Going into afghanistan in 2000. Will ultimately suffer a great losses and the Afghan People more importantly as weve seen over these last 18 years. Hello theyre just going 10 oclock in the morning here in moscow you will see international. Believe even president evo morales is on his way to mexico granted him political asylum he resigned on monday apparently under pressure from the military and what he describes as a cook. Sisters and brothers im leaving for mexico grateful for the openness of these brothers who offered us asylum to protect our life it hurts to leave the country for political reasons but i will stay in touch i will soon return with more strength and energy since his resignation bolivia has been rocked by more unrest there were scenes of looting in the capital with buses set on fire as protests began over the disputed recent president ial election with opponents of moral is claiming fraud the final result in just enough of a lead to avoid a runoff however supporters of morality also turned out in large numbers to both in bolivia and across latin america are hailing his ousting as a victory for democracy despite the power vacuum is left behind it was done off explains. You may have heard that bolivia has lately been celebrating a triumph of democracy the resignation yesterday of believe in president ever more rallies is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail i dont know if it was a breeze in south america or if it was oblivion hurricane of democracy be here today i feel a little breeze in venezuela of freedom and justice well here is what a triumph of democracy has looked like in bolivia president morales resigned the Vice President resigned the president of the senate the 3rd person in line for the top job you guessed it resigned. The Bolivian Army and Security Forces are the only viable force left after they renounce their allegiance to the government and took the side of the protesters. We suggest to the president of the state to resign his president ial mandate to allow for peace and stability for the good of our the livia. But its not as black and white as the Anti Government side might want you to think plenty of people have been supporting evo morales in the streets and its them who have been getting the short end of the stake here to see. If it. In fact. That was the key reason for morale us to throw in the towel he wanted the violence to cease. And why am i deciding to resign so the opposition does not keep pursuing my brothers and the unions we are resigning i am resigning precisely so that my brothers and sisters leaders and authorities in the socialist movement dont continue to be held hostage chased and threatened because in bolivia morales has no one not a 100 not a 1000 supporters hes got millions this a tobar of 47 percent of bolivians voted for morality and while critics of the ballot are screaming bloody murder this is specter the Election Fraud is within a 3 percent margin evo morales a die hard leftist as believing bolivia for 14 years under his rule the countrys economy has been growing faster than at any period over the past 3 and a half decades morales viewed as the voice of the poor managed to drastically reduce poverty under konami can equality he significantly increased the minimum wage to and boosted social spending millions had no problem with that and all of them are now represented and protected by nobody really for a daily sort of a moment that the opposition is now enjoying its fleeting triumph i hope that this will not lead to even more violence because even more or less has huge support among the population when everything calms down most bolivians memory and i believe theyre good people women will realize that they have been manipulated and they have something to compare to 1314 years bolivia has experienced the highest level of prosperity in its history there has been stability and Economic Growth the elimination of illiteracy and extreme poverty it is almost a question of who won the election isnt worth it everyone knows that even moral as well the only question is. By which you were in the right are calling for violence in the most insolent way there are considerable resources and weapons behind them so if there are clashes in the streets when there are no Law Enforcement agencies when the police take part in rioters when the military says it will not go against the people were not god the embassies the palace of government what is left evo morales to do to avoid bloodshed to avoid more violence furthermore the Army Commander asked him to resign what could he do to avoid more bloodshed and violence just leave but this is what we call a coup. Meanwhile bolivias political turmoil has also given rise to questions regarding the future of the countrys resources some are predicting that rather says departure could now open opportunities for Multinational Mining Companies and thats because bolivia is estimated to have 9000000 tonnes of lithium reserves the 2nd largest in the world and that is significant as experts do predict that Global Demand for the mineral will triple by 2027 that increases been driven by the rapid expansion of certain markets that used for example today it is used in electric cars batteries for there is portable Electronic Devices and also military hardware kaufman from the alliance for global justice thinks that bolivia has been hit by the resource curse. Theres no question the washington is behind the coup in bolivia as its. Behind regime change efforts in. Every country of the particularly that has resources in june of this year a president. That will have