will. see. last january the almost unknown president of the israelis opposition controlled national assembly took his country and the world by surprise. declared himself interim president the justification was that president nicolas maduro was not a legitimately elected leader but a usurper and a dictator. venezuelans desperate for economic and political change rushed to show their support with the united states leading the charge nearly 60 countries followed suit. but 12 months later the promise of political change seems

to have a vast freighted with help from china russia iran and others circumvented a far she can all make sanctions meant to force him out negotiations to allow the new presidential elections have failed miserably. as as why those appeal to the army to support regime change. has retaliated by arresting or exile in scores of opponents driven by worsening poverty and hyperinflation disheartened venezuelans have joined the president today exodus of millions of their compatriots to neighboring countries. on january 5th the conflict took a bizarre twist. soldiers surrounded parliament to block by those reelection the speaker of the house. while the pro-government minority named some. choosey i'm a senior in access at the national assembly for much of the international community

leaders of the destination a sham and continues to recognize why as the leader of that israel is only independent institution the crisis seems to be reaching a new tipping point i met with white go at his office to discuss questions about his leadership and to ask him how if at all he can stop the military based government from consolidating its power opposition leader of one why don't talks to al-jazeera. one year ago you were seen as the great hope for those who were hoping for political change in venezuela you had the initiative the opposition had the initiative now the table seem to have turned completely in the possibility of regime change here seems like a very distant possibility did you underestimate the resilience of nicolas maduro when you really book. you know. in minutes when i'm in the.

us or if you want to that was what i want to say i said about. the law but out of. control is he now the. us. that control it that it includes a percentage. but i. base that was. elected and secondly when i make it including me a minute well. enough where they could. be out of. place or talking to those in this over me and a bonus for them i might seem community me your. data us. us 6 when you consider going there are going to be you know. as i said been the bulgarian don't say yes a been fostering the. dogs and yes that is the bit. of

the middle initial on it all you're talking about the suffering of the venezuelan people but one year ago i asked you you're asking for economic sanctions you're asking for the for the. bank accounts for the of the government to be frozen by the countries that happened and you knew that that was going to also cause more suffering and when i asked you if you were willing to assume that responsibility you said that you were going to counterbalance that by bringing in international aid none of that has happened but what has happened is that people are suffering the economy is in even worse shape now and part of that is because of the fact that you have managed successfully to get the united states and many other countries to impose sanctions on minnesota. you know has it mostly a little over a look at the ups of that happens at any call us mode or models do you see him in the in the. minnesota just turns around or order or buy he's.

been doing on board just what i have been there but nothing but at the end or in your own in but out of my. own which one you know will do that i mean are there but you have this in the middle up through the. eco. is saying that the if sanctions have had no effect. not over the days in all of. your local lives will be there in the noise it's late oh no i didn't say it was the cars but because if they go down . to it no but we did exactly in line at a conference in lebanon me about a bit of a minister get in but they were. in but they're all your gus community a bit of them into the mob or the miracle good or bad or is that me inclusion in a key element then later they have to. in israel at 11 they presumed that any muslims and i could look to see if your lotus did edge on this year 2020 is going

to be key very very clearly and the it's a we've already seen it of the battle over who is supposedly the leader of the national assembly the government has a very obvious strategy it's recognising a former opposition deputy as the the gym it speaker of the house and they will very soon recognise that assembly and go on and appoint we're silm a new electoral council and then call for a parliamentarian actions what is going to be your strategy. mr norway the parliament or. what i mean don't invent the old. lead that i mean that dollar to 2 minutes will kill you is. a loss you are not out easily then i mean the report of the opportunity. but whether you like it or not they will say there will be parliamentary elections this year it's in the constitution of the national. level it is in this ago but i'm

international means that it is in going in a simpler sense and of course i'm a basic of one because and if that leader is going to the new election in places yelling. at me this is your choice. problem and the really good i'm saying me. i mean then we'll look at the ones that are in law as well and with are going to assume that the. minister that we might include so no probably has to earn the cauldron the money and almost all of the games in the in the fact of. i don't. know if 1000 new york they look at these near. such a particular sort of bustle economy and so i came in but i wanted to know. if you can not imagine i'm going to stand that it's only regular but how are you going to stop the government or the gold and when will you how are you going to stop nicholas from a good or bad i mean look at that it was wasn't at him last year nia long as you got that letter to say you say here that one friend on of what is our friend us.

