called upon to rescue their constitution and overthrow president nicolas maduro today. with his generals in a military parade in the capital caracas declaring victory over an attempted coup tonight from rising up to flatline he did democracy in venezuela just miss its only window of opportunity i bring in berlin this is the day. the soldiers of the motherland a time to fight has come to. destroy our old company or an opportunity to use the i don't wind up a bit our part of it is for progress to detritus no to the plotters nobody can be afraid it's time to defend the right to have peace we want to maintain the best relations with the united states. ministrations we do get to do this thing them for

thirty to determination to defend democracy in our region i think that's been very much. the better place in venezuela the national forces are consistent loyal. united as never before. defeating the attempted coup plotters who sell themselves for the dollars of washington. also coming up the medium of the moment the lessons of the past tonight using instagram to keep the memories of the holocaust alive and well of it for younger generations it's startling to watch it on instagram just because you know stories about the holocaust and you know what happened there but then to see on instagram completely break the idea of what the media. has traditionally been in the past so i would say that was a little bit taken aback by it. well to our viewers

on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the world watching but its way and wondering is this how a movement ends today a president nicolas maduro appeared on national television standing beside his generals serving a military parade now if you had turned off the volume and just watched the images you could have easily thought that it was just a typical parade in a country where a strongman ruler is comfortably in charge or turn the sound on and the reality jokes you what you hear is mature oh proclaiming victory against an attempted coup which he says was led by the united states of just two days ago that it's one of those opposition leader one quite zero surprised his supporters by announcing the start of the final push to overthrow president nicolas maduro there were demonstrations and signs that the military would stand with. but it quickly took

a different direction there were no major military defections the demonstrations against midyear were never reached that critical mass threats by the u.s. apparently did not convince mature eggs men to turn against him here is what said just hours ago. homan orcas loyalty is a value that either you have or you don't in the case of these historic moment loyalty is a collective value exercise does a nation exercised as a people and exercised as an institution as a collective value a lot of people went up how many deaths would it be if a civil war erupted he because of the foolishness of the coup plotters and try to is how much physical destruction and how many years would be lost in a war if they invited us because we're never going to give up how many years would we spend in a war of resistance already a monitor. now to our correspondent oscar shrinker he is standing by for us in

caracas good evening to you oscar i want to start with the news of this arrest warrant that has been issued for opposition politician leopoldo lopez what do we know beyond that well ask you know yes what survives. on tuesday through this through what's happened and he is now. the spanish embassy as against what this means the supreme court and all of that while the oldest house arrest commission that for a couple of years and now wants to put him back in jail this is a bit complex when i was in educational matter because when we go on this recognize this president over fifty nations including spain sound for this freedom on tuesday so now the difficulty lies in spain well there are some of the newly elected plans to do it with their own laws to this complexity i don't want us to go as father was

a citizen well elected as our military and here and you know last week rivers sentenced bang in a basement and seek asylum in spain because yesterday he was standing there and. yet if he gets an oscar if we see this being done against lopez this evening what about one if madeira says that quite it was part of this attempted coup what are the chances of him issuing an arrest warrant for why don't. well all these chances as always just isn't there has always been the threat of one well being arrested and there have been more that while attempting to do so i think that there is a lot of pressure on the government from the base to arrest one way gone but there's also a lot of pressure international which not to do so and. sorrow absent

now does curative team of my way down that's increased they are their operations to manage and stuff with a lot of security and for that increased the numbers is it because of an increased risk to his safety yes there is definitely increased increased risk to the safety and we've seen that with this team there's not more security that they are keeping a low profile for much forms events that we've been seeing yesterday and the day before. he is not keeping such a low profile today compared to the past two days of the we saw him today with his generals at a military parade in caracas what does that tell was about how he perceives his power tonight. well i think it's important for our roots to shower

off there is unity within the our force because what we saw on tuesday with the freedom of not want openness and with the school it's never been there lies a nation on its sic is that there are fractures within the armed forces and he does not have complete control there is a break in command from what went on tuesday and it's important for him to show there is unity supporting him within the armed forces so that's my reasoning much more often to gather with military and on forces today and ask you what about the influence of russia and the united states and venezuela tonight is russia tonight at least looking like it has the upper hand. well there are analysts that suggest that in the future and that's what i was in the hands of negotiations between russia and the united states and that's what we have been seeing that's in

the past unique it is evidence that both countries want to broaden what happens here and i asked him to. hear a little strategy that any kind of economic interest there is nothing in the next way that russia can get a better price elsewhere in iraq that their their presence here is priceless because that's my last oil resources and borders with a long yeah brazil and it's near the united states and other countries in the region for russia there is more of a geopolitical be sent to kiev as well and for the united states there's also an interest to keep russia away from the region but all this goes beyond the economic interests because there's little. times in the past years our infrastructure is not what used to be crime is rampant and constant crisis and turmoil making and spencer richard she said any kind industry so we have to take that into balance when we. go shish and play out between russia and the united states the group's leader

reporting from caracas tonight thank you where europe has been criticized for its relative silence this week regarding events and business weyler earlier we spoke to andreas nick he is a member of the german parliament with chancellor merkel's c.d.u. party and he sits on the foreign affairs committee. i think we have a clear position that you undertow is a legitimate interim president of an assailant in accordance with the constitution of an assailant. we call on everyone involved to refrain from a while and seek a peaceful solutions to a national dialogue and a democratic transition that can only be resolved through a fair and free elections and to enable that and to make that possible i think. moderate has to step aside i think there were rumors of the last from the base he was already plotting he said refuge to cuba i'm not sure how.

