new york times compare secularist states for the united states accuses cuba a rush of propping up venezuelan roula and then we go across to a reaches russia denies us claim itself but as well as mature way not to flee who took me believe what do you understand is really happening we've got an international past. because you know look why do you support the obviously yes and not just of why bill for the sake of why though i'm trying to get my country back

on track. the fact is that at six thirty am why though makes an announcement he's back by some military. players and at seven thirty am russian airplane arrives from moscow took us a bombardier can remember the play the license plate and that has been reported by venezuelan reporter and upon the report of. oh i forgot isn't but he was also he's in madrid right now because he was persecuted politically and you know that happens an hour later from a school year or so and then two hours later that same airplane goes to. the american republic ok so who to believe i'm not sure i'm not in birth circles of intelligence see ok so i was watching you right now she's watching our conversation here on the stream i.v. says and this is really pointed to you fabiola go i do is not the president he is helping a foreign government invade us sanctions of killed an estimated forty thousand

of justice rule of identified ten possible instances but he was confident he made the right call and not to press ahead with the deputy and i felt that the evidence developed by the special counsel was not sufficient to establish that the president committed a crime and therefore it would be irresponsible and unfair for the department to release a report without stating the department's conclusions but robert mueller sent a letter to the attorney general upset at the way he presented his findings ahead of the publication of the redacted report a point not missed by one democrat i think history will judge you harshly bar says a lot of the president's actions were fueled by allegations he felt were wrong and called into question his election when is there any evidence you're aware of suggest even remotely the president trump is a russian agent on that i'm not aware of this meeting was meant to be about the last presidential election but it was really more about the next one. and the republicans who defended bill barr and donald trump and the democrats who attacked
