around the world on screen online international news and comment live from the new center here in moscow this is. venezuela is mourning its late president hugo chavez who has died at the age of fifty eight after losing his battle with cancer now these are the latest pictures from caracas where chavez's body is being moved from a hospital there in the city to a military academy and that's where it will lie in state the funeral is due to take place on friday thousands of these socialist leaders supporters of a mast in the streets calm down his death has ended one of latin america's most remarkable populist rules but it also left the nation politically divided. paul scott spoke to a couple of who's recently returned from the country. often been said that chavis is a very charismatic figure it's. quite clear quite evident on the streets in the campaign

rallies when we were there watching him operate what china's really did for venezuela is drastically revolutionize the way the country is run and operated before shoppers came to power was largely see and close u.s. ally sort of embracing the western economic model of us came from very poor background poor roots and he came to power with his self-styled so-called bola berrien revolution where he wanted to bring socialist ideals to the country and change the country what he meant by that is radically and empowering the poor communities that for decades had been neglected in venezuela making them feel that they mattered in a system that for many years was set up in a way that was against them he was often able to sort of connect with people in a way that other politicians you don't often see for example he would play musical instruments that his different press conferences his you know long nine hour marathon t.v. appearances may have been somewhat boring if i even even at the political rallies

for example the last one that he held before the election we were there was pouring rain he was fighting cancer we knew that he was sick and he got right up there on stage you know walked away from his security detail walked up up front and started dancing with the crowd and you sort of love him or hate him you really sort of saw the human being come through and i think that really helped people feel that they can relate to them especially the for you know you talk to his charisma there and you mention the poor the social programs usual focused on some of the projects that helped his supporters take a look but for people living up in those longs or barrios there used to be no way to get down to the city to find work or go to school simply walking down those hills you think about an hour and a half used to be no public transportation until president bush on this build these cable cars a little lifeline for venezuela's for i was just cable cause was it that led to his popularity of course of course won't be interesting thing as what you saw in that clip we were sort of driving over riding over the bar. and then as well as

a country with a massively large urban population of some twenty million people about seventeen live in cities and until chavez came to power these people didn't have access i mean they weren't physically able to get down for example into the city to get jobs that's why the cable cars were important they didn't have any social services like health care for example so chavez helped build these free health care clinics that gave them for the first time access to services that most people in in developed countries are used to he helped create education programs he also got into these sort of micro financing programs for example if you and your friends wanted to start a sewing commune of sorts in the bank would give you money at interest rates that were much lower than. and you were able to create businesses that way and so it really it empowered the community but it also led to criticism that he was sort of using petro dollars to win over support with the poor which we talk about how popular he is you know the last election the one you were in in october the one you were there for was one of the most divisive it was an even though he won that

election with pretty much the same percentage that he did in his very first the first time he ran for office fourteen years prior to that there were cracks that were emerging because although he won massive support with the social progress programs among the poor there work there was criticism that he wasn't to certainly building the kinds of institutions that would help venezuela develop economically sure they had a lot of oil dollar wealth that doesn't mean that they were necessarily building the kinds of programs that would sustain economic development and there were also other problems that had pushed supporters away even from the barrios for example the crime rate as well as a country has about twenty million people something like that twenty thousand murders in two thousand and twelve just to contrast that with the united states three hundred fifteen million people twelve thousand murders that same year so the crime rate was incredibly incredibly big issue and so was i mean isn't the corruption those were also problems in the country that childlessness trying to battle but you know at the end of the day regardless of how divisive he was he's certainly permanently changed the picture of venezuela and also in the region

because he has policies you know he didn't just work in venezuela if you try to export those policies to his allies in the region and sort of try to create radical change in that sense i love him or hate i'm certainly going to be remembered. as champion economic reform from the oil wealth that is where it is one of the world's biggest oil producers and nations depending all new supplies are keenly awaiting what happens next not least the u.s. or he explains. venezuela is a major player in the world oil trade its deposits are estimated at around two hundred ninety seven billion barrels as you can see just there that's comparable to those of saudi arabia the world's biggest or producer another country is currently the fifth largest oil exporter amounting to ninety five percent of the country's exports but actual production is far behind us to two decades of

