is r t live from moscow our top stories france is paralyzed by further violent protest against cutbacks and pension reform broke out after the government announced plans to raise the retirement age from sixty to sixty two bankers now turning towards the rioters for making the country's dire situation worse. also prosecutors are to look into allegations of child abuse in one of russia's oldest convents teenagers there say they're beaten with belts as well as punished with sleep and food deprivation not instant neither claims. and moscow housing new mayor but the city's parliament voting to accept service up down and as the new man at the top can't see was proposed by president dmitri means may do to some of the city's previous leader after a loss of trust. now it's just
6:33 am
a matter of weeks now since police in ecuador protested against salary caught sparking what some later called a coup attempt the country's president was said to have been trapped in hospital for twelve hours before being freed thanks to a military operation but by the drama left five people dead though the details are still unclear while to find out more are two spoke to president rafael correa himself. what. a good day. thank you for receiving us here at this time in your home. as you know there are different theories on what happened on september the thirtieth both on the national and international level what arguments do you use when saying that it was an attempt to topple. there's no doubt it was an attempted coup i was support my position with arguments
6:34 am
a bit later in our country the opposition can say whatever they like is believe here that being in opposition means nine obvious things they're even ready to argue that a circle has right angles and if i died that day they would have said that i committed suicide anyway day by day we get more and more evidence that this was an attempt to destabilize the situation the thing is that classic coup de tas at least in latin america with troops overturn of a president and appointment of a new military dictator as presently possible the twenty first century there are new ways to destruct the work of government presumably a certain part of society in this case armed people's national police expressed their discontent with the new law they haven't even read to the end the law is a good one i mean all this has happened because of misleading information this discontent to serve as a basis for intrusion of political groups of corrupt to groups from the police itself of people violating human rights and resorting to torture that these groups are taking advantage of the general discontent not to have their salaries raised
6:35 am
but to insult the president to hold him hostage and to threaten him and to finally make an assassination attempt and that's clear from video recording at the moment they were not acting on their own their actions were coordinated by political groups that's where i'd like to stress those groups stayed in the shadow waiting for the outcome of this attempted coup d'etat but the failed there were a number of coordinated operations and the evidence shows that these actions have been prepared over three weeks. order to create turmoil which was supposed to last no more than one two or three days it was joined by the armed forces looting broke out as well as skirmishes and bloodshed as a result the government would simply have to stand down but they could not foresee that i would get back to quito headquarters and when they treat me in such an insulting manner when they keep me hostage all this unites the country and the police itself to see that what's going on is far from demands are a salary that's when the coup d'etat failed i insist it's obvious that it was an attempted coup but it had a new format rather than a classic why if it was manifested by obvious discontent in the people leading to
6:36 am
chaos in the stabilizing work of the government. and you are not interested all morning you challenge you know something i want to kill the president asking if they are brave enough to do so what was the threat like and. when they asked a question to the police the president sticking his neck out what are they talking about but if according to the current theory it was discontent expressed due to a misunderstanding of. concerning the military and the police but i was going to explain the essence of law my way once we arrived we were met with tear gas and with slogans get out of his way the communists they blocked the presidential building in the tires therefore it was evident from the very beginning that it was a political trap and there was no wish to carry out a dialogue or no to bands to raise salaries and that was a political scenario. this is the country's former president he left behind and
6:37 am
that's why i opened the window and tried to explain the situation as they continue interrupting insulting me as you knew that the looting and we realized it was a political track says if you want to kill me or kill me but don't destroy our homeland they didn't have the guts to do so you know later on and the coup failed we did try to kill the president which can be seen from the recordings and was confirmed by numerous pieces of evidence through my state and i was attacked. as well as a presidential address anyone can take a look at there was an order to kill the president but at that moment i was cowards to not have the guts to kill me. i want to make some doctors in the hospital where you were treated contradict the information about you being kidnapped can you comment on that please. you can hear any kind of nonsense in a democratic society but lately it was proved that the doctors claiming that were not even in the hospital time were in other words i was not there i left eleven am prayed some night and then i was found this is ridiculous so they sure there is
6:38 am
