as a surprise $20000.00 tonnes of gold and the introduction of a gold backed crypto currency this will kill the u.s. dollar better than a. mexico granted political asylum to believe he is former president evo morales who resigned from his position and fled his country following weeks of turmoil we speak to a former leader of ecuador who says that bolivia has seen an illegal. alien asked him to resign. and just leave but this is what we call a coup but also to come disturbing images from hong kong where protesters there. being a simple. and veterans day celebrations in new york met with protesters demonstrators force their anger over the trumpet ministrations foreign policy and continued involvement in foreign wars we hear from

a number of former self. or. by the good morning it's 9 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international. believing president evo morales is on his way to mexico offered granted him political asylum he resigned on monday apparently under pressure from the military and what he described as a. sisters and brothers i'm leaving for mexico grateful for the openness of these brothers who offered us asylum to protect our life it hurts to leave the country for political reasons but i will stay in touch i will soon return with more strength and energy so it's more or less his resignation bolivia's been rocked by

more unrest there were scenes of looting in the capital with buses set on fire as protests began over the disputed recent presidential election with opponents morale is claiming fraud the final result gave him just enough of a lead to avoid a runoff however supporters of morale is have turned out in large numbers to both in bolivia and across latin america yes some are hailing his ousting as a victory for democracy despite the power vacuum it has left behind it was done of as more. you may have heard that bolivia has lately been celebrating a triumph of democracy 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 illegitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail. to bolivia its people the young the

women to the heroism of peaceful resistance i will never forget this unique day the end of tyranny grateful as a bolivian for this historical lesson long lived bolivia. i don't know if it was a breeze in south america or if it was oblivion hurricane of democracy be here today i feel a little breeze in venezuela of freedom and justice well here's 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. 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. in fact that was the key reason for morale is to throw in the towel he wanted the violence to cease. when deciding to resign so the opposition doesn't keep pursuing

my brothers and the unions we are resigning i'm resigning prefer sleep so that my brothers and sisters leaders of both origins 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 a tobar of 47 percent of bolivians voted for morale us 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 as believing 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 under konami can equality 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 i don't think the military control is good for bolivia just like i don't think it's good in any country they weren't elected. we need to have an elected leader and that's even more hours and when you see a coup and the president was basically forced to resign. it's the international community needs to go hard stance against and unfortunately that's something the united states hasn't done and it's something the oas says an intergovernmental agency hasn't done well the former i could go in present to tell us that morale is

resignation did amount to a coup and could have resulted in worse violence. the opposition is now enjoying its fleeting triumph i hope that this will not lead to even more violence because even more or less has huge support among the population when everything calms down most bolivians and i believe that they are good people will realize that they have been manipulated they have something to compare for 1314 years bolivia has experienced the highest level of prosperity in its history there has been stability economic growth the elimination of illiteracy the reduction of extreme poverty to almost a 3rd the question of who won the election isn't worth it everyone knows that evo morales won the only question is the margin by which he won and the right are calling for violence and in the most insolent way there are considerable resources and weapons behind them if there are clashes in the streets when there are no law enforcement agencies when the police state part in riots when the military says it will not go against the people we're not god the embassies the palace of government

what is left evo morales to do to avoid bloodshed to avoid more violence furthermore the army commander asked him to resign what could he do to avoid more bloodshed and violence just leave but this is what we call a coup and while bolivia's political turmoil has given rise to questions regarding the future of the country's resources some are predicting that morale is departure could now open opportunities for multinational mining companies that's because bolivia is estimated to have 9000000 tons of lithium reserves the 2nd largest in the world that is significant to you as experts are predicting that global demand for the mineral will triple by 2027 that increase is being driven by the rapid expansion of lithium dependent markets we'll have a look at some of them over here today for example it is used in electric cars batteries for various portable electronic devices and also military hardware kaufman from the alliance for global justice thinks that libya has been hit by the

resource curse. there's no question that washington. as behind the coup in bolivia as. behind regime change efforts in. every country of the particularly that has resources in june of this year present. the. view it was going to. industrialize saying there are there lithium up till now it's just explore to raw materials but his plan was for bolivia to begin producing batteries refining the lithium ion producing batteries themselves which cuts for. transnational corporations for the profit stream. shocking video has an age to the man being set on fire in hong kong after getting

into disputes with beijing protesters it would have warning you might find the following images disturbing. well it was one of. the scenes that you'd see in a wall or disaster zone that would shock even the most hardened viewers 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 the 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 1904 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 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. also upping the stakes 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 authorities claim it's 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. and hong kong has been gripped by unrest and jeanne hit was initially triggered by a bill allowing extraditions to mainland china in september hong kong's leader carried then and bill would be suspended but that didn't stop the demonstrations which have since become increasingly violent we heard from pak no won't he's a senior lecturer in politics university of bath and nikkei and keynes the intense

