it was. it was. it was. the only. work of a week of violent clashes in bolivia supporters of the ousted president either the rallies demand his return from exile in mexico or. to be delivered to me from an marks its 1st anniversary with rallies across france to look at the group's impact on french politics. and the stories that shaped the week a co-founder of the controversial white helmets rescue group in syria is found dead in istanbul since then his wicked pedia biography has been edited dozens of times seemingly to remove anything detrimental.

to. a warm welcome you watching the weekly here on r.t. international bringing you all the latest world news along with a roundup of the stories that shape the week but 1st bolivia has seen a week of deadly unrest since the resignation of president even murali as the ousted leader is now in mexico where he's claimed asylum to supporters are calling for his return and refusing to recognize the new interim leadership brazil clashes have been raging in several cities that the death toll has now reached $23.00 since the october election.

our. critical of the class here we must recover democracy with a lot of patience and peaceful fights ago we must pacify build it and then if i'm useful in anything but can bring with peace to believe that we will do it it was quite nice out bullets after all this was ousted senator janine anos proclaim to self interim president of bolivia many experts say the move is a legal and goes against the constitution as she wasn't in line to be the next leader crucially though most of the army supported and yes and are now under her control artie's don't quarter takes up the story. 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 i mean as has long been a critic of her socialist predecessor of all more 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. 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 farther than this when you. get. a sizeable 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 morales 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 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. because 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 would 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 and 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 what we've seen in bolivia with hi nina on years declare herself president and march into the. presidential palace holding a gigantic bible is. actually more flamboyant than what we've seen anything we've seen from one why go to present himself as sort of a bookish and dapper yuppie but we've also seen her seize power in

violation of the constitution of bolivia a complete violation and today vote was rammed through in which is declared herself president but the majority of the senators who would have rejected her from this is mosque party were not able to take part in the vote because their lives were threatened they basically had guns to their head their families were threatened if they showed up they could have been arrested or killed and so essentially you have a right wing a dictatorship a military regime in power now in bolivia with no constitutional authority livia's political turmoil has also given rise to questions over the country's not true results is some are predicting that iran as his departure could now open a door for multinational mining companies bolivia is estimated to have some 9000000 tons of lithium is the 2nd largest in the world is significant as the expense

predicts that global demand for the chemical will triple within a decade the increase is being driven by the rapid expansion of markets that use lithium is a key component for electric cars for example batteries of various portable electronic devices and military hardware chuck ousmane from the alliance for global justice things bolivia has been hit by the results. there is no question washington is behind. the. regime change efforts in. every country. particularly that has resources in june of this year. it was going to. industrialize there. 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. this weekend marks one year since the start of the yellow vests movements processes in paris have been celebrating for a 2nd day place at the time 31 people there were rallies nationwide on saturday most remained peaceful but not in the french capital. thank.

you. well we're here in central paris and it feels like there's about a few 100 of yellow vest protesters here and they're being very very loud right now as you can clearly hear and they do have a very good reason for that they're marking their officially they're marking their 1st birthday the 1st birthday of their movement that started here in france and inspired thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people all over the world now today that has been largely peaceful and well more celebratory rather than riot see if i may say so also we've seen the police in full riot gear in shopping mall in paris shopping malls because protesters they had promised to occupy one

of the trade centers of the for in the french capital and that which they call the a temple of consumerism some of their chance have been very anti capitalistic so this is the this is one of the banners and the which they've been rallying for the past yes we have to look to some of the protesters to get their opinion as to how they think their movement has shaped and developed in the course of this past year . i called on the yellow vests to come to republic square to join the march and specially to have the right. to be on sean's and he's a if they want to this is the movement's birthday and a birth to should be celebrated in a good mood even if it's a sad birth see because one year after the movement started the fact that we're still here is a victory but a spin here means we didn't get to political and so from our crown from dublin it's just as usual they used to get us against us for no reason to shoot us for no reason nothing's changed it's always the city on the view that you'd be ready to

