tolerated or even supported by the authorities. even in the usa the police killed almost a 1000 people in 2018. in some of those countries have called the military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. we have troops all over the world that places a very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and they're dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. i'm always careful when we talk about south and central america and the cia there's a lot of stories. we are very hopeful that there could be a transition of venezuelans i was just down in mexico city and in bogota week

before last talking about this very issue trying to help them understand the things they might do so that they can get a better outcome for c.n.n. can now confirm the president trump asked a number of his top foreign policy advisers last summer about the possibility of invading venezuela thank you. and now opposition needs you on one has declared himself the country's new president have you also the president of the united states for any military support in your struggle by as a way down on the amount of this is going up as it would in terms of taking decisions that even though this is a dictatorship the little people want to advance with whatever pressure is needed

this is no time for dialogue this is time for. any negotiations with nicolas maduro. no. the strange thing about the coup and threat of invasion is that they didn't just come from the usa. supporters of the right wing opposition asked for a foreign country to invade theirs. and i made the mistake of answering one of them . i told him it had happened in greece back in the days of nazi collaborators. i hadn't noticed that the person had hundreds of thousands of followers on twitter . dozens of them offered to teach me new expressions in english and spanish.

using teaching methods from the t.v. series norco's. call. either whole day. key. was when i received an interesting message. i had just been given my next mission my dear twitter friends explained that if i was a real journalist and wanted to understand venezuela i had to go to the border with colombia. they were absolutely right. ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback

that night i boarded a bus with dozens of venezuelans leaving the country. just a nation the border crossing out in colombia. place where the local mafia random to members of colombia's civil war paramilitary groups meet operate only. for breakdowns one flat tire found an attack with stones flying past my head resulted in a 19 hour journey. plenty of time to read international press articles on venezuela's immigrants and refugees . from reuters to the daily mirror dozens of stories repeating that the case here resembles syria and the people of myanmar.

they compared an economic crisis to civil war and genocide. in the news i mostly saw people leaving the country here i could see a few returning to venezuela even within a day. they import us they see. those many of the base. at the colombian border i experienced one of the many side effects of economic collapse but i learned nothing new about what caused it.

surprisingly i found more answers in a town just 40 kilometers east of san cristobal. hundreds of vehicles queued for hours at gas stations. this was another artificial shortage caused by private. smugglers collaborating with local offices buying gas and other government subsidized commodities and colombia. taking advantage of that as well as price controls contraband goods have become a lucrative business in neighboring colombia where these products can sell for prices at least $10.00 times more it is estimated that almost 40 percent of them this will is food is illegally transported across the border.

hiding food away in storage for political and economic purposes is bad enough. not being able to find gasoline when you have the biggest oil reserves is a real. especially when the government provides gas almost feel free. to understand what was going on i had to return to caracas where the gasoline flows generously.

as i couldn't reconcile the oil production in my mind i decided to walk so. but he has been following venezuela's energy policy professor carlos mendoza. a consultant on energy issues for the central bank of them as. we know they are we picking. the areas he's. been the last one he never see even. you know again not a moment there. and he. wanted to thank you you. know.

according to international media of venezuela failed even though it's been proved to have the world's biggest oil reserves. is that really true. elim facias. king. fueling these. relief and i know you know. also. sorting out you know. where that. thing. is it will. give us a feel. for me. the length this. local

the way has anyone willing to put on that island. are you in the place will put you know. you better tell me so you know. you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

the world is driven by shaped by our own personal. dares thinks. we dare to ask. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. what happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery in healing 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. i am shocked shocked as far off society we feel. we don't know still just spoke on. that end of this trial unfortunately you surely will still not know for childress. of course. even without the all right ok reserves venezuela has a lot of oil. so how did it get into its current situation. many people told me

that it suffers from a strange disease. and familial and there's a lot of. phil mickelson. they can see it with. a bit. because it's called the dutch disease and i thought i should go to whole and. sadly we see that many obese countries and up with much worse economic performance much worse in a call to you much more poverty than before the end or well for the gas well or the mineral oil so that's been cold i'm dutch myself has been called the dutch disease . the dutch disease

