Calling live from world news h. Q. Here in moscow welcome to the weekly recap of some of the biggest stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you when it was kevin 1st amid weeks of deadly violence in bolivia in the week just lawmakers moved to hold a fresh president ial election but theyve. From standing his supporters of course widespread disruption with protests in the capital and other major cities and recently took 8 soldiers hostage to. I. Will not tell you on the soldiers the authorities later said that 7 men were released but the still no information on the remaining officer was reva he was forced to resign of course after a wave of protests since october selection amid allegations of fraud but his lawyers supporters largely among indigenous groups were behind the current unrest during which more than 30 people have died meantime side to all this selfproclaimed interim president jeanine and there is has sparked controversy by giving police dealing with protests community from prosecution even morales who is currently in mexico then after being granted asylum that spoke exclusively to this channel in the week about whats happening in this 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 theres 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. 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 me 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 the indigenous populations movement which has changed a major 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 as mr alberto and i plan to set lately 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 cluster igle 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 serve 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 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. Exclusive talking to us in the wake me time r. T. American news anchor rick sanchez to get more perspective on this discuss the situation in bolivia with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist chris hedges who says the u. S. Has got a hand in the crisis. This is the revolving door 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 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 a government this is that seems 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 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 way just this made the news big time to choose day swedish prosecutors dropped the 2010 rape investigation against wiki leaks founder Julian Assange citing a lack of evidence the case was shelved 2 years ago but was reopened after his sons was forcibly dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in london in april that was after the country terminated his 7 year asylum that is currently being held in belmarsh prison in london then where he is serving a 15 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions in 2012 separately as soldiers fighting a u. S. Extradition request over wiki leaks publishing classified information on u. S. Political and military dealings reporting next on the old isa rally for 9 years joining the thoughts of 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 feared 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 investigative steps taken over the summer india is now clear that the oral statement testimony and support given by the injured party has weakened therefore i have come to the conclusion that additional interviews with Julian Assange would not answer d. Avid in cherry bases any decisive manner as such 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 us. That is now focused on the threat mr science has been warning about for years the belligerent prosecution of the United States and the threat it poses to the 1st amendment the swedish sex crime allegations led to the Ecuadorian Embassy in august plenty of the way he was famously dragged out of april this year and hes currently in prison now swedish charges are being brought all the time sometimes his extradition trial scheduled for february next year but some are concerned about whether hell get a fair hearing i think that is absolutely fair to say that politics does come into play. In 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. Perceiving where the u. S. Are seeking to have someone extradited from u. K. To be welsh 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 duty in the front 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 who see wrong dealing of any kind and that government is the shanshu 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 whistleblowers should be lauded their heroes. Whistleblowers do the sort of thing not for personal gain not for 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 self and no one else. Wiki leaks supporter british rock musician roger waters believes the whole extradition case is going to have to do with the legal process. Somebody banged up in belmarsh for 23 ounce out of every 24 being slowly muddied by the state because he told uncomfortable truths about war crimes committed by the United States of america. It surely purely political this is a political prisoner hes being 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 effects tradition has nothing to do with the legal process. This complex of 40 minutes past the hour good morning this is international with the weekly live from moscow a more the big stories ahead the u. S. Cancels a key element of the dwindling Iran Nuclear Deal as the country wrestles with fuel protests but while readying punishing sanctions is coming up when we come. Back skies are financial survival guide. Housing bubble. Oh you mean theres a downside to artificially low Mortgage Rates dont get carried away thats cause report. Again in the week the u. S. Secretary of state might pump a 0 announced it was on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers on irans Photo Nuclear facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal exhausted saran said it had resumed a ready made regiment at the plant from pay also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country slanderous hypocritical. People will enjoy a Better Future when their government begins to respect. Basic human rights abandon its revolutionary. And its destabilizing Foreign Policy in the region to be simply like. If you strange the United States and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing much pressure and the tougher sanctions on iran communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we dont expect anything else from mr disgracefully defense the much more pressure regime and position of sanctions on iran. For a surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices earlier this month iranian government said the revenue would be used to help the less well off but it cools the anger the boil over at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures or rounds of. Protest with. 