may 3rd, as captain parents the 1st of to approach the code, it came under heavy fire. we'll see them. but in the legal reason, we're going we're wide and able to who didn't manage what is the q and he had responded with overwhelming for me, none of a stronger and the by the 2nd bow to was low on luck. the said with engine problem. it started running low on fuel. it was carrying $51.00 venezuelans and the 2 american mercenaries moved amen and ira and bury for lunch. if any pedro is the key. but when the launcher was, how much at the quarter panel um i had a 100 or less been being horny for me. ball model bought up or keep battle. if

we have little us. we got done that, we look a little bit, you see the community as they approached the coast and the battery boat, francisco and others decided they'd had enough stories a little wasn't there. some of that i'm up in b as a little more. lucas, i'm about to be there. you go to place an appraisal which i want you to him when you thing with the employ, long will be for another off market to india or francisco and $45.00. others had gone away for the moment where the 2 american and some of the group leaders stayed on board. policewoman ingrid castaneda was among those waiting for them. you can find it very

well. yeah. i thought bought event that i thought, when all the more money money must, wayne said, well, now that i what about the money or that money, i will love him. yes, i really don't want them on a lunch are being and same thing as there are loading holiday barbara perry will central appetite at lunch would look similar. and so me some funny, separate ellen, i was just eating a indira but i found on the 30 so i was on a home make it be on the left and the men were arrested and lined up in front of the media. the presence of 2 americans prompted the obvious question. who was behind the attempted invasion, interviewed in the back of a police car in search and i don't provide well, had no doubt. and i don't know them any kind of getting under, can you?

what will be, i think there's very strong article lansing in the wrong president. my dual had no doubts. eda seal mine, and i will not out of a you know, not in south america. madura said no longer use its own soldiers, but relied on private companies to fight. it's was pretty what you fellow libra. see by little in really more you data. when you know when the w. w set up by you said something like that. but if somebody bought for one that is willing to cross the political divide, we're united, believing that jordan goodrow had the backing of the u. s. government. but donald trump's response was dismissive, we just heard about it. 1 but whatever it is we'll let you know, but it has nothing to do with our government up until then the role of venezuela.

so position leaders had been known only to insiders, but face with criticism about his role and operation, giddy on jordan goodrow, decide to go public. there is really no, there is a contract. absolutely. let me see if you can read it. you probably read it. why, you know, i helped him in an interview with venezuela, journalist patricio lou. jordan goodrow, reveal that opposition leader. why does signature was on the contract? and that he was still trying to get paid. i'm out a lot of money, a lot by a lot of us came together to do this. i mean, i've been a freedom fighter my whole life. this is all i know shortly after giving this interview could were then lead to phone recording which apparently captured the moment that one guy door signed the contracts i suppose. nice to meet you.

right? exactly. do have the contesting there. and then we managed to get an interview with one guy in hiding and cut our cars and asked him about his involvement in the sales floor level. not been. i don't know, but i don't know. yeah, it would be the most wholly needy. why do? insisted the venezuelan government was responsible for operation gideon. he accused them of using infiltrate as the trick the invaders into going ahead against all on

india. is it or is it not your voice and your signature? can i just get a simple yes or no? i don't even know that i'm not that it won't love i'm like why do run on has admitted his involvement key to claims venezuela. i'm recognizing that was a good country intelligence operation of the go right. we me smart guy with aspiration. 33 years in consulting was like still believe caught, i over correct that i feel bad about it because there is people will capture torture, kill money bladed i was suppose the commission was dismantled, the brazier was affected. but saying that there is an intelligent, hijacked, the operation. is that not just a way for you to escape responsibility?

no, no, no. i'm assuming full responsibility, but in violence i will do it again. i'm not. everyone is able to take the outcome so lightly. no, no, no one of these little from $11.00 play handle in the middle most i could always offer and they're not lunch. he said, well, look, montelongo, but as you today, good ro continue to insist that the opposition never explicitly told him to stop working for them. and he's using lawyers proclaimed money from rand on. meanwhile, president, my doodles party has taken control of the national assembly in the process, removing a plan, glad doors justification for claiming the presidency in my speech. to mark the reopening of that assembly, to no one surprise, he highlighted once again that failed attempt to unseat him. my son, william,

i don't know, may be the thought, but i feel you just have me in 1985 for young anti apartheid activists were murdered by south african security forces. if you've gone solve the problem by the moving the guy, then you would get 36 years on a family's quest for justice reveal systemic resistance to prosecution. must all be convicted for taking my father away from me and exposes the influence. the former a part i just stablished, still wielded in the new south africa. my father died for this of people empower investigation on al jazeera. ah, ah,
