tonight on our team russia demands justice for the tragic death of a three year old russian boy allegedly killed by his adoptive mother in texas but the u.s. state department seems reluctant to cooperate with the investigation we investigate also this hour. they would like us to offer explanations as to why we grant him asylum why on earth newly reelected ecuadorian president rafael correia tells r.t. he won't back down from the west after being pressured over granting asylum to whistleblower julian a son. and also coming up this hour with reports that up to four children a day of court with weapons in british schools we take a look at how the worrying trend is being tackled.

in a very good even if you just joined us just after ten pm now here in moscow my name's kevin zero in this is r.t. and first as you just heard the russian are demanding answers as to why a three year old boy died allegedly at the hands of his adoptive mother in the united states maxine cause me now to the grim statistic of twenty russian children have died so far after being adopted by americans course only a few weeks ago a new law came into effect in russia banning u.s. citizens from bringing russian children into their families because of the worry of abuse but earlier if not gave me the latest developments tonight. although mixing died almost a month ago now investigation is still continuing in syria to say exactly what happened and i mean we what were the circumstances but we're already hearing from american investigators that the body of seeing was covered with scratches and

bruises allegedly he was beaten and he suffered this is what we're hearing from american doctors multiple injuries prior to his death it's also reported that mike seems parents called medics to the property but it might seem had actually died before he could actually be treated on that day taxes children protection services received a reported maxime's death which alleged neglect and physical abuse now russian authorities are saying that this second boy could also be in danger but this is the question was asked russia's foreign ministry as human rights envoy listen to what he has to say concerning this. he lives now with his adoptive father the mother whose surname this charter is not allowed to live with a second child during the inquiry but nevertheless she can see you i think at least once a week this decision was taken by the u.s. authorities if the investigation proves the mother is guilty in the death of the

child the question will be raised about the future of the second boy and of course the double tragedy the double irony here is that this just before the new law was introduced we were talking about a lengthier in this channel of the duma yakovlev law to prohibit americans from adopting russians because of this the fear of this very same thing unfortunately it seems too late in this case may be an absolutely and there is another. coincidence between these two cases might seem because i mean it was adopted from the same often eighteen month old dmitri. before he was adopted in two thousand and eight and another tragic story he died just three months after he was adopted big. his adoptive father just forgot he was in the car live in him in a parking lot for nine hours in fifty degree heat it was just too hot inside the car and the boy died adoptive father was then accused with murder and faced up to

ten years in prison but the court decided he was not guilty and let him walk free have been able to speak to children's rights on boats manned and he's explained why russia has taken such a firm stance here ok let's take a listen. even unfortunately it's usually months later russian child is going to do with the americans so it informs us about it and one case it was five years after we do it and that's how our cooperation with us works if they do not inform us fast enough or the information is not reliable there are tens of thousands of russian adoptive children living in the us and we haven't got a clue about the whys of most of them there's no confirmation that they're all right and they're not being if you listen to what if you want to. of course we across developments as the inquiry into maxime's death expands. exactly or if national with me just a bit earlier well the u.s. has promised to more thoroughly investigate now the abuse of russian children by

their adoptive american families but mira riba who's written widely on international adoption told us there's no protection for adopted children in the u.s. no control over preventing a beaut. adopted children are no more protected here in the united states whether they're internationally or domestically adopted no matter what country they were adopted from once they are adopted into a family they are treated as if they are the same as they were born into that family and there is no greater protection afforded any adopted child than there is any other child so it's only if abuse is reported there is a high demand for children for adoption and the demand is great for russian children in particular because they are caucasian and most often blond haired and blue eyed and and they are from the more desirable children for adoption since most of those adopting are core kaizen and they simply prefer

