their. stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment well this is the weekly international alone welcome. amid weeks of deadly violence in bolivia lawmakers move to hold a presidential election barred. his supporters have caused widespread destruction protests and other major cities and recently took 8.

the authorities later said that 7 of the men were released there are still information on the remaining officer who were always was forced to resign after a wave of protests following today's election amid allegations of fraud but its his loyalists supporters largely among indigenous groups were behind the current unrest during which more than 30 people died and self-proclaimed interim president janine onions has herself sparked controversy by giving police dealing with protesters immunity from prosecution. who is currently in mexico after being granted asylum spoke exclusively to r.t. about what's 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 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 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 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 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 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 center of the highest gear they surprise 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 they're better at ease 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 staying with this story r.t. american news anchor rick sanchez the scuffs the situation bolivia with a prize winning journalist chris hedges who says the u.s. has a in prices. 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 a government this isn't 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 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. moving the show all know and choose they 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 was forcibly drugged of the ecuadorian embassy in london in april now that came about after the country terminated his 7 year asylum their son just currently being held in

belmarsh prison in london where he's serving a 15 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions and 20 told separately the australian this finding a us extradition request over wiki leaks publishing of classified information on american political and military dealings reporting up next he's only for 9 years due to the thought of 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 he didn't issue investigation and investigative steps taken over the summer in india 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 i dish no 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 the no longer a threat that ironically means other than the impending hearing there's nothing standing in the way of mr thaw and the extradition to the us. that is now focused on the threat mr assange has been warning about for years to belligerent prosecution of the united states and the threat it poses to the 1st amendment the swedish sex crime out of geisha and led to the ecuadorian embassy in august plenty of the way he was faced with the drugged out of april this year he's currently in prison now swedish charges have been brought 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 this should be treated as any other. proceeding where the u.s. are seeking to have someone extradited from u.k. to the us or u.k. shaking down of 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 duty 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 she's she wrong dealing of any kind in our 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 their 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 himself and no one else. well wiki leaks supporter and british rock legend roger waters wanted to have his say on this he told us that he believes the whole extradition case has nothing to do with the legal process. somebody banged up in belmarsh for 23 hours out of every 24 being slowly murdered by the state because he told uncomfortable truths about this for me too but. it's surely purely political this is a political prisoner he's being hung out to dry as a warning to others others who might decide that they might be journalists that they might fulfill that function is this boy informing the public and the electorate of what goes on quickly in their name so this business to be extradition has nothing to do with the legal process. pink floyd co-founder roger waters where

more of the week's big stories ahead including the u.s. canceling a key element of the 2 willing a run nuclear deal as the country wrestles with fuel price protests spurred by already published sanctions live from moscow you're with our team. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure i'll be speaking to the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see if. i do object now i will continue objecting to people. who never want to grease. their position between must not become

a nato member under any circumstances our reason is clear nater. it bombed us using depleted uranium munitions. and that still is killing our children today. and if we decided to become a nato member. we would give it a moral right to believe that he did the right thing 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. again the us secretary of state mike pompei o announced monday that washington will end sanctions waivers on iran's $4.00 nuclear facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal now it comes after to iran said it had

resumed the process of uranium enrichment the plant pompei also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country as hypocritical. people will enjoy a better future when their government begins to respect. basic human rights abandons its revolutionary. posture and its destabilizing foreign policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation but i do you mean it is strange the united states and its officials who committed the greatest of crimes by imposing much more pressure on the tougher 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 defends the maximum pressure regime and no position of sanctions on iran. well the rest broke out there after a surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices earlier this month the iranian government said the revenue would be used to help the less well off but under boiled over and

at least a dozen cities with buildings pictures of iran's supreme leader burnt describe the rioting. the protesters look at this killer blocker. the trumpet ministration seems jubilant about the recent protests in iran. 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 a 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. 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 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 top arena fishers 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 struggle to reclaim. their religious and rights is just 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. or to africa where the death toll from a like passenger plane crash in the democratic republic of congo is there are 223

that's according to. since the workers at the site the aircraft came down shortly after takeoff in a densely populated area of the eastern city of goma company officials said 17 passengers and 2 pilots were on board the reason for the crash is currently on clear but it seems the initial assessment has been put on to technical issues. there's been a record turnout in hong kong's local elections the 1st since the beijing protests began in june it's being seen as a barometer of popular opinion after months of violent rest i'm growing calls for universal suffrage those polls close in the less than 10 minutes time for the 1st time the government has positioned riot police at all polling stations and in israel protests over for. dinner with oceans calling on the prime minister to resign and human that has been charged with bribery corruption and breach of trust and the 1st criminal case to be brought against the sitting is really premier in

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 with 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 do you think though that while one world human stuff happens move on and to 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 guess i did not hear it even politicians have jumped on to the bandwagon even to show off the shop where it. usually when i didn't. if you me. 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 tracing out more so let's see what all the conspiracy theories on the table are the program on which i happened hardball trying 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 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 guys is that even possible. neither of the theories held up to scrutiny though view was smelt a rat pluto was demoted as a planet but eric swalwell is now secure among the gas giants eric swalwell is not a candidate that you can stand behind the cover up is always worse than

a crime so while iran faces protests blitz yet faces a coup trump faces possible impeachment and the u.k. faces and not that string of projects it delays the media follows it's very funny excellent nose for the stories let's see when this one runs out of gas ok thoughts at this is ridiculous i mean are you know you can talk about this seriously on. more money than ever before it's being spent on our pets but even with the billions being shelled out do we actually know what goes into the further reading every day we delve into an industry operating seemingly without any oversight.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is fake. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us on the death. or a mate in the shallows. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family and daughters in florida

the other daughter is buried in a cemetery it meaning this is with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court to be. shot after shot as far as i feel that we don't know she'll just screw up on. that end of this trial unfortunately you. will still not know all chill just.

as of 2013 the pet food industry was dominated by only 5 more taken climate companies. yet when a consumer wants into a store it's easy to assume that there is a vast array of choices for their dog or cat and the ability to choose the one perfect food. but just how different are these choices and what's really going on inside of those barracks is what's inside really as healthy as the shiny side labeling would have you believe.
