live from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now it's good to have you with us four pm here in the russian capital now in his first major interview since he was ousted paraguay's former president fernando lugo has told r.t. he was forced out after the opposition threatened widespread violence if you didn't go several trade groups have suspended the country's membership following lugo's impeachment isolating south american nation and each account reports. 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 didn't like the fact that president bush who was working to expand trade in partnership with other latin american countries like or why venezuela argentina brazil as of now regional trade groups you know sore and marcus or suspended pair of y. because of president move the impeachment in an exclusive interview with my colleague from r.t. spanish ousted president or not a little told us that he was basically threatened by the opposition to accept the terms of this parliament trial he said 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 that my son. was being prepared intelligence service told us that more killings like in the could in district were going to happen this time will be

much more serious. i don't want to drop you want to be violence that's why we went alone it was illegal and bruce's so for nona lugo essentially says that he accepted this snap you try 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 probably cation can be used as a tool to remove a democratically elected leader. we will show our full interview with power wise ousted president fernando lugo later this hour here on r.t.e. before analysis on this story that we're covering let's now cross live and speak with a ask a barber was a correspondent with the asia times thanks for being with us joining us from hong kong this time around for another lugo says that he didn't have any choice but to leave after being threatened with nationwide by loons by the opposition do you think there was a way for him to keep his post without triggering bloodshed. no it was impossible

because even though he was popularly elected he space is the poor the compass you know us the passengers in the countryside they are not very well organized politically not very well rigid meant to and in the senate could count only only two senate by the way this is very important this is one of the most if not. corrupt senate in the whole of the americas in paraguay this is basically huge landowners the local comprador elites allied with their national financial system and people who are paid directly and then directly by big group businesses just like monsanto or a car if you sold these are the people that this is their less than a super sense in fact that actually has been ruling bar of why for ever lugo is the first time that paraguayan it's more than history it has

a government that is more representative of the whole of the country and the problem is these international interests international financial system and international agribusiness aligned with brazilian landowners as well. huge tracts of land specially nice there far away near to brazilian border and of course the american embassy in us and so on the which is our friends in iran would say amassed all survived that we're not in fact this is what they are expecting us and so so all of this interest this converged to find the way suing stolar sort of democratic rule against local so what the president told r.t. is absolutely correct if you call it a gamma crab cake who obviously they're trying to keep up the appearance of some sort of democracy but the entire process of pay from parliament charging will go to the inauguration of the former vice president frederica frankel lasted just over a day some thirty hours so how democratic cannot. the believe in luck is that to

your question a spoiler free because this is the heart of the action they used a technicality to launch any preachments process that lasted between twenty four and forty eight hours this is unheard off in more than democratic political is three in fact that this whole singing the praises of the problem is directly linked to the key problem in most of latin america which is the absence of an agrarian reform. the whole thing is. you know enormous tracks so for land where actually given by the paraguayan stross their dictatorship forty year dictatorship but especially in the sixty's and seventy's to stross their cronies and believe there's a full it's a cool part is just like a guy called the last of the cat in the hall has huge tracts of land that they're

not cultivated and a lot of poor peasant besant so they occupied this land and they were asking the central government that look let us take care of this land and make it productive at least so they say that the local police forces and the co mandell trained by plan colombia in the united states this means they're used to do counterinsurgency in the jungle in cologne there a sense i guess to you know just launched these spasms and then there was a whole conflagration and old asleep there were snipers planted on moaned that compazine was dead were shooting i guess the police forces and these hardcore commandos so the official explanation by senators and the landowners that they were at back then this was incompetence by the central government does not hold at all it was a set up and it was provoked to find a way to get this sings the barnum and so they could arrange their brains to

impeachment this is what. skoal nowadays in south america especially democracy shipped and he soon can be exported to other parts of the world including the middle east who think benefits the most from a move goes removal just before i might add an election coming up next month i'll give the short list first of all international agribusiness like monsanto and cargill. because they are devastating at enormous tracks of landing but why for agribusiness to be sold the international markets brazilian atlanta all are so also own a lot of lending part of why and they are in fact they are rightly called but as you will go ions because they have double nationality it is back and forth and if the border doesn't exist and there's a lot of corruption involved as well as beluga comprador elites who populate. the senate think barak why and also the media they control the media and they sell to the world the idea that this was a democratic transition or

a real impeachment and you see the mainstream media in us or in spain for that matter buying it you know straight away with a straight face and of course the american interest because they will act soon at least our beadle them in this story more aid to gratian in south america especially in the medical sewage medical center is that the common market would pursue paraglider about engine good as well as what has applied to enter medical so it was being blocked by who paraguay so what happened afterwards you know in effect that coup plotters they do see this coming to brazilians especially suspended paraguayan from bull's medical school. and meanwhile. venezuela became a full member of the medical sort of finally because but i was not there to be to it any more so in the end we have a strength a miracle soul with venezuela spite of it just means death and as well which i was

cannot. the. two outlandish anymore because the touristic anomic interests are tools linked with brazil argentina in order why specially and by way suspend it and soon next to the next elections next year day have to do a lot of good p.r. to go back to medical center in their store and be respected by other progressive movements in the recent although wise they'll be completely sidelined and that's another problem because guess what's going to happen afterwards they probably going to try to strike. free trade deal we do us by bessie merkel source so in terms of south america need to grisha this is not a good thing right pepe escobar asia times correspondent with his analysis on the ousting of the president thanks for that thank you very much. the public anger continues to rise in eastern saudi arabia with reports of more marches planned in support of two local activists killed at

