These are live pictures coming from the National Assembly actually we just saw moments ago planes. Congratulations and hugs for the president senator who will take over hugh so weve got 2 correspondents covering the story john holmes in mexico city where even morality is a bit with you in a moment john i do want to start with money in asuncion is in the positive and i can hear a syringe. Yes come all i can hear you well ok go ahead tell us whats happening just now as you were saying that. Yes yes right now theres a lot of tensions and a lot of people running. The news has been named interim president just a few minutes ago as you just said right now you can see behind me on the doorsteps all of the of the. The National Assembly she was going to walk out the door to speak to the press we are live she has done that that session that began just a few minutes ago we thought that it was going to take a while but it is the. Swearing in has been a really fast ride after that happened just a few minutes ago we started hearing explosions and were hearing people shouting in the area surrounding the president ial palace and the National Assembly we are seeing that police is moving fast there are riot police around this area weve seen the water trucks coming this way im going towards the different points of the perimeter of this area where the police has the riot police had been blocking the way and theyre out with theres another ring of security by the army but throughout the afternoon theres been many protesters whove been very calm and very. Why its but since im as we are watching what is going on people are shouting we havent seen them confronting or clashing with police not just yet but there is a lot of tension in this area right now what we can tell you kemal is that there was the saying that the there needed to be a quorum in order for i knew this guy needs to be named interim president but there are some legal. Ways to come around that by articles of the constitution that articles of the constitution that protect the state of believe we are and the constitution says that there needs to be a precedent bolivia cannot be without a precedent and thats why they have gone ahead and named her interim president because its been 48 hours of this power vacuum come out do you know anything further about senator or now interim president where she sits on the political spectrum is she popular amongst people. Shes an opposition senator shes been in the senate for since 2010 a lawyer former t. V. Presenter and an opposition an opposition lawmaker of the of the of the mosque party and of the government of former government of ever more value is now she has said that the most important thing and the reason why she accepted to become an interim president is to immediately call for elections that timetable is very short to be able to how oppressive by january 22 its now that they have to renew the electoral tribunal which all its members have been taken to jail because of electoral fraud they need to name a new tribunals and i have to that there needs to be a campaign and an election that theyre sort of thinking that it could be around the 20th of december and analysts was telling me that its all have very tight timetable but thats what i knew mentioned yesterday when she talked to the press us she was accepting say that she would accept the position of interim president ok fast moving situation in the past monday on a thank you for all of those updates were now moving to mexico city and john holeman where as we said before john a former is there theres also been i believe an emergency meeting of the oas the organization of american states whats come out of that. You know we just get the notes from that meeting now lots of different viewpoints as you would expect countries mostly from the left that say that this was a military coup its completely unacceptable what happened in bolivia where as you mentioned the army did ask president more as if he would step down and on the other hand other countries mainly from the right especially the United States are actually saying well this was a fraudulent election there were serious irregularities according to the organization of american states so this is a good thing that president morales is gone and the country can now get on with an ordinary transition and hold new elections so all across the spectrum really in that meeting brazil actually appeared to have called the emergency meeting and it was was approved by quite a few other countries it basically said that that we reject any violence that we want peace for bolivia at the moment what an interim presidency which as you heard from seems to be happening and new elections as quickly as possible and i think thats one thing that unites a lot of countries on both sides of the divide if they think its acceptable or not i think a lot of countries seem to be saying that at least they recognize that there do need to be elections quickly in bolivia to try and sort this out and try and sort out the power vacuum meanwhile president morales landed in mexico city today and heres what he had to say as he arrived. I want to tell you that im very frank full to the president of mexico who saved my life. I want to say bob has insisted that while i have a life i will stay in politics to struggle continue. Why mexico john what is welcoming of our allies they are saying that the president saved his life but why is the chosen to go there and what is he doing next. Well it was interesting the wording of what the mets confer minister said about this he said that the country had offered president morale is this asylum that he had specifically asked for it 1st so i suppose thats quite a big reason also. Thinking about the Different Countries that president rallies could have gone to perhaps venezuela perhaps cuba mexico is obviously a lot less isolated internationally than those 2 countries at the moment but this isnt a country that president were is said that he wants to stay in indefinitely he said that he wants to fresh himself he wants to get energized but hes not done with politics and presumably he wants to go back to believe youre it all depends i suppose what happens in there with the situation in that country if the situation does move on and how hes regarded there in that country this is still someone who was. Meant to come 1st at least in the 1st round of the elections really the contra controversy there was about whether it would be close enough for a 2nd round on nazri does to have a lot of supporters in bolivia another institution here as well thats whose reputation is on the line and of course the organization of american states really heavily involved here because it was their vote audit that found the serious irregularities in their election some countries obviously supporting that and saying well thats great that they went in there and found that out of the country particularly year ago i had some pointed comments to make in the meeting of the organization of american states saying that maybe it was a double edged sword some people saying that the organization of american states has become quite a politicized organization under its secretary general right now so this is sort of a situation with a lot of actors in latin america and beyond in the United States and canada was so involved in the organization of american states but it does seem that despite all their differences and despite the internal differences in bolivia they are still going towards mostly the common end of trying to push for elections. Right good context there from john home in mexico city thank you for bats and weve also heard from our correspondent in tokyo where pro supporters have been rallying have a right here in the district 8. Stronghold of abel more dallas were here because theres all kinds of people that have gathered here to show their support to the president they say the only man that has brought it to bolivia Indigenous Community theyre saying theyre defending this is the flag that represents indigenous communities in the country talking to some people here who are afraid that racism could be back in this country they say that it would change to bolivia and thats why theyre demanding its release let me show you the amount of people that have come here to show you support. This is just one road block on the way and were 6 told there are many many of these people are. Also saying is that this will not go unpunished they know you want them what i also want this is what theyre saying the head of thats a president ial candidate opposition president ial candidate and also.

These actions have started this morning after the crime was committed by israel markets were fired towards televisions and Islamic Jihad with all of the resistance groups will continue targeting all safe places of the occupation. Islamic jihad said israel had crossed all red lines and promised a bigger response than usual one rocket exploded on a busy highway in your gaza and the a miss for those in passing cars and for those in a bus waiting at the intersection.

More now from a senior political analyst Mullen Bashar who says Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is now using this conflict to divert attention from his own political problems. Most israelis who know him and know whats going on is or understand that theres a personal stake in all of this because again everyone knows hes facing major corruption charges 3 of them hes facing imminent 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 so so forth and then interest into forming a Coalition Government he failed the last time around the time before that and the his best way forward for a national Coalition Government is to bring back his old friends i think believe a man was even more to the light of Prime Minister netanyahu and he probably 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 signed 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 escalation helps 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 in lebanon a man has been shot dead after an altercation as he was blocking a road during ongoing antigovernment protests in beirut demonstrators have been blocking traffic with burning tires after president michel aoun told them to go home earlier he said the next government of the country must be made up of technocrats and politicians the United Nations of lebanon to form a competent government after Prime Minister saad hariri resigned after the protests the country has been rocked by demonstrations fueled by anger at alleged corruption.
