well. while if it's not being made to reopen roads and reach many people at ground level in many cases a lift is still the only option full the injured. as the hours tick by the chances of race you work is finding survivors is diminishing rapidly. you're watching the news from berlin for more follow us on twitter a check in on our website e.w. dot com i'm told me a lot of well thanks for watching. it's all happening good job it coming. your link to news from africa the world your link to exceptional stories and discussions continue and will come to either of you suffocating program tonight from funny to me from the news of easy to our i would say do deputed come smash africa join us on facebook at g.w.

africa. every 2 seconds a person is forced to flee that home nearly 71000000 people around the world have been forcibly displaced more than ever before one is marion saudia who now lives in berlin every month she sends money to venezuela so that her family doesn't go hungry. i am. going to follow. all. that m.s.e. . now. i know but i know you have to say that i want to stick up like i said get out there

but at least i mean. i don't i think that i could be one of the by the book that the money's going back but. let's have all. known to know the most i know you can you don't have to go but it's an ok i'm going to call me. ok but i'm going i'm overseas that's. ok. millions of venezuelans have left the country fleeing poverty and despair even though venezuela has the largest proven petroleum reserves in the world. venezuela was once south america's richest nation now it's a commie has collapsed sparking one of the worst migrant crises of recent years.

after. 'd say so but he says a venezuelan journalist who's been documenting the crisis. over the last figure go to jail and there are take them out of orbit on one of a global although no one has already said that the military they want to handle. and. yet here i am i think they are your own you know going to come in and

run out for every little thing and here they are an advantage of. a kilo of meat 430000 believe us more than twice the country's average monthly wage many people are angry and afraid protests have swept the country in the capital caracas and elsewhere security forces have responded with violence hundreds of people killed. last. we are able to determine that some people were killed because their names were on the government's food assistance list what about if the people in charge of those lists inform the security authorities that they taking part in anti-government protests. but if. it's very worrying. the lists are a form of social control they determine who has

a right to food. and they determine who's for or against moderate government at the end of the order that they will get. but this is embodied in us the state in the northwest of the country as editor of the online news site and he's taken on a powerful opponent the government of president nicolas maduro. in thrall to money and greed the country's oil riches have proven to be a curse. at all across refinery is 300 kilometers east of caracas the country's abundant oil reserves are belied by the desolation here venezuela is not alone in this paradox

other nations original such as nigeria and golan sudan are ruled by a corrupt elite while ordinary people live in better poverty corruption and mismanagement helped fuel the instability that drives people to flee countries in the top 10 of transparency international's corruption perceptions and next major contributors to the international migrant crisis places like afghanistan syria south sudan and somalia. in venezuela though the crisis has reached. mentions poverty has always been a fact of life here but when oil prices were high then president chavez launched ambitious social programs a washing petrodollars the country also continue to take on debt corruption further drain public coffers while crash of 2014 was the final blow.

thanks it's the most vulnerable who have suffered the most. her. lives with her 7 children in a slum on venezuela's caribbean coast our. poll you. hear also it's a. battle my husband went to peru because of a crisis where you know he went there to send us help here at home. if he hadn't gone there we would have died of hunger. plan we were on one of them we would have starved to death let us not even a lot of them. i just wanted to. see a little last summer when he has no work for

a week he can't send me any money. but as in we have only one meal a day i try to feed the children at 2 in the afternoon but at the end they spend the rest of the day sleeping. pill me and i get nothing they asked me for food. but they understand when i tell them we don't have any money lay there sometimes they cry. it's not easy when your children beg you for food but you have nothing to give them. that it's hard really hard. place. the united nations food and agriculture organization has warned that venezuela may be on the brink of famine and. like many in the country may leckie hard as children

haven't been to school in months they can't afford the bus fare. hard i goes to the supermarket once a week but only when her husband has sent money from peru. she can only get the band of saturdays. others in venezuela can't afford food at all. people with family abroad are the lucky ones it's a better irony the more venezuelans flee abroad the more money flows back home. that's been a boon for president nicolas maduro. his government needs hard cash. all accounts belonging to the state owned oil company gave a son in the united states have been frozen due to sanctions.

without the remittances sent by migrants the state would be unable to import even basic foodstuffs and medicines. that. venezuelans will be leaving in drugs trade hungover collapse of the health care system and soaring child mortality those were. travel documents across the border to colombia illegally the brain drain is an especially better blow for many of those fleeing are doctors lawyers and teachers highly educated people that are badly needed at home.

