M. F. Loan well protesters in the capital of briefly stormed the heavily guarded parliament and clashed with Security Forces and other government buildings in quito were also attacked and damaged it comes hours after president lennon mourinho announced that he had temporarily moved Government Operations from the capital which has been the center off the protests to the port city of. No with the belief that its a democratic system cannot be violated the constitution cannot be violated you cannot damage the assets of the ecuadorians and the ecuadorian people in general and of course even less damage the physical integrity of people thats why were here but what i dont also accused a former president of. Venezuelan president nicolas my little orchestration and attempted coup the court had denied the allegations and called her early elections. Theres no kookier conflicts in a democracy are solved at the ballot box and that is precisely what we are asking in strict adherence to the constitution to allow elections to be held in event of serious social unrest such as the bone we are witnessing lets get more now from our latin america editor Lucien Newman she is joining us live from cato and weve been looking at pictures of the chaos on the streets lucy what are you seeing. Well we were seeing the same thing because we were there elizabeth but right now things are moving stuff right now are a little bit quieter it seems that the protesters are regrouping but there are preparing to spend the night outside not only tonight but the next night and its many days and nights as necessary and they tell me until they get what they want and that is for the president to repeal these austerity measures others are actually asking for the president to step down that is not so clear that that is an absolute must but that there are different groups wanting Different Things but right now the biggest force that were seeing here in quito are the indigenous groups that i have been coming converging here on the capital and at this hour more and more of them are expected to arrive overnight early in the morning theyre walking marching taking a stance here for a huge march on wednesday which is supposed to be a not a nationwide a National Strike but that theyre going to attempt to make it into the president ial palace or around the president ial palace so that and im quoting one of the Indigenous Leaders so that they can negotiate from a stronger position with the president but lucy so thats despite the fact that the president himself has moved outside of quito and to guy a q he said so father hes not backing down on these austerity measures that theyre positive and National Monetary fund bailout so you know where to from here if hes not going to back down he has called for International Mediation but a protest is open to that. The protesters are not open to that from what we can see in fact there would be a very very hard hardening of their position if he says as he has been saying until now and youre absolutely right that he cant back out of these austerity measures and that that he will not do that but you know in politics its always never until hes got no choice he has just declared a curfew here at least here in quito which will begin in about 2 hours time until 5 in the morning. There was a lot of tension here and so there are a lot of people who are urging the president to reconsider its position because they say that he is really his mission is extremely weak right now he doesnt have enough support and that the country is becoming very destabilized and that somebody is going to have to give and at least something is going to have to be given on the part of the president thats what his advisors from what we are understand are telling him and you see youve covered the region so extensively for us what do you make of president saying that the destabilization that we seeing has been engineered by former president and if and could it would help from the venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro you know 2 weeks ago president correa the former president correa was in venezuela he is an advisor to president my ludo we dont have any absolute hard evidence that he is pulling the strings behind what is happening here now but we do know that he certainly has political ambitions which he has made very very public and very clear he said hes willing to come back to back to ecuador and run as Vice President and he wants and actions to be brought forward by remember he is supposed to be standing trial now on charges of corruption if he were to become the Vice President he would have in unity so you can draw your own conclusions from that lucianne thank you very much for that finale thats on thats america added to d. C. And human with all the latest live in the ecuadorian capital thank you. Were going to move on to other news now the white house says it will not cooperate with an impeachment inquiry into president Donald Trumps dealings with ukraine calling the probe illegitimate well its only the trumpet in the straight and blocked a diplomat at the center of the inquiry from testifying to Congress Mike hanna has more. Ambassador sunderland had flown back from brussels and was eager to appear agreement for the deposition had been reached to the state department but then at half past midnight a voicemail was left on someones lawyers phone saying the trumpet ministration would not allow him to give