Political Crisis in Bolivia Continues After Military Pressure Ousts Evo Morales
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thousands marched across Bolivia Monday to demand the resignation of
Jeanine Áñez, the right-wing senator who declared herself president of
Bolivia last week after longtime socialist President Evo Morales
resigned in what he and others have condemned as a military coup. The
political crisis in Bolivia has sparked nationwide violence, with at
least 23 dead, including nine people shot dead by the military at an
indigenous pro-Morales march in Cochabamba Friday. In more news from
Bolivia, indigenous Bolivian family members are in Miami today for a
hearing urging the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate a $10
million judgment finding Bolivia's former President Gonzalo Sanchez de
Lozada liable for the massacre of more than 60 unarmed indigenous people
in 2003. We'll speak to Bolivia's ambassador to the United Nations later
in the broadcast.
