They have carried out a coup detat against those as of last night we are living like a dictatorship times they are hunting our leaders they are hunting its very likely that they will see me and want my head that is one of the divisions are caused by reset they persecute us as bolivia and its those from they discriminate against us because we come from alto in the past they discriminate against those who wear skirts and we want to allow it and on tuesday bolivian senator jenny declared herself interim president of bolivia and was sworn in by her allies arties done a quarter has more of the story. A new force has seized bolivias political reigns her name is janine is and shes just declared herself interim president but if you did as president of the senate i immediately take on the state presidency for scene in the constitution and i swear to undertake all the measures necessary to bring peace to the country on us has long been a critic of her socialist predecessor of all more alice who was forced to resign several days ago after the army dropped its support she evoked the constitution to justify getting the top job and is called for new elections but i guess herself wasnt actually elected she was just next in line after the president Vice President and head of the senate all relinquished their posts even the legislature itself didnt really elect her because morales supporters boycotted that session now the real people who put her in power there are a colorful bunch meet mr camacho he was part of a gang that wasted little time ransacking moraless former home. But these trespassers werent just a bunch of thieves they were searching for a more spiritual experience heres camacho and his buddies praying with a bible after breaking into the house one of their supporters praised it as christs return to the bolivian government the bible is returning to the government powerless never again will the pouch of mama goodness return today christ is returning to the government powerless to live is for christ but you dont see that 2nd coming but then again come on shows long had a unique take on the lords work he spent years leaving a religious fundamentalist Organization Called the Santa Cruz Youth Union aside from its reputation for p. T. Its also a purveyor of right wing ideology how far to the right well it doesnt get much for. Other than this you. Get. A sizable number of the oppositions activists may be a bit unhinged but its the political arm that is far more presentable carlos mesa was president before moralists and lost another election to him in october the think tank interamerican dialogue lists him as an expert on its website its d. C. Based and u. S. Government funded but may says connections to washington run far deeper than that according to wiki leaks he was corresponding with the u. S. Embassy in bolivia for years discussing the details of his political strategy no less in a meeting with the charge on october the 27th messam all but acknowledged that ever would win his constitution in january and that there was little point in taken the quick zadok of trying to defeat it of course that makes the white house pretty happy the resignation yesterday of bolivian president evo morales is a significant moment for democracy in the western hemisphere these events send a strong signal to the illegitimate regimes in venezuela nicaragua the democracy and the will of the people will always prevail but the situation on the ground is becoming increasingly unstable especially now that the military isnt being 100 percent cooperative right now. As then you have refused to coordinate with the National Police or you are saying the military is being overtaken by criminal records which are just entering the capital as a bolivian do your job we do not want more you will be responsible for everything that happens if after my order which i make as president i stand it for the crimes john and it will be your responsibility on his may have gotten to the top sticking to the letter of the law but its going to take a lot more than that if she wants to patch up latin americas latest political vacuum. Has absolutely no right to. To clear her so president this is another oh so brooklyn model just like why oh so we are seeing a replaying what occurred in that as well of course to the delight of trump in washington into one of their stooges in power no question this is a coup because. It will more out of this war and 47 percent of the electoral vote or 600000. 00 or 10 percent more they may say but of course another term for it will be to the detriment of the chance of actually companies. The proponents of meal the bill and so they staged its last the military coup. Their keep they still come up to us in years into our so ready that they. Resume control of. The annual summit of the worlds 5 major emerging economies is now taking place in brazil the leaders of russia india china and south africa and brazil are add to the event the brics a group represents more than 3000000000 people worldwide and seeks to develop economic and political cooperation. The summit has also been marred by protests supporters of venezuelan Opposition Leader won quite overly or stormed their countrys embassy in brasilia heart hes more if national has more. Im admin as well embassy here in the city of brazil here in dayton i can tell you that the situation here on the ground is quite warm rain just a while ago there was a fight between the supporters of it as well as legitimate president Nicolas Maduro and those who own the site of the countrys selfproclaimed leader of one why dont and before that some of hes supposed to manage to storm the building and get inside and right now we are receiving contradictory reports on who is in fact in charge of the embassy right now and the most interesting and important thing is that the local Police Although there are many officers here on the ground looting military Police Special forces but basically they have no alternative theory because officially resume recognizes mr quite door as been as well as legitimate