sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there. disturbing images from hong kong where protests are set a man on fire a portly from being pro chinese. also this hour several countries have denounced events in bolivia as a coup entreprise a resigned apparently under pressure from the military on weeks of street violence . plus syrian president bashar al assad shares his thoughts and an exclusive interview with r.t. that's the 1st time he's spoken to an international channel in more than a. minute come on with other countries. in different ways in different ways regarding the boys or money or. resources to

their rights. deal it's political rights. you're watching our to international bring you your life news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. shocking footage has emerged of a man being set on fire in hong kong after a verbal dispute with protesters and warning you may find the following images upsetting. was going to look all over the lot. these are not live pictures from hong kong now the man was taken to hospital in a critical condition earlier in the day and anti-government protesters were shot from close range by a police officer police later said the man had tried to grab the officer's weapon and that he didn't intend to hurt him violent clashes between protesters and police

have left more than 60 people injured or to scale anti-government protests in hong kong started in june and have turned increasingly volatile since then. we're now joined live by hong kong based political scientist jess of chang so today we now have 2 people left in critical condition however we only ever see demands for investigations into police brutality why do you think that is. if you strongly believe the chinese authorities. these sites. and is being reaffirmed in the recent flow of the central committee of the party the top leaders you received carried learn in shanghai and he firmly praised his work and this was very much interpreted as supporting the position of the king nor concessions no more concessions to the

protestants and. this is certainly unfortunately because without a process of reconciliation you really cannot resolve the political crisis. hong kong protesters label themselves as pro-democracy protesters and yet we have this incident today that's not exactly democratic at all why do you think the protests has evolved to this scale of violence. well after 3 clash between the police and the protestant jewel it has been exerts of the issue of the contradiction and the rising level of. unfortunately but it certainly shows a ness to start a process of reconciliation you agreed to the demand of setting up an impending commission of inquiry otherwise. the hatred between the protestors and

the police will only be worsened the problem is today no longer expect any concessions from the of fourteen's in this. question is who do police only serve to demonstrate. and get the satisfaction. and as a result of this people in hong kong do not see the light at the end of the tunnel . so far today the majority of the media has been covering the story with a protester being shot by police more than the story of this man has been set on fire why do you think that is. well the sympathy is still very much on the side of the pot as. recent popular opinion surveys indicate 58 percent 52 percent of the people in hong kong give me that the major responsibility of the of the of the crisis lie with the government percent believe

they live with the police force and only 1.3 percent of either the live of the protestants so the problem still enjoy the support of the community which believes that the administration is our organ and do this wrong he still refuses to make any concessions even agreeing to the 2nd half of the pendant commission of inquiry which is supported by it gives it to something percent of the people in hong kong. if it's so unlikely that the government will bend to the protesters demands how can this conflict be resolved. well the 2nd up of an independent commission of inquiry certainly will be the appropriate our starting point you know must be a dialogue with the pro democracy in that there's no doubt in the hope of the union

beaters of theory as to its read institutions i do you really. need a stepping down of certain. ministers including the separately the secretary for security and even if he'd accepted it was so terribly learned but your understand such conservations are more a made clear. hong kong based political scientist just of chang thank you for your time and your comments. several countries have spoken out against the resignation of bolivian president evo morales denouncing me about it as a coup the libyan opposition claims the police are currently seeking to detain moralists but the chief of police denies there is a warrant for his arrest. i dunno 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 coup destroys the rule

of law these pictures perform way show morale says house which was as he said vandalized his resignation falls on weeks of violent protests and pressure from the army to quit i discuss all the latest developments in bolivia with interest out of . since october since last month that's when the presidential elections went under way in bolivia the country has been and gulf and protests a lot of people were left disenchanted of but the very large majority of the population they spilled into the streets to voice their support for morality on the other and 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. and

