a palestinian militant group and a strike on his home in the gaza strip. you're watching r t international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. we also bolivian president evo morales 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 coup. 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 miles his resignation bolivia has been rocked by more unrest there were scenes of looting in the capital with buses also set on fire mass

protests began over the disputed recent presidential election with opponents of ras claiming fraud the final result gave him just enough of a lead to avoid a runoff. now supporters of roles have turned out in large numbers both in bolivia and across latin america while others are hailing his ass thing as a victory for democracy despite the power vacuum it has left behind the libyan armed forces said they will take joint action with the police in controlling the protests you just on that has more. you may have heard that bolivia has lately been celebrating a triumph of democracy the resignation yesterday of believe in president ever more rallies 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 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 the. re now it's 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 bolivia. 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 to see not get into orbit but if it did. in fact that was the key reason for morale us to throw in the towel he wanted the violence to cease there's no then 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 47 percent of bolivians voted for morality and while critics of the ballot as 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 morale us 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 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 has been stability economic growth the elimination of illiteracy reduction extreme poverty it's almost a question of who won the election isn't worth it everyone knows that even more allies were the only question is the margin by which he won and the right of calling for violence in the most insulin way there are considerable resources and weapons behind them as if there are clashes in the streets when there are no law enforcement agencies present when the police state party riot is when the military says it will not go against the people were not guard 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 clue. you 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 which we cannot continue to resolve disputes in washington or even worse in the organization of american states meanwhile bolivia's political turmoil has given rise to the questions regarding the future of the country's resources some are predicting that rouses departure could now open opportunities for a multinational mining company. olivia is estimated to have 9000000 tonnes of lithium reserves the 2nd largest in the world now that's significant as experts predict that global demand for the chemical element will triple by 2027 now that increase is being driven by the rapid expansion of certain markets that use lithium today it's used in the electric cars and batteries for various portable electronic

devices and military hardware chuck kaufman from the alliance for global justice thinks that bolivia has been hit by the resource curse. there's no question that washington is behind the coup in bolivia as it's. behind regime change efforts and. every country. particularly that has resources in june of this year. was going to. industrialize their their lithium so 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. israel has killed a leading commander of the palestinian militant group islamic jihad in a series of airstrikes on the besieged gaza strip the group responded by firing rockets into israel our middle east correspondent paula flair reports. the israeli army has confirmed that its most wanted man in gaza and in fact the 3rd most wanted man internationally was assassinated just over midnight in the gaza strip now he is the leader of the islamic jihad militant group. and the strike occurred in the early hours of this morning we understand that an additional person was killed initial reports suggest that it was his wife and their 2 other people has been injured after the strike on a house in the east of gaza now dozens of rockets have been fired into israel primarily southern and central israel in response the israeli army saying that by 9 o'clock this morning some 50 rockets had been fired at the country with its iron

dome intercepting some 20 the 1st rockets were fired to tell everybody around 8 o'clock this morning i was out on the streets and this is rush hour all the traffic came to a quick standstill the buses moved over to the side of the highways and people quickly disembarked and lay on the floor so that they would have a protection between the buses and the steel bars of the highway on the other side so the situation here in israel is extremely tense the reserve units have been called up people have been told to open their bomb shelters and people living in the south and say into the country have been told to stay home and not go to work unless they have jobs now the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that this leader was a commander who was poised to launch imminent attacks against israel take a listen senior islamic jihad commander who was targeted overnight in gaza he was responsible for many terrorist attacks and the firing of rockets at the state of

israel in recent months and had intended to carry out imminent attacks the idea of action was recommended by the i.d.f. chief of staff and also you director and was approved by the prime minister and defense minister now the islamic jihad has vowed to take a vengeance on his death they've issued a statement with us and this is to. warning hamas not to get involved situation there is extremely tense now all of this comes as a separate attack on the damascus home of a another islamic jihad a political leader took place also in the early hours of the small and according to islamic jihad the son of the commander was killed in a blaming the israeli army as of yet there's been no comment no response from the israel defense forces syrian media is reporting the attack they say that 2 people were killed and 6 people were wounded but at this stage they are not saying who was killed and who is responsible for this assassination just to mention that the last time israel carried out targeted assassinations was back in 2014 so this indicates

a resumption in the israeli policy of targeted assassinations. russia's foreign minister is in the french capital this tuesday attending the paris peace forum an event aimed at promoting better global governance and his address to the attendees sergey lavrov spoke extensively about the challenges facing the middle east right now across live to our challenge for more what were the key points made by. very strong speech by the russian foreign minister outlining his a vision of what's happening in the at the moment and talking about some of the issues and what he sees as the way that the west has viewed itself in the past and how 'd he views itself in the presence in terms of its global domination he said that the west needs to take responsibility for its actions he needs he needs to

understand that it's domination of world affairs has been melting away and it said that it needs to accept that the world of the future is a centric world in fact he even went as far as accusing the west of preventing this from taking place he said the west often applies it. now. version of standards to how it sees a global conflicts and programs across the world and he said that they have in the past replaced international law with rules that have been adapted to its own needs commercially and it talked about the fact that the west he said is not the source of undeniable legitimacy. the west is pretty much a player to be blamed for everything. no no. just mistakes. well he also was talking about some of the recent events

over the last few weeks he talked about catalonia he talked about things that were happening in bolivia of course the resignation of now the former president evo morales and he talked about the fact that the intervention there wasn't the pointed finger being pointed at russia russia hasn't been accused of meddling in any of these countries but he suggested that essentially somebody else was. somehow been accused of the. this is strange so something in the minds of those who normally a great job political agenda i believe that it is very unfortunate what we see in the uk it is very unfortunate. stage. but don't forget that. the people still. american invasion.

