[000:00:00;00] the, the, the u. s. we, nancy's venezuela's president john, ladies, the crown on an old position candidates once again, just like made it 5 years ago. they now say they have proof of the west. and the fact politician was in the election without disclosing any of the government disclosures. the details about the historic prisoner exchange, including the main negotiations that fit between rushes at speed on the us, the american senator has an apparent void in slip of the song as he says the us is to exploit north explore some result that comes

as washington forces concerned over china is policing in the thanks for joining us this friday evening here in moscow, this is on the international. it's time for your global news. well, not even a week as poss in spends why it is presidential election and the incumbent nicholas my daughter was declared the winner. but now the us insist that has proved that an opposition candidate got the most votes without actually disclosing any concrete evidence. a given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the united states and most importantly, to the venezuelan people that edmondo gonzalez, or d, o one, the most votes in venezuela's july 28 presidential election. we congratulate edmondo gonzalez, or dia on this successful campaign. now is the time for the venezuelan parties to

begin discussions on a respectful, peaceful transition in accordance with ben as well and electoral law and the wishes of the venezuelan people. the us now is dismissing the results of the witness while in elections and as recognize the opposition candidate to be the winner of the selection. that's edmondo gonzales, according to us secretary of state, there's over. well, i'm in evidence the deal. position one at the vin as well, and it looks all authority declared that my, that my door. oh is the one i would 51 percent of the votes on his side. and when the door celebrated the results, he made sure that everybody would know that their foreign entities that are trying to had to vote in system. he also stressed that this is not the 1st time that they're trying to do it in venice. well, i know none the less who us officials seem to be outraged with the results because that's not what they've been hoping for clearly. and they're demanding a release of full data elections almost in some sort of threat and in tone. i mean,

you have to bite in administration to suppress in, at this point that their patience is running out. it's interesting. so the us is saying that it has based, overwhelming evidence that actually the opposition candidates one the election. do we know what washington is talking about? they're talking about evidence, but nothing has been put out to the public. and this is a familiar pattern from the west. i mean, just recently, canada, excuse china, of, you know, syrians, but no evidence was provided to back that up. a, back in 2016 obama also was confident that russia hacked into e mails for the us elections, but no evidence was provided back then. these are so it's about what the west sees, but who they see as their favorites to use as some sort of a purpose. but let's remember the case of peru, because while the us essentially now is saying we need to hear the voices of the

vin as well as people that was not the same track that they played in the protest that happened in peru in 2022. when the right when clearly they're able to watch the types of power i guess peruse, elected left wing president castillo the us and braced her with open arms when angry, nationwide, protest erupt. heard about her role. we heard nothing but silence from the united states. so the list is really long, but you get the idea here. now on top of that, western media is not really hiding their bias either. i mean, the bbc has a headline and headlines the wind and been as well as choreographed celebrations as mid doro claims. when and even when you read through articles, you would see things such as the door controls, the electro authorities, or same things like the government faces pressure from the international community . because we know that the international community to them is, of course, the united states and its allies. now, madura on the other hand, did have some interesting points to make while he was addressing the what's the

media for kayla combined deputies feedback on the right kind of thing. and it is ways you're not using the international media. they want to justify military into banking in gauging god with whaler and show me that on the fi sanctions again against venezuela because they want to justify violence. that was interesting. is it the united states now is talking about other countries elections, but let's remember that the was itself has elections coming up in, according to paul's only 44 percent of americans have a great deal of trust that the vote counts will be accurate. so maybe the united states just starts focus in a little bit more on its own internal affairs, but either way, elections that are held by others, according to the united states, they're legitimate. if they're held by the us allies, they're ok. but back to vanessa, but a lot because the supreme court announced that he has opened an investigation into the results in the process of the election. and the door seems to be quite open and

