but here boy here is typical farms have been abandoned it goes into a ghetto you've got all of the money that was invested here is lost. if we have neither the sugar cane that used to be cultivated here and gave the sugar nor do we have the vegetables that were supposed to be grown here to feed the venezuelan people. and as well as. the result is a hunger crisis more than three million venezuelans have fled the country after syria it's the world's biggest refugee crisis. neither sees our buddies nor one quite knows convoy are making headway the road is closed. they move my. believe we've been stuck in this traffic jam for over an hour and the information we have is that the government so either the military or the police have parked

a truck sideways across the other end of the cabrera tunnel to block the convoy from passing through when. they believe it possible. to bypass the road block cesar and his driver turn around the bus carrying the lawmakers is stuck in the tunnel. they're going to have a matter where you go but we've had word why dole is in the black jeep cherokee ahead of us. now we're looking for an alternative route to reach the employees and the colombian border. but no matter what route sezar and his driver take the military is a step ahead it's blocked whole side ramps.

but included a state there's a road block every three hundred meters we've never seen anything like it. will still make it and the humanitarian aid will get into venezuela. a police or military roadblock can remain in place for hours says are has lost track of the convoy. that they say. but that's a lie the but the old. people's nerves are starting to fray. and you just want to go home a confrontation erupts with the national guard. picked up and we complained because we wanted to continue our journey. i kept. reading here for a long while and are tired after work. i was attacked by two female and two male soldiers split up my husband and my brother tried to defend me and were both arrested. like

you did the rest of my husband my brother and my seven year old son. and they haven't caught me yet because i ask people here for help. but the situation in venezuela is that people just accept it because we are all afraid because they attack us but it is not like hey the military does it and we just put up with it but i think the taliban up. after twelve hours on the road says our hasn't even made it halfway to the venezuelan border city of san antonio he's starting to don't whether he'll reach his destination in time. but i will not be played out until there's hope that you can sense the hope and the determination among all of the. supporters they did with the region they believe

that they'll reach the border between and they'll get the humanitarian aid and. awareness that what they're confronted by repressive forces trying to prevent that poor. little thing you know the fact that your latency but if a government resorts to violence to stop the aid from coming into the country. that nicolas maduro knows this. then the international community could launch investigations going all the way to the international criminal court in the us about it but then i'm going after another. the burning question is how will the venezuelan military react until now the generals have stood firmly behind nicolas maduro. in redmond bill you're going to move what he might in the armed forces are a pandora's box that hasn't yet been opened. by

water coconuts. in the state of touch era which borders colombia long lines form a gas stations it's a paradox venezuela possesses the world's largest proven oil reserves and yet its refineries are dilapidated run by the military with no expertise venezuela has to import fuel and here you can buy eight hundred liters of gas for the price of a bottle of mineral water because the state subsidizes gas. well look at these q go see the corner with. their typical for this stake. since gas is so cheap air it's no wonder there's a brisk trade in smuggling gas to colombia. they backed it up. with that's why there are such a long lines at the gas. stations. hit israel as military and colombia's

yelling guerrillas control the lucrative contraband fuel trade after thirty six hours three times longer than planned sezar reaches the seimone boulevard bridge on the border thousands cross it each day to buy things no longer available in venezuela or to escape the country altogether i don't know that they're always there when you want to throw it out or they will find that the you know the best of . the. one million venezuelans have fled to neighboring colombia. but have a valid. others travel on from here to chile a room or ecuador she. was out with outline of how much to the casino hotel. was a place twelve that much. says our discovers that the lobby of this hotel is

a good place to conduct research lots of put duros political opponents are in town . like louisa or take a d.m. has been as well as former prosecutor general in twenty seventeen she called nicolas maduro policies unconstitutional to escape arrest she fled to colombia with a suitcase full of incriminating documents she hopes they'll be used to bring charges of human rights violations against president maduro at the international criminal court in the hague tribunal fulcrum where you know the beast from within my door as i'm chop is a more the apparatus of power and you know it well and that in the past the government had lots of resources to overcome crises and why are you convinced madeira won't survive this one that they think no us i live i'm alluding metaphysically. it so you go they see that put it in the line convinced because who for the first time get all of venezuela's democratic powers are united on that who took no. this is no fight of the traditional opposition that was young he said last

