To put livia to its people to young people to women to the heroism of peaceful resistance who will never forget this unique day the end of terror and grateful as a bolivian for this historical lesson long live bolivia absolutely delighted great talking to god that this dictatorship is over that this tyranny is over thats what i meant that its totally glorious for us so were very happy i did long lead good luck well here is what a triumph of democracy has looked like in bolivia president morales resigned the Vice President resigned the president of the senate the 3rd person in line for the top job you guessed it resigned. The Bolivian Army and Security Forces are the only viable force left after they renounce their allegiance to the government and took the side of the protesters hayes we suggested to the president the state to resign his president ial mounding to allow for peace and stability for the good of our believe yet. But its not as black and white as the Anti Government side might want you to think plenty of people have been supporting evo morales in the streets and its them who have been getting the short end of the stake here.

Members of the fur to have them around so we saw the tactics used to make. 28 chain so oh this all of this things that are happening on both of you are familiar to most of them can be described as stomach credit. Well the situation with bolivia came to a head when the organization of american states called for the countrys recent election to be an old due to irregularities the organization is made up of states from across the americas and aims to promote peace among those countries its headquarters is based in washington and it receives 60 percent of its funding from the u. S. But has not been short of controversy in the past particularly the haiti elections back in 2011 back then the oas was accused of pressuring the local election authorities to overturn the 1st round of the vote without a recount the groups actions in haiti drew wind spread condemnation meanwhile in its latest statement on bolivia the oas said it is against any unconstitutional means of ending the crisis and a call for peace and the rule of law to be restored antiwar activists gloria riva believes the oas is merely a tool of u. S. Influence. Organization american states includes or included all the states and the western hemisphere the americas the caribbean latin america including the u. S. And canada it is an instrument of the United States to meet his domination Political Economic military in the americans we have seen the away as general secretary lose our mother who is a complete puppet of the United States. Pressure menace well over and over he has tried to rally the Member States in the early years to vote to censure and expel them as well in the future but he has not shied away from now attacking believe you are claiming electoral fraud. But actually manipulated things immediately at the end of the pronouncement that while ours a winner and would not require a 2nd run of the oas and our mother immediately said that there was fraud and there without any kind of argentina or any kind of the real recounting of the ballots so it is really a political instrument the countries that try to break away from us in words and domination. And other news this hour shocking footage has emerged of a man being set on fire in hong kong after getting into an argument with protestors and a warning that there are some images ahead that you might find disturbing. Well it was one of. The scenes that youd see in a war or disaster zone that would shock even the most hardened viewers todays pictures from hong kong reach new lows the man in this footage hasnt been identified yet authorities have only confirmed he is in a Critical Condition police say he was attacked after arguing with a riot is the footage of the disorder is a regular feature on global news bulletins one could be forgiven for forgetting how and why this all began we must take action to demonstrate to president g. The United States senate stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of hong kong the people of hong kong are perfectly within their rights to be very skeptical very anxious about proposals for extradition to the mainland so yes i do support them and have police speak up for them and. Every inch of the way the u. K. Signed an internationally Binding Legal agreement in 1904 that in trying to the one country 2 systems rule in trying to the basic freedoms of the people of hong kong and we stand for square behind that agreement foursquare behind the people of hong kong all those months ago the demonstrators objectives and demands seem to be clear as time has passed and lines blurred this has changed this isnt the 1st such case of targeted violence merely another step in a pattern of escalation a middle aged unarmed man left unconscious on the ground after of swarming attack by demonstrators global times journalist food go out bound and beaten in hong kong airport for his support of author.

They have been biased and they have been also all ones either be sympathetic with the protesters their term ross or some morsy focusing on how the police handled at the corner store instead of all those kind of fall in certain misbehavior can complete the by the protesters because the violence has already domi the legitimacy and the popularity of the movement. The majority of the people who support from the scene and what we are only seeing in the television and the deal now these are the violent protesters. Running around in a kind of.

Of all of them actually they are going has his own agenda which is to part his own agenda as Muslim Brotherhood and the american agenda as a puppet so its to pot but they work in tandem with 2 agenda.