a rally on sunday the demonstration was in response to the by going to arrest of a prominent shia cleric on sedation charge as well called claim that two protesters were shot dead by snipers stationed on rooftops the death brought cans of thousands onto the street and the city cops have for marches that have continued throughout the week friday arabia's eastern province is home to the country see a minority have long accused the sunni ruling regime of discrimination a political analyst dr martin sunday believes radio i feel it's got washington's backing and is under no pressure about its treatment of the shia population. they sold the saudis with the backing of the americans they thought that this lands and people staves under their government that's why they are shooting. at people peaceful people demonstrating in order to demand some i mean durations

in their districts they want a certain kind of dignity and honor and try to have social welfare and the place where the young and the producer from their district the united states backing this monarchy they say way they want democracy and the freedom as a time when their friends. they are driven think this it is a living this kind of a life there is a revolution covered up revolution where media does not cover this evidence. putting some masks on the rise in order not to see and i guess there is a kind of revolution going on in saudi arabia and in other places will happen soon . so to come this hour here on our to the syrian drama. i do want to destroy not just our country but only its good in our country and even any positive images of syria in the minds of the arab people. the conflict in syria has

left the country in tatters including its one famous t.v. interests in just three weeks we report later. more of the world's top stories now at least nine pakistani trainee policemen have been shot in the gun attack in the eastern city of lahore the taliban have said it was responsible for this week gunmen from the group killed seven security personnel in a campsite when job problems. from a bosnian serb military chief to come a lot it has been hospitalized after complaining of feeling unwell at his trial in the hague want to trace's eleven charges of genocide and crimes against humanity during the yugoslavia war in the one nine hundred ninety s. including the one nine hundred ninety five serbia needs to massacre the seventy year old former general denies any wrongdoing ill health has affected the hague tribunal before with former yugoslav president slobodan milosevic dying of a heart attack in his cell in two thousand and six string his genocide trial. at

least now you two people have been killed in an inferno in one theory is oil producing one for delta they were trying to scoop up spilt fuel from a crashed petrol tanker when it caught fire women and children are among the dead according to witnesses crashes are common on nigeria's poorly maintained roads. well the u.n. envoy to syria says he wants the security council to get tough on both the country's government and opposition kofi annan says there should be consequences if the warring sides don't comply with his ceasefire plan pressure on syria mounts with master powers threatening more sanctions and military intervention that russia wants an extension or u.n. observer mission three months saying dialogue is the only way forward by then still rages in the country with online videos purportedly showing rebels blowing up tanks and helicopters from analysts believe the opposition has no interest in finding a peaceful solution. the only thing that the opposition wants at this point an

alliance with the western 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 kofi anon and 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 opposed any effort to dialogue 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 lies with the armed opposition and also the 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 had none. as the conflict lasted for sixteen months it has touched on almost every aspect of ordinary life some arab nations which support the opposition have banned programs in movies from syria but film and television producers say it's only hardening their for solve archies riffle notion are reports from damascus right t.v. soap operas something syria has been famous for all around the arab world they are considered the regional emotional and funny in all syrian society there would be a man a storyteller who would sit in a cafe or just outside his home and tell stories and everybody would come to listen

today this is what syrian drama does it tell simple and timeless stories about good and evil all ages and genders like it and it in no it's all arab people but during the conflict in syria its trademark dramas have become yet another dividing factor gulf countries which had traditionally helps fund them withdrew from production leave in a huge financial gap and the matters were made worse when the arab league called for a boycott of syrian satellite channels including drama ones they want to fight everything good in syria they don't want us to be. shows our drama to the word to show our history or the way we live the way we love each other the way we taking care of each other's that's why this stuff they stop they are fighting us actually. at them we're still wanted to destroy not just our country but all of the good in our country and even any positive images of

syria in the minds of other arab people. now of countries headed by qatar and saudi arabia were among the first to condemn the syrian regime for its breakdown on protesters they were also among the most active supporters of the syrian armed opposition sponsoring and arming the rebels this is the second crosses the syrian rebels suffering from the first one was two thousand and seven after hariri was killed and it was also there was a boycott or syrian drama and this times we were hit very strong actually more stronger than two thousand and seven because this time it was obvious that it was a hidden. flourish an industry with a turnover with millions of dollars has quickly withered what used to be thirty five fully fledged projects spear has become just a few small scale ventures but determined to keep the show on the road industry professionals have united the syrian drama is an ambassador we have to protect

syrian drama because it is. our. invoice to the world producers say salaries have also dropped drastically but most staff actors engineers and even directories have agreed to work almost for nothing if only it allows the programs to continue this year in drama shows the lives of ordinary people who live in the old damascus at a time when the country was under french occupation at the beginning of the twentieth century a common enemy and the fight for independence united people they got together showing the best of their qualities filmmakers wanted to keep away from politics but the message this sends is very much up to date. r.t. damascus syria. we're going to head straight to our web site for more on all the stories we're covering on there there's some of what we've got on line the price of
