to. international certainly glad. we start with news from bolivia thousands of people are marching in the capital of pas refusing to accept the resignation of former leader. demonstrators have clashed with police who responded with tear gas. rollo's has fled to mexico along with many of his party members he stepped down on monday after weeks of violence triggered by claims his election victory was rigged rollason also said he resigned to end the persecution of his allies describing events as a coup violence and looting and vandalism followed and some of his supporters are now saying that they fear for their lives. they have carried out a coup d'etat against does as of last night we are living like

a dictatorship times they are hunting our leaders they are hunting it's very likely that they will see me and want my head to. the divisions are caused by recess they persecute us as believe me and use those from they discriminate against us because we come from alto in the past they discriminate against those who wear skirts and we want to allow it on tuesday bolivian senator. claire herself in term president of bolivia and was sworn in by her allies artie's quarter comments. a new force has seized bolivia's political reigns her name is janine is and she's just declared herself interim president but if you did as president of the senate i immediately take on the state presidency for singing in the constitution and i swear to undertake all the measures necessary to bring peace to the country imus has long been a critic of her socialist predecessor of omar alice who was forced to resign several

days ago after the army dropped its support she evoked the constitution to justify getting the top job and is called for new elections but i guess herself wasn't actually elected she was just next in line after the president vice president and head of the senate all relinquish their posts even the legislature itself didn't really elect her because morales supporters boycotted that session now the real people who put her in power there are a colorful bunch meet mr camacho he was part of a gang that wasted little time ransacking morales is former home. of the nation but these trespassers weren't just a bunch of thieves they were searching for a more spiritual experience here's camacho and his buddies praying with a bible after breaking into the house one of their supporters praised it as christ's return to the bolivian government the bible is returning to the government

powerless never again will the pouch of mama goodness return today christ is returning to the government powerless to live is for christ but you don't see that 2nd coming but then again come on shows long had a unique take on the lord's work he spent years leading a religious fundamentalist organization called the santa cruz youth union aside from its reputation for p.t. it's also a purveyor of right wing ideology how far to the right well it doesn't get much for . other than this you. get. a sizable number of the oppositions activists may be a bit unhinged but it's the political arm that is far more presentable carlos mesa was president before moralists and lost another election to him in october the think tank inter-american dialogue lists him as an expert on its website it's d.c. based and u.s. government funded but may says connections to washington run far deeper than that

according to wiki leaks he was corresponding with the u.s. embassy in bolivia for years discussing the details of his political strategy no less in a meeting with the charge on october the 27th messa all but acknowledged that ever would win his constitution in january and that there was little point in taking the quick zadok of trying to defeat it of course that makes the white house pretty happy the resignation yesterday of bolivian president evo morales is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela or nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail but the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly unstable especially now that the military isn't being 100 percent cooperative right now. as then you have refused to coordinate with the national police or you are saying the military is being overtaken by criminal

records which are destroying the capital as a bolivian do your job we do not want more you will be responsible for everything that happens if after my order which i make as president i stand it for the crimes done and it will be your responsibility on his may have gotten to the top sticking to the letter of the law but it's going to take a lot more than that if she wants to patch up latin america's latest political vacuum senator. has absolutely no right. to clear her so president this is another oh so. just like why oh so we are seeing a replaying what occurred in that as well of course to the delight of trump in washington into one of their stooges in power no question this is a coup because. if we want out of this war and 47 percent openly elects well or $600000.00 or 10 percent more they made but of course

another term for it will be to the detriment of the chance of actually companies. the proponents of meal the bill and so they staged its last the military coup. there keep these troops in the hands into power so that they. resume control. the annual summit of the world's 5 major emerging economies is now taking place in brazil the leaders of russia india china and south africa and brazil are added the event the brics group represents more than $3000000000.00 people worldwide and seeks to develop economic and political cooperation.

the summit has also been marked by protests and supporters of venezuelan opposition leader earlier stormed their country's embassy in brasilia artie's where if national reports. i imagine as well embassy here in the city of brazil here in dayton i can tell you that the situation here on the ground is quite boring just a while ago there was a fight between the supporters off and as well as legitimate president nicolas maduro and those who own the site of the country's self-proclaimed leader one and before that some of these supposed to us managed to storm the building and get inside and right now we are receiving contradictory reports on who is in fact in charge of the embassy right now and the most interesting and important thing is

that the local police although there are many officers here on the ground looting military police special forces but basically they have no alternative theory because officially resume recognizes mr quite door as been as well as legitimate leader and therefore supports he supporters here and this is by the way the biggest challenges for brics countries and a big division for us for them as their positions on what's going on in caracas differ so much. brazil has just issued a note recognizing one why do as venezuelan president. have you thought it was a mistake why does came to a square racey's eyes to heaven and appealing to goad declared himself the president ok but god didn't tell us his response to that appeal therefore i think we need to come back to us and be guided by democratic procedures and rules trying to firmly oppose the principle of noninterference in the eternal affairs of other

