Monster we look at whats behind the global success of the childrens show sesame street. But in americas longest serving leader bolivian president evo morales has resigned in the face of widespread protests of his disputed reelection moralities who spent nearly 14 years in office made the announcement in a televised address to the nation hours after the countrys military chief called for him to step down the president s of venezuela and cuba have condemned what they are calling a coup against morale as international monitors of call for octobers Election Results to be an old because of alleged irregularities a little money im resigning from my position as president in order that people from culture obama and the poor people are not on anymore im resigning for them we dont want there to be confrontation early this morning we met ministers and we decided to resign in order for there to be new elections so awful bolivia all for life all for the country. Mariana sanchez joins us now on the phone from santa cruz deal with sierra in bolivia mariano we just heard there from his who was saying he doesnt want there to be confrontation but this is already being characterized as a crew give us a sense of just what the reaction has been in the hours since his resignation. Try to send this in the 1st reaction from thousands of people who have been protesting in the past 2 weeks because of the results of the electoral votes on twitter the 20th many thousands. Many squares around the most important piece of the country with something of filling a National Anthem 9 many people overseas and likely fires and theyre cheering if you will but those also been a lot of the action beginning to emerge from political allies and supporters of the press center chilean president nicolas condemns. The ousting of a president as more a monolith as opposed to the trial of the president and then condemned the outing a very interesting as well very important problem indeed a call to lack of that are reminded people of the many things that the poor in the country poverty is do from employment yokel very visible human family and national nationalized search which helped to put together policies that help the poorest of the poorest somalia. So were still waiting to see what the actual for those many thousands of illegals as we made the. D president and a moralist will be feeling for 3 years. Now it is still remains unclear it will take over as Vice President. Also resigned she should have been the want to take over and the next one d should be the Senate President but she has actually finally on a policy of a one sign. So in the light completion when she announces. Basically summarized she is called a power source and then the opposition for not accepting this proposal of dialogue and said again that if i could have some allies to support from power saying what hes saying and she said my thing is to be a real leader an individual that know how to thank you for that were going to go live now to a latin america editor lucien human who joins us by skype from santiago this is just picking up on something marianna said there there is real concern now and questions about just what this means politically were looking at a political void now. Yes there is a political power vacuum at this hour is no doubt as many and imagined it after the vicepresident it should have been the president of the senate and its not the president of the lower house that would take all the balls had resigned as well there is a precedent in bolivia for the president of the Supreme Court to fairly in that that position if necessary but its all very fluid at this moment of a very very complex little scenario indeed and perhaps animals worrisome part of it all is the fact that the military for the 1st time in decades in bolivia as has happened so often in so much of latin america in its history has clearly weighed in and forced at all what alice is had after he added lead to lead the organization of american states and his main electoral rival capitals message had been demanding and that is that new elections and in new metal tribunals some time in the very very near future believe that once not enough for either part of the opposition and also the army staff its going to be interesting to see whether morale is stepping down is a circuit bright go or whether it is a catalyst for more division and more protest it was it was interesting to listen to what he had to cite talking up his indigenous heritage of course in a country that has a very big indigenous population but also characterizing this luciana as an attack on the poor its a call to arms for his supporters isnt. It is but lets be clear about it what is painted himself as the victim that he made no mention of lead to the organization of american states in a great many bolivians were saying in that is that this had been an electoral sprawl of exactly 2 weeks in the lead at somebody had to be held responsible he spoke about you know being a bit dim of the old it was and its 6 very very ironic and paradoxical 2 things 1st of all look at those missile. The man who said that he had won or should have won in as you know Runoff Election later on and had been himself overthrown reliable forced to resign but i am aware that this is exactly 15 years ago or so the tables at joe it will it is that he would be back so that could be that could be what is no need in our long term future of what happened but in the meantime were seeing countries not just like cuba and that is that when you would expect to describe this as it will be just a few minutes ago the former foreign minister of chile who was no friend of it would at least came out and said it that he and left we in a position of centeredness in opposition have to reject what theyre calling out of greatly institution ality and that is again the concern over the army waning moon Something Like this rather than the Democratic Institutions of the country and the question of what the army does now and the political situation of course those questions are still to be answered lucy thank you so much for that listen human then us take a look now at how bolivia got to this point in 2016 voters rejected morale his attempt to amend the constitution to run for a 4th term he took the case to court and judges ruled that he could stand on the ballot now following last months elections he declared himself the outright winner before official results have been released that ignited 3 weeks of protests with the