Charter but are clear obstacles imposed on countries who are attempting to deal with the covert 19 pandemic and meet the s d gs. As you know attacks are not just limited to unilateral course of measures on the 3rd of may. Venezuela swore to it and attempted. Invasion by sea a group of mercenaries and terrorist who were financed by the Us Government is known and trained in colombia. Well you know and this was done with the full complete support of the u. S. Government and the u. S. And colombian government this group of terrorists. Were stopped phoebe can be counted by our police and military union they were neutralized and captured. And those who perpetrated this attack against venezuela think went on or were arrested and they are now before our judicial bodies. I mean i mean recently we also captured a u. S. Use by well not of my men who had weapons. And documents on our oil and electric industry we face a daily c h. Weve been dismantling. These attacks genoud seen them unmasking them one after another and i wonder. How would you characterize a terrorist action in the midst of such extraordinary human you want to change circumstances as covert 19 how would you manage to characterize this action the very least one could say is that every this is a disproportionate action its one of the worst sins being carried out by the us elite. And that is why the bolivarian republic of venezuela reiterates the need. To reaffirm the principles of respect for sovereignty selfdetermination selfdetermination of peoples expressed in the un charter which unites all of us. The illegal violation of that charter by some Member States of this organization motivated by despicable reasons is endangering the stability of our country and our latin american latin american and caribbean region and. Peace loving countries must rise up and make the United States understand that in the midst of a pandemic no one understands nor can they explain this resurgence of criminal persecution and of this embargo against such noble countries as cuba nicaragua venezuela syria iran and other sister countries in the world. We must demand a cessation of all you need a lateral course of measures. Of all sanctions. Let our people exercise their own rights the right to development. And peace and i want the United States and its government must abandon this age old practice of criminalizing those who do not bend to their will in this world. Because we will continue to maintain our policy of independence and sovereignty it must be said by the United States. Throughout history has become one of the most significant threats to peace in this world. A lot of it we wish to echo the words of the u. N. Secretary general antonio good chere this we endorse his comments on calling for a global cease fire and an end to conflicts in the world calling for strict respects. For the purposes and principles of the un charter and of International Law in particular respect for sovereignty territorial integrity and non interference in the internal affairs of states and promoting dialogue among nations the peaceful settlement of disputes in prohibiting threat of the use of force. In its or president traditionally venezuela has been a host country for refugees and migrants however as a direct consequence of the criminal unilateral coercive measures and the economic aggression imposed by the government of the United States on our people you dont mean. There is currently a migration of our citizens primarily for economic reasons however. At the current time but our country is now experiencing a massive wave of voluntary reach ernies thousands of venezuelan migrants who are returning from countries with extremely high levels of covert 19 such as colombia ecuador parun chile and brazil and they are returning for a number of reasons but the most important is the failure of those countries to manage golden 19 and secondly because of the systematic violation of the human rights of venezuelan migrants. The use of age old incentive for big policies against the migrants from our country. Including at the highest levels of the government in these countries. Theres been discrimination mistreatment lack of Socio Economic conditions situations of semi servitude trafficking in persons indignities that our people have suffered as migrants and what is the reaction of the world been. We wonder what a support. Who is concerned for venezuela facing such reprehensible acts silence is complicity as weve said the covert 19 pandemic. Has had a serious impact on the unsustainable Living Conditions of thousands of migrants in those recipient countries theyve reported a rise in never lacked a lack of perspire ensign care by the authorities of those countries. But we clearly see the fragile nature of the social Protection Networks in these countries which at times are held up. Economic and social models and we wonder once again how is it possible. That despite the enormous amount of money that has been given to these governments through these extravagant donor conferences for venezuelan migrants whats happened with that money have the government stolen it could it be we think. That we must. Seriously reconsider the role that some un agencies have been playing or that has been played by some individuals. Representing these agencies such as the u. N. H. C. R. And the International MigrationOrganization Mr president by way of reconciliation. And through a agreements reached in our National Dialogue roundtable among the Political Parties in venezuela in