evidence the failure to produce this witness. The failure to produce these documents. We consider yet additional strong evidence of structure and of the constitutional functions of congress a coequal branch of Government Republican Committee Members all back to the white house move what we see in this impeachment is a Kangaroo Court in chairman shift is acting like a malicious captain kangaroo and theres no pressure whatsoever coincidentally or not a phrase very similar to that use to by the president an hour earlier unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised Kangaroo Court treated President Trump where republicans rights have been taken away and true facts are not allowed out for the public to see republican members of the house committees insist democrats have been selective in what evidence to make public particularly of that provided last week by u. S. Representative to ukraine could focus which made clear u. S. Diplomats had been discussing the preconditions for a meeting between President Trump and his ukraine counterpart this has to be a fair process and when you have a press release being drafted by our democrat colleagues cheery picking Text Messages when the full text of ambassador bowkers testimony last week would have exonerated this president lets release it ambassador sunderland was mentioned repeatedly in the testimony made public his texts and emails indicating he was in direct communication with the white house throughout the discussions about ukraine he. As evidence is regarded is critical in terms of understanding the motive behind the trumpet ministrations engagement with the president of ukraine and the house committees are insistent he must testify a formal subpoena has now been issued calling on ambassador sutherland to appear with all these documents mike hanna aljazeera washington. Now the Us Senate Intelligence committee has found that russia was behind a social media disinflation campaign designed to influence the 2016 president ial election the Committee Report outlines how social media platforms were used to so diversion and spread fake news in an effort to get donald trump and acted u. S. Intelligence chiefs trace the accounts to the Internet Research agency that is a Russian Organization widely believed to be directed by the kremlin and it echoes findings in the report torch led to the indictment of 12 russian nationals linked to the ira russell and jordan has more from washington d. C. The report from the Senate Intelligence committee is part 2 of its investigation into illegal foreign interference in the 2016 president ial election as many people already know it was the Internet Research agency run by a man with very close ties to the kremlin that was behind the massive social media manipulation that was designed one to destroy Political Support for Hillary Clinton the democratic nominee to to build Political Support for donald trump the republican nominee who is now the us president and 3 something that many people did not know before now to destroy the reputations of those republicans running against mr trump including the u. S. Senators ted cruz and marco rubio and so this Senate Intelligence committee is calling on the general public on the u. S. Government and on Tech Companies to try to find ways to promote more transparency to try to promote ways of closing off the back doors or security flaws that allow Incorrect Information to jump from website to website with rapid speed and 3 it does call on the American Public to be much more sophisticated about what it reads on social media to be much more skeptical to ask questions to do research and not simply like or re tweet information just because it seems to confirm their worldview they had know that that might be the hardest part of trying to stop what they still say is a very deceptive Disinformation Campaign leading up to the 2020 election well lets stay with the story and get more on it were joined by moxon a call at the Atlantic Councils a Eurasia Center and hes also joining us live from washington d. C. Nice to some have very good to have you with us on aljazeera so interesting that they seems to be bipartisan consensus that russia and defeat in the 2016 election which had been lacking. Absolutely this report if not is repetitive and that it asserts that russia was not only involved in a campaign to undermine u. S. Democracy and it lays out in excruciating 85. 00 page detail how the Internet Research associate agency played a significant role but it lays it out from a bipartisan perspective as you laid out senator burr and senator warner have been investigating this for several years they have a 5 part series of reports that are coming out this year which will both provide a historical document showcasing how the United States was confronted with d one of the most important challenges to its security but also it showcases recommendations about how to move forward from a bipartisan perspective at a time when the issue of russias interference has been not necessarily on that has bipartisan consensus it hopefully will calibrate and showcase the American People that steps need to be taken to help address the threat to the 2020 a luncheon because as soon as this report states russia still interfering in u. S. Democracy and do you think the fact that the support is bipartisan which is i guess one of the biggest surprises of the report will mean that some of those recommendations at least might be implemented before next years election. Absolutely i think senator mcconnell is going to have to consider that this report is again showcasing that not enough has been done to deal and manage with the threat to us democracy from russia using social media platforms some of the other reports i think will have very similar conclusions and recommendations that not enough was done in the last administration and clearly in this administration to address the threat so i do believe because of what is going on in terms of senator byrds support and almost exhaustive detail that russia continues to also interfere and actually increased its interference after the 26. 