12:01 am
to international news live from moscow this is our sea with me u.s. ship of allah thanks for joining it's a u.s. based trade and security organization is urging similar blocks not to isolate perich why in the wake of last month's ousting of president fernando lugo some have suspended the country saying such an institutional coup threatens democracy is across the americas oxys tannish language channel talks to fernando lugo in his first a major interview since he was deposed again and she cannot report. many describe what happened in pair of wires a quick and quiet revolution the country's democratically elected president was voted out of office by the parliament in a trial which lasted a few hours for poor performance as the opposition said paraguayans neighbors in latin america called it an institutional that threatens democracies around the region just three hours and paraguayans predominantly right wing parliament voted for an on a little out of office analysts say it's partly because these powerful opposition
12:02 am
didn't like the fact that president bush who was working to expand trade in partnership with other latin american countries like or of venice well argentina brazil as of now regional trade groups you know sore and marcus or suspended pair of y. because of president bush the impeachment in an exclusive interview with my colleague from r t spanish wise ousted president fernando lugar told us that he was basically threatened by the opposition to accept the terms of this parliament trial he said he was warned that if he didn't stand the trial the military and some of the opposition groups would take to the streets with weapons and create havoc take a listen report. was being prepared the intelligence service told us that more killings like in the could it district were going to happen this time will be much more serious. i don't want to drop you want to be violence that is why we went alone it was illegal and bruce's so for nona lugo essentially says that he accepted
12:03 am
this snappy trial to avoid provocations and eventually blood on the streets and this is most interesting because parent why could be an example of how even the threat of a provocation can be used as a tool to remove a democratically elected leader. and we'll show the full interview with park wise ousted president fernando luger later said state your knowledge he says stay tuned and let's not talk to james corbett at seven depended on that side of the court but a reporter james thanks for joining us great to have you as always so why does this the washington based trade and security group want to keep park why it before it's election in twenty thirteen while other regional trade groups consider what happened in the country. well the official word from secretary-general jose miguel insulza is that this is about not trying to contribute to the political instability that's currently taking place in paraguay which i suppose there may be
12:04 am
a logic to that obviously the aid that comes from the u.s. and other organizations is is important to paraguay at this moment specifically so so it is in one sense we contribute tribute to that but i think that the more cynical level we can see that there are economic incentives to making sure that paraguay doesn't fall out of the fold in terms of international trade and we can see that for example in a microcosm canadian multinational mining giant r.t.a. has a three point five billion dollar ongoing aluminum smelter construction project in paraguay right now that would benefit from paraguay and hydro electricity so i think they have a good economic and vested interest in making sure that this doesn't affect trade relations so i think there's there's two levels of this story going on right now if you came to power in two thousand and eight bringing and then soon six decades of one party rule one promising sweeping reforms he's benefiting from his removal and now. well clearly the. ruling elite that has been as you say in place for
12:05 am
the six decades previous to lugo's rule are the ones that benefit from this they never really lost control of the paraguay in congress and has been that that in itself has been making lugo's administration someone difficult for him to get any inference ideas passed really and what this does is serves to benefit to the congress the members of congress who themselves tend to be the wealthy landowning elite as opposed to be the landless peasants who are for the most part the opposition that would support someone like lugo and of course it was alastair brings in former vice president and now current president president franco who is almost universally reviled by the vast majority of of the population so i think this goes to only bolster those forces that are against the vast majority of paraguayans which is and goes quite against the democratic urge which had finally managed to successfully or seemingly successfully topple the six decades of one
12:06 am
party rule in paraguay niggas ousting is that code i call a situational that was all done and paul in the end without turning so military action of course that do you think it's a threat to democracy is across south america like some regional players being. well i think the idea that this is a direct threat to other regional democracies is overplaying it a little bit i don't think that this is directly going to spill over into other countries but certainly it does destabilize relations between those countries that had obviously a lot more in common with someone like lugo than someone like franco and of course franco no we're taking it to another level and intimating that he may be happy to take paraguay out of memphis or altogether and to open up direct negotiations with the united states for example on free trade agreements direct bilateral trade free trade agreements so so we'll have to see what plays out of this but certainly it doesn't seem like this will be a good thing for any of paraguay's neighbors who are obviously concerned with the destabilization that tie. happening there in the the retrogression that this
12:07 am
represents in terms of paraguay sliding back into the type of oligarchy call rule that's been in place for much of its political history latin america has seen. some allegedly engineered by the cia is it a trend we might see continue. it's certainly always a possibility and and whether or not this particular cool coup or any particular coup was engineered for by outside interests i think we have to be aware of the outside interests that do have economic incentives and political incentives for making sure that these types of coups happen and that the political elite who again are the ones that tend to benefit from from a lot of the legislation that gets passed in the military coup. administrations stay in power and get to pass those types of wants to go right james called it as it's over independent news websites the corbett reporter james thank you very much indeed you're welcome. you're with r.t.