eels to harm and to disprove that if you were not kidnapped prisoner call it whatever you like why would they need the army to save the president and why then the military were fired at that the president is not kept prisoner this is just cruel of obvious facts and this is unlimited human wickedness he said that due to a number of weird cain students is the reason instigation of the opposition members actions before the thirtieth of september what kinds of incentives did him in and what are the preliminary results. for example in the morning of the twenty third of september the recordings proving it for della rail at the deputy of who's behind all this was not the main initiator is a social democratic party it's members are detained for the time of the investigation was man you can strike in quito also a few days before the clashes on the thirtieth of september seven opposition members of the national assembly made a trip to the united states where in washington they met with the ultra right who as we know financed the opposition groups activity we do not have proof that they
6:39 am
financed the events of september thirtieth but we can prove that they financed the opposition's activity interests of different people meet here the tough core of the corrupted police there are forty two thousand people working for the police and this group councilors than two hundred and ecuadorian political groups who knew that they will not win at the election and who want to defeat us using arms and also there are foreign groups who are. making efforts to destabilise work of progressive government. what problems and internal weaknesses in your opinion have been shown since events such as we're talking about. ok i mean. it's absolutely clear that even before these events there were mistakes of the intelligence agency and the government and it's understandable because when we came into government our intelligence as well as police in the military were financed by the u.s. embassy let us be frank it's an obvious fact that the u.s. embassy started to controlling then they appointed heads of police and military
6:40 am
departments he underwent a lie detector procedure i said that we should remove the person who is reporting to the embassy and the cia instead of the government of his own country colonel press media. years in miami was involved in a conspiracy activity and was called the government's enemy since the first of march of two thousand and eight when colombia started bombing ecuador those disadvantages of the intelligence service were revealed and many intelligence departments knew that much and they were in contact with the colombian groups stead of reporting to the government they'd known as the us embassy so we were to disarm those groups and start controlling the intelligence agency we were to finance it to point the heads of departments and work out a new law on a state intelligence service but it was adopted only in two thousand and nine and that's why from two thousand and nine. the intelligence service system that all the structures have been decaying and still there are people who managed to get in there it's very difficult to reform the system of intelligence so we're still
6:41 am
working on it it's clear how those problems appear but it's a big problem and we have to pay a lot of attention to that that was one of the mistakes we faced on the thirtieth of september those were mistakes intelligence and the investigation revealed later on that the crew had been prepared three weeks in advance that was. messages were sent via the internet and mobile phones everybody knew about the coup and the political supporters except the government of course had. when you talk about these extreme granted when it supported our position on the international arena and tried to obstruct the changes that are happening which groups are you talking about exactly you. know i won't mention any names we know who they are but i don't want to obstruct the investigation what i will say however is that these new tactics of the north american hocks the extreme right wing groups mainly in the u.s. but also in latin america europe etc as they don't have a central government but i will say however is that these new tactics of the north
6:42 am
american harks the extreme right wing groups i mean in the u.s. but also in latin america europe etc they don't have a central government these new tactics are indirect they don't try to achieve a direct effect by the foreign policy of a state but instead use think tanks for conspiracy purposes how do they do that they finance conspiracies and work on the inside of a country by means of defamation that distortion and misinformation we are called populist tarion dictators in the presence that have run in the elections more often than anyone else but according to them since the politically correct candidates don't win we are the dictators isn't that right they distort facts to propagate their ideology like science all of these freedom figures in other words if you raise taxes you are in danger of freedom and lowering their freedom level this is what all the newspapers are saying the freedom level in ecuador has decreased it's all a conspiracy conspiracies are everywhere it's a new way to work for these ultra right groups they no longer have the support of
6:43 am
the u.s. so now they are plotting against obama himself financing opposition groups and depicting them as independent groups but what they are spreading is in fact their ideology. mr president you and i talked in moscow a year ago over the course of that interview you describe yourself as a realist who is not afraid of change how do you become disappointed after the events of september the thirtieth what's the difference between that i frankly. yeah of two thousand and nine and yourself today. you know. i would say i'm the same person i was before september thirtieth but it was certainly an experience five people were killed and i can't stop thinking about that never happened i keep asking myself what i could have done to avoid it the fact that i was so close to death has left an imprint on me of course on the i'm still worried children write to me asking me to start smiling again i have to do that they said it was obviously a very severe experience but we know our path wouldn't be paved with roses we
6:44 am
wanted to change our country but we could not imagine it would come to criminal just remedies like it did on september thirtieth but that makes us even more realistic you know we can't afford to lose hope we have to keep fighting and keep believing that the country can be changed and that we can do it it was a heavy blow of course but we have to move forward. i thank you for your time but i . thank you very much this was a pleasure speaking with. race.