a child that looks like them so there there is high demand but russia need not commodify children and yield to that demand russians and any country can protect children better within their own country more than the news stories the day no ecuadorian need to rough promise to full more years of revolution as he puts it after a sweeping victory secured in the sunday spanish channel spoke to the reelected president does he get up for his final four you have one of the home career was especially vocal about helping the world's top whistle blow jr who's son has been in scope just in the ecuadorian embassy in london for exactly eight months now. sort of yes it does in a practical that's for the practical implication of julian assange the situation is up to europe to resolve it the problem will be solved if the u.k. grants a safe passage and there hasn't been any intention to disrupt the prosecution process according to the swedish justice system in spite of the numerous misinformed

allegations if they send a prosecutor to ecuador's embassy in britain and record the interrogation on video which they can do it would untwist this not about is if they really have to interrogate him that julian assange and was never even officially presented with charges if sanchez lawyer guards on is lucky at the european court and achieved a safe passage for sanchez to staying at the ecuadorian embassy the situation we finally resolved it is all now in europe's hands but there is a lot of arrogance involved here in the colonia sentiment too they would like us to offer explanations as to why we granted him asylum why on earth there's more they even want us to backtrack on our decision but we will never do this or this will put up with us well you know the full interview with ecuador's newly reelected president is on air here on r.t. in forty minutes time if not to catch up with him of course korea upset the us britain sweden with that decision to grant asylum to the wiki leaks founder back in august activist radio show solomon commissar you spoke to me told me the ecuadorian

president's enjoying popularity ho right now partly because of policies which stand up to the white house. the sentiment on the ground with most ecuadorians as well as the growing sentiment throughout latin america is that those who continue to align themselves with the u.s. unconditionally are not going to find support from the people of people who eventually are the ones who are going to be casting their ballots during these elections where has been outspoken against us the new york colonization is been an outspoken against the neo liberal agenda and us imperialism for so quite some time folks are done with this whole whole model where we're going to continue to be can you know continuously in perpetuity dependent on us and if it's corporate interests that that those days are done hopefully the career is very well aware of the fact that the u.s. uses net national indomie for democracy and the national democratic institute as organizations they go in and they're their primary role is to destabilize democratically elected governments and to bits and to topple them as ronald reagan

said in one thousand and three when he started the national debt in dollars for democracy he said he wanted them to operate like the cia but just overtly and covertly. a syrian official says two mortars have exploded near one of president assad's three palaces in damascus the blast struck the southern wall of the residents of the northwest of the city causing damage but no casualties earlier though a car blast near the syrian capital did claim at least two lives britain meantime has failed to convince e.u. foreign ministers to ease an arms embargo on weapons shipments to syrian rebels although they did take the surprise step of allowing other types of aid into the country u.k. held that move a success saying more talks will come in three months time it's been struggling with france for direct arms supplies to opposition forces u.n. investigators though just yesterday said both the rebels and the government are committing war crimes and that those guilty should face justice at the hague but the chronicle's magazine front affairs have a few spoke to his takes

a criminal court is just a cover for a powerful outside force which when pulling the strings the i.c.c. is not the forum or any country to see the justice and the power of the i.c.c. prosecutor whacked depends on the will or the political masters so ultimately it's a political court and the foundation of the entire and if it's is the ideology of the universal political and legal culture for the whole world is the find by the post-modern west so this is really a sequel which is supposed to hide the essence of this project and it is to treat bashar and his government as members of joint enterprise so i think this is just a choreographed passes with a sealed that the decision in washington has already been made but luckily bashar

is proving to be a much tougher nut to crack than they expected. coming up the kids are not all right so to go to british classrooms anyway we investigate why weapons and school bugs are becoming wateringly widespread among peoples in the u.k. these days as the studies reveal the catalogue of focusing on not very shortly also coming up to report from one of the most sensitive plots of land in the west bank and israel's construction plans in a cave palestinian area so after the break with me kevin i would.