september 29th teen we have taken a series of measures to benefit democracy in venezuela recently we pardoned 110 citizens belonging to the opposition right charged with various crimes of aggression against our country and with that decision. We hope to continue to work towards national reconciliation. We believe that peace deserves every effort to be and we will continue with our efforts in this very difficult task but we are complying with the mandates established in our National Constitution adopted by referendum. You know by the venezuelan people in december 19th 1009 and therefore on sunday the 6th of december this year we will hold the 25th democratic election in the past 20 years this will be done to renew the legislative power that the participation of more than 14400 you can do it is more than 107 political organize ations. All in from across the National Ideological spectrum in venezuela. I can assure you that all necessary guarantees will be there to hold these elections and we therefore invite the world to come and to witness our living democracy. No one can deny that only the people the venezuelan people the right to elect their new legislative power because this is a key tool for collective existence and it will be the expression of the will for constitutional power. That we. Have no one will make that decision for venezuela and us we do not intervene or attempt to make that decision in any other nation we are respectful and therefore we demand respect. Government of washington which has brought its own people to the brink of collapse as a result of the pandemic and which will hold president ial elections in november in clear violation of International Law illegally imposed a new unilateral course of measures against the democratic bandit venezuelan institutions in this case the Electoral Branch in the attempt to interfere in the holding of parliamentary elections provided for in our constitution and that is why the bolivarian republic of venezuela reiterate the need to reassert the principles of respecting sovereignty and selfdetermination of peoples expressed in the un charter. The illegal violation of this charter by some Member States of this country this organ of this organization is an attempt to bring venezuela to violence into conflict we will not allow that to happen we demand respect venezuela has chosen the path of peace democracy freedom voting participation and the will of the people this is the way it has always been and this is the way it will continue to be mr president authorities of the world heads of state heads of government venezuelas here standing strong with our historic dignity we live in peace we are prepared for a new challenges we are prepared for a new victorious i take my leave of you wishing you unity peace and cooperation for the entire world thank you. Nicolas maduro there addressing the u. N. General assembly remotely wide ranging speech and during which he praised his countrys handling of the code 900 pandemic and repeatedly attacked the us for what he called its illegal in bargo and demanded an end to sanctions that is bring in eric funds worth is that the Vice President of the council of the americas he joins us via skype from washington d. C. So its a quite a bombastic and defiant speech there from a president Nicolas Maduro what do you what we do you think the headlines there i think bombastic and defiant is exactly right i would say it was an impressive speech for an alternative reality i mean accusing other governments in latin america of corruption when hes heading a regime that has literally stolen hundreds of billions of dollars over the years is its quite a feat quite an impressive display but you know in some its all of all it was quite expected i mean the attacks on the United States the praise for russia china and cuba the alignment of the time to the alignment with the Global Environmental community all of these things are things that we would anticipate from them of their own regime whether or not theyre true or not is a different question so how secure is this position of many of the sanctions regime as far as i can gather has really brought the level of money they can get from the oil in venezuela down to very little what are they surviving on. Yeah its a really good question i mean oil really is the driving force of venezuela the economy through the years which is one reason why his claiming to be so environmentally sensitive just rings hollow for a variety of reasons not the with the least of which is that been a swell and destruction of its own Energy Sector through incompetence through driving out talented engineers through stealing not reinvesting in the economy and such are in the in the oil sector has destroyed the oil economy and therefore the the money that would normally be coming in really isnt available yes the United States has put sanctions on as well as Energy Sector those are relatively recent the destruction of the sector has been ongoing for much longer so the regime is getting money essentially through an any number of illegal activities Drug Trafficking in mining and the sale of gold and Precious Minerals in the very sensitive amazon regions of been a spoiler theres a variety of things that are happening right now but the one thing i would notice that i would note is that the regime does have money to pay its Security Forces and to pay those who are affiliated with the regime the people that are suffering are the venezuelan people and thats the number of people literally 10 percent or even more of the population thats outside the country now as refugees that have been forced to flee the country so its a really desperate situation tell me that theres not much mention these days of one go i dont know what are the prospects for him and he supported by the u. S. And by the European Union as being efficient the leader of his weight and yet as this seems to will go quiet. Well yes exactly right and certainly in this one constitution as well hes the interim president to according to the venezuelan constitution this is another aspect of what girls claiming he was claiming to be a Constitutional Government when in fact its no such thing as well as constitution would support 01. 