in 2015 a government claiming to be a left wing promise to force it into. however it's agreed measures that tie the country up until 2060 and started messing privatisation. motors 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 death row. in this country of mass depression however there was one word that awakens the political fervor of the past. venezuela. that's.

the. thing i love the supporting cast we see these days. steve it is lit up up and would send the end of the movie scene. the next few minutes well again not the. 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 correct. 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 local lumpia. 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 trying to kill kidnap or imprison me when i arrived.

during those 1st few hours i saw venezuela had fallen victim to the biggest propaganda plot of the 21st century. and not the only thing keeping out the i wanted to see life in the barrios the slums of caracas gatecrash rich weddings i am i wanted to be to young people assists and 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 haven't told arrived with a. minix. 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. in 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 the widow 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. 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. many people are mad that. there is no humanitarian crisis in venezuela looming humanitarian crisis mean yet as a venezuelans. humanitarian crisis. in crisis. the

country's economic crisis has turned into a humanitarian one. everyone said venezuela was going through a humanitarian crisis. approve it went to geneva to be truly un independent experts. just returned from caracas. people also seems to have a problem with the humanitarian crisis. that is a term of art that. 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. with food for everybody is that it correct but the humanitarian aid would have to be secured by guys with guns. 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. wealth. in this 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. do. see. the money. up the side of the. mill and. 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 as his death but again lead 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 followed. all economic development he believes that america's sanctions are killing people in venezuela. when obama 1st imposed these sanctions 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 to trumpet taking a big step further and really did make it nearly impossible for the venezuelan economy recover temperamental that it will kill for that ca to know he needs them

from being a woman to have some if you see a. b. and he says yeah look i'm with me coming behind me but i limp out of the book at all with all the facets illness it really is sad that they claim that. it's under less from the 2nd wife and i said in that message that but in superman to call his 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 the malaria medicine from colombia they had to fly it in from india. venezuela has been flying in from god knows how many countries to india and china etc there is a problem of scars to deal insulin but that is because of the boycott i mean put the blame where the blame belongs and. how can we condemn the government of venezuela. when we ourselves are causing this car city. 10 years 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 text birds. and one red rose another suggestion political jeopardy parody 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 i guess 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. no that is too much. i didn't really want. to know. but if she warned you posted by you and i did the dishes at the bazemore those jeans nudist beach and see me.

as and about that some of them when you guys e.q.'s. in the news i mean that so that in fact involve. a lot of people see sawing and fuzzy fights about to cut out the both sides. as if archer. here and she could walk staff cabinet 5 days doing this is. people who simply. include in it will. drive you down as holding products in times of political unrest american sanctions the queues for foods and medicines. this us thing before.

in november 970 socialist salvador allende 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. that he was he was going to. maybe just say oh you. know you know. but i only 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 henry kissinger to tell him 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. it will be hinted at. in. order to become a lasting. this or that but i'm able to mentally has to see him to know it's the end all be any. seeing him bad well planned on upset about. this with the center so no mass and can complete the. simple thing for the benefit of looking at it's.

the. back of the. goings. 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. a dictator

is 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 that we men are monitored i would say that the election process in voters' where is the best in the world. but we're told 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. these. 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. was it a constitutional move absolutely. the opposition had twice considered using the same procedure to remove chavez from office in 2007. in 2016. before the gun bill. was

a decision ethical. time may not be qualified to say. in my country as well as in italy the banker was appointed prime minister. the referendum was ignored. in europe we cancelled a total of 5 referendums because the citizens haven'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. to 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 ne d. . 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. he had to get off the bat. to state mechanism responded cruelly and indiscriminately dozens were

killed on both sides and many ended up in prison. when independent u.n. expert alfred desireless visited caracas. he persuaded the government to release 80 prisoners are just not 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. in jail. 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. carlos pouts. 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 that are in prison. just say 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 heard

a breaking story. also but i'm not going to. all just if you come out of i mean a lot. but he. as joe di sanchez was not allowed to speak to journalists i left the studio and went to meet his wife. and i know in the theater.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it is healing this is 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 plan this than him and what happens in court.

shocked shocked as far as i feel. we don't know just brutal. unfortunately you. will still not know she'll just. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you still were here i mean you are liz put me in the. school and you go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014.

those who took part in it invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. moscow accuses washington of violating its international commitments the u.s. failed to grant visas to several members of the russian delegation at the u.n. general assembly. iran north korea and china donald trump reels off the usual rivals and as you want addressed in a speech last be aimed at his home crowd. and which inspires court rules the prime minister broke the law by suspending parliament the judge's unanimous decision means employees will convene again tomorrow.
