8:30 am
they're jealous and i can see why because they've been incredibly successful talented tejpal competent american woman i mean i think it's acceptable because first of all and anybody in the trumpet ministration is a public persona so i think once you once you have that sort of platform and you are a public persona and you actually are also a government official anything anything goes i mean you know anybody can. say whatever they want to about chew and i think art is a really good way. to stimulate ideas so i think everybody sort of fair game in this here is a situation where you know to me that piece looks like. she's like this one nine hundred fifty s. housewife with no voice no will i think has done a masterful job of complimenting her father's very pro woman administration again lending women opportunities they've never had in the history of the world not just
8:31 am
the history of america but in the history of the world more women today are successful more women today are employed more women today own companies under the trumpet ministration because of the regulations. that's the news that this i'll be back around thirty minutes time with but make sure you stay tuned for an exclusive interview with the venezuelan president nicolas maduro which is up next here on out international. countries gone into a nihilistic theme. and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america the showed the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we've come a point much on what is done so we always are on the bridge of something. called

8:35 am
it's a clear violation of international law in particular the right to coexistence i think it is a diplomatic political and ethical mistake that puts european governments in a bad light that they recognize something that does not exist there is only one government in venezuela and one that was elected through a direct vote as set forth in the constitution one that swore an oath of allegiance to the constitution and one that executes its functions and performs its duties i am head of government i am its servant whatever happens elsewhere is a coup a joke a. it's a disgrace for some european governments to toe the reckless and extremist line imposed by washington it's all been designed at the white house washington has used diplomatic pressure to force its puppets in latin america and dishonorable governments in europe to pursue a coliseum that is doomed to fail was a policy that violates international law but which countries are you referring to
8:36 am
we're going to look i mean the members of the so-called lima group they will bow to the us and stand in the way of integration of latin american and caribbean nations it's an attempt the first one in our history with to impose their own rules on us to run our country from abroad and to inflict damage on our nation as for europe their actions are simply outrageous you have condemned bedrest sanchez up a little sanity that i can't but condemn pedro sanchez because he is making the same grave mistake as jose maria aznar who agreed to support george bush's invasion of iraq and forever tainted his reputation with blood he went down in history as an accomplice of the bloody war in iraq as a practicing christian i pray to god that our nation does not have to put up an armed resistance to u.s. troops if that indeed happens pedro senshi has will have blood on his hands for ever just anything in the are you concerned about your own legacy what do you think
8:37 am
people will remember you for what it all made up of so victoria i do not care about my legacy but there's one thing i know for sure i will not be remembered as a traitor as a weak man who were negative on his historical commitments and betrayed his nation i do not know what happens next it is vital for me to perform my duties here and now to defend my homeland to act against a military aggression and the threat of aggression against venezuela by donald trump and to maintain peace in this country must know that as soon as one of the mountains what if there had been no ultimatums or pressure we call in early presidential election of the. your own will. you are only going to listen to the only upcoming election in venezuela is the parliamentary election that is scheduled to take place according to the constitution in two thousand and twenty i propose the national assembly make arrangements for an early vote and the issue is now being considered but no presidential election we just had a presidential election less than a year ago they were held in full accordance with the constitution they were
8:38 am
transparent and there were international observers watching the vote the problem of the opposition is not that we need another election elections are not rare in venezuela over the last twenty years we've held twenty five election was in the last eighteen months we had six elections so there's no lack of elections in venezuela the twenty eighteen election was held early because the opposition called for it throughout twenty seventeen they were calling for an end in december twenty seventeen we told them we would do it with this situation is different now you're facing a possible war since trump is not ruling out military action and neither are you you announced the creation of fifty thousand strong popular defense units the situation is extremely tense are you afraid there will be war in a sort of way to get on the interest i mean there will be no war or military intervention in venezuela but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't get ready to fight for our land we need to prepare our weapons artillery missile launchers we need to
8:39 am
prepare two million militia fighters or right now holding military exercises to mobilize the powerful national ball of aryan armed forces national bolivarian military aviation all of our in the navy and the national guard and we're getting ready to defend our country but we're also getting ready to combat unlawful threats coming from donald trump in violation of international law i.e. the threat of a us military intervention there this is just immoral and i use every media outlet to urge the entire world heads of state heads of government and world leaders social movements and the international community to denounce the. absurd steps donald trump is taking against venezuela and to stop him he threatened us with a military intervention but venezuela has not surrendered and we never made it out but is anyone listening to us. i think so the world is becoming increasingly sensible inconscious day by day the aversion towards donald trump and his threats
8:40 am
will be growing among the twenty first century is not the time for cannon fire and military threats no because the twenty first century should be a century of dialogue zero and civilized behavior politics respect for diversity peace peaceful coexistence and finding peaceful diplomatic solutions to international conflicts to dialogue is the most important thing for venezuela and that's our motto. you're talking about dialogue and meanwhile your army is getting ready for a military action no nation is ready for war though so here's the big question how can this work be avoided we need to do it through spreading the truth and through peaceful diplomacy the international community must step in we need to ensure that a military intervention would cost the u.s. entirely too much in terms of military spending and human lives what's the formal reason for this war what's the sas this pelisse i'm asking you did i say have right . causes belly what's donald trump's casas belly against venezuela and what is
