A retirement home closes its doors to a 70 year old catholic nun for refusing to take off for having. A lot of direct from our studios in moscow this is our International Im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. All right bolivias selfproclaimed interim president has proposed fresh elections. Wants to a null the results of the last vote which were mired by allegations of fraud that led to the ousting of a us and deadly unrest in which 32 people have reportedly been killed most recently Police Clashed with people attending the funeral of a protester. When she took. Caused controversy by giving police dealing with protesters immunity from prosecution. Was granted asylum by mexico has spoken exclusively to our t. About what is happening in his country. Ive learned in my life that you never choose a position it finds you this applies from the position of trade union had right up to the post of presidency in the there is an official report confirming i won the 1st round this is a very extensive report you can check it and any time you can see the Election Results but there is an important point to be made there was an agreement that the organization of american states was supposed to publish their fishel report last wednesday around 2 pm that was the arrangement but unexpectedly on sunday morning they called us and informed us that the preliminary report was ready we requested this report and there was complete confusion one part of it said that i won and that carlos massa came 2nd but this did not prove that i won the election in the 1st round i ordered that i be put in touch with lewis and margaret but i was not connected the report was published on sunday morning i spoke with a representative of the organization of american states and told him there bade him if you do not double check your report it will cause unrest and believe me and there will be victims by publishing its report their organization of american states actually supported the kook who is in charge of everything now people from the us and whore here to talk with all got a follower of who for 7 years will believe you as a dictator i was called and tory tarion ruler a dictator but this is not so these are real dictators on the other hand new generations will now understand what a real dictatorship is. I would say that some of the groups in whose hands are going to make power is concentrated in not forgive us for creating social movements especially if the indigenous populations movement which has changed the image of our beautiful country they also cannot forgive us for nationalizing our Natural Resources and Strategic Companies which has improved believe his Economic System upon the successful creation of a developed lithium industry mr alberto and i plan to set lithium prices on the world market i realized that some industrialized countries are afraid to compete 1st in the field of Technological Development and 2nd they do not want other countries to follow the example of our economic model which is based on socialism. This is a colossal struggle im convinced of it i had faith in the armed forces because i thought that in the military there are patriots and imperialists however certain generals on the center of the highest gear they surprised me i could not believe it i had a wonderful relationship with all the military leaders of course there are good soldiers and military leaders but when it comes to the class struggles with some forget about their ideological stance and their patriotism consequently their interests are affected they lost part of their power and cannot forgive us for this has nothing to do with being indigenous or not self proclaimed leader and is backed by bolivias military and shes appointed her own cabinet despite the ongoing protests against her the organization of american states says people should support her until after the new elections. The work of the orient us the experience and expertise that is gained from other episodes in the americas have helped promote and defend the right of the bolivian people to democracy from a president apparently willing to maintain his power by non democratic means including through electoral fraud we call on all bolivians to support the bolivian Transitional Government as it guards the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to a new free and Fair Elections as soon as possible. Might save that shes only holding the fort until fresh elections have been held but she appears intent on putting the country on a radical new course. They had sent out to make it clear once again this is a provisional government that will 1st call for general elections and the legislature of assembly will have the job of carrying out the election of the members of the court to lead and i think that the one on.

These corporations and evo morales let me stop you there because you just said something thats very interesting there may be a reason for the United States government the government of chris hedges and rick sanchez for the country where we live to do things from time to time in other places right but it seems like what you just described is something where no one asked chris no one asked rick no one talked to our media no one talked to our congress it just happens out of thin air we go and destabilize the government doesnt that seem crazy yeah but thats you know decades of practice of the you know the socalled invisible state was the but its how the cia operates they operate you know completely in the shadows and they operate on the be hast of the business interests i mean united fruit didnt want arbenz around before they got rid of them so on and on and on this goes back decades and decades and decades it of its about the maintenance of empire and thats what were seeing in bolivia where i lived in bolivia the spanish in bolivia this is the powder and now they found lithium it believed well they had apparently and that is a huge it is the oil of the future and guess who wanted to control it and guess who they didnt want to control it even more out exactly evo morales said even though he brought poverty down in a country where no one else that i do this in was we want to control the lithium and the multinational corporations they they set the machine in motion.

We use those quotation in french and italian keyboards as well so this is occurring in these 4 languages.

