well i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sport i'm sure i'll see you there. was i. supporters of bolivia's ousted president clashed with police during the funeral of a killed protester we speak exclusively to even morales about what is happening in his country. i was called an employee terror in ruler a dictator but this is not so these are real dictators on the other hand you generations will not understand what a real dictatorship is. the latest star witness at the trump impeachment hearings claims that russia risk planning to meddle in the 2025 u.s. presidential election we assess whether democrats can attract voters with that warning and a new round of just taking them in france is

a local retirement home kicks out a 17 year old that none from the freezing to keep her religion to herself. hello there is just a day here in moscow you're watching r.t. international i believe is self proclaimed interim president has proposed fresh elections joining and he wants to know the results of the last vote which were mired by allegations of fraud that led to the sting of president evo morales and deadly unrest in which almost 30 people have reportedly been killed most recently police clashed with people attending the funeral of a protester. 7. when she took charge on a course controlled the scene by granting police staling with protesters immunity

from prosecution even there are less who was granted asylum by makes you. a back what is happening in his country. i learned in my life that you never choose a position it finds you this applies from the position of trade union had right up to the post of presidency in the there is an official report confirming i won the 1st round this is a very extensive report you can check it and any time you can see the election results but there is an important point to be made there was an agreement that the organization of american states was supposed to publish the official report last wednesday around 2 pm that was the arrangements but unexpectedly on sunday morning they called us and informed us that the preliminary report was ready we requested this report and there was complete confusion one part of it said that i won and that carlos massa came 2nd but this did not prove that i won the election in the 1st round i ordered that i be put in touch with lewis and moderate opposition but i was not connected the report was published on sunday morning i spoke with

a representative of the organization of american states and told him their baby if you do not double check your report it will cause unrest and believe me and there will be victims by publishing its report their organization of american states actually supported the kook who is in charge of everything now people from the us and whore here to talk with all got a follower of their bouncer who for 7 years will believe me as a dictator i was called an employee tarion ruler a dictator but this is not so these are real dictators on the other hand new generations will now understand what a real dictatorship is. i would say that some of the groups in whose hands are going to make power is concentrated in not forgive us for creating social movements especially if the indigenous populations movement which has changed the image of our beautiful country they also cannot forgive us for nationalizing our natural resources and strategic companies which has improved believe his economic system upon the successful creation of

a developed lithium industry mr alberto and i plan to set lithium prices on the world market i realized that some industrialized countries are afraid to compete 1st in the field of technological development and 2nd they do not want other countries to follow the example of our economic model which is based on socialism. this is a class struggle i'm convinced of it i had faith in the armed forces because i thought that in the military there are patriots and imperialists however certain generals on the serve the highest gear they surprised me i could not believe it i had a wonderful relationship with all the military leaders of course there are good soldiers and military leaders but when it comes to the class struggles with some forget about their ideological stance and their patriotism consequently their interests are affected they lost part of their power and cannot forgive us for this has nothing to do with being indigenous or not. well after morale is resigned claim to

self interest in president she is backed by believe his military and she has appointed her own cabinet despite the ongoing protests there against her the organization of american states says that people should support or until the new elections have been saying 3. the work of the orient us the experience and expertise that is gained from other episodes in the americas have helped promoted defend the right of the bolivian people to democracy from a president apparently willing to maintain his power by non democratic means including through electoral fraud we call on all bolivians to support the bolivian transitional government as it guards the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to the new free and fair elections as soon as possible while the acting president jeanine and i might say that she's only holding the fort there until fresh elections have been held but she pays intent on putting the country on a radical new course.

they had to say in fact to make it clear once again this is a provisional government that will 1st call for general elections and the legislature is assembly will have the job of clearing out the election of the members not the current leader and he's let the one.

