 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch where we bring you major news developments from around the world, our headlines. Venezuela secures legal victory over gold reserves in London that were seized by the UK. Movements around the world take part in week of anti-imperialist action. Bolivia's second constitutional court dismisses appeal to disqualify the movement towards socialism from election. Protesters storm major government buildings in Kyrgyzstan demand re-election. Direct intra-Afghan talks resume in Doha, deadlock over jurisprudence and US-Taliban deal continues. In our first study, the Venezuelan government secured a legal victory on Monday in its battle to regain access to its gold reserves in the Bank of England. The English Court of Appeal has set aside an earlier verdict which refused the Venezuelan central bank or the BCB access to the gold. The earlier verdict has cited the UK's recognition of Juan Guaido as the president of Venezuela. Before that verdict, the Bank of England had refused to repatriate the Venezuelan gold deposits on those grounds. In July, Judge Nigel Teer ruled against the Venezuelan legal recourse to regain access to the reserves. He claimed that the UK Foreign Office had recognized Juan Guaido as the interim president. However, Monday's decision by law justices Leveson, Males and Philips called on the UK government to clarify its recognition of Guaido and whether or not they recognize Nicolás Maduro's authority in any capacity or form. However, the court stopped short of ruling on the BCV attorneys claim that the British backing of Guaido violated international law. The case will now be reexamined by British commercial court. In a statement, the BCV welcomed the appeal court's overturning of the unusual July ruling. The BCV stated that the reserves valued US dollars 1.8 billion at current prices will be used to boost the country's COVID-19 response to the United Nations development program. Opposition Deputy Juan Guaido, who had proclaimed himself as interim president, did so in July, January 2019 and was immediately recognized by the US, UK and Allied governments in the West. In subsequent months, the Venezuelan government saw a host of assets being frozen. The opposition leader's office claimed that the ruling had not overturned the UK's position. Guaido's UK representative Vanessa Newman stated that the decision over the control of the gold would now go to a commercial court where Boris Johnson's government would need to clarify whether it retains any sort of implicit recognition of the Maduro government. In our next story, dozens of left political parties, people's movements and organizations, trade unions and international networks are holding diverse actions against imperialism from October 5th to 10th as part of the week of anti-imperialist action. The events which range from online seminars to workshops, social media campaigns and in some cases street actions are focused on understanding the history and nature of imperialism, its impact on the lives of people today and the history and ever-present necessity of the anti-imperialist cause. Some of the major platforms and organizations that have called for the week of action include the International People's Assembly, La Via Campesina, the World March of Women, Foral de Selpaolo, Social Movements of Alba, the Tri-Continental Institute of Social Research, the Women's International Democratic Federation, the European Left Party and dozens of others. Starting from yesterday, seminars, actions and other events are being held on issues such as sanctions, schools, militarisms and the struggles of the youth. On Friday, that's October 9th, the anniversary of the assassination of Ernesto Che Guevara, 18 publishing houses along with the Simon Bolivar Institute and the Tri-Continental Institute are launching a book on Che. On Saturday, an international festival of the people's resistance is being organized. It is a virtual internationalist political cultural festival that aims to, to good, share the art culture and anti-imperialist resistance of peoples of the world through artistic presentations, videos, visual arts and literature. The festival will also showcase messages from leaders of people's movements, political parties, intellectuals and other personalities. We now move on to Bolivia where the second constitutional chamber of La Paz on Monday rejected the appeal to eliminate the movement towards socialism or the MAS party from contesting elections. The appeal was presented by Senator Carmen Iwa Gonzales of the Democratic Unity Party. Gonzales demanded that the court direct the country's election body, the TSE, to annul the legal status of the MAS. She accused the MAS presidential candidate, Luis Arce, of violating electoral rules by disseminating the details of an opinion poll at the wrong time. The court stated that Gonzales did not have active legitimacy to present the compliance action and that it cannot decide on a matter that is pending with the Supreme Constitutional Court. The ruling was celebrated by hundreds of MAS supporters who gathered outside the court throughout the hearing. Former president Eva Morales, who was overthrown in a coup last year, also welcomed the court's decision. He said on a Twitter account that the attempt to disqualify the party was an attempt by the right-wing coup government. In the aftermath of the court's decision, far-right armed groups attacked MAS supporters waiting outside the court. General elections in Bolivia are scheduled for October 18th. The latest opinion poll by the Latin American Strategic Center for Geopolitics says that MAS presidential candidate Luis Arce and his vice presidential candidate David Chakravanka have the largest support in the country. The countrywide survey showed Arce leading with 44.4% of the intended votes, followed by Carlos Mesa of the centralized citizen community coalition with 34.0% of the votes. In our next story, earlier today hundreds of protesters demanding re-election in the recently held parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan stormed the government buildings in the capital Bishkek. Security forces made use of water cannons, tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the protesters. One person was reported decilled and more than 600 injured in the police action. The protesters stormed and occupied the White House which houses the presidential office and the parliament. The protesters also freed a former president who was serving 11-year sentence on charges of corruption. Elections for the Kyrgyzstan parliament were held on Sunday. The final results were announced on Monday in which two pro-president parties Unity and Mechanium Kyrgyzstan secured more than half the votes. Only four parties out of the 16 were able to make the official cut of 7% of the votes. Three of the four parties are considered to be close to the president. An international monitoring mission organized by the organization for security and cooperation in Europe said that it suspected large-scale vote buying. This led to 12 of the opposition parties challenging the results and joining the protesters. President Surinabe Jean Bekov announced after meeting opposition leaders that he is ready to annul Sunday's elections if necessary. And finally the intra-Afghan peace talks once again resumed in October 4th. The direct negotiations come after 22 days of indirect negotiations since the announcement of the peace talks last month. According to the negotiators, the parties held a meeting on Monday but could not achieve any agreement on the rules and regulations. Of the 20 total procedural rules for negotiations, the Afghan government and the insurgent Taliban read to agree on matters of religious jurisprudence and the US Taliban deal. According to reports, the 20-member Taliban team is insisting on the recognition of the US Taliban agreement as a mother deal underlying the negotiations. The Taliban side is also demanding that Hanafi jurisprudence be the sole guideline for the talks. However, the Afghan administration led by chief negotiator Abdullah Abdullah has suggested other alternatives to the demands proposed by the Taliban. On October 6th, National Security Advisor Hamdullah Mohib emphasized that there are no foreign mediators required in the ongoing peace talks. The statement came from the government hours after suggestions came for a mediator to go beyond the 22-day deadlock. In his official statement, the National Security Advisor added that the government does not want the terms of the US Taliban peace deal to be imposed on the Afghan people. That's all we have time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.
