so our journalist stefano is live in caracas. and stefano, tell me what is happening now and why the u.s. is so invested in this outcome? >> reporter: brooke, happening now, it is tense when everybody is trying to understand whether these military uprising will be successful essentially the question hanging over the sky here in caracas is how many military units join the forces with juan guaido who has the crucial support of the white house, the u.s. government and many other countries in the international community. more than 50 states do recognize juan guaido as the effective legitimate acting president of venezuela and do not recognize em -- embattled nicolas maduro as president. the clashes have turned violent and we've been here for hours, live shot and ammunition being fired around the military air base that is just at the end of the road. about me from where i'm standing is the key military air base around which the clashes took -- are taking place here in caracas. these are some of the ammunition, 7.2 millimeters that the

we've been hearing for the best part of today live ammunition being fired here in caracas. which is quite a significant development. but the result of this standoff is still unclear. and also, brooke, unclear is how many military units have actually joined sides with the opposition leader juan guaido who proclaims himself the acting president of venezuela back in -- on the 23rd of january. his leadership has been recognized by many countries around the world first and foremost by the united states, by the white house. crucial support there. until today, no active military members were being seen standing side-by-side with guaido. but today that is exactly what happened. we've seen members of the national guard breaking the lines from their brothers in arms and defecting effectively, joining sides with the opposition. we're still trying to understand how many of them have actually joined the forces of the opposition and they will prevail at the end of a very intense day here in caracas. brooke, to be clear, just a couple of hundred meters behind my back, that is the place wh

he's been around caracas. but geraldo lopez is a former presidential candidate, juan guaido's mentor and a political prisoner and left house arrest. he was out with guaido today. that is significant. guaido and lopez together is a stronger message. this seems to be a very strong message to maduro who we haven't seen until this moment, 1:25 today, so it's interesting to see what that means. >> because guaido's mentor is no longer under house arrest? >> and he's out on top of a car talking to the crowd. >> being inspirational to the opposition here. the military is what's key here, and also i -- we've been seeing some real difficult pictures to watch of government vehicles, military that is an alliance with the government plowing into groups of protesters, but it's also pretty clear we're not seeing the worst of it, because we know according to our reporter on the ground he has bullets coming -- that have been coming from ar-15s that he's been able to pick up. i mean, this is pretty serious stuff going on. the m

with the situation in venezuela tonight violent clashes have erupted on the streets of the capital caracas as venezuelans opposition leader and self declared president urges the army to help him topple nicolas maduro now this footage that you're about to see shows an armored government vehicle headlong into a crowd of demonstrators outside a military base in the city the protesters were. called to take to the streets to oust president maduro. said earlier that these. secured the backing of military leaders but his valid to stop what he calls a military coup saying he has the total loyalty of his military command it's. a fluid situation this hour and in a d w exclusive we asked one white oh how much backing he really has from venezuela's military. he went over there are some key elements in this process and they are that the armed forces are not with nicholas matilda and they have to change and to such now with the people and the constitution venezuela is in a state of occupation of course there has been a lot of persecution within the armed forces even some carried out by the cuban intelli

with the latest from but it's where the from the capital caracas tonight oscar thank you. well just moments ago u.s. national security adviser john bolton urged image uro's aides nicolas maduro his aides to abandon him olten has also made it clear that the u.s. is prepared to intervene with force to support one if it feels that there is a need to do so here's part of what he had to say let me say two things to be very clear number one we want as our principal objective the peaceful transfer of power but i will say again as the president has said from the outset and that nicolas maduro and those supporting him particularly those who are not venezuelan should know is all options are on the table all that is right at the beginning three months ago we said that would be a big mistake for me doro and those supporting him to use force against innocent civilians we feel very strongly about it we felt that way then we feel that way now you know there was john bolton there speaking earlier about the situation in venezuela that even as well the government does not have diplomatic re

caracas thank you so much. let's get the view from russia correspondent i want to show and joins us from moscow welcome really what's the kremlin's position on today's events in venezuela well the kremlin has of course consistently supported nicolas maduro and they do not recognize one why though as president and they came out today again to kind of solidify that position the foreign ministry released an official statement criticizing the opposition they called the the the methods of the opposition violent and they said that the opposition was charting a course towards provoking conflict and they called for this situation to be resolved through talks we also saw from the foreign ministry today a kind of i thought it was a it was a side swipe at the u.s. they called for the international community not to meddle in the situation in venezuela now russia has for months now been accusing the u.s. of meddling the foreign minister sergey lavrov in march came out and accused the u.s. of meddling again accuse them of or

and they did as you've been speaking we are looking at live pictures of a street in caracas where a building appears to be on fire as crowds have gathered to watch you talk about washington putting its weight behind what's going on that they're likely to do more than provide just war words. that's the quick the key question right now phil many people have looked at trump's repeated statements that they will do everything to support as a tacit endorsement of military intervention that said we need to be very clear eyed on that and say that in terms of military mobilization from the united states we haven't seen anything significant as of yet washington d.c. instead has been pursuing a policy of economic pressure we've seen that in sanctions linked to the majority regime as well as those sanctions on the oil industry really throttling sales an output from venezuela remember that the venezuelan oil industry and its sales accounts for ninety six percent of its foreign income in a country which is already in dire economic straits so that is the current policy from washington certainly di