hello again struggling to get its economy growing the u.k. is now knocking on india's trade doors prime minister david cameron is in the british former colony urging it to open up for more investment the u.k. delegation indeed includes business leaders from all around hundred companies also several ministers and employees in what's said to be the biggest ever team taken abroad by prime minister cameron claimed in here in britain we're on track to double trade between them by twenty fifty that he wants the u.k. to become a new delhi's partner of choice as he put it investors have been craving for india to free up regulations for years as a lot of money tied up their professor in chile or from the school of international affairs in new delhi is skeptical about cameron's promise of huge trade growth and he says scription of relations with india is quite special. what we will see here. and you get a good relationship that is on a level to do and be done with benefits and interests between india and he's been

seen as inviting him to france for long was here recently and it is almost like a bee line of. course they're trying to clear. the consumption based economy most of us and europe as you know has been completely suffered by austerity so on one hand they're trying to promote by leverage trigger an experiment on the other hand you know the shrinking of the street under these conservative policies is not going to help them revive the group and in the absence of brought you don't have these corporations going to manufacture and export goods or services so i think we have to be realistic i mean the governor of the bank of england himself said that we're only halfway through the global economic crisis if that be so then we're looking at two thousand and eighteen is the only statement we're going to come out of this crisis so until then i think most of these targets are mostly aspirational and i won't be surprised if these are not meant to. all of us hope for

our kids tell me that school should be a safe place goes without saying but in britain a disturbing number of pupils in class it seems these days are armed with knives and knuckle dusters did a recent nationwide survey shows four hundred children a day of being suspended because of the threatening behavior party sarah first met one youth worker for whom violence in school was an everyday norm. teaches that certain things you probably end up in a dead end job or in prison you'll be lucky to be alive when you're sixteen. you know our parent is gone our carrot is not for no for teaching them to say anything about a stark insight into the reality facing some christian school children despite having one of the best education systems in the world the latest research estimates that up to full peoples a day a court with weapons in persists cools guns knives and knuckle dusters just some of the items confiscated by police are remember we're always searching the school and

. gone to the school. gone turn around and i see this person was shot down about the fire or schools are supposed to be a safe secure environment where the focus is on education the figures of revealed that hundreds of weapons are being seized in schools every year with the number of violent incidents on the rise the reality for many schools across the bay is that your classmate can quickly become your enemy and school playgrounds can be a dangerous place but it's not only the pupils who are subject to violence in london alone this being moved in four thousand assaults on teachers by peoples over the past year is it's a shocking indication of the levels of violence the school becomes normal to. get involved in as you get sucked into this last laugh in can violence is the best approach. is it's just waking up in the morning and going

for run yeah after a while it becomes normal to you stephen is now working with the charity x l p thirty nine hundred ninety six after school stabbing founder patrick regan has been helping young people tackle gun culture and violence a member could come. me wearing a bulletproof vest underneath his school uniform he said i'll be dead by thursday according to patrick it's early intervention which is key prison is forty thousand pounds a year young person's secure unit is one hundred sixty five thousand pounds a year a murder can be a million pounds a year to investigate so actually you know if we intervene earlier keep kids in education keep that sense of a safe place an environment where they can grow and flourish then it is far better that doesn't take into consideration the emotional course you know i have to deal with people who've lost their sons and their daughters the gun and knife crime and you can't so we have to address it earlier the problem of violence in schools is

not a new one it's not something you're likely to read about in a school prospectus and it's particularly acute in the countries deprived in a city or schools on the whole do not want the public to know that they have a problem with children bringing weapons onto the premises so they do not readily give the information so i guess the problem is significant all they teach is can now say people's if they suspect they're carrying a weapon many politicians is still failing to sit out and take notice and until more it's done to address the problem children who attend these schools will continue to learn these lessons finally. i think. a lot of good stories. are just checking them out now including greece getting a v.o.p. visit if you want to check yourself describing how you would actually know that the

french president is there but receiving a rather white welcome because of media strikes caused a news blackout keep it all very low. please more about online also banking on banks each like his artwork i guess you can call it that a piece by the mysterious renowned street artist which was thought stolen in the u.k. . resurfaced in the united states and. it's up for auction to you can rival the mysteries of that one at r.t. dot com. it's going to twenty minutes past ten at night moscow time world news in brief

