New interim leader to new 9 years explained how she was the rightful successor to noor. Alice i do think that we are facing a president ial succession brought on by the vacancy of the presidency and the absence of the president according to the constitution as president of the senate i immediately assume the presidency of the state and i promise to take all of the measures necessary to pacify the country lets begin our coverage with Marianna Sanchez shes reporting from bolivias capitol. Hill tensions are growing here in the center of the capital where the president ial palace and the National Assembly is here at the plus somebody york an area that is completely surrounded and sealed by police riot police and another ring of protection by the army this was. An is has been named interim president of bolivia after a long debate about whether they would be legislators would be able to swear her in with with or without the members of the mass party the party that we dont do it all more or less and his political allies now if hes anxious has said that she will immediately call for elections there needs to be that they need to name a new electoral tribunal and hold elections around of around december the 20th to be able to have a new president. By january 22nd but in the meantime a lot of frustration and a lot of people are followers of him what i list who are not happy with this decision who are not happy with this naming of the interim president and theres people protesting in the area with police repressing this with Water Cannons water trucks and and the riot police all around this area. So thats the past the capital we move. On our correspondent to race a boat. That is where protests around the supporters have been rallying right here in the district 8 this is a stronghold of abel more dallas were here because theres all kinds of people that have gathered here to show their support to the president who they say to be the only man that has brought dignity to bolivia Indigenous Community theyre saying theyre defending this is the flag that represents indigenous communities in the country talking to some people here who are afraid that racism could be back in this country they say that it will more or less change to bolivia and thats why theyre demanding his release let me show you the amount of people that have come here to show you support. This is just one road block on the highway and were told there are many many of these people are. Told. That they are also saying is that this will not go unpunished they know it all you want to know what i also want to head this is what theyre saying the head of thats a president ial candidate a position president ial candidate and also come much a whos the leader of the physic union of sound that people say is a racist. Well for start of his country by the military of omar alice is hoping to make some sort of political comeback and he will do it from mexico after his arrival he called for peace back home John Heilemann with more on that. Whenever moral is woke up on sunday he was still the president of bolivia. By midday tuesday he was out of power and the next so touching down in mexico he said things could have been worse. But i will i want to tell you were extremely grateful because the mix can president has saved my life. It wasnt easy getting him here the mets can foreign minister described the tense standoff before he could work out a route for him to leave the country were going to see he wanted to see but there were even the supporters surrounding the airport and the armed forces within it and there was a period of real tension for evo morales was already on board the plane it was the worst moment as. President morales said that a coup pushed him out on sunday the army had asked him to resign he was blameless he indicated. To the world my only crime is that evil is indigenous the only sin weve committed as social programs for the poor and always searching for equality and justice. He would deny that humans hard to extreme poverty brought Economic Prosperity and stability to the country during his time in power. But his opponents point to a growing authoritarianism and then serious irregularities in the last election he went against the constitution to run in the 1st place so its a complex situation here for a president who over nearly 40 years did do a lot especially for the poor and vulnerable in bolivia before he disappeared from view he made a call for peace in his homeland you know i mean. Finally id like to say for the not to be any more bloodshed more confrontations we have decided to resign for the people at that meeting of the scene as it meant to him and it was while i have life we will stay in politics while i have life the fight will continue and we sure that the people of the world have all the right to free themselves. That wish is going on and sit in bolivia where despite his absence his supporters and the opposition continue to clash join homan now does it or make scarcity. Just take a closer look at the rise now for love of a moralist bolivias 1st indigenous leader he came to power back in 2005 promising to fight for the rights of Cocoa Farmers and Indigenous People he invested heavily in public and social programs cutting the poverty rates in half by 2018 after nearly 14 years in office he was one of south americas longest serving leaders and a towering figure for the regions Left Wing Movement but his levels of popularity took a hit after he attempted to abolish a president ial term limits in 2016 after declaring victory in last months election he was then accused of fraud leading to weeks of protests and eventually as we have seen his resignation we have Eduardo Gamarra with us now a professor of Political Science at Florida International University Joining us from miami and we thank you very much for your time as i go through that list of his as we said rise and fall it just seems like he just pushed it too far in the end he was popular but took it too far. Well i think one of the things thats missing from your narrative is that at the same time it will more to alice and his followers attempted to construct a a single party system. That largely while it was based on including an indigenous majority it was also based on in on executing those who had been in who or who were in the in the political opposition so one of the few known facts for example was there were over 1500 political exiles that there were Political Prisoners in the country and that you know freedom of the press for example was not that free and that and that at times there were severe violations of human rights going on in this in this regime more importantly perhaps is the fact that that the president was accused and his party of extreme acts of corruption so so really its a combination of factors that lead to his downfall in popularity and i end what really topped it off was the the the enormous fraud that was conducted on on october the 20th which basically the who i think if theyre if theyre if if anybody is going to call it a coup i think its the you know the institutional break comes as a result of the fraud committed in other words a major crime right of committing fraud in the electoral process and yet he seems to think. That he can make some sort of comeback that hes still in the fight whats your take on that. Well you know its interesting because his his discourse throughout the last 3 weeks has been on the one hand to talk peace but in fact order of violence much of the violence that he claims is occurring in bolivia has