i believe in t.v. operator says it's going to take part in spanish. and it's not just the media that's by the government. according to libya's former vice president you know he's a maverick she just to create terror in the country 2 people have been killed and there was no investigation trade union leaders are hounded either way next on in hiding. a rally in the french capital to raise awareness of violence against women is it marred by violence as one a feminist group with or not we talked to one of the women who took part. i was in the rage we went to this demonstration because we wanted to defend women's rights

the violence against women the protest raises questions a demonstration with the slogan all of us turns out not to be for all of us if. the president of the russian olympic committee insists his country will keep preparing for the 2020 games in tokyo despite a new. sports body. 247 live from the russian capital there says. this is your news welcome to the program . and starting us off all t. spanish will be taken off in bolivia at the start of december according to the country's leading private t.v. operator it comes amid a violent political crisis in the country during which an unelected government assumed power that's headed by right wing senator. she's accused of suppressing the

media and supporters of ousted president is trying to discuss the story with my colleague nick e r. well no specific reasons were provided and the bolivian t.v. operator code 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 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 swan and 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 door government and also the opposition leader who's self-proclaimed president there and in venezuela well what he is also did was she recognized mr glyde bill as the head of an as well as well i hope will and that you have 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. alfred gosselin america who resigned as bolivian vice president just minutes after moron a step down talked about the people now in charge and their crackdown on the media . you know was that 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 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 the country no longer has free speech or a free press. but that 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 the quality nonintervention our internal affairs i hope the 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 next on hiding mass media are gaggle threatened with accusations of subversive activity or sedition and it's difficult to engage in peaceful resistance against this regime it's hard to say how long this reign of terror will last how long people will tolerate it it depends on how events unfold over the next few

weeks. we also got reaction from chuck health where his father the alliance for global justice peace as the new government in bolivia is trying to stifle critical coverage could government bolivia struggling. stablish its. there is. they can't they can't afford for people to hear. voices to the. news that they want the message that they want to get get out there because they have to have control of the message. people can. if people have free access to information they're going to see that other people or country. are suffering the way that they are so they're going to know that the reason for the suffering is this military coup is the sole legitimate government that is

composed and the resistance will continue and grow. a rally to raise awareness of violence against women empower us and saturday was marred by clashes. i. said for women from a feminist group called nemesis collective joined the march they were holding park called saying that 52 percent of racist rapists are immigrants a figure taken from a $24000.00 sauvé the movement criticizes locks migration policies and france saying that women suffer as a result some of the demonstrators didn't like that presence and started booing and tearing up. a video from the march 1 nun led to

a wave of online threats against the numbers the activists they were branded fascists out of focus and racists the group later released a statement saying all the feminists want to silence them we talked to one of the number says activists who lost us to distort have voices to hide her identity. we arrived at the demonstration with our plaque cards and started to protest and within minutes other demonstrators saw a massive placards it was clearly to quickly we wanted to cross in a calm way now we are freed we know that our message is 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 at all since we have been treated like fascists i'm asking what is the basis for this do this women know the definition of fascism 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 other women another nemesis activist we spoke to told us that rapists of michael origin are not prosecuted enough she also asked to remain anonymous. i was in the rage 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 trash it's it just shows that they attack themselves it is a real problem that in france a woman cannot go out on the street where she wants because of migrants when i am on the street i'm often harassed by men and their nationality is obvious rapists of migrant origin is not prosecuted enough we need to tell the world that everyone should be punished regardless of this skin color there are several types of threats that we get on social media were accused of fascism and braces and these people

from the far left did not want to accept the reality they want to prevent us from speaking up. for a light a story the us president donald trump has pardoned turkey is saving them from being served up for thanksgiving the lucky bread and butter and the pardons are part of a 30 year old white house tradition also use the occasion to crack some jokes about impeachment but while the president might be enjoying himself the u.s. media has cost me a light on the whole thanksgiving holiday parties and don't of course explains. what i say thanksgiving what's the 1st thing that comes to mind turkey can i warm hugs with seldom seen relatives where you can forget all that this year thanksgiving is cancelled 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 year if your turkey more than $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 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 even realizing it also be a 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 them on your call up and say paris amid heightened tensions within the alliance that story imo up to the break. much of a powerful and strong a stone then you have to recall and what we have done is to try and identify something happening in the brain where the explosion of the ripples corresponds to

that of your consciousness. you know world a big part of a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter 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 truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

