and peace came the next day after the election and it it has kept this way very smoothly very quiet and that's what's going to happen after the presidential elections as well boris johnson and the european union says that your president and your government violates human rights what have you been saying at the u.n. human rights council this week about the sanctions against your country by the european union these sanctions against venezuela violate not only international law but our human rights today it's difficult for us to get to our oil paid back you know we deliver ships with oil and then the companies either in the us or in other parts of the world cannot pay back the money and we have more than one thousand million dollars in europe in europe clear which are blocked and banks are blocking and we have to buy in to import magazines and food and raw material for our people and it doesn't it's difficult today because of these sanctions do you discuss

sanctions with your russian counterpart sergey lavrov in geneva this week yes i must say that the russian government president putin and all the government have been very helpful with us we are trying to build different routes different paths to avoid to bypass the sanctions with russia with china with thirty and with other allies in the world they are worried about the venezuelan people you know that. the secretary of state of the u.s. tillerson he said he was happy because in north korea enough korea there were people dying because of the sanctions those are the figures they look for to say that their politics their policies are well directed this is not going to happen in venezuela because we are taking decisions we have allies in the world and we're going to protect our people from the sanctions and from any other attack from the u.s. . you've seen how us backed agencies have brought down

a government in brazil in latin america moscow and beijing did very little to help stop the rise of a cia asset michel tema a former cia asset becoming president why do you think that beijing in moscow is going to help you because we have built a very close relationship with beijing and with and with must go and we are more than. you know associates we are friends we are brothers this was billed by come on down to chavez and it has been also protected by press in my dude so i believe that russia and china we would do much more for venezuela and then anyone can imagine in the world why do you think no one here in britain certainly from the government believes u.n. expert alfred desire claims there is presently no humanitarian crisis in venezuela

because what they want the world to believe is that there is a humanitarian crisis when the when there are many terror reasons you know that armies from other countries can intervene this regarding the principles of international law that's the objective it's the old trick but of course you can you can come to venezuela and you can just look around and you can see that there is no such thing as a humanitarian crisis of course we have trouble with some pro the with the some made the scenes but we it's been solved we have a better idea this year than last year and twenty seventeen was better than twenty sixteen and with democratic decisions and with our allies we're going to solve everything that's for sure what did you tell british ambassador andrew super and other e.u. ambassadors i understand understood by the british man in caracas i was once based in washington and in brazil. we had

a dinner with all the european ambassador. of the e.u. and they had a lot of questions for do it was likely for i was being questioned by a. the inquisition and tribunals and i had to defend the truth in venezuela i had to defend my people i had to tell them that they were not in the right path but i must say that the british ambassador had a good attitude he understood what i was saying and i told him that we have to improve our relationships we have relations very good ones since the venezuelan independence where the english army helped to liberate their people so we have to get back to the path of cooperation of mutual respect and avoid these attacks and the respect for the venezuelan suffering to i believe that the european union is going to rethink their view about venezuela and specially the united kingdom but

must do so because we have always been friends and that's the way it has to be is it your understanding that some of these powers are now backing and refiled call on . to the roof of the democratic unity opposition seems to have decided to run against the dura at the elections presumably in may i am not sure what's going to happen in the opposition at hand if i go in as one of the opposition leaders he has by himself he has a good party he has a lot of. people who support him and i believe that the other part of the opposition if he's the only candidate from the from the mood i must say that twenty four other candidates have resisted and only one is from the government which is pressing the widow so i believe that most of the part of the opposition will support and reflect on and people will vote for him and the venezuelan people will decide their future freely and without any kind of interference from the.

international community and the international community has to help venezuela to help the dialogue in venezuela and they can come on accompany us the days of the elections we have invited the secretary general of the un we have invited the people of caricom of the african union and other international observers that will be with us during the week of the elections just finally i know donald trump is now threatening insurance types of sanctions against oil shipments he has of course threatened military action against venezuela i understand seven hundred thirty five million dollars in one day was the applications for the oil based venezuelan cryptocurrency how do you think they're going to try and sabotage your oil based cryptocurrency the petro they have already said that the people who views who use the pads or are also violating these. these sanctions against venezuela but you know that crypto currency is

a different world they don't go through the traditional banking system financial system so it's going to be really difficult for them petro has had a very good answer not only in venezuela and latin america but also in the us in europe in russia so it's going to be a very useful tool for us to help our economy to comply with our compromises abroad and do we need to have the payment capacity again and again granted in spite of the sanctions and all of the attacks from the u.s. foreign minister thank you thank you very much estrie my pleasure after the break.

