city amid unrest and violent clashes. was. the week the protests were triggered by the removal of fuel subsidies as part of a loan deal with the international monetary fund many of the demonstrators come from poor and indigenous communities from all across ecuador nicholas o'donovan reports from kiddo. yet another day of violent clashes between protesters and police forces here in ecuador what we've seen today is the indigenous communities thousands and thousands of people that came from different parts of ecuador here to the capital to protest there was a moment of tension when they stormed the national assembly the 1st few moments after that they were dispersed and we saw massive clashes between rioters and

police we spoke to some of the people here and this is what they had to say let's take a listen. the government is a traitor and a lot of what we want is a good idea not to do not have power and we will ask only for all we have without any shame it means we want to get rid of the traits we will fight till the end we could die like you although we will fight still unity at least one person has died and there's been dozens of injured among protesters and police officers president moreno who is in quiet kill said that the violence was instigated by his predecessor rafael career and venezuelan president nicolas maduro the tyrant madeira has activated along with korea the destabilization plan route of their the corrupt who have felled the food stamps of just disclose and then to make them they're the ones behind this attempted coup the target but this is that marino also

said that he is willing to negotiate a solution to the crisis with the indigenous movement the government has also ordered a curfew in areas close to government buildings insta t.j. can still ations the order prevents public access to these areas between 8 pm and 5 am local time while the national state of emergency remains the indigenous people that are protesting here very clear they won't move until lenin merino suspends the economic measures that hurt him so. so much they say that will they will stay here they will protest and they were. talking to r.t. a former ecuadorian president rafael correa that the government is trying to shift the blame for the current unrest. it's a difficult time for my homeland this shows the politics of merino in his government he's already been in power for 2 and

a half years and he still blames korea for everything economic crisis for security for his political faults and to say that these mass protests to my fault is just crazy it's. nothing that is in the name or a no is not interested in democracy for him the most important thing is to control power control the ecuadorian public so he create projects that can damage the majority would be beneficial for his goals. nor inclusive on the i.m.f. we're juggling numbers and fooled people by distorting the amount of ecuador's debt belgium's debt where i live now amounts to 100 percent of g.d.p. eventually the i.m.f. had to publicize real debt numbers i left my presidential post at the beginning of 2017 after that the debt started growing but the problem doesn't even lie with the debt it's all a sham from the start merinos government betrayed the economic program and in general the political program to which people get their votes for.

it is in your dreams you know that man cancelled the previous government program he thought they could create something new and better than before but they achieved only destruction we left ecuador's economy in a state of growth it was like that until 20172018 this year will see a decline unemployment's risen that lead to instability 500000 ecuadorians are facing poverty yet again and now these austerity measures they are justified by any external factors. russia's foreign minister has accused the us of being unreliable casting doubt during a joint media conference with his cause a counterpart on donald trump's promise to withdraw american troops from northern syria are to turn got reports. just as earlier this week the russian foreign minister was traveling around iraq talking to officials in baghdad and also the kurdish autonomy region in this country things that we kept on hearing from ankara

and washington really put the region includes panic mode the turkish president bared one hinted that his army is just one step away from entering syria to start an offensive against the kurdish militias there however there is one big obstacle the u.s. troops on the ground however a little later donald trump tweeted that his soldiers are ready to get out of there and that was really something that baffled the kurds they called it a stab in the back although donald trump eventually pedal back and said that they were only relocating several dozen troops and in fact we kept on hearing mixed messages from the state department pentagon and the president himself so i asked the russian foreign minister what he thinks about these kind of contradictions and how it's possible to work with the americans when this is the case. supernews it's hard to say what's wrong with america's actions in syria but they are riddled

with contradictions and exhibits the impossibility of negotiating with washington donald trump claimed he would withdraw u.s. troops from syria and other countries but after taking office he's gone back on those promises and my guess is it will be the same this time around such a frivolous approach can aggravate tensions in the entire region and so must be avoided as we've repeatedly told the us this thought they'd understood but nothing's changed another important point that the russian top diplomat made was the fact that at the end of the day everything will have to be agreed with the government in damascus which is a difficult task for all the parties on the ground but it will be up to them not up to those. leaving syria if we are to believe the american president now when it comes to the tricky relationships between the americans and the kurds there was a history of real ups and downs and here's