well r.t. america host rick sanchez discuss the situation in bolivia with the pulitzer prize winning journalist chris hedges he says the u.s. has had a hand in the crisis. this is the revolving or story of latin america that as soon as a populist figure like evo morales appears the knives come out on the part of the empire and on the part of those corporations that hold especially the natural resources in a place like bolivia hostage there's been a constant conflict between. these corporations and evo morales so let me stop you there because you just said something that's very interesting there may be a reason for the united states government the government of chris hedges and rick sanchez for the country where we live to do things from time to time in other places right but it seems like what you just described is something where no one asked chris no one asked rick no one talked to our media no one talked to our

congress it just happens out of thin air we go and destabilize the government doesn't that seem crazy yeah but that's you know decades of practice of the you know the so-called invisible state was the but it's how the cia operates they operate you know completely in the shadows and they operate on the be hast of the business interests i mean united fruit didn't want arbenz around before they got rid of them so on and on and on this goes back decades and decades and decades it of it's about the maintenance of empire and that's what we're seeing in bolivia where i lived in bolivia and in spanish in bolivia this is just a pattern and now they found lithium it believed well it had apparently and that is a huge it is the oil of the future and guess who wanted to control it and guess who they didn't want to control it even more out exactly evo morales said even though he brought poverty down in a country where no one else that i do this in was we want to control the lithium

and the multinational corporations they they set the machine in motion. will believe via is. latin american country in the grip of unrest at the moment later in the program we report on the anti-government protests that are currently taking place in colombia. doubled from some page with inquiry has so far focused mainly on the us president when his former top advisor on russia took to the podium an old narrative became the new focus the impacts of the successful 2016 russian campaign remains evident today our nation is being told to pass through this questions are highly professional expert career foreign service is being undermined right now russia's security services and their proxies have geared up to repeat their interference in the 2020 alexion we are running out of time to stop them want to gas they have takes

a look at how the co-author of a $500.00 page book on blood made putin has become the democrats' star witness at the impeachment hearings. you go to give it to the democrats they've tried everything to get rid of trump take him seriously you look like an idiot ignore him you look like an idiot criticize him and his ratings go up doesn't make any sense the guy seems to metabolize scandals feed off of them sue the democrats fed him poison impeachment. that trump the president has used his office for personal gain the president got caught it's pretty simple question is now who would benefit from an investigation of the funds i assume president trump would but there we have it see thing is for impeachment to work you need momentum and they're losing it a 1000000 less americans chewed in for the 2nd round of impeachment hearings and

trump's ratings have gone up according to gallup i'm telling you it doesn't make any sense soo confused are they that they've reverted to their base behavior animal instinct i found out that vladimir putin doesn't want me to be president so i learned a lot about these early on from the series that was. perhaps related to me a putin also wants you to stop sniffing strangest hair but hey that hasn't stopped you has it joe putin kremlin moscow russia yeah we've heard it all before everyone has so desperate of a that they turning to the spiritual the democrats are making a sacrifice crucifying one of their own to beat trump it's unfortunate that we have someone on a stage who is attempting to be the democratic nominee for president united states that's left. criticizing people on this stage affiliated with the democratic

party let's also talk about judgment on. foreign leaders you mentioned meeting. that i would not have sat down with a murderous dictator like that. that should do it that should beat trump smearing a fellow democrat and alienating her voters they did the same thing to bernie in 2016 remember even rigged a primary against him didn't work so they're doing it again only logical plants are tea apparently favors told see things thank analyzed thousands of pages on dot com built graphs and charts and plots and came to the conclusion that russia would prefer a u.s. president that wouldn't want to launch missiles at moscow you know how the saying goes you can teach an old dog new tricks and add seems to be the problem with the

democrats sticking to old tricks to cliches all i can say is fellows good luck winning that election. in arkansas a newspaper story an article in an arkansas newspaper has lead to more concerns over russian trolling all because of the use of some odd looking punctuation. no diversion quotation marks. i'm pretty sure the publication just put in whatever looked like an error in an attempt to instruct readers to click on the article link which came immediately after the hour if they meant to use it to indicate a russian quotation mark whereas the other quotation. mark e.

