as we read reports of peaceful venezuelan protesters killed or wounded, we repeat insistence that venezuelan security forces show restraint. i want to be 100% clear. president trump and i fully expect that our diplomats will continue to receive protections under the geneva convention. -- i think the unit convention. vienna convention. do not test the united states' resolve to protect our own people. we hope the international community will support the venezuelan people and the transitional government led by juan guaido. he made the declaration with the full support of the national assembly and the venezuelan people. our nations must stand up for the rule of law and support the leader that the venezuelan people have affirmed as their legitimate interim president. we hope fair elections happen as soon as possible. in 1961 president kennedy spoke in caracas, "we will be partners in building a better life for our people." america's ambition has not changed. we stand with the venezuelan people as they stand to build a better life for themselves, and cannot ignore the suffering in this proud natio

all of this in an environment where the venezuelan press was smuggled and venezuelans lost the right to information. challenges the evaluation the comparison. figures from the world spanking most the domestic product has dropped by more than 35% since 2013. the imf predicts a significant worsening of the venezuelan inflation with a rate estimated at one point 3,000,000% by 2018. the world bank estimates venezuelan national reserves to be at the order of 9 billion and the foreign debt could reach 140 billion, three times higher than 2017. and it is fundamental that we understand in the security council exactly what we are dealing with. venezuelan people have not only been squashed by dictatorship. they have been held under a regime with links to organized crime, to drug trafficking, to money laundering, and to other organizations. risks tonation brought venezuela with a consequence of risk to decent security. we have an obligation for the restoration of democracy than the rule of law in venezuela so that venezuelans can forge a new path. as you understand, this does not happen without

it is accustomed to venezuelan tourists. no they are receiving them as refugees. 5000 people are leaving daily. that amounts to 200 people per hour. forhe end of this him, 200 -- five and of this f -- by the end of this forum, haveore venezuelans will left. we want to be a country where there are job opportunities, entrepreneurial opportunities. the reason venezuelans are leaving is, firstly, the humanitarian crisis created by the dictatorship with the created.f fear that is second, gentle violence, where more than 3300 venezuelans have been murdered in the last few years when it has one of the highest homicide rates in the region with more than 70 per 100,000. in terms of human rights, there are some of us who are exiled here. we hold different responsibilities, but we are here because we were threatened and persecuted. we've got people in the prison. several deputies are in exile, was mentioned. many of us have been removed 200 soldiersnd have been tortured arbitrarily. >there is also fear, and that is why people leave. we

that is the venezuelan revolution. democratizing our society, the human rights in venezuela, that is what we're trying to do, using the wealth of the oil and the other natural resources to invest it in the people, for the people, as abraham lincoln said. that is our goal.l. but because e those resources ae not from the u.s. enough or other interests in the world, they are trying to overthrow president chavez and the president maduro. they will continue. president maduro would like to have a conversation with president trump. and it will probably solve some issues because i am sure if they were to talk and see each other in the eyes, they would see they can coexist and they can fulfill some agreements between them. i have not been able to have a meeting, not with pompeo who is like a minister of foreign affairs, no? with no one in the state department. they don't want to have dialogue with the venezuelan authorities. that is uncivilized. amy: final question, this is about the international criminal court. september sept

he warned citgo is the property of the venezuelan state. and he further said we are the only ones who can decide its fate. what is your response to mr. maduro? secretary mnuchin: the property of the venezuelan people and the proper and rightful leaders of the country. so we agree with that. he's not the proper leader of the country at this time. i said these are valuable assets that we are protecting for the benefit of the venezuelan people. reporter: on the question about the impact of the market. what will american drivers seem to know about the price of the pump if at all? secretary mnuchin: there has been a big reduction in the overall price of oil. and particularly since we instituted the iran sanctions, i think you know we've been very careful in making sure these costs don't impact the american consumer. gas prices are almost as low as they've been in a very long period of time. these refineries impact a specific part of the country, and i think as you said, we're very comfortable that they have enough supply that we don't expect any

