expression changed. the. libyan t.v. operator says it's been ordered to take r.t. spanish off air from december just the media this big crackdown by the self-appointed government of janine that's according to believe years for president . you know the only thing they have achieved is to create terror in the country 2 people have been killed and there was no investigation. they are even the next on the scene because. in the french capital to raise awareness of violence against women is itself marred by violence as one feminist group clashes with another we spoke to one of the women who took part. i was in the region and we went to this demonstration because we wanted to try and women's rights and the violence against

women the poll just raises questions and demonstration with the slogan all of class turns out not to be for all of us at all. it's the time of thanksgiving again but the u.s. media has been casting doubt on just how the holiday really is. live from moscow what's your team to national just day here in the capsule on daniel hawkins. the spanish will be taken off the airwaves in bolivia at the start of december that's according to the country's leading private t.v. operator this comes amid a violent political crisis in the country during which an elected government power is headed by a right wing senator joining she's accused of suppressing the media and supporters of ousted president evo morales. to discuss the story with my colleague. well no
4:02 am
specific reasons were provided and the bolivian t.v. operator which pretty much excluded r t from their list of channels starting from december the 2nd explained it through some kind of order from what they called the company's administration this is a decision taken by the company's administration which touched us with shutting down the channels broadcast says a private t.v. provider and the leader and believe he is cable t.v. market we do have to remember that a similar move has been made by ecuador's public t.v. operator almost 2 weeks ago they cut of r t spanish as well and moscow demanded explanation for that and still hasn't got it from quito now and this particular case it's unclear whether the decision came so lean from the company's top management or whether this has got anything to do with the political situation in the country we remember that earlier this month bolivia
4:03 am
pretty much suffered a coup and yet take us through exactly what happened that just remind us well now the former president. was all but ousted on november the 10th 1st he won reelection in a vote however the opponents claimed that the poll was rigged and as a result of that even though he actually promised a new election the military and the police turned their backs on mr morales and he had to flee from x. to mexico where he got political asylum now what's very important here is that the interim leader janine yes was never elected in any kind of vote she basically proclaimed herself the interim president of the country when had to step down when the vice president resigned and when the head of senate resigned now she says
4:04 am
. that at the moment her goal is to make sure that new elections are held in the country. that this is the law we believe in we have arrived at this day with the satisfaction of fulfilling that duty because this is the main objective of my government new elections will happen in the shortest time possible but it seems that so far her focus was absolutely different 1st of all she was accused of turning a blind eye on a violent crackdown on the indigenous protesters who are mostly in support of the former leader. but also it seems that all 'd she's been up to is trying to make as many u. turns as possible in the country's foreign policy she appointed a new ambassador to the u.s. for the 1st time in more than a decade and also severed diplomatic ties with bolivia's traditional allies especially under. that is with cuba and venezuela other diplomatic personnel
4:05 am
representing major divinest while an embassy in bolivia will be allowed to leave the country for having interfered in internal state affairs well surely perhaps the biggest political crisis in latin america over the last year or so has been the crisis in that as well the fight between the nicolas maduro government and also the opposition leader who's self-proclaimed president there and in venezuela well what is also did was she recognized mr glyde bill as the head of an as well as well i hope it will end that you with the venezuelan people. because i believe that they have been many years of suffering mr president i do have to say though that eventually interim president on is pushed through a legislation which allowed a new general election in bolivia although this is something that's going to be boycotted by almost a half of the population the supporters of this say that they are not going to take
4:06 am
part in this vote so what kind of general election is that gonna be with almost 50 percent of bolivians deciding not to take part. who resigned as bolivian vice president minutes of the majlis that down talk to us about the people now in charge and their crackdown on the media. you know what i mean is that the so-called communications minister warned journalists to be careful because she's going to take down the names of those who step out of line how can you say that's a journalist's what kind of constitutional freedom can we talk about if they are preventing journalists from doing their jobs from sharing information and telling the truth the country no longer has free speech or a free press. but that it was also is a disgrace that after 11 years of the us distancing itself from bolivia the 1st thing that the coup leaders did was to bend the knee and to make overtures to the
4:07 am
american government we need to have relations with every part of the world because we also have to build relations based on mutual respect we call a c. and none intervention in our internal affairs i hope that bolivia's successful economic policies will not be revamped at the whim of a foreign power that would without a doubt cause an economic disaster. the only thing they have achieved is to create terror in the country 32 people have been killed and there was no investigation no one has been held to account or jailed leaders are hounded they are either in exile in hiding mass media are gagged or threatened with accusations of subversive activity or sedition it's difficult to engage in peaceful resistance against this regime it's hard to say how long this reign of terror will last and how long people will tolerate it depends on how events unfold over the next few weeks and shock of one from the alliance for global justice says the new government in bolivia is trying to stifle critical media coverage could government
