is in caracas following the situation for us that osca bring us up to date with the latest that has made his way to see major protests once again today. yes there are protests even today this hour so the culture that we have been monitoring the protests already because it was the year with most protests in but they were the center of this region for whom we were talking and spread out through different oh this is that we want to live in the city well the opposition has done she does one thing is you're not always this intense in the public to you know what political protest in support of one with all the largest ones we've seen in recent history were yesterday so protests are likely to rise in the political concert continue yet since the way we're just again on monday there have been three hundred twenty extended the sixteen dead if the concert persists we will unfortunately see

a rise in this number. and we understand meanwhile that my daughter has appeared in public as president i mean what to what extent does he still have support in the country. well just recall the car let along visual to protect the presidential palace and nobody showed up they also had to change the location of this to a police that could fit less because his followers were leaving the concentration it is safe to state that disapproval ratings for not doing even within the charges that eludes evident with the protests that we've seen about the slums that were traditional governance started when resources could mean take the benefits but with the economic crisis in the high school the world has made into possible for mother who got to keep up with this then if it's a child is they're going to his wife and there's a lot of points in the approval ratings and also the military for one has throwing its weight behind my daughter and what does that mean well understood within the highways of the military because there is

a sort of coed systems and evidence of corruption like no other country i went in the fish will tell economic and political interests that i lost military analyst and most wanted to keep him in power and i wanted. her questions have been reduced but i don't know that it's going to snake through twitter yesterday she didn't make it official announcement. a lot of relief interest is being put into the middle of the reckon officials of the military however any of this change within the car or a lot of days that we are seeing this early two hours for the us that's the city to leave the country we're seeing where we are in the middle of our diplomats and are there has not been resolved until we see what happens after the seventy two hours that come about being correspondent in caracas thank you. and in the last couple of hours the u.s. secretary of state my compiler has also been delivering remarks regarding venezuela

and covering the story from washington is our correspondent my and my what did mike i have to say. this whole situation in venezuela is actually quite a bit of a triumph for the trump administration because they have taken a very hard line against majority really from the moment they came into office and what we saw from pump air today was a real doubling down of what we heard president trump say right when this was all happening he was supporting the new president he's warning against the use of force on these mass demonstrations that we see happening he denounced what he called off their. all for a tarion regimes around the world which have been backing when he also said that the u.s. is going to be pledging twenty million u.s. dollars in aid to venezuela and he also went a step further and called the draw an illegitimate president and called for him to

step aside very similarly to what we heard president trump say my russia the united states again and intervening in venezuela presumably washington isn't looking at military intervention at this stage. we've heard trump come out yesterday in the evening and say that all options were on the table and while he was pointedly asked about the military options he said well the military options never ruled out and all options are on the table so while i don't think the u.s. is going to be rushing into a military confrontation in latin america they certainly aren't above using the threat of it to push for their agenda a correspondent in washington good to talk to thanks miles. let's get you up to date now with some of the other stories making news around the world pope francis is in panama to celebrate world youth day the catholic church is annual celebration has built an estimated one hundred fifty thousand people from