welcome back nato secretary general is set to meet with him at the end is a paris thoughts off to the french president caused a stir in the alliance by calling it quote. yet installed bugs said he's ready to walk 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 mark wrong 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 i'm an old 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 and you would see if the government or

of last resort functions as you're 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 and the european powerhouse another european powerhouse germany in the face of its chancellor angela merkel have also had a problem with mccrone being so vocal and being so well. just being so vocal about this thing i say it's an our interest to preserve nato 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 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. was. created. to cement. founded is unknown and then to the design movement of certain countries to be honest. we don't really know whether they do not general good no i don't know at all achievement. 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 the us was always down i don't know she needed the nato was historically beneficial for us but of course we have a completely different situation now did we 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. china has summoned the u.s. ambassador to donald trump signed 2 controversial bills in support of the hong kong protesters beijing says it amounts to interference and has threatened 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. the hong kong human rights and democracy act opens up sanctions of human rights violations and makes it easier for arrest to protest to obtain u.s. fees it also requires an annual review of the region's special trade status and hong kong will qualify only if it has enough autonomy from beijing this could potentially pose a threat to the city's position as a global financial center if hong kong's special status is revoked it would be subject to the same sanctions imposed by the u.s. on mainland china the same goes for trade tariffs and banking restrictions 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 there how raging for 6 months companies and investors are setting their sights on more stable places such as singapore tourists are also apparently staying away we discuss the situation with antiwar activist sara flounders and professor of political science at hong kong city university joseph chang. this probably has a strong bond in the chinese authorities are concerned. with the donald trump administration's use of human rights issues to exert pressure on turning up starting. now in hong kong and so on eternity's leadership is also consistent with the strong opinion support for human rights issues in turning up including the crisis in hong kong he believes in the

coming presidential year actually can he be done from a ministry she will come on come on in pleasing great feeling in the united states and this luis is trying to steer them in what is c aim of this sanctions well 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 this 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.

and finally for this hour a local faction of germany's a f t party says it's being isolated by politicians from all the parties marcus wagner says members of alternative for germany often denied even such simple courtesies as a hunch ache. are the local parliament factions warned the more embittered radical and unelectable by constant blame defamation and marginalization . according to the f.t. other parties in the region have jointly introduced about 44 proposals into the local parliament that's since 2017 all of them without the f.t.'s participation a member of the party was also tonight the vice chair position in the parliament of north rhine-westphalia however while the majority of parties that decided to cut all the contacts with the f.t. some think that good manners should never be forgotten the f.t. is a political opponent which we must contest well solving the country's problems this

is what we do for example with our 0 tolerance policy internal security to turn a greeting is not a proof of political closeness just good manners the f.t. currently holds around 8 percent of the seats in the parliament of north rhine-westphalia and this is the 1st time being elected that we talked to their foreign policy spokesman in the punta stark boston he says that he's also experienced discrimination at work. well this is not nothing's surprising especially not i must find because not an us foreign a solution only led by by socialists and the left is very strong there. and we are a press position party everywhere and want to start there are plenty of the communist party and of the left but the they are also not giving me that but the

now this is this is the next step if you think about that. you are the youngest and most successful party in the german history and this is connected to the losses of the all 'd the stablish partisan especially the social democrats are they they are really feeling fear and they defeat seeing everywhere where it is possible. the next hour the president of the russian then pick committee insists his country will keep preparing for the 2020 games in tokyo despite a looming possible for more on this on all the stories check out our website. young elephants have come to us. especially brutal budging incidents because sadly

the baby elephants often do see their mother as need be killed but also be caught up unfortunate. i do believe and laugh and smile i see it in these little ones the home they show the expression changes. the u.s. house of representatives has wrapped up its 1st round of impeachment hearings against president trump but it's not done with trying to oust him with new impeachment proceedings ahead is impeachment of viable strategy against the president. what politicians do usually do to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. that you'd like to be close this is what the $43.00 of them or 10 people that. i'm interested always in the waters of college. there should. q live. live live. live live. live live.

this is. actually who has. the most. going to the store and. everything out. like.

you did i know that. we were happy. to hear. shots came from over there. soon after the murder of my daughter jenna says jim you're more turn himself in front of him so. jeffrey either be awful suffering of self. for an accomplice. and mercy anthony was picked up about a month and a half after all of that and he was picked up on gun charges that were linked to the murder. one i'm sure. that i. don't know. why he. didn't you know i've been known to.