the venezuelan situation is the origin of something like three million venezuelans fleeing the country and are now in colombia, ecuador, peru, chile, panama, aruba, curasao and brazil. there are venezuelans everywhere in the world, but mainly these countries, and importantly the amount of people we are speaking about make the problem more of a -- more than a venezuela problem. it is a regional crisis. that's why the united nations security council for the first time last saturday addressed the problem with venezuela. there was no result of this meeting, because as you know, russia and china have veto power. the thing the u.s. accepted to discuss in the security council to discuss the problem of venezuela is because it is a threat against the world peace and regional stability. that is very important. guaido is opening all channels to humanitarian aid and the second main activity, second main priority he has is to have free rule, to elections run by an impartial electoral authority as soon as possible in order to have transparent and reliable results. it's not very easy because the cons

of cure ra saw is made up of venezuelans. these were countries that were custom to venezuelan tourists now they're receiving them as refugees. so 5 million people -- or 5,000 people are leaving daily, that amounts to 200 people per hour. so by the end of this forum 200 more venezuelans will have left during the time we were speaking. the best way to solve this migrant and refugee crisis is for venezuela to fully restore democracy, regain its freedoms, have the rule of law and safety and be a country where there are job opportunities, entrepreneurial opportunities. the reason venezuelans are leaving is firstly the humanitarian crisis created by the dictatorship, with the climate of fear that is created. second, general violence where more than 3,300 venezuelans have been murdered in the last few years when it has one of the highest homicide rates in the region with more than 70 per 100,000. in terms of human rights, there are some of us who are exiled here, we hold different responsibilities, but we are here because we were th

so this is the heart of the well-being of the venezuelan people. which is first and foremost an important. the second is major power by competition, a new era of major power competition plays out as well as we all know. the third is us purpose and role in the world which we are also seeing applied in this kind of situation alongside our friends and allies the labor group and the latinamerican in particular but also europe and elsewhere in the free world . the last is the future of the global system and i would say regional order as well , canada applies itself in these issues and we take a look at the issue and it applies here as well which is how modern technologies that all. can they be used by democracies to liberate people and unleash the capabilities of people or will they be used autocracy to control? i'm going to leave it to jason morse act, the remarkable director of the ours latin american center to acknowledge the important event and individuals in the audience and get things going. for my part i want to thank chairman royce were being he

now we get the venezuelan side of the story, and i am joined by francisco sucrate, a member of the venezuelan national assembly and supporter of juan guaido. in fact, tomorrow, he is off to brussels to get to eu to formally recognize guaido as interim venezuelan president. francisco sucre, welcome from the grid. you heard -- >> thank you. thank you for this interview, the possibility, uh huh. >> no, it's okay. i interrupted you, but you heard senator bob menendez, a powerful member of the united states senate, fully backing your president, certainly the president of the national assembly, juan guaido. we were talking about you trying to get more recognition for him. what are you going to be doing in brussels tomorrow? >> yes. at this point, already more than 25 countries has recognized mr. guaido as the president of venezuela, the interim president. we hope that the european union is going to do the same. already germany, spain, france, many countries of the european union have said that juan guaido is the president. we have to remember the reason of this crisis. the problem was the election

secretary of state is no longer in the chamber he walked away way before the venezuelan foreign minister started speaking he held a brief news conference outside and left the united nations while the security council is still in session we then heard from the venezuelan foreign minister who was alarmed by special agreement to speak before the council venezuela obviously not being a member of the security council he used the opportunity as a show and tell of years hundreds of years of u.s. intervention in latin america then we saw a response from the u.s. representative stayed behind now that turns out it was elliot abrahams he's just been appointed a few days ago by mike pompei or to be the point person on the venezuelan issue eliot abrahams a very colorful history in latin america ever could be described as such are seen very much as very hawkish once again the there is a rather than foreign minister asked for the right to respond and brought up this particular fact saying elliott abrams very much seen as a hawk in latin america with a very well he's only had to start in there because t