reap the fruits of our labor which we've been cultivating for a year if the government doesn't get it and here you have it people will speak out as a result of the protests the french government and president withdrawn they had to make certain concessions to comply with least with some of the demands of the rioters and of the protesters for instance they froze the whole to the hike in fuel taxes for about a year but people here are clearly saying that that is not nearly enough to come to and that is them down to make them happy this saturday the protests were much more violent for instance the rioters occupied the italian square. in southern paris and we've seen a lot of tear gas people like journalists some journalists were injured and some people were passing out because of the sheer amount of the tear gas in the streets

so far here it has been again today more peaceful but well it's just has been very very vocal. the british co-founder of the controversial white house rescue group in syria was found dead on monday in istanbul parents of a fallen from a balcony as it james the mysterious death of his life and work came under scrutiny with the pedia profile also saw something of a rewrite missing anything detrimental that was syria was a former british army soldier he was recently accused by russia of being a former m i 6 agent you case foreign intelligence service and the british media has been quick to point the finger at the kremlin over his death here's our senior correspondent my guest here. a tragic death for a man who made a living on tragedy james limits syria spent his life doing what he believed in which was remarkably similar to that what the british foreign office and nato

believe it almost point for point so naturally before anyone even knows how many bones were broken in his body after he fell from his apartment balcony that they dogpile russia it's like an evolved limbic system fight flight or blame russia did russia kill white how much founder james the mysterious co-founder of white helmets found dead days after russia claimed he was a spy did russia drive here a british aid boss to his death limits series crowding achievement was undoubtedly the creation of the white helmets politically charged rescuers who went to battle alongside islamist terrorists even al qaeda is winning in syria called them brothers you know the phrase you want to know how man lived his life look at who his friends were and they were relentless pro-government propagandists bent on censoring everything they don't agree with 133612 edits to

wikipedia have been made in the name of philip cross over 14 years that's over 30 edits per day 7 days a week and i do not use that figuratively wiki pedia edits the times and if you plot them the time card for philip crosses wikipedia activity is astonishing if it is one individual before a day had passed and slim a series death his friends began scrubbing his wiki pedia page the history of his life of all controversy whitewashing his biography philip cross the busy bee that he is really went to town making james as we keep pedia page all nice and pretty you read it now it was a st the times reported the dilemma. syria was the subject of an intense black propaganda campaign for years my promise that activists and russian diplomats the new york times reported that the group and there would be syria were the target of unfounded conspiracy theories when he isn't rewriting history 247 go figure

philip likes to watch television all sorts of channels and then go in low lying or try to discredit anyone he doesn't agree with such as government critics and he war activists and people who don't believe that the world is black and white if you peruse the added history on the wiki pedia page on can livingstone you also find the smartest fingerprints of that mr krause clearly if we could p.d. allows a person who reveals their political agenda see attached to edit pages there is a huge problem this is clearly visible on my entry which has been overwhelmingly edited by cross and which is clearly unbalanced of course a much more probable explanation is that philip cross is a group of individuals paid to further the interests of the british government than malign anyone that criticizes it or its policies they have no problems mirroring

and degrading others yet phillip or phillips ashar i see they're fine with doing it to others but talking about them is a no no back in 2018 someone wrote an article about philip cross and for his troubles the article was deleted and the author was banned for life for this philip cross did because considerable effort to read it in wiki pedia entries for world known british anti establishment journalists bloggers authors and academics philip cross may be a pseudonym for a group of like minded individuals acting in concert there are reasons teachers tell students never to use wikipedia. dia as a source philip cross is one of those reasons the fight says that wiki pedia is not an independence organization it's basically been set up by those who have

very close links to western intelligence services there are attempts to manipulate a sense and make it appear that certain things are true than the notes and other things are not true when they all slip cross who is a very very strange person in the sense that he's constantly changing with paid your articles about controversial figures and he seems to be working around the clock so it's looks to me as if he's working some kind of intelligence a service and in any case he might not even be a real individual so one of the problems we've got with dealing with any information like this is that people are out there manipulating information in real time. coming up on the break as a wrong thing pretty late at fox or vine can feel the price of deadly protests the country will look at what's behind them even tell iran.

