some are there is a browsing again state and the qualities of the mit in the state of rebuilding the cities that's actually destroyed by airstrikes russian air strikes and a lot of intervene in syria should be question mark. there is the consumer is there one ok. well 1st of all the regime as you call it is that government of a state. we share is a full member of the united nations without any restrictions on its on its rights so when people say regime. i live it i live it to your own conscious 2nd never ever we have been designing our foreign policy just to be nice to the united states not that though if you take the middle east russia

is the only country that each talks to everybody beat syria we have a talk to the government to the opposition to the kurds and to the americans by the way i want military as close a mechanism on the dick inflicting if you take leave babytalk to start with dr sun if we talk to her after we talk to. anyone graham and others. the same is true in iraq we talk to the soon issue to the kurds i recently visited iraq and about that and then there are a bill so we always and of course in iraq we also work closely with authority and their own. and may i remind you that until last on the group was formed that the in 2016 the end of the 1015. there was no dialogue between the government and the and the real opposition the only

place use them a position which was groomed by the west at that time immigrants living in the stone bowl in their day in the europe and the united states and they will present that as a part in the foyer. then russia turkey and iran i range for the 4 months where the government and those who fight the government was the arms and in their hands said down and that's how we managed to convene the congress of the syrian national dialogue that's how we managed to create the constitutional committee and that's how the ceasefire on the on the vast parts of the syrian secret or it was established so we. you know actually before before that in those cells and such but we were very close with the united states when they deal how it will resolve the syrian conflict and that the deal which we

wish we struck with john kerry was about and which was agreed by the government that the government forces would not fly at all and that any operations by the. u.s. force and by the russian air force would be agreed between us in other words u.s. and russia had their veto on the each other to each other's action and syria the only. condition for these to enter into force was for the united states to separate . the armed opposition from terrorist from noosa. they never did and they never managed to do this and they have reasons to believe on the basis of real examples of the last years that the united states still support noosa in spite of the fact that this organisation has been leased up in the united states as their wrist and they see in those that are a counterbalance against the government it's another mistake after they were

banking on logic idiots unmodulated dns the organizers 911 after they did what they did in the rock and isis was was born nowaday groom who set out in the expectation and the loser expectation that they would be able to control them it's an illusion speaking go free building the country we have been promoting projects together with the syrian government inviting all of us to create conditions to modernize infrastructure for their it on a fair few jews so that the country could get back to the normal life the united states creates a go regularly denies the need for this and they pressure hibbett to all the allies nato e.u. of the countries in the region to invest in any project on the spirit or take on thrilled by the government but on the other hand on the eastern bank of the french history where they do every sing to build to as i state structures and they ask the

gulf countries to invest capital it so that they can create local administration based on the syrian. forces they cure dish asia and others it was very blunt intention to separate this part of syria and to control the oil fields there so you you'll you'll please i believe b.b.c. is a serious outlet your country of the real facts and don't be don't be guided by slogans . that's not because we have time for one chris pine a question the lady over here. set journalist you just said that the best isis fighters are the former ba'ath party members i just returned from the syrian turkish border where turkey has launched last month as you know we did russia's unofficial or official ok for the operation peace

spring my question is you mentioned the kurds in iraq quite a bit but what about kurds in syria thank you. i'm sorry the operation to sprinkle was not was not indorsed by by russia it was in those by the united states if you if you're accurate was that was the facts they try to negotiate mr reich and then they said ok we cannot reach the deal so kurds you are on your own we are leaving then after they they left the kurds and left syria they said ok we don't have anymore anymore gay chanson front of the kurds but we are coming back for oil not for the kurds. it's it's and then trysting zigzagging you know in foreign policy and back to churchill about the united states always doing it right after they tried everything else. because in syria must have a place in the political dialogue but the cure is in syria must be consistent if

