elect discover the an. eleven. subscribe to documentary on you tube. the. humanitarian aid has been turned into a spectacle to justify a military intervention. that there are you know where by a twenty third will be the day of the humanitarian aid to enter venezuela. the press is waiting for self declared interim president one. he spearheading efforts to bring humanitarian aid into venezuela from colombia in defiance of the incumbent leader nicolas maduro. venezuelan journalist. is here to cover this
battle of wills the co-founder of online news site l b times he's exposed corruption involving government and military leaders in doing so he's put himself at risk men from venezuela secret service mingle with the journalists they observe and photograph anyone and everyone because it's from here that on why don't plans to set off with opposition m.p.'s when his aide mission. says our relays their every move to his staff at. the mine at the moment but. right now we can see one of the buses carrying lawmakers and the convoy heading to the colombian border by. the bar. a little bit cold cold on.
a twelve hour drive lies ahead of ses are in quite a convoy from the venezuelan capital caracas to the colombian border this road was once lined by huge fields of sugar cane but the late president hugo chavez expropriated millions of acres of farms and ranches because of government mismanagement the fields are no longer cultivated the country even has to import sugar. typical farms have been abandoned. all of the money that was invested here is lost. it that we have neither the sugar cane that used to be cultivated here and gave a sugar nor do we have the vegetables that were supposed to be grown here to feed the venezuelan people. and as with. the result is a hunger crisis more than three million venezuelans have fled the country after syria it's the world's biggest refugee crisis.
neither sees our buddies nor one quite knows convoy are making headway the road is closed. in a moment. believe or not we've been stuck in this traffic jam for over an hour and the information we have is that the government so either the military or the police have parked a truck sideways across the other end of the cabrera tunnel to block the convoy from passing through it i. believe it possible. to bypass the road block caesar and his driver turn around the bus carrying the lawmakers is stuck in the tunnel. for a little while ago but we've had word that is in the black jeep cherokee ahead of us. now we're looking for an alternative route to reach the end times and the
colombian border. but no matter what route sezar and his driver take the military is a step ahead it's blocked whole side rooms. that included a state there's a road block every three hundred meters we've never seen anything like it. will still make it and the humanitarian aid. get into venezuela. a police or military roadblock can remain in place for hours say czar has lost track of the convoy. that looks like. but that's a lie the plot the old. people's nerves are starting to fray.
and you just want to go home a confrontation erupts with the national guard. and we complained because we wanted to continue our journey. i kept. reading here for a long while and are tired after work. even if i was attacked by two female and two male soldiers my husband and my brother tried to defend me and were both arrested. like you did the rest of my husband my brother and my seven year old son. and they haven't caught me yet because i ask people here for help. but the situation in venezuela. people just accept it because we're all afraid because they attack us but it seems like a humiliating us and we just put up with it you can't have it up out of the hell out of it or not. after twelve hours on the road
says our hasn't even made it halfway to the venezuelan border city of san antonio which he's starting to don't whether he'll reach his destination in time. but i will not if we don't stop until there's hope that you can sense the hope and the determination among all of why dose supporters they didn't see really they believe that the weeks the border between them and they'll get the humanitarian aid . awareness that what they're confronted by repressive forces trying to prevent that. fatal from you know the fact that you're living in fear but if the government resorts to violence to stop the aid from coming into the country. that nicolas maduro knows this week then the international community could launch investigations
going all the way to the international criminal court in the us is out of the demand that enough or not. the burning question is how will the venezuelan military react until now the generals have stood firmly behind nicolas maduro. paths remain there you're going on the one he met with the armed forces are a pandora's box that hasn't yet been opened. the water coconuts. in the state of touch era which borders colombia long lines form at gas stations it's a paradox venezuela possesses the world's largest proven oil reserves and yet its refineries are dilapidated run by the military with no expertise venezuela has to import fuel yet here you can buy eight hundred liters of gas for the price of
a bottle of mineral water because the state subsidizes gas. well look at the skew the city with. their typical for this state. since gas is so cheap air it's no wonder there's a brisk trade in smuggling gas to colombia. it's that back to the. war that's why there are such long lines at the gas stations. in israel as military and colombia's yelling guerillas control the lucrative contraband fuel to. after thirty six hours three times longer than planned sales are reaches the seimone boulevard bridge on the border thousands cross it each day to buy things no longer available in venezuela or to escape the country altogether i know that you know they don't know where they want to go without or they will find that the you know the best of . the one million venezuelans have fled to neighboring colombia.
