the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented. within a decade my country was ruined. it lost a quarter of its manufacturing. a 1000000 people emigrated and public debt kept rising. in 2015 a government claiming to be a left wing promise to force it into. however its agreed measures that tie the

country up until 2060 and started messing privatisation. voters on the lift became depressed because it had succeeded with what the right hadn't. the right was depressed because they knew they'd lost their is on different. in this country of mass depression however there was one word that awakens the political fervor of the. venezuela. that's. the supporting cast we see. steve it is would send them the busy.

on another human as well again not good no not though. when a european country went through a crisis why were its politicians worried about toilet paper in latin america. i flew to caracas to find out. during the 11 hour flight i read all sorts of articles warning me that caracas is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. if i wasn't murdered as soon as i got off the plane i'd be kidnapped or mugged or die of hunger or disease. will rot in prison.

venezuela's capital is indeed amongst the most dangerous cities but so are dozens of cities in mexico brazil lo columbia. however the people there do have fun like we do they exercise much like us. children eat ice cream and some women carry refrigerators for some reason. surprisingly nobody tried to kill kidnap or imprison me when i arrived. during those 1st few hours i sold venezuela and fallen victim to the biggest propaganda plot of the 21st century.

not me it's only the keeping out because i wanted to see life in the barrios the slums of caracas gatecrash which winnings i could be and when i wanted to be to young people insisted workers see what they do for fun. what they eat how they vote what newspapers they read their favorite hobbies. until we got hit by a taxi and we were left in the middle of the street. the police who we hadn't called arrived within minutes. the ambulance that we did call never appeared. so i went off to explore all venezuela's public health care system .

and found a doctor right away and most of the public hospitals i visited were more than decent. and some clinics medical care was offered for free by cuban doctors who were considered some of the best in latin america. however most hospitals lacked one essential element. patients. as to what a medicine is there's no point in going. spare parts for the x. ray machines were missing to. find those i had to go to a private hospital. ready and i stumbled on the 1st proof that socialism had failed in venezuela.

as one of venezuela's most eminent economists she's never hidden her support for the bolivarian revolution of chavez. maybe. there is no humanitarian crisis in venezuela looming humanitarian crisis mean yet as if there's a. humanitarian crisis. and crisis. crises the country's economic crisis has turned into a humanitarian one. everyone

said venezuela was going through a humanitarian crisis. and to prove it they went to geneva to be truly un independent experts. desirous. he just returned from caracas. people also seems to have a problem with the humanitarian crisis. that is a term of art said to me most technique was. you used the term humanitarian crisis. a pretext to. humanitarian intervention this was the argument made in libya when you wanted to have humanitarian intervention in libya. and at the same time regime change and overthrow the american military.

but with food for everybody is that it correct but the humanitarian aid would have to be secured by guys with guns. obviously there are certain items that are missing. because production. trade distribution is entirely in private hands it is not government directed so if you have a considerable portion of the wealthy. business position. that does not want to cooperate with the government you are going to have a scar city and you're going to have delays and distribution that cetera et cetera so i. think we'll. do. you.

see a doctor who. said oh my god intense yet in sydney seeing. the minute. episode of the. mainland. according to the central bank of venezuela products were missing before the constitutional referendum and regional elections of 2007. before the presidential election of 2012 and off to chavez's death that again led to elections. american sanctions will soon be added to this artificial scarcity making the situation even worse. brought director of the c.p.r. in washington follows all economic developments he believes that america's sanctions are killing people in venezuela.

when obama 1st imposed the same things on individuals because they violate so many international conventions. he had to declare that venezuela poses an extraordinary and unusual threat to the security of the united states which is of course ridiculous and so this is a very aggressive thing trumpet taking a big step further and really did make it nearly impossible for the venezuelan economy recover temperamental that it will kill for you not see it oh no he needs them from being a woman to have some if you see a. b. and he says he might make a mean 200 mean but i limp. lived all the facets illness it really is sad that they claim that. it's under less from them i think i said in that message that insecure

men to conduct album. they're not interested in knowing why there is a problem so just to be sure why there are certain medicines are not available they don't tell you for instance that although venezuela has the money to buy medicines and tries to buy these medicines often enough the countries either refuse to deal with venezuela or do not deliver. we had in the month of november the crisis. in the province. and. they couldn't get to my lariam medicine from colombia they had to fly it in from india. so matter of fact.

venezuela has been flying in from god knows how many countries to india and china etc there is a problem of course the deal insulin but that is because of the boycott i mean put the blame where. the blame belongs. how can we condemn the government of venezuela. when we ourselves are causing this car city. join me every day on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sport i'm show business i'll see you then.

this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young woman the streets. what happens to her family daughters in florida you know the mother daughter is innocent it is meaning messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police need is a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be. shocked shocked as far. as i feel. we don't know just for. the end of this trial unfortunately you. will still not know childress. historically took his opponents. claim that there are 3 issues.

and to refuse to muslim the fact as we are too poor is no longer correct because our per capita purchase very. most of the current deal member countries. dr you don't as hoarding products in times of political unrest american sanctions the queues for foods and medicines. this i've seen before.

