venezuela was ready for any tsunami. then i believe we can discuss it and the other natural resources that you have mentioned such as get us gold diamonds i'd like to ask you what role did oil play in the political and economic crisis in venezuela. fundamentally one take the example of chile when richard nixon henry kissinger said actually in the community should get it all it is a very tragic example it is still seen as tragic today even though it happened a long time ago back then the copper price was crushed down and that was a primary source of foreign currency. the same thing happened to venezuela another country needs the struggle for control of the oil has been going for decades in venezuela the first coup was staged by transnational economists back in one thousand who wait they controlled the oil sector for many years until the revolution happened in one thousand nine hundred this struggle you'll never stop the next fifty years will remain a primary source of energy for the world that's the structure of the globa

what is happening in venezuela is a self coup. the government of venezuela is taking over the entire government, eliminating the possibility of democracy in that country and, actually, many countries already — i am very happy to hear that the european union, the government of spain, the governments of peru, colombia, panama, chile, the unite states and others have said they will not recognise this sham election. —— united states. it is completely fraudulent and what i hope the us will do is cut off the flow of funds to the autocracy that has been running venezuela into the ground for the last 18 years. you have served under president george w bush in 2001. do you think donald trump will do that in 2017? i would hope so. he said he would. 0n the 17th ofjuly this month, president trump said that if maduro went through with this effort to completely turn venezuela into a dictatorship through this fraudulent constituent assembly, that the us would impose swift and heavy economic sanctions. and i would hope that he would. there w

we begin with venezuela. it's called protesters, destroyed the nation's economy is also rich in farmland. the regime's criminal networks are getting exposed. we see the government not just a dictatorship but a criminal enterprise. the treasury department that the sanctions against venezuela on the 13th of february this year naming him a specially designated narcotics trafficker under the kingpin act playing a narcotics trafficking. a federal court and his cousin for conspiring to ship cocaine. officials said the former president of the assembly was the head of the drug cartel. colombia we see growing concerns in the implementation of the agreement. many remain unaccounted for and too many are joining groups and continue to profit on illegal war narcotics trafficking. the relationship must continue. between fiscal year 2000 the congress appropriated more than $10 billion under plan colombia. peace in colombia cannot come at any cost. members have committed atrocities must be held accountable by the judicial sy

so we have a few on venezuela. one question which i think -- i think is pretty easy to answer which is venezuela's the center of criminal activity. do you agree that this and issues lierk human rights make it a good subject for bipartisan action notice u.s.? and i would be surprised if anyone disagreed with that. >> i think that's an important part of this discussion. >> it's an important point, right. >> is that there is a strong bipartisan consensus on this. the letter on jose luis and saying he should be investigated and sanctioned was initiated by elliot evening will's staff cosigned by jeff duncan and it was a seven democrats, seven republicans. the venezuelan legislation that talks about or the criminal at in the regime on the senate side was an initiative of ben cardin cosponsored by marco rubio. so this is an area think about washington today, this is an area where you have people who -- on capitol hill who have gotten smart about this issue, they got engaged in the issue and that work across party lines wi

against venezuela. think that is the greatest danger going forward is that this really could escalate -- you remember the civil war's of the 1980's and central america. hundreds of people were killed. civil war in colombia, which is coming to an end now through the agreement from last year. this could really get -- spin out of control. juan: i would like to follow that point up if i can with daniel lansberg-rodriguez. the issue of the polarization of venezuelan society, especially of the role of the military. because if it is one thing that is achavez did leave legacy, it was as military that prettmuch defended the bull a very and revolution. olivarian revolution. even if the maduro government seems to lose support them in seems it would be silently olivarian unless some kinds of negotiations are reached. i'm wondering your thoughts on that. >> that is the one million question, which would be about $200 at the current exchange rate. essentially -- before i answer that, there are couple of directions --

welcome to venezuela. once the richestjewel in latin america, it is now a country drowning in political and economic chaos. a state with the largest oil reserves in the world is now so impoverished that it cannot feed its own people. translation: even if i die, it's worth it. how long is this going to go on for? we are a hungry country. as his people rage, president nicolas maduro‘s grip on power has grown increasingly desperate. all opposition is being systematically crushed. it is feared a new constitution will extinguish democracy and establish a dictatorship. as the battle for venezuelan democracy reaches boiling point, the bbc has heard disturbing allegations of state torture against demonstrators. several officers there are told us, "we are going to give you the shock treatment." for venezuela ns, long accustomed to economic hardship, the assault on their democracy is proving the final straw. i have been to caracas, to meet the resistance of the maduro regime and find out what future lies in store

not stand by as venezuela crumbles. president trump now threatening to impose sanctions on venezuela as the nation's president follows through on his pledge to rewrite the nation's constitution. cnn's lleila joins us now. he still insists he's going to move forward with it. what exactly is president trump now threatening to do, and what's been the reaction? >> reporter: well, exactly what president trump is considering remains unclear, but what is clear today is that this has become sort of this back and forth between president trump and venezuela. venezuela's foreign minister, not too long ago, calling president trump's statements racist and xenophobic threats from a xenophobic empire and i want to read you a little more of the statement that came out, the foreign minister saying the thin democratic veil of the venezuelan opposition has fallen and reveals the brutal

it's not venezuela or cuba. still have a free and fair election and they'll decide inti new leadership and i'll be debated. our hope is that were prepared to work with whoever and it should because it's important relationship. avidly, that's a question that will be answered in the upcoming election. i hope that it remains suspected and it's in the best interest of mexico and the united states. >> one of the concerns going back to columbia is whether the colombian government would have sufficient resources to take on the so-called diffidence of criminal organizations that have not taken advantage of the peace process but are going to continue their criminality. do we need to think about shifting us support to the us security side of things more than the economic and social side. >> in columbia? >> in columbia. >> are interrelated. it's hard to have economic growth without security. they won't invest capital where they feel threatened or where the laws don't apply. terrorism won't grow and people won't visit peopl

the trump administration has called on venezuela's maduro regime to respect venezuela's constitution, respect the role and authorities of the constitutionally established national assembly, hold free and fair elections, address the humanitarian needs of the venezuelan people, release political prisoners and stop oppressing its great people. the regime has renewed to heed this call and recent actions culminating in yesterday's outrageous seizure of absolute power through the sham election of the national constituent assembly represent a very serious blow to democracy in our hemisphere. maduro is not just a bad leader, he is now a dictator. the united states stands with the people of venezuela in the face of this oppression. we will work with our partners to hold accountable all of those responsible for the escalating violence and ongoing human rights violations. the president promised strong and swift actions if the regime went forward with imposing the national constituent assembly on the venezuelan people. he will keep that promise. secretary mnuchin. >> thank you, general. today the

this has been an election unlike any other in venezuela. the controversial vote was met by widespread demonstrations and became the bloodiest day in months of violent street protests. with the opposition boycotting the process, the government was always going to claim victory. nevertheless, in some neighbourhoods, there appeared to be little enthusiasm and low turnout for the vote. in years past in vote under orders, queues would spread around the block but on this occasion, the interest seems a little more subdued as many are concerned about what it may mean for the future of venezuela. translation: government loyalists like this local candidate insisted the process was legitimate. calling a new assembly the will of the people. but it is not the will of these people. young protesters have spent weeks engaged in civil disobedience. schools have died. even as the votes were being cast and counted, they vowed to remain on the streets. translation: and counted, they vowed to remain on the streets. translationzli and counted, they vowed to rema
