and five latin american nations that head of the meeting with her over save the plan titled montevideo mechanism which he says he backs. i ratified the circle to the full stage of the montevideo is mechanism integrated by the government of mexico fourteen countries of the caribbean and i believe you are proposing. to participate in a process of sovereign prosecution dialogue to look for a national agenda up agreements and understanding. or is live for us in montevideo where the meeting is taking place again are we kind of gave a broad overview of what this group is but tell us more about them and what they're hoping to achieve. or this is a group of you as you mentioned eight countries in the european union seven of which will recognize the self declared president. as the president of venezuela italy still not declared and five countries in latin america including bolivia which continues to support president nicolas maduro the two countries you require and mexico which should remain neutral on this to represent the broad spread spectrum of opinions over a way out of the crisis in venez

way it's fairly straightforward what they want to see is nicolas maduro move to one side but in montevideo you've got a group of the e.u. and latin american leaders meeting and they're saying let's not be rash let's get these two sides to the negotiating table so you've got two very different approaches from world leaders on how to solve the crisis in venezuela meanwhile millions of people are suffering but the u.s. stance here is pretty clear they are backing one guy joe as on many of the countries i think the list is now grown to more than forty they want to see nicolas maduro step to one side but some of the leaders particularly european leaders and latin american leaders. saying let's take this step by step but perhaps try and get both sides the negotiating table but ultimately all the sides want to see the people of venezuela not suffer or continue to suffer and they want to see democracy restored in venezuela out as there is and gallagher there from washington thank you randi well as andy just mentioned a new e.u. backed organization and finding a solution to the crisis will send a t

those close to nicolas maduro from traveling increasing the political pressure and meanwhile in montevideo you've got european and latin american leaders really noting more of a cautious approach to this saying that they perhaps should be too many rash decisions taken at this point but they would like to see both sides in venezuela get to the negotiating table and try and start some kind of democratic elections meanwhile you've got aid moving towards the venezuelan border that is not being let in by the venezuelan military meanwhile of the center of all this is a massive humanitarian crisis that clearly there is a great deal of desire across the world to see the situation resolved to see democracy restored in venezuela but you've got very different approaches between the leaders in montevideo and the u.s. government and the trumpet ministration in particular they're making no bones about this they want to see nicolas maduro gone as soon as possible they want that to be a peaceful transition and increasingly ever since one glider has declared himself interim president his support of course

just here but this is from the european union and latin america a meeting in europe wise capital montevideo attempting to find a solution to the political standoff in venezuela the committee to protect journalists is calling for a strong response from the us government and donald trump to saudi arabia over the murder of jamal khashoggi. and one of the largest aid convoy since the start of syria's war has reached the remote rock band refugee camp on the border with jordan home to forty thousand syrian refugees. the u.s. president is predicting victory over eisel as early as next week donald trump told coalition partners at a meeting in washington that there will be a formal announcement very soon he says coalition forces have quote liberated virtually all of the territory previously held by eisel in syria and iraq but some u.s. military officials say thousands of us will fight as remain in syria and they could be a reserve one trip once troops are withdrawn from mosul in iraq was once the capital of isis self declared caliphate it was taken over in twenty fourteen and was a fierce battle gro

in montevideo there hopefully we'll hear more from those leaders in that content group a little later on let's move to. the border between colombia and venezuela yes he is that it's taken through well the real situation on the ground there on the aids which the venezuelans want to come in is there any sign of it yes. well we know that the first group. there. are roughly two or three hours away from the bridge that you see behind me. which will be the main collection point or a and also the u.s. embassy has been announced that there will be a press conference on friday where journalists will be given access that you find out exactly what these trucks are bringing here and hopefully. the plan on how to really try to cross over into these overall we know that there are four trucks that have been loaded in the capital of . the last couple on their way here we are looking roughly one hundred. eight and there are. information so far on what exactly these trucks are bringing. food or a mix of the two things or the dire need that venezuelans have in the country the leader of the opposition. a

