bolivian president with. his resignation this. evil. swedish prosecutors dropped a decade long rape investigation. of the. extradition to the united states from the u.k. .

support for. stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment as well this is the weekly an international. amid week's deadly violence in bolivia lawmakers have moved to hold a presidential election but have barred. his supporters have caused widespread disruption with protests in the other major cities and recently took a soldier's hostage to. the authorities. information on the remaining.

protests to preselection amid allegations of fraud but it's his loyalists largely among indigenous groups who are behind the current during which more than 30 people have. controversy by giving police with the protesters and immunity from prosecution. who's currently in mexico being asylum spoke exclusively to r.t. about what is 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 president 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 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 hugo bunsen 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 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 settle it the in prices on the world market i realize though that some industrialized countries are afraid to compete 1st in the field of technological development and seconds 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 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 struggle 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 well r.t. america news anchor rick sanchez he discussed the situation in bolivia with pewter prize winning journalist chris hedges who is of the view the u.s. has 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 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 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 said even though he brought poverty down in a country where no one else would i do this in was we want to control the lithium and the multinational corporations they they set the machine in motion. on tuesday swedish prosecutors dropped the 2010 rape investigation against wiki leaks founder julian assange on a lack of evidence the case was shelved 2 years ago but was reopened after a sound was forcibly drawing dud of the ecuadorian embassy in london in april that came about after the country terminated his 7 year asylum they're just currently being held in belmarsh prison in london where he's serving a 50 week sentence for breaching his conditions and 22 of separately be australian

is fighting a us extradition request over wiki leaks publishing of classified information on american political and military dealings reporting next. for 9 years due to the thaw in his faith on the 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 said 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 it didn't issue investigations and investigative steps taken over the summer in the autumn 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 alter the average in cherry basis 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 plenty of. space to be dragged 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 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. perceiving where the us 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 silence 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 wrongdoing 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 whistleblowers should be lauded their heroes whistleblowers do this sort of thing not 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 self and no without. a wiki leaks supporter of

british rock legend to roger waters believes the whole extradition case has nothing 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. it's exposure. 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 they might function is by informing the public and the electorate what. so this business subjects tradition has nothing to do with the legal process. more of the week's big stories ahead including the u.s. canceling a key element of the nuclear deal the country wrestles with fuel price protests

spurred 'd already punishing sanctions you're with. and. so i do object now i will continue objecting to people. who never want to greece in power and their position we must not become a nato member under any circumstances our reason is clear nato. because. 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 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. hello again the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei 0 announced on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers and our runs for daniel are facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal it comes after tehran the said how'd resume in the process of uranium enrichment up the plant 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 a bit revolutionary. and it's destabilizing foreign policy in the region to be simply like. if you strange the united states and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing much pressure on the tougher sanctions on iran are communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests expect anything else from mr disgracefully defense the pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran. surprise 50 percent hike in fuel prices or earlier this month the government said the revenue would be used to help the less well off but boiled over in at least a dozen cities buildings found pictures of supreme leader burnt he described the rioting of. the protesters who you're starting with. the trump administration seems jubilant about the recent protests in iran as i said to the

people of iran a year and a half ago the united states is with you now the protests are being driven by the economic situation 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. 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 iranian officials 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 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 democracy i mean the united states was the country together with britain instigated the 1000 we were against democratically elected mohamed side there right now it's no different i mean the united states has imposed a 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 this hour to news hour at yet another week of the trump and pitchman in the u.s. started with an embarrassing incident during a t.v. interview with a democratic lawmaker which instantly one follower in its own bizarre way it highlighted the visions currently in american politics yourself or. 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 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. fought 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 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 def did not hear it even politicians have jumped on to the bandwagon keen to show off the shop where it clearly. is human. 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 tracing 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 presenters 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 ways think they're safe just because the king in the shot but guys 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 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 and. grievances are raising their head again in the balkans so what does the future actually hold for the region one still here discusses the worlds apart. thwack

thank you thank theory thank you her 3 whitney 3rd thing. the world is driven by shaped by strong person those. who dare use thinks. we dare to ask.

plan welcome to all the part of the petition of yugoslavia once thought to be a close chapter has come back that evangelists from diplomatic sabotage between serbia and costs of blood to the governance paralysis in boston and hard to hold enough the balkans i still struggling with the old graham. this while eagerly nursed the new ones in this period of increasingly result of another conflict well to discuss that i'm now joined by the boss. dodik in the express mr dodik

thank you for joining us on the ship got next year will mark the turns this is anniversary of the daytona courts which back then were widely considered a diplomatic win for the clinton administration and about what the state interestingly now it's russia who insists that this agreement should be observed rather than the u.s. . how would you personally explain this ironic historical twist. russia is the only one who falls international law and the international treaty in question which undoubtedly the dayton accords are going to throw out even after clinton the north of us administration continue to dare agave the agreement and it will be in line was earlier promises to the muslims in bosnia and herzegovina worth of that they would calm down serbs that you know 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 on 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 serb scum they were the only ones who systematically violated the dayton accords with their most introduce the term of the spirit of dayton rather than the letter of the date and in that spirit to try to take all of the rooty away internal serbs and croats you know i've been through the more 1st mass to be submitted politically because i will of the muslim soraya you know supporter of the more. remarkable federal bill collateral damage in that case call it that all you would torture is will be with me. in one of your recent insidious so you could boast in herzegovina i quote. certainly created state still you're living within the framework of this agreement at this point other daytona courts are doing republican serbska more harm than good advice is this true or no there is no doubt that bosnia and herzegovina

was an experiment it goes up at the door when the dayton accords were adopted and that experiment of the main idea was to create a perfectly normal society to 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 yugoslavia because the relations of the same people who remained in bosnia-herzegovina with the main problem in the former yugoslavia. were for full service 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 the cold but how could a small yugoslavia survive were not prepared to cope. with somebody is not

recognized by the agreement were formed for such as the peace implementation council 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 and herzegovina. and it introduced a special way of governing in the last 15 years the neighboring the invested this of the countries of that council to meet in sarajevo and decide what to do most in herzegovina. that was done by introducing a new system of government for. what the children all call the system and equip them better. there is nothing like this in the world but we're told it's been 24 years after they went was signed. the international community remains here the world order they have not dismantled the dayton accords enough to destroy the subjectivity of republicans who voted to usually agree that is why the high presented.
