watching our team for national coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 3 pm welcome to the program several countries have spoken out against the resignation of bolivian president evo morales denouncing the event as a coup the bolivian opposition claims the police are currently seeking to detain moralists but the chief of police denies there's a warrant for his arrest i did notice in front of the world and the bolivian people that a police official publicly said he was instructed to execute an illegal arrest warrant against me in addition violent groups assaulted my home this destroys the rule of law. now these pictures purportedly showing wilson's house which as he said was vandalized his resignation falls and weeks of violent protests and pressure from

the army to quit now we're joined in the studio by artist for more on this so how exactly did we get to this point well since october since last month that's when the presidential elections went underway in bolivia the country has been and gulf and protests a lot of people were left disenchanted of but a very large majority of the population they spilled into the streets to voice their support for morality on the other hand so it has been a mixed picture as some people have been demanding new elections a democratic process they were left very very much disenchanted with the vote while others have been voicing their support to the well then president evo morales let's have a look at how the events have been unfolding. i

want to denounce what is taking place before the bolivian people and the entire world as you know brothers of the press this is a coup d'etat against a democratically elected government. and at this moment it's important to say to the bolivian people it's our obligation it's my obligation as an indigenous president and the president of all bolivians to look for peace. so all the protesters they were obviously they thought that the election was a. so they wanted a more democratic process but instead when the army and the police sided with them

that the very fact kick started a chain reaction which has led to what is now a power vacuum in bolivia because the reason for morale is stepping down he himself said he had done it for his country he hoped that maybe the protests would kind of come down that maybe they would well now because they were getting out of hand with essentially nobody in authority to bring the perpetrators of violence to justice and there has been plenty of cases of over alarming cases of violence i should say for instance protesters the one radio stations chief to a tree in one of the instances in another a male one bolivian town was tied and she was dragged through a street by the protesters by the young green more but others reportedly set fire to a house of one of the governors so plenty of alarming cases of personal violence with

nobody apparently with nobody apparently to bring those people to justice so we've had these severe cases of protests since the general election but he's been president for quite a while has his popularity just plummeted well again he had won the election in october with about a 10 percent margin but again this is not an argument that protesters are going to take because obviously from their standpoint the whole vote was rigged but indeed morale as has been at the helm of the country for 14 years he has been viewed in his early years especially as the voice of the poor he managed to give a boost to the country's economy some decades about a decade ago and his fellow leftist powers the country's leftist powers who are still standing beside him they see this whole thing as a dissension is a military coup and a lot of countries that have agreed have. they have voiced their concerns as well over the situation like countries like argentina sworn russia will soon join this

quiet latin american voices saying that while the situation is somewhat alarming. we are alarmed as who watched the dramatic developments and believe we are well briefed the file and started by the opposition have prevented even more all this from fulfilling his presidential mandate we extremely concerned by the fact that you're and then internal crisis their ability of the government to find constructive solutions were swept away by what looks like a directed coup and where does the country go from here but well again we should look at what the protesters want and what has happened because again they wanted a transition of power they want to basically democratic process the democratic process of electing their leader but the process of transition of power that was in the system of the political system of bolivia by design it doesn't work anymore because the 2 successes the 2 persons next in line to take power in case of

morality is resignation they have resigned themselves to themselves for instance the vice president and the president of the country is senate they left their offices so they can pick up the can pick up the banners so to speak anymore so right now there's a power vacuum and the country's military looks like the most valuable like the strongest power on the ground and a lot of people are concerned because of this because well simply historically when a military one when the military comes into power in latin america it has rarely ended well r.t. is eager to thank you for joining us in the studio with that report. now these are pictures from the country's capital showing anti-terrorists protesters setting objects on fire political analyst and former u.n. official francisco kalani says the bolivian military has conducted a coup. would he be a fatal. situation of almost i would say acquitted

so one has to see the school against more of this week in the context of american policy find to recover their faith with the d.n.a. of primacy in their in the region i mean basically that i mean here they're you know somewhere you can send us a hand it's good it's back and we're happy i think more out of this avoided to the war i mean he made a very great gesture for the future not just because you have a good cup called the un. i mean t.v. take the phone talk to terrorists. and say look here i have to prove i mean what army especially me to resign and that's a good that's a good democracy he won the election and the american states are going to see him by the date that. syrian president bashar al assad has denied accusations that

government forces have been targeting civilians and an exclusive interview with r.t. he said the war in syria is about winning hearts and minds he also touched on the us putting syrian oil. well the u.k. state mandated b.b.c. amnesty international they're alleging your government killed 11000 people using so-called barrel bombs from 20 or 12 that would be a violation of the un security council resolution 213000000 and indeed human rights watch is pointing to satellite imagery you're talking about you tube videos saying there are fake videos these are some of nature nations is biggest n.g.o.s and broadcasters no war is a good war this is self-evident truth you always. victims in any war but the talk about an army or state to go in killed 3000000000

and its own people this is not realistic for the simple reason the war in syria was about capturing the hearts. of the people and you cannot capture the heart of the people by bombarding. the syrian army with fighting the terrorist. whether there is a. fire that affected some 3000000000 that could have happened and you can have investigations but how could the syrian people support this state and their president and they're all me if they are killing them. the russians are saying that the us is stealing $30000000.00 of oil a month from northern syria is this a trump while getting chipped in the geneva talks why would the net oil exporter like the usa be interested in $30000000.00 of oil a month no things i says the started spiking syrian oil or oil in

