1:02 am
a result of the election presidential election on the 20th of october livea choosing between mr moralez carlos mesa the opposition candidate and a 3rd party. i want to denounce what is taking place before the bolivian people and the entire world as you know rather suppress this is a coup d'etat against democratically elected government. what will means. discussion is the role that the military played in all of this because many many officials many protest leaders of the moralist reside now that it was when the chief of the army came out and said enough is enough you've got to go that he resigned it is it is as of yet unclear whether he did so as own choice or
1:03 am
whether he was forced to resign by the military which would make it a coup. i mean it would be proceedings. i resigned the presidency why did i decide to resign so that carlos mesa and luis fernando camacho do not continue to persecute my brothers the union leaders the irony here is that carlos mesa back in 2002 he was vice president of the country and the president carried out a massacre a crackdown violent crackdown dozens and dozens of people killed against protesters that were demanding nationalization of gas resources in the country the president then resigned mr mesa became president acting president and the year later he a year later you reside who forced him to resign was evel morales who was a union leader back then a protest leader and on a wave of public support he was to become president he has ruled the country for 14
1:04 am
years since and the irony here is that now the rules have been reversed that is evil morality has been forced to resign by carlos mesa who's leading leading the protest ever more out as a staunch critic of the united states of its foreign policy mr mason is on the you know the opposite he says that he'll improve relations with the united states he's involved in something of a scandal recently came back from the united states and his spokesperson the clear that he just being given $10000000.00 by usaid the united states government which mr mesa denied nevertheless you know if any other country given a presidential candidate $10000000.00 there would have been election meddling in this case well nobody's saying anything is the mesa denies that he got the money nevertheless this is this is a very turbulent time for bolivia because there's a lot of change that's going to happen it is unclear whether mr morale is or his successor is going to run in the election unclear if mr mason will now be president and if he is the be radical radical changes in the ways things are run. what i
1:05 am
gather there while the 2 officials next in line to take over the government also left their positions the vice president and the president of the senate some fights the site fears for the safety of their families legislators are expected to meet to agree on an interim administrative leadership for the country local journalists will hand the row but here are no now reports affect them and went there and that's when i saw that i am now in the southern part of powers a few hours after the resignation of evo morales when we expected that announcement to bring peace to the streets where the people have been rallying for 19 days evo morales claimed that there was an attempt to arrest him illegally and that someone broke into his house meanwhile opposition leader louis fan and reports that armed forces have confiscated libras plane so he cannot leave the country a group of soldiers is looking for morale is in his home region there are still
1:06 am
lots of protests in the streets one of the most troubling developments is that the venezuelan embassy was taken by men in hoods who had explosives with them during the assault one man was wounded this morning after news of the resignation broke the vice president expressed concerns about the constitutional crisis the country is facing no people have taken up the presidential seat according to the constitution as the president the vice president of the heads of both chambers of the bolivian parliament have resigned there is a need for parliament together and discuss these issues former president and electoral candidate carlos messer has made a plea that the constitutional order be respected so that morale is no grounds to talk of a coup the former head of the supreme electoral tribunal and the former vice president of this body were arrested on criminal charges that's what's been happening this night. or several latin american countries have spoken out against the resignation of morale among them argentina venezuela mexico and cuba they denounced the event
1:07 am
as a kid. venezuela's president has called on bolivia's allies to protect morality his presidency while the organization of american states together with the u.s. and canada is calling for a new election that will sure professor of latin american studies at the city university of new york says the removal of morale is a victory fanie a liberal forces. who are still firing who it's our. this is. the jury for your liberalism it's for the forces in bolivia. who want to push back this itch and it is favoring the scenery or the workers so this cortical new president. it remains to be seen but it sure seems like she will up for the agenda of the rich of those forces based in something as we know
1:08 am
bolivia is a very divided country racially and class was and as it will says the struggle will continue. ok well let's move to spain which is just held a general election in which no party is going to majority there the whole point of the vote was to break the country's political deadlock it was the 2nd general election this year and the 4th since 2015 so more details now from our correspondents following events for us in barcelona good morning charlotte as we said there this whole event was meant to sort of solve stalemate was in it but that hasn't happened. that's right the votes are in and it seems that the political landscape here in spain is as fragmented as ever the reality is no one party is able to form a majority government because they haven't hit that magic number of 176 seats the
1:09 am
