supporters of president clash with police during the funeral of a killed protester we speak. about what's happening in the country. but this is. what a real. claims

that russia is planning to meddle in the 2020 us presidential election whether democrats can attract voters with. secularism and. international. president has proposed a fresh elections. the results of the last vote which were mired by allegations of fraud that led to the ousting of a. deadly unrest in which 32 people have reportedly been killed most recently police clashed with people attending the funeral of a protester. when

she took on the cause controversy by giving police dealing with protesters immunity from prosecution a bomber alice who was granted asylum by mexico has spoken exclusively to r.t. about what's happening in his country. i've 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 their fishel 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 request

that 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 going to act the report was published on sunday morning i spoke with a representative of the organization of american states and told him verbatim 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 coop who is in charge of everything now people from the us and whore here to talk with all got a follower of 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 colossal struggle i'm convinced of it i had faith in the armed forces because i thought that in the military there are patriots and the imperialists however certain generals on the center of the highest bear they surprised me i could not believe it and 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 our lives is backed by bolivia's military and she has appointed her own cabinet despite the ongoing protests against her the organization of american states says people should support her until after the new elections. the work of the orient us the experience and expertise that is gained 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 a god's the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to a new free and fair elections as soon as possible. my does say that she's only holding the fort until fresh elections have been held but she appears intent on

putting the country on a radical new course. they had sent out 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 carrying out the election of the members of the court to lead and the things that the wanted.

or to america host rick sanchez discussed of the situation in bolivia with poles or prize winning journalist chris hedges who believes the u.s. has had a hand in the crisis. this is the revolving door 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 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 the spanish in bolivia this is the powder and now they found lithium it believed well they had a parent 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. donald trump is a former top advisor on russia has become the star of the impeachment hearings into the u.s. president by rehashing an old narrative beware of moscow. the impact 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 there are guards the of comments now on how the co-author of a 500 page book where 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 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 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 the season early on from the series that we're going to be in hell 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 are they 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 the 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 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 a democrat sticking to old tricks to cliches all i can say is fellows good luck

winning that election is story in an arkansas newspaper has led to more concerns over russian trolling all because of the use of some look in punctuation. my. no diversion quotation mark. i'm pretty sure the publication just put in whatever little i can i write 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 foreign taking the correspondent gets 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 to me speak up and keyboard used as a quotation mark and looked like other sloppy attempts by russian trolls to push stories i apologize for the mistake and explaining it in the interests of full transparency. france a strict rules on religious displays have sparked another rally after a retirement home shut its doors to an elderly catholic nun for wearing her veil off reports from paris. a nun from eastern france had been wearing her had been told more than 70 if 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 our 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 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 for a long time. from the carbs to workers to do keeney the muslim swimwear for women france has been through countless scandals around islamic clothing and if that christianity has been steering clear of this controversy until now. charles a demand president of middle east and aid group s.o.s. christians of the ether has france's immigration problem has raised tension over such issues. our country is beginning to forget isn't a christian country or. was all it's cut he says i'm friends with not exist a tall order to serve on his results in the political debate some are using it in

order to buy an already just or agents from privileged 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 the local knows is that they turn to have some difficulties to adapt to the french curvature and you know we can understand them because if we present them to french culture as some sings that does not accept footage and a total it's not a good mother to assimilate themselves to the french culture and their way to assimilate it is understand and see if everybody understands that the christian made this country now the trouble was 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 let's say. no secretary states viewpoints. still to come ukraine detains a 2nd i'm still leader in a week we'll bring you the details after

a short break stay with us. i have concern about new technologies and i think society should and i try to. get engaged in those concerns. but we also should have concerns about home doing nothing doing nothing is extraordinary risk you know with some point 5000000000 people in a series of over. technology. this is so is suitable for the moral. to get just a few 500 to a new high transparency has been obliterated all sound accounting has been obliterated all the economic policy that is tied to any economic school that makes

any economic sense has been ignored and obliterated the rule of law has been obliterated everything having to do with a sound society is being ignored to get a number to a higher level and getting so higher level but at what cost. desire to international and while western media obsesses over alleged ukraine ties to u.s. politicians kiev has been exposed to in a far more disturbing international terror case a 2nd islamic state leader in 7 days has been detained in the country on 2 songs get taylor picks up the story. ukraine has revealed that it's arrested of russian citizen who was on 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 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 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 that 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 willingness to do so critics have drawn attention for example to how.

inefficiencies within the ukrainian government which facilitate these kinds of dangerous individuals to slip through the net they drew the attention for example of to the holes in the legal system and law enforcement to a very large fake passport trade as well of course unfortunately to corruption which is an endemic problem in the country and which of course allows for systematic abuses of power 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 want to harm 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 eisel has a never stopped planning attacks on the west to despite their defeat in syria. but only gets only ukraine that i've got a problem with this i think other countries as well and of course if you have free movement across borders anywhere then you're leaving an open door for terrorists and criminals that operate this round was a very senior person who knows this but there are many others that have also 'd managed to escape the battlefield and go back to their countries so this is a worldwide problem obviously he's managed a movie he managed to claim that he was being killed so the the thirty's were on the back foot so it's really concerning it will be interesting to know where he has gone who he's been communicating with whether or not they've been set you know. cells of terrorists dotted around europe and across the world to bring this about they know they never will this is the end of ice it's this this latest battle in

syria is not the end of isis they consider it part will go to war in a war that they're going to bring to light so i think in the in the coming years ahead. the u.k. has defied a u.n. deadline to give back an overseas territory to russia the prime minister of the indian ocean island says london's failure to hand over the shankar's islands makes britain an illegal colonial occupier by an overwhelming majority the un general assembly voted in may to give the u.k. 6 months to return the islands but britain insists the vote is non-binding despite it being backed by a un high court ruling. which the international court of justice found. to be. of the territory.

today. changed. agreed to change. groups are divided on whether to stay. we want to remain a british overseas territory and we want to be resettled in the whole search we

want these countries these islands to belong to us we the natives of these islands this is our right and this is our homeland and we don't want it to be given to another state our people want to be resettled 1st then we will make a decision whom we want to be governed by and in future we of course we would want to become an independent country as far as you're concerned right now we want to remain a british overseas tariff we need to put pressure on them. you can't government to steal what he will do for us we have been fighting back in fact think for a long time 50 years have passed what do you condone that men need to talk with nothing we need to find we we need to stick if we need to bring them to the march of government he's packing for this to the end did you get

a spanking or just for the same god we can't go son we want our rights because our right has been nice we want our country back we don't know we with whom we've called it will be but we would like our country but. there's a form of us our be back with more news this is our 2 international. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you. means that you times have a duty to clean. it

over. you. could want to think about you think about it. each you want to look at them as all. get to be a good tone. often to get the. good children tell them the thought that you can tie one next time you don't come.

hello and welcome to cross talk we're all things to consider and 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.

cross talking 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 because that we have peter because nick he is a professor of history and director of the nuclear studies institute at american university as well as co-author with all of her stone of the untold history of the united states and in washington we cross to camp he is the host and head writer of the comedy new show redacted tonight on our t.v. america all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can. but anytime you want to always appreciate let's go to protests to peter i think that all of us would agree and our audience that it's unlikely that we would ever compared to donald trump ok they're very very different but they do have one commonality and it's an attitude towards foreign adventures now donald trump has not been able to do much about his rhetoric of the campaign while he's been in office but keeps going both of them are.