8:41 am
it why do we have w m d's are we a threat to us national security do you know what the cost is belli is here venezuelan oil going as well as resources gold natural gas diamonds or water our material wealth part of the cast his belly is our spiritual wealth by which i mean the ball of aryan revolution the u.s. wants to destroy the legacy of the revolution that became a shining example of independence and social justice the u.s. has no reason to threaten us i mean it's almost trump has to immediately take back all his military threats against the peaceful and. noble people of venezuela know that all of ours people these are external threats but there is a domestic conflict unfolding as well what is the main threat it poses down all separate then deal in the domestic conflict boils down to a coup attempt in violation of our constitution when there was an attempt to create another government that would function simultaneously and it was doomed to fail no
8:42 am
new government exists it only functions on line with the support of satellite countries and there was an attempt to substitute a general election which is the only legitimate way to become president in venezuela with declaring yourself a leader in the city square with the support of social media and mass media i genuinely believe in dialogue i believe in it and i hope that the initiative put forward by mexico oregon i bolivia and the fourteen caricom countries can come to fruition allowing venezuela to create an environment for understanding generosity dialogue and positive plans for the future i mean you know and if in the course of this dialogue it was decided to hold a new election would you agree to it i mean the problem for us is not about having an election it's all about our economy and the first thing we should agree on is that we demand the lifting of our economic trade and financial blockade we should demand that resources which have been stolen from us be returned should be the first provision of the program for our country's long term rehabilitation as for
8:43 am
the election i would raise the question of granting legal status to the legislative power the only one which hasn't had it in the recent years and doing so ahead of time. in the senator leahy well. and i think it is later just almost. just. actually i know i am. and i'm as you know dumb as you know not. cannot you get away with all of them ok if there. was
8:44 am
none of my stuff and i had a girl with a bad day i wait for the last day of a good watch that i'm not going to be. the man that having. people. give their name not a come on what the how do i sought out a soon i'll show you now and not go again meanwhile go on why go far. why didn't i let out on asia was so not in. the form. i've been saying numbers mean some matter if you have a one trillion dollars in debt more than terms like hard times happy. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be rich the point six percent market saw
8:45 am
thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade first shock at first shock and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars. ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one the one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boombox. if they are you willing to negotiate with one go i don't know if you do negotiate with that or will you recognize him as a legitimate player would you be willing to do so if you could ok one way that i believe that one why dollars upon used by the opposition for a reckless scenario that is not destined to be implemented i am and i've always been ready to negotiate more than three hundred times so i've called for dialogue
8:46 am
with all parties and different opposition leaders which are more significant than this individual i suggested sitting at the negotiating table with an open agenda and working out a peaceful solution for venezuela in order to normalize the situation in our country but they refused to sit at the negotiating table and you find yourself at a crossroads now so you're saying you got if they refuse then things will go the way they've always gone in venezuela peace will be established one way or another venezuela will continue going its own way these military threats by the u.s. government against venezuela can only galvanize public consensus that the country needs peace if they follow us government instructions and refused to negotiate it will not be to their advantage in the eyes of the public according to polls more than eighty percent of venezuelans want to see negotiations and a peaceful resolution of the situation. and the us president trauma doesn't intend to discuss anything either nonetheless mexican came up with an initiative do you
8:47 am
think that mexico or russia and china are playing a key role here how can this crisis be resolved internationally your out of the way . i appreciate the diplomatic position of most governments calling for dialogue i'm grateful to vladimir putin's government for its strong and clear position and for openly opposing any aggression aimed at venezuela or a coup attempt i am grateful to chinese president paying for his position as well as to the president of turkey and prime ministers and presidents of the whole world particularly in latin america i support the initiative of mexican president andre manual oprah's abra door or of why in president told our advice quiz bowl of aryan president have omar alice and prime ministers of fourteen caribbean community states who will start a round of talks at a global peace conference on feb sixth and seventh all the parties involved in the venezuelan conflict will meet there that much needed negotiations i believe in
8:48 am
dialogue in solving problems through mutual understanding i believe in the power of words and in politics i don't believe in war violence and military threats you can rest assured peace will prevail in venezuela and so will the word of peace whether they want to they're not peace will rule in venezuela. as for domestic policy your concern about the economy yes i'm deeply concerned let's talk about the economy hyperinflation is a serious concern at the same time that there is no research or cannot make variables that you can use as a basis for a government plan to promote economic development how do you plan to kick start the economy. back in august i launched an economic recovery program to spur growth and achieve prosperity it features eleven key changes to reach equilibrium in taxes and finances and boost investment there have been areas where we have succeeded in areas where we have failed but overall i. i believe it is the right plan boy today our priority is to go back to growth increase productivity and g.d.p.
