the russian foreign minister answers questions at an international peace forum and gives his views on the blame game between world powers. that is pretty much. everything. just sort of. mexico grants asylum to bolivia's former president morales who fled his country after weeks of turmoil while people across america hold rallies in his support. and countries refuse to accept former islamic state fighters being sent home by turkey our guests debate the story. turkey saying you know what that's enough enough is enough i'm not dealing with your garbage i'm sending it right to your

door whether you like it or not i think turkey. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international certainly glad to have you with us. russia's foreign minister is in the french capital attending the paris peace form it is an event aimed at promoting better global governance gave his take on the subject of global responsibilities. the west is pretty much playing to be blamed for everything. no not. just mistakes well 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 of what he sees as the way that the west has viewed itself in the past and

how 'd he views itself in the presence of its global domination he said that the west needs to take responsibility for its actions to understand its domination of world affairs has been melting away it said that it needs to accept that the world at the feet. 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've done in 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 now 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 these countries but he suggested that essentially somebody else was somehow 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 the uk it is very unfortunate. stage. but don't forget that in the rock. 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 was 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 did 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. the former bolivian president evo morales is in mexico after being granted a political asylum he resigned on monday after what he described as a coup gave a speech shortly after landing. again i'd like to say that i stepped down in order to avoid bloodshed and for the confrontation i'm grateful to mexico for saving my

life why do i say this i was my security that people would hand me in in exchange for $50000.00 and that's why i think the mexican president. streeta unrest broke out in bolivia after the presidential election in october over claims vote of vote rigging and resigned the situation has deteriorated even further with scenes of looting and arson in the past some locals have built barricades had to protect their homes. and someone's behavior 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 this story to see around us the 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 and hung with shops cars buses everything was burned in my district looters began to demitted us meanwhile supporters of morality have turned out in large numbers both in bolivia and across

latin america although his opponents are hailing his resignation as a victory for democracy. the resignation yesterday of believin 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 and nicaragua that 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 a bolivian hurricane of democracy to hit today i feel a little breeze in venezuela freedom and justice former ecuadorian president rafael correa who hosts a show here on r t believes the people of bolivia have been tricked. but he did it for a daily 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 and i believe they're good people will realize that they have been manipulated 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 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 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 when the police state part in riots when the military says it will not go against the people were 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. i the power vacuum in bolivia has raised questions over the country's resources and the role of multinational mining companies now bolivia is estimated to have 9000000 tons of lithium the 2nd largest reserves in the world and that is in just one salt lake and other sites are counted if other sites are counted that excuse me the country could contain up to half the world's unmindful lithium analysts are predicting that global demand for the metal is expected to triple by 2027 today it is used in electric cars batteries for various portable electronic devices and military hardware chuck kaufman from the alliance for global justice thinks libya has been hit by the resource curse. there's no question the washington is behind the coup in bolivia.

regime change efforts in. every country and. particularly that has resources in june of this year. it was going to be. industrialized there there lithium. 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 were. transnational corporations for a profit stream. bring the troops home has been a frequent pledge from donald trump but finding out exactly how many troops needed to be brought home is no easy matter. i want to get out i want to bring our troops

back home it's time to bring them home. we're no longer the suckers folks until recently the only way to get accurate data on u.s. troop numbers was from the defense manpower data center which reported directly to the secretary of defense however the d.m. d.c. is no longer releasing figures like it used. we learned on january the 9th 29000 that juta new security going to d.m. d.c. can no longer report currently deployed service members this new guidance places us in jeopardy of not having the information necessary to count those who are deployed overseas or despite promises that troop numbers overseas rose steadily after he took office until september 2017 where the troop numbers abruptly stopped d.m.d.'s the figures for afghanistan iraq syria and several african countries are simply left blank. we will not talk about numbers of troops or our plans for

further military activities we are obliged to learn from overseas reporters from journalists on the scene where the wars are happening how many u.s. troops are there as well as what we've been obliged to learn that same way for years how much bombing is going on by both of those measurements trump increased most of the wars he inherited and then stopped reporting the information and in some cases clearly has continued to escalate or maintain levels of troops and bomb strikes well talking about his opposition to war and being reported on in the us media as a so-called opponent of the wars i think you've seen recent poll sware 16 percent of the u.s. public wants these wars to continue so 84 percent of us need to shut up where we're not as likely to shut up if we're told accurate information and so we have all this

us so called journalism about trump the opponents of the war are strong the bringer of the troops home. the u.s. national suspected of being an islamic state extremist has been deported by turkey and he is now stranded on the border with greece in this video you can see him trying to get back into turkey after the greek border guards refused to let him in this comes after ancora announced it would be sending islamic state fighters back to their countries of origin and earlier president or don't want to use the countries of refusing to take back their citizens we've got reaction to the story from yousif aram political analyst at t r t world international news channel and independent journalist with more of a. it's normal that countries don't accept citizens who are. terrorists in this case and from another country so they set someplace and all you stay in turkey mr adams is trying to blackmail europe into getting more

