god. god. god god god god god oh. well here at the ten deep this bridge crossing right on the colombian venezuelan border i'm on the colombia side you can see venezuela behind me there was a lot of momentum here the small inning to get these so-called humanitarian aid trucks through but for now it seems to have largely fizzled out here now made an appearance this morning he climbed up on one of the trucks addressed the crowd then he made a statement standing alongside his allies and the president of chile and the president of paraguay and western correspondents were saying that it would be leading what
7:04 pm
they called a human wave across this bridge surrounded by protesters and himself had called for a humanitarian avalanche but is nowhere to be found at least here in route and what i've been told is that why don't he's actually left now the other bridge crossings in the area have seen violent clashes indeed now one humanitarian aid truck was reportedly even set on fire at one point protesters uprooted a tree trunk and used it actually as a battering ram against. and it's when when a police vehicle in another instance protesters from both sides were throwing rocks at one another. both nicolas maduro and one guy i don't know have called for protests from their respective supporters there was an opposition protest in your caracas where protesters surrounded an air force base. now

julie and brazil have said that this so-called humanitarian aid has actually entered venezuela at some of the crossing points but that's certainly not the case here is the humanitarian you know these these trucks are still sitting on the colombian side of the border just a few hundred meters ahead of me and the bolivian president evo morales has denounced this and said it's a trojan horse that the u.s. he accused the u.s. of attempting to smuggle weapons under the cover of humanitarian aid and considering the involvement of the state department special envoy to venezuela elliott abrams who did just exactly that back in the one nine hundred eighty s. under the reagan administration it seems to be a legitimate concern now the latest is that venezuela's president nicolas maduro has ordered the he's cut all ties with colombia so a total diplomatic rupture which is certainly
7:06 pm
a disturbing development but it's all quiet here it indeed does bridge but the other crossings there are clashes going on on the u.s. national security advisor john bolton is calling on the venezuelan armed forces to turn against the president woodrow in a tweet he threw down on the ultimatum. venezuela's military has a choice embrace democracy protect civilians and allow in humanitarian aid or face even more sanctions and isolation earlier at least three members of venezuela's national guard deserted their posts on the border and try to flee to colombia we're going to show you the moment they try to ram their vehicle through security cordon into colombia just a warning you may find the video distressing. it was. was

against another u.s. war a war that's for oil that's for internal is domination and has nothing to do with humanitarian aid as there is no war that the u.s. has ever what that has been for humanitarian purpose it will raise a firestorm within latin america that is absolutely clear destruction of the economy of venezuela this is a crime that that the u.s. is committing their there and saying that there is a chaos and and a u.s. intervention is needed but who is causing the economic destabilization in venezuela it's a seizing of venezuela's own funds and the him imposition of sanctions and the blocking of trade that the u.s. is orchestrating the opposition of course realizes that they have a big mediocre form and they are going to make all kinds of claims but they are the
7:09 pm
ones who are accepting shipments of arms that will lead to many more deaths and they are the ones who are creating a crisis on the border demanding that these trucks get through this is the wealthiest people in venezuela who could well provide for other people if they so chose instead and they want. to get rid of the elected government. with the phone as well in opposition blaming the government for severe shortages of basic goods one of recitative journalists in caracas says that everything is as it seems like through of all went to a local market. truth the truth is. your we. this is so. it's really it's better than. we can see.