a report by my colleague don of on that it seemed impossible sounded like crazy talk and yet it happened a moment of unity between republicans and democrats as they both condemned america's disloyalty to its kurdish allies the person who united states is in danger of losing the mandate of heaven this is that. which allies in syria or elsewhere in the middle east will fully trust the word of president trump in the future the thing all of these politicians pundits and channels seem to forget though is that the kurds i used to waking up to a groundhog day of american betrayal the only difference is that it's been going on for more than half a century and hasn't been funny at all. in the fifty's and early sixty's the cia pushed the kurds to revolt against baghdad as

part of the efforts to overthrow their leader a bill karim kasim eventually he was toppled by but the new ruler wasn't a big fan of ideal of kurdish independence so he bombed them into submission bombed with napalm kindly provided by the united states. the kurds seem to either have a short memory or a forgiving heart because in the 70s the u.s. was back on their good side iraq and iran were involved in a border dispute and washington was covered please supplying the minority with weapons once again pitching them against baghdad but then you're a. going to run kissed and made up and all of a sudden the kurds were on their own being blown to pieces as they are supposed transatlantic guardian angel was watching idly even the americans at the time

admitted that keeping their involvement under wraps was simply no excuse this policy was not imparted to our clients who were encouraged to continue fighting here in the context of covert action ours was a cynical enterprise hoovered action should not be confused with missionary work. fast forward to the eighty's and for the us it was the golden decade of big hair metallic umma dawn and m.t.v. for the kurds it was well just another decade of more u.s. betrayal in the late eighty's saddam hussein unleashed his chemical arsenal against them an atrocity looking bound to draw the wrath of the world's policeman but it was still a long time before saddam was to turn from friend to full so american wrath didn't go further than statements like these we want to maintain good political and

economic relations with iraq but the issue of chemical weapons gets in the way of that. in 2003 it looked like the u.s. was finally ready to make amends for its decades of forsaking the kurds helping them was among the pretexts for the invasion of iraq but then even in washington many took such goals with a pinch of salt the kurds have every reason to believe or think that they will be betrayed again by the united states or softening the person contracts or spectacle are inviting turks in to this war earlier trying to bribe them into it could not have been reassuring to the kurds even under the turks before trying to get betraying the kurds that is your point yeah surely your point is and the. because we've betrayed them in the past we should betray them this time and i think we should just we will we will not will not yes they did in 2007 the u.s. let turkey have its way with the kurdish rebels in iraq as ankara launched

a lethal bombing raid against them this is of course nowhere near you full list by 2019 america had left the kurds for dead a few more times both in iraq and syria. american traditions go beyond partisan lines america loves having turkey on thanksgiving going to the pumpkin patch for halloween and launching fireworks on the 4th of july screwing the kurds over is nothing but a decades long political tradition for america and they will abide by it be the democrat or republican still to come here inspired a high would movie and has been dubbed the merchant of death russian victor boot tox r.t. from prison that story and more after the break. about

one of the worst cases of predatory banks stirrers defrauding and abusing the poor and sick that i've seen in a couple years you know we have energy issues are many instances of bankers preying on folks and this is this is really happening. when lawmakers manufacture consent to instill public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. with the flaming. lips be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the

world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there. welcome back russia's justice ministry has classified a prominent anti-corruption non-governmental organization as a foreign agent the group was founded by opposition figure head aleksei not only during a check of the foundation's activities the russian ministry of justice established that it performs the functions of a foreign agent. teleporter joins us live in the studio with more on this now what exactly does the foreign agent label really mean well a foreign agent is basically any organization that gets money from a private citizen or another organization located abroad and works in their benefactors political interests within the russian federation now foreign agents

they face more audits than other n.g.o.s regular n.g.o.s and they also have to declare their status on any official statements they make and when it comes to me is ngo what exactly does that organization do well we know that his n.-g. o. the anti corruption foundation it's a nonprofit and it was founded by the and one of their investigations involved a yacht party with the russian oligarchy politician and some escort ladies another involves corruption allegations involving prime minister dmitry medvedev and now his organization receives money through online donations but actually his organization was suspected of money laundering back in august investigators say that his organization received a large sum of money in foreign currencies between 20162018 that was transferred into their bank accounts through a.t.m. machines and why was this illegal because this organization did not declare itself as a foreign agency which is required by law since july 2012 the investigation is still