France is a strict rules on religious displays have sparked another rally after a retirement home shut its doors at 2 an elderly catholic nun for wearing her habit reports now from paris. A nun from eastern france had been learning how to hold more than 70 if she didnt plan on changing that when she decided to cash in her Retirement Plan and move into a nursing home that didnt happen because the facility refused to provide her with it services because she in turn refused to take off her religious clothing and that hasnt gone well with the religious community here i do not see how a nuns veil can be described as offensive it is not a symbol of submission but the symbol of consecration but the nursing home says there will be no appeals the case is closed they say all religious apparel is banned at the facility to buy to buy friends is more than a century long reign of secularism a small chain with a cross that was the only bit of faith the nun was allowed to physically take with her into the home shedding the rest at the gates the nun refused the place we offered her and didnt want to accept the house rules that are the same for everyone within our homes our residents may have preferences and beliefs and they should be respected with regard to secularism all ostentatious religious symbols cannot be allowed in order to guarantee everyones tranquillity. Christianity is a relatively new phenomenon born out of frances strict secularism theres another one you might be moved from illegal with islamophobia the Muslim Community in france has been fighting for the right to wear their religious clothing in public for a long time. From the carbs to the workers to blue counties the muslims when we have women france has been through countless scandals around islamic clothing that christianity has been steering clear of this controversy until now. Charles de mer president of the middle east aid group as a west christians of the east says frances immigration problem has raised tension over such issues. Our country is beginning to forget isnt a Christian Country or. Without cutlasses im friends with not exist a tall order to serve on his results in the political debate some are using it in order to buy an already just or agents from privileged debate forms of critics for and its not a good way to deal with problems here in france the troubador always. Arrive are often used in new comos is at that time to have some difficulties to adapt to the french curvature and you know we can understand them because if we present them to french culture as some sings that does not accept footage of a total its not a good mother to assume it adds themselves to the french culture and their way to assimilate it was understand and see if everybody understands that the christian made this country now the trouble is immigration in france its so that some are getting crazy and are ready to let our is tory go in order to abide by these are. Those secularists viewpoints. Still to come ukraine detains a 2nd isolator in a week will bring you the details of a short break stay with us. Join me every thursday on the alex im unsure when ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport im showbusiness ill see that. You. Are welcome back this is our Team International now ukrainian Authorities Say they have detained a 2nd tire ranking Islamic State leader in just 7 days breaking down the case and the security implications here. Ukraine has revealed that its arrested of russian citizen who was on interpols wanted list and this happened on thursday injured told me which is a city in the northwest of the country and now lets just take a very quick listen to the exact reasons that were given for his arrest the man was wanted by interpol for murder according to the information we have the detained person was a member of the terrorist organization Islamic State in fact one of its leaders who lived on the territory of ukraine to escape responsibility for the murder all the information that we are getting is coming from Police Authorities in the region where he was apprehended now they say that he is called oh we do not have his full name yet and that he is a 30 year old male from dagestan which is a republic bordering georgia in the north caucasus its interesting because the head of the operation said that this particular arrest was part of a wider clear out of potentially dangerous individuals which by implication means that this is not a one off case and we can actually look to recent events for confirmation of that just last friday for example ukrainian authorities announced that they had detained a Georgian National by the name of shiny now he was a Top Commander he fought alongside. In syria before escaping to ukraine via turkey last year and he actually continued to coordinate terror attacks from his house not far from here of his detention was part of a joint operation between ukraine georgia and the u. S. And it was following. The shawnees arrest the questions were raised how it was possible that a man who had allegedly held the role of isis deputy minister of war had managed to go unnoticed or at least untouched for such a significant period of time really right under their noses. Some talks not just about inability to cope with this kind of high level terrorist but actually its willingness to do so critics have drawn attention for example to how. Inefficiencies within the Ukrainian Government which facilitate these kinds of dangerous individuals to slip through the net they drew the attention for example of to the holes in the legal system and Law Enforcement to a very low the fake passport trade as one of course unfortunate to corruption which is an endemic problem in the country and which of course allows for systematic abuses of power just as a final point its worth noting that this is not just an issue of concern for ukraine but also for its neighbors as we know since 2017 ukraine has enjoyed visa free travel regime with e. U. Countries so if it continues to apparently offer an undisturbed refuge for such people it could potentially be exploited as an ideal stepping stone for those who want to harm european nations so clearly a warring and significant issue but this latest arrest hopefully a step in the right direction towards tackling the border problem. The former head of the u. K. That counterterrorism Security OfficerChris Phillips says i saw has never stopped planning attacks on the west despite their defeat in syria. But only gets only ukraine that ive got a problem with this i think other countries as well and of course if you have Free Movement across borders anywhere then youre leaving an open door for terrorists and criminals that operate this round was a very senior person who knows this but there are many others that have also managed to escape the battlefield and go back to their countries so this is a worldwide problem obviously hes managed a movie they managed to claim that he was being killed so the the or thirtys were on the back foot so its really concerning it will be interesting to know where he has gone who hes been communicating with whether or not theyve been set you know. Cells of terrorists dotted around europe and across the world to bring this about they know they never this is the end of ice its this this latest battle in syria is not the end of us they consider it part will go to war in a war that theyre going to bring to us i think in the in the coming years ahead.

Deadline to give back an overseas territory term russias the Prime Minister of the Indian Ocean Island says londons failure to hand over the course islands makes britain an illegal colonial occupier and by an overwhelming majority the Un General Assembly voted in may to give the u.
