their rights. their rights political rights. are they watching r.t. international thanks for joining us. shocking footage has emerged of a man being set on fire in hong kong after getting into an argument with protesters and i must warn you you may well find these images coming up now disturbing. well it was one of. the scenes that you'd see in a war or disaster zone that would shock even the most hardened viewers today's pictures from hong kong reach new lows the man in this footage hasn't been identified yet authorities have only confirmed he is in a critical condition police say he was attacked after arguing with rioters footage of the disorder is

a regular feature on global news bulletins one could be forgiven for forgetting how and why this all began we must take action to demonstrate to president g. the united states senate stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of hong kong the people of hong kong are perfectly within their rights to be very skeptical very anxious about proposals for extradition to the mainland so yes i do support them and have police speak up for them and. every inch of the way the u.k. signed an internationally binding legal agreement in 1984 that in trying to the one country 2 systems rule in trying to the basic freedoms of the people of hong kong and we stand foursquare behind that agreement foursquare behind the people of hong kong all those months ago the demonstrators objectives and demands seem to be clear as time has passed and lines blurred this has changed this isn't the 1st such case

of targeted violence merely another step in a pattern of escalation a middle aged unarmed man left unconscious on the ground after of swarming attack by demonstrators global times journalist food go out bound and beaten in hong kong airport for his support of authority as junior's home a probe aging lawmaker forming victims of a knife attack which could have ended far worse. amid rising arson looting and violence police are also upping the stakes that day is the 3rd time live rounds have been used by officers is another protester in critical condition an officer plowing his motorbike into a mass of people 2 of them reportedly injured thousands wounded in clashes it's almost a miracle the body count from the violence isn't higher some say the situation was predictable or claimants of voidable the protesters that they simply out of options

the truth could lie somewhere in between but as the protests reach a point of no return compromise seems to be the last priority for any side they are supposed to done mcadams the executive director of the wrong paul institute 2 believes that the hong kong population is rightly outraged by the actions of the protesters. the person who was burned was irritated because they go in they disrupt the train stations the metro stations people get can't get to work people that actually have jobs can't get to work they get irritated with these protesters and they get beat up they get stabbed they get set on fire you know you can't call a couple 100 people burning others and breaking think you can't call it the people it's not a revolution it's a group of violent us back. trying to hit china through what they perceive as its soft underbelly in hong kong can you imagine in washington d.c. or in london if there were

a group of of black clad fogs that were beating people up and burning things down and challenging the police the guy that got shot in the recent gardens you know the idea that this would be tolerated is so absurd if anything that the chinese government which is demonizes so i guess has been weaker than any western government. a significant moment for democracy donald trump has welcomed the resignation of bolivia's president evo morales this is and has to be stepping down on sunday after facing opposition from the military and the police the resignation yesterday of believe in president ever morales is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the legitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail since when all is announced his departure a violent incidents have been reported in and around its capital of us. these

pictures before deletion were all this is house which was vandalized reports say the vice president's home was also ransacked as where the president says several cabinet members. several countries are spoken out against the resignation of moralez denouncing the event as a coup the bolivian opposition claims that the police are currently seeking to detain him but the chief of police denies that there is a warrant out for morale this is arrest russia's also condemned the situation in bolivia saying it looks like a directed q. you can takes us through the latest events in bolivia you may have heard that bolivia has lately been celebrating

a triumph of democracy. to put livia to its people to young people to women to the heroism of peaceful resistance who will never forget this unique day the end of terror and grateful as a bolivian for this historical lesson long live bolivia absolutely delighted grateful to god that this dictatorship is over this tyranny is over at the moment it's totally glorious for us we're very happy long leave democracy well here is what a triumph of democracy has looked like in bolivia president morales resigned the vice president resigned the president of the senate the 3rd person in line for the top job you guessed it resigned. the bolivian army and security forces are the only viable force left after they

renounce their allegiance to the government and took the side of the protesters they we suggest to the president of the state to resign his presidential mandate to allow for peace and stability for the good of our believe yeah. but it's not as black and white as the anti government side might want you to think plenty of people have been supporting evo morales in the streets and it's them who have been getting the short end of the stake here think of the scene and get into. the thick of it. in fact that was the key reason for morale us to throw in the towel he wanted the

violent. to cease this. one when deciding to resign so the opposition doesn't keep pursuing my brothers and the unions we are resigning i'm resigning prefer sleeze that my brothers and sisters leaders of the socialist movements don't continue to be held hostage and threatened because in bolivia morales has no one not a 100 not a 1000 supporters he's got millions this is a tobar of 47 percent of bolivians voted for morality and while critics of the ballot are screaming bloody murder this is specter the election fraud is within a 3 percent margin evil moralities a die hard leftist has been leading bolivia for 14 years under his rule the country's economy has been growing faster than at any period over the past 3 and a half decades morales viewed as the voice of the poor managed to drastically

reduce poverty and economic inequality he significantly increased the minimum wage to and boosted social spending millions had no problem with that and all of them are now represented and protected by nobody now the military is the only element capable of filling the power vacuum and bolivia and well some experts on latin america aren't optimistic about what the army can do for the country it's terrible it's a military coup yesterday the term that was used was asked. ask. when your point that someone's if you're still their wallet they're not giving up or voluntarily. they know that the alternatives.