also talked more about the middle east talking about the situation in syria and also talking about the situation in iraq since the u.s. invasion in 2003 and now he talked about the syrian conflict and the opportunities for reconciliation in the country and he said i actually in fact back in 2013 all the way back then the u.s. and russia had come to an agreement on how they could move forward in regards to the conflict in syria to create some sense of peace but he said the u.s. didn't hold up its end of the particularly when it came to the group. each other's action in syria the only. condition for this force was for the united states to separate. the opposition from terrorists. they

never did and they never managed to have reasons to believe on the basis of real examples for the last 2 years that the united states steel support. in spite of the fed that this organization has been at least within the united states of stairs. we also saw a little bit of humor from the russian foreign minister he was asked during the question in the session how was russia preparing for the 2020 us election love replied with a smirk we will resolve the problem don't worry but the main thoughts all of us at the paris peace conference was the fact that they had to respond to the global demands to global conflicts that countries need to work together and that means that the way forward is upon the centric way forward and not the dominance of the west. bring us the latest from the paris peace forum thank you.

more global news coming your way after this short break. in a world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for washington closely watching the hawks. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something want to.

have to go right. this is what the 3 of them to keep the. interest of all reasonable. welcome back summer parades and wreath laying ceremony as were held in the u.s. on monday as the country marked veterans day this year's commemorations drew protests in new york where demonstrators a voice their anger over america's continuing and involvement in foreign wars it came as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said that the conflict in afghanistan is far from over despite all the promises of pulling troops out of that

effort ongoing it's been ongoing for 18 consecutive years i suspect it'll be ongoing into the future for for several more years that mission is not yet complete . i also made it clear that our commitment would not be open ended and that we would begin to draw down our forces this july why we continuing to train these afghanis who then shoot on soldiers in the back afghanistan is a complete waste of time to come home. recent polls show that a majority of veterans do not believe that the conflicts and either iraq or afghanistan were worth fighting the general public is somewhere 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 us to pull out our ongoing donald trump though has called off negotiations several times we spoke to a number of u.s. army veterans they told us that 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 u.s. 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 tremendously 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 it's going to create a lot of conflict and strike for the american people in our communities in the future. with the u.k. general election just around the corner of the leader of the opposition jeremy corbin has been branded a stalinist attack comes though not from a rival party but from an interfaith charity one that is receiving funds from the home office to combat extremism is alie has more. 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 $97.00 says of building a more friendly society take for example faith matters a charity organization norge to help faith communities working on integration

dealing with hate crime in 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 call. 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 corbin more than 200 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 reason may it's hard not to notice the organization is targeting corbin 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 the ruling 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 have been court funding anti corben 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 where 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 engaging in such political a tux especially just before an election that could decide the u.k.'s future for many decades to come. lou is a motive people particularly who take an interest in international relations who are people since all who were mainly critical wouldn't skeptical about the school didn't pull the season his past involvement and were as he seems to be far enough

somebody to criticize lose we don't hiding behind those who are charity label to saying this is my view what i think but i think if you. present yourself as really being objective then it becomes very dangerous becomes potentially something that can be used again and again corrode public trust and so the issue here is less. point of view than with the any organization that's funded by the taxpayer and says it's a charity should take a poll to political parties and viewpoints and i think that's a great mistake just actually. that's a global news up for now but i'll be back at the top the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in.

with the ever present 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 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 this will kill the u.s. dollar better than adorning. time after time corporations repeat the same as. intra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability explainable amana the more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely

hama's followed this lead to. the big kakadu to focus on the markets and it does not the prison companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is like an elvis that's deep into any man and i mean look. this is the moves you missed me do me man and strengthen them in the best understood look to what is going in. seem wrong when all wrongs just don't all. get to shape out just to get a ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

greetings and salutation from the jubilation over the u.s. military raid that led to the suicide of isis leader abu bakar all baghdadi to the buddhas raining down on president drum during his visit to game 5 of the world series it has been headline after headline for the trumpet ministration all weekend long but one headline that you didn't see in the mainstream corporate news media was this curious little memorandum released last week by u.s. attorney general william barr entitled the implementation of national disruption and early in gauge been programs to counter the threat of mass shootings. in the memorandum barr outlines the new direction the department of justice will be taking

regards to the threat of mass shooters writing i directed the department of justice and the f.b.i. to lead an effort to refine our ability to identify assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike and just how will bar in the d.o.j. accomplish this bit of pre-crime crime fighting you ask with me whether the mint press news observes that according to the memo the most jarring aspect of the memorandum is bars frank admission that many of the early engagement tactics that the new program would utilize were born of the posture we had adopted with respect to terrorist threats. you mean those really fun the mazing tactics like the shredding of due process rights torture and hand interrogation indefinite detention mass surveillance. while as of right now we can only guess just what war on terror style early engagement tactics mr barr has in his

mind for his new effort to stop mass shooters but given the u.s. government's controversial history when it comes to stopping terrorism. i think it's time we start watching the whole. you. want to see you treat the bank like you are real with this would be. as you get to the bottom if you like what they like you know i got hit with that we. would. be a little. bit . well the world watching the hawks i am to roll over and have a while it's an f.b.i. director christopher ray actually told lawmakers in the 1st 3 quarters of the $21000.00 the bureau had logged more than 100 domestic terror related to raw.