by june 2019 some 4000000 venezuelans have left the country out of a total population of just 30000000. venezuela was once considered a beacon of prosperity caracas its glittering modern capital. corruption didn't begin with president chavez who died in 20 for a teen but in the 20 years since chavez 1st took office corruption and mismanagement have spiraled out of control. one of the lynchpins of the system was rafael ramirez he served as minister of energy under chavez and at the same time as president of the pdvsa oil company for years his loyalty to chavez allowed the president to dip into the country's petro

dollars at will without parliamentary oversight or accountability. java's had nearly unchecked access to oil revenues. some went to fund far reaching social programs but billions also vanished into private coffers. today at the end of it as both his friends and foes called him has gone into hiding in exile. me you must soon as you said the simple i just met the petroleum exports brought in about 700. $1000000000.00 over the 10 years i was in office ok let went kookie by my calculation $480000000000.00 of that even from taxes we got the rest from the pier davis's petroleum sales bill that is on 700000000000 is it this is. the big question is you number one of the state do with that money so that's the big question going 2nd leading up to the 3rd it's

a question say self but he's has also lost himself he's in neighboring colombia to carry out the research nearly a quarter of venezuelan refugees more than a 1000000 people have ended up in the country. the * the end of. the. the the. the. the. the. the. oh. the venezuelan government sometimes blocks access to the border some young venezuelans have gathered in colombia under one of the border bridges. venezuelan state media has a blackout on stories like this but says up the ts will report on it. i do have the

issue not just their freedom of expression no which i'm told we fight to preserve it every day they're risking that our websites will be blocked no he's shooting in porn and that will be publicly insulters threatened with jail in up before have our passports confiscated at the airport took on the one has any of the law to report. their rage spills over the young people launch an attack against madieu those security forces. they throw rocks and a metal and tear gas and rubber bullets. but it looks like a link at that. particular time i didn't think it would. but

he's goes to meet with one of the duros opponents. these exiles know the system from within and are important sources. one man here used to be a close friend of the child his family with a swell. number system would be the systematic persecution again the very same day i submitted evidence of the child his family's corruption to parliament some we had last night to look familiar to see a job we had evidence that more than 30 forming in states were involved in that corruption your labor but i believe that the parliamentary audit committee. we are human as i was jailed in 2010. out of my family was persecuted. my brother died since 2000 and 9 am on a meal for years it came away with 5 years ago how did he die you he was shot one of these murdered yes murdered how. you. see.

this is. from. being. self self. in my. opinion it's. been 2017 when the us was a was sent to prison for more than a year the opposition lawmaker was only one of countless political prisoners. like about 30 other parliamentarians aswat they had no choice but to flee. this video was taken by prison guards who sent it to us while his family in order to help care for us so it's not all state employees are loyal to my do it all. for you. this would only help this mayor is a criminal state and it has a society of accomplices b.c. and this aside includes many civilian and military accomplices. and they are all

corrupt and they're all in it together immediately. venezuela's political decline began under president to go charge as. his economic policies pave the way to a mole rats of corruption. the country's strict currency exchange system in particular opened the door to massive fraud. business elites politicians and state officials obtain state subsidized dollars through the central bank. these dollars were then sold at a huge profit on the black market water positive directly in foreign bank accounts . the state of ministration remains riddled with corruption. billions in public revenues have gone missing. in the industrial hub of molokai

most factories lie abandoned less than 20 percent of factories in venezuela are still in operation industry has been driven into ruin. under chavez numerous companies were expropriated or nationalized and then were driven into the ground by mismanagement rather than support private industry chavez used petro dollars to import goods from abroad this help redistribute wealth and power away from the old business elite and increase ordinary people's dependency. in the government venezuela is not entirely reliant on the export of petroleum gold and call time almost all necessities have to be imported. and as rough ale i mean as admits the country made another fateful economic era. him a little blissfully looking at my duro install of his military friends and to keep positions in industries that look even to the man who heads the petroleum industry

as a general for his general computer buddies over 20142017 ordered the crushing of the protests that is sort of but it's all it's is if a little bit now he's head of the petroleum industry. and knows nothing about it we see it more duros installed military people in all key industry positions so well you know if they have no idea how to run an oil industry at the go most women having the debate the need. oil production has collapsed due to mismanagement output is now the same as it was in 1945 along with the oil industry the military also controls the black market and gasoline state subsidized gasoline in venezuela is cheap a bottle of water costs more than a 1000 liters of gasoline sold on the black market in colombia it's worth a fortune. to find that i mean it has witnessed this corruption from the inside

and who knows whether on his way down at leeds have stashed that debt he money. to keep on the left in sleep but you'll see the bottom line is today i believe that at least 30 percent of government revenue has been lost to corruption is the new federal mechanisms by which money is siphoned out of our country it's a middle of it on the basis that money flowed into private bank accounts in major industrial nations it's not in zimbabwe it's in private accounts in europe and the united states. he's done. system of state sponsored terror is maintaining my doodles hold on power the collective paramilitary gangs who help quell any signs of popular dissent they have a strict code of silence and the government turns

a blind eye in exchange for their loyalty. commandante chavez called us the collective was a kind of urban guerrillas troop. when chavez came to power the color t.v. shows were street fighters who were supposed to keep the opposition in check. these so-called shock collect t.v. shows armed and deployed in case of civil unrest or the like. to suppress people who oppose the revolution. for. my bhutto support has been dwindling but not among the collectables. they also still to fend for the socialist revolution others proclaimed in 1908.