after a fatal shooting rampage in united states now in southern california thought the government killed three people in different locations across orange county before turning the weapon on himself in a stolen car police don't yet know whether the killer new is victims and they're currently investigating six crime scenes we're following out for the night for you and you have been a military fighter jets crashed in the capital killing at least twelve and injuring dozens more women and children reportedly among the victims there the aircraft was on a training flight when it plunged into a building contending shops and homes could have been worse setting nearby cars on fire so it had been changed square in sun are where of course the revolution which ousted the previously two years ago began. in bahrain mercenaries attacked mourners who were trying to attend the funeral of a sixteen year old boy killed during anti regime protests last week government forces have been heavily deployed on the streets and they use toxic gas against the crowds violence still plagues the kingdom even though the first peace talks between

the opposition and the ruling monarchy were held on february fourteenth. thousands of rioted in the west bank's two largest cities in support of hunger strikers held in israeli jails israeli forces dispersed dozens of palestinians or blocked a road in one city with some staging a protest near un office and another demonstrators. what the e.u. to take action for better treatment of the ailing prisoners to back their release public anger flared up over uncertainty of their fate with claims that they are in a critical condition and have been wrongfully detained in the first place. despite growing anger in the west bank and the u.n. calls to stop settlements in spanish and there israel is showing no intention of seams of freezing its plans late last year the israeli government pledged thousands more homes in the long disputed area known as the one it's the vital corridor between large palestinian areas our middle east correspondent paula slater reports next than on how the construction could prove fatal for any potential future

palestinian state it's rugged and remarkable landscape largely empty but full of meaning this is one of the west bank's most sensitive pieces of real estate for fourteen years plans to build here have existed but were kept on hold but all of that changed last november less than twenty four hours after the u.n. general assembly recognize palestine is a nonmember observer state tel aviv the fast track to construction plans here prompting the palestinian government to call it a slap in the face of the entire world. this plan to build here is not legal according to international law which states that when one country occupies another it can really change facts on the ground of israel is doing exactly that while also getting people out of their land soley for the benefit of the settlers. known as the one this controversial patch of earth exists between east jerusalem where palestinians aspire to establish the capital of a future palestinian state and the huge israeli settlement of ma'ale adumim it is

the last remaining corridor between the large palestinian cities in the west bank and if plans go ahead in the israelis extend this area it would cut into a big chunk of the west bank effectively driving a wedge into the middle of any potential palestinian state critics have warned that filling the space with jewish homes amounts to a doomsday scenario effectively striking a fatal heart attack to the two state solution but for now the plan is to build a garbage dump in this valley with the waste that comes from jerusalem and then in about twenty to thirty years when it's full to build a park on top of us here you can see mark palestinians fear it is part of a long term strategy to extend the one and build new israeli settlements it's not surprising this is not the first time that such a plan is submitted it is a part of ongoing policy that has been growing for years now in at them to grab palestinian lands but first the israelis need to get rid of the people who live

here among them around three arab jerusalem neighborhoods and one hundred fifty bedouins for whom this has been home for nearly half a century mohammad cushion is angry he says tel aviv doesn't want him and his tribe here but it also refuses to allow them to return to their original village in the negev desert from where they fled after the creation of the state in one nine hundred forty eight when a lot of them it is discrimination they give the settlers everything that they want to them whereas we do not ask for anything besides laying in the land and they want to evacuated us our children live surrounded by war it's like being in a prison one of them that they will grow up and will not make peace in the future with an israeli side was a lot tel aviv complains the bed when camps were set up illegally without permits. and stand in the way of urban planning but critics say this is just an excuse for a land grab it makes me furious this dump site is going to harm the environment and