opposition alleging electoral fraud a preliminary report by the organization of american states says that they found clear ballot alterations recommended a fresh election or pressure mounted on morale has to step down when police in several cities joined the protests on saturday he agreed to call for a select and so here on sunday then announcing of course hes resignation as president well and who is a journalist focusing on letting america at the gray zone which is an independent news website and he joins us now from washington d. C. Nice to have you with us i want to get your thoughts immediately on how this is being cost its being seen as a coup and questions being asked about the role of the military is that how you would characterize this as well. Absolutely i think theres no question that what weve just witnessed in bolivia is a military coup what else do you call it when a president is forced to resign after the head of the armed forces someone no bolivian actually voted for called on the president to step down and we should keep in mind able morales is a mandate regardless of what you think about the october 20th result does last until this january so even if we were to invalidate last the last election a vote still is the president more should have been the president until january and that weve seen him step down saying that hes stepping down because members of his party. Will have actually fallen under threat there are homes of mayors and governors were were were attacked by violent demonstrators who threaten to carry them out of their houses and set them on fire we saw public journalists journalist working for a bolivia television dragged out of their offices by these very clearly right wing violent nondemocratic protesters and demanding they stop their broadcast of the demonstrations this to me appears to be completely undemocratic and a clear attack against able more outlays and his mandate he was willing to go for elections again but then he had he said he was willing to go to elections again and the after that being weeks of protests and the off to the organization of american states and said that the result should be a nod you can go back to the referendum that was crowded out that said he shouldnt have sort of a 4th term hes hes complicit in a lot of the situation isnt he there are these couldnt be avoided. This Supreme Court ruled that abel morally is have the right to run for this term so i believe the const the question of term limits is a distraction from the question of who actually won the october 20th election and we should talk about the organization for american states which under the leadership of luis almagro the former foreign minister of ordered why has become a complete tool of the United States ive covered it very closely from here in washington we dont hear that we grow denouncing for example juan orlando or now as the president of honduras who has also been protested for years but especially over the last several months after his brother was implicated in a multimillion dollar cocaine and drug running scandal in the United States he was actually found guilty of running drugs and guns to the u. S. And that president is named as a coconspirator in the case yet the east is silent about on doras he silent about a where we saw Security Forces systematically targeting demonstrators and shooting them in the eyes and thats because the oas is only interested in carrying out the policies of washington washington pays for 60 percent of that organizations budget and i would urge viewers and journalists alike to read a report recently issued by the center for economic and policy research a very fine incredible think tank based here in washington which looked at claims by the oas about voting irregularities and and fraud allegations of fraud in the bolivian elections and found that there were no actual credible pieces of evidence to suggest that this vote was invalid 47 percent of bolivians on october 20th voted for able moralities and we should remember that able more ali came to become came to the presidency in 2003 on the back of a social movement that was standing up to carlos mazen himself he was president Vice President after the former president gonzalo sent. As that last photo was forced to resign for massacring demonstrators standing up to protect their National Resource their National Natural and National Resources abel was among those demonstrators and he wrote a massive social movement of working people of peasants of farmers into power those ben will be monitoring and youre here even if mortalities even if more allies his forces step down that is why he said at the end of his Statement Today the veto no torme not a key just life doesnt end here the fight continues and well see that in bolivia and the International Community should be paying attention because there is a possibility now that the poor and the port supporters of able morales in bolivia will be targeted with the violence as weve seen already what these demonstrators are doing theyre surrounding the Venezuelan Embassy theyve surrounded state t. V. Services theyve been acting in a way that if it were in any other country the u. S. Washington the organization of american states be nouns and be denouncing the demonstrators but in this case because they want to undermine the democratic will of the bolivian people they have stood behind the very violent and clearly fascist demonstrator and you will have to live there for some of the questions still to be answered in this situation is playing out as we speak thank you so much for giving us your time were turning to spain now where the ruling socialist Workers Party has won the largest share of the vote off of the countrys 2nd general election this year the party led by acting Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez when a total of 120 seats but fell short of a majority as a deed in the i pro election of the hard right vox pop he saw its support surge to almost double result the conservative Peoples Party made some gains 88 seats and you need those pajamas received just 35 seats who talk to john how in madrid shortly but 1st his report on the difficult path that spains socialist now face to form a stable government. Celebrations for the socialists in spain who win once again the largest share of the vote but not a majority. Forming a government will be fraught with difficulty caretaker Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez called this election after