0 is the interim president but the reality is there are remains in power he remains in control of the Security Forces the interim government of why go is supported by over 50 countries internationally not just in the United States but in europe in latin america can the. But its difficult to really build a Political Movement when in fact people who go out to the street to protests are violently put down who are taken away for. Holding in prison. Sentences that sort of thing the United Nations itself just last week came out with a report that accused been a swale of crimes against humanity and so and many of these crimes have alleged to have occurred against the protesters and the Opposition Leaders who are loyal to the interim government so it still maintains its position in venezuelan politics but the reality is its awfully difficult to dislodge a regime that has access to the Security Forces and has one goal and that goal is to remain in power for as long as possible eric thank you very much indeed for your analysis appreciate your time. Thank you. In the us a Police Officer has been indicted over a raid which led to the death of a black woman in her home but has not been charged over her death brianna tate who was shot dead in march after officers entered her home without warning a grand jury has decided to charge the officer with wanton endangerment the shooting into neighboring apartments but not the fatal shot taylors death along with that of george floyd sparked a wave of demonstrations over racism and Police Brutality throughout the country the grand jury voted to return an indictment against detective hankinson for 3 counts of want endangerment for want to newly placing the 3 individuals in apartment 3 in danger of serious physical injury or death lets go live to john hendren in louisville kentucky and john that remind us how those charges were received. They have been very badly received here in louisville if you look over my shoulder you can see theres a group of protesters in a standoff with police thats peaceful right now but not long ago that line of police wasnt there and those protesters made their way down this street and you can see those men in green are part of a swat team they called with special Response Team here in louisville and well armed officers and then youve got police over here in riot gear and if you look on the hood of that car what youre seeing is people who have been arrested giving their information to the officers before being taken away youve got that military vehicle there blocking the road. And this is all be closed to people who heard that verdict were especially set that nobody was indicted for actually shooting Briana Taylor those 3 wanton endangerment charges against one officer that was an officer who fired into a neighboring apartment apparently by accident in a park where there was a family of 3 and that accounts for each of those 3 charges so people here in the streets are saying there is no justice for Briana Taylor and that is why theyre protesting theres a curfew here tonight tomorrow and the next night at 9 oclock at night thats just a few hours from now but you can bet these protesters will be out here after the curfew just as they have been in minneapolis minnesota and in can measure wisconsin and frankly every other city where weve covered these many protests and john you are new to the level of security that talk us through how they make their decisions and how long that this isnt going to carry on in terms of curfews and so on. The city has been prepared for days they shut down the businesses at the beginning of the week and they told people they were going to shut down the center of town and you can see. Theyve got the manpower right now to do that you might be able to hear the several helicopters above me as well so the mayor said he didnt know what the decision was going to be that a grand jury would come down with that decision but because Brianna Taylors boyfriend he says he thought that an intruder was coming into their apartment because he fired a shot through that door with a legally registered weapon and then the officers fired there was a pretty high bar for them to be charged with anything and so we indeed despite the fact that Brianna Taylors mother who we interviewed recently had for charges against the officer there was a big chance there would be none of this city was prepared for Massive Force and thats pretty much what you can see displayed behind me john hendren thank you very much indeed. The European Union is seeking to overhaul its broken migration and asylum rules it wants to end years of bitterness and infighting over the fate of the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing poverty and war in the middle east and africa changes would abandon the idea of mandatory refugee quotas replacing them with a compulsory solidarity mechanism as well as taking in arrivals countries can sponsor returns or provide Operational Support theyll be foster asylum aboard a process involving decisions within 12 weeks and swift returns for failed applicants those countries that do take in refugees or Asylum Seekers rescued in the mediterranean will be offered more than 11000. 