investment and since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight or output has fallen twenty five percent our production our price well i can tell you that right now as far as the oil markets are concerned the price has been relatively muted and that's because assad as it sounds chavez's death was already priced in we are expecting a spike to pending on who will take power unless and a month's time and where their loyalties lie venezuela is one of the largest buyers of russian military hardware and trade between the two is only up russian firms have a strong presence in venice waiter's energy sector rosset is there are local has worked in the country for almost a decade now on the gas side gas problem has been there since two thousand and eight now contracts with venezuela are all based on deals made with chavez and his government and as we know ross nafs the head igor sechin he'll actually be

attending the funeral which have a says funeral and he'll probably be making sure that those deals stay intact. while knowledge talk to an expert on latin america because cause love joins me live now from new york because chavez with his charisma he really took a strong lead with those countries opposed to the u.s. and not just in latin america no he's gone how will that affect american sentiment now. well i think that there's some question about that i mean i think this album clark there's an open question mark about the future of this political alliance that child has managed to cobble together including ecuador amongst others nicaragua bolivia and i think perhaps rafael correia of ecuador might might inherit the employees the same many of the same

economically nationalist policies he's a populist just like chop is he's kind of approach today of that of the late venezuelan leader and so but but on the other hand ecuador is a smaller country than that it's well it has some oil but i'm not sure whether rafael correa can fit child is larger than life profile and what happens inside venezuela itself what sort of foreign influence will we see now shaping the post chavez in iran a big interest of course from the u.s. now. well i think so i would hope that the obama administration takes a more circumspect attitude than it previously and maybe a little less confrontational i think you know to be fair obama has been has ratcheted down the rhetoric from the bush administration which probably played

a role in the two thousand and two coup against which briefly on seated charges from from power at least aided the opposition with financial resources my concern though is that despite this retching down of the rhetoric obama has actually pursued a lot of military bases in white or south america in colombia and it's not actually been reported on what done some writing about this in argentina where they had to actually scrap plans but also in chile and so you look at the map and there's kind of been circling around these. leftist populist regimes so yeah you know it's true that there's going to ratchet down the rhetoric but you have to actually look at what obama does all right so he's like ok so we're talking about obama and washington's perception of how they view him as they were but what about when but what itself the success that what we see a lot of anti u.s. views from it's going to be madeira shortly isn't at the moment he's going to take

. well i think my durham as had one time with cuba and so you might expect that he represents a more doctrinaire wing of the child his movement needs his foreign policy you know i've had some differences within the duros foreign policy he established links with assad in syria and you know under. the durable cultivated links with the likes of khadafi and i think that's actually going in the wrong direction i think my staff could have links with the likes of occupy wall street establishing credibility. i mean and it looks as if we're just we're conventional foreign policy that it's kind of a throwback sorry nicholas you just froze there for a second with the connection but we've got you back again i do want to ask you know what impact now does this have on chavez's allies within latin america of course many of those countries dependent on economic aid and of course cheap fuel supplies

there's a lot at stake now for these countries that. yeah well particularly cuba i think the castro brothers are probably at this hour a little bit unnerved by the situation let's not forget that as well a. cheap discounted oil shipments to cuba so. yeah there's this could unsettle the regional situation to a great degree also cuba has exported its medical medical teams to. doctors to attend to poor venezuelans in venezuela and cities in the countryside so if an opposition candidate comes to power in venezuela sick or pre-literate don't ski there or is there some open question as to whether they might pursue these links with the likes of cuba nicholas thanks very much your time nicholas kozlov joining us live in new york thank you. well we're interested in your view on