i want to denounce what is taking place before the bolivian people at the entire world because you know brothers of the press this is a coup d'etat against a democratically elected government. and. you. know me 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 rigged so they wanted a more democratic process but instead when the army and the police sided with them that the very fact 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 voiced hope of that maybe the protests would kind of calm 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 for instance protesters the one radio stations chief to a tree others who forcibly 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 tell you 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 in the country's leftist powers who are still standing beside him they see this whole thing as a essentially is a military coup and a lot of countries have agreed have they have voiced their concerns as well over the situation like countries like argentina and sworn russia also joined this quiet latin american voices saying that while the situation is somewhat alarming we are alarmed as we watch the dramatic developments we believe where waves of violence

started by the opposition have prevented even morale is from failing his presidential mandate we are extremely concerned by the fact that during an internal crisis debility of the government to find constructive solutions was swept up. by what looks like a directed coup and where does the country go from here 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 well 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. these are pictures from the country's capital showing and time around us protesters burning a coffin with the former president's name on it political analysts and journalists on variable check believes the u.s. backed opposition didn't want to give the bolivian leader a 2nd chance. what is happening can believe it's

a coup. that will serve course in the interests of opposition which is closely linked to the bolivian elites and the worst particularly the united states to call the situation and. give the 2nd chance. ever more all this warm elections he would win elections if there would be. of course there was no interest or the of the part of the of the so-called protesters or the opposition to give him this chance. syrian president bashar al assad has denied accusations that government forces have been targeting civilians in an exclusive interview with r.t. he's going under presenter actioner tansey he touched on the u.s. leading the country's oil as well he also shared his views on the actions of the kurds and turkey and his country. how did i says roy roth suddenly in 2014 out of

nowhere after nothing. in iraq and syria at the same time with american armament. the be physically the russians are saying that the us is stealing $30000000.00 of oil a month from northern syria is this a trump budgeting chip in the geneva talks why would net oil export or like the usa be interested in $30000000.00 of oil a month no things i says the started spiking syrian oil and oil in 2014 they had to partner with her. and his coterie and the america where the cia or others the american always try to loot other countries in in different ways in different ways regarding peer not only always or money or financial resources they do their rights. their rights political rights every

every other right the historical role at least after world war 2 and as for girlish forces are they just tired after so many years i mean your understanding is they took money from. the united states the cia i know you're welcoming them back you're worth 1st of all there is the if is not only could it's mix of curtain rods and others think and when we talk about that is the of because in the ability to prevent. the measured it because they had good relation of the government and the measured it all because support that support the government but this which is called the id is the one who is being supported by the americans publicly they are moment their money they smuggled oil together. they are american. agents to be with most of them i wouldn't hold in 30 all of them i don't know. all

of that but they're part of the policy during the last few years is to invite the american trustee to be angry when the american wants to leave. and to say we don't want to join the syrian army simply had you saying exactly what mr de one would say from a protest you have all of them actually they heard his own agenda which is to part his own agenda as muslim brotherhood and the american agenda as a puppet so it's to pot but they work intend to usher in death. but at the same time though those group of people why do you give him the excuse and the reason to invite syria that doesn't mean invasion is legal is illegal in every things all the world but to give him the pretext because he's been known as you for year that he wanted to invade the northern part of syria and he

wanted to clean that area from the terrorists and he mean the people waited because it gave him the. excuse but what happened that's why they were to blame but erdogan has invaded. you can watch the whole interview in just under 3 hours here on r.t. international or any time on our web site r.t. dot com. still to come the apparent suicide of a co-founder of the white house that's rescue group is being blamed on russia by the british media find out why after the break. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in

tweeted that he was an am i 6 by. the white house is co-founder cimzia missouri is a former agent of britain's am i 6 who has been spotted all over the world including the balkans and a middle east his connections to terrorist groups were reported back during his mission in kosovo so even without it feels a little bizarre to point the finger at russia has there been any reaction from moscow as of yet well not yet but of course we do expect money as a catalyst to come forward with some sort of a reaction of course dismissing all these accusations ask complete rubbish but the white house are quite controversial now hailed as fearless rescue workers by the western media the white house this have been accused of associating with al qaida and other terrorist groups inside syria photographs and videos show members of the

civil defense organization posing with jihad it they have also been accused of staging chemical attacks used as justification by western nations to carry out strikes against the syrian military and its allies. the white house activity was haven't criticized by russia and now this tweet and his staff all come quite in handy for another wave of news about the hand of the kremlin david thank you for joining us in the studio with that report. now 3 u.s.