earlier Coalition Talks failed and believing the socialists would improve their standing in aprils vote the gamble hasnt paid off he will now be under immense pressure to negotiate a Coalition Likely to include the extreme left. Party and even relying on catalonia separatist parties for support. Catalan separatists have been hugely influential in this election and the last one in april and it will be unthinkable to many in spain that they might provide the key even if just through some voting arrangement to unlocking a socialist government. In barcelona delighted at what some will see as a victory for the independence cause and to make matters worse for the socialists the ongoing capital and drama that threatens the break up of the Spanish State has provoked a shift in Public Opinion to the right the conservative Peoples Party has been rehabilitated and the far right vox party has doubled its share of parliamentary seats to become spains Political Force. No one wants to see another election but whatever governing arrangement arises out of this fractious and fragmented Political Landscape it is likely to be neither stable nor long standing. Where jonah hill joins us now live from the capital madrid just listening to your story there john are you saying its a fractious and divided country that had 4 elections in 4 years whats the political roadmap look like for sanchez now to try to form a government. But when he was outside socialist headquarters here just half an hour or so ago addressing supporters he said hed get right on it from tomorrow monday morning beginning negotiations for what he described as a progressive government hes going to have to talk to the left of course theyve already indicated that theyll be willing to. Talked to him but that wasnt given it give him enough seats or the majority he needs hell need also as i said that he talked to some or all of the catalan separatists who together have had the best result in a spanish election that theyve ever had winning 23. 00 seats overall in the study have to bring it into a government but at least come up with a voting arrangement whereby they support the government on key issues like the budget now it all sounds pretty unusual under the circumstances but hes had this sort of top with the separatists before in fact it was the separatists who withdrew their support for his budget that led to the april election in the 1st place so controversial certainly it would be widely unpopular in spain and in creating an incredibly fragile generates it is a dilemma isnt it because as you say sanchez might have to look to those catalan separatists to be able to bring stability to any government he might form but it is that issue that has driven people to the right and why weve seen an increase in the box on. And as i say that is why any government that he forms with the cooperation of the separatists will be widely unpopular and yes as you say this shift to the right particularly in the last months to several weeks that have seen increasingly violent clashes on the streets of boston off to the jailing of those separatist leaders that has had a profound impact on the electorate provoking to shift to the right rehabilitating the conservative party of the people party and leading to this massive surge in support for the far right vox party as well this shift to the right will make it only more difficult for sanchez to govern with a Fragile Coalition of the left but i think it is that surge of support for the vox party that in a wider sense would have a deeper impact on politics in this country because it shows that the spotty that ended parliament the 1st time in april the 1st far left party in Parliament Since the death of franco is here now to stay and it is indeed now this countrys 3rd largest Political Force in the journey thank you so much for that.

Doctors and nurses trying to save lives in Tahrir Square say were in a White Lab Coat has become a bulls eye on their backs many were afraid to speak with us on camera saying theyre worried the government over tally aid against them for volunteer ing after their day jobs to treat injured protesters started. That is they didnt want to they are targeting us to prevent the treatment of their injured 2 days ago on a bridge they were chasing us we were hiding on side streets and they were shooting at us from home vs who they are on who they get their orders from we dont know these men and women have formed a volunteer army of Health Care Professionals for protestors doctors nurses pharmacists nurses assistants even medical students work in tents like this one spread across to where square which has become the epicenter of the protests the wounded arrive in a steady stream primarily via talk tucks which can more easily navigate the crowds the medics also venture out onto nearby bridges which have become a battlefield as protesters confront Security Forces and. This is a 1st time experience from maine and im not scared i saw them like my brothers holding injured and no one cares about them they are also targeting us with live ammunition the Iraqi Human Rights Commission says at least 4 medics have been killed in baghdad since it is a government protests began on october 1st the medics we spoke to say the people shooting at and attacking them are wearing military uniforms. We talked to Iraqi Military spokesman Abdul Karim Hala if about allegations that Health Care Professionals are being attacked the city. They are 60 to 70 people belong to 100 to group and they are reading antiriot Police Uniforms they go to the front of the protest us they are not police they are not bought off our forces disobedience on militias we dont know we have started an investigation to track them. Or how they have says these people he calls infiltrators are also attacking Security Forces. In Tahrir Square medics are now feeling especially vulnerable after 2 of their colleagues were recently stabbed in the back walking among the crush of protesters to get to the wounded they say their determination to help and heal all in need is stronger than any fear. Medical sources say as a result of heavy tear gas bombardment on saturday evening at one of the busiest makeshift clinics in the square they were forced to dismantle it they have since moved to a spot they hope is safer one doctor says the need is still great we need more volunteers and more equipment. Iran has taken a key step in building its 2nd Nuclear Power plant thats despite facing pressure from the u. S.