you know coward and there's nothing as ition within china of islam itself to these people who once believed in this project but don't anymore putting in so. volunteers are waiting at the colombian side of the border most are venezuelans they want to bring the aid which has been supplied by the us the e.u. and other countries into venezuela by human chain if necessary. winning this is listen eat breakfast quickly and then come to the tea and beat us bridge we'll be waiting for you then so eat and go there see you i embrace you because today's the day we must do all we can to free venezuela you'll see it's not

just about getting the aid through him we must to free our country let him. know that tied up your. national. test just. come. to me that i want you out on it out there i don't know but then they look at it by signing it and oh you're lazy we have video i doubt it though they told you. that you know you see it warning they love it when you do so don't go for not doing it during president thirty three this morning the humanitarian aid was officially handed over to one quite like the interim president of venezuela where he. got at this moment he's in colombia giving a press conference together with the presidents of current why and colombia and the secretary general of the organization of american. tate's luis

a marker in. there calling on the venezuelan military to stop the violence and allow humanitarian aid into the country but i'd say fill out your name sleep at a meeting and get so little money that. by letting the aid in the military would be sending a clear message that it recognizes why don't as interim leader by stopping the supplies at the border it would show it remains loyal to mudra so there's far more at stake here than just aid it's about the power of images and a showdown between two men who both claim to be venezuela's legitimate president. and a good time are going coming or going to come as far as we can go on the bridge. and we can't go any further because the colombian police have cordoned it off putting. in clinton at the end of the bridge the containers and the tanker truck are blocking the entrance to the bridge and in this in seem like

a film and they go overboard on the truck we can see a camera person and a journalist who are looking over at our side the second loan b.-a own come our order for yet up and say must be waiting to see if something happens on this side of the colombian venezuelan border and i do we kow towing at that angle and said there. there enough and then a whole lot more innocent than a. lot. on the colombian side of the last hindi to international bridge all the cameras are pointed toward venezuela. but nothing happens. but then. several hours pass and still nothing happens. but this is what the air. turns to the attendee to

bridge into the town looks like the guy who got good food can see the trucks carrying the humanitarian aid and the people who follow the money not only build up the road where these trucks going. far. far beyond our little family to our brain yellow the heart of these trucks are now going to. rain yet my eyes on the venezuelan side of the send tender bridge and it's over this bridge that the aid convoy wants to try to cross the border. but moments later one of the trucks goes off in flying machine on the santander bridge an ultra cation erupts between demonstrators and venezuelan security forces there for the federal i mean here i crossed the border line here between venezuela and colombia on this entente a bridge to tear gas attacks again like them or not. report it for the two

accordance will there be for not a weapon out there you can see lots of men throwing stones toward the venezuelan side of the lens and go. like this you're never. there when i come out of the oval not like tear gas cartridge went off right next to the journalists he thought my god i had just been fired i mean it was no no you better look on that and some crude up there or hopefully no one was hit. any philosophical it was tossed into the river right away but the smell still quite strong. and i don't know how much the throwing molotov cocktails careful not to make it's a fire to the truck that. was. no one here knows which side set the truck on

fire or whether they did it on purpose or by accident however. the money a little bit i have big you can see that a truck is going up in flames that night and all of the men are the first truck that try to cross the bridge operated by that and then they're calling for mafia killing them the thought of the people fighting here say it was the venezuelan police who set the truck on fire when it was an audio going to fall on a killing fan the out all night and if i am going to live a propaganda war rages in the media and social networks some blame a duro security forces and call for a military intervention in their eyes the burning truck is a symbol of materials flagrant violation of human rights others believe my door as opponents at the fire to discredit him but maybe it was simply an accident was. some of the relief supplies onboard can be

salvaged off the tide. but on this day not a single aid package makes it across the border from colombia to venezuela. many people's hopes have been dashed that the military would switch sides. meanwhile in caracas president maduro announces that he is severing diplomatic relations with colombia and closing the borders between the two countries. getting close. to. the border between venezuela and colombia has now been closed for two days but people are still crossing. back and forth using what's known as truck us illegal

trails that lead right through the river it's a dangerous route as the churches are controlled by criminal gangs anyone who wants to cross over here must pay. for the police and the military on both sides of the border simply look the other way. for the. our young venezuelan refugees have gathered under the border bridge some are still children they call themselves loud resistance yeah the resistance to the majority regime. but we mustn't we didn't get through their ages they just smirked at us but he who laughs last laugh spezza being you will be giving more. and who will

that be. good order some of us read it looks like a military intervention is off the table. and it's our own soil and no one knows if why dover turned of an asylum today this. nor was seen anywhere on the tube. in la so the game still wide open. till. the. cows fight. fight. fight. that. then i mean yes you know right now we're reporting from the cmon bully our bridge where the venezuelan national guard has advanced almost to the colombian border for nanda. i think.