transparent about the whole process. yeah. invitees us the supreme court to notify all of the details. so that's interesting. we've also had, i think, some comments from the venezuelan defense minister. now they're actually wanting that they could be a western crew that could be attempted. uh you are right. the vin as well. as it has been, a cert, essentially accused of some sort of western backed up position of attempt in immediate school. he has also condemned the widespread rise after mate doors. victory, inventory himself has said it has one before about a potential cool at the us has been trying to undermine uh, the, the silver and t event as well. and the stability of the country for a while, i mean, was seen as a defense that equipment, sanction sanctions that were pushed to deliberately crash the economy. and on top of that, he was successful. we're not really hiding their plans to try. that's helpful. the venezuelan government, 1st we thought that getting why go to declare himself present would be enough to

topple of using. then we thought putting aid on the border would be enough. then we tried to sort of construct a kind of to in april of last year and it blew up in our face. when all the generals that were supposed to break with madero decided to stick with him. in the end, we're hearing about the toppling of the government on one client. could you just put mind us who he is and what his role is? a 2019 as similar scenario to what's happening now happened back then the us decided to renounce the legitimacy of duro as no longer president back then. and they chose once again an opposition lead there in the space. it was one. why the, who the pleasure to sell in terms president of venice? well, i know mine do. this is all done this fight people's votes, back then the was even the threat and the military intervention in venezuela and the was simply did not care about the results that mean they chose

a vital is the venice on president. they were inviting him to be the official representative of vin as well, then the actual president and somehow when their plan didn't work. busy why though, they started forgetting about have the person that you recognize as a leader democratic leader in minnesota is not here. what do you think about that in? so one way though, here, by whom one way though, the days when president of venezuela, that you recognize. but i wanted to talk about who was here, who is, here is the president of the united states and has been said 4 years ago. the president did not attend. so now they have new people to try to push their interest and then as well our south america. and in this case it would be at the window, gonzalez. but we have seen this time and time again from the united states where they try to diminish other countries over into so this whole situation is not really surprising. like maybe it's in has welcome 10 russians,

including 2 children as they arrived to the home landing. what was a historic prison, that swell with western countries, the president even handing out flowers to on the do save and also her daughter off of a landed also president for the homecoming with both the chiefs of the russian for an intelligent service on the federal security service now the covenant spokes person disclose some details of the swamp, saying that the children of the adults and family didn't even know they were rushing into the plane, took off from, took a, a good word or negotiations on this complicated exchange were conducted through the f as b and c, i a line where this was the main line upon which the agreement was reached, the children of a legal intelligence agents who arrived yesterday only found out that they were russians when the plane took off from ankara. before that they did not know that they were russians,

and that they were related to our country. when those agents were in prison, their children were deprived of the opportunity to continuously see their parents. they were able to see them once in a while, but not as much as they want to. the parents were shown the children, but they did not have that opportunity all the time. that was possibly the rush or release, 16 prisoners, some of them with dual citizenship and amongst those exchange were americans. evan goods of it, you can see here and also pull whelan both so for with being convicted of espionage in russia. another prisoner was german citizen rico creek, who had been found guilty of terrorism charges in batteries. job i didn't greeting the returning americans act in appleton, maryland, and he was well as usual. so as my colleague will receive a discussed with all these states, reading the lines of

my job is to make sure we get yeah. so, so just to check, it's just what is your message to put me to an invite and says stop whatever that means. listen, so let's talk about this historic prisoners swapped out with all these steps we need. joining us in the studio here, look is massive like a lot of people involve a lot of smiling faces. but what's the reaction so far out of certain western leaders? when of course, this is the biggest prisoner exchange since the end of the cold war. uh, i must exchange between the russian federation, the united states, germany, batteries, and other nations, some 26 people involved in the extraction from 7 countries. now of course, the negotiations on the ground work that went into this would have been fairly legacy would have been very complex. but of course the united states,