violence is undermining the message of hong kong's protesters i have seen a lot of media coverage you born koran. they have been biased and they have been also ones either be sympathetic with the boldest is their term us or some morsi focusing on how the police handle the process that is that of all those kind of fallen soon misbehavior from the computer by the protestants because the violence has already damage the legitimacy and the popularity of the movement. the majority of the people who support it nonviolence resistance they have already this why likewise in silence and move far from the sea and what we are only seeing the television and the deal now these are the violent protesters. running around in a kind of. style and it's very difficult for the police to persecute them. parades

and wreath laying ceremony. were held in the u.s. on monday is the country marked veterans day this is commemorations though drew protests in new york where demonstrators voiced their anger over america's continued involvement in foreign wars that came as the chairman of the chief joint chiefs of staff said that the conflict in afghanistan is far from over despite all of the promises of a troop drawdown. their efforts are ongoing it's been ongoing for 18 consecutive years i suspect it'll be ongoing into the future for several more years that mission is not yet complete. but also made it clear that our commitment would not be open member and that we would begin to draw down our forces this july why are we continuing to train these afghanis who then shoot our soldiers in the back afghanistan is a complete waste of time to come home. recent polls do show that the majority of

veterans do not believe that the conflicts in either iraq or afghanistan were worth fighting the general public is similarly unsupportive of washington's involvement in those wars the us has maintained a continuous military presence in the middle east since 2003 it's been in afghanistan since 2001 the peace talks there which would allow the u.s. to pull out or ongoing donald trump though has called off the negotiations several times we spoke to a number of u.s. army veterans they told us that her america's power projection abroad has actually made it less safe. u.s. military veterans from all wars are very very concerned about the propensity of the united states to continue to use warmongering as an instrument of foreign policy and i myself was in afghanistan in december of 2001 as a diplomat i helped reopen the u.s. embassy there and that's 18 years ago and at that time we were telling washington

you only have a small window of opportunity here the us going into afghanistan in 2001. will ultimately suffer a great losses and the afghan people more importantly as we've seen over these last 18 years and particularly in the last 6 or 7 years are suffering for a minute as tremendous casualties and deaths we're told that it was weapons of mass destruction that there were ties to 911 that we're bringing democracy to the people and i felt like we were doing many of those things i think our military industrial complex is profiting from war and i think that we actually made our nation less safe and less secure and we didn't defend our national security we created a lot of enemies internationally where we didn't have is as deep of enemies and a it's going to create a lot of conflict and strife for the american people in our communities in the future your shots even to take

a quick break i'm only 17 minutes. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to be right to be close that's what them before 3 of them or can't be good. interested in the waters it. seems wrong. just don't all. get to shape out just being educated and in the game equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. she's to look for common ground. and. welcome back now with the u.k. general election just around the corner the leader of the opposition jeremy corbin has been branded a stalinist the attack comes though not from a rival party but from an interfaith charity one that is receiving government funds to combat extremism has more on the story. the u.k. government is generous in granting money to various charities and organizations and that's undoubtedly good when those organizations are against islamophobia 97 it is

a building more friendly society take for example faith matters a charity organization norge to help faith communities working on integration dealing with hate crime and countering extremism they've also been recipients of u.k. government funding through the home offices county extremism program but with elections looming and campaigns kicking off faith matters it seems also has another agenda as they've been accused of launching a major attack on the country's main opposition labor party and its leader jeremy corbyn describing the party as being a stalinist cult of korban this country needs an effective opposition for a healthy democracy labor is now regressing into a stalinist cult of corbett. as a left wing muslim i cannot vote for carbons labor the truth of course is that he has backed armed conflict dozens of times he just hasn't backed by u.k. forces faith matters has been accused of tweeting about labor and mr corbyn more

than $200.00 times since it was listed by the home office as a recipient of it support that's 5 times more than about the conservatives boris johnson or to resign may it's hard not to notice that the organization is targeting corba not only for alleged anti semitism but also a ray of issues including sympathy to the syrian president bashar al assad for example faith matters denies the allegations of focusing their attacks on the labor party so they also criticize removing conservatives who have been plagued by repeated accusations of racism and islamophobia faith matters has been and will continue to be critical of the poor way in which anti-semitism has been tackled within the labor party correspondingly we have consistently been critical of the conservative party and their lack of transparency in action around stamping out anti muslim bigotry within parts of their membership base now it's not the 1st time