it's going to harm the health of the people and they make it harder and harder to find a solution for the situation demolition orders have already been issued threatening to destroy the last remnants of bed when life in these hills and while israeli officials say the construction anyone if it happens at all is many years away it cuts to the heart of the israeli palestinian conflict which fundamentally is about the land and the fate of the people who live on us policy r.t. in the west bank. there's always you give abreast of all our stories twenty four seven on our website consciously updating it for you r.t. dot com right ok it's what time is it just a laughter twenty five minutes past ten at night moscow time this tuesday the nineteenth of february kitty pilgrim is here must mean a bump of business bulletin coming up tonight ross north after worrying the worst heading east yet indeed eagle sets in the sea he's in japan actually today that's after being in china and south korea he is doing the. course

been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations are on the day. hello there welcome to business i'm katie thank you for your company now after teaming up with weston or mages last year to explore in the russian arctic russia's biggest oil company ross staffed is on a quest to conquer the east but company's chief executive igor searchin is holding talks in japan right now on the final leg of an eastern tall which included trips

to south korea and china now ross nafta recently obtained licenses to develop tuol of sections of the continental shelf which have huge untapped reserves an estimated ten billion tons of oil and seven trillion cubic meters of gas now seven of these sectors have already been offered to the west with america's xom obo collaboration's have already been made with its list and a norway's status was well for shelf development but now we're also have to is turning east and earlier today i spoke to stuart elliott from industry group plans on rosneft eastbound. west and international investors strategic partners are only really interested you could argue in rosneft because it gives them access to the russian market so. the chinese and japanese companies that

are going to form these ventures to explore b.p. and the like who are joining up with rosneft partnerships in the arctic is about gaining access to russian reserves the key will be whether rosneft get something back in return if b.p. or exxon mobil start giving rosneft big big chunks of their business elsewhere in the world if that happens then nothing runs north will be less of a russian company or more of an international global major in the same way as shell b.p. exxon chevron and others bought all eagle set gins incentives for all chris tracing such a trick or think goes a number of reasons behind why rosneft is looking eastward as you say he's already been west they've made some important strategic partnerships with the likes of exxon mobil and b.p. as we know but the bigger markets if you like the consumer markets for oil and gas to the east china and japan china particularly is

a huge market for oil and gas and rosneft already has a supply deal in place we've seen p.c. the state owned chinese oil company and now it's looking to expand its partnership with other companies sign a pack that they've agreed to look at increasing the amount of oil they send to sign a pick. japan clearly is a huge market for oil and gas they don't have any resources of their own and i think rosneft is looking at ways to cement their relationships with these big customers is if they are all staffed as a company how close are these partnerships up to tapping into these gas reserves one hundred percent. critical for rosneft to do what they're doing with chinese and japanese companies you know. rosneft is already the biggest oil producer in russia it produces an awful lot of gas too it's the number one it has the backing of the russian government you can argue. and of course don't forget they are buying k.-b.

p. which was or is the third largest oil producer in russia and it's going to become by far the world's biggest oil producer once it's completed the acquisition of seeing k. b.p. and a lot of people believe that by teaming up with the chinese and japanese for offshore exploration it's a way of kind of just building relationships between these companies with the future insight of increasing the supply of oil and gas to those countries once rosneft becomes this huge fear must be a month of oil and gas reserves and don't forget the offshore russia is extremely vast and in terms of hydrocarbon reserves. and staying with the russian billionaire vladimir paul time has become the first russian the tycoon to join bill gates and warren buffet charity campaign the giving pledge now this is an idea it was

originally set up to encourage the world's wealthiest people to give away some all perhaps even hall of their fortunes to charity right now i'm joined by touch on a pulley in the c.v. i say hello eighty eight now tell me i know. part of not is nicole so he's a metals and a media magnate as well isn't it so tell me more about this rather well the. interesting credibly generous fellow right through the last year of lots of or patani and one of those russian tycoon who made their fortunes after the collapse of the soviet union privatization in the number of sectors including metals and mining is now the fourth richest person in russia and one of the fifty fifty wealthiest people in the world and his fortunes estimated as more than fourteen billion dollars will soon to be about service that are not pretty and i would now if it were the last problem because he's actually already quite heavily

