:08:24. > :08:26.a parallel political process? No, it is going to reform the constitution,
:08:27. > :08:31.they are not going to rule the country. The opposition could have
:08:32. > :08:37.taken part, according to the article, the National Assembly could
:08:38. > :08:44.have called themselves if... They didn't do that. The opposition since
:08:45. > :08:49.2013, I have quite different leaders, have been asking for
:08:50. > :08:51.because it usually assembly, why didn't they in Congress called for a

:08:58. > :09:01.take part? Goals they say they don't trust the process. We cannot get it

:09:08. > :09:10.challenges for Venezuelan. Extreme inflation, and economy which is
:09:11. > :09:15.struggling, food shortages, medical shortages in some cases. This,
:09:16. > :09:19.whether you agree with the vote or not, continues to divide Venezuelan
:09:20. > :09:23.and makes resolving this bomb and harder. These are two separate
:09:24. > :09:29.issues. Because it usually is dealing with legality, at the same
:09:30. > :09:32.time yes, you are right, the Government and indeed the opposition

:09:57. > :10:00.must not forget that oil prices are very low and it depends heavily on

:18:59. > :19:06.cinema. She was a good friend for us, she did not like to be called a
:19:07. > :19:14.grandmother, she was the Old Lady of French cinema. She was a free
:19:15. > :19:21.actress and a free woman. She was very... She told a lot about film
:19:22. > :19:26.makers, she had love affairs with them, her work was very important,
:19:27. > :19:39.because it was part of her life. Especially of course what she did at
:19:40. > :19:48.the beginning of the 1960s, she became an icon for ours in those
:19:49. > :19:50.days. I guess that film just did not just launched as an actress but that
:19:51. > :20:06.is a singer, because one the most famous scenes is where she serenades
:20:07. > :20:09.us. She always told of how the movie was written, the director were
:20:10. > :20:14.staying at her place and a lot of people were coming, and among them
:20:15. > :20:23.there was this guy, a poet and novelist from Iran, and he was
:20:24. > :20:29.writing songs and one of the songs was is not in the film, she started
:20:30. > :20:36.a new career as a singer. That's right used in the film. She was also
:20:37. > :20:45.singing, and this song is really iconic of a way of, the way French
:20:46. > :20:52.cinema talked about ours with Frank feelings about it. She was great in
:20:53. > :20:59.that. The new a lot of film-makers from Orson Welles to Ingmar Bergman
:21:00. > :21:02.and the Swedish director, she was friends with them. She had worked
:21:03. > :21:10.with them sometimes. Sometimes she didn't work. She was very close to a
:21:11. > :21:16.lot of great intellectual figures of the 60s. Before I let you go, many
:21:17. > :21:22.people watching will have seen her films, but what film of hers should
:21:23. > :21:28.they watch? That is a tough question. She did another movie with
:21:29. > :21:31.Truffaut called The Bride Wore Black. It is interesting because you
:21:32. > :21:39.will see she has a very different kind of beauty than other activities
:21:40. > :21:43.of the time. You can see also a movie by... Called Lovers. It do a
:21:44. > :21:51.lot of scandal in Paris in the 50s. And of course you can see her in
