cocktail if you wish. a final result from the iowa democratic primary are still remains unclear despite all the results now being in party officials have spent the week trying to verify the long delayed figures that following a technical glitch and many are questioning how the chaos was allowed to happen much to me to the amusement of donald trump the democrats don't know what the hell they're doing i. am taking care of simple votes but they want to fix your health care system. oh and questions are raised any election results in the us best thing followed by pledges that will be thought it quickly but it's kind of more than explains when it happens in other countries washington's reaction can be very different. often the way we interpret events can be very subjective if something happens to someone else
7:05 pm
we see it one way but it happens to us we see it very differently let's compare the electoral confusion in bolivia last october to the electoral confusion in the us state of iowa last week in both situations an election took place and the results were delayed and then authorities said that some irregularities have happened throughout the collection of records over results the i would democratic party identified in consistencies in the data and used the redundant paper records to probably correct those errors there was intentional manipulation and serious irregularities the make it impossible to validate the results originally issued by the bolivian electoral foresees in both instances the public spoke up and cried foul folks i don't know what is going on with the iowa democratic party and the slow trickle of results how many of the counties are having their results foolishly reported by the i.d.p. every county needs to release the results now now iowa caucus was rigged by mayor
7:06 pm
cheap eat pasta don't. you know. and in both instances the authorities agreed and said that the concerns had to be addressed what happened in iowa was unacceptable and the party chair has acknowledged that he's apologized for that and we have worked together over the last few days to fix the challenges and to see the i have decided 1st to replace every member of the supremum like total tribunal and 2nd to hold national elections to allow the bolivian people to democratically elect a new government with a new political activists except the similarities stop here in iowa a recount is being conducted to make sure the ultimate results are correct and in bolivia the military toppled the government and a woman who wasn't even a candidate in the election has declared herself to be the new leader. i see in the presidency with the middle of the fact in line with the constitution and pres to
7:07 pm
take all measures necessary to bring peace to the country. while many have declared what happened in bolivia to be a military coup the u.s. secretary of state branded it as a transition to democracy we recognize the importance of believe us political transition to democracy in our hemisphere and we admired the believe in people for standing up for their constitution their democracy and for free fair and transparent elections after morale is flat things have been pretty messy in bolivia and that's why my resigning so that my opponents do not continue to persecute more socialist brothers. i'm wondering if the organization of american states as they were said in an election i want you to figure out what's what's going on where you know it's clear that in the case of bolivia you need
7:08 pm
a clean of the electoral discrepancies to justify any campaign to demonize this and then ultimately to overthrow him the reason why they are against. him just because he pursued policies that were of objecting to us domination of the region so the difference is that in the case of in the case of iwo the presumption is it's just a technical problem or you know there's nothing sort of sinister going on whereas in the case of the government that's all sided with washington and also i was on or why it's a different standard so if a u.s. state has some electoral confusion we'll look into the matter and get it straightened out however if a socialist government that is friendly to russia and china has a mix up at the polls it's time to reduce the country to care. kaleb happen r.t. new york. the president of the philippines has threatens to rip up

3rd is really angry at the united states not only because of the travel ban or the restriction imposed on these allies but there are concerns that the united states might actually move forward with the priest and other kinds of sanctions against the president himself down the road especially when he's out of the power he's going to step down for anybody to so i think there was some complacency on the part of united states vs they is indeed taken out that means the end all significant amount of american military the developments which amounted to $1800000000.00 or possibly a case and it's going to make it very difficult for them arrogance operationalized because of the if they the software that allows for the operationalization of the hardware of the line and you get like that you want. the u.k. u.k. has refused to extradite a couple accused of a ranging them of their adult to the sun and india as the stocks to host the story . the old saying goes that no one is above the law but it seems that some people

7:12 pm
a station that means the package faces sentence of life without parole if convicted of double murder in the country which the united kingdom says would breach their human rights i find that there are substantial grounds for believing that they would face a real risk of being subjected to treatment like a review of a life sentence which would be inhuman and degrading this would be a breach of article 3 the court's decision falls within the european convention on human rights but the ruling is raising concerns here in britain do we really want suspected child killers roaming the streets of london this is an absolutely crime and i think many people would agree there needs to be the harshest of sentences if they are found guilty it is up to the indian legal system to decide on the appropriate penalty and we should not be standing in the way of justice being served for the victims but the decision to keep criminals here in the u.k. raises alarm bells as the concept of human rights even for those abusing them seems to provide a quick get out of jail free card the fact is here justice has been denied. to the indian people the process of
7:13 pm
a trial has been prevented because of the european human rights legislation when we're saying that they can't even stand trial because the possibility that they will receive what is called an irreducible life sentence in india means that the possible sentence violates their human rights what the british government is saying is that there is no assurance in place that these 2 people will not be treated in the same way as they would have been had they been arrested in india what we are saying to the indian government and to the good right to authorities is that your criminal justice system simply isn't good enough to try our citizens for was an incredibly serious offense indian people cannot hold people to account under the terms of the justice system without the european and british courts saying you're justice isn't isn't good enough i think these cases show is that actually what it does is it creates a difference in treatment between european citizens and the rest of the world. bank regulators have issued our pull with a 25000000 euro fine or deliberately slowing down older versions of the i phone the

7:15 pm
mears believes our poll will be more concerned by the bad p.r. than the fine. i think the main damage to apple in this particular instance was a damage to its reputation when this story 1st came out back in 2017 and there was that quote apple fall ball going to find that is equivalent to only about 55000000000 of revenue for the for these fines are not actually going to make a great deal of difference what we need to do is to ensure that there are laws put in place such as the right laws are coming through that help people who actually have to upgrade their phones have to replace components and hopefully that'll mean at the end of the day we're all getting better value i would like to see the battery prices going down i'd like to see it would rise. but this is a complex of markets and in our jobs that royce biegler willing to break then that's the state of the market. or try is ongoing in spain against a private security firm accused of spying on wiki leaks founder julian assange arms