what it seems to want to take so credit for bro, creating the deal. as of today, my business has brought them over. 70 americans were wrongfully detained, held hostage abroad. the president was himself personally engaged in the diplomacy, the prophets about many. since before i took office, i would say that if you had not had job, i'm sitting in the oval office. i don't think this would have happened edition. i issued an executive order in 2020 to authorize the penalties like sanctions and travel vans. and those who hold americans against their will. and honestly, guys, i can just say this was vintage joe biden, rallying america rally and american allies, to save american citizens and russian freedom fighters and doing it with intricate stay craft, pulling his whole team together. just drive this across the dinner slide as well. plenty of itself. congrats. likely box slapping praise for the role of the outgoing

you as president joe biden will find in himself. pieces up to his own for the paving until one day off from the fire. and as it landed with those freed america increases it couldn't, of course, resist taking a smart rupture, taking his wife, but form us present. donald trump, while heaping fries on nato countries, where you mention nato countries, what kind of reaction we got into the prisoner exchange for various nato. well, yes, we have had some reaction that know all happy. goodman jones, out of show, among them, and he's limited to the release of what you described as a convicted criminal. he's referring of course to a body cross. he called on the he was a child. he was sentenced to life in prison for the shooting of a checked in, but it's a check to minutes in to town some particular degrees of war crimes, including using his call to run over the heads of russian p. o w. c. the speaking about innocent people have a hold of hayden present is across the world. he was of course,

referring to the german national rico creek. he was a child who was sentenced to death off the he was quoting batteries, posting a bomb attack on the viola network. now sholtes in his speech at the airport in cologne. full. he took to the podium and praise germany's special relationship with the united states. that is not my once again, it was a special moment for me a moment that a certainly further intensified the friendship between the us in germany. the conversation i had with the american president emphasized this very much, and it was also a sign of our mutual willingness to do something based on our shared tradition as states governed by the rule of law as democracies. and also as free societies. well, the german media, perhaps predictably, well, it's going into a meltdown. it saying that this is a victory for the russian president vladimir potent. now they said that any pardon that should have been granted by own sholtes upon the,

the german justice minister. well, he forced this, paul, didn't, through the prosecutors again, they were opposed to it. so then not very happy with the situation. some criticism has also been leveled at spain for fighting to lift a finger to secure the release of the russian bone. spanish during this popular gonzales, he's been held a postage prison. and i, we, we heard from his lawyer who said, well, russia did all the running, but he went as far as to accuse spain of conspiring against him. of spain has done nothing. ablow has jewels citizenship. i don't know how well when the spanish authorities found out that 5 lo gonzales would be released. they did not contact us, and i understand they found out about it from the media. the last moment, spain participate by sending intelligence reports against public gonzalez and his lawyer. that is me. pablo is

a very resilient man and has stood up to everything he made it through. and now it remains to be seen what the consequences will be. it was an unjust imprisonment, long and hard to, you know, state we sold the russian president vladimir putin welcoming those of look of apple with hugs and smiles. flowers in the hand, shakes as well. we still put in that. but what about reaction from other russian official most good, who has struck a formal consillio, a 3, a tone that we've heard from the western countries. it's a price better roost for its role in securing the release of a prison. the prisoner that was hold up that rico krieger, of course there was no mention of batteries. his role from the west, russia has of course, praise either of those countries that were involved in the negotiations. we can hear you now some reaction from russia's photo ministry spokeswoman, literally as a how to about let's take a listen. what many have called in exchange i would call

a bashful of self control. self control of prison is self control of political sorts. his self control of special services by all accounts was of the best. perhaps it is also a question of face and hope that the people in this state are behind you. and today's history has once again sandy's face and hope into the knowledge that we don't abandon our room. now, there's been some talk about flooring of relations between russia and the west. uh we, i'm sure we wouldn't have seen a prisoner exchange of such magnitude, not even one. do you ever go and i went to put it in? it's joe political context, of course, is the conflict in garza, the fiasco over the bite and tendency in the presidential elections of the united states. the change of government in britain, russia continues to advance on the battlefield. we've seen this is changing tone from key. i've now now talking about possible peace negotiations with russia. so these are very small steps at this stage,