leader and therefore supporters he supporters here and this is by the way the Biggest Challenges for brics countries and a big division for us for them as their positions on whats going on in caracas differ so much. Brazil has just issued a note recognizing one why do as venezuelan president. The beautiful position leader mr goh i dont came to a square raceys eyes to heaven and appealing to go to declared himself the president ok but god didnt tell us his response to that appeal therefore i think we need to come back to us and be guided by democratic procedures and rules to try to firmly oppose the principle of noninterference in the Eternal Affairs of other countries and maintains that the affairs of venezuela must be chosen and decided by its people the brazilian president mr ball Sonora Police said on his Facebook Page that he does not support the storm of the embassy here and he hopes that the situation on the ground will get back to normal so we make spec that these will be hailed soon but this news that but israel is not the only one believe their resignation of lactic president there is seen by some. Breeks Member States has officially get to most democratic given prices while others including russia say this is simply quit a ton so these both topics hot topics are expected to be discussed by brinks later today well keep you updated but all in all i have to say that made me that despite all those disagreements between brazil russia china india and south africa all in all the influence of this International Group is for the growth we need to speak i mean even more at a time when we notice a decline in hall so many ah there are International Groups of such kind take for example apec its recent summit was cancelled last minute due to situation in chile understandably but we did not hear any information about new day old location set up no one is talking about that right now. As the on leaders instead of going to the meetings prefer to send their foreign minister is an even g 7 last time was not able to agree on anything and issue at joint communique so in this situation some say that brinks is rising and growing and probably weaning quest for a bigger role in global Decision Making and we expect many interesting meetings and comments later on when state. The leaders of turkey and the u. S. Have given a joint News Conference after their meeting at the white house a key focus was on the recent Turkish Operation against the u. S. Backed Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria which went ahead despite warnings from washington. Weve had a great relationship with the kurds and we fought with them very successfully against isis we fought together we had we had great generals and we have great equipment and it certainly helped a lot but we were very very successful is that we have to make a distinction between 2 things we have no. Problem with the codes we have a problem with kodesh terrorist organization. Now turkey and the United States have had their ongoing sticking points of disagreement regarding issues like the kurds syria the arms trade and relations with russia now the United States has long maintained that it is capable of having a relationship with both turkey and with Kurdish Forces in syria however that balancing act hasnt always worked out so well as a point of reference you can look at the letter that trump sent to the turkish president in that letter he addressed the turkish president told arrow on quote dont be a tough guy dont be a fool when urging him not to continue his offensive against kurdish positions in syria now that letter was actually returned to donald trump by the turkish head of state today perhaps indicating that he paid no attention to it now another point of ongoing disagreement has been the issue of the s. 400 Missile System that turkey is in the process of purchasing from russia donald trump in the United States and made clear they dont find it acceptable for a member of nato to get closer to russia and to purchase military hardware from them that trump said this issue has not been resolved the issue regarding the s 100 missiles has not been resolved and that it is holding up the resolution of other disagreements between the countries turkeys acquisition of sophisticated Russian Military equipment such as the s 400 creates some very serious challenges for us then we are talking about it constantly we talked about it today were talking about it in the future hopefully will be able to resolve that situation now turkey has been trying to have it both ways they are a member of nato an ally of the United States but they also have a strong relationship with russia and after Washington Air on is scheduled to have a phone call with russian president Vladimir Putin something that washington is certainly not pleased down now. Even today however donald trump emphasized that he never really has any doubts about the friendship between turkey and the United States the president and i have been weve been very good friends weve been friends for a long time almost from day one now this crucial meeting between the turkish head of state and the president of the United States took place at a time when the opening impeachment hearings against donald trump were taking place these republik hearings regarding the issue of impeaching u. S. President donald trump and many of the questions during the press conference were not related to turkey u. S. Relations but rather focused on those ongoing impeachment hearings now the world will be left to wonder if the United States and turkey will be able to mend their relationship as the disagreements between the 2 countries seem to be rather numerous earlier we heard from max abrams associate professor of Public Policy at Northeastern University he believes the u. S. Is unlikely to make any concessions to turkey on syria. Certainly. Is not going to reverse himself in terms of the fact we have seemed to turkish involvement in jordan syria turkey is a step i think that there will be some strong pressure on her long to rein in the rebel forces that hes using because those are sort of fierce fighting proxy militia agents only growing who are most with fonts of all forms. Of talks sort of go the crushers neighborhood phone but you know i mean you know we can hardly you know may be very curious that the press conference is actually going on concurrently and of course the president is going to try and say that something important wasnt she i think trump is going to talk about the possibly only follow the increased financial ties business relations between our 2 countries oh but otherwise i dont really see any concrete win out of this meeting. 3 people have been injured while performing at a festival in saudi arabia they were stabbed by a man who rushed onto the stage incident was filmed by a member of the audience and a bit of what he might find the following images disturbing of the 3 victims are in stable condition this according to state media the attacker has been identified as a 33 year old yemeni man who was arrested at the scene the motive is so far unknown. And in recent years how do you arabias monarchy has been gradually loosening some of the countrys strict religious laws the festival is seen as part of those liberalizing of reforms other changes include allowing greater freedom for saudi women and encouraging tourists from abroad with tourist visas recently introduced. Despite those reforms a recent video highlighted the stark difference between saudi and western values it was made by the Security Services and it warned citizens to avoid the dangers of socalled extremism including feminism homosexuality and atheism video has since been polled with the authorities saying it contained mistakes political and social commentator gave us his take on the situation in saudi arabia. I think saudi arabia are going to have to be very realistic and more realistic about this socalled liberalization agenda if youre going to be softening the borders letting people in apparently foreigners can now get a visa within 7 minutes you need to know who youre letting into the country and how theyll be acting how theyll be behaving im not sure they quite ready and it looks like theyre trying to run before they can walk if your heart is a center of consciousness as islam states it is then you have to start within the individual person just having thin veneers of policies where you give the imprimatur of human rights of liberalization of feminism but secretly you have a deep state which is running Counter Culture and against those things and committing massacres and Human Rights Violations overseas as well as domestically theyre going to have to marry these things together it has to be genuine it cant just be in name only and i think saudi arabia is seen often as not the archetype or model for muslim enlightenment in the middle east or around the world and they need to look at more progressive models. Like a quick look around the world to look at some other stories making headlines this hour italian city of venice has been hit by its worst flooding in more than half a century 2 people have reportedly died around 85 percent of the city is now under water and according to the mayor of the citys best known cathedral st marks basilica has sustained a serious damage. Saudis in hong kong have been trying to get a grip on increasing violence after shopping malls University Campuses and metro stations were once again targeted by protesters socalled democracy demonstrators were heavily armed with molotov cocktails javelins and in one case even a chainsaw the city has announced that all schools will be closed on thursday due to safety concerns. The life and work of a coal. Founder of the controversial White Helmets rescue group in syria has come under scrutiny since his recent a definite stumble in fact james. Pedia profile has undergone something of a rewrite admitting anything detrimental to the messiaen was a former British Army Soldier he was recently accused by moscow of being a former agent of m i 6 u. K. s Foreign Intelligence Service and the british media has been quick to point the finger at the kremlin over his death our correspondent of comments now on what lies behind the edited wikipedia page. A tragic death for a man who made a living on tragedy james limits syria spent his life doing what he believed in which was remarkably similar to that what the British Foreign office and nato believe it almost point for point so naturally before anyone even knows how many bones were broken in his body after he fell from his apartment balcony that they dogpile russia its like an evolved limbic system fight flight or blame russia did russia kill white how much founder james the mysterious cofounder of White Helmets found dead days after russia claimed he was a spy limits series crowding achievement was undoubtedly the creation of the White Helmets politically charged rescuers who went to Battle Alongside islamist terrorists even al qaeda is winning in syria called them brothers you know the phrase you want to know how man lived his life look at who his friends were and they were relentless progovernment propagandists bent on censoring everything they dont agree with 133612 edits to wikipedia have been made in the name of philip cross over 14 years thats over 30 edits per day 7 days a week and i do not use that figuratively wiki pedia edits the times and if you plot them the time card for philip crosses wiki pedia activity is astonishing if it is one individual before a day has passed since limits series death his friends began scrubbing his wiki pedia page the history of his life of all controversy white washing his biography philip cross the busy bee that he is really went to town making james as we keep pedia page all nice and pretty you read it now it was a saint the times reported the dilemma syria was the subject of an intense black Propaganda Campaign for you. Years my promise that activists and Russian Diplomats the New York Times reported that the group and there would be syria were the target of unfounded conspiracy theories of