Morning live from arties world news h. Q. Here in moscow welcome to the weekly for some of the biggest stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you my name is kevin 1st and hamid weeks of deadly violence in bolivia in the week just gone lawmakers moved to hold a fresh president ial election but theyve been ousted from standing his supporters of cause widespread disruption with protests in the capital and other major cities and recently took 8 soldiers hostage to. I. The authorities later said that 7 of the men were released this still no information on the remaining officer was forever morale as he was forced to resign after waiting for. Protest since october elections amid allegations of fraud but its loyalist supporters largely among indigenous groups behind the current unrest during which more than 30 have died and as this is going on meantime selfproclaimed interim president janine and theres a cell sparked controversy by giving police dealing with protesters immunity from prosecution of morality is currently in mexico after being granted asylum spoke exclusively to this channel about whats happening in his country. I 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 at 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 the official report last wednesday around 2 pm that was the arrangements 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 moderate opposition 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 verbatim 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 in horror here to talk with a follower of who for 7 years will believe you as a dictator i was called an employee 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 settle it the in 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 class 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 surprise me i could not believe it when 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 struggle some forget about their ideological stance and their bad twenties 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. Speaking exclusively to us meantime so proclaimed leader janina nez is backed by bolivia as military and is appointed a cabinet despite the ongoing protests against the organization of american states says people should supported during the electoral transition. The work of the us the experience and expertise that has gone from other episodes in the americas have helped promoted the federal role 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 the libyans to support the bolivian Transitional Government as it guards the democratic transition through electoral reforms until a new free and Fair Elections as soon as possible and as he insists he simply holding the fort until the election is held but shes already putting the country in a radical new course. They had to send out to make it clear once again this is a provisional government that will 1st call for general elections and the Legislative Assembly will have the job of carrying out the election of the members of the courtly i mean that do you want. To bring more perspective on it in the week to American News anchor rick sanchez discussed the situation in bolivia with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist chris hedges who says the u. S. To the crisis. This is the revolving or story of latin america that as soon as a populist figure like evo morales appears the knives come out on the part of the empire and on the part of those corporations that hold especially the Natural Resources in a place like bolivia hostage theres been a constant conflict between. These corporations and evo morales so 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 behest 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 pattern 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. In. The big news the way you could choose to swedish prosecutors dropped the 2010 rape investigation because wiki leaks founder Julian Assange so i think a lack of evidence the case was shelved 2 years ago but was reopened after his sons was forcibly drugged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy and for all those cameras in london in april that was after the country terminated his 7 year asylum there is currently being held in belmarsh prison in london then where hes serving a 15 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions at 2012 separately and songes fighting a u. S. Extradition request over wiki leaks publishing classified information on u. S. Political and military dealings reporting next 4 years earlier today. For 9 years during the thaw and his faith an uncertain future in the u. K. It all started with a sex crime charges in sweden that could have seen the wiki leaks cofounder being extradited back to the scandinavian country he himself with he would then be handed over to the u. S. For releasing classified information but sweden has now dropped the rape case against the science after dinner issue investigation and thats get it taken over the summer in india is now clear that the oral statement testimony and support given by the injured party has weakened their source i have come to the conclusion that additional interviews with Julian Assange would not argue the average in cherry pieces in a decisive manner. I have decided not to hold an interview with him up until now sweden could have still off of the extradition now that no longer a threat that ironically means other than the impending hearing theres nothing standing in the way of mr thaw and extradition to the u. S. That is now focused on the threat mr assange has been warning about for years to belligerent prosecution of the United States and the threat it poses to the 1st amendment the swedish sex crime out of geisha and led to the Ecuadorian Embassy in august plenty of. Face with the drugged out of april this year hes currently in prison now swedish charges have been brought all the time sometimes theres a trial scheduled for february next year but some are concerned about whether hell get a fair hearing i think its absolutely fair to say that politics now is coming to. An extradition proceeding it was not designed to be a political or say that politics absolutely positively should not come into play but should be treated as any other. Proceeding where the u. S. A seeking to have someone extradited from u. K. To us or u. K. Is shaking down of one extradited from the u. S. Back to you. But i think its cruel ish for one to assume that politics will not come into play in this particular matter and if he is eventually sent to the u. S. He may not ever that leave with a potential of 175 year sentence if hes found guilty of the 18 counts the u. S. Has charged him with. But i think. The pursuit of julian the silence is that the fear is about how whistleblowers are treated by washington although not every whistleblower is treated the same not if theyre protected by the cia whistleblowers should be protected protecting whistleblowers shoes she wrongdoing of any kind and that government is a sham is basically on the verge of not only revealing the identity or getting somebody else to reveal the identity of the whistleblower but also bringing harm to that person everythings politically motivated that of the trumpet ministration as absolutely no credibility and no principles whatsoever when it comes to these things. Whistleblowers should be protected were suborders should be lauded their heroes whistleblowers do the sort of thing now for personal gain not for their ego they do it for the public good and its proof to me that. Donald trump doesnt care about the public good he cares about himself and no one else. Wiki leaks supporter and british rock musician roger waters believes the whole extradition case has got nothing to do with the legal process. Somebody banco belmarsh for 23 hours out of every 24. 