but hopefully i move in the right direction, the well, the middle east and nation if qu h, has denied that the us conduct stated, wrote an attack from its territory to strike hezbollah aligned group in nearby iraq . the general stuff of firms that it has not and will not permit the use or violation of its aerospace or territory to launch regression against any of our neighbors or friendly countries. on previously, the military inquiry type has the law set, the u. s. news b ali al sullen base in create too low and strong and attacks on the bible province, which is science of 5 dad. neighbor or more toner rock awaits, allows us forces to maintain bases on its territories. and one of the most important is, comes out of john, which is described as being critical for us, for the 2 options in the middle east. but let's get

more on this story now across live to father. i'll have shame, who's a political journalist on research, and joining us from 28, thanks very much for being here and not to international. uh, 1st of all, you could, i just get your reaction to the fact that to wait to saying its territory has not been on will not be used for a tax on neighboring country. is that true or yes, it's very true actually. um, i would like to say something 1st of where the oh and i you saw the news. i went that to the website up to, to 1st of all like to type the also should website and i've seen the, the official statements. and then i went there and i will go to the, the trying to understand the location. where is it located? exactly. the jessica suffer, which is where was attacked by george. uh it, it shows it was declared to be that it is actually far away from either side of air base us. it's around 6 hours to buy a car and 2 hours and 30 minutes by

a plane from kuwait. and the 1st question that rose to my head is why would the american us base in kuwait attack the station from us from a, from an air base that it is far further away from its original from other and us everybody's that are located in europe? correct? that was my 1st quick question in my 1st comments. the 2nd thing is that coates has always to reinforce the idea on foot and publicly and promoted. that despite having 100 percent political and military agreements with the united states is that the united states should never reach these agreements and attack or use the americans degrades the land behind their back. but the concept of responses from a doctor and from the not from quite clearly shows that the united states has a, it's happened truly has used the, has the,

achieve this objective without the knowledge of the weights. and of course, it's important to note that some objective skin beads can be told in meetings, if the magic meetings, but to, to identify in details what the, what the details or what the objectives might be. that's the problem. and that this never happened was that was sure it was ever shared. however, for the past months, if we go to the equity army as social media towers and me so as we follow what there have been doing there, i've been doing a lot of training and so observing and as training there are, there are be trying to consult and hold workshops to defend that, to defend the curriculums from any possible control and attacks. so just might also give us another one, a better understanding of why which creates both such workshops right now and today . so of course quit is in a very do politically speaking in a very and a bit of work because like they say in a very sensitive situation,

you have on the other stupid not on one side, points for them to come to positions projecting. and the palestinians, and quade standing on something and projecting get the right to find a sense exist i know, and, and supporting diploma, simian globally. and working on a humanitarian age for the palestinians and speaking on behalf of palestine and the security council and the international court, on the other hand truck weights the measurements, relationship with united states that the old enough as, as the been very old. i mean, it's been down since the invasion of iraq. it's a great, that's where the united states has become a digital and i know the powerful ally to try to states just to deploy a storage. so if you, if you, if you see the difference of directions which is obligated to work these differences and to manage their relationship with, i'm sick and then the same time and manage their opinions and their stroke staff on monday. is there any lee from us to be in conflict? oh i but eco,

so that's great statement is award made to the united states. that's personally what i will believe. it's a direct public war, means united states ought to use the antiquity labs and for i'm just going to jump to the why do you think it is that this has below a line degree in a rock is claiming that the us used to ac tire shape what would be the reason behind that? a personally speaking i, i genuinely believe back if it was true. i'm not saying that they're like, i'm just saying that it's probably, uh, it's actually happened. that means that coates, of the, the, the rocky, i'm up to, i've left a dock in great from the other on the punch every, there are actually making an awareness. and now making points aware of the dangers of interfering cards. being part of this of this attack, which is why the states i believe is beneficial for, for rates,

for boys government to actually publicly with fairfax. it's will never, ever allow for any foreign force to be used. so you as the point you to that, um for military objectives and i do get that to the objective has been met with immediately responded on this and the same day. saying that the if for any of course, for any of reasons or any problems in the future, we would like to say that this will never happen, and we deny these aggravations. but i do believe that there is a danger because the united states has continuously tried poor subject before to take advantage of their friendship at the end. and the lions united with the, with the wage they have tried before to use the u. s. military base equates for their own interest, but i do believe that's quite government is really strong about their own convictions about their position to, to, to never allow with united states to do that. actually this is the 1st time. the

