Secretary of state graham told his the paul top are going my protests. To. A warm welcome you watching the weekly here on r C International bringing you all the latest world news and a roundup of the stories that shape the week but 1st amid weeks of deadly violence in bolivia lawmakers have moved to hold a fresh president ial election but have barred ousted eva morales from standing his supporters have caused widespread disruption with protests in the capital and other major cities and recently took 8 soldiers hostage to. I. Think. Your story is latest that the 7 of the men were released but theres still no information on the remaining officer even marauders was forced to resign after a wave of protests following octobers election amid allegations of fraud but its his loyalists supporters largely among indigenous groups who are behind the current unrest during which more than 30 people have died and selfproclaimed interim president as house or selves box control of a city by giving Police Beating with protesters immunity from prosecution. If morality is currently in mexico after being granted asylum spoke exclusively to r. T. About whats 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 president 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 the official 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 hugo bonser 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 as for t. V. 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 realize though 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 the imperialists however certain generals on the center of the highest bear 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 struggle 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 r. T. American news anchor rick sanchez discussed the situation in bolivia with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist chris hedges to say i think u. S. Has 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 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 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. And shes 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 it was forcibly dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in london in april that came about after the country terminated his 7 year asylum that as knowledge is currently being held in belmarsh prison in the british capital where hes serving a 15 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions and 2012 separately the australian is fighting a u. S. Extradition request over wiki leaks is publishing of classified information on american political and military dealings reporting next. For 9 years judy the science of faith of uncertain future in the u. K. It all started with sex crime charges in sweden that could have seen the wiki leaks cofounder being extradited back to the scandinavian countries he himself said he would then be handed over to the u. S. For releasing classified information that sweden has now dropped the rape case against the silent after dinner issue investigation and investigative steps taken over the summer in the autumn 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 argue or d. Avid in cherry pieces in a decisive manner as such i have decided not to hold an interview with him up until now sweden could have still off to a science extradition now that votes no longer a threat that ironically means other than the impending hearing theres nothing standing in the way of mr saunders extradition to the us. 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 allegations led to the Ecuadorian Embassy in august 2012 from where he was famously dragged out of april this year and hes currently in prison now swedish charges have been dropped all the tension time says extradition 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 political or say that politics absolutely positively should not come into play this should be treated as any other. Proceeding where the u. S. Are seeking to have someone extradited from u. K. To the 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. Im. Im. Ill. During election. The pursuit of julian the scientists that the fear is about how whistleblowers are treated by washington almost every whistleblower is treated the same not if theyre protected by the cia whistleblowers should be protected protecting whistleblowers who see wrongdoing of any kind in our government is essential 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 at 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 store 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 self and no one else we can expose and which is rock musician roger waters told r. T. The whole extradition case has nothing to do with legal terms that somebody banged up in belmarsh for 23 ounce out of every 24 being slowly murdered by the state because he told uncomfortable truths about crimes committed by the United States of america. Exposed 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 of becks tradition has nothing to do with the legal process. Polls in hong kong have closed this sunday where theres been a rare called turnout in local elections the 1st since the mass anti beijing protests began in june has been seen as a litmus test for one congress chief executive kerry lown over how shes handled months of violence on less counting is underway with the results expected to be officially announced early on monday earlier we spoke to benjamin chair from the Shanghai International banking and finance institute tuesdays the vote has provided much breathing space from the protests they used and most. Ask why more on her security measures or. With coat pockets last week words on the other hand both sides can actually call for a ceasefire today encouraging law and order back to the city at least for today people have lost their mind. The actions and reactions of the rioters are highly coordinated contrary to the cream having no mastermind behind. Last most of this election is not directly impact much the majority of the council nor that you actually commit to for the next chief executive so expect why do you go on respect that you actually results expression of ultimate intention of this is really not just about the welfare of course but on a Global Political competition between powerful nations. The u. S. Secretary of state mark pompei announced on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers on irans for dont Nuclear Facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal it comes out as ron said it has resumed the process of uranium enrichment at the plant pompei also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country has slammed as hypocritical. Iranian people enjoy a Better Future when their government begins to respect basic human rights abandons its revolutionary. Posture and its destabilizing Foreign Policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation but. It is strange that the United States and its officials who have committed the greatest crimes by imposing maximum pressure on the toughest sanctions on iran are communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we dont expect anything else from mr pompei or he disgracefully defends the maximum pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran. The unrest broke out after a surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices earlier this month the rainy and governments that the revenue would be used to help the less well off but anger boiled over at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of a wrong Supreme Leader and he described the rioting as sabotage and brown that the protesters hooligans he was arties. The trumpet administration seems jubilant about the recent protests in iran. 