4:08 am
and bolivia struggling to stablish its. resistance. they care they can't afford for people. so you hear alternative voices to the. news that they want the message that they want to get get out there because they have to control the message. people can you know if people have free access to information they're going to say that other people or country are are suffering the way that they are so they're going to know that the reason for the suffering is this military coup the sole legitimate government that. composed the resistance will continue and grow. a rally to raise awareness of violence against women in paris on
4:09 am
saturday was marred by clashes. but i was i i was. 'd several women from a feminist group called nemesis collective joined the march they were holding placards saying 53 percent of rapists are immigrants that's a figure taken from a survey back in $24.00 and the movement criticizes the lax migration policies and france saying that women suffer as a result some of the other demonstrators didn't like their presence and started booing and tearing up their placards. while some video from the march went viral that led to a wave of online threats against the nemesis activists they were branded fascists xenophobes and racists the group later released a statement saying other feminists want to silence them we talked to one of the activists who asked those 3 distort her voice to hide her identity. i don't.
4:10 am
we arrived at the demonstration with a plaque cards and started to protest and within minutes other demonstrators saw a massive jump lockhart's it is collated quickly we wanted to put on message cross and calm. now we have frayed we know that our message she's truthful but there are people who are aggressive to us the violence against women the protest raises questions and demonstration with the slogan all of us turns out not to be for all of us are doing since we are being treated like fascists i'm asking what is the basis for this do this women know the definition of. i am angry about this attack being treated in that way we are feminist movement we denounce any kind of violence people speak about freedom of expression but do they mean it we have questions to women who pretend to be feminists who say that they represent are the women. nemesis activist we spoke to told us the rapists of moderate origin are not prosecuted enough she also asked to remain anonymous. i was in the range we went to
4:11 am
this demonstration because we wanted to defend women's rights not enough we said on the subject of migration and when they attacked us like we were precious it just shows themselves it is a real problem with friends a woman cannot go out on the street where she wants because of migrants when i am on the streets and often harassed by men and their nationalities and. rapists of migrant origin is not prosecuted and we need to tell the world that everyone should be punished regardless of this. there are several types of threats that we get on social media fascism and racism these people from the far left what i do not want to accept the reality they want to prevent. the us president donald trump was pardoned 2 turkeys saving him from being saved for thanksgiving the lucky birds are called bread and the pardons are part of a 30 year old white house tradition the trump also used the occasion to crack some
4:12 am
jokes about impeachment while the president himself was media scar's the gloomy light on the whole thanksgiving holiday. it's really hard when i say thanksgiving what's the 1st thing that comes to mind turkey p can i warm hugs with seldom seen relatives well you can forget all that this year thanksgiving is canceled or at least the media says there's too many pilgrims killing natives involved too many children appropriating indigenous culture a big carbon footprint is left behind and of course peter thinks it's on ethical thanksgiving can be the scariest time of the if you're a turkey moving $45000000.00 of these fascinating birds killed to disgrace thanksgiving tables each year. turkeys you don't want to mess with them not after the toms river turkey rebellion flock of wild turkeys are terrorized going to jersey community toto show how the 20 plus pound birds can be dangerous blocking
4:13 am
traffic on yorktown boulevard some residents feel threatened as they walk out their door turkey might be the centerpiece of the traditional thanksgiving dinner table but p. cand pie is almost just as important too bad this year they're coming from china even a loving embrace could now be off limits next time think twice before hugging your daughter reminder she doesn't owe anyone a hug not even at the holidays they could without you even realizing it also the time when you daughter gets their own idea of all is concerned and physical affection and the beef gravy on top family chats going around the table and naming what we're thankful for is a great springboard into small talk but with our political climate nowadays it's no doubt a slippery slope into dinner table debates good thing we've got a former state department official to tell us what to do like every family we have people of all political stripes and somehow my loving family members find
4:14 am
a way to keep a lid on it at family gatherings that has probably been the saving grace i will be tapping into the common power of a cocktail i would advice others to do the same thanksgiving is having a tough time finding its place in our new wolk world who knows if we'll even have anything left to celebrate i've never thought about turkeys but they're raised for this purpose they're bred for that purpose my family is a little bit divided religiously but we usually put our differences aside despite the differences that people may have you know they come together and they say what they're thankful for you know with the other aspect of it you know the native americans. take that down as history however in the present day modern time should be no. you know follow along the traditions of thanksgiving i can understand for some people maybe they don't feel the need to celebrate it but everyone so people