older peers and i don't look at anyone as annoying given that they don't organise our election but you can do it in a sense you have got a group to do a lot of ritual one solenoid i mean they want to logon is what i know but infant daughter. in the dealing i. mean 1000 into a scene community daniel baer the human. being is. there going to the older you know better than i that international sanctions against nicholas for good or. and international recognition of you are not enough and you have said that the most that the key element here is the support of the venezuelan people how are you you've asked again for them to come out on to the streets to fight to struggle but how are you going to convince them to do that. to believe that this time it will be any different than it was a year ago because there is clearly. disappointment in their leaders you know who

miss alice dollars are going home is in the museum in the losing of them you know to losing the danger because those in the easing them easier than the reason we're so enormous amount of damage on the border so you know that you see we're here it's a process called upon soliah or in the. wilderness when i want to elect 40 of them in this room but i invent. fire and it wasn't really what i perceive. as i see now and next that we said at the. minute that i'm a committed on the good recovery with all that but i'm into this up but i see your physical mean things rather than with lot of. last minute yes out of this will we see. your glorious. moment 'd the mafia my life what is a virus of 10 years ago this idea that being because you don't want to see it because the lower don't want to see what i thought was a little hint. because human d.n.a.

. but i mean that effect a metaphor not because of the elite dolan. what about going continue them up when i'm on the muslim doing them up political given which of my yeah if you got me to go. to him because you know what they said it was you know when you go you know i believe in them that matter be that or yes but if you see other friends or i don't see that they don't you're on the dollar for dollar what do you know being the devil's into the some of the good it comes to really see that this is somebody in the room to put somebody in the before they make them in the parking lot there's a familiarity in a syllable intimate his family that i can play or be seen as on the border as an advocate. in the act of them being told i'm owed what will you do if there are elections called for a new national assembly even if the conditions are not transparent even if they're not fair will you go to those elections will you compete will you ask the opposition and the venezuelan people to show that they are the majority better than

erickson who are not only seeing this and they were doing them in the end the inclusive he missed out at $830.00 eastern we'll get a gentleman of that it that you're elected on so both of them to the able to. hold its own will. get their way they get a seat only brazilian individually. and on the other oriented i want to sense so with all. the money may get to settle. who orders go about only exit the exit or exit or the leg the older. of them being that america is under them lizzie o'toole is seen going near 0. and plus if i don't interrupt we're going to run your board and we're going to remove the lane or link that in accomplices in the look of him colossal soon possibly next in the minutes with religion but they are on their way to a bottle and he said he didn't edit what we did up in the bin and op said was your intent much in that same order of what america by what book. all over the us are.

for simple war a lot of i guess i let it go. and i got a problem indoor nursing not going to go in contrast and deal there. so i quit it was a man of any other condition is o.p.m. but actually we might just take though to get it out of. the us. clearly suffering in the absolute i don't the bulldogs. are going to jump away but i mean doing in december all right but if the solution is through elections can you look me in the eye and tell me that you really believe that nicolas were going to hold the type of election that you consider fair and transparent normally dorinda in the can also what would you do better that executed you know this to the bone as in they got a not in their budget but early that the you were going to was a symbol of innocence not pretty much a solution and that is where you have a number say well. that's

a lot of noise. but they are a lot out of missiles and you know that with the us you know i don't make the water they say they're made up of his own body that we don't examine with a nickel discerns or ms in order. to pay all this it had been them i don't mean to say that one door nobody one only thought of them but we're not going as in a mode of. big. thing that onus would be to know that in many countries they don't go it happened in korea which happened in other countries people go to the elections they win overwhelmingly the government or whoever is in power doesn't recognise and exactly because of the fact that there was such an overwhelming defeat or victory on the part of the opposition that brings about the kind of change or impetus. for a for a regime change it's like some spittle and if it doesn't this thing is the me and i mean the competitive but and the fancy soon to say by my love at the moment is when

