12:03 am
the level of violence is out of control the president said you cannot have social improvement social reforms without having peace but the others say that this is just an attempt to pacify some of his own sense of his own political base which is becoming more and more edgy as the protesters get closer and closer to their own part of town until a just 2 days ago this was a kind of an oasis in the middle of all the chaos we've been seeing all over some cabin indeed the most of the country for the last 3 weeks in fact today is we could number 3 since all this began barring i would imagine the kind of efforts to try to contain the way the the pre-purchase a handled by the security forces is there anything on that side is being offered to the protests as. well. well exactly that is the problem and that is one of the big criticisms why didn't the president also announced measures and the 10 measures he announced none of them had to do with controlling what is being widely seen as the

with a group of friends to look off to the protesters so they can continue we try to provide them with everything food so they don't go on friday tahrir square could see its largest crowds yet protesters are encouraging iraqis to come in memory of those who've been killed according to the u.n. about $300.00 people have been killed since the protests began on october 1st the talks are going to ayman al jazeera baghdad. anonymous protests have been taking place in guinea and against the president's plans to change the constitution it comes days after 2 people were killed during a funeral procession for 11 people killed in earlier demonstrations as widespread anger at president his plans to alter the constitution of the west african nation so that he can run for a 3rd term in next year's elections then if he does still will put the give them regulations to the. they're here because they did to take the risk the risk of
12:11 am
getting killed in the risk of being a risk to put in prison because when we go to a peaceful protest of the reign of this president we know that nothing can be ruled out as it was during the funeral of the victims. let's return to our story about bolivia and we can speak now to catherine ledbetter who's a director of the andean information network joins us from cochabamba thank you for being with us so we were in a program these dramatic pictures of a mare in bolivia being dragged through the streets war times a bit about what happened and why there was that escalation there. well we've been having since. october 20th elections road blockades from people who demand the resignation of bolivian president evo morales and attempts to break the blockades in clashes between. protesters that support and there's a lot of tension and there has been a lot of friction and there is a. although it didn't initially start this way class divisions
12:12 am
a racist element that part of it on the right the mayor that you saw are was a mirror from the ruling party from a very small town and citizens of that own community burnt. the mayor's office and and beat her and forced her to walk in humiliate her in that way so we have a an environment where there is a lot of nuance a lot of misinformation and a lot of violence and he treated and an incredible amount of or at least he had i you surprised by the level of kind of this kind of escalation of the protests or how ordinary people reacting to it when they see something as as violent as that. well i think today there was a bit of calm after this violence and it's important to note that last week there were 2 killed in montana another 30 out in confrontations in the city outside santa cruz i am quite surprised at the level of violence and the way that the discourse has deteriorated and i think that the levels of violence in bolivia are
12:13 am
comparatively lower to other countries such as this point in time or colombia i think there's a great deal of concern and it's really an uncertain outcome in a clash where i think all bolivians right now are losing what about there's an order it being carried out by the organization of american states into the results of the election and they've been urging people to stay calm and wait for those results of people to listen to that and will people accept the results when they get them. that is not clear i mean to be you know the opposition have argued fraud and accuse proud to be the odd it is the. means by the international community remember the united nations even the u.s. trumpet ministrations accords it is a way to clarify things and a way to move forward unfortunately oppositions that man such shifted further to the right the more extremist elements of the right are now managing the discourse
12:14 am
and there is a rejection on the part of opposition courses to even submit complaints or to engage actively in the sonnet and i and i think it's assumed i think that that was the negotiated strategy out of this morass and i don't know where we're going at this one ethernet of a thank you very much indeed to fail for us on the situation in bolivia appreciate your time thank you. coming up on this news hour from london and we come to saad hariri resigned to calm lebanon's protest a speaker of parliament says he'll nominate tend to be prime minister again. a u.s. president is ordered to pay $2000000.00 for misusing the trump foundation. and in sports south africa's world cup winning rugby team kick off a 5 day victory lap of their home country.