into getting more migrants or pay him more money i think luke is confusing terrorists and refugees now your pledge the $6000000000.00 euros to turkey in 2016 is part of the migrant deal which it only paid $3000000000.00 of those zeros while turkey spent 40000000000 dollars out of its own pocket now what we're talking about is dying terrorists or isis terrorists these people are not turkish they're european and they deserve to go home and they deserve peace justice in their home countries they didn't commit crimes in turkey they're not turkish citizens they committed crimes in syria they're european citizens so where in this equation is it turkey's job to try these people or hold these people turkey's not a hotel like the turkish interior ministry said and it's not a landfill to hold europe's garbage i think turkey has a cheek to say that they are not to tell because they supported isis the son of

president of turkey what's the trafficker what the people of isis going to export to the oil that they extract it in syria. and all the places to japan the son of the president off turkey should be in jail i think the only way to talk to turkey is to be tough that's the only way with mr at the u.n. and now east not for isis anymore a change disposition but in 201415 turkey supported isis clearly and made the war against isis last longer syria and iraq have capital punishment many of the countries where these isis fighters are held the e.u. the e.u. is. capital punishment by leaving these people stateless and stripping their nationality what is that supposed to do wash their hands of wash the e.u. hands and say ok that's it we have no responsibility and now by remaining silent

all this time turkey saying you know what that's enough enough is enough i'm not dealing with your garbage i'm sending it right here door whether you like it or not and now europe has lost the chance to act they're going to have to live with the terms that turkey is dictating to them and they're going to have to deal they're going to look in the mirror and look at the monster they created with these isis terrorists and they're going to find a way to bring justice to these people. european countries have been told to label imports coming from the israeli settlements that story and much more after the break stay with us.

deal or or specter of socialism 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall socialism is now remarkably popular what explains this how to explain why so many successful even privileged people look to socialism to solve social problems maybe it's because liberalism itself is failing.

general election at less than a month away the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn has been branded a stalinist intact comes though not from a rival party but from an interfaith charity one that is receiving funds from the home office to combat extremism 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 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

corbett 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 cool. 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 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 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 $2000000.00 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 and 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 a body of people particularly who take an interest in his national security policy and or who are overwhelmingly critical when i'm skeptical about the scorpion's policies and his past involvement and where as it seems to me far enough for somebody to criticize those without hiding behind as it were charity label to saying this is my view any organization that's funded by the taxpayer and says it's a charity should take a party political parties and viewpoint and i think that's a great mistake and just actually wrong in law. the european court of

justice has ruled that all even members must label products originating from what it calls israeli settlements the move has been slammed by the israeli foreign ministry israel strongly rejects the recent ruling of the european court of justice which serves as a tool in the political campaign against israel the rulings in time objective is to single out and apply a double standard against israel. well the move has been hailed by human rights groups and oxfam said consumers have a right to know the impact of these purchases have on people's lives the luxembourg based accord claims of the decision will help consumers to make informed choices the areas covered by the ruling include the west bank east jerusalem and the golan heights back in 2015 the e.u. issued special guidelines covering the same topic however only a few countries implemented them jason perlman a communications strategist and a professor come i'll wash from the palestine solidarity campaign share their views

on the case. you have to look at what's behind this and the people behind this are not really looking to. improve the consumer's ability to understand what they're buying they're really looking to target israeli businesses and they're really looking to target israeli businesses in judea and samaria they're trying to put facts on the ground before there is a solution the areas disputed best you know and even if they are politically disputed i would argue that many of these factories and companies are actually based in areas that will become israel if there was such a 2 state solution if that were to ever happen. but you know at the end of the day people have to live today people have to work and feed their families today tomorrow next week waiting around for politicians to come up with a solution is simply going to leave a lot of people having to feed their families on finesse so rather than target israeli companies that do work and you dance mariya rather than target

international companies that invest in important export and do business with them why don't they support those efforts why don't they help people and then we might actually have a much better future for the people of this region the european court of justice has recognized the fact that by not labeling goods from the settlements as coming from an illegal settlements. the european consumer is basically being fooled into thinking that products made in israel of the not correctly label or if they carry the label made in israel when they actually come from illegal settlement now it's down to the various countries the members of the european union to implement that if they have any principles when they call the israeli settlements illegal then they should be immediately. introducing labeling and in forcing it and that's really important let's face it if you are

drinking wine from the israeli settlements then you are saying cheers or whatever the equivalent is in your language to an illegal occupation and to breach of international law i'm nobody should be doing that really. does it for me this i'll be back with more news of the hour stay with us this is our international. the end 2.
