Palestinian militant group to return fire with rockets. Hello and a very good evening to you watching r. T. International. Russias foreign minister is in the french capital this tuesday attending the paris peace for its an event aimed at promoting better global governance. Drawing on the subject of global responsibility. The west is pretty much playing to be blamed for everything. No. Just mistakes 12 very strong speech by the Russian Foreign minister outlining his a vision of whats happening in the at the moment and talking about some of the issues of what he sees as the way that the west has viewed itself in the past and how he views itself in the presence in terms of its global domination he said that the west needs to take responsibility for its actions to understand its domination of World Affairs has been melting away and it said that he needs to accept that the world of the fee change is a centric world in fact he even went as far as accusing the west of preventing this from taking place of course. Because for more than 500. 00. More than 5 centuries they done in the Political Economic and. Cultural civilizational life on this planet. As this objective. Breaks well he also was talking about some of the recent events over the last few weeks he talked about catalonia he talked about things that were happening in behavior of course the resignation of i know the former president evo morales and he talked about the fact that the intervention there wasnt the pointed finger being pointed at russia russia hasnt been accused of meddling in any of these countries but he suggested that essentially somebody else was somehow have not been accused of the coup in bolivia and this is strange so something discrepancy in the minds of those who normally a great job political agenda i believe that it is very unfortunate what we see in iraq it is very unfortunate. Stage. But dont forget that. The people still through. The American American invasion we also saw a little bit of humor from the Russian Foreign minister he was asked during the questioning session how is russia preparing for the 2020 us election he talked a lot about the u. S. Today so i wondered the president ial elections are coming up in 2020 russia getting ready for that. We will resolve the problems on tour. But the main thoughts of Sergey Lavrov at the paris peace conference was the fact that just to respond to the Global Demands to global conflicts that countries need to Work Together and that means that the way forward is upon the centric way forward and not the dominance of the west. Bolivian president evo morales has arrived in mexico have to he was a granted political asylum he resigned on monday apparently under pressure from the military in what he described as a coup and gave a speech shortly after landing. Again id like to say that i stepped down in order to avoid bloodshed and for the confrontation im grateful to mexico for saving my life why do i say this i was warned by my security that people would hand me you in exchange for 50000. 00 and thats why i think the mexican president. Protests in bolivia 1st began over the recent president ial election amid claims of vote rigging since morale as his resignation at the weekend to bolivia has been rocked by yet more unrest there was scenes of looting in the capital and locals have been forced to build barricades and stand guard over the homes. As the must be he learned honest as were watching our homes because theres a lot of vandalism that is happening in our area since last night he began to loot this story to see around us the criminal history just surrounding area we had to come out to defend it. Is there yet isnt since yesterday the looting has begun in the Streets Police and fire stations were torched a 100 shops cars buses everything was burned in my district looters began to intimidate us the more supportive the morale is of turned out in large numbers both in bolivia and across latin america some are hailing is our thing as a victory for democracy despite the power vacuum left behind. The resignation yesterday of believe in president ever morales is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua that 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. For president of ecuador Rafael Correia believes that once the dust settled for bolivians will realize theyve been manipulated. Pretty day for a day and 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 and i believe theyre good people will realize that they have been manipulated they have something to compare the 1314 years bolivia has experienced the highest level of prosperity in its history there has been stability Economic Growth the elimination of illiteracy reduction extreme poverty it is almost a question of who won the election isnt worth it everyone knows that evo morales won the only question is the margin by which he won and the right are calling for violence in the most insulin 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 State Part in riot is 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 the organization of american states not only allowed this but is also part of this coup the organization of american states has always been a tool in the hands of the us it is time for us Latin Americans to create something of our own because we cannot continue to resolve disputes in washington or even worse in the organization of american states. Well bolivias phillips who turmels given rise to questions regarding the future of the countrys resources some of predicting role is his departure could now open opportunities for multinational mining companies. Believe is estimated to have 9000000. 