basically out of the un fits the purpose was like many critics sites, just pump solutions doesn't get anywhere near enough done to the amount of money that is poured into its hard hitting into the sink. lot to their lives on washington for money to go on its own and build it's on don't providing on for centuries, people have been taken care of are. so i have every confidence that future generations will do it as well. you the story on told to how does era the highest i me okay. on today's episode of the screen we are looking at this dean is all finished. where us sanctions, how selected have they been and who's been impacted? we stopped with former president, trump speaking on june the 10th how about with buying oil for venezuela?

when i left that as well, it was ready to collapse. we would have take it over. we would have got all that oil. it would have been right next door for the president, trump saying the quiet bit out a loud. how impactful of sanctions, good policy to alter the just collectively punish an entire nations for the deeds of that politicians. that is what we're talking about today on youtube. we are inviting you to be part of the conversation as well. the comment section is now nice. let's meet an expert gas joining us from denver, colorado, francisco retreat. this is an economist, profess at the university of denver, as joseph coldwell school of international studies. joining us from once every day or guy is tamara, tara sick, bona director of the piece at the bell or of your program at the inter american dialogue. adding portion of d c, monica weiss brought mt is coast all right to of the center for economic policy research in washington d. c. so monkey in

a sentence 15 years of sanctions on venezuela. what do we have today? what's been the result as well? the results, the biggest part of the result is the worst decline in, you know, the worst depression really in the history of latin america is francisco will talk about. but i think also these sanctions are a form of economic warfare and they mainly target the civilian population. and that's why they have an impact. uh that similar to actual wars. and lot of people noticed, you know, representative jim a cover who was the chair of the house, a rules committee, when the democrats have the house, he wrote a letter to president buying. and he asked him to get rid of the sanctions of as well. and he said that the sanctions that they had or in distributed and he said

purposely so. so he explained how it was, as he said, the vin as well in official i've got the ones who were. ready suffering, but the people and that was actually that he explained no, that was the purpose of the sanctions. and that is the purpose, i think. and it's illegal under treaties that we've signed and, and it's terribly wrong. well, what's the purpose of the us sanctions? best face dean. yes. to hey, thinks there is 2 important points to satisfy. first, there's different types of sanctions. those that are targeted against specific government officials have no impact whatsoever in the to many 10 situation. but i believe we are talking here and what mark was referring to is like, is the economic sanctions that have an impact on the art sector? and what we have seen is that there is a problem with over on science with sanctions imposed by the us government that has made it harder for too many hearing aid to reach the country. however,

i do think it's important to highlight that you might have 10 institution in minnesota and that was pretty dire fee for the and professional fashion. just not that official data by the head ministry published by them and it said on fridays in 2017, it shows that the previous year maternity mortality increased by 65 percent and incense mortality had increased by 30 percent. and these statistics, which had not been made public for a long time, were made public by a health minister that was quickly is taken off of it. so i do think we need to, but the impact of the us sanctions in context, in a situation that has had been dire before and continues to be dire and are due to over compliance with the set up tomorrow on youtube. one of the few is his pipe top immediately and says this is basically american economic co washin.

what would you say? fact to them? is that watching right now is this american collection? is that the whole point of sanctions on venezuela? i don't think that sanctions need to be or should be an end in and often says they should be a tool to try to improve conditions in the country. obviously if they have an impact on the humanitarian situation and on the people they have and, and the fact that no one is going to support. however, the end position in the lifting of sanctions can be unimportant, solely to criminal with a transition to democracy. together with other tools, including for example, international accountability for grace, human rights violations that has been committed in minnesota and which amount to crimes against you, man francisco. go ahead. it turns out, so this will as undergoing the largest economy contraction ever document. ringback in any country outside of our time, it's a contract of 72 percent of its income per capita. we're talking the equivalent of

3 great depressions and what the evidence shows is that a large part of this contract. so it can be explained by the comics actions now it's not the totality of faith. but what do we have to understand is that this economy is very highly dependent on oil revenues. 95 percent of the tech sports are or they already come from oil, an oil exports, so a 93 percent. that's fine. and there have been several studies that have looked at the impact of sanctions on oil production. and they found a very significant ongoing production. so venezuela is for right now as a result of such as now again, sensors are not the only driver and some arrows. absolutely right. that situation was very complicated and, but as well uh before sanctions but actually, so definitely adequately a bit. you already have try. what was a large economic crisis in 2016 into all of the largest catastrophe that we've ever seen outside of war time. how's this guy going to tell our audience that you'll the