they at the beginning of the conflict decided that that they can go unilaterally was the support of the united states when they declared the creation of this federation or for a job. and they saw that they would be always supported by the united states in this separatist movement. this was their decision we were trying to explain to them and to the government that it is important to start some dialogue between the moscow's authorities and the kurds the cards were not interested they believe that they would be all discovered by the united states when the united states. made this to east they could start that asking us to help to start a dialogue with the government which we were ready to do but then there's the american said we are coming back to the hotel room a control the oil fields they again lost interest in this dialogue so they need

some consistency and i have no doubt that the end of the day the. a solution of the syrian crisis can only be was the. interests taken into account of the codes and all of the ethnic and confessional groups in syria for the kids i represent that in the constitutional duty in geneva but this is not this is not present ation of people age and you know what the turks think about the wages and we believe this issue requires very sort of discussion and solution which would be 3 clip political but which can only be be found resolve the key players sitting at the same table and then thinking in the terms of respecting the charitable integrity of syria and resulting all national ethnic and confessional issues within

the charitable integrity of syria that's what constitutional committee is a vote minister he made his last words we talked a lot about the us today so i wonder it the presidential elections are coming up in 2020 so how is russia getting ready for that. will resolve the problems on tour. i mean is that thank you very much for a very short very good size fantastic for policy part talk thanks so much for being here and all i can say is i think our founder was too it's always better to talk with each other rather than about one another thanks very much. ok we're just listening there to the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov he was attending the paris peace for a forum he took plenty of questions to talking about russian foreign policy generally speaking he started talking very negatively about the impact of western colonialism foreign interventions saying the invasion of iraq libya and syria

enabled the creation essentially vises he said that russia had no regrets supporting is that in fighting isis and also went on to be very critical of u.s. policy there within syria saying that he still has the belief that they support an internationally recognized terrorist organization as a counterbalance to assad's we've got through a lot but in essence that what's that's what he was saying there and he was speaking at the paris peace for. now the news today teenager who was injured in january by a rubber bullet fired by french riot police has suffered a setback in his quest for justice a quick word of warning though you might find the following video upsetting the incident occurred during a yellow vest demonstration the teenager's jaw was broke and he claims he was just passing by the rally without intending to join it however strasberg prosecutor is now dropped the case saying that the probe could not identify the shooter it had been brought by the mother of the teenager we spoke to her about what happened she

claims that the officials have ignored her son's plight. sure wouldn't want to commercial what is it 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 nobody helped us i dealt with everything on my own i went this is called me and offered their support but not 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 policeman who was 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 excessive use of force by the french police during the street protests has been a focus of nationwide debate present a mile marker on 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 but going to public places destroying windows threatening m p's it's working with police pulling of protective helmets arriving with boats that's not democracy. yes demonstrators have been venting their anger against the policies for almost a year the movement began against rising fuel prices but then broadened making a number of social economic and political demands protests are the most violent in recent french history with those involved sustaining severe injuries.

cuts. that. we see is police violence violation of the professional code of conduct hole when order is meant to be maintained some priestman used illegal methods they pulled women and tear gassed people with disabilities but the cases didn't progress. i don't want to choose all the policemen but some of them may get orders from above and that should also be investigated gave the orders. california has decided to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a new high speed rail link the trains that will run at something like 300 kilometers an hour although critics have pointed out some major flaws.

if you're driving from los angeles to fit to bill by the time you get there you're pretty much half ways. to vegas so why would you stop and leave your car somewhere and take a train and then have to walk to where your destination is when you can just drive your car. it's an ambiguous money waster at

a time when we have many demands on public resources. california has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars they owe the federal government 3 and a half $1000000000.00 we want that money back now whole project is a green disaster and. abandoning high speed rail entirely means we will have wasted billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises and with all due respect i have no interest in sending $3500000000.00 in federal funding there was allocated to this project back to present on a drum. let's

go back to our top story this hour because the i used to believe in president things i morale is on his way to mexico after it granted him political asylum he resigned on monday apparently under pressure from the military and what he described as a cook. 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 since his resignation bolivia has been rocked by more unrest there were scenes of looting in the capital with buses set on fire mass protests began over the disputed recent presidential election with opponents of morale is claiming fraud final result gave him just enough of a lead though to avoid a runoff however supporters of moralists have turned out in large numbers to both in bolivia and across latin america yet some are hailing his ousting as