in november 970 socialist salvador and then they became chile's president. the historic day for latin america. for the white house it was a mistake by the american ambassador in santiago edward gorey. he was going to. let me just say oh you mean you're going to tell you know i'm going to. die and he was elected i said that it was a grave and very serious defeat for the united states we knew that although i would act in what appeared to be a legal and constitutional manner it would be designed as

a class warfare to eliminate the middle class opposition the bourgeois it would be a class war approach. top secret sensitive eyes only. nixon already in september called in and. kissinger could tell that it would not be tolerated that in latin america an alternative. and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream. nixon gives orders that they make the chilean economy scream and cia director richard helms writes it down.

they hinted at tagging. and forth. but at the moment this in indonesia has to put him to not see the end of the enemy nor neck in seeing him batted well planned on the upset about. this with the sun is from the mask and underneath the. simple. look in the middle of. the.

back of the. goal. but i guess i've. got to. go. in venezuela's case the media attacks will be based on a well used recipe. everyone has to be convinced that. dictators even when they held elections. in the 2 decades of the revolution. at least 25 elections were held and accredited by independent experts like the.

over 92 elections men are monitored i would say that the election process in voters' where is the best in the world. where all the electoral process is legal and democratic. and 2015 party loses the parliamentary election and the right wing opposition wins in the national assembly. believe the country is paralyzed as m.p.'s hinder legislative work and rejects supremes court rulings. responds with a football dribble will lose. its. instead of waiting for the hand of god as his friend would advise changes field in the

middle of the game. of the holds a referendum on the formation of a constitutional assembly that would remove the powers of the national assembly controlled by his opponents find. a constitutional move absolutely. the opposition had twice considered using the same procedure to remove chavez from office in 2007. in 2016. before the government. was the decision ethical. i may not be qualified to say. in my country as well as in italy the banker was appointed prime minister. and a referendum was ignored. in europe we cancelled

a total of 5 referendums because the citizens hadn't voted as the e.u. wanted them to. was those decisions constitutional maybe they were but they also ethical and democratic. in venezuela after the 2015 crisis the part of the right wing opposition started boycotting elections. last the un not to send experts who could determine whether fraud had been attempted. democracy in venezuela goes into turmoil this is the government solely responsible

or is it also the ghost of the 2002 coup. several coup instigators will never go to prison and will form the hard core of the right wing office. it's interesting that. many of the opposition politicians today in venezuela were involved in some way or another in the coup d'etat of april. 2002. some of those politicians will continue to receive funding from american organizations like the any d. that send 1000000. of congress dole is to venezuela.

when the political crisis hit the streets many politicians exploited public frustration and transformed caracas into a battlefield. thoughts of the opposition resorted to extreme violence. yet to get off. the sad state mechanism responded cruelly and indiscriminately dozens were killed on both sides and many ended up in prison. when independent un expert alfred desireless visited caracas. he persuaded the government to release 80 prisoners are. just flat he insists though that some

should be in prison and should be considered political prisoners. on the subject of political prisoners he said we should look at europe as well. they are 4 persons. got a lot of politicians who are. now these 4. politicians are clearly political prisoners. whereas in venezuela many of the detainees were detained because acts of violence. they were. detained because they were just expressing

their. desire to be independent. to be sure that they're all political prisoners in spain i went to barcelona to visit a fellow journalist. public t.v. carlist but outs. he explained that even if the political prisoners he couldn't say so. at least not on. the. and he called. who said what kinds of words we can

use when we speak about people in prison. just saying we cannot use. the terms political prisoners for example. because i honestly couldn't believe that in a european country a judge could decide what words a journalist could use. i stayed to watch the broadcast and i heard a breaking story. but i'm not going to. come out of the lot out. there. n.c. state. as

jody sanchez was not allowed to speak to journalists i left the studio and went to meet his wife. i made a list that i knew i needed. some coffee and i know in the theater paying a yes or no from place of political bait or see. that lady seem ok there is that impression unfortunately they are. lake says and she forms part of a high altitude nature reserve. it's one of the famous teetotal indonesia's principal waterway starts its journey.

but it can be summed up to the top of my got a septic tank. it runs 300 kilometers from source to mouth and there are over $200.00 industrial facilities ranged along its banks. i'm not on your muscle. but. you do 3 things. i might get out of them and to be in. the room here again scuba 4000 rice fields and supplies drinking water to 25000000 people. at the moment yes. somewhere possible that a film about a couple of people me yet. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. i. think you'll be. up.

in a mosque change of attitude u.s. mainstream media now want to be dangerous president being that the journalists by washington's intensify pursuit of julie in a song's. president trump announces he's sending more troops to the middle east and speeding up arms sales to the region to keep iran in check. netflix show 13 reasons why up ascertain who killed herself fox fresh outrage with critics saying it should be pulled from the platform for a month or sizing suicide our guests debate the issue. of the problem is that they did kind of you know glamorized at their kind of romanticized this idea behind it you know we have to give the you responsibility on this.