2014 they had to partner with. and his coterie and the american where the cia or others so what trump did is just announced that he had the truth he didn't do it he didn't he's not talking about something new even when some of the kurds thought of looting the syrian oil the american with their partners so it's about money in this pot over it and that what trumps it recently but it's not the new it or it's not related to the talks at all. but arguably were you not more angry because obviously that would be a violation of the 4th geneva convention on pillaging of countries resources of course will include everything. perfectly this is routine but there's no international order i should and there's no international law. but this is nothing new to be frank but only during the war that america always try

to do other countries. in different tweet in different ways regarding p.r. not only always or money or financial resources as they do their rights. their rights political rights. you can watch the full interview in just under an hour here on our team to national or any time on our website r.t. dot com. microsoft c.e.o. bill gates comes under fire after his joke about reducing his tax bill twitter users have criticized him for greed and for being rich his words have made some others wonder whether capitalism is losing its appeal in the us are 2 saskia taylor explains. 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 and we're going to keep counting and you're going to have to pay. for well we're going to double. 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 turned the dream

into a reality he's a bit bruised after his recent full from grace why well he had the old data t. to talk about keeping his hard earned money in his pocket if i got paid 20000000000 that's fine. 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 starve on the streets i see sons and the news 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. wish i was rich to complain about paying taxes and make headlines and trend on twitter so that my voice is heard the god forbid if you're middle class lower class you don't get heard shouldn't exist don't trump seems to have buried his head in the sand we believe in the ever kindreds not in the socialist nightmare but it's getting harder to deny that the word that used to be dirty unutterable or at best marginalized has gone mainstream socialism is having a renascence or rather capitalism is having a very bad day 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 the 99 percent might be happy but the one percent is

feeling lost at sea with the changing tied some like gates resort to nothis humor but others have decided to throw their hat into the presidential ring to try and protect themselves from within but for those who are blessed with the gift of shop with all the belief they can wrangle a 4 year stay at the big white house there's really nothing left to do but croy the idea vilifying wealthy people is so bogus i care. that. our time has come again comrades open the most to live and raise we've got some meddling to do. still the common general elections in spain fail to produce a majority when are leaving the country and deadlock that story and more after the break.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if that. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation will community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. for a mate in the shallowness. welcome back spain has just held a mother general election in which no party appears to have gained a majority 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 our correspondent charlotte devinsky reports from barcelona. socialists played this political gamble calling this election in the hope of shoring up their vote actually lost some seats compared to april's election perhaps the biggest political story of the night was the gainesville books another party on the right of the political spectrum this party only entered into the spanish parliament for the 1st

time in april then they had $24.00 votes now just a few months later they've more than doubled that meaning that they are now the 3rd largest party in the spanish parliament let's have a listen to what the leader of walks had to say. only 11 months ago we weren't represented in regional parliament nor in the european parliament or spanish parliament today we are the 3rd political party in spain we have 52 seats is also a suggestion that because of this boost the party's on the right that they could also be now looking to form their own coalition and that would trigger some fear is in catalonia in particular given the vox a very hard line on how they want to deal with the independence movements across spain now you may recall that there has been a lot of violent clashes in protests over the last few weeks this came after cattle

and leaders although pro independence was given lengthy jail terms as a court in madrid that sparked more tension here more violence we saw in the weeks leading up to the selection clashes between the police and protest is. good. good. good. good. we know the parties will be waking up this morning reaching out to the parties to trying to walk about a coalition for this feature or forming a spanish government but those talks if they do indeed reach anything could be wreaks months before spain sees

a government put in place we discuss what could come next with madrid based journalist martin roberts i think the main thing looking forward is that both the socialists you know who the acting government the more natural part of them most between them they've actually paid the price for not reaching an agreement in the past 6 months because the seat tali has actually for them. that leaves them even fall short of the you know the magical majority of them than they were you know just 6 months ago so i mean the big question again looking forward is whether they're going to be able to settle their differences with each other not only the us is whether they're going to be able to reach out and. get a lot of the regional nationalist parties on site at least to form some sort of a pact overwise we have yet more deadlock. the nigerian film line heart has been banned from the oscars best international film category for having too

much dialogue in english it was nigeria's 1st mission for an academy award in 5 years english is one of the country's official languages after being a british colony for over a century. and now it's time to p.r. intake. and risk losing everything in this. country if you want to. know depending on me and i've come. now to qualify for the oscars international category a film must be more than 40 minutes long of non american production and how most of the dialogue in a language other than english hearts director is furious over the decision and says english connects to people in the country. this movie represents the way we speak as my dear ians this includes english which acts as a bridge between the $500.00 plus languages spoken in our country that by making one nigeria it's no different to how french connects communities in former french colonies we did not choose who colonized us as ever at this film and many like it

is proudly my tyrian. the situation sparked debates online with some condemning the decision to disqualify the movie c.j. abbassi a member of the nigerian oscar committee and co-writer of lime hart 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 interim cases that make different nationalities unique in themselves so as much as you're not seen pages bring in any film as even if it's in english just take it you know 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 allow one of our lingo. lingua franca is pigeon english pigeon english if you speak in 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 an entire film in pidgin english. 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 and 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. that's our global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our web site r t dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. would. be put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go to the

press was like before 3 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. city. you know world of big partisan law and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's talk for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. without the ever present constant dread. of the free money. we would have

a day of reckoning and prices would revert back to reflexive climb command. and there would be a catastrophic trap door opening underneath the us economy because the us 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 us dollar better than a doornail. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important it's accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability stay in her manner more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely harmless . because. it does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while

the damage is being done far away this is something else this must be done even and i mean look. this is the moon and you mustn't be doing to me man and i'm stung seemed to understood that when. isis the most brutally violent terror group in modern history the isis now controls a broad swath of land in iraq and syria and overseas an estimated 6000000 people. the army seem to powerless to stop the advance this law mixtape group has issued a decree stating that any man killed by a woman would go to hell prompting many kurdish women to take up arms against the militants.
