capital there are reports of unrest following news of the president's departure a number of buses were torched and the houses of opposition figures were allegedly targeted along with police stations incidents were also reported to any number of other cities in the country i discuss all the ways developments in bolivia with interest on them. 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. but

. i want to denounce what is taking place before the bolivian people at the entire world as you know brothers of the press this is a coup d'etat against a democratically elected government. you. know me and there's this moment it's in. working 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 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 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 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 essentially is a military coup and a lot of countries have agreed have they have voiced their concerns as well over the situation room. 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 to 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 away 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 that well a lot of people are concerned because of this because well simply historically one 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 anti-royalist protesters burning a coffin with the former president's name on it political analyst and former u.n. official francisco clonic believes the bolivian military has conducted it could.

leave you. you know a situation of almost i would say acquitted so one has to see this go against more of this we've gone of american policy trying to recover their favor they didn't want to or very much. in the region i mean basically throughout i mean here they're used north american u.s.a. hands and just couldn't get more out i think more out of it i voided the figure of war when he made a very great gesture for the people not to sit. people who could have called the us. i mean me take the phone talk to terrorists. and say look. here i have to prove i mean what are me explain we need to restart and that's we could have but to give the market he won the election of the american

people going to church and by the. syrian president bashar al assad has denied accusations that government forces have been targeting civilians and an exclusive interview with r.t. is going underground host afshin rattansi he touched on the u.s. as looting of his country's oil he also shared his views on the actions of the kurds and turkey and his country how did i says roy suddenly in 2014 out of nowhere of course nothing. in iraq and syria at the same time with american armament. the be theoretically of the russians are saying that the us is stealing $30000000.00 of oil from northern syria is this a trump budgeting chip in the geneva talks why would need to export or like the usa be interested in $30000000.00 of oil a month no things i says the started splitting syrian oil and looting syrian oil in

2014 they had to partner with her. and he's called tori and the american with the cia or others the american always try to loot other countries in indifferent twee in different ways regarding p.r. not only always or money or financial resources they do their rights their rights political rights every every other right the historical role of toward war 2 and as for girlies forces are they just tired after serving the 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 this is not only kurds it's mix of kurds and of and others 2nd when we talk about that is the of because in the. present part of the measured it was 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 people id is the one who is being supported by the americans publicly they armament their money they smuggled oil together. they are american. agents to be with most of them i wouldn't i wouldn't 30 all of them i don't know all of them but they're probably policy doing 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 do one would of d.s.d. of all of them actually they had to go and has 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 were intended to usher in death. but at the same

time though those group. of people why did they 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 they gave him the pretext because he's been announcing 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 why did they keep it. gave him the. excuse but what of it that's why they were to blame but out of the news in faded. you can watch the whole interview in just under an hour here on our to international or at any time on our website r.t. dot com. still to come the apparent suicide of a co-founder of the white hametz rescue group is being blamed on russia by the british media find out why shortly.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation whole 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. aura made in the shallowness of.

big tech and the political left tonight the age of the gag order is underway and is boris johnson said to win in win big in the general election briggs it would seem has changed everything. welcome back a co-founder of the contras a white home its rescue group in syria has been found dead at near his apartment stumble. has more details on the tragedy this might have been a news story about an alleged suicide a former british army officer who helped start the white house this has been found dead near his home in istanbul according to old news sources he soule off the balcony of his home office and that would have been the end of it if not for one

detail according to the british media russia pushed him well not literally of course but if the u.k. tabloids are to be believed it happened right after the russian foreign ministry tweeted that he was an am i 6. the white house is co-founder james the mystery 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 we can expect money as a head of a dismissing these allegations as complete rubbish any time soon but the white house says are quite controversial haleigh disfigure less rescue workers by the western media the white house have been accused of associating with al qaida and other terrorist groups inside syria photographs and videos show members of this civil defense organization posing with jihad is 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 helmet of a t was how many criticized by russia and now this tweet and his staff all come in handy for and no other wave of news about the hand of the kremlin. 3

u.s. democratic senators have sent a request for documents on donald trump's alleged communication with attorney general william barr. wanted bar to hold a news conference to back the president over a much discussed phone call to his ukrainian counterpart some media site anonymous sources supposedly familiar with the matter alleging misconduct interims call but have provided no solid details as artists 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 him 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 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 is of 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 often 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

yeah it's kind of vaudeville it's pro less it's 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 known reality based dole of this show. and trump gets a lot of air time and the media makes a lot of money. the nigerian film lionheart has been banned from the oscars best international film category for having too much dialogue in english it was the country's 1st submission for an academy award in 5 years english as one of the country's official languages after being a british colony for more than a century. and now it's time to feel interactive and

risk losing everything in this particular room and it's a little comforting if you want to. know depending on me and i feel like come. to qualify for the oscars international category a film must be more than 40 minutes long of non american production and have most dialogue not in english but line hard starker is furious at the decision and says english connects his country's people this move represents the way we speak as my dear ian's this includes english which acts as a bridge between the 500 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 this film and many like it is proudly nigerian this iteration has sparked disputes online with many condemning the decision to disqualify the movie c.j.

obasi a member of the nigerian oscar committee and co-writer of lion heart says nigeria's past was not taken into consideration by the academy. being inclusive is also about being nuanced also about the stand in the 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 when a country like nigeria we one of our lingo. lingua franca is pidgin english pidgin english if you speak pidgin 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.

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 break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today thanks for tuning in we're every maybe. she learned that using. the thunder will lose. the.
