8:02 am
that the west needs to take responsibility for its actions it needs to understand its domination of world affairs has been melting away it said that it needs to accept that the world at the feet change is a centric world in fact he even went as far as accusing the west of preventing this from taking place 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. and this is strange so something. in the minds of those who normally
8:03 am
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 in the rock the people steal. the american american invasion we also saw a little bit of humor from the russian foreign minister he was asked during the question in the session how is russia preparing for the 2020 us election he talked a lot about the u.s. today so i wondered the presidential elections are coming up in 2020 russia getting ready for that. we will resolve the problems on tour. but the main thoughts of. the paris peace conference was the fact that just to respond to the
8:04 am
global demands to global conflicts that countries need to work together and that means that the way forward is a poly centric way forward and not the dominance of the west. they also bolivian president evo morales is on his way to mexico after he was granted political asylum there he resigned on monday apparently under pressure from the military and what he describes as a coup sisters and brothers i'm leaving for mexico grateful for the openness of these brothers who offered 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 mass protests in bolivia 1st began over the recent presidential election i made claims of vote rigging but since rolls his resignation over the weekend bolivia has been rocked by more unrest there were scenes of living in the capital and locals have been forced to build barricades and stand guard over their homes. as the must be honest as we're watching our homes because there's
8:05 am
a lot of vandalism that is happening in our area this is last night he began to loot the story to surround us to criminals 32 surrounding area we had to come out to defend it. is there yet isn't the since yesterday the looting has begun in the streets police and fire stations were torched along with shops cars buses everything was burned in my district looters began to intimidate us. meanwhile supporters of morales have turned out in large numbers both in bolivia and across latin america yet some are hailing his ousting as a victory for democracy despite the power vacuum left behind and bolivian armed forces said they will take joint action with police to control the protests or style of 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
8:06 am
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 renounced their allegiance to the government and took the side of the protesters. we suggest to the president of the state to resign his presidential monday to allow
8:07 am
for peace and stability for the good of our believe yet. 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 stick here. as it. did. in fact that was the key reason for morale us to throw in the towel he wanted the violence to cease there 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
8:08 am
precisely sort of my brothers and sisters leaders and authorities of the socialist movement so you 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 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 and economic inequality he significantly increased the minimum wage to and boosted social spending millions had no problem with that and all of them
8:09 am
are now represented and protected by nobody early for a delicate reform and 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 they have something to compare. just 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 it's almost a question of who won the election isn't worth it everyone knows that even more or less well the only question is the margin by which he won and 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 state part in raw is when the military says it
8:10 am
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 which we cannot continue to resolve disputes in washington or even worse in the organization of american states olivia's political turmoil has given rise to questions regarding the future of the country's resources some are predicting where else his departure could now open opportunities for multi-national mining companies bolivia is estimated to have 9000000 tons of lithium reserves the 2nd largest in the world and that's just one salt lake if other sites are added the country may
8:11 am
contain up to half of the world's lithium that significant as experts predict global demand for the chemical element will triple by 2020 stop and that increase is being driven by the rapid expansion of certain markets that use lithium today it's used in the electric cars batteries from various portable electronic devices and military hardware kaufman from the alliance for global justice things 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 a president. of the bolivia was going to begin. and serialize saying there are there lithium up till now it's just export of raw materials but his plan was for bolivia to begin to
8:12 am
produce and batteries refining the lithium ion produce and 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 gaza strip the group responded by firing rockets into israel. we woke up and sold the news regarding the assassination and we celebrated it is not true we are not weak media might show that we are poor but we are not we're strong and we want to fully support the security of israel the i.d.f. soldiers and bibi know since i'm
8:13 am
a little concerned i'm from the center and i'm not used to all the chaos but it's ok i will go on as usual with the i feel safe everything's under control i trust my god i trust the army everything is ok we don't need to be afraid of scared. our middle east correspondent paul flair has the details of his when the army has confirmed that its most wanted man in gaza and in fact its 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
8:14 am
dome intercepting some 20 the 1st rockets were fired to tell of revolve 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 and 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 on the firing of rockets at the state of
8:15 am
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 so you director and was approved by the prime minister and defense minister now the islamic jihad has vowed to take. avenge on his death they've issued a statement with us and this is despite israel's warning from us not to get involved situation there is extremely tense now all of this comes as a sit put attack on the damascus home of a nother islamic jihad political leader took place also in the early hours of the small and according to islamic jihad the son of the commander was killed and they 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 certainly
8:16 am
indicates a resumption in the israeli policy of targeted assassinations where the election fever slowly taking hold in the u.k. the leader of the opposition has been branded a stalinist by rival party but more surprisingly charity organization story and more after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those. thinks
8:17 am
. we dear to ask. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy the implementation let it be an arms race is squarely dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and tom. welcome back to the program a teenager who was injured in january by a rubber bullet fired by french riot police has suffered a setback in his quest for justice
8:18 am
a quick warning you may find the following images upsetting and the incident occurred during a yellow bus demonstration of the teenager's jaw was broken he claims he was just passing by the rally without ever intending to join it. now a strong spirit prosecutor has dropped the case saying the probe could not identify the shooter had been brought by the mother of the teenager we spoke to her about what happened and she claims officials have ignored his plight. 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 would this is cool and offer 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
8:19 am
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. you know about 7 surgeries have been venting their anger against ammonia across policies for almost a year now the movement began against rising fuel prices but then broaden making a number of socio economic and political demands the protests are the most violent in recent french history with some of those involved having sustained severe injuries. because there's a problem if you look at. this issue. and
8:20 am
you know it's up. to school to 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 pooled women's hands and tear gassed people with disabilities but the cases didn't progress further i don't want to accuse all the policeman but some of the may get orders from above and that should also be investigated gave the orders it is all. within u.k. general election just around the corner of the leader of the opposition jeremy corbin has been branded a stalinist attack comes not from a rival party but from an interfaith charity one that's receiving funds from the home office to combat extremism its ally reports. the u.k. government is generous in granting money to various charities and organizations and that's undoubtedly good when those organizations are against is that
8:21 am
a phobia and i see semitism 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 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 corbin 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 cold. 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.
8:22 am
forces faith matters has been accused of tweeting about labor and mr corbyn 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 is 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 saying they also criticized 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
8:23 am
organizations financed by the u.k. government been court funding and corbin campaigns the integrity initiative a subsidiary of the institute for statecraft which has received more than $2000000.00 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 abol 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 in such political attacks especially just before an election that could decide the u.k.'s future for many decades to come there's
8:24 am
a body of people particularly who take an interest in his national security policies or who are overwhelmingly critical and skeptical of corbin's policies and his past involvements and whereas it seems to be far enough for somebody to criticize those without hiding behind as it were charity lobel just saying this is my view any organization that's funded by the taxpayer and says it's a charity should take a party political partisan view point and i think that's a great mistake and just actually wrong in law. that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports.