00 per person but to appease eastern nations including poland and hungary a new country will be obliged to take anyone in but even for migrants whove been granted asylum in the journey remains incredibly difficult as youve made it to the greek island of lesbos a confused and worried even if theyre allowed to remain in Europe Stephanie decker reports. No one we asked here was aware of the hughes announcement of a new policy no mohamed from afghanistan has been granted asylum but remain stuck on the island on lockdown for Asylum Seekers due to the coronavirus he reminds us how he and thousands of others suffered to make it this far must child suffer the journey of refugees and migrants the illegal way is really really difficult you know many people get hurt some get stuck along the way its a horrible journey europe has recently reignited the discussion on its migration policies prompted by the burning down of moriah camp europes biggest here and as was island over 2 weeks ago this package reflects a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among men but states we all share the benefits we all share the burden this package also reflects a very pragmatic and realistic approach but it seems the new policy is more focused on tightening border controls and on sending back those with failed to successfully claim asylum rather than streamline the process for those already here a steadiest kind of us is a greek lawyer providing free legal aid to the Asylum Seekers its a messy and complicated process if its not a direction then they have a right to appeal. They have the right cause obligation to provide free legal a lot of support of them to draft. Appeal however there is a lot of legal of above vision of legal so the silence of those who have an assertive is a huge issue or the lack of information provided to the refugees about the process means many cannot access the legal avenues the technically should be provided for them many remain here not knowing how to appeal others are faced multiple rejections but have not been deported. For those like mohammed who have been granted what is seen as the ultimate dream when everyone here wants lawyers tell us his hardships a far from over in fact they could get even worse there is hardly any help once theyre cut off from any aid due to their asylum status and there is a lack of Integration Programs to help them adjust to a new society after months and months if not years of languishing in these camps. 100 percent im worried im worried how to integrate myself into the society are more about finding a job how to find work and stand on my own feet and to make my life again the e. U. Says it needs to share the burden of the refugee and migration crisis greece and the residents here say they are tired of doing it alone for mohamed who is left everything behind in search of a safer and better life and for the 10s of thousands of others like him waiting for answers in the camps of europes border states the burden and the feeling of doing it alone is far too familiar Stephanie Decker aljazeera less was island greece.

A gaunt looking at nice sits in a german park his fight against navi chop poisoning has now entered a new phase compare how he looks right now with how he looked when he fell ill last month back then many wondered if he might die he himself wondered if hed ever be fit to leave hospital saying on social media the 1st time they took me to the mirror after 24 days in intensive care of which 16 were in a coma a character from the movie lord of the rings looked at me from the mirror and believe me was not an elf at all i was terribly upset i thought i would never be discharged but perseverance and dedicated medical care won out meaning he would indeed be discharged when the news emerged the German Government reacted quickly yes the nz students like the German Government is extremely relieved that mr valley has made such a good physical recovery that he has been able to end his inpatient treatment this is very encouraging and we wish him the continued path to recovery.

U. Sanctions against russia over its an exception of crimea but knows that not every european partner wants to see Vladimir Putins government punished further the sanctions have. To be renewed every 6 months and i know from german diplomats that it cost them a lot of political investment to maintain where we are right now so introducing new sanctions i thing which is even beyond the capacities of the capabilities of the German Government but at least to maintain where we are is maybe the strongest we can expect from the German Government right now because there is another factor to be considered russian natural gas supplies around a 3rd of germanys energy the controversial multibillion dollar nord stream to pipeline between the 2 states is almost complete and although many senior politicians here are now demanding it be shelved so far ministers disagree but for alex in our valley right now what matters most is getting his health back dominic kane aljazeera but in the coffin carrying the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg has been placed in the u.