organizations financed by the u.k. government been court funding in campaigns the integrity initiative a subsidiary of the institute for statecraft which has received more than 2000000 pounds of foreign office money spread defamatory content about jeremy corbyn on their twitter account later the integrity initiative was forced to apologize that was a mistake and we wrote letters of apology to jeremy corbyn we're as apple a tickle as we could be and the foreign office ordered an investigation into the matter if there is any kind of organization for which we are paying which is involved in domestic politics in that way i would totally condemn it. but it seems the questions will continue to rise as to the extent of the u.k. government's funding for groups in gauging such political attacks especially just before an election that could decide the u.k.'s future for many decades to come. there's a body of people particularly who take an interest in his national security policy

and or who are overwhelmingly critical wouldn't suspect the school because policies and his past involvement and worse it seems to be far enough for some of the to criticize those without hiding behind as they were charity lobel just saying this is my view these or why i think what i think if you. present yourself as really being objective then it becomes very dangerous becomes tension something that can be used again and again corrode public trust and so the issue here is less as it were to recordings point of view than whether any organization that's funded by the taxpayer and says it's a charity should take a party political party viewpoint and i think that's a great mistake and just actually wrong in law. the controversial use of riot control guns again made french headlines a strasberg prosecutor has now dropped a complaint made by the mother of a teenager who was hit in the face by

a rubber bullet in january would a warning be upcoming footy she could find disturbing the incident occurred during a yearly best demonstration the teenager's jaw was broken he claims he was just passing by the rally without intending to join it we spoke to his mother about what happened she told us officials have ignored his plight. if she was in would you the musher were to visit i was told your son is badly injured the operation lasted 6 hours after that he had to stay at home for 3 months with his jaw wired can you imagine how hard it is for a teenager not to go out anywhere for 3 months and nobody helped us i dealt with everything on my own i went this is called me and offered their support but not to the government i'm disappointed because of this it's terrible i'm not a part of the universe movement i don't condemn them though they have the right to demand the things they demand but i'm definitely against the violence i was told there was several policemen who were shooting at the same time that's why they

can't identify the one who shot my son but i keep telling myself that all the governments of registered and what about c.c.t.v. they are just shutting their eyes to what happened to my son as if it's not important as if it's just a scratch but it isn't my son could have been killed. or excessive use of force by the french police during the street protests has been a focus of nationwide debate president emanuel has called accusations though of oppression unacceptable the do not talk about progression of police violence these words are unacceptable in a state of law would go into public places destroying windows threatening them pleas for talking with police pulling of protective helmets arriving with boats that's not democracy diverse demonstrators have been venting their anger against the many policies for almost a year the movement began in protest against rising fuel prices but then broadened making a number of social economic and political demands the protests are the most violent

in recent french history with some protesters sustaining severe injuries. well if you look at. the. we see is police violence violation of the professional code of conduct hole when order is meant to be maintained some policemen used illegal methods they pooled women and tear gassed people with disabilities but the cases didn't progress. i don't want to accuse all the policemen but some of the may get orders from above and that should also be investigated gave the orders it is all and it is just coming up to half past 9 in the morning here in moscow and that's how things are

looking so far today we're back again that in 35. never a president cost and director. of the free money. we would have a day of reckoning. and prices one 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 tons of gold and the introduction of a gold backed crypto currency this will kill the u.s. dollar better than adorning. the tense

situation in venezuela is still all over the news. the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faced only implement from the inside venezuela things are different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela so if you. have a son of a moment to think that outputs and. data to see on the moon the people mad the moment the focus of the whose story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america. an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream so wants and making the economy of venezuela screed.

this is broadcasting around the world and covering all aspects of our global economy in the 21st century. and i'm christiane washington here's a look at what's on deck today. following a surge and stocks on trade optimism last week stocks have pulled causing concern to tear the market leadership of the euro pacific trading is standing by to break down stock traders and what this role plays in the charges nettled sector. as technology continues to speed forward should society tap the brakes just long enough to sort out the developments today we talked with you on all stern lessons from copenhagen denmark about the growth of micro chip being human and what the

role of culture which will practice is could play in a cashless society so much on our plate today so little time to start writing. chinese e-commerce giant ali baba set new records on singles day the world's largest 24 hour shopping event bringing in over $31000000000.00 in gross sales this was the 11th edition of the annual singles day event which traditionally exceeds the spending by consumers during any single u.s. shopping holiday such as black friday or cyber monday this year ali baba placed a heavy emphasis on live streaming to help sell goods online personalities and celebrities such as kim cart ashton jet and tell us what made appearances to boost sales and up the hype factor as it faced competition from other domestic rivals like j.d. dot com and paying blood all all offering their own sales singles day is being held up as a bellwether of the chinese consumers willingness to spend in the face of a domestic slowdown amid the ongoing trade war there was some concern that american