countries and maintains that the affairs of venezuela must be chosen and decided by its people the brazilian president mr bell sonora police said on his facebook page that he does not support the storm of the embassy here and he hopes that the situation on the ground will get back to normal so we make spec that these will be hailed soon but this news has been israel is not the only one believe their resignation of the elected president there is seen by some. breeks member states has officially gets the most democratic given process while others including russia say this is simply quit a ton so these both topics hot topics are expected to be discussed by others on brinks later today we'll keep you updated but all in all i have to say that made me that despite all those disagreements between brazil russia china and south africa all in all the influence of this international group is for the growth and it is

becoming even more at a time when we notice the decline of so many ah there are international groups of such kind take for example apec its recent summit was cancelled last minute due to situation in chile understandably but we did not hear any information about new day old location set up no one is talking about that right now. as the on leader is instead of go into the meetings prefer to send their foreign minister is an even g 7 last time was not able to agree on anything and issue at joint communiqué so in this situation some say they drinks is rising and growing and probably winning quest for a bigger role in global decision making and we expect many interesting meetings and comments later on when state. the leaders of turkey and of the us have given a joint news conference after their meeting at the white house

a key focus was on the recent turkish operation against u.s. backed kurdish forces in northern syria which went ahead despite warnings from washington. we've had a great relationship with the kurds and we fought with them burst successfully against isis we fought together we had we had great generals and we have great equipment and it certainly helped a lot but we were very very successful is those we have to make a distinction between 2 things. i have no problem with the codes we have a problem with kodesh terrorist organizations. both the united states and turkey have major sticking points when it comes to the kurds syria military hardware and the arms trade as well as relations with russia now the united states has long maintained that it is able to have a relationship with both the kurds and with turkey however that balancing act hasn't always worked out so well you can look back on the letter that was sent by

u.s. president donald trump to era one that said quote don't be a tough guy don't be a fool when urging him not to attack kurdish positions within syria now at this point to the meeting today that letter was returned to trump from the turkish president perhaps meaning that he paid no attention to that letter now another point of pretty solid disagreement has been turkey's decision to purchase s. $400.00 missile system the s $400.00 missile system from russia and trump has maintained that this is simply unacceptable it is not acceptable for a nato member country to get closer to russia and when trump spoke he basically said that this issue has not been resolved and that it's kind of a a a hold blocker it's kind of blocking other issues from being resolved as well this is donald trump. turkey's acquisition of sophisticated russian military equipment

such as the s 400 creates some very serious challenges for us and we are talking about it constantly we talked about it today we're talking about it in the future hopefully will be able to resolve that situation now turkey seems to be trying to essentially have it both ways they are a member of nato a nato ally of the united states but they have relations with russia and after the meeting in washington era one is expected to have a phone call with russian president vladimir putin something you can bet the united states is not particularly thrilled about now donald trump today reiterated that he felt there was never really any doubt about the friendship between the usa and turkey this is trump. situation the president and i have been we've been very good friends we've been friends for a long time almost from day one. now it's important to note that as this crucial meeting between trump and the turkish president was taking place that impeachment hearings against donald trump were taking place these republican

earrings related to the issue of impeaching donald trump and removing him from office a pension potentially having an impeachment trial and such that of course caused a massive stir in the media now those are there were several questions at the press conference directed to tromp that were not related to his relationship with turkey and the meeting with the turkish lira but rather the ongoing impeachment situation in the united states now only time will tell whether or not turkey and the united states will resolve their longstanding differences regarding many different issues . but for more on this we can now bring in eric sperling executive director of just a foreign policy here thanks for being with us here on r t international. with you so during that briefing. interesting to say the least hailed of the strategic partnership with turkey given everything that has happened how healthy is that partnership right now and i think it's pretty clear that the partnership is not in

a great place despite the press conference today the trump administration in. trump is trying its best to keep the appearance of a smooth relationship but there's many tense points obviously as you noted in your broadcast with the support for the kurds and that tension the purchase of the russian missile systems and are the ones ongoing desire to maintain ties with with something that washington generally is not going to if you are very favorably. congress's view that particularly negatively even if trump is trying to maintain maintain this friendship with there was. so trouble also said that both he and air on have a great relationship with the kurds. that's interesting given all that's happened as well do you think that that's actually true. it was quite a turnaround for trump after talking about the way that citing that the kurds were not supporters of the us over over the last century inciting different battles so

that was an interesting turn around and i think suggest that trump as a foe and has been impacted by the pushback from congress and from the political establishment in washington that is very serious about supporting the kurds. is also interesting to see are the ones remarks i think folks generally do not take that to be very credible he's clearly not a fan of kurds but i think. you know i think that as long as trump doesn't doesn't allows this air to want to secure that that security that perimeter on the along the border and doesn't support any kurdish move towards independence i think it's possible they could they could they could find some agreement there i want to get a quick take appears on kind of an awkward more money if you will and i don't want said that he personally returned a letter that trump sent him last month urging him not to attack the kurds in northern syria. did not respond to that comment so why do you think i don't want

chose to mention that letter specifically i mean that couldn't have been an accident and given how much of an awkward subject that must be between the 2 of them. yeah i think this is something that is very particular to trump he doesn't understand normal diplomatic protocol and appropriate behavior for head of state so you have to write that letter and to publicize it i think was was clearly humiliating for to one and he had to do had to do something to kind of save his pride there but i don't think you know he's not going to respond i don't think with any major retaliation for this letter but he had to at least a stand up for himself in the face of trump who who really sees world leaders and treats them in a very casual informal way that most world leaders are not are not accustomed to all right very interesting to hear your thoughts we'll hope to come back to you for more. commentary in discussion about this as we see the turkey and the u.s.