only required a keyboard only it took no less than a 2nd which is less than 3 seconds they both. moved is the amount of fried chicken the correspondent gets here keep up the professional work. we use those quotation inflation talent keyboards as well so this is koinange in at least 4 languages. it had jumped out to me if i should speak up and keyboard user as a quotation mark and look like other sloppy attempts by russian choice of bush stories i apologize for the mistake and explaining it in the interest of full transparency. in france the clash between secularism and religion has sparked another rag that after a local retirement home there shut its doors in an elderly catholic nun for not keeping her religion to herself you could have gone off reports from powers. a nun

from eastern france had been wearing her habit for more than 70 if she didn't plan on changing that one she decided to cash in her retirement plan and move into a nursing home that didn't happen because the facility refused to provide her with it services because she in turn refused to take off her religious clothing and that hasn't gone well with the religious community here i do not see how a nuns veil can be described as offensive it is not a symbol of submission but the symbol of consecration but the nursing home says there will be no appeals the case is closed they say all religious apparel is banned at the facility to buy to buy friends is more than a century long reign of secularism a small chain with a cross that was the only bit of faith the nun was allowed to physically take with

the into the home shedding the rest at the gates the nun refused the place we offered her and didn't want to accept the house rules that are the same for everyone within our homes our residents may have preferences and beliefs and they should be respected with regard to secularism all ostentatious religious symbols cannot be allowed in order to guarantee everyone's tranquillity. christianity is a relatively new phenomenon born out of france's strict secularism there's another one you might be moved from illegal with islamophobia the muslim community in france has been fighting for the right to wear their religious clothing in public for a long time. from the carbs to the workers to brooklyn east the muslim swimwear for women france has been through countless scandals around islamic clothing christianity has been steering clear of this controversy

until now i don't take heed that she should not be allowed to go we don't really unduly damon holland but you see. you see this is a bit good we go because they stay about the obviously against the muslims now they get an equal and the 1st be good eating the after play the symbols to everybody and then they overstated the holes because the secular has not imply that uganda we don't really know he daemon the whole market he should be open minded you see things should be. live their lives i mean that's not the public oh isn't this a problem. there is a problem they're looking into parliament but they slow problem we do see you see this is just the most superficial and the most unimportant but there is difference between. the low that clings secure areas of france and the philosophy of secretaries of you can be also

a believer. a secure person that means that you can be a muslim a jew a buddhists a protest songs and orthodox whatever you what's unless you respect the law the only thing that is forbidden is to claim religious. political actions because people are afraid of what can be. terrorist attack very or mixing all the ideas and so on that's respecting total he watched not a still ahead israel's political crisis deepens as prime minister benjamin netanyahu was charged with bribery and fraud for assess the implications of this just awful. what explains the bipartisan commitment to an ending wars in foreign military

interventions recent polls show the majority of veterans who fought in this century's foreign wars say it wasn't worth it in 2016 trying to gain traction for doubting foreign adventures today is doing the same why are the elites sell out of . you know world of big movies. and conspiracies it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

again tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in columbus capital to protest against the right wing government if u.s. backed president even dk what started as a largely peaceful lead to clashes with police. i. colombian trade union students opposition parties and the south american countries and did you notice organizations challenge the case economic social and security policies a festive atmosphere in the plaza turned ugly though when a small group of people began hurling projectiles at police who responded to take gas. popularity dk is right wing government a king u.s.