found of oil says venezuela's, that's a non profit organization. and you focused on finding you can finish the sentence here. what are you focused on finding the funny solutions to that as well as the manufacturing process. in particular, we were focused on developing framework seconds or for them to go shared equipment . so they've been sol as government and the opposition can find ways in which they can address some of the countries most starting problems. for example, to an oil for a specialist program that allows the country to we can access to us your panel of markets with the condition that the resources that are produced as a result of those exports are oriented toward attending the needs of, of as well as under international supervision. all right, so i want to bring in this extra voice. we spoke of a to daniel de martino and tomorrow i wouldn't have a listen to daniel. the respond immediately of the back of what he told us. here is the reason the initial election, the terrible economic crisis at east da has nothing to do with us. sanctions on the

everything to do with the terrible social as far as the implemented, they took over people's businesses and destroyed private sector. so what else could we expect on forcing 7300000 people like myself or to flee our country? and so i really question the motives of members of congress are, are fully for an age of sanctions. the don't affect the business one population because today you can send food medicine, a cash you can travel to venezuela because it's not the same us to the sanctions only for the groups of the top of the strong country. and those should continue as well. i think, you know, things are not black and white and as i think it was a very different aspects, but in fact, on economic conditions and the situation was an impact situation in the country. one that we haven't mentioned that i think is critical is the track record of mismanagement by and it said on a hardy's that also has and then and it will be for the sanctions when the sit on

the parties did have money. that was a consequence of selling oil, they didn't necessarily use it for the good of the people. and so there's actually no guarantees of that money would have been funded to actually support the united parents situation. and then in addition to the point they think is critical as history shows that the so i'm sorry, is don't give concessions for free and that there needs to be leverage and generating incentives for that negotiation. that's not the goal. it's talking about between the opposition and government to actually happen to get them to sit back as the negotiated table to get them to agree to specific measures to help the people and to transition to democracy and then eventually to implement those agreement. so i think it's essential to push in that direction through i'm positive. that means including using sanctions. but i do think that the way they were presented by the

company ministration, initially with the statement that options were on the table, including a possible military intervention, was definitely and i would have fun to push for a response in that would actually take minutes willa to democracy, which is what we are look for, or far as a scope, it is what we owe look for, is it for the us to impose democracy on of the nations on of the countries or is it, is it for the us to, to make that decision and then make sure can normally they call thrive. if they don't follow what the us tells them to do as well. i don't think it is, but i think that the rest of the contrast, the community doesn't think that it should be either there's something really important and sometimes overlook about sash or something. so which is that the us is the only country that has imposed economic sanctions. on but it's all that and by that i mean, sanctions,

we're splitting that as well as sales are 4 sections. we're slipping. that as well as access to the global financial market. it's only the us, you're a has been actually might be or this in rejecting economic sanctions and focusing only on personal sanctions. however, the us, despite being just one case of the world economy, is incredibly powerful because the us controls access to us financial system and towing capacity to carry out transactions in dollars and 80 percent of global transactions occur in dollars and us dollars at the current site so, so, so basically what happens is that and, and wayne, which the us and force us actions. it's not just the us thing. you can't sell oil in my market. it's the us saying if there is a european firm is punished for i'm a french for an indian firm or that decides to buy that as well. i know it was that besides a to help sell that as well. an oil would that provide inputs for the best oil industry. we will sanction them also. ringback so they're sending credit and power and incredible force that's being used by the us. and i think what's really

intentional about this is that absolutely no disagreement and fully in agreement with the us targeting individuals. think of us my little himself and people in his routine, particularly those who uh, on which there is evidence that have been in full in human rights abuses and incorruption. but targeting to venezuela, any time use something different targeting dependence on economy me is targeting vulnerable, but as well is that i think that there's something really wrong about saying we're going to hold that as low as hostage. we're going to hold the wellbeing event as well. as hosted on, show my duty decide to change his mind and negotiate. i want to go to the us border and just bringing to migrants who have been forced for economic reasons to leave the country. this system speaking in early may and then i'm going to just bring back mount k, because if this is an infringement of international, the sanctions, i'm making people leave the country. then what happens? let's listen to my goods fast. oh, lovely. so i have not saw it's about to,

into myself in because many friends of turned themselves in unhappy insight into mexico and mexico. they are practically killing us several bills have been kidnapped into quantity one of the i don't want to go back to venezuela because if there's breakfast, there's no dinner. if there's lunch, there's no dinner. and there are no shoes for the children. for medicines, people are dying and manly. i want to give my children a better quality of life. what can you explain why international is always being broken? yes. well, 1st of all, you have a whole set of treaties of the united states who assigned the un charter, the charter, the organization of american states, and the geneva conventions. oh, those prohibited the use of sanctions that target civilians that harms the things that kill. and i want to emphasize that they kill civilians are, you know, in the 1st year of sanctions, the mortality of venezuelans. and then trump sanctions from 2017,