course a much more probable explanation is that philip cross is a group of individuals paid to further the interests of the British Government then malign anyone that criticizes it or its policies they have no problem smearing and degrading others yet philip or Phillips Ashar i see theyre fine with doing it to others but talking about them is a no no back in 2018 someone wrote an article about philip cross and for his troubles the article was deleted and the author was banned for life for this philip cross there because considerable effort to editing wiki pedia entries for world known british anti establishment journalists bloggers authors and academics philip cross may be a pseudonym for a group of like minded individuals acting in concert there are reasons teachers tell students never to use wikipedia as a source philip cross is one of those reasons the fact is that wiki pedia is not an Independence Organization its basically been set up by those who are very close links to western Intelligence Services there are attempts to manipulate it and to make it appear that certain things are true that and theyre not and other things are not true when they are philip cross who is a very very strange person in the sense that hes constantly changing wiki pedia articles about controversial figures and he seems to be working round the clock so its looks to me as if hes working some kind of intelligence a service and in any case he might not even be a real individual so one of the problems weve got with dealing with any information like this is that people are out there manipulating information in real time that doesnt from l. B. Back with headlines of top out there with their teenagers. Luck. The head of isis isnt decapitated by value. Of their. Being they have sleeping. Not on the internet iraq but in syria too so we have to deal with this problem back to the long term as was been dubbed and was decapitated but. It was all true so i think the. Organization which have a global out to the. I mentioned are times when were going underground as leaders from brazil russia india china and south africa the brics nations representing off the worlds population meeting brasilia for their 11th annual summit i made a right wing coup against the leader of neighboring bolivia evo morales coming up on the show what else is on the mind of brazilian need a higher ball so narrow is his biggest political rival former president lula is released from prison well ask his defense lawyer and brazils former finance minister what lew this means for the future of brazil and the planet oliseh more coming up in todays going underground but 1st the going underground team a back from damascus arriving before israels reported attack on the syrian capital but aside from a new drain the abstracts in gaza the global south is turning their eyes to latin america not just the super power block of the 21st century brics meeting in brazils capital but the cia backed coup in south americas poorest country bolivia it comes as brazils most popular politician luis enough you alluded to silver has been released from prison they can. Hope the recent victories against neoliberalism in venezuela argentina and mexico about are in a sense in the latin american left joining me now from sao paulo is former president as cody defense counsel lets take Sarah Martins one of the those responsible for taking his case to the u. N. And who has spent the past 4 years championing his case for thats good thanks for coming on the show whats the latest on your client lula. Thank you its an honor to be here in russia today so president lula actually was released from jail on friday he spent 580 days in an illegal imprisonment he should never been incarcerated he was in a solitary confinement he was. Taken to jail and forbidden from running in 2800. 00 alexion which he would have won had he been able to to run as the united nations. Gave an interim to interim measures demanding that brazil allow him to run and to give interviews while in the elections brazil did not comply with its international obligations. And the latest a Supreme Court decision only it restore and its just a small step. Forward and moving in towards the rule of law in brazil i know you took the case to the u. N. You must be a with the president. Of britain and the United States said do not give ammunition to the scoundrel who is momentarily free but full of guilt what did you make of your president saying well obviously he has not read the file he has not studied the cases because we have in all of the procedures over only proved and his innocence not only to get through that you accuse asian had no evidence to persecute president lula but that he was innocent and me bro proven his innocence however we were dealing with a presiding judge who had a biased nature and was simply overlooked all of the evidences all of the evidences of innocence that were provided for in the cases in all 3 cases handled by him we have filed a hey bruce corpus before the Supreme Court in november of last year when he surprisingly enough of it was nominated. To be the minister of justice of ball so narrow which then. Made it clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was politically motivated while presiding that at the trial and this habeas corpus. Which should if granted and know all the procedures is to be heard by the Supreme Court so the fight is not over a big deal because he was released but the fight will still go on the legal battle will go on until all of the injustices made against a perpetrated against president lula our over over woold and hes free actually real free men with all of these Political Rights with his assets with his dignity. And his freedom judge those you more as you say the Justice Minister denies all wrongdoing do you expect him to go to trial and what is the time scale here so this could be at the end of november beginning of december that lulu would be free and then more trial proceedings against the Justice Minister brazil or reparation to president lula he was illegally deep