4:16 am
and try to speak to him because he had been in concho. troubles with how rich kerry . so yeah we're down to speak to him but he didn't want to talk to me because there was some press that would be trying to speak to mr rudd for a long time for us to do is call me the new green nosed. orders to do is get in touch with us and we can arrange a meeting you have one there is so we've been asking since the start and we haven't had any support from the u.k. government really i had one meeting with mr brough which wasn't very such a structure at 1st as a family and a lover and now there has been no contact with the right we feel as a family that. they're more concerned with helping. the american citizen. accused of killing us and then how do you know british citizens that live in the country. the u.k.'s foreign office says it's providing all necessary help to seek
4:17 am
a resolution to this case but the dunn family told us more must be done for justice to happen. probably we want sounds to us to come back to you can be charged through our courts for the crimes she has committed and i think step show punishment for us that is what we're after a 100 percent also we're going to try and help the government's only countries look diplomatic immunity at all because it says say rather than. the spouse of an american worker can. a 19 year old out and out who needs a coach your immunity there i think the laws need to be updated to be more concurrent with the why the songs we live in we feel. this injustice. with a young lad just 19 years old starting to enjoy his life i think and it will take
4:18 am

4:19 am
president. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spear in dramatic development only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the program china's some of the u.s. ambassador off the trump sign to controversial bills in support of the hong kong
4:20 am
protesters beijing says it amounts to interference and threaten the u.s. with consequences. this is a serious interference in hong kong affairs which are china's internal affairs it is also in violation of international law and basic norms governing international relations the 2 bills will send the wrong message to the demonstrators and it will not help ease the situation in hong kong. now the hong kong human rights and democracy act opens up sanctions for human rights violations it also makes it easier for a rested protesters to obtain u.s. visas it also requires an annual review of the region's special trade status and hong kong will qualify only if it's got enough autonomy from beijing now this could pose a threat of course to the city's position as the global financial center now with hong kong special status is revoked this would be subject to the same sanctions imposed by the u.s. on mainland china the same goes for trade tariffs and banking restrictions as well
4:21 am
to limit schools who placed on sensitive technology sold to hong kong now hong kong's economy is already suffering as a result of the violent protests companies and investors are setting their sights on more stable places like singapore tourists are also staying away we discuss the situation with antiwar activists sara flounders and professor of project political science at hong kong university joseph shane is probably has strong moment in the chinese authorities are concerned. donald trump ministrations views of human rights issues was to exert pressure on china starting. now in hong kong and so on the chinese leadership is also concerned with the strong kenyan support for human rights issues in china including the crisis in hong kong
4:22 am
aid me in the coming presidential you know action can be done a lot from him in decision will come oh come on pleasing. new united states and this luis is trying to stir them and. what is c aim of this sanctions it really is an effort to totally sabotage hong kong demonstrators they're not demanding democracy imagine they're demanding sanctions on their own city sanctions everywhere in the world it's economic warfare and it's strangulation why on earth would anyone in hong kong make a demand that sanctions be passed on hong kong there is an inch and they may not be aware these are young people without a future. and that's because of what has been imposed on them from the. iranian called sort of in the southern part of iraq has been set on fire group of

environment we heard from some locals. i was in my room when the windows open in the series i turned around the window with a little boring gentle examples for now from the sky oh boy the big boy. little boys that size. i was in the most sound sleep i probably have gotten in the last 2 or 3 weeks. it didn't last long when i am out of the porch watching far above my houses over there and it it was at an angle about like the image it's quite large we're just really unsure of what's going on. at this point we're worried about their body. you know just trying to play it safe well as bought heading away just a few of its time the back with the latest news rundown in 30 minutes time see that .

4:27 am
i do believe them laugh and smile and i see it's a nice little once they hold facial expression changed has. been you know. much of a powerful and strong the stone and then you have the record and what we have done is to try and identify something coming in the brain where the extension of the ripples corresponds to the depths of your consciousness.
4:28 am
and on that welcome to worlds apart the u.s. house of representatives may have wrapped up. in hearings that gets president trump but it's certainly not done with trying to oust him there already plans for new impeachment proceedings in connection with didn't. reports and possibly dotson's of leads trumps opponents hope to leverage is that a viable strategy against the 45th president of the united states or is it playing directly into his hands to discuss that i'm now joined by edward. president of the world russia forum and the frequent commentator on the u.s. russia relations. it's good to talk to you think you very much for your time mark potter now. we russians are no strangers to acrimony and we think we know that americans while but i have to say i'm constantly surprised sometimes even shocked at what i see play out in the american politics the fact that
4:29 am
a simple phone call between 2 halves of state and a pretty big now phone call a dive could trigger impeachment proceedings that's pretty mind boggling to me is it the same to you absolutely and to not only to me actually it was congressman steve scully's. a republican that compared to what's what's going on. is reminding him you're ceasar. i slightly disagree with him because in the u.s.s.r. . and all leaders were saying something no one believed a single wart and actually people who said it also didn't believe what they were saying but not how you see that half of the country believe it just. people see those things they don't believe it so it's not exactly a ceasar but there's some resemblance well it's not exactly the euro ceasar but i
4:30 am
think the bill of all of ideological influence on the policies is chai king and i think what is absolutely shocking to me for example is that the fact that people would use so much time so much added you so much resources on deliberating something that has very little bearing on the lives of ordinary americans do you feel that do you feel that frustration among the ordinary people in the united states because within the euro ceasar people definitely were very much a nerd by the fact that most of the ideological debates have very very little bearing on how they leave well the good thing is. that half of the country or you probably even a little more because according to their recent polls for just 7 percent or believes that. good u.s. russia relations are good for america.
