next person changes. i believe t.v. operator says it's been ordered to take. the media that's being struck down by the self-appointed government of. according to bolivia's former vice president. how are you going to have achieved just to create terror in the country 2 people have been killed and there was no investigation or trade union leaders are hounded there either we next on live in hiding in a. rally in the french capital to raise awareness of violence against women is itself marred by violence one 3rd one is through clashes with another one of the women who took part. i was in the rage we went to this demonstration because we wanted to the crime and women's rights the violence against women the protest

raises questions and demonstration with the slogan all of france turns out not to be for all of us are doing. a terrible time to be a turkey thanksgiving unless of course you're one of the 2 pardoned by u.s. president trump last part of an annual white house tradition. alive from moscow just one here in the capital hawkins welcome to the program. 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 assumed power is headed by a right wing senator joining us she's accused of suppressing the media and supporters of ousted president evo morales. discussed the story with my colleague

nick e r. well no 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 leave 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 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

. 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

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 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 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 legislature in 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

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. of it to go see a live man or a resigned as but even a vice president just minutes off the more honest talk to us about the people now in charge and the 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 started knowing how can you say that to journalists 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 we could no longer has free speech or a free press. but better one source look at this insidious craze this 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 american government needs to have relations with every part of the world which we also have to build relations based on mutual respect we call a sea nonintervention in our internal affairs i hope that bolivia 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 their necks on hiding mass media our guy girl threatened with accusations of subversive activity or sedition it is difficult to engage in peaceful resistance against this regime is hard to say how long this reign of terror will last how long people will tolerate it depends on how events unfold over the next few weeks or more you know the shock of one from the alliance for global justice says the new

government in bolivia is trying to stifle critical media coverage. could government and bolivia struggling to establish itself against. resistance. they kept they can't afford for people to hear alternative voices to the. news that they want the message that they want to get. get out there because you have to control the message. people can. if people have free access to information they're going to see the other people who are country or are suffering the way that they are so they're going to know that the reason for the for in. the military coup the sole legitimate government that. composed the resistance will continue

and grow. and rallied to raise awareness of violence against women in paris on saturday was mobbed by clashes. i. and several women from a feminist group called nemesis collective joined the march they were holding placards saying that 52 percent of rapists are immigrants that's a figure taken from a $24000.00 survey movement criticizes lacks migration policies in france saying that women suffer as a result some of the other demonstrators didn't like their presence though they started booing and tearing up their black hearts. 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 replacer released a statement saying other feminists want to silence them and we spoke to one of the nemesis activists who asked us to distort her voice to hide her identity.

we arrived at the demonstration with our plaque cards and started to protest and within minutes other demonstrate your saw a mass of cards it just collated quickly we wanted to cross in a calm way now we have prayed we know that our masses 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 have 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 will say that they represent are the women. all over nervous activists we spoke to told us the rapists of moderate origin all prosecuted enough she also asked to remain anonymous. i was in the range

we went to this demonstration because we wanted to defend women's rights we think not enough we said on the subject of migration and when they attacked us like we were precious it just shows that the attack themselves it is a real problem that in france a woman cannot go out on the streets where she wants because of migrants when i am on the street i'm often harassed by men and their nationalities and rapists of migrant origin is not prosecuted in our 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 has pardoned 2 turkeys saving them from being served up for thanksgiving like you've called bread and butter of the pardons are part of a 30 year old. tradition

a trump also used the occasion to crack some jokes about impeachment but while the president might be enjoying himself the u.s. media's cost the gloomier light on the whole thing one of the automotive of the quarter explains. 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 involves 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 year if you're a turkey more than $45000000.00 of these fascinating birds are 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 photos show how the 20 plus pound birds can be dangerous blocking 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 balance concerns 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

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 on 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 i am not everyone so

people can do it makes them comfortable. nato secretary general is set to meet with a man old say potus that saw for the french president caused quite a stir in the alliance by calling bring that to work said he's ready to work out any differences. i always believe the best way to deal with any difference of opinion is to sit down and talk about it and that's what i will do with president mccrone. let's go live now to paris and our egos down of good to see you go just. talking about differences of opinion what are exactly the main sources of disagreement of friction within nato. well down trust 2 me this meeting is going to be anything but a walk in the park for both sides and mark my words while there will be plenty of smiles and handshakes this will be just a facade to a much deeper division going on because among all mccrone is i should say the most

vocal nato dissident out there for instance recently as you've already mentioned he said this and caused massive outrage within the alliance. what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nato nato only works if the guarantor of last resort functions as. you know also trust me these comments about the need to being brain dead they didn't sit well with all the adults of the alliance i should say the man who's coming to paris himself today young stoltenberg the secretary general of the block he has repeatedly criticized this and has emphasized that he believes that nato is crucial to the european security other nations of also criticize the french leader under the european powerhouse another european powerhouse germany in the face of its chancellor angela merkel of also had a problem with mccrone being so vocal and being so well. just being so vocal about

