thank you, sir. >> sandra: meanwhile, former secretary j. johnsonarings defending the obama's administration's 2016 election interference. >> we were beating the drum pretty hard beginning with a conference call i had with every state secretary -- secretary of state on august 15. the good news is by election day, 33 states actually came in and sought our cyber security assistance and 36 cities and countieses came in and sought our cyber security assistance in the time permit. clearly, senator, as we look back on the experience two years later and we have a clearer picture of the full extent of what the russian government was doing, there could have been additional efforts made but i'm satisfied at the time this was a front-burner issue for me. >> sandra: responding to election interference saying it was a front-burner issue for them. >> bill: and we know, and it's been said repeatedly, no votes were changed as a result of this. we emphasize that for the integrity of our own democratic system it's important to keep in mind they may have tried, and wi

information by a story says in venezuela ok sandra we'll leave it there thank you for giving us that update to all now speak to phil johnson he's a senior analyst at the international crisis group is joining us via skype from caracas of venezuela's the capital just to pick up on what other sondra was saying about no official comment from the government nor anything said by the venezuelan prison minister are you surprised by the silence you know so it's pretty much the cause in venice where we think the latest numbers to call a major part of the mass exodus president will do a change of power in two thousand and thirteen and all the paper is going to cater to the silence of the government putin as regards those responsible the figure here a truly appalling are we talking the years maybe of a few people dead as your correspondent said absolutely no good government what do you put the silence down to. it's a cover up i mean they have no interest there are no independent institutions in venezuela but no one is interested. in me or at least assigning blame the true picture is that this is all to do with extreme prison overcrowd