8:49 am
but we also need to tackle those distortions causing hyper inflation which spoils the lives of venezuelans and we do have strong policies in place in such areas as social protection labor a safety net national welfare pension state education in medicine housing culture and leisure we are constantly revising salaries no doubt hyperinflation caused by the illegal power market exchange rate has strongly damaged our economy and this is my concern right now implementing a market economy action plan that is already yielded some good results it's too early to call it a victory but i believe in the success of our market policy we seek to keep the criminal influence of the us dollar in check and to make sure it does not have an impact on our fight against hyperinflation this year can you please give some specific example today we work on two main tracks first our market we have already succeeded in decreasing the criminal parallel exchange rate of the us dollar and
8:50 am
now we are introducing new regulations to determine the real value of foreign currencies second we're testing a fixed price system for food which is meant to protect the market from the direct influence of exchange rates this is an economic war where in we have increased production output in certain industries but this is still the major issue for our nation and we have everything that is needed to ensure rapid economic recovery and accumulation of wealth alongside with fostering the well being of the country and it will allow us to bring venezuela back to the high living standards and social welfare that we used to have. let's talk about bloomberg vs say in the city and how do you plan to address in it to continue implementing your government's agenda by the sanctions. last week the u.s. froze it goes assets it's a major venezuelan company a p.d. vs a subsidiary that works in the us. yes energy sector this is an attempt to introduce an embargo and unlawfully confiscate the assets under us jurisdiction because we
8:51 am
are locked in a legal struggle we are fighting for justice their actions are illegal measures like these have never been introduced against any other country in the us seizes accounts property whole companies and we are fighting back it will take a lot of time to solve all these issues how are you going to keep the country going in the meantime we're not. going to do not depend on this source of revenue the whole world should know this since freezing these assets was portrayed as a major achievement venezuela does not depend on that money now if anyone wants to buy our oil that we used to sell through citgo they will have to pay in cash or venezuela's oil port for the ships to set out previously the ships would leave port and only after thirty or sixty days the oil they carried would be paid for in full via credit cards now they will have to pay in cash so again venezuela does not depend on this money we are fighting for justice we can still sell our oil to other
8:52 am
countries and that's what we're doing. and who do you sell it to now there are many markets in the world asian markets like china and india and others to do it through russian companies that it's selling oil to china is not the same as to the u.s. which is very close to shipping coasts must be way higher but all month they want to independence yes but this way we maintain our independence in terms of sales we will follow the plan we developed to increase output from the one point five million barrels we have today up to two point five that will give venezuela all that is needed to launch economic recovery in the finance in the end you see that you favor independence over economic benefits and given that we accept the humanitarian aid that foreign countries offer to why don't you know. it would. only take this is all a political show. all that humanitarian aid as they call it imperialists have never
8:53 am
helped anyone no one can you give me a country where they actually sent that humanitarian aid of theirs bombs are all they ever send bombs that destroyed afghanistan iraq libya syria bombs that brought death this is nothing but a show venezuela will never be dependent it will never be begging for anything we can produce what we need and import what we need to we always have and we always will be able to do that here's an example we have launched a program introducing the local committees for supply and production they're ready covers six million families at least every twenty days these six million families receive a set of twenty five different food products both produced locally and imported our program is aimed at helping six million families that's thousands of tons of food this is true humanitarian aid we will continue to provide our people with education and health services food and jobs just like we're doing now the rest is just
8:54 am
a cheap trick to justify intervening in our country's affairs that you so you won't accept that i want to accept interventionism in any form make no mistake even in the form of humanitarian aid that's just them trying to paint it in a good light but it's merely a facade venezuela is not a country of beggars and we'll make sure venezuela is respected. and it's an innocent until you have talked about everything you've managed to achieve in the twenty years since the revolution well michel would it take to attain all its goals and accomplish it. to be honest nobody can say for sure it took our republic two hundred years to become independent some historical processes get accelerated while others take more time of course twenty years ago venezuela was very different in terms of human rights today people have the right to education health care housing their leisure and stable employment there are still many objectives we have to reach and problems we need to solve but i think it will take at least ten more