00 the election that more is going to have to be done to address it and so senator mcconnells previous obstacles that hes created to finding some of those legislative solutions hopefully will be lifted and how successful do you think russia was at least in the 26. 00 election because if you look at what the committee you know chairman has said flooding social media of a full supports conspiracy theories so on it was trying to breed distrust of Democratic Institutions and fellow americans that really used things like race to create a cause for the division if you look at how divided america seems right now mean russias successful. I think russia continues to reap the benefits of its interference in 2016 both because the United States is still litigating the results of the election its still arguing over what the recommended conclusion should be and of course were not prepared for next election so absolutely i think russias looking at all this with glee i think there is a perception in moscow that this report will go over very quietly without much interest because after the moeller investigation was concluded moscow believes and some even in the trump ministration believe that americans dont care about any investigation that is tied to russia but i think this what this report showcases is a real need to focus again on this issue because its an issue that will continue to harm the United States in our next election system confiscate great to get you and fight on this we do appreciate your time that is much in the confiscate knives and washington d. C. Thank you thanks. There plenty more ahead on the news hour including satirical cartoon south park become the latest target of chinese censorship but its creators arent backing down.

Control around 430 kilometers of syrian territory along the Turkish Border. They have fought and worked alongside the u. S. Troops for years they say u. S. President s dont trumps decision to withdraw the nearly 1000 american soldiers is a stab in the back one that gives turkey an opportunity to attack badly that. They said threats made by turkey to attack the area is not something new they have consistently done it for years we as Syrian Democratic forces take the matter into account and are fully prepared to fiercely respond to any imminent attack on syrian soil. Turkeys government says it wants to create what it describes as a safety zone of around 30 kilometers in the site syria so around 2000000 of the 3600000 Syrian Refugees in turkey can return.

President his relationship with turkey i mean just 24 hours ago the u. S. President was promising on twitter to obliterate turkeys economy if it did anything that was not consistent with the u. S. Wishes now the u. S. President on Tuesday Morning promising a very strong relationship with turkey saying things that reminding perhaps u. S. Voters particularly that turkey is an important trading partner that theres an important value to the nato relationship that the 2 share and that there is a partnership when it comes to the collaboration of the building of the f. 35. 00 fighter jet that the u. S. Of course is very fond of now in the midst of all of this the u. S. President is also saying that he will not in any way abandon the kurdish fighters that the u. S. Has been fighting alongside to defeat eisel in recent years but i can still tell you that the shift in syria strategy out of the u. S. President that was announced late on sunday evening is not sitting well with even members of his own Republican Party one of the latest senator marco rubio who has called the president s stance morally repugnant and a stain on the nations reputation even as the president touts the benefits of the relationship with turkey in the United States there is considerable concern about turkeys actions into northern into the northeast region of syria and how that could affect the can the Kurdish People particularly the kurdish fighters that have been so loyal to the United States and the dismisses in iraq semi autonomous kurdish region with more details on the remaining challenge in Northern Syria.

N. Commission of inquiry said that women and children in the camp remain at a high risk of further radicalize ation now the white house has said that turkey will now take responsibility for all the eyes of fighters caught in the area turkey has given no hint that it publicly that is prepared to do this and the concern certainly is from the Syrian Kurdish side of what if they have to divert the few guards that they have at these camps to the battle of frontline bottles with turkey and the Syrian Kurdish commander of our whole camp he says that i saw are regrouping and reorganizing in the camp and he says that as many as 30000 people in our whole are i saw loyalists.