really been instigated by him including over the weekend where you know were a a a caravan of students and this is really important by the way the main opposition to him was mounted by people under 40 years old very young People University students in particular and this caravan of young people in the altiplano up in the Highland Plains the buses were stopped pulled over undressed including allegations of Sexual Assault against against 2 young women for example by more alisons followers so so there was this double discord and like we saw today in mexico on the one hand its calling for peace you know at the same time mobilizing people violently so and now what have really which which moral is to believe for a riot and now we have. Taking over as interim leader what can you tell us about her and i guess what she has to do right now one of our earlier guests was saying she just i mean that the goal is just to get believe you through to some sort of electoral process again. Right and i you know the unfortunate thing is that shes shes kind of she was sworn in with a cloud there because the mosque the party of of former president model is would not show up and would not give a quorum but they found an interesting interpretation of the constitution that allows her basically in the present the president resigned the Vice President resigned the president of the senate resigned so shes next in the line of succession and then when there is absence the fact that the president left the country means that he abandoned his post and so there was no need for congress to assemble for her to be sworn in but in of itself that makes for a you know for the kind of questions that are arising now and her main task is going to be to form a new electoral tribunal to replace the one that committed them that massive fraud and then secondly just to get to january 22nd and can vocal lections now thats a real problem because an ingenue january 22nd her term expires and the term of all members of congress expires as well so how theyre going to get you know beyond that because according to the electoral law in bolivia you need about 150 days to organize a new electoral round so things are going to be interesting and very complicated for bolivians over the next couple of months and a lot to run on this on the show well talk she will gain about it as well and come out of joining us from miami thank you.

T. P. Final in. Israel has moved tanks to the gaza border fence after the worst day of cross border violence in months it started after an israeli airstrike killed a Senior Leader of the Palestinian Armed group Islamic Jihad in gaza fighters in gaza then responded sending almost 200 rockets towards israel that in turn led to more israeli strikes which have since killed another 8 palestinians egyptian mediators are working to restore calm between israel and gaza heres more from harry forces in southern israel. And his wife were killed as they slept in this building in Gaza Israeli Air strike was long in the planning its repercussions just starting to play out. Lead palestinian Islamic Jihads northern military operation a very senior figure and one israel blamed for a series of rocket attacks in recent months and that. These actions have started this morning after the crime was committed by israel markets were fired towards televisions and Islamic Jihad with all of the resistance groups will continue targeting all safe places of the occupation. Islamic jihad said israel had crossed all red lines and promised a bigger response than usual one rocket exploded on a busy highway in your gaza and the a miss for those in passing cars and for those in a bus waiting at the intersection. In the southern town of stare at a factory suffered a direct hit and rockets also targeted Central Israel restricting businesses and leading to blanket School Closures from the gaza border areas to television israels Prime Minister who is leading a 2nd straight caretaker government after a 2nd inconclusive election said his country was not seeking an escalation and he was careful to indicate politics hadnt entered into the decision to strike when he said was recommended by the military and the internal Security Agency the measure of. The final decision was unanimously agreed on in the cabinet 10 days ago and the cabinet gave me authority to implemented at a time that would be suggested by the i. D. F. And should back the i. D. F. In the shabak indeed recognize a time to recognize the window of opportunity to carry out the operation under the best conditions with a maximum chance of success and minimum impact on bystanders. There was no israeli comment though on another major strike overnight this one in damascus targeting Islamic Jihads 2nd ranking leader. Yuri syrias stake. News agency said his son and granddaughter were killed Islamic Jihad says a jury survived mahler specialist to see them all the size of the explosion is unacceptable and the idea that i think that many of his execution was so huge and it is unacceptable to hit the civilian area in such way as throughout the day the rocket fire and air strikes continued israels military said it was targeting Islamic Jihad perhaps a message that it wasnt seeking a direct confrontation with hamas which controls the gaza strip and whose military wing represents garzas biggest fighting force in a statement on tuesday Benjamin Netanyahu said that israel did not seek a wider escalation yet he must have known that with the targeted assassinations arches this and the inevitable rocket fire that would come in response the risks were very high much now depends on how hamas decides to respond it has spoken out very strongly in solidarity with Islamic Jihad if it matches those words with a big escalation in rocket fire as well and the risks of a wider conflict only rise are a force that aljazeera southern israel has more from a senior political analyst who says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is using the conflict to divert attention from his own political problems. Most israelis who know him and know whats going on his or understand that theres a personal stake in all of this because again everyone knows hes facing major corruption charges 3 of them hes facing imminent indictment and potentially hes going to go to prison unless he stays Prime Minister hen hence he has a fundamental reason to deflect attention from his own corruption and court cases and so so forth and then interest into forming a Coalition Government he failed the last time around the time before that and the his best way forward for a national Coalition Government is to bring back his old friends i think dont leave a man was even more to the light of Prime Minister netanyahu and he probably of reckons a major escalation in gaza an assassination of this kind will probably bring him back in he already brought even a more extremists right wing politician enough that he bennett and i signed him minister of defense in israel so you can imagine you have this real march towards the right wing in israel and this sort of escalation house and then there is the strategic issue of theres a ticking bomb in gaza and damascus and everywhere so israel has to always preempt by carrying assassinations russian airstrikes are reported to have killed at least 3 civilians in syrias last rebel held province dozens of air raids have been launched in southwest it leaves this week with activists saying hospitals and schools have been hit the government declared a cease fire in late august but the airstrikes have continue it.

Emergency services say itll be weeks before they can extinguish all the bushfires sweeping through eastern australia at least 50 homes have been damaged or destroyed and more have been labeled catastrophic conditions strong winds and hot air have been fanning those flames lets go to sydney now Andrew Thomas reporting for us and it looks and i know looks can be deceptive andrew but it looks better behind you today. Yes well tuesday was the day that the authorities were describing as catastrophic in terms of the weather conditions in which fire could take hold very High Temperatures in the high thirtys and very strong winds and both those things did happen but through a combination of luck and preparedness catastrophic conditions didnt lead to catastrophe there wasnt any loss of life anywhere in australia due to the bush. But there were many many new fires that starts in the rural fire commissioner said at one stage on tuesday that there were 300 new fires that they gamble or thirtys were able to get on top of them very very quickly i saw that myself in the suburbs of sydney this time yesterday just about 18 provinces from where i am now in the northwest of the city a fire started within about 15 minutes the Rural Fire Service had trucks there trying to put it out and water bombing aircraft as well they really got on top of that one fast and luckily for sydney the werent any further major fires in the vicinity of the city but there were plenty of other fires right across New South Wales and many of them all still burning now what you got to understand that australia is that it is absolutely huge and what that means is that there are huge areas where no one lives so you can have a massive areas of ground that are on fire but theyre not threatening homes or people so right now there are still more than a 100 separate fires burning across New South Wales but the rural fire commissioner says that at the moment at least none of them are what they call emergency level which means that people are under immediate threat now there were 20 emergency warnings at one point issued on choose day which gives some mixed some idea of the extent of the fires in the danger that it was but they were able to get on top of those fires and people were prepared many had evacuated in advance and as you say more than 50 homes either damaged or destroyed on tuesday but no one actually hurt or there were some firefighter injuries but no one badly hurt in this state but the boss of the rule fire service says dont be complacent this isnt necessarily the end of it lets hear from now. It will still be warm and windy as we head into the end of the week and we can expect elevated far dangers particularly into the balance of the weekend as we had saturday and sunday particularly and then theres another frontal pattern moving across the state early in the week to the middle of next week where were going to see another burst of really hard conditions dominating much of the weather in New South Wales and we can likely expect some increased fire dangers early in the middle of next week as well we will not have all these fars can timed before the end we will not have all these fires can tined and locked up for many many weeks given the enormity of the of the firefighting effort. So that is New South Wales the danger here not over yet but right now to the north of here in queensland there is a fire emergency in holiday area just to the north of brisbane and there are plenty more cars in that states what with very High Temperatures very high winds very briefly a big political debate here as well as to how much this is all to do with Climate Change the government doesnt want to talk about that they say that well the opposition says that a bit like when in the us you have a mass shooting the president doesnt want to talk about gun laws well in the same way a Prime Minister of this country does want to talk about Climate Change when much of the country is burning but thats the big political context to all of this thank you for all those updates Andrew Thomas with us from sydney protesters in iraq have shut down schools government buildings and state media offices across the country dozens of people have been injured in baghdad after Security Forces used tear gas and live rounds to disperse the crowds the un is now stepping up its pressure on the government to enact some reforms in response to the antigovernment rallies which of killed more than 325. 00 people since the protests broke out last month. Well much of the anger stems from the poor conditions iraqis say theyve just had to become used to for 16 years they say theyve watched their Public Services and infrastructure crumble and their quality of life go with it thats how c. N. N. Reports from back to. Its name share harks back to a time when this was a place people of note once lived now some say this central baghdad neighborhood about 3 kilometers away from the Prime Ministers office seems to have disappeared when it comes to the government garbage is piling up on the street buildings are crumbling and the stench of waste can be overwhelming inside the home the family says they live with rain rats and sewage.

Is trying to form a coalition to be able to form a government he Just Announced this afternoon that he has reached an agreement with another leftist party but there are never of an absolute majority so they would need to have negotiations to try to get support from other groups and that could very well include at least one catalan Pro Independence square republican which is left this leaning that would not happen of course without the Catalan Party getting something in return they have the backing of those of their supporters under streets who vowed to keep with this kind of pressure until some sort of solution is reached they say at least until spain is willing to have open some sort of dialogue with the independent.
