a number of health complications after returning from his latest round of treatment in cuba seven days of mourning have started in a country where millions are grieving words of condolence of come in from all around the world including traditionally friendly latin american states as well as russia and the u.s. but among the sadness also anger venezuela's vice president nicolas maduro who broke the news and assume the interim leadership accuse the country's quote historical enemies of having a hand in his death chavez held a hard line anti-u.s. stance during his fourteen years in power his latest reelection coming last october or he's marina portnoy has the latest from new york. president chavez died around sixteen twenty five that's four forty five pm caracas time at a military hospital and now that as well in vice president nicolas maduro kompany by senior ministers announced that president chavez had passed describing the news as a moment of deep pain that the country's national armed forces also pledged their unconditional

allegiance to vice president maduro chavez before he passed many weeks ago said that when the time would come he would like for majority to be his his successor and the vote for the new president should be held within the next thirty days and will likely hit vice president with doro against the prius the opposition leader and state governor who lost a shot us in the october election one recent opinion poll gave the door a strong lead enjoying much support among many of the working class to previous in the meantime flew over to the united states over the weekend visiting miami new york author and journalist evil interest says it's no coincidence that during a time of instability in venezuela the opposition leader from that country is attending meetings in the united states this is been also typical over the past few years over the past decade really members of the opposition venezuela frequently come into the united states to meet with their either financiers because they get

multimillion dollar funding from the u.s. government and its different agencies or from its allies their allies here in the united states primarily members. former administration the bush administration but also the actual administration and it clearly. is coming to the united states to miami to new york to meet with these individuals to discuss the future of venezuela if you want to put it that way chavez was one of the world's best known socialist leaders and a staunch critic of the united states chavez never held back. on criticizing what he called the imperialistic motives of the west he ruled his country a country with the world's largest oil reserves for fourteen years he was a powerful player in the world of geopolitics i can tell you when he was visiting new york city for the annual united nations general assembly devika debate everybody anticipated that his speech the international body would be one that made

headlines because he never held back he never minces words he always took on a challenge and he clearly was not intimidated to take on the united states and its western allies of course that as well in the united states didn't have good diplomatic relations there's been comments coming from washington with officials expressing that maybe in the future now the u.s. and this well might have better diplomatic relations but google chavez whether you love him or hate him he leaves norma's big shoes to fill but an investigative journalist for the asia times covering live in america thinks the demonization of chavez in the u.s. may continue after his death. in fact obama's message was a bit ridiculous you know he said that we're going to stand united with different as well and people what kind of people does he mean does he mean that the people

who elected and reelected chavez in that search scene out of fourteen democratic elections or does he mean these people go to new york and miami to trade martinis endemol nice job isn't a job used as as evil dangerous communist this is ridiculous the most important thing in my opinion chavez in terms of a political leader he was always referring to an international revolutionary tradition from outside tuned to chat with he was like a nailed fix of geopolitics of more there geopolitics bigger than now is in fact because of the war almost all directions that would disappear and the saying is why this is the morning edition all shot is the even boston or indeed who grow these especially in the u.s. first of all venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world so the united states and european union they can say old you need this wall forcing all you need just love to those ghastly petrol monarchies in the persian gulf but even as well

as the leader of an israel a decided to use the oil wells the benefit of the lower classes a bit as well this is something unheard of in the persian gulf main question now becomes who will be venezuela's new leader some analysts suggest it will be hard for u.s. backed opposition to overturn chavez's policies. despite his lack of charisma in comparison to chad asthma duro is in many ways a very very popular figure in venezuela and one who would naturally win election in the new presidential elections were it not for meddling from the united states i do think that there are coming they're coming generation of leaders inspired by and brought up in the system the hope is that the progress that was made under the chavez government has now been institutionalized that it was not simply held together by the power of the character of charges but rather that it is now forming

the bedrock of venezuela and that venezuelan politics and institutions will be for ever shaped by chavez rather than simply held together by him and we heard from adrian an argentinean political commentator who thinks the real challenge to those who want there will be a real challenge for those who want chavez's legacy to live on. my little will be obvious to fish a list candidate and he stands aside certainly stands a very good chance of reelection especially with the country's emotional state right now but chavez had huge enemies within been as it was a lot more important outside of an israel so unfortunately united states in the first instance and other countries such as israel and other countries in the west and western europe will do all they can to support the opposition candidate a guy by the name of a complete list of them speak and we could copy was rather he came in second in the presidential elections and who would definitely have all the financial political