a lot of the annoyance. or whatever there's in it is not the old by little that turns the soon. to be equal of seen the world will know that in the next room good thing are going to complete the academy the better part of. this demand at the end that it's a said he was not to be doing me and i mean to get a really close in with the enemy we're going to. i'm going to be able to assume that they're going to as an actor ok the body but i meant look at it that way but i mean. in there will not be put on those it because a rogue element of you know how many mean this is yet there are level of humility what i mean you want to probably see more election going and the door. to sequester and saying are you going to come in the lower your nice differences young yes and you know chilly and you feel instead of you're looking at the or the mean for on and on and on election. day

a much others of your brother may know more orderly venting amusing when determine as well. as you know. they don't accidentally you know for a month or so you're saying you're not going to see him or the now on whom we are not you know what i'm going to leave it in my meter what good that i'm you know in the underwear at the sale be equal but i would not a western example with an addiction but i've already said we're going to hunt them in person x. and put them in place that they must sell the members of the content to it's in all of us an amount that the employer said that's going to be in control of any sort of an oil not one way or another built on they're going to sit on it because augusta in their letter you go through it again so you're moondog a morgan women got to go and bonuses it's a lesson as you know that i'm saying a. lot of i want to lead them in the film where we'll see any. of the academic honors an upper level i would be not a movie star impress you not only go to capitol dome and then nor was it important to us you had a financial or motorways. we you say this they are semi acceptable

conditions would you go to order an election when a condition is but up next in the world it is a noble to me as a resume for the betterment of the. most competent person as on the surface in that region the been in that is that it's really he said heal but it's. all obey you but . but if you go in community minister nick said you're doing their job or the bible is a minister or they've been a it's a thing don't they think they want to know them being legally solid but do yours bullied to go council he didn't want a hand in is them upset assumed in international again or on the. button or sell it again thinking that oh that or you minister said of the. there are some national. image that they see again they're going to you're going to be in. a poor condition a pretty little bottle but look at them what's in the acumen what he was talk about

a group of deputies that have been paid off bought off by the government what evidence do you have that that's happened and the reason why as a person that i know. i would. warn you they're going to be talking to the old argument was around they could have said this in the dollars a in. your bible and they would also blend in. with what do you know because you're dark but immediately i mean by the head of a media unit already known as one or are we. doing this well if i get it down a $1000000.00. in radio assess how to enable the other member in a deal to get leader. of the media. out. of the bulldogs and i'm glad to help us and then go a lawyer in training can see and. then they see. us about that. but i want to see and i do economic around the. a single with

a 1000000 most of mine there going to him blows because of the. rocket was in them one of them yes but a year ago tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of venezuelans went out into the streets to show their support for you they were enthusiastic they really believed that change was in the air. if all these conditions now that you say are even worse than they were a year ago. but i still don't see the people coming out there to show to put it to show that they believe in your leadership the way they did before and that goes back to what you said before that you wanted to ask for forgiveness for your mistakes what should you have what could you be doing differently now than what you did back then to ignite that enthusiasm in the know. that i'm ok you know and as i mean they let me see it as i don't because it's about us or them well what about it moon obama but i will not but i will not but it was or was. one or. the bigger

they had only said i want to end the one i want to tell you and see my choice i don't want to solve we have the or you want to this one this is it it will be as i want to do them being they had me and or 2 and didn't put a lot of what will be i mean bet all of it into them because those are the mean. i mean thing is augusta you've been seem. a connection committed to you and see what we had of them in the lot as a party was put as a going to doing in the bible but to me that isn't as if they were going to want to put a little teeny ever present is there not about that or what can it in an exam complete in a big damage to the police report as i. am in israel in the zone while in the game . you need so you may see any story. girlies or to lead you see lead lean and look if the process with the annual tunnels are in minutes but it almost in that solution and in the end again for the mono the yes you know.