this thing. that i say it's an our interest to preserve need to know more than during the cold war or at least as much as during the cold war. and this is not the 1st time that the french president got on the wrong side of the block because apart from the idea of nato being brain brain dead he has other ideas too for instance he has been putting forward the idea and he has been promoting the idea of creating this so-called european the e.u. army and he's hinted that that army could potentially be the real source of security and military stability for europe while quite possibly instead of nato and oh well i talked here in france with some of the french citizens and my colleagues in germany did the same and i tried to find out whether or not the europeans realize how important nato for them is. or. was afraid of. the treatment. found it is unknown and then to the design movement of

certain countries. we don't really know whether they do not know i don't know at all achievements. i think it was necessary after the ball. but nowadays. it's not important anymore i think basically. no war the last. 60 years 70 years i don't know to be honest i don't know since the eastern part of course was always down i don't know she needed to nato was historically beneficial for us but of course we have a completely different situation now. so you've heard some german citizens saying that nowadays nato is quite irrelevant compared to when it when it was the time of

the cold war for instance and that in turn goes in stark contrast with the position of the leader of chancellor angela merkel because recently she has emphasized that nato is as important if not more important than the times of the cold war but well anyways it will be interesting to see how emanuel mccrone and young stoltenberg will be able if they will be able to overcome their differences today so we'll stay here and see all right he was one of the live from paris thanks for those updates. china threatens the u.s. with consequences after donald trump signs controversial bills in support of hong kong's anti painting protesters that story and more still to come.

you know one of the same to talk about on this show if you read the financial press about the latest scandal it's just a new name for a recurring scandal like there's only 3 or 4 ways you can rip people off changes is the name they call to rip people off. 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. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to do and. so join us in the.

forum made in the shallows. program and shine as some in the u.s. ambassador offer donald trump signed 2 controversial bills in support of the hong kong protesters beijing says it amounts to interference and threaten to us 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. well hong kong human rights and democracy act opens up sanctions for human rights violations it also makes it easier for those who've been arrested the protesters to get the 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 but this could of course pose a threat to the city's position as a global financial center if special status is revoked it would be subject to the same sanctions imposed by the us on mainland china the same goes for trade tariffs and banking with frictions limits could also be placed on sensitive technology sold to hong kong hong kong's economy is already suffering as a result of the violent protests that have been raging for 6 months companies and investors are setting their sights on more stable places like singapore tourists are also staying away we discussed the situation with antiwar activist sara flounders and professor of political science at hong kong city university joseph chang. is probably has a 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. believe in the coming presidential you know action can be done a lot from him in decision will come up 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 is 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 west. the radian consulate in the southern part of iraq has been set on fire group of protesters it's the 2nd time one of their arms diplomatic facilities has been attacked in the country over the last month one person was reportedly killed with 35 injured protesters then else the rons alleged meddling in iraq you affairs riaz attack comes amid widespread anti-government protests in iraq which of claimed some 300 lives. a chemical plant in southeast texas has been hit by a 2nd explosion the moment of the blast was caught on camera.

world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know one of us names we talked about on the show if you read the financial press about the latest scandal it's just a new name for a recurring scale like there's only 3 or 4 ways you could rip people off though as it changes is the name that you call to rip people off more on this now with stacy well we're going to talk about the for ever war as we have the forever war that is the global war on terror and the extreme costs from that and we have the forever war against the black hole of debt that is consuming the global economy and it's been consuming the global economy essentially since 2000 but especially 20082009

we're throwing more and more and more and more of our wealth and our assets and our future into this hole and it's costing us forever more but 1st we're going to start with the context the an allergy to provide us with an understanding of this financial work because the finance stuff is harder most people think to understand but they they understand good old fashioned war you know you invade a country shoot them and you kill the people and you won and you take their resources and you want well forever war in the last 20 years cost $6.00 trillion dollars since $911.00 the cost of forever war total $6.00 trillion and $800.00 or $1000.00 killed including 335000 dead billions for what asked miss shedd luck so he's looking at that brown and boston university joint study from 2 professors at those locations who are looking at the actual costs of war and you know it's always been put between somewhere between 2 and 6 trillion and here these 2 professors they really dug down into some of the data and they said why people were confused

about what the cost was was that $1.00 potential barrier for civilians to understanding the total scale and cost of the post 911 wars is the changes in the naming of the war is the u.s. military. doesn't gates mean war zones in afghanistan pakistan iraq and syria as named operations the longest war so far in afghanistan and pakistan has had 2 names operation enduring freedom designated the 1st phase of war in afghanistan from october 2001 it was designated operation freedom's sentinel on the 1st generate 2015 the war in iraq was designated operation iraqi freedom from march 2003 to 31st of august 2010 when it became operation new dawn when the u.s. began to fight in syria and iraq the war was designated an operation and her resolve for ease of understanding the costs are not labeled here by the designation but by major war zone so they keep on changing the name of the war right well we know from social.