12:15 am
a french president emmanuel mccall has criticized nato describing it as brain dead and interview with the economist magazine michael warned european countries they can no longer rely on the united states to defend the alliance he says the u.s. under donald trump appears to be turning its back on its commitment to nato russia welcomed the comment but german chancellor angela merkel says she disagrees with the course quote and drastic words. tony guard dogs is a former georgian deputy foreign minister he says other european nations aren't likely to agree with michael what's really a moment emanuel micron wants it's difficult to know because if he wants to replace nature with the idea of european defense our i think france will be almost alone in this in this project because most of the member states are pretty much pretty much attached to nato and their membership especially the countries of eastern and
12:16 am
central europe also the other proposals are for a modern micron of the most close to russia and bring russia closer to europe and far away from china i think it's also a mistake because it's deeply underestimating the the the nature of the russian regime and the fact that russian regime has to fear serious much more with china than with europe. a new york judge has ordered us president donald trump to pay $2000000.00 for misusing his namesake charitable foundation trump was found to have distributed some funds from the foundation to 2016 presidential campaign the supreme court judge also signed off an agreement to close the child foundation and says the payment should go to a group of nonprofit organizations the former national security adviser to
12:17 am
president trump has failed to appear before the impeachment inquiry john bolton was formally invited to testify on thursday but his lawyer quickly made it clear that his client was unwilling to appear voluntarily bolton who was fired by trump in september says he will only be willing to testify if a federal court backs a subpoena the impeachment investigation centers where the president trump abused his power by pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden who's on his request for joins us live from washington d.c. and heidi a transcript from the testimony of george kent he's a former a senior diplomat in ukraine has been released what did he say. that's right this impeachment inquiry lauren is moving ahead at breakneck speed so there's so much to get caught up on the latest is that george can who is a state department employee really in charge of ukraine policy he testified days ago but now his transcripts have been has been made public and in it he says that
12:18 am
the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani was quote full of lies earlier in the year when he was in ukraine trying to peddle these conspiracy theories that linked joe biden with corruption and with a company called charisma that trump believed should be under investigation now trump asked the president of ukraine to publicly announce these investigations at a time when joe biden was leading in the polls as a possible presidential challenger against trump in 2020 which has led democrats to the accusation that trump abuse the power of his office wanting to get political gain and of course that he was withholding close to $400000000.00 of ukraine security assistance from the u.s. as leverage now while all of this has happened though impeachment investigators actually are not hearing from the primary one of the primary witnesses that they
12:19 am
really hope to this week and that is former national security advisor john bolton he was supposed to be on capitol hill today he was a no show and the reason that he could be so important is that he has a lot of credibility he came from the political right he was a supporter of trump and he is said to have been very concerned when he detected the existence of this rogue foreign policy campaign that was going through the president's personal attorney in fact previous witnesses say bolton called this a drug deal his attorneys though have said he's not appearing before congress until and unless a federal court rules saying that he has to comply that it's because. the white house has told its former employees like bolton and current employees not to heed the investigators request to appear when will a judge actually rule on that and what which federal court are we talking about is it the one that's going to rule perhaps by the end of the month or is it all the
12:20 am
way up to the u.s. supreme court which could be you know something that goes on for months and months we simply don't know and that's why democrats are saying that regardless of whether or not bolton appears they're going to push forward with this impeachment inquiry and in the meantime we've had this legal judgment on the foundation tell us about the significance of that. that's right now if this was a pre impeachment inquiry world this would be a huge story lauren and in fact it still is it's still something that could define presidents president trumps time in office but still it's pales in comparison to what we've been talking about but in this case a federal judge rather a state judge in new york has ordered the president to pay $2000000.00 in fines because he has been accused of using his personal charity the trump foundation instead of using it to raise money for charity he was using it to raise money for his political campaign back in 2016 and that is against campaign finance law in
12:21 am
fact this new york attorney general file the lawsuit said that trump and his adult children who are controlling this foundation use it as little more than a checkbook to serve mr trump's business and political interests so again another accusation that the president was using his power abusing his power for personal political gain which is starting to sound familiar in the scope of the impeachment inquiry and the unique position now of the president not only trying to fend off these are politically risky attacks that may result in him being removed from office because of the impeachment but also now having to pay 2 man 2000000 dollars while he's in office does your question thank you very much if national criminal court in the netherlands has sentenced a former rebel leader to 30 years in prison the harshest penalty it's ever given to gondor was convicted of 18 war crimes including murder rape and using child
