water trucks 2 and 6 and riot police all around this area. meanwhile supporters of the ousted president in the moralez are expressing outrage i'm condemning what they're calling a coup al-jazeera stories a boat has more. the past few days have not been easy for people in. olivia's 1st indigenous leader in what alice was forced to resign when the organization of american states or always yes and now fraud had been committed in the presidential election. the military requested that he step down he supporters denounce it is a call. for running wanka morales was the man that gave them dignity after years of discrimination. in these years we have seen change we have seen our lives get better i'm young but i've seen how indigenous people have suffered in this country now these racists the ones that burn our flag want to shut us down people around

gree because everyone else opponents burned their woodpile a flag which represents indigenous communities here there are roadblocks everywhere in these days as more or less supporters vowed to continue the push for his return from mexico there's been chaos since he stepped down forcing the police to request the help of the army to restore order in the city the sight of fighter jets flying overhead is making people even more furious. people are. writing down. all of them are. not going to. write me i'm more civil. and interim president as anyone yes was sworn in by bolivia's opposition on tuesday in an attempt to fill the power vacuum her supporters celebrated her designation this government the winner who we are facing a presidential succession brought on by the vacancy of the presidency and the

absence of the president according to the constitution. as president of the senate i immediately assumed the presidency of the state and i promised to take all of the measures necessary to pacify the country but the assembly meeting happened without the presence of ever more movement towards socialism party congresswoman assume that. they will not cooperate with those who carried out a call does anyone i'm a little. we are not that a family because we are not giving cardroom and we want to recognize her as a president the florist our own senators to escape and step down. even though more or less is accused of fraud and violating the constitution people will see him as the man who changed bolivia for good many are dreading their return of the racism they faced in the past and that's why many say he's resignation hurts them even more. and.

well forced out of his country by the military morale is having to make a political comeback from mexico after his arrival he called for peace back home to home and has more than that. whenever morales woke up on sunday he was still the president of bolivia. by midday tuesday he was out of power and the next hour touching down in mexico he said things could have been worse. i want to tell you we're extremely grateful because the mix can president has solved my life. it wasn't easy getting him here the mets can foreign minister described the tense standoff before he could work out a route for him to leave the country we're going to see he wanted to see but there were even the supporters surrounding the airport and the armed forces within it and there was a period of real tension in the morale as was already on board the plane it was the worst moment as. president morales said that

a coup pushed him out on sunday the army had asked him to resign he was blameless he indicated. to the. 'd world my only crime is that evil is indigenous the only sin we've committed as social programs for the poor and always suiting for equality and justice. he would deny that you must have the extreme poverty and brought economic prosperity and stability to the country during his time in power. but his opponents point to a growing authoritarianism and then serious irregularities in the last election he went against the constitution to run in the 1st place so it's a complex situation here for a president who over nearly 40 years did do a lot especially for the poor and vulnerable in bolivia before he disappeared from view he made a call for peace in his homeland. finally i'd like to say for the not to

be any more bloodshed or more confrontations we've decided to resign for the people . if i make it to the sea this in a minute while i have life we will stay in politics while i have life the fight will continue and we sure that the people of the world have the right to free themselves. from all. that wishes going on answered in bolivia where despite his absence his supporters and the opposition continue to clash join home and how does it or make scarcity. protesters in hong kong automaton commuters for a 3rd day demonstrators are blocking major roads in the city i'm trying to shut down train stations have also set up barricades at the chinese university the scene of violent protests a day any tension has been running high since police shot one demonstrator at close range on monday but given the pollen joins us live now from hong kong did this i'll be honest on many of the transportation services have also been shut down tell us