0 what we're going to do. there's one man in this country who wants to improve things. but no one's listening to him he gives an order and everyone does what they want. how can anyone rebuild the country that way. and make comments like ben said i never imagined i'd have to live in israel or one day say and i had a career that allowed me to support my family leave here we could buy what we needed. even if it wasn't easy. but then it went downhill we had no food we didn't live well now who know maybe i will grant that when marian soria still lived

at home in venezuela she was a member of an elite unit of police called fire which is going to reputation as a government death squad. according to. a u.n. report they've carried out thousands of extrajudicial killings they target criminal gangs as well as ordinary people who've taken part in protests. the un was recruited after she graduated from university she spent 12 months with as before deciding to quit after witnessing an extrajudicial killing. and at the time there was a search underway for all scoppetta by the state. he was an opponent of nicolas maduro and was plotting to overthrow him. as i don't buy that that's why he was

officially designated a terrorist they only know that already. you know sadly. this was a former lead police officer who commandeered a military helicopter and dropped 2 stun grenades over the supreme court in caracas no one was injured perez had hoped to spark a military coup and free the country from corruption but his call for an uprising went nowhere. that everyone was looking for us got headers so much so that we received information that he was somewhere near el cerrito. when we went to his hideout. then we began our raid. saying at 3 in the morning on january 14th 2018 the torso then nato and then the media see. you're all.

ok. as a member of merion saudi i witnessed what happened when paris was tracked down. we're going to go into a no no getting really are going to get out if you know. who 1st said they finally know they're saying oh ok that was the day when i realized i didn't belong there you know why i had a nervous breakdown. and i cried all the time and said that's it for nothing he said why should i be involved in this like this he i didn't go to university to kill people work at then we don't get that or to have my boss come to me and tell me to kill someone and if i don't they'll kill me if everything in any doubt might

that look the same on my thumb in my family i will. i. i. believe in her daughter i left behind with her parents in venezuela was the price she had to pay for survival. the state tara her writers doesn't treat those who turn that back on a kindly. one for they have really stepped us when you leave a state institution where you have information about people you worked with but that's not a risk they want to take that people who quit but especially who quit 5 people

usually leave venezuela fact and otherwise they'll be killed also because they'll just say you were killed during a robbery so they're saying they don't like that all at all at their. joe i mean never mind. i send my mother money every week or 2 it depends sometimes they need something unexpected like medicine and medicine is very expensive also put up on a lot of money but normally what i send them every 2 weeks is enough for food and for daycare. you. need. a lesson that has been living with her grandparents since january 28th like many

other venezuelan children whose parents have fled. other 100 doesn't have a passport and obtaining one is difficult in venezuela at the moment as a result maddie on hasn't yet been able to bring her daughter to germany. meanwhile marion's father and has so he is dealing with his own problems. that i hold. for all the daughters are getting would go for the daughter they call i'm a coconut farmer. by liverpool all coconut producers in this region have to pay protection money. but on the way if we refuse they threaten us and sailors like you are allowed on our farms. don't tell us why we don't go there anymore. it's just abandonment then it's going to be into their own do not of. but that

harvest was how we earned a living those who went to more like what are we supposed to do no they don't have to go but what will happen if we're no longer able to work our land and to harvest our crops they moan diplomacy. criminal gangs are now in charge of his farm they sell his coconuts by the truckload mainly in colombia where they fetch a better price. there's. no more than i didn't know. carlos trapani as a human rights lawyer. but the rule of law has eroded and obtaining a hearing in the venezuelan courts is next to impossible for. the.

defendant all because this is the culture 9 o 5 distribution order to italy and. lies data from 192012 find out how many children and young people were killed by gun violence more than religious and of all the districts we looked at this was one of the most dangerous ones google's. top bunny is on his way to give a workshop as a catholic school he's a determined advocate especially on behalf of children to want to sort of tell what is he enjoyed it was sort of painting music art what is he like it will draw up a plan for him completely does he like to draw seeing sketch work with clay that's the best way you know what are you can only. be done for some of them for someone overcome to. get.

caught. up. in the compound and. i was. thinking. and i. won't. commit to the for. years. to my mum one of us are going to get

more stage. much the same waste so you have a little. good looking only a little closer to my. mickey ollie. not the oklahoma. shrimp you may initially when she she was. about. to function most of all going to finally. be allowed to give up on stand tall most of the dogs. affected your. job since you. didn't like the book dream of toys talk to me give it up if i. feel the same way. so as to cost us a full circle in the. event not a good idea. but

