facility as the secretary of state runs home his support of fog going mass protests . a warm welcome you watching the weekly here on r.t. international bringing you all the latest world news and a roundup of the stories that shape the week but 1st amid weeks of deadly violence in bolivia lawmakers have moved to hold a fresh presidential election but have bars ousted even more rollo's from standing his supporters have caused widespread disruption with protests in the capital and other major cities and recently took 8 soldiers hostage to. but i. think i. was already zeta said that 7 of the men were released but there's still no information on the remaining officer even morales was forced to resign after

wednesday round to be ample 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 going to act 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. 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 you 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 as mr alberto and i plan to settle 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 colossal struggle 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 center of the highest prayer 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 were not. the american news anchor rick sanchez discussed the situation in bolivia with pulitzer prize winning journalist chris hedges 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 a 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 powder and now

they found lithium it believed well and apparently 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. 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 assad was forcibly dragged out of the ecuadorian embassy in london in april that came about after the country terminated his 7 year asylum there and so on just currently being held in belmarsh prison in the british capital 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 of the wiki leaks is publishing of classified information on american political and military dealings reporting that. for 9 years judy the science is free for the uncertain future the carry it all started with sex crime charges in sweden but 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 silent after dinner issue investigation and investigative steps taken over the summer 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 additional interviews with julian assange would not argue or d. avid in cherry bases in a decisive manner as such i have decided not to hold an interview with him up until

now could have still offer assigned to the 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 thorold's 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 geishas led to the ecuadorian embassy in august plenty of. space to be dragged out of a pool 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 is 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 this 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. is 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.

illo . illyria . the pursuit of duty in the sciences that the fear is about how whistleblowers are treated by washington almost 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 in our 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 at the trumpet ministration as obsolete no credibility no principles whatsoever when it comes to these things. whistleblowers should be protected whistleblowers should be applauded their heroes whistleblowers do this sort of thing not for personal gain not for good 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. wiki leaks support and put his rock musician roger

waters told r.t. the whole extradition case has nothing to do with legal process. somebody banged up in belmarsh for 23 hours out of every $24.00 being slowly muddied by the state because he told uncomfortable truths about him so for me to buy states of america. it surely purely political this is a political prisoner he's being hung out to dry as a warning to others others who like decide that they might be journalists that they might fulfill that function as gen this by informing the public and the electorate of what goes on quickly in their name so this business of beck's tradition has nothing to do with the legal process. more of the week's big stories still to come including the u.s. counseling a key element of the do in dealing iran nuclear deal as the country wrestles with fuel price protests spurred by already punishing sanctions live from moscow here

with r.t. international. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race is on off and spearing dramatic development is only really going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partners. law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that make the stream media refuses to tell more

than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. combat exhausting international now polls in hong kong of close this sunday where there's been a red cold turnout in local elections as the 1st since the mass protests began in june it's being seen as a litmus test for hong kong's chief executive carry lown over how she's handled months of violence on the west counting is underway with the results expected to be officially announced early on monday earlier we spoke to benjamin chao from the

shanghai international banking and finance institute tuesdays the voters provided some much needed breathing space from the protests. there used to. be more on one hand the leaders security measures or. were pockets. weak words on the other hand both sides can actually call for a ceasefire today he's encouraging that law and order back to the city at least for what today people have lost their mind however that the actions and actions of the rioters are highly coordinated contrary to the cream having no mastermind behind the real people breaching lost most of the seats of these elections is not directly impact much the majority of elections to the council for lawmaking nor that election committee for the next chief executive so i expect why you could still go

on respect that you actually results expression of ultimate intention of the right is really not just about the welfare of hong kong but on a bigger global political competition between powerful nations. the u.s. secretary of state might pump a are announced on monday that washington will end sanctions waivers on iran's fordo nuclear facility a key component of the landmark atomic deal it comes after 2 rounds that it has resumed the process if you rein him in richmond to the plant pompei also reiterated his support for the ongoing protests in iran which the country has slammed as hypocritical. people enjoy 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. it is strange the united states and its officials who have committed the greatest of crimes by imposing much

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 discreetly defends the much more pressure regime and the position of sanctions on iran. the only restaurant house off to a surprise 50 percent hike in feel price is that of this month the reigning government said the revenue would be used to help the less well off but in at least a dozen cities with buildings vandalized and pictures of iran's 2 prelate of burned he described inviting 7 glad to protest discriminate and his. the trumpet ministration seems jubilant about the recent protests in iran so he said to 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 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 you decide. 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 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 was have sat down and made a decision for the country based on expert assessments and this decision must be

executed which. 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. in history has always been against. the united states was a country together with britain instigated in 1000 who were democratically elected

mohamad side there right now it's no different i mean the united states has imposed very severe sanctions on iran which is 1st a lot of ordinary so coming out and saying that they support these people is hypocritical. as another week of the trump impeachment saga in the u.s. started with an embarrassing incident during a t.v. interview with a democratic lawmaker late to instantly went viral and in his own bizarre way it highlighted the divisions in american politics his son. 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. 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 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 guess i did not hear it even politicians have jumped on to the bandwagon even to show off the shop where it cutely me i'd love. if human. cruz made a rookie ara and forgot that he too had been involved in a story that also rippled far and wide to show you senator and thank you for keeping it clean you know without. him 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 ways think they're safe just because the king in the shot but dies is that even possible you know. no i thought of the theories held up to scrutiny though view was 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 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 threats 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. thanks to using r.t. international we're back at the top of the hour. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to you. so the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is fun it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to them. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for

god's guys were. tough and. the way you go through the food. bank itself mukti about. this we've got to go through hard not to think and i'm going to dissipate the state of the marketplace and i don't miss so much and if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights hughes who wait. is true and you can call the fee on this bill frist would be about to have a whole movie about a lot of. what i think is this is the fund that is for company.

as of 2013 the pet food industry was dominated by only 5 more titan glamour companies. you know when a consumer walks 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 that one perfect food. but just how different are these choices and what's really going on

inside of those bags is what's inside really as healthy as the shiny outside labeling would have you believe. it is. famous here in fact going to get into creative veterinarian bourbonnais illinois. this is a commercially available raw food diet this is what i am i'm also going to give the boys had a. great 1st approach. is a. very dire. thing is it.

so there is a problem in the pet food industry and most pet owners are aware that there's a problem and unless you have an interest in digging deeper and finding out what those issues are you can go through your whole life eating the exact same food assuming what you're doing is healthier pat and once you start digging the evidence becomes overwhelming that the industry has significant issues. the human animal relationship is deeply embedded in our society. it is estimated that 80000000 dogs are in the united states with 96000000 cats. americans alone has been an estimated $60000000000.00 on pet expenses every year and that number is growing exponentially. it's all.