realistic that scenario is but it's clear that neither the majority i do at the moment can it can secure the full support of the of thier authorities in a minister ala so that statement may continue for quite a while. but it would have been strongly supportive of all the countries in the region in the name of proof of working together for a peaceful transition in the country we should never forget that there's a refugee crisis was more than ten percent more than three million people and permanents and i would have left the country in two or neighboring countries of the region which is a significant risk of the stabilizing the region as a whole so we are strongly supports our partners in colombia ecuador peru and other countries who and why involved in that i was in the region myself and separator that was a federal presence and we support in terms of giving refuge to the people fleeing

minister ala in terms of securing a humanitarian support for those remaining in a circular and in working towards a peaceful transition and i think once it's going to go we can be even more helpful in terms of supervising and monitoring as you facilities an election process that should be fair and legitimate and put to use and you government for an answer. and that was. speaking with us he's a member of the german parliament and sits on the four affairs committee so where are we now it's where you live to talk about that i'm joined by francisco marquez he is a political advisor to opposition leader one why do francisco was imprisoned by president nicolas maduro for four months after his release he left the country he joins me tonight from washington d.c. francisco welcome it's good to have you back on the program i know that you've been answering this question today from a lot of people and it's still relevant tonight explain the last forty eight hours

to which was this a political gamble that did not pay all well i wish that we've seen the highest level defections in the last forty eight hours than we've ever had during this process i always call to mind manuel christopher he was the director of intelligence of the regime and it is widely known fact that he contributed an coronated with president and just to give another fact the highest level political prisoner of the regime you know paul opus was also able to leave the house arrest and he's currently on the street just like if this was such a coup d'etat or if the dude has full control of security forces why he's president why dos still on the street still practicing politics still trying to restore constitutional order. my argument and president why does argument is that we've

actually moved forum of those weaker and now than he was for you know hours ago francisca do you know how many soldiers nail support one. well for city of purposes we can get into that but i can tell you that the majority of the security forces are with president i don't and it's no secret we have to be very a front with the people that are still some security forces with a regime that's not a surprise but what has surprised many people is the level of support the president has for security forces and we will continue to see more defections as days and moving forward for sure that this is that so that you can confirm that the majority of the soldiers the majority of the military is now with one go i go. yes and as we have stated before the transition is a process this sometimes take unfortunately more time that we would like but if i would have told you two weeks ago that the director of intelligence of the regime

was was in court a nation with interim president why don't you probably would not have believed me but now that's a fact and it's so true that they they just replaced him with another figure just like it's true that most do right now is surrounded by people that promise that he would he would leave that day this is a complicated issue but rest assured that the people of venezuela millions of people on the street support president want to go and that's what's most important why go has the people's hearts and wedo has the people's interest in all his policies and everything he's trying to do. but how do you explain the military parade that we sold today in caracas with nicolas maduro he was standing there with the is top military min decided. yes and i invite you to if you can post that clip where the minister of defense says that people were trying to buy him off and the surprise face of the regime of nicolas maduro

that this was an act a show is weaker than he's ever been and anybody can paint a picture with a couple of security forces around him and that's what trying to do but the fact of the matter is he's lost control as i mentioned before. opus the top political prisoner left his house and he was surrounded by intelligence officials and counter military counter intelligence and he left with no problem that's because they followed interim president why those order i want to ask you there are reports that opposition leaders spent months in secret talks with top officials including that it's where he lives defense minister mr adreno lopez i mean did those talks really take place yes i can confirm that you have a president and as we have said before there are other talks this is not this is only the tip of the iceberg as we have mentioned before international pressure and the message pressure is working it is creating the conditions for more and more

defections and more fractures and that is why the pressure will continue if the u.s. is the united states is it taking part in these talks as well. this is the venice one led movement by the venice own people and for the venezuelan people it's the same reason that january twenty third when president oath to office we had the support of more than twenty countries that day obviously the us supported us but now we have more than fifty six countries so everything we're doing is event but definitely supported by the international community what about the speculation that the opposition may have been tricked by mr adreno and others close to me. into thinking that a deal was being put into place i mean you guys set up. i don't believe that's the case again look at the support of this

was a nationwide movement by security forces this is only the tip of the iceberg and we will definitely see how everything plays out in the next couple days and next couple weeks as the pressure continues as we said before mother was surrounded by people that wanted his head on a platter and he knows that now and. i want to ask you what about what elliott abrams the u.s. envoy for venezuela he he claims that the u.s. did not take part in the negotiations between the opposition and members of the media or regime but he says there is a document that talks about a play and for. leaving have you seen that document. i cannot comment on that matter but what i can say is that talks between high level regime officials and interim president i don't know did take place and those talks were significant and in those talks these are some officials promise that i do know

