it's believed. that.

with the stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment of well this is the week international a little welcome. amid weeks of deadly violence and bolivia lawmakers move to hold a fresh presidential election but barred. from standing his supporters have caused widespread destruction but protests in the major cities and recently took 8 soldiers hostage to. i. the authorities later said that 7 of the men were released but there's still no

information on the officer. to resign after a wave of protests following october's election and made. but it's his loyalists supporters largely among indigenous groups who are behind the wrist which more than 30 people. on self-proclaimed interim president. herself sparked controversy by giving police dealing with prosecutors immunity from prosecution. who's currently in mexico after being silent spoke exclusively to r.t. one has. 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 presidents 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 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 louis but i was not connected the report was published on sunday morning i spoke with the 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 whore here 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 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 as mr alberto and i plan to set leave the in 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 i call 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 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 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 or r.t. america news anchor rick sanchez the scuffs the situation in bolivia with pure literary prize winning journalist chris hedges who saves the us has a hand in the prices. 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 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 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 evil morality 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. choose the swedish prosecutors drop the 2010 rape investigation against wiki leaks founder julian assange scientists have evidence the case was shelved 2 years ago but was reopened after a son who was forcibly drug duds of the ecuadorian embassy in london in the approach that came about after the country terminated his 70 year asylum there. just currently being held in belmarsh prison in london where he's serving

a 15 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions and 2012 separately the australian is fighting a u.s. extradition request over wiki leaks publishing classified info on american political military dealings reporting next to sally for 9 years judith on his faith and 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 he would then be handed over to the u.s. for releasing classified information but sweden has now dropped the rape case against the songe after dinner issue investigation and investigative steps taken over the summer indeed is now clear that the oral statement testimony and support given by the injured party has weakened therefore i have come to the conclusion that additional interviews with julian assange would not on average in cherry bases

in a 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 thaw and as 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 28th from where he was famously dragged out of april this year and he's currently in prison now swedish charges have been dropped all the time sometimes his extradition 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 now is coming

to. an 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. proceeding where the u.s. are seeking to have someone extradited from u.k. to us or u.k. or shaking down 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. i. the pursuit of beauty in 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 is she wrong dealing of any kind and that government is a sham 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 were 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 but wiki

leaks supporter and british rock musician roger waters believes the whole extradition case has nothing to do with makes the process. somebody bang belmarsh for 23 hours out of every $24.00 being slowly murdered by the state. he told uncomfortable truths. to. mark. purely purely political this is supposed to prove he's being hung out to dry as a warning to others others who decide that they might be journalists that they might fulfill the function of this boy informing the public and the electorate of what songs quickly in their name so this business to be extradition has nothing to do with the legal process. more of the week's top news stories and likely 2nd stay

with us. so i do object now and i will continue objecting to people in republican groups of never one agrees those in power and their position but you know we must not become a nato member under any circumstances our reason is clear nato bombed pretty public a service. it bombed us using depleted uranium munitions. and that still is killing our children today. and if we decided to become a nato commutativity we would give it a moral right to believe that it did the right thing and this way we would betray the memory of those who died as a result of the bombing operation called the angel of mercy can you imagine that.

quarter of an hour into the program welcome back the u.s. secretary of state like pump ale announced on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers all arounds for nuclear facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal that comes after tehran said it had resumed the process of uranium enrichment plant pump a also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country has slammed as hypocritical. the iranian people enjoy a better future when their government begins to respect basic human rights abandon