Thousands of people have rallied across lebanon demanding the formation of a new government be accelerated and he government demonstrators gathered in beirut for a 4th consecutive week of protests its now been 2 weeks since nationwide rallies forced the Prime Minister to resign and government concessions but protesters are still calling for significant constitutional challenge. 25 years after the signing of a peace treaty between jordan and israel the jordanian government has refused to renew a clause that allowed israel tourists and farmers free these are all visa free access to 2 large stretches of jordanian territory and that area runs along the border between the 2 countries as Bernard Smith reports its another sign the relationship is under strain of israels treatment of palestinians. There may be a Peace Agreement between jordan and israel but its under considerable strain. So these are some of the last israeli tourists to walk across the border without passports to visit jordanian sovereign territory thats been owned and farmed by jews for almost 100 years jordan is not renewing a 25 year deal that granted Privileged Access and. Will lose some of our income that we could put makes a living from these lands and weve got a deep emotional attachment to the area. Israel got vital Security Cooperation along its longest land border when it signed the peace treaty in 1994 remus to see this very becomes a very real piece Jordans King Hussein and his people were promised political and economic benefits but theyve not materialized i think its true that if thered been progress on the palestinian issue it would have helped with a way to show that will jordan i think jordan is also disappointed with the economic benefits that it hoped to gain from the peace treaty there was talk of one stage that we would have won. Out in the south a bit so if both jordan is well and is well decided that we didnt want to proceed with that then last year as farmers cultivated crops that take years to mature the us recognized all of jerusalem as the capital of israel and jordans economy continue to struggle everything combined to intensify jordanian Public Opinion against israel and these were all issues that King Abdullah reflected on at sunday state opening of Parliament Law called model or dont be thought about in our National Position on the palestinian cause a steadfast supporting our palestinian brethren to establish their independent state along the 4th of june 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital today i also announced the expiration of the peace treaty an excuse on the outcome aaron backer and the imposition of a full sovereignty over every inch of those lines. Perhaps the most important crop the fruits of peace has failed to take root here the jordanian government now says that the israelis will be given continued access to the farmland until the end of the season next april as long as they apply for visas and the farmers hope that by then some sort of longer term arrangement can be found to allow them to continue farming.

C. 10 which is not too bad which is why it will be that rain and snow mix meanwhile 12 celsius in atlanta even colder in kansas city at minus one but the time which is coming back up in denver very cloudy picture generally across much of the west against the rain pushing into seattle fail settle through areas of the caribbean the heavy rain is to the south panama on across into costa rica some showers across as a cuba into the bahamas and then as you can see by choose a slightly better across these Northern Areas of the caribbean but the rain is on its way into mexico but not so mexico city dry and warm at 23. 00.

It is. Party has lost 3 key posts in the parliament and 3 seats and a lot of people are wondering what was he seeking by going into these elections necessarily. But of course youre in the position where you cant form a stable majority whats the what does that the outlook for him now appear to be in forming the coalition does he go lift does he. To form a coalition with the catalan separatist parties themselves what does the the Political Landscape look like. Yes i think that the the latter option is not an option he has spent all of his campaigning time assuring voters that he would not certainly not form a coalition with a couple and in fact he refused to accept their votes if he needed them to become president once again so he has locked himself in a very uncomfortable situation his position now is basically he looks left he could in principle the coalition that he rejected back in april with the with a much. For that nevertheless it would require the extension of the of the right wing the party. Which is going to be a hard sell and or he would need those cattle in votes that he has been saying all along that he will not accept sure of that i dont see any other possibility there is no 3rd way and the only outcome and then would be to repeat yet once again the elections and that would be the more likely outcome is not because whatever you have this catalan issue as it is right now people joe people protesting the political deadlock well if you have that youre not going to have the stability in the country to have a functioning stable government. That has been precisely the problem for the Spanish State in the last 4 years spain has had 4 elections in the period 4 years and every time its been impossible to form a stable government because the catalan issue has not been resolved it does not seem that the results today are pointing in the direction of that resolution for that it would require a scientist to make a very bold move to accept the cut on votes or for him to tilt right and then do what some people have been hoping for which is some kind of national. Project in a weeks right and left these appear. For the purpose of strengthening. It is also just a little bit of the party has. Gone up in votes its also being pushed from the far right by and by the rise of vox and its not likely that they will accept now to tilt left to support.