would be out and as i said before this is a complicated and complex process but in the following weeks in the following days we will see more to come we going to bite of the u.s. president he was talking today about that its way let me see if we can play that right now take a listen to what he said about but it's whale like to begin by sending our prayers to the people of venezuela in their right to struggle for freedom. the brutal repression of the venezuelan people must stand and it must and soon people are starving they have no food they have no water and this was once one of the wealthiest countries in the world so we wish them well we'll be there to help and we are there to help we wish them well does that sound like a u.s. president who was ready to go to bat for you francisco with what are you hearing

from the white health's. we definitely think the prayers of the president and the people and all the world and i would just like to say this is been a bipartisan issue for the last years and right now we have the full support of the united states government to restore democracy in minnesota so the commitment strong from the u.s. and from the most latin america today we've seen more and more. comments by colombia and by lima group members then they will support president why don't in everything he's done and i would just like to highlight very quickly the unprecedented an unprecedented nature of what you've seen we we saw interim president ordering security forces to restore constitutional order against a usurping regime and the most of the international community led america supported this movement there was no condemnation and there was no violence during this situation so it is very rare and unprecedented and so we have the full support for israel let me in our region and in the world before we run out of time ask you do

you believe that nicolas maduro is holding on to power with the help of russia. there are definitely bad actors in going to just like cuba and russia and this is a fact but i would like to say on russia the russia is not a monolith there are high level officials in russia that are not definitely not pleased with how some people are handling the renaissance in russia it is in the very interest of russia and china to restore democracy in venezuela because the fact of the matter is that russia or china will never get its investment back under the regime it will have an open and frank discussion with the democratic forces in the future once democracy is to store for its good markets political advisor to get its way liz opposition leader born gordon francisco we've you taking the time to talk with this. we talk again soon thank you. thank you for having me.

israel today marked its annual holocaust. today the nation came to a standstill as people pause to remember the six million jews murdered by the nazis during world war two. this comes amid the largest spike in anti-semitic violence in decades experts say part of the reason is that memories of the holocaust are fading now there's a new project with an innovative way to keep those memories alive assman is here to tell us more coral how do you pass on these these difficult memories from generation to generation right i mean that's the question here and the idea is to use instagram to bring some of these difficult stories these emotional stories to a younger audience you could kind of think of this brand as an frank's diary but imagine if instead of a diary out a smartphone take a look. for. this film depicting the german army entering hungary

during world war two might look like a hollywood film production but it's not in fact it was shot on a smartphone and portrayed format for an instagram audience it tells the true story of thirteen year old eva hyman in nineteen forty four she kept a daily journal for three months before the nazis deported to auschwitz but even a story is told in the first person as if she had a smartphone during the holocaust and could have regularly documented it on instagram is israeli tech entrepreneur marty coffee personally financed the project and together with his daughter directed it with the help of social media they're trying to establish a new way to remember the horrors of the holocaust museums and books and we bring the cost in a meaningful way into the social media. and young people. and young users are already starting to discuss story online many have suggested the effect heavy instagram portrayal is too superficial for

a story of such suffering others appeared to be impressed we break yeah yeah but the media. has traditionally been in the past so i would say that was a little bit taken aback thousands are now learning about the fate of hymen she gave her diary to a neighbor shortly before she was deported to auschwitz it survived she did not she was murdered in october of nineteen forty four. three these are powerful stories this seems like a great idea was the background in a powerful story and to tell it's you know this wasn't just your typical kind of low budget do it yourself instagram project there was a lot of money a lot of time invested in this the director who we saw in that piece spend millions of his own dollars with a cast and crew of nearly four hundred people those military costumes the tanks the trucks you see there those are all authentic he also developed a camera i mean you can see a lot of these shots they look like the main character there is filming on

a phone he developed a special camera to get that effect there so far i mean the money here seems to be well spent in just a few weeks this account has eight hundred thousand followers and counting a lot of people paying attention so the reception for the project has been good it's been good i mean you saw in the piece a lot of young people it's reaching its target audience however there is some pushback especially in israel itself or this topic is so sensitive some people there say hey look maybe this kind of selfie culture isn't the right way to tell such a sensitive topic i mean and if you look at some of these videos you know it's not shying away from the way that young people use instruments the hashtags they're like hash tag of life during war or location tag that simply says ghetto i mean one could argue the bat is being potentially a little bit insensitive here when it comes to during about something like the holocaust this though does have a very high profile supporter brant we're talking about israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu himself and here's what he said about the project where we want

to move. now i want to encourage you each and every one of you to also make a story about people who were murdered in the holocaust so that the world will understand and that we will remember what we've lost and what we've gained back with the establishment of the stakes in israel. because. we were talking you know this generation it's on its disappearing and. and you want to keep these memories alive this is certainly one way of doing it you have to be careful though how the story is told but you know no matter what i mean this was meant to grab people's attention i think it's definitely succeeded in that there is the worry that you will have people. taking selfies which just happened right yeah which does happen i mean i think the way that this was told though the story here it was sensitively done told us me as always thank you. thanks for watching we'll see the more.