democratic senators have sent a request for documents on donald trump's alleged communication with attorney general william barr trump is said to have wanted bart to hold a news conference to back the president or a much discussed phone call to his ukrainian counterpart some media site anonymous sources or those supposedly familiar with the matter alleging misconduct in trump's call but have provided no solid details or names here's artie's moppin on a growing trend in their coverage. donald trump has been caught by the media once again this time it's for asking william barr the u.s. attorney general to hold a press conference saying the president had been cleared of any wrongdoing and abuse of power asking the department of justice to work for his own personal and political game shameful the media is denouncing this wrongdoing not surprising it's one of those 'd trump stories where it is it is both shocking and not surprising at the same time of course of course he asked william barr he said in

the past of course president trump thinks that bill barr would come out to defend him well hold on this press conference never happened and trump says that he never proposed it the story of the emmys in washington post's of course picked up by fake news c.n.n. is totally untrue and just another fake news story with enormous sources that don't exist well the washington post says they've got it they caught him red handed and how does the washington post say that they know donald trump committed this dastardly deed prison term wanted attorney general william p. boone to hold a news conference people familiar with the mets and said yeah it's another one of those stories in $29000.00 america nothing actually happened but someone overheard someone else tell somebody that there was a conversation about it is the making of a headline yes american journalists have always relied on inside sources for details and fact checking but there's

a lot more to reporting than that lately stories like that relying on hearsay and lacking any solid details have been plastered all over the t.v. screens remember the story about the snakes and alligators apparently donald trump one of the most full of them bursting all along the u.s. border with the new york times reporting it's based on interviews with more than a dozen white house and administration officials directly involved ok president had often talked about fortifying a border wall with a water filled trench. stocked with snakes or alligators prompting aides to seek a cost estimate but just like the press conference this never actually happened take your mind back to when yahoo news reported that over the war donald trump was going to scrap the sanctions on russia as soon as he entered the white house a new report tonight suggests that from the earliest days of downtimes presidency his administration was working hard to lift more easy u.s. sanctions against russia one pending question is why the trumpet ministration has

considered lifting academic sanctions on russia in fact donald trump has not lifted a single sanction against russia he's imposed more now dear a member when donald trump was planning to fire robert muller in order to protect himself from the investigation president was considering firing special prosecutor robert maher and now 7 months later the new york times is confirming april ryan's report and adding that the president actually ordered the firing he has made progress in his effort to lay the groundwork for firing well yeah that one didn't happen either this is the new normal for american media this just again inside sources say that they heard someone say that someone said donald trump is planning a voodoo witchcraft ceremony to resurrect adult hitler from the dead expect that headline tomorrow the donald trump reality show networks like c.n.n. are making more money in terms of profits than they've ever made off with the

donald trump reality show and very little of it and i speak as a former reporter for the new york times very little of it counts as news. yeah it's kind of blogs it would spur less gets a carnival it's i mean you know the problem is trump is not consistent in anything that he says or does i mean i thought both sides the media. you know doesn't really do news anymore is it and in a way it lows these kinds of. tweets because trump that you know it's always remarkable the media is complicit but it's a kind of it's it's a non-reality based dela vision show and and trump gets a lot of air time and the media makes a lot of money that's a global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in.

world is. shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. without ever present cost and correct. 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 trapdoor 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 a doornail. hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lebeau big. in the political left tonight the age of the gag order is under way and is boris
