the west needs to take responsibility for its actions they need to understand that it's domination of world affairs has been melting away it's said that he 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 of course. because for more than $500.00. more than 5 centuries they don't mean that the political economic and cultural civilizational life on this planet. as this objective. breaks 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 behavior of course the resignation of i know the former president evo morales and he talked about the fact that the intervention there wasn't at 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 we have not been accused of the coup in bolivia and this is strange so something discrepancy in the minds of those who normally a great job political agenda i believe that it is very unfortunate what we see in iraq 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 questioning 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'll resolve the problems on tour. but the main thoughts of a lover of 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. 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 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. mass protests and bolivia 1st began over the recent presidential election and claims of vote rigging but since brawl says because again at the weekend libya has been rocked by more on rust there are scenes of looting in the capital and some locals have been forced to build barricades and stand guard over their homes. and someone speaking and honest as we're watching our homes because there's a lot of vandalism that is happening in our area this is last night he began to loot the story to surround us criminals 32 surrounding area we had to come out to defend it. is they it is on 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 while others are hailing his ousting as a victory for democracy despite the power vacuum that's left behind libyan armed

forces say they will take joint action with police to control the protests for now see you guessed on that has more details. 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 legitimate 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 oblivious to hurricane of democracy be here today i feel a little breeze in venezuela 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 leave we suggest to the president of the state to resign his presidential monday 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 egypt. that it did.

in fact that was the key reason for morale is to throw in the towel he wanted the violence to cease there's he doesn't 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 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 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. country's

economy has been growing faster than at any period over the past 3 and a half decades morale is 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 early for a daily reform and 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 memory and i believe they're good people will realize that they have been manipulated they have something to compare the 1314 years bolivia has experienced the highest level of prosperity in its history there has been stability economic growth the elimination of illiteracy reduction extreme poverty it is almost

a question of who won the election isn't worth it and everyone knows that even more or less were 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 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 for 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. bolivia'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 up opportunities for multinational mining companies. libya 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 out of the country it may contain up to half the world's lithium significant as experts predict 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 electric cars batteries for various portable electronic devices and even military hardware chuck kaufman from the alliance for global justice thinks bolivia has been hit by the resource curse. there's no question that washington is behind. the coup in bolivia it's. behind regime

change efforts and. every country. particularly that has resources in june of this year president. it was going to. industrialize saying they're there lithium so now it's just export of raw materials but his plan was for bolivia to begin producing batteries refining the lithium producing batteries themselves which cuts for. transnational corporations for a profit stream. causes health ministry says 5 people have been killed amid an escalation of violence between israel and palestinian militants the toll includes a leading commander of islamic jihad who was killed on monday night during an israeli air raid on the gaza strip such targeted assassinations have been really

conducted by tel of even recent years. shortly after the israeli assault the palestinian militant group responded launching a solve all rockets across the border hitting tel aviv and surrounding cities the border between israel and gaza has been closed to us television says it's continuing to target islamic locations are mils middle east correspondent paul sawyer has more details. put this way the army has confirmed that its most wanted man in gaza and in fact the 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 that 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 of 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 essential 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 in the past year this terrorist was the main generates terrorism for. strip initiated planned and carried out many attacks he fired hundreds of rockets at communities in the gaza periphery are suffering we haven't ignored he was in the midst of prancing additional attacks these very days he was taking to clarify israel is not interested in escalation but we will do everything necessary to defend us and i'm not saying it in advance it could take time it takes calm and cool headed next we must allow the army to do its work now the islamic jihad has evolved to take advantage on his desk they've issued a statement with us and this is despite israel's warning from us not to get involved a situation there is extremely tense now all of this comes as a separate attack on the damascus home of

a another islamic jihad political leader took place also in the early hours of this morning 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 so it indicates a resumption in the israeli policy of targeted assassinations still to come in finland a politician has fabricated hate crime details after the break. without the ever present and constant dread. 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. join me every thursday on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you.

welcome back in finland a politician who also works as a taxi driver has been forced to apologize after admitting he made up a race attack hussein who belongs to the social democratic party had claimed he'd kick a passenger out of his taxi after being racially abused. i apologize for my actions and for lying is the decision making it is my duty to be only just i depend on my voters trust and i have now broken that trust i will do everything i can to restore trust in my actions the somali born driver had claimed an abusive passenger had behaved in a racist manner by asking him about his reasons for being in finland and then telling him to go back to his native country but the store. collapsed under scrutiny when the taxi company he worked for found his story didn't match the g.p.s. data of the vehicle. domain name was to highlight