oh oh oh oh wait you know. others travel on from here to chile ok room or at the door she. was out with outline of how much to the casino hotel. complex pistols twelve that much. says are discovers that the lobby of this hotel is a good place to conduct research lots of good duros political opponents are in town . like louisa or take a d.s. venezuela's former prosecutor general in twenty seventeen she called nicolas maduro policies unconstitutional to escape arrest she fled to colombia with a suitcase full of incriminating documents she hopes they'll be used to bring charges of human rights violations against president maduro at the international criminal court in the hague piccolo fulcrum where you know the beast from within my
door as i'm chavez i'm the apparatus of power one of you know it well and that in the past the government had lots of resources to overcome crises and why are you convinced madeira won't survive this one that they think no os i live in now the model facility. it comin see that put it in the line convinced because you for the first time get all of venezuela's democratic powers are united on that route no it was the this is no fight of the traditional opposition that was shown to these unless you know kelo that there is an office ition within china of islam itself. people who once believed in this project but don't any more coming in so. volunteers are waiting at the colombian side of the border most are venezuelans
they want to bring the aid which has been supplied by the us the e.u. and other countries into venezuela by human chain if necessary. this is listen eat breakfast quickly and then come to the tea and beat us bridge we'll be waiting for you then so eat and go there i embrace you because today's the day we must do all we can to free venezuela you see it's not just about getting the aid through the snow we must free our country. guide your. cash. just. to me that you wanted out there i look at it and then look at it by selling it on
the whole eurasia we have many of. the very thought that we have been u.s. army that he only wanted a lover that when he was young fellow for his dream britain and thirty three this morning the humanitarian aid was officially handed over to one why don't the interim president of venezuela. got at this moment he's in colombia giving a press conference together with the presidents of park y. and columbia and the secretary general of the organization of american states luis . de lorean they're calling on the venezuelan military to stop the violence and allow. humanitarian aid into the country but i'd say fill out your name say that meeting and give her a little money but. by letting the aid in the military would be sending a clear message that it recognizes why don't as interim leader by stopping the supplies at the border it would show it remains loyal to mudra so there's far more
at stake here than just aid it's about the power of images and a showdown between two men who both claim to be venezuela's legitimate president. i know what i'm arguing for going on that we've come as far as we can go on the bridge. and we can't go any further because the colombian police have cordoned it off putting. in clinton at the end of the bridge the containers and the tanker truck are blocking the entrance to the bridge and then in seem like a cement they go overboard on the truck we can see a camera person and a journalist who are looking over at our side. only own come our order for yet up and say must be waiting to see if something happens on this side of the colombian venezuelan border and i do recall that on the island said they're. there enough and there are one or more and it's one on a. little bit. on the colombian side of the last twenty to international bridge all the cameras are
pointed toward venezuela. but nothing happens. but there. are several hours pass and still nothing happens. but this is what the entrance to the ten dieter's bridge into that and looks like the guy who pulled up the flow back in say the trucks carrying the humanitarian. aid and the people who follow the money that is the robin hood where these trucks going by. car carrying her car behind bars. from a total rain yellow bar to these trucks are now going to rain. a rainy night is when the venezuelan side of the santander bridge and it's over this
bridge that the aid convoy wants to try to cross the border. but moments later one of the trucks goes up in flames on the santander bridge and ultra cation erupt between demonstrators and venezuelan security forces it was the federal i mean here i crossed the border line here between venezuela and colombia on this entente a bridge the tear gas attacks began looking more into the port it is for the board until there were not a wave and now you can see lots of men throwing stones toward the venezuelan side of the lens i know peered out when you see them were. there i'll cover them now but tear gas cartridge went off right next to the journalists he got not gun that he had just been fired it was no no you a bit of a gun then i sent one up though it hopefully no one was hit. any philosophy and it was tossed into the river right away but the smell still quite strong. was that i
was almost throwing molotov cocktails careful knocking they could set fire to the truck that was. no. it was. no one here knows which side set the truck on fire or whether they did it on purpose or by accident. oh. come on a little bit i think we can see that a truck is going up in flames that night and got up a medal at the first truck that tried to cross the bridge operated by that and then there quoting from a few of. the phone the people fighting here say it was the venezuelan police who set the truck on fire when in full view an audio going it's an honor killing fan the out of every gun and of her own daughter was
a propaganda war rages in the media and social networks some blame a duro security forces and call for a military intervention in their eyes the burning truck is a symbol of materials flagrant violation of human rights others believe majority's opponent set the fire to discredit him but maybe it was simply an accident. was five. some of the relief supplies onboard can be salvaged. but on this day not a single aid package makes it across the border from colombia to venezuela. many people's hopes have been dashed that the military would switch sides. meanwhile in caracas president maduro announces that he is severing diplomatic relations with colombia and closing the borders between the two countries. you will
. see. the border between venezuela and colombia has now been closed for two days but people are still crossing back and forth using what's known as truck jus illegal trails that lead right through the river it's a dangerous route as the torch as. are controlled by criminal gangs anyone who wants to cross over here must pay. for something the police and military on both sides of the border simply look the
other way. for. our young venezuelan refugees have gathered under the border bridge some are still children they call themselves loud resistance yeah the resistance to the material regime. but we mustn't we didn't get through because they just smirked at us but he who laughs last last specificity will give me more. and who will that be. good order some of us read it looks like a military intervention is off the table. as it were you know it is our own history and no one knows if why dole will return to venezuela today this. newly seen anywhere on the tube. in la so the game still wide open. to.