you know world a big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream 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 watching closely watching the hawks. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by thinkers. dare's thinks. we dared to ask.

welcome back the president president of iran has moved to quell mass anger over 50 percent hike in fuel prices has already said on sunday the government will compensate people who suffer financially there's been trouble of at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of the wrong supremely to burned riot police responded with tear gas and water cannon they were thora to say one persons died during the arrest but local media say the number of fatal it is nearer 30 the surprise fuel price rise announcement came on friday with the government saying the revenues will fund support for the poor the moves backed by iran supremely telecom when they describe the rioting of father taj and called the protesters hooligans meanwhile washington has voiced its support for the protests

a move that to wrong flounders hypocritical. actually said to the people of iran almost a year and a half ago the united states is with you i don't know. people will not be taken advantage of by outsiders who put it cannot make pressure on nation iran's economy has been in freefall since the us reimposed sanctions off the pulling out of the international nuclear deal last year but our national currency the real has lost 60 percent of its value since then and inflation is thought to 42 percent aside from fuel prices the crisis has put a huge strain on the health care system with shortages of life saving medication political scientists cause they are friends the r.b.a. believes the u.s. sanctions have had a devastating impact on ordinary people. we are hearing increasing reports not just from you know reliable sources but also from the u.n. and other international organizations about the devastating effects of the u.s.

sanctions on orderly and particularly with respect to the import of much needed medicine and you know you also have. the overall economic impact that is contributing to an employment and so on all of which mr pearl conveniently ignores claims to be you know in support of the ring and people are shedding crocodile tears for dental while imposing these harsh and savage economic sanctions on iran that are in violation of the u.n. security council resolution 2231 as well as the international agreement that the u.s. unilaterally walk out of. of german farmer protests paralyzed the country's 2nd largest city on thursday thousands of farmers on tractors drove into hamburg to vent their anger at the government's new agricultural policies chuff it was brought

to a halt on thursday as the city played host to a conference of environmental officials who were discussing among other things imposing restrictions on the use of pesticides many farmers say the new stricter regulations would stifle the sector among the measures that are provoked outcry are a ban on some pesticides and regulations to protect groundwater from nitrates artie's evangelos sepsis was with the farmers convoy it is set out the. it is early and the morning 'd that they should be working on their lands but instead of these german farmers have hopped on their tractors and will be rolling into amber to make a big point. as the country's regional and environmental ministers are meeting here in hamburg the

farmers want to make it clear that the shifting balance between ecology and arkie culture is putting them out of business as the ever tightening and national regulations on the use of chemicals from wheat killers and fertilizers to roots now we've become from the german government is so hard for us that we cannot drag on our farms we cannot have made good crops. have followed a frozen for the for the dairies at the root of their rigorous restrictions is the protection of wildlife and habitat the farmers agree that looking after nature is the core to the job but what infuriates them more is how they were shut out of the conversation of how to go about implementing fundamental changes in their life would offer on this today we are staying here and spend your shoulder chose a minister environment here in germany and we invited him to come here she

is staying in bali and she don't speak to us and we needs a communication that's good support lemus the biggest problem is in the politicians don't talk to us when we want to have a dialogue with them and participate in the decision making process and that's that's what we're here cool with her. government insists that germany's farmers are not abandoned no i expect to hear from farmers yes they do and that is change but i don't do. to those supporters and them financially or it is important is that we together was our european partners directly ment's is an instrument to support small and medium size farm's and this is a very important signal for many foreigners that they have certain insurance against fluctuations but the german government is under pressure itself by the european commission over its sluggish and environmental protection record there is even the prospect of huge fines and legal actions if they do not do more having

tried time and again to quietly highlight their problems germany's farmers are now having to be more tough with ever public protests while they might be outflanked by the increasingly influential green lobby and the e.u. pushing the government for more reforms they're determined not to lead generations of farming families watch in the process evangelists obsess for artsy well thanks for joining us here on r.t. international my colleagues and i look will be with you at the top of the hour with all the latest headlines. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if. there's a tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela
