4:04 pm
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 cluster igle 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 when 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. self proclaimed leader and years is backed by believe his military and she's appointed her own cabinet despite the

ongoing protests against the organization of american states says that people should support till after the new elections. the work of the orient us the experience and expertise that has gone from other episodes in the americas have helped promote and 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 guides the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to a new free and fair elections as soon as possible on his mind say that she's only holding the fort until fresh elections have taken place but it appears that she's intent on putting the country on a completely new course. they

4:07 pm
has 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
4:08 pm
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 b. 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 the spanish in bolivia this is the pattern and now they found lithium it believed well they 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 he 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. so in terms of. russia has become the star of the impeachment hearings into the us president by rehashing an old narrative beware of moscow. the impact of the successful 2016 russian campaign remains evident today our nation is being taught a 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 are running out of time to stop them against the of take a closer look at how the co-author of a $500.00 page book on limit putin has stolen the show. 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
4:10 pm
the democrats fed him poison impeachment. that trump the president has used his office for his own 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 chub 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 the early on from the series that we're going to be in hell perhaps
4:11 pm
related 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 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 . 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
4:12 pm
2016 remember even rigged a primary against him it didn't work so they're doing it again only logical plants are t. apparently favors tool c. a think tank 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. the story in an arkansas newspaper has led to more concerns over russian trolling or because of the use of some odd looking punctuation.
4:13 pm
no diversion 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 hour if they meant to use it to indicate a russian quotation mark where is the other quotation. milt is the amount of current taking the correspondent did here keep up the professional work. we use those quotation information town and 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 used as a quotation mark and look like other sloppy attempts by russian trolls to push
4:14 pm
stories i apologize for the mistake and explaining it in the interest of full transparency. france's strict rules on religious displays a spot on of the row after retirement home closed its doors to an elderly catholic nun for wearing her veil exist all of as more from paris. a nun from eastern france had been wearing her habit for more than 70 years he didn't plan on changing that when he 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
4:15 pm
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 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 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
4:16 pm
for a long time. from the carbs to the workers to do keeney the muslims when we have women france has been through countless scandals around islamic clothing and in fact christianity has been steering clear of this controversy until now. child of a president of the middle east a group s.o.s. christians of the east says that france's immigration problem has raised tension over issues our country is beginning to forget his own christian current true. without qataris ism friends will not exist a tall order to serve on his results in the political debates some are using it tours in order to buy an already just or agents from pig debate forms of critics for and it's not a good way to deal with problems here in france the troubador always. arrive are often used in new york or knows is that they turn to have some
4:17 pm
difficulties to adapt to the french curvature and you know where we can understand them because if we present them to french culture as some sings that does not accept privilege and total it's not a good mother to assimilate themselves to the french culture and their way to assimilate is understand and see if everybody understands that the christian made this country now the trouble is immigration in france it's so that some are getting crazy and are ready to let our is tory go in order to abide by these are. no secularists viewpoints. always the media obsess over alleged ukraine ties to u.s. politicians has been exposed in a far more disturbing international terror case the 2nd islamic state leader in just 7 days has been detained in the country ski taylor has a story. ukraine has revealed that it's arrested of russian citizen who was on
4:18 pm
interpol's wanted list and this happened on thursday injured told me which is a city in the northwest of the country and now let's just take a very quick listen to the exact reasons that were given for his arrest the man was wanted by interpol for murder according to the information we have the detained person was a member of the terrorist organization islamic state in fact one of its leaders who lived on the territory of ukraine to escape responsibility for the murder all the information that we are getting is coming from police authorities in the region where he was apprehended now they say that he is called oh we do not have his full name yet and that he is a 30 year old male from dagestan which is a republic bordering georgia in the north caucasus it's interesting because the head of the operation said that this particular arrest was part of a wider clear out of potentially dangerous individuals which by implication means that this is not
4:19 pm
a one off case and we can actually look to recent events for confirmation of that just last friday for example ukrainian authorities announced that they had detained a georgian national by the name of shiny now he was a top commander he fought alongside. in syria before escaping to ukraine via turkey last year and he actually continued to coordinate terror attacks from his house not far from here of his detention was part of a joint operation between ukraine georgia and the u.s. and it was following. the shawnees arrest the questions were raised how it was possible that a man who had allegedly held the role of isis deputy minister of war had managed to go unnoticed or at least untouched for such a significant period of time really right under their noses. some talks not just about inability to cope with this kind of high level terrorist but actually it's
4:20 pm
willingness to do so critics have drawn attention for example to how there are certain inefficiencies within the ukrainian government which almost facilitate these kinds of dangerous individuals to slip through the net they tore the attention for example of to the holes in the legal system and law enforcement to a very light from the fake passport trade as one of course unfortunate to corruption which is an endemic problem in the country and which of course allows for systematic abuses of power and just as a final point it's worth noting that this is not just an issue of concern for ukraine but also for its neighbors as we know since 2017 ukraine has enjoyed visa free travel regime with e.u. countries so if it continues to apparently offer an undisturbed refuge for such people it could potentially be exploited as an ideal stepping stone for those who
4:21 pm
want to harm other european nations so clearly a warring and significant issue but this latest arrest hopefully a step in the right direction towards tackling the broader problem. the former head of the u.k.'s counterterrorism security office chris phillips says that arsenal has never stopped planning attacks on the west despite its defeat in syria. only ukraine that it got a problem of this of the other countries as well and of course if you have free movement across all those anywhere then you are illegal open door or terrorists and criminals who wrote this one was a very senior person who knows this but there are many others that have also 'd managed to. go back to that this is a worldwide problem obviously he's managed to move the militia claim that he was being killed so the the origins were on the back foot so it's really concerning it'll be interesting to know where he has gone who communicate. whether or not they've been set you know. cells of terrorists dotted around europe and across the
4:22 pm
world to bring this back they know they never this is the end of ice it's this this latest battle in syria is not the end of us they consider it will all go to war it is our war that they're going to bring into also being in the in the coming years ahead. the u.k. has defied a u.n. deadline to give back an overseas territory tumor the prime minister of the indian ocean island says that london's fairly to hand over the chuggers islands makes britain an illegal colonial occupier i an overwhelming majority the un general assembly voted in may to give the u.k. 6 months to return the islands but insists that the votes non-binding despite it being backed by un high court ruling the shah goes archipelago which the international court of justice found we've knew dissenting voice to be an integral part of the territory of lucius the united kingdom is not in doubt about our