The main thing people talk about here when you bring that about a father is his movement and to the people they say he was a person will displayed there and he courage about his peoples day to day issues weve heard from people who says that he came to their funeral to the sons funerals to pay condolences after their children were killed by israel in confrontations some people would tell you that he wasnt fearful or hesitant to use other means of resistance against israel other than the peaceful resistance now we spoke to leaders who worked with him and he respected his style of leadership who said that while he ultimately made the final decision he was keen to have the liberations discussions and reach a consensus among them before the session is made now having said that weve talked to other analysts who say that even though he was. Very with good topics he didnt necessarily have the same feeling of the same sense when it came to state building they criticize him for not having the utmost respect for the rule of law and the Legislative Council but here he is still remembered by many palestinians as a leading figure iconic gathering palestinians at a time where now they are split and he still remains here as a symbol for the palestinian people. We is an executive Committee Member of the Palestine Liberation Organization she says israel has. Steps towards face. He would feel a certain degree of disappointment because he had hoped to bring the palestinians to independence to freedom to selfdetermination to statehood to the implementation of but i dont believe for the Palestinian Refugees and all his efforts were thwarted in many ways what were seeing is that exemption of the catastrophe but not by of 948 rather than through wish an all the 2 state solution or the emergence of an independent palestinian state with jerusalem as its capital and that act of return for better g. s to ad facing a very difficult period now its not just the fragmentation that is a serious rift between the p. L. O. Factions and how massive it has west bank and gaza and so on and were trying to rectify this if through all day elections even under occupation to try to maintain a sense of democracy and inclusion and to give the people that i thought to choose to hold that leadership accountable and to choose a new leadership and we hope that they will be able to do that but at the same time the conditions are extremely adverse to palestinian rights. To the ability to emerge from this critical situation in which israel is expanding without limits i mean it is literally it is super imposing greater israel over all of historical palestine. Sieging being has arrived in athens for a 3 day visit to discuss bilateral relations investment and trade he will also go to prayers the Mediterranean Sea port controlled by chinas state on shipping Company Called scott johnson. Stomach this black us has no doubts about the benefits of chinas presence and greeces largest put his croup repaints ships but during greeces economic crisis they lost most of their work now thats changed. Their work has increased 5 fold the chinese were important because they came in as a large entity with money and Customers TrustLarge Companies like us and his crew are going to repaint this 50000 ton tanker the pirates port of shipyard couldnt normally have handled such a large ship but 3 years ago the state owned China Ocean Shipping Company cosco bought a controlling stake in the port and last year it brought to floating docks to expand its ship repair business costco has big plans its going to build berths for the Worlds Largest cruise ships and turn the ports empty warehouses into 4. 00 and 5. 00 star hotels costco has increased contain a business sevenfold during the decade that its been managing it theres no arguing with the numbers costco has invested 2000000000. 00 here over the past decade and created 2000 direct new jobs and it plans to invest almost another 1000000000 dollars in the next 5 years to create another 2000 jobs such growth would be unimaginable under greek state control the question is what are the political ramifications of such a strategic Chinese State investment in greece the 3 month old conservative government here has reaffirmed the countrys ties to the e. U. And us but greece and china commercially important to each other the. Institute for international and economic studies estimates that piracy is now the entry point for 10 percent of chinas exports to europe thats worth as much as 50000000000. 00 to the chinese economy but many say greece isnt reaping the full benefits i think that the greek side may not be gaining more than one percent of the overall benefits to be drawn from this project compare the overall worth of those commodities to what is actually getting into greeces state coffers and youll see that theres a huge gap between the 2 figures when chinese president see jean ping and greek Prime Minister bacchis meet that may also be a major subject for discussion jumps out all pull us out jazeera paredes at least 13 people have been killed across india and bangladesh after cyclon bauble told through coastal areas in the bio of bengal millions were evacuated from their homes ahead of the storms arrival wind speeds reached 120 Kilometers Per Hour closing down ports and airports in both countries for the 1st time in over 70 years a car door has been opened on the India Pakistan border to allow sick pilgrims to visit the shrine of the founder of their religion like Everything Else between these 2 countries the pilgrimage also has a political undertone of some a binge of age reports. Its a historic gathering for the seat in one of their holiest sites in pakistan they have gathered from all walks of life from all over the world to celebrate the 550th birthday of the founder of sikhism grunow nick. Its also a special occasion because its the 1st time in 72 years that sikh pilgrims are able to cross the Indian Border into pakistan a special temple or good water has been built in the qatar poor area where the guru spent the last years of his life. The little passage they have opened should be broadened to the extent that our broken hearts join and love between the countries increases so they do not waste time in a war as an animal.