involved in charity and three years ago he promised to give his entire fortune to charity and not to his three children even explained himself saying that's an inherited million helps a person to get the education and a good job but then heritability probably is the case with his children kills personality well if i was told i would be. thrilled about. to support those for the program because they are sportsmen and they like to achieve things that maybe they're just good people but. is this maybe a good almost example to set to giving you billions away. greater good obviously it is a very good example but unfortunately in russia giving such a large scale charitable donations are a very new phenomenon and probably experts say it's because. unlike the west russia

doesn't give any attacks in sound like you are using the nation's right yeah that's lovely and i suppose that's why there's so much more people in the us troop being away that money. last year was warren buffett gave away three billion dollars then he's followed by mark zuckerberg he and his wife gave away a half of. both of them are the member of the giving pledge campaign so they keep their word as among this year's new promises richard branson's some villain there is from thailand germany australia russian prime him all together it's now more than one hundred people and their estimate of collective fortune more than half a trillion dollars wow. ok where's it going that i could tell you specifically because this is not an organization that this tribute

from on it yes claridge that you give publicly that you give away the majority of your wealth to charity either during your lifetime or after your death and you can go back you know i suppose can you once you've done that you've done a lot of good stuff you already can only go to a good place. it's a fantastic thing to pledge to do and you know boy if i was one of the children i might not think so but thank you to jennifer that any thanks indeed for that. i live search out the markets and see what's happening with the u.s. markets and show way yet we have indeed got to get u.s. trade as they returned to their desk such that it's off to a holiday for presidents day as the first day of the week for wall street that. as you can see u.s. stocks they are indeed getting actually now loitering around a five year high again on optimism coming from europe's biggest economy germany with rising in vested confidence states about to big news of today that brings us all to europe that is probably no surprise that we ended up with impressive guy you

just look at the dots in germany i for one and a half percent as i say it is optimism that europe's largest economy will bounce back strongly following a contraction in the final quarter of twenty twelve fueled investor confidence today in lifting the london market as well to within a touching distance of a new year high now the standout stock today was that she the york make a done on it jumped over five percent and that softer announcing plans to slash around nine hundred jobs and the downturn in europe let's check out the current to see what happened to the russian ruble it finished up today michigan's it's actually high up to the u.s. dollar just a bit lost out to the drug that a common currency the euro right it is a most sky again feeding off international positive momentum from germany you can see that the r.t.s. nine tenth's up pretty much the same for the mice it's just a normal. jump to for sam one of the biggest gain is today an air flow one of the

biggest losers down a percent so winners and gayness. all right that's the markets that is the business i'll be back in less than two hours time out next so he's exclusive interview with the newly reelected ecuadorian president rafael correa stay with us for that. technology innovation all the developments around the world we've got the future of harvard. download the official application to your cell phone choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorites from alzheimer's if you're away from your television just doesn't do so

live. hello mr korea thank you for a time first of all congratulations on your victory thank you alina and thank you

r.t. i'd like to take this opportunity to send the warmest regards to latin america and the whole world saw. us last year julian assange this case turn up next all over the world what goes that ecuador proceed by granting him political asylum. only mic up again. thank you and thank you r.t. i like to take this opportunity to send the warmest regards to latin america and the whole world. that one of them to belabor me why all the polemics when sweden which is already provided political asylum to numerous latin americans does it again will that story a polemic as well story as the practical implication of julian assange situations it is up to europe to resolve the problem will be solved if the u.k. grants him safe passage since there hasn't been any intention to disrupt the prosecution process of the swedish justice system in spite of numerous misinformed allegations if they send a prosecutor to ecuador's embassy in britain and record the interrogation on video

which they can do it would on twist this not that is if they really have to interrogate or julian assange was never even officially presented with charges. as lawyer but as our guards on this is lucky at the european court and achieve safe passage for a son who is staying at the ecuadorian embassy the situation will be finally resolved it is all now in europe's hands ecuador has done what it had to by exercising its sovereignty our country isn't obliged to ask permission for it or to explain it all the more so to apologize for using its rights over sovereignty. or to have said so at any that's right but now it feels as if julian assange is trapped and then we'll see forever can you see any way out of it and. you should ask europe that it is now up to the u.k. to. sweden and the european courts to find a way out instead when could we expect a solution to this problem do you think. any day now with the consent of the u.k.