a wait what awaits the future of venezuela now that chavez has gone and we're looking at all online poll of the moment teet dot com let us know what you think will happen now that we've had the confirmation of chavis is death well we can see on screen now that opinion is pretty divided almost half believe the country will carry on as before led by the vice president around a third we can see that say that the country might fall to the opposition which is backed by the us a little less fear that the country will descend into chaos jus to an imminent power struggle and finally less than ten percent that's eight percent so far think that is when it will become more moderate and a new leadership go to dot com and have you all say it's all web site online all the time well he interviewed hugo chavez before he was diagnosed with cancer and here are some of the highlights of that interview in which as usual he was never afraid to pull any punches. bush in his era his village or an

aggressive imperialist policy greatly harm the world i said there was a smell of sulfur and i meant bush had been there maybe he was accompanied by the devil and it was him he left behind the smell of selfishness when i first came to latin american summits i was an old bird and comparison to other participants at the end of one summit video gave me a piece of paper he had written chavez now i feel that i am not the only devil at the summit i would have won the election if i had been an american of course it would have ended with my murder as happened with martin luther king and many other leaders. clashes are again raging in egypt the rest of the city of port saeed while president morsi is considering giving the military full control that at least six people have been killed and hundreds wounded in the latest wave of street battles

between security forces and young egyptians are these kind of correspond to bell true brings us more. president mohamed morsi met with top security officials on cheese day reportedly to discuss pulling the police out of the restive city of science and instead putting the military in place this is because of the four days of clashes between police and government protesters in this restive city including protesters torching the national security agency building with additional fires in the governor headquarters and the security directorate this comes of course i had a very contentious verdict on saturday for this. massacre that took place last year in february and it started when thirty nine defendants were moved in the prison the families of those defendants in this case were very upset with this and so the crisis began between the police and protesters seeing hundreds injured and at least five kills meanwhile we have violence here in the capital as well just off three

square by the nile has been intermittent street battles between anti-government protesters and police although the opposition is not scared he said there are definitely similar grievances being expressed across the country that there's been no change since the revolution in an eleven a feeling that president obama is making very unpopular decisions such as backing this four point eight billion going to i.m.f. loan which will see subsidies cuts on tax hikes in addition people are saying that the can the constitution was drafted by islamist dominated constituent assembly so people really have a feeling that nothing has changed there are many problems in the country which means there is very likely this is the violence is likely to continue in the next few weeks. coming up later in the program don't sing on the edge about the start of the t.v. most among the shocking acid attack on the bolshoi theater chief which left him almost blind and badly found speechless google the details on that.

flop israeli troops are increasingly making life. palestinian protest is the result . the practice is only being used in emergencies that after the break. she. was able to build a new. mission

to teach me the creation and why it should. this is why you should. only. speak your language. programs in documentaries in arabic in school here. reporting from the world talks about six of the interviewers intriguing stories are you. trying. to find out more visit. he's continued have been on the stage. to a whole lot of trouble one of the bolshoi top subtlest who recently played ivan the terrible has admitted he was behind a shocking acid attack on the company's. is so left the victim.

reports. one of the world's most famous theaters the bolshoi is still recovering from a huge scandal when its artistic director was throwing a ball of acid into his face but it also seems to be losing one of its leading don says vital dmitrichenko admitted that he must to mind it this acid attack on the artistic director of the bolshoi sergei filin because he disliked his boss certainly this is enough for him to be prosecuted to be punished but the unconfirmed reports suggest that he carried out this attack you masterminded this attack because feeling as the artistic director of the bolshoi did not allow his wife to perform a leading role in one of the one of the place supposedly the famous swarm lake now the other two men the one who carried out this attack and the driver who brought the executioner to the place also admitted to carrying out this attack we all saw in the black swan hollywood movie how tough life can be behind the scenes

of the big ballet this certainly was fiction but this is no different to reality the bolshoi has been surrounded by lots of control over seas from addresses being cut ahead of the blaze ahead of the big stage to gloss being put in the dancing shoes of the performers in one of the scandals one of the administrators even had to resign because of pornographic pictures were made public on the internet definitely. has been surrounded by control received but it's never made criminal headlines this was the first case like that feeling partially regain his eyesight we understand that he's now under treatment in germany and probably he will be returning to work in six or seven months time as has been predicted by doctors now . britain has been left alone a voice in the e.u. by defending bankers' bonuses as the rest of the bloc aims to rein them in the measures are popular with the sturdy europeans many of whom say it is the bankers

