Whos out there ya go. I want to say brothers and sisters the while i have life i will stay in politics to struggle continues. In a moment well speak to my other son shows in la paz but 1st to john holeman in mexico city who was there as morale is landed what did mothers have to say when he arrived in mexico john. Well as we just sort of heard from you im from him he was he did think that his life was in grave danger it wasnt easy to understand exactly what he was talking about but he said that someone from the Security Team of the army was asking for thousands of dollars in exchange for letting him see messages which presumably had some sort of threats to his life he also said that his house was under attack he said that is his neighbors helped to attack the Opposition Leader in bolivia has said the same thing actually this house has come under attack and the rector of the biggest Public University said that is his house was burnt so that seems to be happening across on both sides of the the divide in the country president morales as well said listen my only crime is to be indigenous my only crime is to try and help those who are poor in the country i think thats something that few would deny that in these nearly 14 years in charge of that country you almost have the extreme poverty he was the countrys 1st indigenous president and that did a lot for indigenous groups in the country he had a lot of social housing programs that we saw last time that we were in the country before the elections there were a lot of poor people a lot of people coming from poor backgrounds who are very grateful to president rallies and what he done he managed to do it while also having stability and economic stability the downside was that over time he seemed to be increasingly authoritarian or authoritarian is that together with the serious irregularities that the organization of american states said happened in the election what seemed to push a lot of people against him in the country you mentioned the organization in states there what are they saying about his resignation. Well theyre in a meeting actually an ongoing meeting thats been called over bolivia believe it was actually called by brazil and our colleague rose jordan has been keeping an eye on that for us in washington and various people are coming out to speak brazil has spoken saying that there needs to be law and order and that there should be fresh elections some of the caribbean islands in particular. Has come out saying that the countrys on the military rule at the moment that it isnt under civilian rule and thats obviously a bad thing some of those caribbean islands quite strongly allied to the bloc of countries that bolivia was part of the United States also has come out and has said that its pleased that the organization of states is. American states is considering the matter and saluting the courage and strength of the bolivian people as they protested the election so a very different line from the United States sort of celebrating the fact most. The president morales is gone from mexico the country that is just south of the border resourcefully offering him asylum and who is calling this and the country is calling this a military coup thats something actually that the foreign minister marcello abroad was asked this morning he said how is this going to affect mexicos all important relationship with the United States about 80 percent of mexicans exports go to the United States and he said well weve got a Good Relationship with the United States is based on respect and not submission were going to have different ideological ideas and thats ok both countries will be able to do that we will see how that develops would also see how that meeting of the organization of american states develops what they decide if anything at the end of it to homer thank you very much indeed when i ran a sanchez in the bolivian capital lap as the situation. Right now whats happening and i said. Well laurin the situation is moving very fast hearing believe yeah and the most important thing that is happening or about to happen will happen here behind me in the building that is the National Assembly legislators are there and theyre about to begin a session in about 30 minutes from now to swear in a new interim president weve been saying throughout the day thats there needs to be a quorum of 50 percent of lawyer of. Legislators plus one but according to some constitutional lawyers and according to the members of parliament who are there there is an article of the constitution article 169. 00 and also a constitutional sentence that says that even if there is no quorum the constitution finds that there has to be a precedent in bolivia and its already been 40 hours 8 hours without a precedent so they are about to start a session in about 30 minutes from now youll swear in the new interim president we will have to see if that indeed happens but thats what we are hearing even if no members of the mosque party it will more or less this party are here they havent come because we understand there is a division in the out in the ranks of those they have must party were the hardliners have been saying that all the legislators and thats 2 thirds of the houses have to resign another another side another arm of the mouse party saying that they want to come but they dont have guarantees and they dont feel they feel so the fret and because of members of their party but they dont want to come here so whoever comes here the constitution is saying that they have the bully house. So how if a precedent and thats what its what we think its about to happen here and what about the protests earlier you were reporting that they were on their way to the president ial palace or has that happened whats going on with her. Thats right laura and this area where the president ial palace and the National Assembly is completely sealed by by riot police theres another ring of protection by the army we have seen that assist few thousands of those protesters that come from the city a stronghold a bastion of supporters for it will not alice have come here they were very violent in the last few days but what weve been able to see is many people here who have come they are calm they are not clashing with the police there are some explosions be in. It been heard its the use of dynamite that traditionally is used in the and this is a common thing we havent seen clashes we havent seen any police throwing tear gas when there are water trucks positioned but what weve heard is some members of some representative of these protests of these protests are saying that they want to come and want to be able to read a letter here at the National Assembly saying that they did not agree that senator yeah i mean there i knew this is should be sworn in as the new interim president they dont want that they dont give an alternative and the other thing very important for this group of supporters of evermore alice is that they want to come here and pay tribute to the to the indigenous flag which is the first 2 1. 00 behind me because it was a burnt out by opposition protesters in the past few days and they feel that that is very important for them. So thats the tone of the protest right now we dont know if that will change in the next few hours lauren my associates thank you very much.

Most israelis who know him and know whats going on in his are understand that theres a personal stake in all of this because as again everyone knows hes facing major corruption charges 3 of them hes facing eminent indictment and potentially hes going to go to prison unless he stays Prime Minister hen hence he has a fundamental reason to deflect attention from his own corruption and court cases and sold so forth and then interest into forming a Coalition Government that he failed the last time around the time before that and that his best way forward for a national Coalition Government is to bring back his old friends i think believe him and was even more to the white of Prime Minister netanyahu and he probably of reckons a major escalation in gaza an assassination of this kind will probably bring him back in he already brought even a more extremists right wing politician enough that he bennett and i assigned him minister of defense in israel so you can imagine you have this real march towards the right wing in israel and this sort of this collision house and then there is the strategic issue of theres a ticking bomb in gaza and damascus and everywhere so israel has to always preempt by carrying assassinations.