8:55 am
years to make major changes in the economy to create a sustainable industrial framework that would be technologically advanced and allow us to diversify the economy so that we no longer depend on just one product for oil . ten more years of the revolution with madieu room and then somebody else will take old i mean. i'm sure there are new leaders both men and women many people said that without commandant that chavez the revolution would be over however comandante chavez raised a new generation comandante chavez handed the reins of power over to me at a certain point he trusted me and i have been leading the republic the revolution for six years but i assure you it is collective leadership so the work will continue even after my doors term is over we get a moment of however many people got tired of waiting and instead of stepping in to solve problems they left the country and moved somewhere else there is no official date on the un says it is about five million people your government estimated
8:56 am
between six hundred thousand and nine hundred thousand let's not talk about the numbers now can you relate to the sentiment of those who are legally able so to them or we only have our internal verified data the number of students for example in twenty eighteen it grew seven percent almost ninety percent go to preschool elementary school get secondary and higher education energy consumption is up six percent employment is also seven percent higher these are the data we have on the labor jobs and energy consumption. people use more fuel as well this number has grown by twelve percent it's a clear signal it's three to five million had left venezuela we would have had ghost town and since our overall population is thirty million on the contrary venezuela welcomes immigrants you must know that five point eight million colombians live in our country do them a gracious floridians have the data wait let me finish and then i will answer your question wherever you go you will run into
8:57 am
a man or woman from colombia over three hundred thousand ecuadorians live in venezuela over three hundred thousand peruvians almost a million arabs this is a little known fact in other countries three hundred thousand people from portugal and another three hundred thousand from spain venezuela has the highest number of migrant communities among all latin american and caribbean countries now for the first time we have a significant amount of people leaving the country due to economic issues but we still offer aid to them i proposed a repatriation plan called back to the homeland and thousands of venezuelans have come back buses and planes arrive every day i've launched flights between venezuela and ecuador peru and argentina and now twelve thousand venezuelans have returned fifty thousand venezuelans have registered at our embassies in chile argentina ecuador peru stating their desire to come back many of our people have left hoping to find a better life but instead they found xena phobia persecution and exploitation and
8:58 am
we said that many people have left and john bolton for example wish to acquire a charm and the beach far from it as well and where would you like to spend your retirement. you know i'd like to spend my retirement surrounded by grandchildren and great grandchildren when i turn ninety i want to be in some part of caracas elevator mountain or on the critique of beach in venezuela i'm a venezuelan and i will spend my last days in my homeland all these statements are simply a matter ravings of the white house john bolton and donna. trump they're far from reality but they underestimate us i feel that they despise us donald trump john bolton mike palmer pale mike pence despise us because they think that they're american imperialism is superior they despise all other nations latin america and venezuela they despise us and their statements are zina phobic and arrogant this is what i think about john bolton statements to the world thank you for talking to our
8:59 am
to us thank you. so i will. desists is a stick of water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all of this waste become but he has long promised to reuse the plastic. soon as he speaks in maine. on my end i need to stay on your own such a special project funded me. on i knew that is the end of it for the team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher.
9:00 am
join me every first week on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know if putin said suddenly that oh are we recognize nancy pelosi has the president united states that we're not going to talk with donald trump the world of the you know how rage but of course the u.s. has a stereo exceptionalism and that no law applies to them and so they can do whatever they want but by the central banks buying gold as they are they are now coming to the conclusion that america has lost its mind and then when they run out of gold to buy i guarantee you they're going to start fishing around that one market.