closest they came to it was the socialist party led by pedro sanchez who have actually lost seats in this election compared to the election we saw just a few months ago in april they're now sitting on a 120 seats the reality is there has to be coalition talks now to form a government but that's the problem and that's why this election was called that 2nd election in a year because the parties after a pause election just couldn't get together they couldn't form a coalition government and the reality is that the changing in the votes here has sort of perhaps favored more parties to the right of the political spectrum as i said pedro sanchez socialist party losing a couple of seats but we also saw a loss of seats for pradelle most here in spain whilst we saw other parties like the people's party and vox actually gaining seats in this election in fact a vox you only entered into the spanish parliament for the 1st time in april then gaining 24 seats of more than doubled their tally now have 52 seats in this
1:10 am
you spanish parliament let's have a listen to what the leader all before. have to say. it is not but at least one of those only 11 months ago we weren't represented in regional parliament nor in the european parliament or spanish parliament today we're the 3rd political party in spain we have $52.00 seats. so if the socialists can't form a coalition then there's also a suggestion that these parties to the right of this political spectrum could get together that would see the people's party and see vox joining up maybe with somebody else now that is going to cause a lot of fears intensions if that happens particularly in areas like catalonia and that's because vaux have had a very hardline approach to the independence movement that's been going on for here particularly over the last few years they've said that they would like to strip the
1:11 am
semi autonomous region of its power to crack down on the independent strife now you may recall that there has been a lot of violent clashes in protests over the last few weeks this came after cattle leaders although pro independence were given lengthy jail terms following as a court in madrid that raised there's tensions here and there was that violence that erupted on the street between the police and the protestors that take a look at what's been happening in the background of this election.
1:12 am
now as a result of those violent clashes there was a high police presence here. in catalonia not just of the local most of the squatter but also of spanish police who came here to help monitor the election to make sure that the votes could get under way and that they weren't issues voters in this region as well as across spain had a sense of a bit of voter apathy and frustration the fact that this is the 4th election in 4 years in the 2nd this year this is what they had to say. it's true that many people perceived sanctions as weak you felt that he did not do everything he had to do maybe that's why people did not vote for him in short the results are worse than expected well i think the parties to reach an agreement so that we don't have to vote again and that the situation in spain and kind of see some progress you know whether that's going to get going to the truth is i don't
1:13 am
know nor will happen not even sanchez now i think no one knows i hope and trust that they will form a progressive government as promised by the socialists or whoever but police they must stop the right wing it's a real threat they want to take away our fundamental rights. the reality is this is another spanish election without a clear intention as to how government will be formed this coalition talks will begin in earnest we know the recent years has called for other parties to be generous but the reality is this coalition talks could take months if they yield any results at all. ok thank you there for us in barcelona but we did discuss the elections to you with independent journalist martin roberts to find out what could come next. i think the main thing looking forward is that both the socialists you know who the acting government the more natural partners
1:14 am
their loss between them they've actually paid the price for not reaching an agreement in the past 6 months because they see tully has actually fall and. that leaves them even far short of the you know the magical majority of them than they were just 6 months ago so i mean the big question again looking forward is whether we're going to be able to settle differences with each other not only the us is whether they're going to be able to reach out to. get a lot of the regional nationalist parties on side at least to form some sort of a practice overwise we have yet more deadlock. now the nigerian film line heart is been banned from the oscars best international film category for having too much dialogue in english it was nigeria's 1st submission for an academy award in 5 years english is one of the country's official languages though with nigeria having been subject to over 100 years of british colonial rule . bly and her is in severe debt and now it's time to pay up in turkey interest
1:15 am
isn't everything in this room and gets a little company if you want to lose their child and they are depending on me and i've come. well to qualify for the oscars international category a film must be more than 40 minutes long of non american production and have most of the dialogue in a language other than english hearts director there was furious over the decision and says that english connects people in the country. this movie represents the way we speak as my dear ian's this includes english which acts as a bridge between the $500.00 plus languages spoken in our country that by making us one nigeria it's no different to how french connects communities in former french colonies we did not choose who colonized us as ever this film and many like it is proudly nigerian this did spark debate online with some condemning the decision to
1:16 am