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 50 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 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 speak 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 iranian officials 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 reigning in history has always been against democracy i mean the United States was the country together with britain instigated the 1000 who are democratic the effect that mohamed aside there right now its no different i mean the United States has imposed very severe sanctions on iran which is 1st a lot of ordinary so coming out and saying that they support these people is hypocritical. Yet another week of the trump impeachment saga in the u. S. Started with an embarrassing incident during a t. V. Interview with a democratic lawmaker which is then he went viral and its a bizarre way it highlighted the divisions in american politics. More so than at the washington is thick with intrigue and could travesty the public hearings in the late to strum 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 apparently that is right. What 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 though that while 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 meeting 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 even to show off the shop where it could be when i didnt. If you me. 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 without tracing out more so lets see what all the conspiracy theories on the table are the program on which i happened hardball tried to cover up its tracks and said it was just the presenter scraping his mug across the table to which swore while took a leaf out of trumps book and breathed a sigh of relief but lets test that one out neil over to you. Not sure so maybe another one the cameraman was to blame they were wise think theyre safe just because the king in the shot but guys is that even possible no. No i thought of the theories held up to scrutiny though viewers smelt a rat pluto was demoted as a planet which eric swallow is now secure among the gas giants. Is not again it is 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 pranks it delays the media follows its very funny excellent nose for stories lets see when this one runs out of gas ok but this is ridiculous i mean are you know you can talk about this seriously and. Thanks for joining us here in r. T. International were back at the top of the hour. The world is driven by shaped by one person. The dares thinks. We dare to ask. This is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. What happens to her family and daughters in florida the mother daughter is various and terry is healing 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 course the be. Shocked shocked as far as we feel. We dont know still just for the. End of this trial unfortunately you truly will still love no chill just. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and. Or somehow want to. Have to go right to be close to slightly before. 3 of the more people. Interested in the waters of. This. Planet welcome to all the part of the petition of yugoslavia once thought to be a colossal chapter has come back with a vengeance from diplomatic sabotage within serbia and kosovo to the governance paralysis in bosnia and hard to hold in that the balkans us still struggling with the old grammont as well eagerly nursing the new ones in this period of increasingly easy peace of result of yet another conflict well to discuss that im now joined by the bosnian serb leader dodik. Mr dodik thank you for joining us on the ship got next year will mark the turn sophist anniversary of the diatonic chords 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 these agreement should be observed rather than the u. S. How would you personally explain this ironic historical twist. Russia is the only one who false International Law and International Treaty in question which undoubtedly the dayton accords are going to throw out even after clinton the north the Us Administration continue to derogated the agreement and he will be in line was earlier promises to the muslims and bows to god another word for the day would calm down serbs the. 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 extend that Republika Srpska used to be destroyed. Of course if they fail to do so but they took many rights from the political serbska and 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 internists more serbs and croats you know ive been to the more 1st mass to be submitted politically to the will of the muslims soraya you know supporter of the. Collateral damage in that case call after all he would talk fortress will be with me. In one of your recent insidious so you could post in herzegovina i quote an absurdly created state if youre still living within the framework of this agreement this point other daytona courts are doing republicans serbska more harm than good most of this. Remember there is no doubt that bosnia and herzegovina was an experiment it goes up at the top of it on the dayton accords were adopted in that experiment of the main idea was to create a perfectly normal society of democratic principles from a conflict Ridden Society all out of the blue. Of course this was not possible so if you not want to democrats in the former yugoslavia 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 were 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 someone powerful in the west sad but bosnia which essentially has serbs croats and muslims as the dominant National Ethnic groups. And in place of the record more often the main question is if a large yugoslavia could not survive in the cold how could a small yugoslavia survive were not prevented. Somebody is not recognized by the agreement were formed for such as the Peace Implementation Council one that is not only dayton accords. It has taken over the Decision Making process on the battle the International Community in relation to bosnia and herzegovina. And it introduced a special way of governing in the last 15 years the neighboring the ambassadors of the countries of that council to meet in sarajevo and decide what to do most in herzegovina