suffering over the british indian ocean territory contrary to what has been said today it has never been part of the republic of militias russia says that britain forced it to give up the islands in exchange for independence back in 168 but u.k. suspicious agreed to the move in exchange for benefits and will see the archipelago when it's no longer needed for defense the us maintains a military base there. they deserve to go soon groups are divided on whether or not to stay part of britain. he

ally has been on the wane since his election 18 months ago police say around 200002 college in protests in several cities. 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. case government this strike was announced. before the protests in other latin american countries like chile or ecuador but people here are telling us that they've been inspired by those movements 5000 police officers here we've also have
4:27 pm
members of the military but the government says that we can't say that colombia is militarized because these soldiers just protected strategic buildings so that's the picture of the ground what about the reasons what spare find this massive strike it's a very differently to what happens in. the 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 also the handling of the peace process or the failure in handling the peace process that has led more violence in the country
4:28 pm
recently we had 8 minus being killed in the government led attack and all of this. has produced this state of discontent among colombian so as we say the protest it's been massive it's be mainly peaceful but it's sending a very clear message to yvonne do pays government here in colombia nicholas o'donovan. professor of latin american studies daniel schorr told us about the rallies roots. columbian masses this country of 40000000 compazine olsen in workers and indigenous who are today marching in flying the y. follow 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 of iran they're
4:29 pm
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 in panama where they're on their way there's also protests scheduled for later today against the same neo liberal agenda so the colombian people are fighting back not just for their interests but for the interests of humble people across the world. if you come to the same thing thank staying with all take and don't forget to check out more stories on our website also don't call.