about your mind on the. even if. it was a good thing as a new mother whom you know done the constant are going up in a storm or a ladder in there in this way or guess you know that on the wrong guesses you know what could be done to meet the board of this illegal drug and then you both are going to. land it nor there are some in the. in according us young a leader who we're going to see me then we'll get down of a sort of dung line for a minute you know as sentimental but a moment. although it will know it must end this way but you are the face of the opposition did you think it was going to be this hard. so you want me who was there in the. law he got. better me to your. henny behaving that way on the show with us in the late i wouldn't a moment nic go a little less with. indirect and then there's

a couple but i mean dawning on the same as them indeed acting exactly the internationale are going to mean don't mean them look at the don't limit on the files are going to be in the get a. lot of the groningen are going to do. but lament that young guys on the prosecution internet been there my you will have 7 is right here in the fireside. where. they be the other one where the miami as you and elaine and i were on the 1st day and they had taught us a tortoise on their of a c.m.o. said but i haven't had a car and it was about one going to hurtle out again and then examined them and as i got a look at that. there were none of them fans in that economy and that in play was. better late i mean what i said to me moving as i go through all of this they call it is with me more than usual and is in this at the village in the bush in the. middle of it is all going well when we are up in s. so does that. mean that. in this at the i want to go that.

a strawman you only that is on us. because that a bozo knesset dealt with but the us israel goes to the opposition it doesn't go to . them or the forum assume. no interest in the community who are more us aid no one thought we had a muslim of them with some butter implement out its fullness yearning for that i said but i was a jesse we import i mean the join up on the bus oblivion or. just resign from your party from your political party why did it take you so long to do that and was that perhaps not another mistake having stayed so long and being seen by some as somewhat too close to a little bolder lopez who for some is a very divisive figure within the opposition seen me as a bit of the scene go on the net there is a bully coming to. the employee could be your journeys in those appalling causing

go inadequacies are not a ball of them being. able to get most of the. modern yet out of the attitude and process of their own if you just own the only up at a ball and. if the strategy fails before this year is out you could very well be on trial for treason or even worse. are you afraid of what could happen to you when you. in this i mean there if then isn't that your dog is that they are these indian minister in. desperate you are going to. be you better listen i mean there are some you have lowballed good articles of it which you might on the phone with and what would you tell that israelis who are probably queuing up right now at different embassies. or and bus stations waiting to leave the country to join those millions who have already fled what would you tell them to make them stay if you were going

to buy him a good boy more you know more going through his own pocket because of the on the board of the. older. but if you're going to put a little relieved last year at it well another money or a lot of them going to be a lot of money or is it in a little celina cass that i for the poor legal but are we worried. that it will blow it out if we've got the will the governor has a daughter put up with an inner glow a. daughter in the military or better late i guess he fit or one of their others and they did leave early minutes we'll see do not recognize. at the moment 2 brothers an illegal they all go on the moon as they are the sort of going to be mother comes another trillion in a masonic they'd make us. every us daniel yes and i mean how much longer will that take we did get them was i thought i was able to put it on the door whom they said . thank you very much you that's in cloud.

when the news breaks today the current government has lost trust to people like you talk to anything because the protesters are against it when people to be her voice like working the represent the law for sure for opponents of grex it's drawing to the conservative al-jazeera has teams on the ground right now hopes the meeting in paris will push politicians to create a competent and credible government to bring the room between documentaries and the

nightly news on air and online with the stand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world so no matter where you go with the news and current affairs that matter to you. hello i'm barbara starr in london these are the top stories on al-jazeera libya's warring sides and world leaders have agreed on a final communique at a un backed peace conference it was announced by the german chancellor angela merkel she has the 12 world leaders including the presidents of turkey russia and the u.k. they agreed to extend a temporary truce in libya in the hope it will develop into a full ceasefire angle of merkel emphasize the need for a political solution to end years of conflict. we all believe that a political solution will be necessary i think it has become very obvious of the

past few weeks and months that it cannot possibly be a military solution to this conflict this will only increase the suffering of the libyan people. is in berlin and says that there is some skepticism that a lasting deal can be reached what was interesting also was the fact that for example. the un envoy on libya. had said that this process the berlin conference was a combination of meetings that had triggered or started off some 9 months ago why is this interesting because throughout that my month all we've seen on the ground in libya is actually an escalation of fighting primarily triggered by the side of khalifa haftar and that's where maybe the skepticism is coming in from is that there are people who would say that whilst these agreements conferences discussions are taking place because corrupt one in morocco be it moscow be it here in berlin that's all well and good but there's been very little implementation facts on the ground.