but there is a lot of arrogance involved here and a neo colonialist sentiment too they would like us to offer explanations as to why we granted him asylum why on earth there's more they even want us to backtrack on our decision but we will never do that to you also think that you'll in a sounds may be extradited to the us rather than sweden serious odds are it could happen before granting him asylum and we had studied mr assad just case for a few weeks finally we concluded that he had every reason to ask for it so we are satisfied of his request went well so. we may say that it wasn't only you who won last night. in the victory as well returning to his homeland you were a monk the first who came to visit him in cuba dedicated your victory to mr chavez how would you describe his current health and when do you think will he be able to get back to work. even if you had seen him prior to the operation which

was beyond all doubt extremely complex it wouldn't have occurred to you that he was sick you would have found him in his normal state and in a cheerful mood and moreover he looked fine but the operation was extremely difficult and we all knew that as far as we know he's now recoveries and the fact he could make it back to his dear venezuela is such good news in that he loves cuba but venezuela is his homeland here and so i'm pretty sure this will be the best remedy for hugo better anyway we wish him the speediest recovery but on that little bit as you know he better not be that on yielding the first thing he did after having returned to venezuela was congratulate me on my victory as you know i wish he could put it to one side everything that's going on in latin america for at least a week and focus on his recovery. do you think that's possible no. no it's just my wish but i know it won't come true yet bit of. a lot in it assuming his

won't be able to get back to performing his duties are you ready to take over in latin america last. seen a similar mess is happening when i'm always asked that i'm sorry but it shows you are unaware of what is going on in latin america nobody is striving for the headship here hugo chavez is a born leader and there's no competition in trying to upstage the others nobody thinks i'll be the next leader but if you go keep the post article the deputy leader said this is not our situation our goal is to serve our people i guess i can speak on behalf of christina. who go juma and other stakeholders of this historic transformation in latin america that we don't strive to get things for ourselves everything we do is for the sake of the people that we will always try to provide our people with what they need even if we talk about a working class citizen who is working hard on a daily basis in the construction industry or an agricultural worker and so forth

be to even the president himself we aimed at serving our people and not wishing anything for ourselves whether. obama has been reelected and so has been. the same applies to us the leading figures in this hemisphere continue to hold their positions so what is the probability of change in the region given that the key players are the same what kind of change do you mean those changes that the members of this alliance have hope for for example regarding the civil revolution i mean it's sad but true but you know what happened so i believe the president obama is a nice man but he has changed nothing in american foreign policy gutted of the ritual he continues to talk about human rights while torturing prisoners in guantanamo whether it's enough for a bloody dictator who destroys his own people to be an ally of the us to become a great democratic rule the. the us will support and invite him to washington to deliver speeches. but if we don't back washington they will portray us as dictators

and accuse us of violating fundamental freedoms like the freedom of the press and unfortunately this is not changed in years again i'm convinced that barack obama is a very good man and a very good citizen but he hasn't changed u.s. foreign policy at all especially when it comes to latin america and we do need to have it changed because this double standard policy is no longer tolerable. in as a dud. after winning the election you sad that your goal is to make the revolution irreversible. what do you need to do in order to achieve this goal latin america's problems is that it is ruled by the elite and that is not some advanced elite looking for a common good that is the elite that usurped the fruits of technical progress and refusing to share them with anyone they even set up exclusive neighborhoods living you know that. my arrival at the recent elections says that i allegedly represent