12:08 am
still to come this hour selective hearing of it saudi arabia turn out for an activist hero but is that closest ally turning a blind eye to the violence in the arab country. taking matters into their own hands or why russian citizens are organizing aid and action to the devastated south after last week's floods. that's later but before that there have been clashes in madrid as police crackdown on demonstrators marching across the city security forces fired rubber bullets at thousands of people who walks house to support coal miners angry at the loss of industry subsidies as the prime minister announced new content tox hikes to save sixty five billion euros in return for an e.u. bailout and sociologist carlos del close says the government isn't losing its message. if had any sense of decency or even a fragment of the dignity that miners and the the protesters the indignados have
12:09 am
then he would resign with the rest of his government he's broken every campaign promise that he's made some even that comical levels you know his entire party was saying that raising the sales tax was you know one thinkable and all that and now we have a twenty one percent sales tax i think what we're seeing is really the impunity of a government that has a lot of people that pertain to you know. that had affinity with franco's government the fascist government forty years ago and have never had it before trial since then so i guess there's a culture of impunity amongst these folks the tendency is to think maybe that. protesters have become desensitized to all of the police violence because we've been dealing with it for a year but we saw pictures of you know images of an eleven year old child shot in the head with a rubber bullet and we've seen policemen with no with no badges of course that's become you know standard operating procedure for them basically i guess a lot of the times a lot easier to get people talking about the violence and debating that instead of
12:10 am
debating you know the livelihoods of working people in this country. people in spain worry their country could reach greek levels of financial turmoil with public anger growing in the streets in greece meanwhile it's struggling to boost confidence in its beleaguered banking sector and nobel economics laureate edward prescott says the euro might collapse if we could corner me to stay. if you have. four children and give more credit cards to go out and buy more but tell me that they have to behave responsibly and one of them does a. lot of the problems the problems that the germans and the french to somebody they should have one too and somebody who should be borrowing should when people monitoring the market i think there's a good chance of the following they may call both upon the fall of the stadium if you're looking for your may just complete collapse.
12:11 am
of the. doors the full interview with nobel economics laureate edward prescott in twenty minutes time here. the un special envoy to syria is urging the security council to send a message to both syrian government and the opposition that there will be consequences if they don't comply with the peace plan kofi annan also says president assad has discussed with him the forming of a transitional government and supporting someone as a middleman for the regime he is wearing a pretty nice. kofi annan says first and foremost it's most important for the u.n. security council to act with one voice right now applying pressure on all parties in syria to comply with their responsibilities of the six point peace plan a plan that calls for an immediate end to violence the joint special envoy says that the security council of course could even include consequences on parties that
12:12 am
do not comply with their obligations to to end the violence in syria mr anon also indicated which he has over and over again that he believes that iran could play a very positive role in helping to violence in the crisis in syria but as we've heard the u.s. and european countries say they do not want iran involved in dealing with the syrian crisis essentially the u.s. wouldn't sit at a table with there are big sticking point between security council members they still remain very much divided and what indicates that is the fact that there has to drop resolutions circulating right now within the security council one has been proposed by russia which calls for and three month extension of the u.n. supervision mission in syria the other which is now drafted by european countries and supported by the u.s. calls for. calls for chapter seven which allows for the security council to
12:13 am
authorize economic sanctions among other things against the syrian government if the government does not comply with kofi annan six point peace plan what's missing according to what's been reported is that the draft proposed by western countries does not indicate any consequences for the opposition if they do not comply with the peace plan so while kofi annan is asking for the security council to adopt with one voice you still have a huge division taking place within the united nations and of course this is this is coming more than sixteen months after this crisis in syria. syria's main opposition alliance has failed to say persuade russia to help them oust president assad and during talks in moscow the syrian national council insisted assad must go before there can be any transition which russia doesn't agree with and some analysts believe the opposition isn't everyday interested in mediation the only thing that the opposition wants at this point an alliance with the western
12:14 am
countries and the countries in the gulf that are backing them is regime change in damascus they have rejected the initial peace plan that was put forward by a coffee of. the united nations that was indorsed by the syrian government by other forces throughout the region by russia as well as china but the backers of the syrian national congress and the syrian so-called free syrian army have holes in the effort. to bring about a political solution to this crisis they have refused to acknowledge any type of cease fire they have continued their aggressive activities against the syrian government and as a result of that the syrian government has had no choice except to engage in these military maneuvers that we've seen over the last couple of days the onus of the resolution to this crisis strictly with the armed opposition and also the
12:15 am
opposition that is around the syrian national council as well as the other islamist groups which have refuse all peace plans that have been put forward by the united nations envoy kofi annan. and a little later in the program we're picture the conflict in syria from a different angle with the country's once popular movie industry ostracized in the arab states which supported the rebel. tens of thousands of people attended a funeral in saudi arabia for an act of its killed during recent demonstrations the rest was fueled by tension over dissidents and growing calls for political freedoms and civil rights and political analyst dr martin solich things the united states backing their contradicts the democracy preaches. they sold this out with the backing of the americans they told the. people slaves. that's why they're. demonstrating in order
12:16 am
to demand some i mean durations. they want a certain kind of dignity and. so should. be. the from the united states this morning. they want democracy and the freedom. they are given think they're. living. a life there is a revolution traveled out revolution. does not come of this. and i guess there is a kind of revolution going on in saudi arabia and in other places been shown. and mil footage of those protests is available at home and here's what else have got