you i was going to. Industrialize saying there are there are lithium up till now its just export of Raw Materials but his plan was for bolivia to begin producing batteries refining the lithium ion producing batteries themselves which cuts for. Transnational corporations for a profit stream. In the middle aged man he was set on fire by protesters in hong kong hes in a Critical Condition in hospital hes reported to have been attacked for expressing his support for beijing a word of warning you might find the upcoming foot each disturbing. Well it was one of. The scenes that youd see in a war or disaster zone that would shock even the most hardened viewers the man in this footage hasnt been identified yet authorities have only confirmed he is in a Critical Condition police say he was attacked after arguing with rioters footage of the disorder is a regular feature on global news bulletins one could be forgiven for forgetting how and why this all began we must take action to demonstrate to president g. The United States senate stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of hong kong the people of hong kong are perfectly within their rights to be very skeptical very anxious about proposals for extradition to the mainland so yes i do support them and have police speak up for them and. Every inch of the way the u. K. Signed an internationally Binding Legal agreement in 1904 that in trying to the one country 2 systems rule in trying to the basic freedoms of the people of hong kong and we stand for square behind that agreement foursquare behind the people of hong kong all those months ago the demonstrators objectives and demands seem to be clear as time has passed and lines blurred this has changed this isnt the 1st such case of targeted violence merely another step in a pattern of escalation a middle aged unarmed man left unconscious on the ground after of swarming attack by demonstrators global times journalist food go out bound and beaten in hong kong airport for his support of author. Jrs home a probe aging lawmaker forming victims of a knife attack which could have ended far worse amid rising arson looting and violence police. Also upping the stakes an officer plowing his motorbike into a mass of people 2 of them reportedly injured thousands wounded in clashes its almost a miracle the body count from the violence is higher some say the situation was predictable authorities claim its of voidable the protesters that they simply out of options the truth could lie somewhere in between but as the protests reach a point of no return compromise seems to be the last priority for any side. With hong kong has been gripped by unrest since june it was initially triggered by a bill allowing expeditions to Mainland China in September Hong kongs leader kay lamb and names the bill would be suspended but that didnt stop the demonstrations which have since become increasingly violent we heard from packman while hes a senior lecturer in politics at the university of bath in the u. K. And he claims that the intense violence is undermining the message of the hong kong protesters. I have seen a lot of Media Coverage youve been caught on. They have been biased and they have been also all ones either be sympathetic with the protesters their cameras or some mostly focusing on how the police handle the process that is that of all those kind of fallen soon misbehavior can complete the by the protestants because the violence has already damage the legitimacy and the popularity of the movement. The majority of the people who support it nonviolence resistance they have already this why likewise in silence the move fall from the scene and what we are only seeing in the television and the deal now these are the violent protesters. Running around in a kind of. Style and its very difficult for the police to persecute them. On the parades and wreath laying ceremony as were held in the u. S. On monday is the country marked veterans day this years commemorations day to draw protests in new york where demonstrators voiced their anger over americas continuing involvement in foreign wars came as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said that the conflict in afghanistan is far from over despite all of the promises of pulling troops and. Their efforts ongoing its been ongoing for 18 consecutive years i suspect it will be ongoing into the future for for several more years that mission is not yet complete. I also made it clear that our commitment would not be open ended and that we would begin to draw down our forces this july why are we continuing to train these afghanis who then shoot our soldiers in the back afghanistan is a complete waste of time to come home. Recent polls do show that a majority of veterans do not believe that the conflicts in either iraq or afghanistan were worth fighting the general public is similarly unsupportive of washingtons involvement in those wars the us has maintained a continuous military presence in the middle east since 2003 its been in afghanistan since 2001 the peace talks there which would allow the u. S. To pull out or ongoing although donald trump has called off negotiations several times we spoke to a number of u. S. Army veterans about this they told us that americas power projection abroad is actually made it less safe. U. S. Military veterans from all wars are very very concerned about the propensity of the United States to continue to use warmongering as an instrument of Foreign Policy and i myself was in afghanistan in december of 2001 as a diplomat i helped reopen the u. S. Embassy there and thats 18 years ago and at