and media support global power structures against mr mugg little less than chavez candidate. chavez was well known for bombastic speeches and harsh and to u.s. rhetoric but what exactly led to his rise and how did his politics change the face of venezuela lucy caffein off takes a look. you are a military man known to many as el commandante fit the bill but it appears it's a good one is going to work very well a politician devoted to promoting venezuela's role as a key player on the world stage. often a singer sometimes a dancer occasionally a joker one some people think i'm unable to speak in public for less than five hours of that were held back no punches from a suppose it was just the day the devil came out here. right here there used to be little and it smells of sulfur still today those may

have had many faces but it is certain that he was one of the most outspoken and influential leaders of the twenty first century. the world first met him as a young paratrooper with a tank his one thousand nine hundred two coup attempt was doomed to fail but his dream of a radical leftist revolution was not by their last moment but despite a brief prison stint for his actions chavez went on to run for president of venezuela in one thousand nine hundred eight winning the vote in assuming office in one thousand nine hundred nine under him venezuela went from being a major u.s. ally governed by and for the ruling class to a test case for the childless experiment with twenty first century socialism that meant nationalizing key sectors of the oil rich nations economy and pouring billions into welfare and social programs to help the previously marginalized poor opponents fought to remove chavez from power including a two thousand and two coup attempt and a two thousand and four recall referendum was but he remained winning another term

in office and the twenty trouble election after facing the toughest electoral battle of his career in his foreign policy spearheaded the creation of today's anti-imperialist the left leaning bloc in latin america working to promote his vision of a multi-polar world it's a follow but it wasn't all smooth sailing when it came to his dealings. in the west chavez was known to donate free heating oil to poor americans but had little love for their government relations have ranged from tense to outright hostility. then he still is independent and free and will never be in north american. but in twenty eleven childless took up a new battle to fight for his life against cancer just before the new year and after four operations in cuba chavez named his vice president as the preferred political heir the final war waged by el commandante revered by some reviled by others it is undeniable that chavez and his bolivarian revolution left a permanent mark on this country this region and the world. r.t.

a salary is just under seventy thousand pounds a year but bonuses for top bankers can be many times more than their baseline depending on personal performance the success of the bank and the market as a whole last year the bonus pools of leading city banks went up to as much as two point four billion pounds of b c but if the e.u. proposal goes ahead next year banks would be blocked from paying out bonuses larger than double an employee's basic salary much against downing street wishes some banks some teams of people some revenues some profits some tax revenues. would be britain and to that extent britain would be poorer voices inside the city say the big banks in the u.k. might be forced to pay higher base salaries in order to keep the most talented executives there are very few searchers in which united kingdom is

a world leading financial services is one of the high basics impose a constant overhead which can be adjusted easily from year to year whereas the bonuses can be part of the success of the market has been that element of flexibility you can award a larger bonus in one year and a much lower bonus in another year and with the european economy still flatlining voters want to see those bonuses brought down but there are fears that the measure could end up putting london at a disadvantage the tax take coming from banker. not just in the bonuses but in general is huge estimated to be over and above forty billion pounds a year so the point here is that effectively this is taking away people from the economy this could be forcing people to go elsewhere and the

trickle down effect of that will be dramatic overregulation and all there is has cost the u.k. many of its manufacturing hubs also new economies coming on board and that has obviously had an effect frank is might not be the most popular characters in all staring at a second rating right now but the fact is that the financial services industry is myself so i think you pay a lot to me and a few of those that have one thing that is including charles said george osborne say that that concern that it can happen as thinking affects not just on the city of london but on the british economy as a whole the rest of europe however is determined to push compensation in the financial sector said down with a final vote penciled in from a bonus season next year could end up being an altogether more subdued affair. see london. online energy hungry japan's opponent plans back on stream tokyo planning to relaunch sixty of their stations by year's end dropping it is supposed