the young people center frustration at the venezuelan police on the other side of the bridge pelting them with stones and sticks. people are injured. in cuckoo does love karada district right behind the border bridge the situation has remained calm many venezuelan refugees now live here some of the one million who sought shelter in colombia. are going to have to want to feel we are going to get back out and i came here the people in this house helped me and for that i'm

grateful that the folks here like my family my soul candy is here lollipops cakes that i was in the some days i didn't sell a thing and couldn't pay my rent or went to bed hungry the end of what i didn't complain i didn't want to burden anyone i think i know my father in law and you know what i guess and i come from an agricultural zone the took the name of valley the state of iowa that was it was once a very productive area with lots of small farms it was i'm a small farmer from there myself unfortunately i had to leave because we had nothing no seeds no fertilizer nothing instead we were dispossessed then lost the little we had left since the farm supply business our crockpot trail was nationalized agriculture in the entire area has ground to a halt mr president use your common sense look at our states and acknowledge the problems you've created because you are to blame for what we're going through because on the part of the compass on the good good what do you think about what's happened. now the moment. you can't find corn meal in the supermarket but you can

find it on the black market and there are cost two or three times as much harm if you use that corruption is a booking that is corruption because who supplies the black market vendor. ok someone has to get him the goods that he sells is americans as a persona and yesterday does that affect you nothing in all of it is one snuck up little innocent. wilma is why he was once a political ally of hugo chavez but in two thousand and eight began to investigate corruption within the chavez family since then he's been arrested twice and tortured by the secret police for going to get them to according to the information we have i'll tell you across the board even the biggest idiot has a hundred million dollars why is the country in the state it is because of the corruption it's not the sanctions it's not donald trump oh yvonne duca no it's

because they had stolen everything. and the state of venus they have their stooges who hide the money of the ministers. well that's ministers to us where the government now. and the day will come when there will be justice in venezuela and many truths will be uncovered that we still know nothing about. the us. corruption is one of the root causes of the venezuelan crisis and of the country's frequent power outages say czar has uncovered cases of corruption in the nationalized energy sector and the question of political. in the us it will take electricity. let me give you an example at the moment. first of all the power grid grow old and decrepit the one american senate second you declare an electricity crisis that they have patched third the crisis lets you award contracts without having to call for tenders for think this gives. the chance to hand out contracts to your friends to

contact the honeycombs single with your friends help you can inflate prices they buy articles on it but as. citizens you can also buy junk instead of new equipment . but other people who still think the seventh place as a result people die because the power goes off in hospitals and the people in the hope done but guess who eleanor. was the. forget anything is why did you leave why did you feel even if.

all. of. the crisis has also increased tensions with the world's major powers the us russia and china are pursuing their own interests it's about geopolitics and oil. and i just mean that these guys who feel threatened the day to see. that. and their medicine idea came the first scenario is that maduro stays in power and rules over a land in ruins. and the second scenario is that there's a transition and initiated by the minister whalen's themselves. but that will result in deaths. so the crew executed by the military but with a transitional government in which civil authorities would also take part. should

there be a coup in such a scenario would be the most successful one. a scenario in which power doesn't all wind up with the military but with the government composed of the military and civilians by you. know the civil authorities that would be we don't know yet cynically that really sorry and the third scenario which i see as being the most likely one is a transition that's the result of an international military intervention in international national. work you want to. order to rethink your. people here. venezuela's fate no longer lies in the hands of venezuelans alone the outcome of this power struggle is still wide open. you can wage your complete play always said

i want to perform my job as a journalist from the opposite side of the street. no that's where we always need to be but with another government. it's my duty to confront those in power to raise a critical voice regardless of which government is in power and when it. says our bodies is back in venezuela but the story doesn't end here one point zero has also returned the government and the opposition are calling on their supporters to take to the streets a week after caesar's return finished suffered a massive near total blackout that lasted five days it left twenty million people without drinking water or electricity and led to the deaths of dozens of patients in darkened hospitals were.