relations play out eric sperling executive director of justice policy thanks. 3 people have been stabbed on stage at a festival in saudi arabia that's where much more after a short break this are 2 international. i suggest is a call to reverse hunger games then reverse under our randomly pick $10.00 to $15.00 billionaires every year and strip them of everything that 0 and course there and make it into the world of commerce and see if they can build it up to scratch again introduce risk back into the american capital system because once you have a certain amount of money there's no more risk you're just clipping coupons for vanity and you have no stake in the game whatsoever. because. it's not going to be good you see.

what happens to the west. the so-called individual is opposing this. strong. society and the freedom of the individual. this is our international now 3 people have been injured while performing at a festival in saudi arabia they were stabbed by a man who rushed onto the stage the incident was actually filmed by a member of the audience and a bit of a warning you might find the following images disturbing and the 3 victims are in stable condition according to state media the attacker has been identified as

a 33 year old yemeni man who was arrested at the scene of the motive at this point is. in recent years saudi arabia's monarchy has been gradually loosening some of the country's strict religious laws the festival is seen as part of those liberalizing reforms other changes include allowing greater freedom for saudi women and encouraging tourists from abroad with tourist visas recently introduced. despite those reforms a recent video highlighted the stark difference between saudi and western values it was made by the security services and warned citizens to avoid the dangers of so-called extremism including feminism homosexuality and atheism a video has since been polled with the authorities saying it contained mistakes political and social commentator mo ansari gave us his take on the situation in saudi arabia. i think saudi arabia are going to have to be very realistic and more

realistic about this so-called liberalization agenda if you going to be softening the borders letting people in apparently foreigners can now get a visa within 7 minutes you need to know who you're letting into the country and how they'll be acting how they'll be behaving i'm not sure they quite ready and it looks like they're trying to run before they can walk if your heart is a center of consciousness as islam states it is then you have to start within the individual person just having thin veneers of policies where you give the imprimatur of human rights of liberalization of feminism but secretly you have a deep state which is running counter culture and against those things and committing massacres and human rights violations overseas as well as domestically they're going to have to marry these things together it has to be genuine it can't just be in name only and i think saudi arabia is seen often as not the archetype or model for muslim enlightenment in the middle east or around the world and they need to look at more progressive models. for glib around the globe to look at some other stories making headlines this hour the italian city of venice has been hit by its

this is us broadcasting around the globe and covering the world of business and finance in the impact on us all and i'm christiane washington has a look at what's on deck today just one day after the news of google's controversial partnership with health care federal regulators have launched an investigation our panel weigh in on what the feds might do and a warning of what this new health tech world mean for all of our futures and speaking of the telegram is now firing back at that and has asked the court to dismiss claims that was back in news graham well dig into why telegrams had to know ok plus a professor of economics and author richard wolfe is here to talk about the latest stall in the u.s. china trade talks and the problem with the u.s. fiscal policy overseas we've got a lot to get to today so let's get right to it. to get in here with google because

just one day after we told you that google has partnered with the health care the 2nd largest health care provider in the nation to gather and process data on tunes of millions of americans a u.s. federal regulator has initiated an investigation into this deal so we have now learned that the office for civil rights in the department of health and human services is going to look into the data collection and whether or not it violates hipaa laws these are federal laws that protect the identity of medical patients and their information again keep in mind essential health care operates 2600 hospitals and hundreds of doctors offices which means that about 150 google engineers now have access to very specific health information. on about 50000000 americans across 21 states prior to this agreement with google which launched in july of 2018 ascension had its digital records spread across 40 data centers but let's be very clear about this google is not taking over the digitization of medical records

google is uploading these tens of millions of individuals records to its cloud computing service and then it's using that information to build advanced artificial intelligence which will be used to prescribe treatment to doctors and for patients and remember this that over the past year no doctors or patients were told that their information was being handed over to google we have a lot to get to today so joining us here in the studio is the host of the news with rick sanchez rick sanchez guy they have you here by the way he's also the founder of a managing care company in south florida that was recently listed as the fastest growing health care company in america by magazine and from new york global regulatory attorney myles edwards and miles i want to actually begin with you here because the regulatory agency looking into this deal is considering whether or not hipaa laws have been broken now we know this that the feds have required that medical records be digitized but that is not what's happening here in fact all the records that google is obtaining are already digitize so one you have the issue of the records

being put into the cloud which already.