7:17 pm
elections it was done of has the details. the it. was. the it was. on fire the small book a nation has been engulfed in a massive anti government protests which literally left a stain on the face of the country's prime minister. start us out of. the country's opposition decided to destroy their parliamentary mandates you know kick the system out of order so what is going on well the allegation the authorities face is no joke a lot of people are certain the government is working hand in hand with the drug lords parliament that is not the product of the vote of the people but is
7:18 pm
a product that has been exposed by a judicial wire tapes published by the international media. organized crime cooperating openly with the current government alleged league phone calls of one of the country's most notorious cartels revealed dozens of albanian m.p.'s were happy to use the gang's influence and well persuasion skills to buy votes in the general election which the ruling party won by a landslide wiretaps also led to the official investigation into albania's former interior minister he stands accused of passive corruption drug trafficking and of being an active gang member and here comes the twist the prosecutors can't really do anything but prowl around him since albania's prime minister has refused to revoke his diplomatic immunity shielding him from the law there fishel position was
7:19 pm
to deny everything we do every allegation of corruption you know they were to do. demented evidence in there is allegations and but in this instance there are significant documented in evidence links between the current government organized crime money laundering and the trafficking of drugs and i think it needs to be ascertained as to whether the two thousand and seventeen elections were free and fair or whether there was buying and vote rigging going on and i think that is why people that sort of the cherry on the cake you know white people feel that they need to be said action taken and it could be a case of just a few bad apples but the opposition says it is not the sheer scale really of the drug operations in colombia of europe is mind blowing this tiny nation has become one of the biggest transit hubs for heroin cannabis and cocaine smuggling racketeering
7:20 pm
a server police force in the pocket of crime lords politicians enabling the drug trade instead of fighting it this is what albanian protesters say drives them to the street yet so far they've mostly been told to shut up and know their place for the democratic party the socialist movement for integration and other opposition parties to abandon their mandates in parliament undermine the basic principles of democracy yeah a political protest is apparently a violation of democracy in the us rulebook the same us by the way that suffers from a severe drug problem of its own europe that albania's mafia have turned into a dirty money cash cow doesn't seem to mind of backing the elites to the lawmakers go against the democratic too as a full band citizens and undermine the progress the country has made on the european union path yes the e.u. seems eager to overlook the opposition's cry for help and set the nato nation and
7:21 pm
europe to the drug den on the course of integrating into the union. what they're doing is provided for in the electoral college i am a constitution of this country therefore what they are doing is completely one hundred percent democratic yes it's causing a political crisis but this political crisis is only happening because there are serious allegations of election rigging. i think that the e.u. and the us i don't know whether it's ignorance or whether they have some other agenda but there is i mean people are shocked at the way that they're behaving and they've systematically failed to address any of the protests in albania over the last year the protesters are angry about this civil society is angry about this me as a journalist i'm angry about this because the fact two to three opposition m.p.'s resigning is democratic it's the pinnacle of democracy. may be

deported to russia as early as next month according to her lawyer was the time then accused of being a russian agent by the united states the bar but of justice in july over driscoll says he's hopeful that she will be released in two to six weeks and join my colleague neil harvey earlier to discuss the case. but the hang up is really going to be the timing of the sentencing hearing we have a status conference for the judge on tuesday and will inform the judge kind of where we're at in terms of cooperation i will make presentation as will the government prosecutors and hopefully that point will set a date maybe in a few weeks or a month to hopefully have a sentencing. you know fairly soon or matter of weeks and then at that sentencing. if it's time served sentence she would be deported fairly soon thereafter always wanted to return to russia that's been her goal from the beginning and so given
7:23 pm
that that's her position you know i'm working with the government officials to make that happen as quickly as possible so as the sentence is done do you feel is that you'll fully informed on exactly what's going on you have a pretty good idea of where this is heading could there be surprises that any of the cases that the u.s. authorities might hold for example there's always a risk i mean obviously under cooperation agreement she has to agree to you know she's agreed to cooperate with the government and if the government has more things for her to cooperate with her more questions they have they could conceivably keep her a bit longer for people who maybe aren't familiar with this case they want click on their knees and they hear this story. you know something about challenges failure and to register as a. foreign agent in another country they had mentioned ivana chapman people will immediately the thought thinking so she is spying yeah i mean i think that's very important is that the government is not even alleging she's a spy the government did not charge her with espionage the government in charge her with having classified information what this case is about where the government
7:24 pm
charged her with was acting as an agent of a foreign official in particular and the torsion who she had known through the gun rights movement was a mentor to her so it's very different then a typical case you know as is no similarities with anna chapman who at least was alleged to have been involved in passing of cash and drops and had secret communication devices and things like that. just came up three thirty am here in moscow those are the headlines for this hour goodbye from myself or the team for now i'll see you again in thirty minutes for the latest updates.
