good morning live from. moscow welcome to the weekly a recap of some of the biggest stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you . first weeks of deadly violence in bolivia in the week just gone lawmakers move to hold a fresh presidential election but they. standing at the same time as his supporters have been causing widespread disruption with protests in the capital and other major cities and they also recently took 8 soldiers hostage to. i. did on that last bit your forty's later said that several of the men were released but the still no information on the remaining officer was

free from a raw list when he was forced to resign of course after a wave of protests since october's election amid allegations of fraud but its loyalist supporters largely among indigenous groups were being behind the current unrest during which almost 30 people have died so far and then self-proclaimed interim president janine and there's has this self sparked controversy giving police dealing with protesters immunity from prosecution is morale issues currently in mexico then after being granted asylum spoke exclusively to r.t. international relief about what's happening in this 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 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 margaret 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 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 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 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 the indigenous populations movement which has changed a major 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 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 and

i had a wonderful relationship with all the military leaders of course they were 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 ever. ever more heart is talking exclusively to us they are with that interview that went out earlier in the wake now also to american news anchor rick sanchez discussed the situation in bolivia with pulitzer prize winning journalist chris hedges uses the u.s. as 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 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 bolivia where i lived in bolivia the spanish in bolivia this is the powder 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 evil morality so 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. this is big news. we choose to swedish prosecutors dropped the 2010 rape investigation against wiki leaks founder julian assange citing a lack of evidence the case was shelved 2 years ago but was reopened after his son was forcibly dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy in london in april that was after the country terminated his 7 year asylum that isn't just currently being held in belmarsh prison in london then where he's serving

a 15 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions in 2012 separately is fighting a us extradition request of wiki leaks publishing classified information on the us political and military dealings reporting next day isa rally for 9 years joining the thoughts of faith an uncertain future in the u.k. it all started with a sex crime charges in sweden that could have seen the wiki leaks co-founder being extradited back to the scandinavian country he himself feared he would then be handed over to the u.s. for releasing classified information but sweden has now dropped the rape case against the star and after dinner show investigation and even that's good it's taken over the summer india is now clear that the oral statement testimony and support given by the injured party has weakened their stores i have come to the conclusion that additional interviews with julian assange would not alter the average in cherry basis that any decisive manner as such i have decided not to hold

an interview with him up until now sweden could have still off of the extradition now that no longer a threat and ironically means other than the impending hearing there's nothing standing in the way of mr thunders extradition to the us. that is now focused on the threat mr science has been warning about for years the belligerent prosecution of the united states and the threat it poses to the 1st amendment the swedish sex crime allegations led to the ecuadorian embassy in august plenty of. space with the drag out of april this year he's currently in prison now swedish charges have been brought all the time sometimes there's a trial scheduled for february next year but some are concerned about whether he'll get a fair hearing i think that it's absolutely fair to say that politics does come into play. in extradition proceeding it was not designed to be

a political or say that politics absolutely positively should not come into play but should be treated as any other. proceed and where the u.s. are seeking to have someone extradited from u.k. to us or u.k. seeking to have one extradited from the u.s. back to you. but i think it's cruel ish for one to assume that politics will not come into play in this particular matter and if he is eventually sent to the u.s. he may not ever that leave with a potential of 175 year sentence if he's found guilty of the 18 counts the u.s. has charged him with.

but i think. the pursuit of julian the science is that the fear is about how whistleblowers are treated by washington although not every whistleblower is treated the same not if

they're protected by the cia whistleblowers should be protected protecting whistleblowers who see wrong dealing of any kind and that government is the shanshu is basically on the verge of not only revealing the identity or getting somebody else to reveal the identity of the whistleblower but also bringing harm to that person everything's politically motivated that of the trumpet ministration as absolutely no credibility and no principles whatsoever when it comes to these things. whistleblowers should be protected we're so blowers should be lauded their heroes. whistleblowers do the sort of thing now for personal gain not for ego they do it for the public good and it's proof to me that. donald trump doesn't care about the public good he cares about self and no one else. wiki leaks

supporter and british rock musician roger waters told us he believes the whole extradition case is going to have to do with the legal process. somebody banged up in belmarsh for 23 ounce out of every 24 being slowly murdered by the state because he told uncomfortable truths about war crimes committed by the united states of america. its exposure will leave purely political this is a political prisoner he's been hung out to dry as a warning to others. others who might decide that they might be journalists that they might fulfill their function as journalists by informing the public and the electorate of what goes on secretly in their name so this business objects tradition has nothing to do with the legal process. this is the weekly. more the week's big stories ahead including the u.s.

counseling a key elements of the twin thing a run nuclear deal as the country wrestles with the fuel price protests spurred by oh by the pollution the sun is one of the stories recapping ahead. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by.