the elites is what i suggest you go and have a look at the place where he lives with its swimming pools and doors that have keycard locks i would never be allowed to go in i simply wouldn't i said so they live in these isolated neighborhoods cut off from the whole world because it was their own elitist schools which don't provide the best education but it's so expensive that only the rich can afford to see these rich guys marry their equals and then so do their kids in order to perpetuate their domination and basically they have their own exclusive clubs so this is the elite that has taken over all of latin america and these are the power institutions that used to rule us the capitalist state that represented the interests of the minority and barred access to all other social strata in the revolution is all about transforming the existing power balance between citizens according to the interests of the majority and putting people above capital already just like europeans and we are also oppressed by the tyranny of capital and we need to make these capitalist states people oriented for the benefit of all of us with no discrimination we have already

achieved a lot but things may roll back that's the message i'm trying to get across to ecuadorean we must do our best to keep these changes in the balance of power and to make people the leading force in our country rather than bankers or corrupt mass media or domineering states or international bureaucracies like the i.m.f. or capitalists in particular those capitalists who set the tone for the citizens revolution people have an incredible trust in you and your government your popularity has been growing after. all these years i guess how would you explain that our dear friend the president of argentina cristina fernandez the kitchener said one of the reasons is that governments are now similar to the people in the past governments were trying to imitate a foreign model in an attempt to meet foreign interests they spoke spanish thinking in english if they were thinking at all and now governments work honestly and openly not without mistakes but these people are willing patriots can give their all for the good of people they represent so people finally get

a sense that their government protects their interests what it does is it what do you thing ecuador will be like in four years already had we will certainly not be able to tackle all the problems by the end of my terms among other latin american countries ecuador is first in terms of reducing poverty and the gap between rich and poor and considering latin america is the tops region in terms of social inequality our economy is one of the most fast growing we have the lowest unemployment rate of four point one percent but in spite of all these achievements it would not be possible to tackle all the issues poverty remains an acute problem and so does unemployment and social inequalities but it's important that the country stays on this passes and develops in terms of social justice is a concept that we presented to the entire world this is a concept of a life full of dignity and as i mentioned it's very important to change the balance of forces in this land ecuadorian people are the most important aspect rather than bankers media or foreign states in this country the priority is placed on people

rather than money capital you've said this is your last presidential term after we should would no longer run for office i can't imagine that such a strong individual like you would leave without having finished what you've started as it would be simply impossible to finalize everything over the four years he said oh. it's true but there are a lot of other people who would finish building our new homeland if i've been undeservedly happy my entire life before the presidency i was a university professor i was teaching i cannot. and i was wearing jeans t. shirts and sneakers to my lectures and he said in this presidential office i've been happy as well i've been trying to do my utmost for my homeland when i leave office god willing as it is i will continue living happily with my family which is very important to me my dear ones had to go through a lot when i became president in terms of my private life confidentiality this is due to security issues i mean there has been different threats and terrible attempts at undermining my reputation so i feel that i owe a lot to my family you said it yourself that the my presence here is very

significant so if i remain in politics i couldn't help but influence the next president some were very thorough in terms of selecting our personnel so in my case following my four years in office there was i intend to give up politics completely . said. since you mention your family we were told that you personally drive your son to school and. yes i took my children to school this morning in the very next day after the election. i have to get back to my routine as quickly as possible to tell you the truth such events can quickly get you off track for my family isn't staying here at the palace we're still living in an ordinary middle class house in the north of quito in a set of them that's what we still have to observe safety procedures and stay under surveillance cameras it's as if my wife and daughter are risk ordered by security guards some may actually enjoy that but for eight i don't it's one of the key disadvantages of being a president and you're always surrounded by security people you always feel threatened and you cannot hide your private life

a large number of people hate you and try to find your faults to justify their hatred towards you and enjoy the case well thank you very much for this interview and once again congratulations. she could leverage or. was able to build the world's most sophisticated robots which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach me the creation of life to care about humans and we're going this is why you should care only on the dog. that.