venezuelan supreme court freezes opposition leader assets and bans him from leaving the country that comes right after washington sanction the state oil giant and handed control over venezuela's u.s. based accounts will continue to use all of our diplomatic and economic tools to support interim president quite oh. human rights watch releases a report documenting dozens of cases of terrorists torturing civilians in northern syria. we have documented eleven cases in which. residents there because they were either documenting confuses by testing to see if we have documented. minors. check out our to dot com for more on the latest headlines coming up the panel on cross talked abates of the crisis in venezuela stay with. hello and welcome to cross talk we're all paying for considered i'm peter lavelle attempted to force regime change in venezuela brought to you by trumpets ministration washington's gross interference in the internal affairs of this latin american country is risky illegal and the possibility of large scale violence is very real one thing is certain the people of venezuela

we think every country ought to recognize the venezuelan constitution and the demands of the venezuelan people. whether mexico, uruguay, or any country, we can ultimately have a free and fair election in venezuela where the voices of the venezuelan people who under the maduro regime have been starved, an enormous medical and humanitarian situation. in colombia, over a million refugees have fled the horrors of the maduro regime. we think every country should take steps to achieve that and not side with this cruel dictator in venezuela who has devastation.h tha mr. secretary, a lot of people are concerned about the diplomats who were down there. would you tell us what you are prepared to do if tomorrow when a 72 hour deadline passes, say the venezuelans cut up electricity and water, or tried to go into the building to bring out the diplomats by force. would you be specific about what you intend to do in the event of any of these scenarios, and how can you assure people they are protected? sec. pompeo: there has been no activity that has taken more time over the past days that ensuring the

but effective immediately, any purchases of venezuelan oil by u.s. entities, money will have to go into blocked accounts. now, i have been in touch with many of the refineries. there is a significant amount of oil that's at sea that's already been paid for. that oil will continue to come to the united states. if the people of venezuela want to continue to sell us oil, as long as that money goes into blocked accounts, we will continue to take it. otherwise we will not be buying it. we have issued general licenses so the refineries in the united states can continue to operate. i expect in the short term modest impacts on the refineries. we have been working closely with them on these issues. reporter: can you walk them through what's going to happen in advance or are they hearing about this for the first time? >> they are hearing about this now but i generally say we have obviously, we made a press release recently. i think we have indicated certain things. we had not disclosed to anybody these sanctions in advance. but i think a lot of people have bee

this is what is being done against the venezuelan people. the representative of russia was quite clear. there's no such thing as -- here's no blockade, they said. there have been 18 rounds of sanctions but there's no block cailed. we really need to think of this as a true ideological wall being put up against venezuela. as upport the guide lorks was proposed earlier by the dominican republic. from scratch. i was appointed in august as foreign minister and -- last year and two days later, i met in the house of miguel vargas nd then two days later was medina and i tried to get in touch with the opposition. i tried to bring together opposition and president maduro and what happened? we reached an agreement. there's a document in some arpkive of the presidents to have dominican republic where there was a relimb their agreement and when we were supposed to go find the reagreement, president maduro and the former president were made to look like fools and they were supporters of -- and they didn't sign the -- and strangely enough, rex tillerson wa

warfare campaign and the sanctions imposed by the united states but i would say overall majority of venezuelans reject international interference in their internal affairs and certainly you know trump is seen as he is seen around the world as the sort of . emblematic figure of what the u.s. capitol this class looks like someone who despite his rhetoric on not intervening in the affairs of other nations has clearly shown through his so called america first policy that america crush others first and when we bring back into the course the likes of john bolton you know are salivating a war hawk and others such as elliott abrams is a convicted war criminal obviously to oversee an operation of regime change in venezuela there's a lot of concern over where this is going now there are those venezuelans in the opposition camp that have been calling not only for the sanctions to be imposed against their own country despite the impact that it's having on ordinary venezuelan people but also for u.s. intervention including some of been calling directly for military intervention some people may see that thei

being done against the venezuelan people. they represent to russia was quite clear and honest but the other side. you know there's no such thing is. there's no blockade they said. it's been eight hundred one thousand rounds of sanctions but there's no blockade. we really need to think of this that there is a true ideological. wall being put up against venezuela we support the dialogue as was was proposed earlier by the dominican republic and didn't come from. from scratch i was appointed in august as foreign minister in two days last year two days later i met in the house of may get about a guess and then two days. later with daniel medina and i tried to get in touch with the opposition that tried to i tried to bring together the opposition to and president my daughter and what happened we reached an agreement where there is a document there's a document that is in some are. the presidency of the dominican republic where there was a preliminary agreement and when we were supposed to go and sign the agreement the . president.