this is the. russian. yet to be explained to the public but this is the british and american governments from playing the role of judge jury and executioner. was. was

was. was was was was. was. was. welcome back in the past twenty four hours u.k. minority government needed to resume has tried to remain britain's leader instead of jacob rhys mall the bookies tory favorite let alone jeremy corbin the overall favorite comes after a week in which the very identity of the u.k. has come under threat after defacto e.u. threats to tear apart northern ireland from scotland england and wales joining me now is welsh nationalist m.p. hugh williams who is on britain's exiting the european union select committee he'll

welcome to going underground so aside from the term old us speeches this week theresa may in the past twenty four hours bonnie on wednesday take us back to how your committee's meeting was with michelle bonny the who's chief negotiator of the brakes when he was quite. interestingly when we've met him before he's spoken in english most of time but he starts that was for the twenty minutes telling is often french about the u.k. position and clearly you know the the building up to a very hard position as has become a pattern so the last few days you know it's interesting for me as a me a back bencher from wales to be the fight of a sense out of his hole and incident people like. the other day was a form of trade commissioner. who was the chief negotiator that's kellam he the trade negotiator formerly doan's hero yeah we had it would in the wake of what he had to say to some. he said the other day when swapping a three course meal for the promise of a packet of crisps but he told us various other things. not just grist for jelly

well anderson i just tell you we only don't let's you know the armless one is good because he said you know trying to negotiate this is like trying to take an egg out of a normal it's the jelly one was amazing somebody asked. will the deals that we make after we leave but they make up for the trade that we lose with the european union and with a very spiritual. but with a very straight face he said well you know there's not a huge demand for jelly in the european union we produce more than jelly one of the but he said you know if you can find the top jelly exporting could see they might swap the markets with you for the for the fifty million that they have in the wood up but you know i mean he's pulling our leg fairly severely with a very silly break this year's inaugural like the u.k. years later they're going to keep emphasizing the crucial percentages in proportion of trade between britain and the court to that but ireland is no the critical key issue here rules are certainly mean the hard border pascal lamy told you about ireland where he say you can't have a border without

a ball the arrangements on both sides because the black city is now is saying well we'll just open the border entirely. let anything in and it's their problem they have to come to us that source of arguments. are all british business could just relocate to bell first i mean i'm welsh business and scottish business is a fantasy you only see which direction we entertain based on the there will be no border that's what the government's position is all british business can really look at to the north of the island of ireland and we'll be in europe i asked him about thoughts and said you know where do you reckon the border will be even if we don't have one in the north of ireland isn't a case of them have to be in the middle of the sea between. brits and the irish exactly because you have to have a border somewhere he seemed to think that way but the brits as he is of course don't and i've got to ask you as applied m.p. . though how and why does your party and i've got to ask you with the two had to wear one of them by out of the all party parliamentary group in catalonia how and

why you want to be part of a european union which you still do and i know the world's population according to the poll did want to be part of european union the jail's politicians i'm tired of the opacic us alone you could have owned up so that immediately and i was over there for the referendum i actually did see a police station the police arriving including people in the ground for daring to votes now the question below is here with me in that i was a red line for britain why would we want britain want to be a part of our leading institution are we to deceive or everywhere indoors maybe even they're arguing against them or you don't side them letting them get on with it's you know it's the local and the international brothers you know britain as the fortress britain because i'm sure. there's that from the bennett wing of labor would always say it was internationalist to be outside the european union anyway but any news about anna gabriel of the spanish politician having to flee to norn european union switzerland you know because arrest warrant has been put out for the

leader of the catalans living in brussels because he dare not move back or he'll be put in jail britain after breaks it could be a haven of freedom away from the european union which shows he was to be allowing the jailing of its politicians that might be the case i mean what's the european union would probably say is that national policy is the national action is a matter for individual member states the united nations has been criticizing leave for human rights over its treatment of refugees coming of libya libya of course destroyed by an alliance including many european union nations and also you know the bus been happening in ugly with a big fence there to keep people out and paul and white want to be part of an institute i can see the financial now incentives as you would have it as opposed to what jacob riis more might say sure. time for britain to leave well without going into huge detail but initially it was a common market it was a matter of selling potatoes to each other for better profits i suppose of that

sort of thing and then they would be in the union has developed into a body which protects environmental standards working standards you know working time directive as i think of wars there was a war in yugoslavia in the engine and you know sure that they wanted members of the time of course but still it's a war in europe that again as well the european union was in this is. i'm pro european and to a great extent i'm pro you was well they're not entirely and finally is your committee even going to last until twenty nineteen. pence if the government lasts long you know that i mean the betting at the moment is that you know we last still in this parliament still twenty twenty two or possibly the next mayor you williams thank you thank you.