who triggered the financial rollercoaster in the first place are these poorly boyko explains just why britain is so adamant. it's that time of year again bonus season is in full swing the chief executive of h.s.b.c. is set to pocket a two million pound bonus this month by the way that u.k. bank is get paid could be about to change that's if the european union has anything to do with it at the moment the average bank 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 swishes some

banks. people. some profits some tax revenues. would be written on to that extent written before voices inside the city say that 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 sectors 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. in one year. and with the european economies still flatlining voters want to see those bonuses

down there are fears that the measure could end up putting london at a disadvantage to the text. coming from because 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 in other areas has cost the k. many of its manufacturing hubs also new economies coming on board and that has obviously had an effect bankers might not be the most popular is an austerity stricken britain right now but the fact is that the financial services industry is vital it's i think you hate me and if you think what famous including charge said george osborne say that they are concerned that it can happen as thinking that it's

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 down with a final vote penciled in from a bonus season next year could end up being an altogether more subdued affair. see london israeli troops are increasingly resorting to live gunfire against protesters in the west bank that's according to palestinian reports officials in tel aviv deny the misuse of crowd control weapons but former israeli defense force soldiers and human rights groups say the practice is being brushed under the carpet . nariman captured on camera the shots that would kill her brother two bullets in his stomach and leg. so when i came people were shouting he got shot with a live bullet i didn't know who got shot they were shouting rushed. i didn't know what to do i went down the hill where the soldiers were firing and i started

shouting press press the soldiers shouted to not come down will shoot you i open my camera and i decided that i'm going there even if i die or love. to smash for now remains brother rushdie hadn't even been part of the stone throwing eyewitnesses say the soldiers fired tear gas and live bullets even before the children started throwing rocks at them rushdie wasn't part of it he went later to help evacuate the injured but of the images i wanted to throw the camera down and hold my brother in my arms but i kept filming my brother's face was covered in blood my uncle came and the soldier said do not worry it's his leg he's alive from my experience if they wanted to help they would have called the ambulance from the closest settlement when they wanted him to leave i told them we should give him first state and they said it is not our problem he could die of the woman and two days later rushdie

died the bullet to killed him was fired from ten meters away he was unarmed if you follow the official rules yeah it will be almost impossible to soldiers to use ammunition in these situations but we've all been there we've all done that when soldiers face palestinians on the field the the orders and missions we are getting are very far away from what the army claims officially the also soldiers can only use live ammunition when their life is in clear danger tear gas and rubber bullets are loaned but only for dispersing crowds from a distance and we're not fired directly on the protesters but these really center for human rights has found that in total is really for. forces have killed fifty six rock throwing palestinians since two thousand and five six were killed by rubber coated missile bullets and to gas canisters forty eight were killed by live ammunition power of the variations show a wide and systemic culture of the misuse of crowd control weapons by the israeli

security forces in the west bank this means that the only violates it's open fire regulations regarding the use of rubber bullets tear gas it's quite of a well known practice and the army denies that it exists but you know russian reply requests for an interview the i.d.f. say that debate still of a port presents a biased narrative relying primarily on incidents that are too old or still under investigation by the military police the i.d.f. went on to say that the i.d.f. does everything in its power to ensure that the use of white dispersal means is done in accordance with the rules of engagement we're talking about five six hundred to one thousand tear gas canisters a day are being shot at these protesters says it's way beyond our imagination it would be about clouds of tear gas on a village below palestinian and go and defiance an act of despair in the face of israeli military might rushdie's nice thirteen year old i had to meet faces the

soldiers after they whisked her brother imprisoned her father and killed her cousin three months after this confrontation with her beloved uncle rushdie with dying police we are our team to have a full well that brings up to date for the moment i'll be back with a news team and more free in just over half an hour from now in the meantime stay with us for cross talk that is coming up next after this break. wealthy british style. expert on. market.