are as sister's house was burned. there are members of the purge have been around so we saw that tactic used. pro. 28 chain so all of this all of this things that are happening on both of you are familiar to us and none of them can be described as stomach craddick. the situation with believe you came to a head when the organization of american states school for the country's recent election to be a know you to be regularities when i say she is made of states from across the americas and aims to promote peace among this country's its headquarters is based in washington d.c. 60 percent of its funding from the us has not been short of controversy in the past it's a killer lead the haiti elections of 2011 back then the oas was accused of pressuring the local election authorities to overturn the 1st round of the vote without a recount sanctions the widespread condemnation and the war activists gloria let

eva believe that the oas is many a to live u.s. influence. or is it an american states includes or included all the states and the western hemisphere the americas the caribbean latin america including the us and canada it is an instrument of the united states to mean here is domination political economic military in the america we have seen the away as general secretary was armado who is a complete puppet of the united states. pressure then us well over and over he has tried to rally the member states in the early years to vote to censure and perhaps extend out there as well in the future but he has not shied away from now attacking believe you have clean electoral. but actually manipulated things immediately at the end of the pronouncement that is what allows the winner and will

now require a 2nd ran only as an armada immediately set that there was fraud and there without any kind of argentina or any of the recounting of the ballots so it is really a political instrument the country is trying to break away from us in riots and domination. the organization of american states has reacted to recent events stating it project any unconstitutional end to the crisis in bolivia source a call for peace to be restored and for the rule of law to be respected. so in president bashar al assad has denied accusations the government forces have been targeting civilians in an exclusive interview with r.t. is going on the ground present afshin rattansi to stun the us looting of his country's oil so shared his view on the actions of the kurds and turkey in 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 the 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 american with 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 of birth 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 now you're welcoming them back you're worth 1st of all there is this is not only kurds it's mix of kurds and role of and others think and when we talk about that is the of because in that is the ability to prevent. the measured it all 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 pew id is the one who is being supported by the americans publicly they are mormon their money they smuggled oil together. they are american. agents to be with most of them odin 30 all of them i don't know. all of them but their party policy during the last few years is to invite the american kristie 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 herder one would of the s.g. of all 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 their work intended to usher in death. but at the same time though those group of people why did he give him the excuse and the reason to invite syria that doesn't mean invasion is legal is the illegal in every things all the world but to give 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 waited because

it gave him the. excuse but what happened that's why they were to blame but erdogan has invaded. and he wants the whole interview next hour here on r.t. international or any time on a website dot com there's more news coming up after this short break. something seems wrong all along just don't all. get to shape out just being educated and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just a look for common ground. what

politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to be right to be cross it's like the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my colleagues. welcome back a co-founder of the controversial white helmets rescue group in syria has been found dead in his apartment in istanbul in the u.k.

allegations and the british press. the investigation into the death of joseph lammers year hasn't started yet but the british media radio acting in their band all manner they blame those russians for everything another highly likely media scandal has been launched but the white house 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.

white helmet 70 was how many criticized by russia and now as this tweet and his staff all come in handy for any other wave of news about the hand of the kremlin. the trends across the united states are being celebrated today on the annual veterans day holiday but it seems that not everybody is feeling 1st if according to a new survey a majority of military veterans believe america's most recent wars were not worth fighting almost 2 thirds of veterans both said the iraq war had not been worth the effort or than half expressed similar feelings over afghanistan the figures for the general public are around the same nevertheless after almost 20 years in

afghanistan the joint chiefs of staff chairman confirmed at the weekend it's not over yet. that efforts are ongoing it's been ongoing for 18 consecutive years and i suspect it'll be ongoing into the future for several more years that mission is not yet complete only us on the council on right to police dissent in the military isn't what it was. not surprising at all u.s. military veterans from all wars are very very concerned about the propensity of the united states to continue to use warmongering as a instrument of foreign policy and i myself was in afghanistan in december of 2001 as a diplomat's wow well. people are in the military all of us and it starts dawning on them like oh this wasn't all it was cracked up to be it's up to us civilians to say to our government stop these wars of choice stop killing people around the world you know military officials of the higher end rank are always trying to put the

best gloss on everything so that there won't be revolts among the troops as there were definitely and in vietnam we have more military contractors that are getting paid double and triple what our military are they're making lots of money off these wars. we don't have nearly as much dissent within the military as we did during the vietnam war when it was all volunteers. from other top stories from around the world now starting in chile where the countries into the 5th week of best in the status of rejecting a government plan to rewrite the constitution the pinochet era the legal system is widely blamed for the high level of inequality in the country and in the interior minister offer to redraft it and hold a referendum critics though say the proposed changes don't go far enough and will only help the ruling class. of in poland people across the country been celebrating independence day around $50000.00 people joined a march in mosul to follow the christian crosses red flags and national flags many

your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth . is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes are going to wrapped and it's going to chill. so very for a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace the should have. a terrible life between now and the. without the ever present and 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 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 just will kill the u.s. dollar better than a door no. one else seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any gold yet to shape out these days comes to council. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