00 being slowly murdered by the state cause he told uncomfortable truth. About war crimes committed by the United States of america. It only purely political this is a political prisoner hes been hung out to dry as a warning to others others who might decide that they might be journalists that they might fulfill that function as journalists by informing the public and the electorate of what goes on secretly in their name so this business objects tradition has nothing to do with the legal process. Sunday morning 915. 00 moscow time either thanks be with us im going to stick around after the break more the weeks big stories including the u. S. Canceling a key elements of the do it leader rather nuclear deal as the country wrestles with fuel price protests spurred by already publishing sanctions is one of the stories were recapping for you when we come back. So i do and i will continue objecting. To everyone agrees. Their position we must not become a nato member under any circumstances our reason is clear nater. It bombed us using depleted uranium munitions. And that still is killing our children today. And if we decided to become a nato member. We would give it a moral right to believe that he did the right thing this way we would betray the memory of those who died as a result of the bombing operation called the angel of mercy can you imagine that. Announced on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers and runs for the Nuclear Facility a key component of the landmark a tonic deal that its off to run said it had resumed uranium enrichment at the plant also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the countryside the super critical. People enjoy a Better Future when their government begins to respect. Basic human rights a bit its revolutionary. And its destabilizing Foreign Policy in the region and simply like. It is strange the United States and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing much pressure and the tougher sanctions on iran are communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we dont expect anything else from mr disgracefully defense the maximum pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran. After a surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices earlier this month the iranian government said the revenue would be used to help the less well off but because the anger boil over and at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of irans Supreme Leader byrd he described. Branded the protests as. The trumpet ministration seems jubilant about the recent protests in iran said the people of iran almost a year and a half ago the United States is with you now the protests are being driven by the Economic Situation g. D. P. Growth projections are down by 9. 5 Percent Inflation is it 40 percent and unemployment is at 16 percent and rising but it was a 15 percent increase in the price of fuel that sparked the recent turmoil. Now an economic squeeze like that is bound to get people upset but why is iran in such poor shape well donald trump has a lot to do with it in 2015 the International Community agreed to lift a decades old sanctions in response to an agreement that was reached about irans Peaceful NuclearEnergy Program but then along came donald trump he decided to pull out of the nuclear. He says that iran broke the spirit of the deal however International Observers say that iran fully complied as of today i can state that iran is implementing its. Commitments after pulling out of the deal the Trump Administration began imposing sanctions on iran intended to wreck their economy accusing iran of quote destabilizing activities around the region the usa even threatened to impose sanctions on other countries that dared to buy iranian oil anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the United States im asking for world peace nothing less. Weare ready to impose sanctions on any activity subject to restrictions after the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015 iran was exporting roughly 2500000. 00 barrels of oil per day now that number is down to roughly 200000 in a country where the economy is centered around state run oil exports thats a pretty big financial loss and it has been detrimental cuts in fuel subsidies and other benefits for the population had to be made so i dont know top arena fish use have sat down and made a decision for the country based on expert assessments his decision must be executed. But according to donald trump working to economically ruin iran makes him the best friend of the iranian people nothing says i love you like bleeding someone dry yes cool nations to support irans people as they struggle to reclaim. Their religious and rights is. Today i want to deliver a message to the long suffering people of iran. The people of america stand with you will the arabian people return to the nations proud roots as a center of civilization culture and wealth where their people can be happy and prosperous once again the United States throughout the history has always been against democracy i mean the United States was the country together with instigated that 1000 who were against democratically elected mohamed side there right now its no different i mean the United States has imposed a very severe sanctions on iran which is worth a lot of the ordinary so coming out and say that they support these people is hypocritical. Little bit of fun in the news the last 7 days something a bit offbeat yet another week of trump impeachment saga in the u. S. Started with a rather embarrassing incident during a t. V. Interview with a democratic lawmaker which instantly went viral as these things do i did it so bizarre way its highlighted the divisions in american politics. More so than at the washington is thick with intrigue contriver see the public hearings in the latest trump impeachment saga into their 2nd week and Everyone Wants to know how has he done it will this be the straw that finally breaks the camels back the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help with an election that cant be right guys i think weve got the wrong sound bite in the. What really. Ok no apparently that is right. Fought gate is on everyones lips democratic representative eric was weighing in on the ongoing impeachment hearings when he dropped dropped an explosive bomb on m s n b c youd think that one world human stuff happens move on and to the president of the United States of america could possibly be impeached potentially just the thought in the countrys history but no the scandal over that quick moment is refusing really. To blow over and Mainstream Media is leading the charge trying to get to the bottom of it im really sorry about the but i have to ask if this was you or someone in the studio it was not me and i didnt hear it when i was speaking you look like you heard it and. I guess i did not hear it even politicians have jumped on to the bandwagon keen to show off the shop where it. Cutely. Through 1st. If you mean. Cruise made a rookie error and forgot that he too had been involved in the story that also rippled far and wide to show you senator and thank you for keeping it clean you know without tracing out more so lets see what all the conspiracy theories on the table are the program on which happened hardball tried to cover up its tracks and said it was just the presenter scraping his mug across the table to which swalwell took a leaf out of trumps book and breathed a sigh of relief but lets test that one out neal over to you. Not sure so maybe another one the cameraman was to blame they were wise think theyre safe just because theyre in the shot but guys is that even possible you know. Neither of the theories held up to scrutiny though view was smelt a rat pluto was demoted as a planet but eric swallow is now secure among the gas giants. Is not a candidate that you can stand behind the cover of is own worries worse than a crime so while iran faces protests bolivia it faces a coup trump faces possible impeachment and the u. K. Faces and not the string of practice it delays the media follows its very funny excellent nose for stories lets see when this one runs out of gas ok this is ridiculous i mean are you know you can talk about this seriously and.