going on but we haven't gotten any confirmation that it's connected to the ministry of justice is recent declaration and the ministry still hasn't actually specified why this organization was put on the list of foreign agents tell us about the n.g.o.s reaction to the decision well we've heard reactions from both the foundation's director and the volume self on social media they both claim that their organizations receive no foreign money and that they're exclusively funded by donations made by russian citizens now involving even accused of blood a mere putin of directly ordering the ministry of justice to put his organization on this blacklist so what we're waiting for now is basically to see if the ministry of justice will respond to some of these heavy accusations artist on quarterbacks for bringing us that report. a russian national dubbed by the west as the merchant of death and whose story inspired a hollywood film has told r.t. he believes he is a political prisoner of the u.s.

and an exclusive interview victor boot said he has nothing else to do but fight for his innocence until the very end the u.s. claims he supplied weaponry to the revolutionary armed forces of colombia recognized as a terrorist organization by washington who denies all the accusations he was detained in thailand at the request of the u.s. and extradited 2 years later in 2012 a court sentenced him to 25 years in jail and a $15000000.00 fine last month 7 years into his sons his family was allowed to visit him for the 1st time spoke exclusively to the jailed russian. award of war and the merchant of death that's how western media describes victor boot from moscow he's a political prisoner rejecting his case as unfounded and biased from the start at his trial he pled not guilty and he called the accusations against him a bunch of lies the court decided otherwise and jailed him for 25 years he's now

served a 3rd of that sentence and he's agreed to talk to me from prison because your case is highly political are you being treated differently well of course i've been treated there are 3 because for some reason to be with you deciding that it's on going to a spiritual group or whatever and i was very you know you for in truth been told by e-mail through through and through truthful by e-mail you're going to a limited us firm and general population but on the under very strict supervision and control victor boot describes himself as a political prisoner i asked him what that means this is very 100 percent of all we saw is a political prisoner because i'm healed oh my nation. and i you know i too called theory. and i'm there and think i've got to you didn't do anything else until you live in a. i think i will as a trial like a litmus test or law they you know this option could drive how we can go after us

russians and the status usman couple years ago all the various military going to keep him as an example as a multiple was a blissful whipping salada russians would be multiplied the culprit with us when they go off to their car through regime i asked victor about the fact that he's just had his 1st visit with his wife and daughter thanks to the embassy there for 2 very good to have an additional visits are very grateful and you know it's really good i asked victor about other russian citizens that have been picked up in 3rd countries and taken to the united states in order to be locked away i asked him what the motivation to go after him and other russian citizens really was america just trying to get enough to do you know to suppress the you know russian the most egregious wanderlust sounds on there if it's an eatery one of the government's actual official who is a commercial director of the russian engine manufacturer be shown by this face looks like we're coming back to the medieval ages where the mediterranean pirates

from the coast 'd of the algiers and tunisia of all golan just to hijack the people and doesn't fit and wait until somebody common tried to pay a ransom i asked him about the deals that had been offered to him in the past and currently well they've been doing to trial i'm during the trial where they've been through the public defender that i approach and said well we're going to go through it all your time of a green card to settle you there if you you know tell us some dirt about putin and how corrupt this regime times although i said i have nothing to to do or to know about putting so i have told her to no you can to their own 1st one with offer of the deals that's why i went to the trial i asked victor if you thought there was any hope for him getting out of prison before his 25 year sentence was up they never know it especially in this political climate which america. well to help the 1st i'm sure something is under military and i'm sure something is coming my way through your boot offered up a pretty strong and consistent critique of the u.s.

legal system and how he says it is being used against russian citizens moot points to what he calls conspiracy laws as a method of imprisoning people not for actually committing crimes but for offhand comments made to undercover officers boots says he's not the only political prisoner being held and that the efforts of the russian embassy have definitely improved his circumstances. r.t. new york. lastly we bring you more breaking news this hour this time from turkey where the turkish leader has just announced that ankara has started a military offensive in syria present and says it is aimed at the kurdish workers party and islamic state terrorists bring you more details on that developing story next hour. and that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website party dot com for the details on all those stories and many more.