went up by 40 a by, by 40000 dest. okay? so it's tens of thousands of people that have died in these sanctions at a minimum, and that's just the 1st year. and so i think that this is really important. this is the most important thing to get away with this because most people don't realize that you know, other people have, have admitted this. here's, here's my problem payable. okay, from a press conference when the associated press reporter asked of our sanctions going in venezuela. and he says, well, i think things are really going good for the venezuelan people. he said the humanitarian crisis is tightening by the hour. you can see the increasing pain and suffering of the venezuela people are suffering from that was his exact words. and this was, and he said the same thing about it wrong and they make it and he will, he didn't hide it. okay. for the truck administration. the purpose of these sanctions was to actually harm people and get them to uh,

to overdraw their government, or at least get them out of office. so, oh, and that, that's what the sanctions do. and they know this and people of course will want to get rid of the sanctions. also know this, and it's pretty, it's pretty difficult to hide this. i think that that's one mistakes as well. and is what everybody knows is, you know, just if i can give one example. a similar example you have in congress because you have no, for example, 21. a members of congress have signed a letter just may 1st saying and get rid of the sanctions. and this is the story i just haven't had before. 21 members of congress said, you know, i wrote a letter to the ministrations, get rid of the sanctions on venezuela and cuba. and they said why? because 1st of all they, they said all the things wrong, but they also said that you have the full over $400000.00 mileage at the border increase in the last uh uh, 6 months. and i'm sorry,

in the last year 2022 is 4 or 414000. and that was a 361 percent increase of the migrants from that as well. and june. that's where there's 400000 k for. and so that's what you're so that, that's going to become an issue in the elections going forward. and i think that's one of the reasons they wrote to, to buy them because they know very well and, and, and one of the coated by the way, the lead and the letter was front of escobar, who's a co chair of binds campaigns. so it's a serious political issue as well. okay. i, i wanna bring in, i know that the silver, the presence of brazil q was meeting with the president of venezuela. quite recently tomorrow. i know you said that they were issues with governance before the sanctions were applied. this is what president the silver had to say about those issues. and how mature is dealing with them? the proof by the leaves, is it his fault?

no, it's the united states. his fault, who made an extremely exaggerated blockade. i always say that a blockade is worse than war. because in a wor, usually soldiers in battles died, blockade kills children, women, people who have nothing to do with the ideological dispute at play. i dream of a currency different than the dollar. so we can negotiate between the countries who sell to us their products and who you buy from us for the use quite well. what do you think has been a change in the past 15? yes, because of the sanctions on venezuela. a look, i think those statements, i president luna words very unfortunate and in that say need and you had other presidents including private and body to is also from center last explaining that there are serious concerns about the human rights situation in minnesota. so i, i think we can over simplify the set on prices and talk about whether it's on or

isn't on the responsibility of the us sanctions that's playing into the narrative by then instead of patients that have typically blame someone else for issues for what you say are on me and the size of the body is that part of the responsibility of the us? so would you acknowledge that possibly responsible because um like whats turning up on the border of the us because they caught live, invite us we know anymore. so it's a some risk for migration crisis. the migration increases in minnesota started in 2014. i was in the, at the border interviewing people were leaving and they were leaving because of multiple reasons including, but many times situation before the crisis a was created by section. so i don't think it fact rates his name, the united states for everything i do see, i think as i said, that term policies included in professional economic sanctions has contributed in

large part due to over on science. but i don't think this is about just blaming someone as there is uh, mike to the city of reasons for going to spell as prices and the spelling crisis has 3 dimensions. it's the refugee crisis. it's documented here in crisis. and it's the crash on, on defense that includes the precincts that i want to bring francisco, what i did ask you was what has been achieved. and i also want to add that those sanctions, us sections begin beginning 2006. i people turned off on the board in 2014 passing the same time 9 in a sentence once, but 2 years before 2014 at all. yeah, and 10 to 14 is 2 years before the end, sufficient. that would be good. i'm extensions on minnesota, but i'm not here to defend of the sanctions imposed by that united states. i just think we need to, inc. and i create a picture that includes the impact of factions, but is not necessarily the only reason why venezuela is in but this aspect situation, but it is today. okay, i'll leave out the question i'd like to so,

so to my, i mean, yeah, the go ahead, i'll let you finish, send a version of the head. the only thing i wanted to say is like, i don't think it. yeah. i think it's important to have this conversation because there is a perception of normalization about the situation in minnesota that i think we need to overcome and talk about the fact and not about narrative. as president lewis said in virginia recently in that video to show right. uh, francisco. yeah. yeah. i don't think that there is a major disagreement on uh the diagnosis that sanctions have made an important contribution to that so. so you can on a crisis, but they're that they're not the sole determinants. they're now uh. busy now i also agree with them or that the relevant sanctions, the comic sanctions workforce in 2017. but we also have to understand that as well as a country that says it's highly dependent on over at least an oil prices. then anything