00 tons of lithium reserves the 2nd largest on the planet and thats just one like if other sites around the country may contain up to half of the worlds entire lithium deposits that significant experts predict Global Demand for the chemical element will triple by 2027 now that increase is being driven by the rapid expansion of certain markets that used lithium today the electric cars batteries for various portable Electronic Devices and military hardware kathlyn from the alliance for global justice think that bolivia has been hit by the resource curse. There is no question that washington is behind the coup. Behind regime change or 1st. Every country is. Particularly that has resources in june of this year. That will have you it was going to be. Industrial. There. Its just export of Raw Materials but his plan or was for bolivia to begin to produce and batteries refining the lithium and producing batteries themselves which cuts. Transnational corporations for a profit stream. Because this Health Ministry claims 7 palestinians have been killed and over 30 others wounded amid an ongoing exchange of rocket fire between Palestinian Militants and israel told includes a leading commander of Islamic Jihad who was killed on monday night during an israeli air raid on the gaza strip study this as the nations been rarely conducted by television in recent years. Shortly after the israeli assault the Palestinian Militant Group responded launching a silva of rockets across the border hitting television surrounding cities border between israel and gaza as being closed to live says its continuing to target Islamic Jihad locations on the loose correspondent paula details. But this way the army has confirmed that its most wanted man in gaza and in fact the most wanted man internationally was assassinated just over midnight in the gaza strip now he is the leader of the Islamic Jihad militant group abu atta and the strike occurred in the early hours of this morning we understand that an additional person was killed initial reports suggest that it was his wife and that 2 other people has been injured after the strike on a house in the east of gaza now dozens of rockets have been fired into israel primarily southern and Central Israel in response the israeli army saying that by 9 oclock this morning some 50 rockets had been fired at the country with its iron dome intercepting some 20 the 1st rockets were fired to tell of river around 8 oclock this morning i was out on the streets and this is rush hour all the traffic came to a quick standstill the buses moved over to the side of the highways and people quickly disembarked and lay on the floor so that they would have a protection between the buses and the steel bars of the highway on the other side so the situation here in israel is extremely tense the reserve units have been called up people have been told to open their bomb shelters and People Living in the south and say into the country have been told to stay home and not go to work and unless they have essential jobs now the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has said that this leader was a commander who was poised to launch. Imminent attacks against israel take a lesson in the past year this arch terrorist was the main generator of terrorism from the strip initiated planned and carried out many attacks he fired hundreds of rockets at communities in the gaza periphery whose suffering we havent ignored he was in the midst of quoting additional attacks these very days he was taking bomb i want to clarify israel is not interested in an escalation but we will do everything necessary to defend ourselves and im not saying it in advance it could take time it takes calm and cool headed this we must allow the army to do its work. Now the Islamic Jihad has vowed to take vengeance on his desk theyve issued a statement to us and this is despite israels warning from us not to get involved situation there is extremely tense now all of this comes as a separate attack on the damascus home of a nother Islamic Jihad a political leader took place also in the early hours of the small and according to Islamic Jihad the son of the commander was killed in a blaming the israeli army as of yet theres been no comment no response from the Israel Defense forces syrian media is reporting the attack they say that 2 people were killed and 6 people were wounded but at this stage they are not saying who was killed and who is responsible for this assassination indicates a resumption in the israeli policy of targeted assassinations. Former i. D. F. Colonel great shows we are on the line now good evening to you why was do you think. Value target and when was it worth the targeting of knowing that it was going to bring about further conflict as were seeing. Here is a command the Organization PalestinianIslamic Jihad. Executed. Only last week he was behind because that would launch of the israel that he planned to do war and as the Prime Minister benjamin as we all said was. The idea of the government of israel did what they had to do to stop from dive bomb to explore on all civilians later on. Naftali bennett spin appointed the new defense minister for israeli hes known for want to get tougher stance on Palestinian Militants is this a signal of tell of it becoming more more aggressive in its policies. Well i dont know who is going to be more aggressive or not we as citizens in israel we are dealing with a terror entity in the gaza strip though disturbing to see hamas there are controlling another 49 terror organizations in the gaza strip. On one hand there are a lot of problems there and they need to deal with those problems they are responsible on 2100000 palestinians in gaza and on the other hand launching an attack in israel so there is a certain reality of the catch 22 when it comes to gaza saw maybe people thought about is dealing a tough hand with other people with other causations but they need to see the consequences of anything that will happen because next year the gaza strip is entry into a crisis to a huge crisis so you need to think in any response will be in a strategic respond to understand what will be the consequences what do you think the response of the mass will be in this set of circumstances. Well i think hamas already responded hamas clear that they are not going to stop in the revenge on israel meaning in arabic. We are not behind. Mortars and rockets. Page are shooting into israel we are not going to stop them because they need to show unity on the other hand actually they are saying dont hit us if you want to hit somebody its hit them because hamas are dealing with the way a much bigger problem in gaza there are many things behind the curtain on the last weeks between hamas. Egypt and probably israel to see how can we or how can we all deal with the huge problems in the gaza strip the israeli Prime Minister says his country is not seeking comfort taishan but is not undermined somewhat by actions like this the killing of a lot. While i think both sides are trying to avoid. Another war or another round of escalation. The Prime Minister benjamin else said it and i think by hamas the collaboration does not going to stop any revenge its if it means we are not going to interfere if you want to. Back you should get it back but dont hit us it means they also want to avoid another round of escalation both sides actually want the same thing. Coming and. Yacob over it shes my guest from i. D. F.
