Bolivia’s President Rodrigo Paz has warned the country is at a “breaking point” after weeks of antigovernment protests sparked by a deepening economic crisis. Demonstrations and road blockades have caused shortages of food, fuel and life-saving medicine. Paz is now calling for talks with trade unions, Indigenous groups and protest leaders in an effort to defuse the unrest. Al Jazeera’s Monica Yanakiew reports from La Paz, Bolivia.