2nd type it happens is, was by the will be a, do any of you will be a union has a tax, great and last year before the war because quite has made uh executions on 7 or 8 according to criminals, for different crimes. and the european union has refused to open the ticket area for going to sort of unless they drop all the charges and cancel the execution law . and the constitution, there are, there have been a lot of violations from europe and united states. so i was only all running out of time. i thank you very much for being with us here with on to international as far as i'm showing as a political jelly, i'm a research of from 8 to 8, much appreciated. thank you. well, a slip of the oh, the sip of a mosque that have been some red faces on capitol hill. this is office said that it was talking about how the us needs to focus on africa is, is valuable resources,

listen to this. how can we help foster the public private partnerships, bring american capital and expertise in standards to africa so that we can keep by exploiting so that we can uh, a exploring where we can get these metals. when the forwarding slip came during a foreign relations committee hearing with sentences, we're discussing, china is policy around the globe and stating the beijing who uses a g political challenge which confronts american diplomacy. the will. busy 2 of us and this is also paying attention to china, is rising role in africa expressing concerns beijing may be wanting to monopolize its rad materials. we have to contest chinese actions not only in terms of their ford basing strategy,

but their desire to go after africa's river. it's that will be critical for our industrial and technological capabilities. but let's get some thoughts on this side of costs to the founder and editor. of the news that the behind the news do you have a longer thanks for joining us all to international. i just wanna ask you exploits or explore which one do you think it is that the americans meant when they have their intentions towards africa is plentiful results is um. uh, good things to of to us. we say he's a tall, slack of clothing on the list. it was like pulling at least if you, the coloring at least. so what you said there, it's was, they've been doing it. there was no mistake. you know, um the expectation of african, i'm seeing that the dispute lunch is different. the efforts in ensuring that after

they've gotten me into bed for the holiday during bets, that kind of does, that's a pretty dot seem to be outside the, in some of the countries pro western and the latest. so for him to say something like there is because i actually got was due to of getting people waiting to be able to say that if the lot has investments in the police, because he does not pushing the agenda enough to get a ticket or that's from washington dc. yes, that is because he gets the confidence in knowing exactly that the it took you to the doctor the got i finally see, you can see how to find directions. you can see how they always pull the idea that you can see the things that they're doing and obviously got really i sat inside of the influence yet because i need to be one. i'm showing the joe, i just want to ask you this entire hearing was actually dedicated to join us for

a policy in africa. why is washington so concerned about beijing's interests in the region? this is the difference with child in america, china, we're lucky with the bass case with money in but they walk in with the machine. got so this does it use different day and the 16th that timeout is using in, instead of wasting in getting in to speak to a sentence it had to state is different from how people pay in the us are right. so, and they seem to get those all the time. do you feel like you asked them as a global estate? so of the guys becoming the bedrooms around the hall for but the difference is dreadful. i time i would walk in and with this case bed of money and then the other guys would look good with the machine gun. so that is the difference

. if time i want to do the same thing, what is the experience and weakness or something that would affect the payments in, in, in delano so washington would never be comfortable in any area out way china is doing well, because that is the author. right? so to say, we're almost out of time, 20 seconds. do you think it is up to africa to decide whether where it sells it's minerals m e s pots? yes, as no, as i indicated, but also tends to dictate to what should be happening. but the danger is the kind of jesus is the kind of the heated that the, the left into the police god positions whereby the outside influence can come to the funding of these for these kind of parties where i have to talk. thank you very much for joining us. how to international joe bellanca found done as