its revolutionary. posture and its destabilizing foreign policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation but i do you mean if you strange the united states and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing maximum pressure in the toughest sanctions on iran how do you know communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we don't expect anything else from mr disgracefully defense the maximum pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran. will be unrest broke 'd out after a surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices earlier this month the iranian government said that revenue would be used to help the less well off but boiled over in the police the dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of iran's supreme leader and he described the rioting. and branded the protesters at the games with more. the trumpet ministration 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 50 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 it is implementing its. commitments 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 threatened 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 to restrictions 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 top arena fishers have sat down and made a decision for the country based on expert assessments this decision must be executed. but 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 yes cool nations to support iran's people as they struggle to reclaim. their religious and rights is destiny 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 democracy i mean the united states was. a country together with instigated in 1000 who were 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. finally in the news of the 7 day something a bit off beat yet another week of the trump and pitchman saga in the u.s. started with. an embarrassing incident during a t.v. interview with a democratic lawmaker which instantly went viral and in its own bizarre way it highlighted the divisions in american politics yourself. 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 how has he done it will this be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back the president used taxpayer dollars to the ukrainians to help achieve 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. what gate is on everyone's lips democratic representative eric 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 in 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 onto the bandwagon even to show off the shop wit cutely. cruz made a rookie ara 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 neil over to you. not sure so maybe another one the cameraman was to blame they were wise think they're safe just because the king in the shot but dies is that even possible no. no i thought of the theories held up to scrutiny though view was smelt a rat pluto was demoted as a planet but terry swallow is now secure among the gas giants. is not a candidate that you can stand behind the cover of is own way is 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 this is ridiculous i mean are you know you can talk about this seriously and don. and she's off all right old grievances are raising their head again in the balkans so what does the future hold for the area once known as you can tell it discusses that next. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

tough and. way to go through a food. bank itself movie theater. plus we've got to talk it's hard not to be in the dismayed to see the work of an optimist and i think. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way to. the floor you can be found this bill frist would have been. given a lot of the. what i think is this is the fund that is all come from.

young elephants have come to us. especially brutal budging incidents because the best you can so often do see their mothers be killed but also be caught up and. i do believe the elephant smile i see it in these little ones they all say show expression changes. in. the. all.

along welcome to all the part the petition of yugoslavia once thought to be a close chapter has come back with a vengeance from diplomatic sabotage between serbia and cost over to the government paralysis in boston in hearts of all the not the balkans a still struggling with the old premises while eagerly nursing the new ones in this period of increasingly easy peace result of yet another conflict well to discuss that i'm now joined by the boston circulator dodik in the express mr thank you for joining us the next you will mark the twins this is the anniversary of the diatonic chords which back then were widely considered a diplomatic win for the clinton administration about the state interestingly now it's russia who insists that these agreement should be observed rather than the us

. how would you personally. explain this ironic historical twist. russia is the only one who false international law and international treaty in question which undoubtedly the dayton accords are going to throw out even after clinton the north the us administration continue to derogated the agreement and it will be in line with earlier promises to the muslims in bosnia and herzegovina worth that they would calm down and subsequently make the country for muslims as they wish. they had been doing this for 24 years. in any case they have dismantled the date and the words to the extent that republika srpska used to be destroyed. of course they failed to do so but they took many rights from people like a sceptic and they were the only ones who systematically violated the dayton accords with their most introduce the term the spirit of dayton rather than the

letter of the date and in that spirit to try to take all of the rooty away in turn serbs and croats you know i've been thrown in the more 1st mass to be submitted politically to the will of the muslim soraya or the border of the more. collateral damage in that case call after all he would talk fortress will be with me. in one of your recent insidious so you could post in herzegovina i quote and i'm certainly created state if you're still living within the framework of this agreement at this point other daytona courts are doing republican serbska more harm than good less of this. remember there is no doubt that bosnia and herzegovina was an experiment it goes up at the top when the dayton accords were adopted and that experiment of the main idea was to create a perfectly normal society of democratic principles from a conflict ridden society all out of the blue. of course this was not possible so

if you're not wanted democrats in the former yugoslavia mostly in her to govern i was said to be a small you. because the relations of the same people who remained in bosnia-herzegovina was a main problem in the former yugoslavia you think. croats and muslims were the dominant national and ethnic groups in yugoslavia and then suddenly at the end of this process of the dissolution of yugoslavia not having someone powerful in the west sad that bosnia which essentially has serbs croats and muslims as the dominant national ethnic groups must remain in place more often the main question is if a large yugoslavia could not survive in a code of how could a small yugoslavia survive were not prevented. somebody is not recognized by the agreement were formed for such as the peace implementation council when it is not only dayton accords. it has taken over the decision making process on the part of the international community in relation to bosnia.