the. now fight. fight. fight and. if the political candidate then i mean right now we're reporting from the cmon bully our bridge where the venezuelan national guard has advanced almost to the colombian border for longer. the young people enter frustration at the venezuelan police on the other side of the bridge pelting them with stir. cones and sticks. people are injured.
and cuckoo does love karada district right behind the border bridge the situation has remained calm many venezuelan refugees now live here some of the one million who've sought shelter in colombia. ok if you want to feel you are going to get back out and i came here the people in this house helped me and for that i'm grateful that a family i mean the folks here like my family my soul candy is here lollipops cakes for us i will say though some days i didn't sell a thing and couldn't pay my rent or went to bed hungry the angle or i didn't complain i didn't want to burden anyone but i was up and away from the left and i saw a good lesson i come from an agricultural zone we took the name of valley the state of iowa that was it was once a very productive area with lots of small farms in the us i'm a small farmer from there myself unfortunately i had to leave because we had
nothing no seeds no fertilizer nothing instead we were dispossessed the last the little we had left since the farm supply business okro patri it was nationalized agriculture in the entire area has ground to a halt and mr president use your common sense look at how states and acknowledge the problems you've created because you are to blame for what we're going through because on the part of the compass on the good what do you think about what's happening now in the reform momentum right now but you can't find corn meal in the supermarket what's that but you can find it on the black market as it is and there are cars. two or three times as much harm if you do that corruption is a brutal booking that is corruption because who supplies the black market vendor. ok someone has to give him the goods that he sells is i'm going to get up when i want to get up well and then does that affect you nothing in all of it is one of the snuck up little innocent. wilner us why he was once
a political ally of hugo chavez but in two thousand and eight began to investigate corruption within the chavez family since then he's been arrested twice and tortured by the secret police for going to get them to according to the information we have i'll tell you across the board even the biggest idiot has a hundred million dollars why is the country in the state it is because of the corruption it's not the sanctions it's not donald trump oh yvonne duca no it's because that stolen everything. and the state of venus they have their stooges who hide the money of the ministers. well that's ministers to us where the government now. and the day will come when there will be justice in venezuela and many truths will be uncovered that we still know nothing about. the us. corruption is one of the root causes of the venezuelan crisis and of the country's frequent power outages say czar has uncovered cases of corruption in the nationalized energy
sector and the question it could. take electricity. let me give you an example at the moment ago. first of all the power grid grow old and decrepit the. second you declare an electricity crisis that they have passed the third the crisis lets you award contracts without having to call for tenders for think this gives you the chance to hand out contracts to your friends at the home eagles single family with your friends help you can inflate prices the buy the articles voted but as. you can also buy junk instead of new equipment. simple seventhly as a result people die because the power goes off in hospitals and they think oh no hope done focusing on the new.
the. forget anything that's why did you leave why did you feel even as. the. on. the crisis has also increased tensions with the world's major powers the us russia and china are pursuing their own interests it's about geopolitics and oil. just need to be sued it doesn't feel threatened he said bessie did not think that.
would be medicine at the first scenario is that maduro stays in power and rules over a land in ruins and foolish second scenario is if there's a transition and initiated by the minister wayland's themselves. that will result in deaths. so a coup executed by the military but with a transitional government in which civil authorities would also take part of it and get a percentage of the insulin looking for should there be a coup then such a scenario would be the most successful one. a scenario in which power doesn't all wind up with the military but with the government composed of the military and civilians by you. know the civil authorities that would be we don't know yet cynically that casey really and the third scenario which i see as being the most likely one thing is a transition that's the result of an international military intervention in
interest. you want to. order to rethink your. people here. venezuela's fate no longer lies in the hands of venezuelans alone the outcome of this power struggle is still wide open. no way to feel impotent play always said i want to perform my job as a journalist from the opposite side of the street. know that's where we always need to be but with another government. it's my duty to confront those in power to raise a critical voice regardless of which government is in power and that. says our bateese is back in venezuela but the story doesn't end here. one point
zero has also returned the government and the opposition are calling on their supporters to take to the streets a week after caesar's return finished suffered a massive near total blackout that lasted five days it left twenty million people without drinking water or electricity and led to the deaths of dozens of patients in darkened hospitals.