is something which is taught in the netherlands sneddon's was one of the main gas export to get all this gas he holding on the north part of holland. as a result of the gas being exported it was a lot of extra mom for the guild or for the dutch currency that pushed up the value of the guild and the made a very strong currency but as a result of that the rest of the industry in the netherlands became less competitive found a more difficult to export aboard so although we were well through in terms of gas our industry was suffering it might be causing on the point. venezuela has suffered from the dutch disease since the 930 s. when oil income was converted into holidays clothes and mentions for the elite. say economy so. you add that but the one that's you know i'm. not going to

know. now these are friends who will. be always one of them i thought. well good luck if we see a bank will get out of the moon. is that people of course. all of the blog. is wouldn't kill the dutch disease. but for the 1st time an oil revenue wasn't going to the elite or to foreign multinationals. let's look 1st at the old times and shove estoril still alive then chavez put

a lot of the money over the oil the huge oil money eventually gets into helping the people of venezuela as he put it into the education system and put it into the health care. his successes. is a different story now we do have. more. rest and then they go. contrary. along with the oil price collapse financially from the usa. for this purpose we're going to announce sanctions against.

the state. we're looking at the oil. the government of venezuela it will make a big difference to the united states economically if we could have american oil companies. capabilities in. the absurdity in venezuela's economy. then when i tried to exchange the dollars i had with me. as well as the official exchange rate for the. black market right.

from a facebook page. things have changed they can find it on instagram. maybe . by controlling. anyone could citizens against the government. saw.

2 opposing sides of trying to explain the crisis in venezuela. economic. news. more.

prosperous nation. of course isn't it socialist free for all socialist economic model socialist utopia this is not a failed socialist state socialism socialist venezuela this is the socialist dilemma. i don't think so because actually during that period you know the vast majority were in the private sector. and they didn't come anywhere near say france which has 55 percent of its g.d.p. is government. more socialist. even when chavez nationalized companies mainly in the oil sector the private sector

grew more rapidly than the public sector. venezuela was therefore never a socialist country. and even its greatest opponents knew it. when its economic growth rate was doubled out of the usa and poverty was down by 50 percent. international media attributed the growth to capitalism. of the people. but when the crisis struck socialism was blamed. of the 2 made narratives putting the blame on sanctions or on socialism the reality

i saw in venezuela was much more complex. than maybe both. chavez's bolivarian revolution inherited all the structural problems that the economy had faced in the 20th century. the dutch disease the destroyed production high inflation and huge inequalities. but for the 1st time while revenues did not flow into the hands of the few and foreign oil companies. that were distributed to the people. then under constant economic war huge mistakes were made mainly in monetary policy. when oil prices collapsed all those problems old and new came to the surface.

of the ball was still poor and the rich who was still rich decided to take revenge . i travelled far trying to understand why when my country and europe was sinking in a crisis some was concerned about toilet paper in venezuela. some just wanted venezuela's oil and needed the pretext of humanitarian intervention. there was something more though. despite its mistakes and failures venezuela christian neo liberalism and the austerity imposed on the population by the elite. didn't achieve more than conservative governments would have in the sixty's and seventy's. but that's not

acceptable today. and anyone who deviates must be crushed. george w. bush the president of the united states government of iraq and the future of your

country. belongs to you. in the battle of iraq the united states and our allies have prevailed. what we can do and will do is support the aspirations of the libyan people came you saw i. i might perhaps the vice president of the united states and on behalf of president donald trump and all the american people. let me express the unwavering support of the united states is you the people of venezuela raise your voices in a call for freedom.

it's seemed wrong but old rules just don't. mean the world to get to shape our disdain to come out to it and engage with it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look

for common ground. in the big pain years and across the uk started 10 years i think it's time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what i've been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts fight it out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option $25.00 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion geopolitical jeopardy parity no political cookout where we will literally. be elites. late night show it's a rare form of these days and it's cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner. to leave me with one of my girls i can do this candle after politics gone wild like music. ok crosstalk is not about hype

it's about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. peter if you want to change something why don't we get rid of the bow tie i know that is too much. but if she warned you and i did the show would be sure that there was more of those. you see me you blew true. about their number one when you yes still behold the meanies i mean those are the infantile ball. a lot of you will soon as it bites about 2 kids each other both sides. as if. these.

were. people that god that they were days doing so. 8. we simply loosely knew she would include in. iran and this is when the bank is solvent and folks are concerned about their money so they. withdraw the money so here you have $1.00 of the foundation blocks of the global derivatives market the repo market and it's being bailed out every day by $75000000000.00 a day so it's the biggest bell up for a day for our it's never seen a bail up on an hourly basis this big ever in history.