we want the venezuelan people to have their say and so. the russians have chosen to support the material regime i hope they'll change their way i hope they will come to see that the rightful. people to run this country are those that the venezuelan people chose and so we'll have conversations with every country including the russians we talk with the chinese will talk with everyone we think the whole world ought to get behind what it is that the venezuelan people have demanded for their country. thank you all. right. so that was the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei was speaking at the united nations while at the same time inside the security council an emergency meeting there it is taking place right now addressing the crisis in venezuela my pompei i did address the council a little earlier on as well mike hanna is following events joining us from the united nations so second time we hear michael peo speak is speaking is really laying out the u.s. its case as to why they support why do and trying to get the international community to ba

as has the venezuelan oligarchy. in fact, not longg after the which wased coup backed by the u.s., the rich of venezuela went on a capital strike. they purposely shut down their businesses and it had a huge impact. they succeeded in shaving something like 27% off the grocer mastech product of venezuela -- gross domestic product of venezuela which is astonishing and catastrophic in a short time. even that failed to topple chavez. in the conditions we have today where maduro does not have near the popular support that chavez did it where he has really been running the country into the ground and using the fact that the u.s. is trying to undermine the government as a universal excuse for everything, for his own incompetence and corruption and brutality against protesters in the streets. 's government, the maduro government is in a rather weak that theand it appears population is becoming rather divided. for years the opposition in kind of awas classical rightist latin american force with the rich, ,he very rich, the oli

or is it about venezuelan oil. from the perspective of the u.s. ok so this is one of the oldest tropes from back when chavez came to power in the first place so what is the role of oil in venezuela and really for the i was there was a fulbright scholar for two years and i've been back many times and through all the various confrontations it was impossible to see how the u.s. was doing something nor to get control of the oil united states has plenty of oil the market is flooded with oil there's no particular reason to make this about oil right now so it's got to do with the logic of the actual crisis itself the huge numbers of refugees and the patent. which i say illegitimacy of the present government however. ok about the oil the thing is as i said before when i said chavez's program was oil socialism i'm going to heard him call it that without this tremendous amount of income that was coming in when the price of oil was astronomically high for all those years he would have completely collapsed you mentioned earlie

in other developments venezuelan , president nicolas maduro has ordered the u.s. to remove all of its diplomats from venezuela but washington is ignoring the request, claiming maduro no longer has authority to take such action. while the u.s. embasassy in caracas is staying open, the state department has ordered non-essential diplomats and embassy staff to leave the country. meanwhile, maduro has ordered all of venezuela's diplomatic staff in the united sates to return home. juan: the crisis is happening just weeks after maduro was sworn into a second six-year term following his victory in election last may which was boycotted by several of the opposition groups. the international community remains split on the situation in venezuela. on thursday, u.n. secretary general antonio guterres urged all actors to "lower tensions and pursue every effort to prevent violence and avoid any escalation." mexico and uruguay have urged all sides to hold negotiations. on thursday, mexico's new president andres manuel lopez obrador spoke out against foreign n intervention in venez

venezuelans already face spiralling prices for everyday goods. the international monetary fund predicts inflation will rise to 10 million percent this year. it's already at 1.3 million percent. the government introduced a new currency last year — the sovereign bolivar — knocking five zeros off the existing currency to mask the effects of inflation. but it has already slumped to more than 630 to the us dollar. carlos pascual is a former us diplomat and economic affairs analyst. he spoke to the bbc at the world economic forum in davos about the scale of the crisis facing venezuela. i think ithink in i think in a situation where you have inflation rate in such astronomical numbers that it's impossible to even say what they are, you hear stories about people going to gasoline station and paying with a banana because it more value than the currency, that venezuelans are desperate. they need to see change, they want to see a country which is prosperous, they know that they have re— sources that can make them rich and so it is hard at a certain po