press that it will prevent elections you know cordons with a minister or a strong words here in montevideo designed to reach the ears of the two main protagonists in venezuela itself the president nicolas maduro and the self declared interim president one white all poles apart politically with very little inclination to talk to one another here they know that although they have issued strong words that they are united they have holes but very little chance of success well antonia mora is editor in chief of news a news dot com and he also specializes in venezuelan politics he joins us now on skype from miami and when you were watching as these tensions escalate what happens now. of course that's the big question is whether there will be any kind of confrontation at the border with madeira you know shutting down the main highway from colombia into that as well or from google to the largest border city and in colombia to bring that aid into the country i don't know how far the united states is going to take that out for international organizations are going to take it whether they'll get to t

or of his down in montevideo with the talks are taking place. any word yet there they've been meeting for what three hours or so no. coming up for four hours now i mean we're in the press center now awaiting the arrival of some of the delegates should be here any minute now there's going to keen sense of expectation here i mean these thirteen representatives thirteen delegations represent very disparate views seven of the eight european union countries supporting the interim president on white all countries in latin america and specifically bolivia still giving their support to legalism a dawdle while europe y. and mexico are very neutral on this hoping they can bring these disparate disparate views together to come to some kind of agreement about the way forward what will be much much harder will will be whether that agreement which will put to the united nations will then be acceptable to the two very polarized views in venezuela itself as you mentioned because my daughter has said he does support the talks. right though has said that that is

still are not done in montevideo where the newly formed international contact group of e.u. and latin american countries is meeting about what that weather hoping to achieve here. well they're hoping that because they represent to boards a broad spectrum of opinions over the venezuela crisis that they will be able to reach some kind of come up with some going to plan except of all to both sides in what is a very polarized situation seven of the eight european union countries are here have already expressed their support for why all of the latin american nations bolivia is very firmly behind nicolas maduro and both you require mexico have said that they're neutral in the they have a neutral stance in the situation so they're hoping that by representing up or broad spectrum of views they can come up with this plan which will call for peaceful dialogue. and election new elections which will provide a fresh mandate for whoever emerges from that situation behind me we have a few. demonstrators their biggest concern is that they're worried about the u.s. interference a possible u.

representatives from the european union and latin america meeting in europe wise capital montevideo trying to find a solution to the political standoff in venezuela they've offered president nicolas maduro a plan called they want of a day a mechanism aimed at creating conditions for free transparent and credible elections within ninety days and who are says he supports dialogue as long as it doesn't threaten his nation's sovereignty. iraq if he could. i consent to the plan that the montevideo mechanism is proposing supported by mexico you require countries in the caribbean and bolivia we are ready to participate in a process of sovereign and constitutional dialog to look for a national agenda of agreements peace and understanding. still ahead on al-jazeera . virginia after three of the state's top elected officials are engulfed in scandals or than democrats. dangerous rumblings of a crime. and the threat it poses to millions of people.

mission well we understand these european in latin american leaders that came together today in montevideo in europe why they called for an international initiative and for that it's a way let this initiative is that what you're looking for you're looking for that initiative to be the one that's going to get this border open. no i think it's a different issue to the united states with colombia organize a different approach basically trying to force your might there you. know now that that's not going to happen easily and you're being union on the other hand and the international partners that are president montevideo uruguay they're looking for a more negotiated approach. which is not right in the face of saying it's right in the border they want to have more. security about humanitarian aid and. dialogue with effective israeli government ok so we've got two approaches they are in the process all the while the people of venezuela are still waiting for food and medicine journalist from a bus joining us tonight on the phone from the venezuelan border with colombia thank you. well now to sout

and latin american ministers meeting in europe wise capital montevideo but what chance of a breakthrough this political standoff has been going on for a month already that was ever since president nicolas maduro was sworn in for a second term two weeks later the opposition leader aung declared himself to be the interim leader why don't calls madeira a dictator accuses him of wrecking the economy the government describes why though as a us puppet so as you can see findings the middle ground is going to be difficult for these leaders meeting in europe why all this playing out of course while the venezuelan people are becoming increasingly desperate inflation is hitting ten million percent there is a dire need for food and medicine we're going to look at that humanitarian crisis a little later but let's start with daniel schorr he is at the talks in montevideo talk us through first of all who is actually coming. well the delegates from eighty european union countries five countries around latin america they've arrived at this building behind me where you can probably see a few pro dickless
