waiver and on an atomic facility at the secretary of state graham's home his support for the ongoing mass protests. very warm welcome to you you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international bringing you all the latest world news and a ground up with the stories that shape the week but 1st i made weeks of deadly violence in bolivia lawmakers have moved to hold a fresh presidential election but have barred ousted even morales from standing his supporters have caused widespread disruption with protests in the capital and other major cities recently took 8 folgers hostage to. i. think i. do it or it is latest that the 7 of the men were released but there's still no information on the remaining officer

even rollo's was forced to resign after a wave of protests following opcodes election amid allegations of fraud but it's his loyalists appall to is largely among indigenous groups who are behind the current of the rest of which more than 30 people have died and self-proclaimed interim president cheney and there's has herself spock's control with the by giving police dealing with protesters in unity from prosecution. more all those who is currently in mexico after being granted asylum spoke 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 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 hugo bunsen who for 7 years will believe me as a dictator i was called an 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 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 aigle 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 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 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 r.c. american news anchor rick sanchez discussed the situation in bolivia with pulitzer prize winning journalist chris hedges and he says 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 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 citing a lack of evidence the case was shelved 2 years ago but was reopened after a song he was falsely dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy in london in april came about after the country terminated his 7 year phylum there a stone just currently being held in belmarsh prison in the british capital where he's serving a 50 week sentence for breaching his bell conditions in 2012 was that britney the

australian is fighting the u.s. extradition request over wiki leaks is publishing of classified information on american political and military dealings reporting next to isa. for 9 years judy the science is free from uncertain future in the u.k. it all started with sex crime charges in sweden could have seen the wiki leaks co-founder being extradited back to the scandinavian countries 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 science but after dinner show investigation and investigative steps taken over the summer is now clear that the oral statement testimony and support given by the injured party has weakened their source i have come to the conclusion that additional interviews with julian assange would not argue or d. avid in cherry pieces. of manner as such i have decided not to hold an interview

with him up until now could have still lost sons extradition now that vote's no longer a threat that ironically means other than the impending hearing there's nothing standing in the way of mr saunders 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 out of geisha and led to the ecuadorian embassy in august plenty of. space with the drugged out of april this year he is currently in prison now swedish charges are being 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. you seek it out when 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 who see wrongdoing of any kind and that government is essential 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 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 self and no one else but he takes the post on british rock musician mojo walters told i think the whole extradition case has

nothing to do with 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 surely 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 that function as journalists by. the public and the electorate of what goes on secretly in their name so this business to be extradition has nothing to do with the legal process. that we can pick stories coming up including the us consulate i can lament it when doing it wrong nuclear deal the country wrestles with fuel price protests but already punishing sanction fly from moscow

you know with international. i do object now you know and i will continue objecting to people in republican. never one agrees those in power and their position we must not become a nato member under any circumstances our reason is clear nater 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 we're going to talk this way over we would betray the memory of those who died as

a result of the bombing operation and was called the angel of mercy can you imagine that. welcome back the u.s. secretary of state mark pompei announced on monday that washington would end sanctions waivers on iran's fordo nuclear facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal it comes off the terrans that it had resumed the process of the radium enrichment at the plant pompei also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country has slammed as hypocritical. 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. it is strange that the united states and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing maximum pressure and the toughest sanctions on iran are communicating to the iranian people that they support these protests we don't expect anything else from mr palmeiro he disgracefully defends the maximum pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran and arrest broke out 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 i got boiled over and at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of iran's supreme leader burned he described the rioting as sabotage and brown that the protesters hooligans his are to use kelly more pay. the trumpet administration 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 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 fish use 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 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 in 1000 who were against democratically effect that mohamed aside 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. the death toll from allied passenger plane crash in the democratic republic of congo has now risen to 27 according to emergency services and i could. came down shortly after takeoff in a densely populated area of the eastern city of goma the plane's operating company has said 17 passengers and 2 pilots were on board the reason for the crash is currently unclear with the initial assessment put down to technical issues. and

other news polls have now closed this sunday where there's been a record turnout in hong kong's local elections the 1st since the massive anti beijing protests began in june is being seen as a good leader almost a popular opinion after 5 months of violence and rest and growing calls for universal suffrage counting is underway with the results expected to be officially announced early on monday elsewhere this too. lonely a witness to the day of demonstrations also on saturday over alleged government corruption in the possible introduction of austerity measures more than a quarter of a 1000000 people have joined the protest since thursday those changes to the minimum wage pensions and taxes rallies thought sporadic clashes with police that have led to 3 deaths. and yet another week of the trial impeachment saga in the us started with a number barris thing 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 is. more so than. washington is thick with intrigue and travesty the public hearings in the latest trump impeachment saga are 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 president use taxpayer dollars to. help them 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 tag 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 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 are stifling a lot i guess did not hear it even politicians have jumped on to the bandwagon keen to show off the shop wit cutely. through 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 choice. so let's see what all the conspiracy theories on the table are the program on which i happened to try 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 ways 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 which every swallow is now secure among the gas giants. is not a candidate that you can stand behind the cover of is always 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 thoughts at this is ridiculous i mean are you know you can talk about this seriously and. want to get in touch and share your thoughts on any of our stories by following us on social media join us again at the top of the hour.

i thank you thank lightly thank ye.

the problem in venezuela is not that has been poorly implemented.

within a decade my country was ruined. it lost a quarter of its manufacturing. a 1000000 people emigrated and public debt kept arising. in 2015 a government claiming to be a left wing promise to force it into. however its agreed measures that tie the country up until 2060 and started mass privatisation. voters on the lift became depressed because it had succeeded with what the right hadn't. the right was depressed because they knew they'd lost their is on death row. in this country of mass depression however there was one word that awakens the political fervor of the. venezuela.

i love the supporting cast we see. steve it is would send them out of the movie. on another human as well again not good no not the. one a european country went through a crisis why were its politicians worried about toilet paper in latin america.