a question of racism the incident in finland is not the only recent high profile case of fake race hate us actor just a small told police he was attacked by white men shouting racial and homophobic slurs that later turned out the incident had been staged social science professor adrian believes the issue of race has been politicized due to rising immigration in europe their main idea was to highlight a question of racism in finnish society now i doubt doesn't excuse their disability and the kind of learning or mainly i. do see important here to broaden the question was what is going on how actually if we need to start it in relation to the question of race just being highlighted completely since today we have migration into europe it didn't seem nice there bros is all. this shiny. euro

a start of one race i would say that race is sticky concept john this down politics today in different nations in europe. 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 a quick warning you may find the following images upsetting the incident occurred during a yellow bus demonstration the teenager's jaw was intact broken he claims he was just passing by the rally without intending to join it. however a straw spread prosecutor has now dropped the case saying the probe could not identify the shooter it had been brought by the mother of the teenager we spoke to her about what happened and she claims officials have ignored his plight. the solution would use a machine which visit the i was told your son is badly injured operation last night and i was up to that yet to stay at home for 3 months with as you can imagine how

hard it is for a teenager not to go out anywhere 3 months nobody asked 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. he all of us demonstrators have been venting their anger against emanuel mccracken's policies for almost a year now the movement began against rising fuel prices but then broadened making a number of socio economic and political demands the protests are the most violent and recent french history with some of those involved having sustained severe injuries.

if you. take. this up. to school that we see is police violence violation of the professional code of conduct hold when order is meant to be maintained some policemen used illegal methods they pooled women's hair and tear gassed people with disabilities but the cases didn't progress further all they want is use all the policemen but some of them may get orders from above and that should also be investigated. california has decided to spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a new high speed rail link the trains will run at almost 300 kilometers an hour but

critics have pointed out some major flaws. if you're driving from los angeles to that by the time you get there you're pretty much halfway to vegas. so why would you stop and leave your car somewhere and take a train and then have to get to where you just mission is when you can just drive your car.

it's an ambiguous money waster at a time when we have many demands and public resources. california has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars they owed the federal government 3 and a half $1000000000.00 we want that money back now whole project is a green design 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. $8500000000.00 in federal funding that was allocated to this project back to president donald trump.

that is break down for this hour and that's all for me as well but we're not you know harvey will be taking over in about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in wherever you may be. say to my hardest you are dashboards to care but if. dollars. are the design you make to be. better laden or we keep.

the same country because he must tell if a salesman like us tell us your face or body has suddenly become one thing my mother 100 neighbors who. saw. him on the hook including the whole thing as you bozo the clown has been in multiple places in this is you guys just have them. all just so he dumped the last young man who's young they have. deiced so much smoke the soup he chews still so not to sing on. such and such. and.

the world is driven by dreamers shaped by those. the day. we dare to ask. our skies are this is the cause report yeah we could go on presidents come and go

countries come and go all those solar systems are discovered. going. i'm going to call this episode give us this day our daily billions of course that's the wall streeters the big crybabies we call them crybabies all the time and they cry all the time for free money and i realize that's why we have 2 economies going on the real economy where the 99 percent live and then the one percent economy where these bankers live and the corporate elite live and there's never enough free money they want more more more and more and you can see that in the jobs numbers that came out this past week week and a half and what you saw is that it's boom times that eric continues to be boom times and you can see with the consumer spending that consumers are spending life is going on and yet when you come to wall street you see the nonstop interventions required increasing escalating interventions into the repo market that's the

overnight cash market you see quantitative easing more q.e. needed you see interest rates that were cut again this week for that top one percent so we have a tale here of 2 economy without the president constant drip. free money. we would have a day of reckoning and prices would revert back to reflect supply and demand and it 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 u.s. in the form of announcing as a surprise $20000.00 tons of gold and the introduction of a gold back cryptocurrency this will kill the u.s. dollar better than a doornail and it will be a harbor type event and it's coming in the next 6 to 9 months but the domestic situation here and of course we're in new york city so that means everybody knows

we wash the cable news you see it culturally and politically the top one percent who are represented on the cable news are having a breakdown about the political situation that it's all doom and gloom and yet on the rest of the world if the rest of the country if you drive across the country you'll see nobody's hysterical like them nobody's constantly triggered like them so again we come back to the economy in the tail of the 2 economies this is there's been a discrepancy between the stock and the bond markets for the past year and a half 2 years that we've been noting that bond markets are pricing in and looking like there's total disaster on the horizon stock markets are at all time highs so which is that right u.s. treasury says it is gearing up to issue a 50 year bond the federal deficit as you know is up 26 percent last year it's at 984000000000 again that was to feed the one percent because remember they got a trillion dollars.