the day or thinks. we dare to ask. again the u.s. secretary of state might pompei o announced on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers on iran's forder nuclear facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal than it's after taran said it had resumed uranium enrichment at the plant pompei also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country slammed as hypocritical. the people will

enjoy a better future when their government to respect basic human rights abandon its revolutionary. posture and its destabilizing foreign policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation. if you strange the united states and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing much pressure and a tougher sanctions on iran communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we don't expect anything else from mr discreetly defends the maximum pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran. the unrest broke out of a surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices earlier this month the iranian government said the revenue was going to be used to help the less well off but it caused anger to boil over in at least a dozen cities with buildings being vandalized and pictures of iran's supreme leader he described the rudd thing as sabotage and branded the protest as hooligans . but trump administration seems jubilant about the recent protests in

iran said the people of iran almost a year and a half ago the united states is with you now the protests are being driven by the economic situation g.d.p. growth projections are down by 9.5 percent inflation is it 40 percent and unemployment is at 16 percent and rising but it was a 15 percent increase in the price of fuel that sparked the recent turmoil. now an economic squeeze like that is bound to get people upset but why is iran in such poor shape well donald trump has a lot to do with it in 2015 the international community agreed to lift decades old sanctions in response to an agreement that was reached about iran's peaceful

nuclear energy program. but then along came donald trump he decided to pull out of the nuclear agreement he says that iran broke the spirit of the deal however international observers say that iran fully complied as of today i can state that iran is implementing its new candidate that commitment after pulling out of the deal the trump administration began imposing sanctions on iran intended to wreck their economy accusing iran of quote destabilizing activities around the region the usa even threaten to impose sanctions on other countries that dared to buy iranian oil anyone doing business with iran will not be doing business with the united states i'm asking for world peace nothing less. weare ready to impose sanctions on any activity subject there's directions after the iran nuclear deal in 2015 iran was exporting roughly $2500000.00 barrels of oil per day now that number is down to

roughly 200000 in a country where the economy is centered around state run oil exports that's a pretty big financial loss and it has been detrimental cuts in fuel subsidies and other benefits for the population had to be made so i don't know talk to regina fisher as have sat down and made a decision for the country based on expert assessments this decision must be executed and according to donald trump working to economically ruin iran makes him the best friend of the iranian people nothing says i love you like bleeding someone dry as cool nations to support iran's people as they struggled to reclaim. their religious and rights is. today i want to deliver a message to the long suffering people of iran. the people of america stand with you will be arrayed in people return to the nations proud roots as

a center of civilization culture and wealth where their people can be happy and prosperous once again the united states throughout the u.a.e. and history has always been against the united states was a country together with britain instigated the 1000 who are against democratically elected mohamed side there right now it's no different i mean the united states has imposed very severe sanctions on iran which is worth a lot of the ordinary so coming out and say that they support these people is hypocritical. thanks for watching a recap of the stories of the last 7 days let's take 90 seconds out now that see what's happening rather world these are live pictures coming up let's check him out of going on in hong kong today's been a record turnout apparently for the 1st local elections there since the mass and he beijing protests began in june it's been seen as

a barometer of popular opinion after 5 months of violent unrest and growing calls for universal suffrage for the 1st time the government's position riot police at all polling stations people are asking for a bit of quiet there today but they say live pictures will be across that one for the rest of the day elsewhere protests in several cities across israel saturday with thousands calling on the prime minister to resign but even that yahoo's been charged with bribery corruption and breach of trust in the 1st criminal cases to be brought against a sitting israeli premier in jerusalem there was a rally in support of the in party's leader who claims he's the victim of which a little tentative food this now. and the petition from colombia the country will see a 3rd consecutive day of demonstrations on saturday over alleged government corruption and the possible instructional sturdy measures more than a quarter of a 1000000 people have joined the forces since the days of the proposed changes to the minimum wage pensions and taxes rallies have been sporadic they've seen clashes

with police it's also led to 3 deaths again keeping on. finding for gold. in one of the more off beat stories of the last 7 days yet another week of trade trump impeachment saga in the us started with an embarrassing incident during a t.v. interview with a democratic lawmaker which there went viral as you about to see and it's so bizarre way it's highlighted the divisions in american politics a sask tailor reports. more so than at the washington is thick with intrigue contriver see the public hearings in the latest trump impeachment saga into their 2nd week and everyone wants to know has he done it will this be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the ukrainians to help him choose an election that can't be right guys i think we've got the wrong sound bite in the. what. really

ok no apparently that is right. fought gate is on everyone's lips democratic representative erik's was weighing in on the ongoing impeachment hearings when he dropped. dropped an explosive bomb on m s n b c you'd think though that while one world human stuff happens move on and 2 the president of the united states of america could possibly be impeached potentially just the thought in the country's history but no the scandal over that quick moment is refusing really. to blow over and mainstream media is leading the charge trying to get to the bottom of it i'm really sorry about the but i have to ask if this was you or someone in the studio it was not me and i didn't hear it when i was speaking you look like you heard it and. i didn't did not

hear it even politicians have jumped on to the bandwagon keen to show off the shop wit cutely when i didn't 1st. cruz made a rookie error and forgot that he too had been involved in the story that also rippled far and wide to show you senator and thank you for keeping it clean you know without waiting out more so let's see what all the conspiracy theories on the table are the program on which i happened hardball tried to cover up its tracks and said it was just the presenter scraping his mug across the table to which swalwell took a leaf out of trump's book and breathed a sigh of relief but let's test that one out neal over to you.

not sure so maybe another one the cameraman was to blame they were ways think they're safe just because they're in the shot but guys is that even possible you know. neither of the theories held up to scrutiny though view as smelt a rat pluto was demoted as a planet but eric swallow is now secure among the gas giants. is not a candidate that you can stand behind the cover of is own worries worse than a crime so while iran faces protests bolivia it faces a coup trump faces possible impeachment and the u.k. faces and not the string of pranks it delays the media follows it's very funny excellent nose for stories let's see when this one runs out of gas ok thought this is ridiculous i mean are you know you can talk about this seriously under. the