ally has been on the wane since his election 18 months ago i play say around 200000 people actually took part in protests in several cities from bogota nicholas o'donovan sent this report. what started as a normal union strike has morphed into one of colombia's biggest anti-government protest in recent times tens of thousands of people marching across the country and here on the streets of bogota at this point the rain thousands are still marching against the government towards the city center everything from students to union leaders to community leaders and indigenous people protested as we say against it down to case government this strike was announced before the full the protests in other latin american countries like chile ecuador but people see here telling us that they've been inspired by those movements 5000 police officers here we've also

have members of the military but the government says that we can't say that colombia is militarized because these soldiers are just protected strategic buildings so that's the picture of the ground what about the reasons what spare hind this massive strike it's a very differently to what happens in other latin american countries for instance and in chile we have the public transport in ecuador we had the subsidies to gas here it's not a specific measure it's more of a wide range of actions being taken by the government that people here do not like it all started with a tax reform and an intention to reform the pension system but it's not only the neoliberal austerity measures this so so the handling of the peace process all the . failure in handling the peace process that has led to more violence in the

country recently we had 8 miners being killed in the government led attack and all of this cocktail has produced this state of discontent among colombian so as we say the protest has been massive it's be mainly peaceful but it's sending a very clear message to yvonne to kay's government here in colombia nicolas o'donovan. and i'm sure a professor of latin american studies told us more about the roots of the mass protests in colombia. the columbian says this country of 40000000 compazine or sitting in workers an indigenous who would say they are marching in flying the y. father flag in solidarity with the people of bolivia ecuador chile haiti everywhere that there are things not just to go up against the colombian state. they're up against the u.s. sponsored colombian state the $265000000.00 in u.s.

military aid that was sent this year under trial even more in past years with colombia so we shouldn't forget that there's 9 u.s. military bases over a 1000 u.s. military soldiers stationed in colombia 12 u.s. military bases and panama where they're out there where there's also protests scheduled for later today against the same meal liberal agenda so the colombian people are fighting back not just for their interests but for the interests of humble people across the world. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been indicted on charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust this comes amid an ongoing political crisis with the prospect of a 3rd general election this year looking increasingly likely netanyahu has vowed to appeal though in the indictment a political witch hunt israeli prime minister had hoped to avoid the charges by passing special legislation however that proved to be impossible after his failure

to form a coalition government following september's election this is the 1st time a serving israeli prime minister has been indicted israeli journalist amir t.-bone thinks it will have major political repercussions. he has the ability to ask the knesset the israeli parliament for immunity but it doesn't seem likely there will be a majority. of the knesset to give immunity from prosecution if he fails to receive unity and he's good good corollary 5 stories the innocence. system of course you are. going to. otherwise he's the most do anything but he is the 1st every israeli prime minister to be indicted while he's in office and of politically correct actions that he talked while serving in office and i think in terms of his long term loosely this is something that will be remembered about being in the time we have for many many years because this is a game changer this is

a big deal i think changes the political calculations of all of the players and he was. what i think has been serving israeli prime minister since 2009 and it's not the 1st time he's held the job either he previously held the top position from 1906 to 999 he's also known for his close relationship with donald trump and with the help of the u.s. president he has managed to achieve a number of his gulps. this is a store. of will before our course for general. this president ladies and gentlemen this is. truly those stories. that if. you watch 90 that brings you up to date so far today we're back again at

the top the. this is a story about what happens austria stray bullets kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida another mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in courts be the. shock shock as far as society we

feel. we don't know she'll just stroke on. the end of this trial unfortunately you. will still love no chill just. most people think just stand out in this is this you need to be the. 1st woman on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out of the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answers. question. tough and finding another one of the highest democratic way or both the food.

ballot itself nor the key about. closing this way got to dog so hard not to think i know how to describe the state of the work a plant that i want and i know mr latona that. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. through our you can call the 50 pound is worthless woody allen called believe it at the top of the polls. but i think it is this is the fund that is accompli.

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things are considered i'm peter lavelle what explains the bipartisan commitment to an ending wars in foreign military interventions recent polls show the majority of veterans in this century's foreign wars say it wasn't worth it in 2016 trying to gain traction for doubting foreign adventures today. doing the same why are the elite out of touch. and ending wars i'm joined by i guess daniel shaw in new york he is a professor of latin american and caribbean studies at city university of new york and but that is that we have peter because nick he is a professor of history and direct.