that time we were telling washington you only have a small window of opportunity here the us going into afghanistan in 2001. Will ultimately suffer a great losses and the Afghan People more importantly as weve seen over these last 18 years and particularly in the last 6 or 7 years are suffering for a minute as tremendous casualties and deaths were told that it was weapons of mass destruction that there were ties to 911 that were bringing democracy to the people and i felt like we were doing many of those things i think our military Industrial Complex is profiting from war and i think that we actually made our nation less safe and less secure and we didnt defend our National Security we created a lot of enemies internationally where we didnt have is as deep of enemies and a its going to create a lot of conflict and strike for the American People in our communities in the future youre watching i think were back with more news in a couple minutes. The world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal there is greater. Than. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. You know world of big part of the law and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Again with a u. K. General election just around the corner the leader of the opposition Jeremy Colvin has been branded a stalinist the attack comes not from a rival party but from an Interfaith Charity one that is receiving funds from the home office to combat extremism he says to stay. The u. K. Government is generous in granting money to various charities and organizations and thats undoubtedly good when those organizations against islamophobia 97 says im building a more Friendly Society take for example Faith Matters a Charity Organization norge to help faith communities working on integration dealing with hate crime and countering extremism theyve also been recipients of u. K. Government funding through the home offices county Extremism Program but with elections looming and campaigns kicking off the Faith Matters it seems also has another agenda as theyve been accused of launching a major of scribing the party as being a stalinist cult of korban this country needs an effective opposition for a healthy democracy labor is now regressing into a stalinist cult of corbett. As a left wing muslim i cannot vote for carbons labor the truth of course is that he has backed Armed Conflict dozens of times he just hasnt backed by u. K. Forces Faith Matters has been accused of tweeting about labor and mr corbyn more than 200 times since it was listed by the home office as a recipient of it support thats 5 times more than about the conservatives Boris Johnson or to reason may its hard not to notice that the organization is targeting corba not only for alleged anti semitism but also a ray of issues including sympathy to the syrian president Bashar Al Assad for example Faith Matters denies the allegations of focusing their attacks on the labor party saying they also criticized the ruling conservatives who have been plagued by repeated accusations of racism and islamophobia Faith Matters has been and will continue to be critical of the poor way in which antisemitism has been tackled within the labor party correspondingly we have consistently been critical of the conservative party and their lack of transparency in action around stamping out anti muslim bigotry within parts of their Membership Base now its not the 1st time organizations financed by the u. K. Government been Court Funding anti corben campaigns the Integrity Initiative a subsidiary of the institute for statecraft which has received more than 2000000. 00 pounds of Foreign Office money spread defamatory content about Jeremy Corbyn on their twitter account later the Integrity Initiative was forced to apologize that was a mistake and we wrote letters of apology to Jeremy Corbyn where as apple a tickle as we could be and the Foreign Office ordered an investigation into the matter if there is any kind of organization for which we are paying which is involved in domestic politics in that way i would totally condemn it. But it seems the questions will continue to rise as to the extent of the u. K. Governments funding for groups and gauging such political attacks especially just before an election that could decide the u. K. s future for many decades to come lou is a body of people particularly who take an interest in his National Security policy and or who are overwhelmingly critical when im skeptical about the School Policies and his past involvement and worse it seems to be far enough somebody to criticize those without hiding behind the word charity lobel just saying this is my view these or why i think what i think if you. Present yourself as really being objective then it becomes very dangerous becomes. Something that can be used again and again corrode public trust and so the issue here is less as it were we called into point of view than whether any organization thats funded by the taxpayer and says its a charity should take a Party Political partisan view point and i think thats a great mistake and just actually wrong more. Now a teenager who was injured back in january by a rubber bullets fired by French Riot Police who suffered a setback in his quest for justice a quick warning you might find the following video obsessing the incident occurred during a yellow vests demonstration the teenagers jaw was broken he claims he was just passing by the rally without intending to join it however strasberg prosecutor is now dropped the case it had been brought by the mother of the teenager we spoke with her about what happened and she told us officials have ignored his plight. It sure was and when you go mushy what is it i was told your son is badly injured the operation lasted 6 hours after that he had to stay at home for 3 months with his jaw wired can you imagine how hard it is for a teenager not to go out anywhere for 3 months nobody helped us i dealt with everything on my own i went this is called me and offered their support but not to the government im disappointed because of this its terrible im not a part of the universe movement i dont condemn them though they have the right to demand the things they demand but im definitely against the violence i was told there was several policeman who was shooting at the same time thats why they cant identify the one who shot my son but i keep telling myself that all the governments of registered and what about c. C. T. V. They are just shutting their eyes to what happened to my son as if its not important as if its just a scratch but it isnt my son could have been killed the excessive use of force by the French Police during the street protests has been the focus of nationwide debate president emanuel on has called accusations though for oppression unacceptable. Do not talk about repression or Police Violence these words are unacceptable in a state of law but going to Public Places destroying windows threatening employees attacking the Police Killing of protective helmets arriving with boats thats not democracy best demonstrators have been venting their anger against them on your macro policies for almost again the Movement Began in protest against rising fuel prices but then broadened making a number of say show economic and political demands the protests are the most violent in recent french history with some protesters sustaining severe injuries. Because theres a cut you. Feel. That. We see is Police Violence violation of the professional code of conduct whole when order is meant to be maintained some priestman used illegal methods they pooled womens hair and tear gas people with disabilities but the cases didnt progress further i dont want to accuse all the policemen but some of them may get orders from above and that should also be investigated gave the orders. Finally california has decided to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a new high speed rail link the trains will run at almost 300 kilometers an hour although critics have pointed out some major flaws. If youre driving from los angeles to fit to go by the time you get there youre pretty much half way to vegas so why would you stop and leave your car somewhere and take a train and then have to walk to where youre just nation is when you can just drive your car. Its an ambiguous money waster at a time when we have many demands on public resources. California has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars they owe the federal government 3 and a half 1000000000. 00 we want that money back now the whole project is a green disaster and. Abandoning high speed rail entirely means we will have wasted billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises and with all due respect i have no interest in sending 3500000000. 00 in federal funding it was allocated to this project back to president on a drum. That brings jobs. Here on r. T. Dont forget that weve always got plenty of stories to you on our website and you can find that out in. Without the president constant drip. Of the free money. We would have a day of reckoning and prices would revert back to reflect supply and demand. And there would be a catastrophic trapdoor opening underneath the u. S. Economy because the u. S. Wont do it for itself china will do it for the in the form of announcing as a surprise 20000. 00 tons of gold and the introduction of a gold backed crypto currency just will kill the u. S. Dollar better than a doornail. Your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know whats going to and when its going to. But they havent told you and they havent told me they havent announced. Imagine something as big as the earth. Is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes erupt and its going to chill. So very for a while right. My great grandfathers. Nobody would care about the law or prison so youd have wallace the shoot of. A turtle between the and the. Greetings and salutation from the jubilation over the u. S. Military raid that led to the suicide of isis leader Abu Bakar Al Baghdadi to the buddhists raining down on president drum during his visit to game 5 of the world series it has been headline after headline for the trumpet ministration all weekend long one headline that you didnt see in the mainstream Corporate News media was this curious little memorandum released last week by u. S. Attorney general william barr entitled the implementation of National Disruption and early in gauge been programs to counter the threat of Mass Shootings in the memorandum bar outlines the new direction the department of justice will be taking regards to the threat of mass shooters writing i directed the department of justice and the f. B. I. To lead an effort to refine our ability to identify assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike and just how will bar in the d. O. J. Accomplish this bit of precrime Crime Fighting you ask well with me webb with the Mint Press News observes that according to the memo the most jarring aspect of the memorandum is barres frank admission that many of the early engagement tactics that the new program would utilize were born of the posture we adopted with respect to terrorist threats. You mean those really fun
