11:09 am
country. this regime the disease power has no right to declare anyone persona non-grata this is simply a threat and that's how it should be same by the free world the german ambassador and his country have helped bring in humanitarian i. mean it seems the madeira regime won't tolerate anyone who wants to help venice why la. i wouldn't say that the german envoy was among a group of diplomats who met quite at the airport on his return to caracas on monday helping him evade arrest. so far daniel crean a is the only one of them to be expelled the government accusing him of meddling in internal affairs germany says this kind of pressure won't work. judge a book just like you'll have to determine government has decided to recognize one guy do as interim president who should bring about free fair and democratic
11:10 am
elections in venezuela this. is completely income prehensile reaction will in no way change our positions are still live. and quite as most important back steps up its campaign to topple madeira. the united states will revoke seventy seven visas including many officials of the duro regime and their families we will continue to hold them to during regime accountable until labor todd is restored in venezuela. matures expulsion of a western diplomat and the tightening of u.s. sanctions it's just the latest round in the battle between madeira and his opponents abroad. as venezuela's political crisis deepens our political correspondent hans brunt is tracking this story for us hi hands of the german foreign minister has said is in comprehensible that mother lois regime would
11:11 am
declare the german ambassador persona non-grata but is it because germany has been very vocal with its support for one guy though the opposition leader. yes indeed in the last few weeks couple of months germany has again and again criticized the duras regime and emphasize that it sees one guy joe as the legitimate interim president often as a way that was also reaffirmed by the foreign minister in his reaction to this expulsion of the german ambassador that leaves germany in something of a bind why don't himself in an interview with the german media has said today that germany should ignore this decree by madhura because it does not recognize the dura as president if germany does that obviously it leaves the ambassador in a very difficult situation so what germany has done now is that it has say that it is recalling its own ambassador from venezuela for consultations back to berlin
11:12 am
that's the compromise that's been taken at the moment but has germany is by far not the only country to publicly support those so why is germany here being singled out in a some basket or being expelled i think it has something to do with the role of the ambassador himself when more than a dozen ambassadors met. the caracas effort in venezuela on monday well coming back to venezuela and preventing him basically from being in a race that by supporters of the dura the german ambassador in some sense emerged as a kind of spokes person for that group of investors and i think of him as well and government under all the of the dora's side of the government needed to find some way of reacting to that situation at the airport basically that picked on the german ambassador in the first reaction as their. punishment basically for what happened in month on monday at the port why has venezuela's political crisis become so important to germany. well germany sees itself here very much as part of western
11:13 am
alliance the european union in the first row and then of course cooperation with a large number of other countries including of course of the united states canada and a number of south american countries one also has to see that germany is in the united states a united nations security council at the moment where a number of resolutions from the waist criticizing them with their own government putting pressure on that have been blocked have been vetoed by russia and china so what we're looking at here is basically an international confrontation around a country that off the wall is quite strategically important we have to remember that venezuela is one of the very largest producers of of all in the world so it's a confrontation that goes way beyond germany and venezuela it's a confrontation between the west and china and russia internationally. reporting there thank you very much you're watching news still to come on the program
