Hello everyone and welcome to Amampur.

Here's what's coming up.

I am very hopeful.

Venezuela will be free.

Venezuelan opposition leader and this year's Nobel Peace Laureate,

Maria Corina Machado, makes her triumphant return to the spotlight in Oslo after months in hiding.

We'll get reaction from inside Caracas and from Norway with opposition politician Leopoldo

Lopez, who fled Venezuela after being imprisoned by the Maduro regime.

Then, as Trump's dehumanizing immigration crackdown sweeps America, some organizations

are refusing to bow to the pressure.

Plus, if the goal was to overwhelm, let's just say they're succeeding.

New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser speaks to Michelle Martin about the World Win Year in U.S. politics and where she believes were headed in 2026. And a warm welcome to the program, everyone.

A dramatic moment in Oslo today, after nearly a year in hiding, sitting in for Kristyla Mampur. A dramatic moment in Oslo today.

After nearly a year in hiding,

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado

snuck out of her country and appeared in public

after winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

I don't think they have known where I have been

and certainly they would have done everything to stop me from coming here.

And actually, I want to take advantage of your question to thank all those men and women that risked their life so they could be here today.