disqualify the movie c.j. abassi their member of the nigerian oscar committee in co-writer of lion heart says nigeria's past wasn't taken into consideration by the academy. being inclusive is also about being nuanced also about on the stand in the cases that make different nationalities unique in themselves so as much as you know say hey just bring in any film as even if it's in english just take it you know what you also have to recognize the authenticity of the things that make. each nation unique in itself so like for example would a country like nigeria we one of our lingo. lingua franca use pidgin english pigeon english if you speak english you know english speakers would understand the word but it sounds like english so in that sense doesn't qualify to be i mean should it be disqualified if i made it an entire film in pidgin english
1:17 am
should it be disqualified but then that is authentic to the war that i come from you know what i'm saying so like they are nuances to these things that it's not just as black and white as people are trying to make it and all kinds of conversations around it should be welcomed and encouraged i think. watching us internationally have more nice and a couple of. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have a crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic to follow only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
1:18 am
with the president cost. of the free money. we would have a day of reckoning. and prices would revert back to reflect supply and demand. and there would be a catastrophic trap door opening underneath the u.s. economy because the u.s. won't do it for itself china will do it for the in the form of announcing as a surprise $20000.00 tons of gold and the introduction of a gold backed crypto currency this will kill the u.s. dollar better than adorning. hello again i would joke by the microsoft chief bill gates about paying too much taxes provoke criticism on twitter leading to some to wonder whether capitalism is
1:19 am
perhaps losing its appeal in the united states. has more. america the great the mecca of capitalism the place where the roads of paved with gold and fortunes are made the promise of prosperity brought millions to the shores of the u.s. the american dream was sold far and wide and it said that success would be rewarded the pursuing your personal desires and happiness wasn't selfish or wrong it was the very basis of a flourishing nation oh how the tide has turned in scenes that would send shivers down the spines of the founding fathers the us is turning red no not republican red even was russian red what these billionaires to stop being freeloaders do you know. all your assets where ever located
1:20 am
and we're going to keep counting and you're going to have to pay. for well and we're going to do. the absurdity for those who are banking pun intended on the long jetty of the american dream it's a bit of a pharma take multi-billionaire microsoft founder bill gates who turns the dream into a reality he's a bit bruised after his recent full from grace why well he had the audacity to talk about keeping his hard earned money in his pocket if i'd had 20000000000 that's fine. but you know when you say i should pay 100000000000. but i am sorry. ok so he said he was joking but it's not $776.00 anymore and for those who are writing the red wave it was just too little too late how dare this greedy capitalist seek to enrich himself while his fellow comrades
1:21 am
starve on the streets i say send the engineers of people to the gulag. if you worked very very hard and earned $5000.00 a day and worked every day 7 days a week $365.00 days from the day christopher columbus landed in the new world you would still not have $1000000000.00 nobody earns a $1000000000.00. was said to reach to complain about paying taxes and make headlines and trenton readers so that my worse is heard by the guy from beat if you're middle class alone cause you don't get hurt billionaires shouldn't exist don't trump seems to have buried his head in the sand we believe in the ever kindred not in the socialist nightmare but it's getting harder it is neither the word that used to be dirty or at best marginalized has gone mainstream
1:22 am
socialism is having a rare nascence overall that capitalism is having a very bad day movements like occupy which just 8 years ago was a bunch of annoying people blocking up the roads have gone global and become international talking points and politicians like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have tapped into the anger and disillusionment of those people who have just grown tired of those greedy capitalists but also turns out that campaigns for radical progressive reform run pretty cheap because all they had to do was update some familiar imagery and what used to be shown on american t.v. screens as a warning against a dangerous ideology has become the top stone of many a campaign speech america is many things to many people and it is in the stream you boys ought to try a little taste of dr resumes for. decision is as follows. are

private property no for you. the 99 percent might be happy. but the one percent is feeling lost at sea with the changing target some like gates resort to novice humor lovers have decided to throw their hat into the presidential ring to try and protect themselves from with then but for those who are blessed with the gift of sharp wit all the belief they can wrangle a 4 year stay at the big white house there's really nothing left to do but cry the idea of vilifying wealthy people is so bogus people can not only see the i'm emotion on your face but hear it in your voice when you talk about this lee why we're here. it's. our time has come again it's open at the most

intriguing he wanted to know if it was genuine were a promise to put it in front of the president i would call karl rove a dear friend. i've seen a man a far sighted courage put america on a war footing. and protect us against a brutal enemy in a dangerous conflict that will shape this new century and no formal response was given to the iranians at all i'm grateful to have been witness to history. and the argument was that whatever could come out of a negotiation with the iranians. even more could be achieved by simply removing the regime in iraq. in a way to sum up the argument however a principal in the bush administration said that we simply do not talk to evil. and as tony zinni said former central command commander if you like the rock you'll love iraq that is a 10 to 14 year.