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 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. Agreement 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 this 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 just today i want to deliver a message to the long suffering people of iran. The people of america stand with you will be arrayed in 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 u. A. E. And history has always been against democracy i mean the United States was. A country together with britain instigated the 1000 who are against democratically elected mohamed side they are 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. Or they fear the news the last bit off but 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 then went viral you know say i mean its 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 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 apparent need 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 didnt did not hear it even politicians have jumped on to the bandwagon keen to show off the shop where it clearly. If you mean. Cruz 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 with outraising out more so lets see what all the conspiracy theories on the table are the program on which i happened to hardball trying 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 over to you. Not sure so maybe another one the cameraman was to blame they were ways think theyre safe just because the king in the shot but guys is that even possible. No i thought of the theories held up to scrutiny though view was smelt a rat pluto was demoted as a planet but Eric Swalwell is now secure among the gas giants Eric Swalwell is not a candidate that you can stand behind the cover up is always 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 that 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 thought this is ridiculous i mean are you know to continue this seriously saskia tayla keeping a dignified on a sunday morning to a must the way some of the news stories panned out of the last 7 days as brought to you by us at r. T. International im kevin all in for me at the table have a great rest of the week and ill enjoy worlds apart straight after this small break. And were going to fulfill the promises of politics to the people come on you know weve all bought the truth. That you want to work. No. All. This is a story about what happens monstrous stray bullets kills a young girl in the streets. What happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be. Shocked shocked as far society we feel. We dont know shell share this truthful. End of this trial unfortunately due to the still love no children. Plan welcome to all the part the petition of yugoslavia once thought to be a close chapter has come back that evangelists from diplomatic sabotage and sarah been to the governance paralysis in Boston Heights and all of that the balkans i still struggling with the old grammont this while eagerly nursing the new ones in this period of increasingly easy peace result of yet another conflict well. To discuss that im now joined by the boston. Dodik. Express mr dodik thank you for joining us on this youve got next year will mark the turns this is anniversary of the daytona courts which back then were widely considered a diplomatic win for the Clinton Administration and about what the state interestingly now its russia who insists that this agreement should be observed rather than the u. S. How would you personally explain this ironic historical twist. Russia is the only one who Falls International law and the International Treaty in question which undoubtedly the dayton accords are going to run through even after clinton the north of Us Administration continue to delegate the agreement and it will be in line was earlier promises to the muslims in bosnia and herzegovina worth of that they would calm down and subsequently make the country for muslims as they wish. They had been doing this for 24 years. In any case they have dismantled the date and the words to the extent that Republika Srpska used to be destroyed. Of course they failed to do so but they took many rights from people like a serb scum they were the only ones who systematically violated the dayton accords with their most introduce the term the spirit of dayton rather than the letter of the date and then that spirit to try to take all of the rooty away internal serbs and croats you know ive been through an amorphous mass to be submitted politically to the will of the Muslim Soraya all. About Collateral Damage in that case call after all the reports which was when we were me. In one of your recent insidious and herzegovina i quote and im certainly created state that youre still youre living within the framework of this agreement at this point other day tonic. Words doing republicans serbska more harm than good advice is this true or no there is no doubt that bosnia and herzegovina was an experiment it goes up at the door when the dayton accords were adopted and that experiment of the main idea was to create a perfectly normal society with democratic principles from a conflict Ridden Society all out of the blue where theres risk of course this was not possible so if youre not wanted democrats in the former yugoslavia grammar which mostly in her to govern i was said to be a small yugoslavia because the relations of the same people who remained in bosniaherzegovina with the main problem in the former yugoslavia you think. Croats and muslims were the dominant national and ethnic groups in yugoslavia and then suddenly at the end of this process of the dissolution of yugoslavia not having someone powerful in the west sad that bosnia which essentially has serbs croats and muslims as the dominant National Ethnic groups must remain in place more often the main question is if a large yugoslavia could not survive in a code of how could a small yugoslavia survive or not be trying to cope. With somebody is not recovered
