hello good afternoon you're watching r.t. international now believe these self-proclaimed interim president has proposed fresh elections and he wants to know the results of the last vote which were mired by allegations of fraud that led to the ousting 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. but when she took charge on a fool's control to see by granting police dealing with protesters immunity from prosecution. is he was granted asylum by in mexico spoke exclusively to r.t.

about 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's 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 that there was an agreement that the organization of american states was supposed to publish their fishel report last wednesday around 2 pm that was the arrangement 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 that 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 there bade him

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 jorge to talk with all got a follower of who for 7 years will believe you as a dictator i was called and tory 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 me as 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 realize though that some industrialized countries are afraid to compete 1st in the field of technological development and seconds they do not want other countries to follow the example of our economic model which is based on socialism. this is a cluster aigle 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 struggle 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 morality resign janina here proclaim to self interest in president she is backed by believe these military and she's appointed her own cabinet saying despite the ongoing protests against 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 a god's the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to a new free and fair elections as soon as possible the acting president and they might say that she generally holding the fort until fresh elections have been held but she does appear intent on putting the country on a radical new coax. they

had a say in the battle to make it clear once again this is a provisional government that will 1st call for general elections and the legislative assembly will have the job of carrying out the election of the members of the court to lead and he's let the one. 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

a government this is that seems 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 libya where i was the spanish in bolivia this is the pattern and now they found lithium living well and apparently that is a huge it is the moral 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 needed to do this in was we want to control the lithium and the multinational corporations they they

set the machine in motion will believe it is that the energy that. american country in the grip of an rest of the moment but later on we report on the anti-government protests that are currently taking place in colombia to. donald trump's impeachment inquiry has so far focused mainly on the u.s. president but 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 his questions our 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're running out of time to stop them. takes a look now at how the co-author of a 500 page book on vladimir putin has become the democrats' star witness at the impeachment hearings. you gotta 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 there we haven't seen a thing is for impeachment to work you need momentum and they're losing it a 1000000 less americans chuen been for the 2nd round of impeachment hearings and trumps ratings have gone up according to gallup i'm telling you it doesn't make any sense sue 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 the seizure early on from the series that was being held perhaps relayed to me a putin also wants you to stop sniffing strangest hair but hey that hasn't stopped yet has it joe putin kremlin moscow russia yeah we've heard it all before everyone has so desperate are they that they're turning to the spiritual the democrats are making a sacrifice crucified on 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 . criticizing people on this stage affiliated with the democratic party let's also talk about judgment or the. 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 it didn't work so they're doing it again only logical plants are tea apparently favors tool see the thing 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 have a 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 meanwhile a story in arkansas newspaper has lead to more concerns too over russian travelling all because of the use of some odd looking punctuation. never did rush in quotation mark. 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 ira if they meant to use it to indicate a russian quotation mark where is the other quotation. milt is the amount of foreign taken the correspondent did here keep up the professional work. we use those quotation in french and italian keyboards as well

so this is occurring in its least 4 languages. it had jumped terror to me if i should speak up and keyboard used as a quotation mark and look like other sloppy attempts by russian trolls to push stories i apologize for the mistake and am explaining it in the interest of full transparency. confronts the clash between secularism and religion has sparked another round after a local retirement home shut its doors in an elderly catholic nun for not keeping her religion to herself because donna reports now from paris. a nun from eastern long had been learning how to hold more than 70 years 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

its services because the she in turn refused to take religious clothing and that hasn't gone well with the religious community here or. do you not see how a nun's veil can be described as offensive it is not a symbol of submission but a 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 abide by france's 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 her 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 phobia 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 workers to burqini 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 i hate that she should not be allowed to go into a day when the whole image is seeing. you see this is a legal eagle because they stay above the vehicle used against the muslims now they get an equal and the 1st be good eating the after play the symbols to everybody and then the over stage the halls because the secular who is not implying that uganda

we didn't really know he daman whole marcos didn't he should be open minded you see they should be want to live their lives i mean who cares that's not the public joeys and is a problem. there is a problem they're looking into parliament with a slow problem we do see you see this is just the most superficial and the most unimportant but there is difference between. that clings secure a reasonable france and the philosophy of sickle or ism you can be also a believer. a secure person that means that you can be a muslim a jew a buddhists a protest and unorthodox whatever you want unless you respect the law the only feeling that is forbidden is to claim religious idea.

political actions because people are afraid of what can be a terrorist attack very or mixing all the ideas and so on that respecting the law. among the story still ahead israel's political crisis deepens as prime minister benjamin netanyahu is charged with bribery and fraud and assess the implications of this just after the break. join me every 1st day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back without a night tens of thousands have taken to the streets in colombia's capital pockets start to protest against the right wing government of u.s.

backed president event dk what started as a largely peaceful march led to clashes with police i. was. colombian trade union students opposition parties and the south american countries and degenerate organizations challenge the case economic social and security policies a festive atmosphere in the plaza turned ugly when a small group of people began to help project police who then responded with tear gas popularity to kay's right wing government to kate u.s. ally has been on the wane since his election 18 months ago police say around 200000 people took part in protests in several cities. nicholas o'donovan sent this report . what started as a normal union strike has morphed into one of colombia's biggest antigovernment protests in recent times tens of thousands of people marching across the country

and here on the streets of bogota this is the rain thousands are still marching against the government towards the city center everything from students to union leaders to tribute to leaders and indigenous people protested as we say against jim case government this strike was announced on october 4th so before the protests in other latin american countries like chile or ecuador but people's. 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 in strategic buildings so that's the picture of the ground what about the reasons what's behind this massive strike well 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 mission 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 or 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 is the mainly peaceful but it's sending

a very clear message to yvonne do case government here in colombia nicolas o'donovan. shore professor of latin american studies tell us more about the roots of the mass protests in colombia. the columbian mess is this country of 40000000 compass seen in workers and indigenous who 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 no u.s. military bases over a 1000 u.s. military soldiers stationed in colombia 12 u.s. military bases in 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 who's back to appeal though in the indictment of 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 selection this is the 1st time a serving israeli prime minister has been indicted israeli journalist may have to be on thinks it will have major political repercussions. he has the ability to ask the knesset the israeli parliament for abuse. but it doesn't seem like there will be

a majority. of the knesset to give immunity from prosecution if you fail to receive. these good good corollary 5 through the uses. system of course you are. mobutu you anything but he is the 1st every 3 prime minister to be indicted why he's. literally corruption is that he talked while serving in office if i think in terms of his long term legacy this is something that will be remembered about being in the me of for many many years the car this is a game changer abusing is a big deal i think it changes the political considerations of all of the players and used. netanyahu has been serving as israeli prime minister since 2009 and it's not the 1st time he's had the job either he previously held the top position from 196999 he's known or save his close relationship with donald trump and with the

help of the u.s. president has achieved a number of his sculptures. toward . the ball before the courts or for the general. president ladies and gentlemen this is. truly no story. and that is how the news is looking this friday afternoon here not a good happy company we're back again at the top of the.

good food descriptions sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to fairy simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats a larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. high salacious full community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. directly. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. i have concern about new technologies and i think society should try to help gauged

in those close urns. by the. we also should have concerns about how doing nothing doing nothing is extraordinarily risky you know world with some point 5000000000 people at a school series over. technologies that are not necessarily suitable for tomorrow.
