watto it's a major victory for him as he's been working hard to persuade venezuela's armed forces to abandon president nicolas maduro let's hear a bit of what the general had to say. i'm addressing you today to say that i reject the illegitimate and dictatorial authority of mr nicolas maduro and except one quite do as the president in charge of the boulevard republic of venezuela ninety percent of the armed forces oppose the dictator and support the venezuelan people let's go straight out to the venezuelan capital caracas where you correspondent oscar shrinker is standing by for us an oscar can you tell us a bit more about this general statement could this be the beginning of the end for president maduro. well that's what many opposition think so he think this will be the domino effect on the armed forces because there are serious allegations that this general in the aviation division says including that ninety percent of the

military is against the dictatorship of nicolas maduro as he said now that commander in chief of the aviation department has said that this general has absolutely no leadership within truth or has any leadership in the aviation department but it is obvious that he is one of the leading generals can plan if occasion with the aviation so it definitely puts a question mark on the that loyalty that that might who are out of government and government is saying that they have from the military in fact two days slogan for them is no no more traitors and all to loyalty so we're seeing some of that in the demonstrations in favor of my will today woodrow seem to give up a little ground and proposing to hold congressional not presidential elections earlier than planned is that enough to satisfy his critics absolutely no not his

critics are in the congress and holding congressional elections there is an attack a frontal attack against that. power that is the only one that's being recognized as democratic internationally so in fact this put it in bold and. it has congressman here in venezuela against michael don't not favor them at all but you are out today with the protesters what were you hearing from them. well i was with the opposition protesters today and a lot of them were very hopeful that this is the beginning of the end of what they say is a battle of twenty years of protest against this revolution now many of them came from a bit of a small and have turned their backs on mother who don't they are same a lot of them were saying that they cannot find any medicines that food is very

expensive that they cannot find a lot of the things that they could find before and that's why they were protesting today in order to ask the government to allow this humanitarian aid to enter the country ok. or in caracas thanks for that and now to some of the other stories making news around the world in the united states democrat governor ralph northam has reviewed refused to resign from office because arthur says he was not the person who appeared in a racist photo in his nine hundred eighty four medical school yearbook northam is facing massive pressure to resign politicians across the board including top democratic presidential candidates for myself and. the central african republic has reached a peace deal with fourteen armed groups after several days of talks the first ever direct dialogue between the parties was aimed at ending years of conflict has killed thousands of people and displaced hundreds of thousands more.
