a child with the main need because in venezuela, until recently, nicole reese was latin america correspondent. i asked her about the venezuelan government seeking gonzales's arrest while allowing him free passage out of the country. it, of course, looks very contradictory if you look at it at 1st glance, because venice or last oil is also the country that has security forces surround p r. continuing and the sea, for example, because political opponents of the material complement with sheltering there. and at the other hand, so it was also the attorney general of, of an issue. a lot of static women saw people said that they let going thomas leave in accordance with his rights to assign them. now if you look at it from the other perspective, if you could also interpreted as the letting go, so that would be next political troubles for president. my brutal for case because

in the end of the, of the person, the opponent, his department is not in the country anymore. and so his government now can make sure of the narrative. of course, we will see how this will unravel in these next days or weeks, but as we just turned in the report as well, that mixed feelings about gonzales leaving among the population. some might be disappointed. others might just see of course, this as a matter of safety, he had to leave. so it will be very interesting to look at this in the future as well. and to go what spain's position in all of this a? well, the spanish for an minister cost him, i know a lot of that is a said that from the very beginning on they were offering gonzales asylum, which he now is taking advantage of, of course. and he said that this is the 1st and foremost about this safety, but also about protecting democracy and political freedom and the rights to opinion . nevertheless, the spain will not recognize gonzales as the elliptic them, as we know all these past elections that very cautious about that. if this is

something that the venezuelan got an opposition has been demanding time and again, and then line with other countries as well. they're rather asking for the spell of papers that everybody wants to see that everybody wants to analyze to make sure that this transparency on the matter, but it proves to be difficult to get access, of course. and then that's still the government's in western countries that are hoping for a political solution, maybe even a transition that could be negotiated, but also less than the american countries, such as for example, for zillow of which is just neighboring with venezuela and gonzalez, fans to continue to fight for democracy and venezuela, how will he be able to do that from spain? this indeed will prove difficulties now far away from the action. really position meta maria, cutting out and my title is left and says they will continue the fight. but both now 1st and foremost, need to make sure that the opposition will be united and will stays united. i think

this could prove to be a problem because compile us has next. and this for some critics. it also comes from some opposition. members, obviously it doesn't look good, especially if they want to continue the fight. and it's also very questionable how they would actually swear in somebody from that far away. so we need to still continue to few ice and this story because i'm sure that there will be other developments in the future in the causal g, following it closely. thank you very much. nicole race to bring us up to date. some of the other stories making use at this hour, at least 24 people have been killed at almost 300 injured in northern vietnam over the weekend from land slides and floods treated by types of jockey. the death told was expected to rise after a bus was swept away and a bridge with several vehicles on a collapse. it's the most powerful storm to hit the region in years having to reinstate media. as like at least 14 people have been killed in open ideas by the