a victory for democracy despite the power vacuum it is left behind bolivian armed forces say they will take joint action with the police in controlling the protests down off 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 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 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. we suggest to the president of the state to resign his presidential mandate to allow for peace and stability for the good of our the livia. 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 us to throw in the towel he wanted the violence to cease this is that and why am i deciding to resign so the opposition does not keep pursuing my brothers and the unions we are resigning i am resigning precisely sort of my brothers and sisters leaders and authorities of the socialist movement don't continue to be held hostage chased 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 morality and while critics of the ballot are screaming bloody murder the suspected election fraud is within

a 3 percent margin evo morales 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 morale as 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 really for a daily sort of a moment that the opposition is now enjoying its fleeting triumph i hope that this will not lead to even more violent because even more or less has huge support among the population when everything calms down most bolivians memory and i believe they're good people will realize that they have been manipulated and they have something to compare to 1314 years bolivia has experienced the highest level of prosperity in its history there has been stability economic growth the elimination

of illiteracy and extreme poverty it is almost as if the question of who won the election isn't worth it everyone knows that even realize we're the only question is the. by which you were in the right are calling for violence in the most insulin way there are considerable resources and weapons behind them so if there are clashes in the streets when there are no law enforcement agencies when the police tape 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 the organization of american states not only allowed this but is also part of this coup the organization of american states has always been a tool in the hands of the us it is time for us latin americans to create something of our own because we cannot continue to resolve disputes in washington or even

worse in the organization of american states meanwhile bolivia's political turmoil has also given rise to questions regarding the future of the country's resources some are predicting that morale is the parcher could now open opportunities for multinational mining companies and that's because bolivia is estimated to have something like 9000000 tons of lithium reserves the 2nd largest in the world for continue as experts to predict that global demand for the chemical element will triple by 2027 that increase is being driven by the rapid expansion of certain markets do you use lithium for example today's it is used by electric cars batteries for various portable electronic devices and also military hardware shop kaufman from the alliance for global justice thinks that bolivia has been hit by the resource curse. there's no question the washington is behind

the coup in bolivia as a. regime change efforts in. every country of the particularly that has resources in june of this year a president. that was going to. industrialize their their lithium up till now it's just export of 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 a profit stream. company. back again with the head.

come. to my hardest to i dash west to cambodia. dhanush. to design human to be washed. out a regular we keep. the same country because the last sound tell a feeling make us tell us if they survive because suddenly one thing my mother 100

neighbors who. sent. them on the hook include the whole thing as opposed to the final thing with the quote this is you guys just had come since. just so you don't know man who's young they have. i see so much smoke the soup. still so not to sing on the. soup and such. a good. time of the time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability. transition sustainable transport sustainability stay number may not be more

equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless . because the models and didn't design the boots on the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is 2nd oldest does he want any minute i need loved ones the sun moves in unison we didn't dream and i'm stunned seen them in the best understood look who is going into.

your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to out and when it's go. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't and they'll still. imagine something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes and i rapped and it's going to help. so very for a while right. my great grandfather's quote. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace those should have. a terrible life between the and the. 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 phased only implemented for inside venezuela things look different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum venezuela associated. bonus will have a supplement to. get out of that political battle so on the people who come out of the moment the focus of the who 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 now making the economy of venezuela screed. with the president and constant drip. 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 adorning. 2

i. russian foreign minister sergey lavrov attends the paris peace forum where he touches on a number of important questions. the west is pretty much playing to be blamed for everything. no go look for a city just sort of sold mistakes. also this hour mexico brands political asylum to bill libya's former president evo morales who resigned from his position and fled his country following weeks of turmoil we speak to a former leader who says bolivia has seen an illegal. prisoners who. come under ask him to resign. to avoid movement should i'm going to just leave this is what we call a clue.
