and developing at noon violence today at
the Brazilian border with a clash with
security forces we're told a woman was
killed and more than a dozen more
injured
it comes after Venezuela President
Nicolas Maduro ordered the border closed
after plans to bring in humanitarian aid
from Brazil and two other neighboring
countries this weekend and two drivers
transporting members of the Venezuelan
National Assembly were injured during an
attack early this morning right near the
Colombian border rocks flew into the
front windshield sending both drivers to
the hospital meanwhile of Venezuela aid
live concert organized by British
billionaire mogul Richard Branson is
underway right now he plans to raise a
hundred million dollars today to help
opposition leader Juan Y bull with his
plan to get humanitarian aid across the
border let's go now to local 10 News
anchor Louie Aguirre he is live at the
concert in cucuta Colombia he joins us
on the phone Louie
one of the most incredible event I have
ever witnessed in my entire life I wish
I could put into words the emotion that
you feel here is air the energy is just
filled with so much hope this means so
much the people have been as well as we
did it they have arrived at a seminal
moment yet at the tensions found at
every border with Venezuela to try to
get that humanitarian aid into the
country there is this force that this is
going to have an impact by the Saturday
deadline and this concert is to bring
the eyes of the world to exactly what is
happening right here as well
the fact that people are starving
they're dying they've been without food
without medicine it's been without the
necessary things that you could be able
to live for a very very long time and
they have at it so right now that ties
one flight he'll there's been a gauntlet
that has been laid down the beetle must
let this age Beefalo p.m. on Saturday
and say this concert is not only to
raise funds but also to draw attention
to what has happened this and it's the
entire world aware of what is happening
and as I said this is one of the most
emotional Lantis experiences I've ever
had as a journalist in my 30 years in
this business it is incredible the
concert began but a very kind of almost
settled
formants by a youtube store name is be
invited there to go home who was a
social media sensation because actually
HIV saga and they cross the line Bob
little came into power and has been
traveling Minnesota on a bus songs oak
and opposition to his only fitting that
she's refers to take the stage we need
to try to help those who are not getting
medical help help those who are hungry
and today hopefully on the back of this
concert we can start maybe getting
supplies into Venezuela so that people
are not suffering so much face further
funds we'd like to try to put those
funds towards keeping doctors in
Venezuela keeping nurses in Venezuela
because at the moment most of the
doctors most of the nurses have left
left Venezuela and we need them to go
back okay you just heard from Richard
Branson who along with the Gruner
example the Colombian entrepreneur made
this thing happen in three weeks of
course you have the juxtaposition of
this message of love unity and hope
happening here under on the border
between Colombia and Venezuela but then
in stark contrast you have that violence
that erupted today in Brazil on that
border town of biancalana as you said
one woman who was killed 12 people badly
hurt in clashes with the Venezuelan
National Guard and the Venice own army
as medieval again dig his heels in
deeper to close up all the borders to
make sure that the manatorian Aid is not
enter Venezuela he sees that as an
invasion he sees that at the political
motivation for the United States and
other countries to come in and invade
that is where up yet core says there is
no crisis in Venezuela and the geezers
to admit that there is one
that is ongoing but again the world sees
and those differently Attis what you
have is this grand effort here today and
people die with this concert tennis will
not aid live see some incredible
performances there's a grandfather the
Godfather I should say I've been as well
a music pop music community that and
whom I took the stage his first time on
stage since he had that double lung
transplant about a year ago it was such
an emotional moment many more superstars
present to take the stage maluma will
faces things are long fearing a funky
many many more it's going to be a big
day of music the five hour concerts and
again the people here know that this is
a moment of hope a moment of love and
they are very worried about what's going
to happen tomorrow mixing the states but
they believe that it will happen if
humanitarian aid will go into Venezuela
that it will be violence but there will
be change that tomatoes from cuckoo back
here at the live 8 concert Venezuela aid
live I mean you're a lantern and canoes
back to you in studio I'm so incredible
to see these live images Louis thank you

afternoon and our team coverage turns
now to local 10 News reporter Andrew
Perez he is live in Doral with reaction
from local Venezuelans Andrew and you
can just imagine it's not only local
Venezuelans the Cuban exile community
reacting as well people from Colombia
also in on this yet several local
leaders are gathered here at kinda my
restaurant in Doral just a short time
ago all of them saying they're really
pushing for some big changes in
Venezuela the Venezuelan community
coming together in South Florida watch
parties organized across the area for
that massive benefit concert Live Aid
Venezuela I think it's a preparation for
what's gonna happen tomorrow they wanted
to start moving people to the border in
order that tomorrow we have a lot of
people in the border to help bring that
humanitarian help inside Venezuela
locals rallying behind the college
hoping to help raise millions of dollars
and convincing Nicolaas maota to accept
food and medical aid supplies to allow
them into the country they're being
stockpiled around Venezuela as this
standoff continues local saying they
support Hwang why though as president
and they want mother wrote to step down
Maduro is not depressing anymore
who is staying there as a power dictator
but the real interim president of
Venezuela is one way though
so you should be looking at some live
pictures of this concert we have been
following this since it began such a
huge turnout so many people in South
Florida also keeping a very close eye on
this there's another watch party over in
downtown Miami as well at Silver spot