that changes its over at lease is going to deeply impact that. so yes, the migration process started with full force in 2014. as oil prices started collapsing, our presence fell from a $100.00 a barrel to $30.00 a barrel. any time in best long history in any other oil exporting country, that's going to generate a major economic crisis. and that's what happened between 20142016. now what happened from 2017, on a somewhat different because oil prices started recovering in 2017 and grew by 80 percent between uh that moment and 2018. uh and uh, never list best well as economy did not recover as it usually did when our prices will cover. and that's because it's oil sector was collapsing and there's very strong evidence. it's published in and many journals that scientists have had a very significant effect. but i do want to point out something here which is which, which is really important. it relates to something that marks that there's also a very strong published evidence that sanctions have an effect on mortality as he

was saying. and it's not just one of the most well in case of cross national estimates indicate that essentially step is sort of leads to an increase a to a decline of 1.2 years in male life expectancy in francisco years in the mail on august. the thing a huge effect on living condition, i want to bring in a voice from venezuela to add to that concept of we all suffering here because of the sanctions. this is michelle allen of the socialist redeem. and pulsing venezuela has led to a sharp decline in national income, the deterioration of public services, and limited access to essentials such as food and medicine under such a harsh program. and it will be difficult for any government, regardless of their ideology, define appropriate solutions. and even that dependence on government has implemented on what policies the u. s. a. right to impose middle section. i mean, in the us over 40000000 people live below the poverty level. well, senator goldman and that's one of the main functions for corners, faces, clark stations who have sanctioned into us. recently president trump admitted that

his policies towards venezuela weren't aimed at ceasing it's oil. it is only acceptable for any nation to weather nice, their power against less privilege. nations the suffering, the tactics like these have cost to innocent people is simply unforgiveable. most people have started off in this conversation generally, politically, do sanctions work? well, i mean the work is there is the purpose, is it as a bomb po explained to, to make people suffer and make the government more unpopular. but i want to focus or just one minute on the economics of this because i think this will clarify some of the yeah, we have one minute mark, so make it ok. we flip impactful. hyper inflation is it is a really big that's, you know, that's a huge part of this gigantic record decline in the event as well and autonomy and that was caused by the sanctions. i. and you can see that because the typical hyper inflation in latin america since world war 2 is last is 4 months. and then as well

as our last 3 years. and that's only after the sanctions talk about why i'm going to leave us with the voice of president with euro, who is hopeful that by 2024 when elections happen in venezuela, the sanctions will be lifted. have a list and have a look. but we'll have, you have a lot of spoken to so we are going to discuss because we want free elections, free of sanctions, free of unilateral coercive measures. the elections will be free of sanctions. there is no other option. that is the dilemma. do you want free fair and transparent elections then they must be elections free of sanction. leave it as long as you want to. thank you for your comments on each of us as thank you francisco tamara, a mock slipping top of our program today. appreciate it. take care everybody. i seen x the

july on i just think goes to the power of the local election, sort of shift to the right click the country with this another here with the in fall, right? government 11 east meets the indian women, breaking down gender barriers as they fight to become champ, features the coast african need is from across the continent as well. so seeks to strengthen relations with the region. people in power focuses on somalia as a fight for survival. as years of drops and hom conflict have combined to create a humanitarian disaster. as to security becomes increasing global concerns. the united nations launches

a report examining food crises and tongue around the world to live on a jersey to the environment. so let's say one of the strays most of the range, far as on the rest of the penalties for kids, protested one, when a speech those prepared to bring on, i would just hear a we look at the world's top business stories from global markets to economies. in small businesses, so it will be new opportunities, hey, i will bring about new industries, but people are worried about losing that jobs to understand how it affects our daily lives. counting the cost on al jazeera, launching new research into the debt, to discover more about the call that the scientists grabbing much from the sea floor to analyze the tiny creatures within it and quantify how much call that they can move. store. how does to, which is like these and the sea creatures that live in them could provide 6 foot

fence if the call been dropped down that's needed for the rise and global temperatures to $1.00 degrees. the 19 different species they found studied individually. the next step is to identify how vulnerable they are to human activities. much deeper benefit to the seascape and know that to protection controller. the is already false is re the as another neighborhood in the occupied westbank kidding . at least 2 palestinians will be live in rome along the one semi se, then this is alex is here alive from dell hall. so coming up as fighting intensifies between rival ministry factions and so that we hear from those.