. some. tough stuff. from. both. the coffee. maker coming off with venezuelans up bombarded with propaganda on state radio and t.v. . preserve the hope going up was a bit of a dinosaur to think they're going to talk about other one of those really. good discipline to it. they will be able to have the fun times as. strong as it will if they follow my. i think. i have their liberty that i feel like i'm sorry but i guess lane is free so unreal

so for the currency reevaluation it cost 100 feet. all of us today that would be 0.015 all of us cents this area that's a monetary unit that doesn't even exist so gasoline is basically given away here so i could have paid for that tank of gas with a coating of. it that was. there along the lines of the banks people can only withdraw the equivalent of 50 us cents a week from their accounts. venezuela has the world's highest inflation rate manoora has continued to print money to finance the deficit . even among the top 5 venezuela's runaway hyperinflation is i want to ring.

in any one of the lucky ones can ask for. me is being interviewed at a private radio station there are only a few independent media outlets left in the country pani is careful with his criticism. the sanctions are not to blame for all the problems with the children if i think any of these problems have been around for a long time after 2007 something got much worse child mortality was increasing year by year even before the sanctions and it's i think i mean on the navi a sponsor on. for a long time i'm sure as regime denied there was a crisis after the united states imposed sanctions that changed and now news of the crisis is everywhere. carlos trapani is listening to a speech by the prosecutor general on state television. if anything get the new

british leader i think that the market don't want to. get out of court forever for ya. you know when i get out. of there. ok. but if i mean i don't. know but i thought i did it for. my. carlos refuses to flee he wants to stay with his family and continue to work for change even though that's often a discouraging prospect. look at a real i watch a mature some not only so that i can be a journalist without fear but so that my children can live in

a more peaceful country away and so that my family can live well and in peace get off with this in particular so that friends and family who have left the country come back again with us of course i want change he can always he can. say some but he also is taking his children to school many critical journalists have been forced into exile so far he's been sped it up in the lead up to leave don't you go back to you to. come you know you have a job you know but you above the din but he'll give you the most valuable pieces of some of them to be done but i'm. sure. when i want to come up with which i need a. william a little name a little. bit jealous that i don't need a lot of. this vision of

a pluri polo world has become a reality but not in the way that will go chavez had imagined today venezuela has become the play. a thing of international interests. in february 29000 the united states sent humanitarian aid food delivery to venezuela says up by piece witnessed what happened. the 1st aid trucks were greeted with euphoria but soon the border crossing at the bridge became the scene of a propaganda showdown but due to shock the border trucks full of food and medicine were unable to pass protesters clashed with venezuelan security forces in the end 2 trucks went up in flames none of the aid reached but as well or. am. i. 3 world powers are each pursuing their own names in venezuela the united states russia and china.

yes i do. think. people here. so. if you go to the un it was like syria and ukraine venezuela has a global strategic significance the united states and russia are jockeying for influence without russian intervention my daughter's regime would likely have collapsed. china has maintained its economic and trade ties to venezuela hoping to

gain access to the country's vast natural resources. venezuela has become a bargaining chip in a global game. and a number of countries are hoping to solve the crisis to that advantage. i spoke to reporters when i went to china and. i spoke with president rouhani of iran of president of algeria the gulf states i understand or at least. i attended opec meetings for 12 years that i met minister and i amy and all the oil ministers my. little fracking and. i knew it wasn't just fracking in the united states for the deadly confrontation between the gulf monarchies in the iran down. and between the gulf states or russia. or the fracture of the unity of all big states in the last cd you look at the death that has overtaken libya and syria you know geopolitical terrain has shifted africa and north africa and the mediterranean

and oil is a key factor. yeah. the geo political terrain is shifting and in this new cold war new countries are becoming up battleground for competing interests. idle the citizens of those countries are being left to fend for themselves millions of people will continue to find themselves displaced forced to flee for their survival. i know. there have been a lot of. them not a remember how they need no one here on the bridge when they're going anywhere. near any. you know you don't know what i asked

him to notice and the only point to be. safe with. safeway. right. now. is the council and. this is how it is every day so my maid actually never wants to talk to me. i think avoiding me is her way of telling me she misses me she tells me i'm tired i'm sleeping my grandma has told me to clean my room. my ask or at my did she send you away to clean your room you go let it is now yes bye bye i'm very busy their mail cool 5 she's always looking for an excuse not to talk to me there and when she wants to it's too late over here at

the says a kid with that think 2 worlds that have close economic ties us if europe and asia out of a deal which social justice and what although walking conditions like wilma's agape countries on 2 continents and defined out all europe and asia own work together our