Lets get more on this now were joined by robert scott Senior International economist of the Economic Policy institute and hes joining us from north pushback in maryland in the u. S. Mr scott always good to have you with us on our does there are so if we can start with the n. B. A. You know this is one of those very interesting stories where politics and sport and also big business are intersecting i mean how do you see whats happening is deepening economic integration with china is it causing a culture clash with american businesses and entertainers like the n. B. A. Absolutely and i think you see that securely and an entertainment business is like the n. B. A. After all thats what sports are as entertainment and they have the players in this league are not used to being constrained and frankly many of them i think reject efforts to censor speech you saw that in the football leagues here in the United States when cullen cant protect the africanamerican quarterback spoke out and protested to respect repression here in the u. S. And he was criticized by put aside by team owners and blackballed and was not able to get a job so its been a problem in the u. S. As well as in china but i dont think that the n. B. A. Players are going to back down any more than calling capron acted in no thats like well arena or the n. P. A. Play is might not what about you know multinationals are they more likely to give in to chinese demands and sacrifice free speech for profits i think that is an entirely different question i think as we heard in the recliner your clip the apple has decided to remove the taiwanese flag from its software that google is cooperating with developing a Search Engine that accommodates censors in china so this is a growing trend i think in Large Multinational Companies to trying to do business in china i think this illustrates that theres a growing disconnect between whats in the clear pretty interest for these multinationals that want to do business in china and whats in the National Interest of the United States and i think as a result we may see us moving in the direction of a pulling apart from our 2 economies do you think that disconnect will be something that well see more when the trade negotiations that are taking place between the u. S. And china continue the this way do you expect these issues to come up in those talks at all. I think if they will i think this fact that the United States announced just today that were going to ban 8 more Chinese Companies put them on the blacklist that cant buy products from u. S. Companies theyre particularly important in the Artificial Intelligence a sector there were also 20 other chinese entities that were banned in the same list local agencies and so forth all of this is a protest against the best treatment to ethnic characters and those that she hang province in northwest china and so i think that the u. S. Is is acting in this case to move in directions of disengagement from china and i think that will have an impact on negotiations here this week thank you mr scott that is from the scott live in north america. Now hundreds of Climate Change activists have kept out in Central London during a 2nd day of worldwide protests aimed at disrupting major cities Extinction Rebellion demonstrations planned to protest in the british capital for 2 weeks demand an urgent Government Action on Global Warming the police have arrested more than a 150 people so far a correspondent shown how much a leading member of the movement shortly after he was released from jail. You spent an uncomfortable night in the cells having been arrested in the face of what seems to be stepped up Police Response whats morale like in the organization i think its really high actually i mean i came out from the prison just faces loads of messages but im seeing most of the sights are being kept the people that. I was taken with we are we supporting each other a lot and where im seeing that even though weve been arrested were keeping our sights we keeping our morale high definitely you were leading members you say of the april rebellion when Central London was previously brought to a standstill by Extinction Rebellion is there a point do you think when peaceful resistance turns ugly in the face of police action. That was one of the key things we were trying to bring out this idea of a strategy of peaceful civil disobedience and really bringing that to the forefront in terms of the actions of how we behave the police bring a lot of transparency to what is going to what we are intending to do so it doesnt devolve into into violence because it has to remain peaceful and a lot of the theory behind it is about how peaceful civil dispute is what creates much greater change there if then violent civil disobedience is the risk that in trying to capture the public mood you end up being seen more as a public nuisance the police are now much more going down this public nuisance route but as you know as a as a criminal offense because i think thats a bigger power to hammer it down but i think actually the reverse the bad because people say why theyre using. Powers against Peaceful Protesters this is an issue thats been building up of the last hundreds of years and yet were not even facing it i think people the public will notice that theyre not theyre not were not stupid i think people will recognise what the government do lets assume that you succeed in all of this in winning the public capturing the Public Awareness and imagination but the government doesnt exceed to your demands what then what next we are keeping very clear to our 3 demands our demands are you know the government tells the truth about the climate and the culture emergency. And put in place policies to get scavenger about 1125 and that puts in place its assembly. And ecological emergency after they put a bill in but nothing has been done and theyre just words empty words of the government is full of empty words and we need action and were showing one action looks like nothing iran thanks very much thank you thank you to zimbabwe now a striking doctors have defined a Government Order to return to work rejected a 60 percent pay rise saying it is not enough to keep up with soaring prices how to toss the reports from her body.
