Of his Australian Open title even a record crowd watching federer is the latest win of the hopman cup in. Lets get going to iran where the Supreme Leader has spoken out for the first time about antigovernment protests that have spread across the country since thursday. He is blaming foreign intelligence agencies for a spike in violence state media says eight people were killed overnight taking the total number of dead so far to twenty two more than five hundred others have been arrested the protests began over a weak economy but the demands of since grown with chants certain against both the government and the Supreme Leader matheson reports. Gunshots in the city of persia on monday night. Demonstrators defy a Government Social media blackout posting these pictures from cities across iran of damaged cars crowds and burning buildings. Just hours earlier in the capital tehran there was little sign of the turmoil which is engulfed parts of the country but the issues which have sparked the protests such as iran stuttering economy after years of sanctions and the fear of unemployment are serious concerns for people here. John the part im working but in this society im always stressed about the possibility of getting fired the next day. Always being worried about my job my family the security of my family the main problems people are grappling with are their security the economy and their livelihood. And there are some who are poor and cannot make ends meet what should they do life is really difficult we have tenants i have a daughter and son both at school the high prices are really put me under pressure at home u. S. President donald trump has tweeted that iranians are hungry for food and freedom and thats led to protests outside the white house demanding the removal of president rouhani. Irans Supreme Leader says the countrys enemies are to blame for fueling the protests man montazeri if the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack through which you can infiltrate look at the recent events all those who are at odds with the Islamic Republic have used various means including money weapons politics and intelligence apparatus to create problems for the islamic system yes lama republic and the islamic revolution. On monday night protestors also continue to demonstrate against irans support for syrian president Bashar Al Assad as well as caused in lebanon and hamas in the occupied palestinian territories irans Republican Guard is threatening to stop the demonstrations but there are still calls for more protests rob matheson al jazeera. Ok lets drill down into the issues there for you to learn a judge is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center an associate at the Harvard Kennedy school iran project only for two and a jet this is not regime collapse but equally on the other end of the question i guess it is not a small isolated incident so how do we label this what we describe it as being well i mean those are with no doubt the most politicized demonstrations we have had in iran for a very long time and clearly the slogans are and to regime so they target all factions of the republic all factions of the establishment and the regime change is such a loaded term because it was misused by a lot of imperialist projects in the past so but what is clear is that people are not happy with the current regime in iran what does it tell us about the leadership and whos driving this because i mean in a sense would be better if the demonstrations had just fizzled and died away because now the government obviously feels the need to react to something well first of all we dont see any leadership as as was this. Days in the arab uprising in two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven and of course which is different to the two thousand and nine Green Movement in iran where we have had some kind of leadership coming from parts of the elite who were really i mean toning down a bit of the demands that many had but this time around so we have a lot of you know activism on the streets people from different different social strata especially the low and now middle classes going out on the streets and we are facing heavy put a repression from the regime side as well so this is something that is that we have to watch actually clearly there are different neighbors across the region looking in on whats happening and arguably they want Different Things to come out of it how problematic is that for the leadership when they have to kind of distilled what they think they might have to do yeah i mean its no doubt there are a lot of the there are some external forces who tend to who are instrumental izing what is now going on in iran and on the others and we have to acknowledge did they dont have much influence in iran anyways so the claim by the government to say that a lot of these these protests are instigated by the outside when the past the same government would say that those forces dont have a following for example inside iran is just ironic so there are a lot of you know different interests that are whirling around iran but at the same time those protests or somehow organic ok on that idea of it being organic or at least organic outside of iran there are people saying actually some of this is m. B. A. s some of this is the crown prince in saudi arabia but theyre also saying hes maybe kind of overplayed his hand because with the g. C. C. Crisis he wanted to give other countries a kicking he want to send a clear message to iran and then youve got israel this. This better relationship not the best relationship but a better relationship with three yet. I mean obviously i mean i was actually alluding to those forces outside of iran and for example the saudis are also supporting an obscure iranian called cauldron which i dinna who are we used to be you know who are in socalled Opposition Group degenerated into a cult and a terrorist group and all those groups are trying to say that we have some kind of following in iran and what is happening is you know. Actually happening without support or whatsoever but those are overblown you know claims the truth of the matter is lies not within the outside world or with outside forces but with the real very very real structural problems that iranian people have filed over the years ok on the structural problems are you surprised that two points one point number one at the scale in the speed of whats happened this is iran and also is it over yet. Well im not surprised given if you have been objectively following the Socio Economic indicators in iran where you see a huge portion of the population perhaps you know people are talking about half of the population living around the poverty line and who have not been benefiting from either the reformist politics or the ronnie presidencies politic economic policies neither from the conservative side on the other hand you have a fundamental lack of the mock rattled rights in iran its so if you take all the structural factors plus the contingent factors the more recent factors so their governments response to the earthquakes student and labor protests and most recently the budget announcement of the Rwandan Government that was not really addressing those Socio Economic and political grievances which is you know which which i ask you later the situation and so if you take the structural and convention contingent factors you can be very much surprised. Many things. Palestinians are condemning a new israeli law which makes it harder to handle the parts of jerusalem under any future peace deal is really m. P. S. Pass the bill which means two thirds of the knesset must now approve giving up territory a simple majority was required before the former palestinian negotiator saeb erekat says the new law is a continuation of the u. S. President s decision to put an end to the palestinian cause mohammed has more now from occupied East Jerusalem. There are so many questions being asked about the impact of this new law what we do know for sure is that number one this law would mean that a supermajority or eighty of one hundred twenty knesset members would be needed for approval of any future legislation when it comes to giving up territory in to roost and thats instead of the sixty one or simple majority members of the knesset that are needed or that were needed before now that makes a big difference because in effect that essentially takes to roussillon off the negotiating table and any future peace talks now the second and perhaps more contentious issue this brings up is that this could potentially allow for the changing of jerusalems municipal borders that means that neighborhoods like one behind me call for you as well as this crop refugee camp neighborhoods that are both behind the wall they would no longer potentially be part of the jerusalem municipality that raises a lot of questions about what would happen to the residents there that are now considered residents of East Jerusalem with those residents continue to be residents of jerusalem where they continue to be residents of israel would they be able in the future to vote in jerusalem elections many questions at this hour weve spoken to lots of analysts lots of lawyers theyre scratching their heads about it as well essentially this raises many issues about over one hundred thousand palestinians that are in neighborhoods like this that dont really know Going Forward what their residency status or other status are going to be bringing a lot more uncertainty into an already very Uncertain Times ok lets bring in brian reeves brian is the director of development and external relations of peace now an israeli advocacy joins us live from tel aviv so there was no Peace Process when you start with and this kills off any chance of the ever being a Peace Process certainly in the immediate only a future. Well this certainly blocks two state solution or tries to do so lets be clear here this is part of a larger concerted effort by the right wing government to prevent the formation of a two state solution it is well known that a palestinian capital easter is the one is a palestinian red line and by making it exceedingly difficult perhaps and possibly difficult for a future israeli Prime Minister to see the land in East Jerusalem. Effectively condemning the two state solution to that it is very very complex its difficult to get a handle on the the mathematics of this but if i got this right what it basically means is or what they officially are saying is this there is a demographic time bomb coming in this particular area and we have to do something about that and the best way to do it is to address the the idea of who has the right i. D. Papers because fifteen thousand palestinians have the relevant papers that will be person and to this decision. Yes however the issue here is a matter of dividing jerusalem if israel is so worried about the demographic trends then what is needed. Is to go back to the larger picture of going to the negotiating table and pushing for a two state solution by simply unilaterally taking the measure to excise certain palestinian neighborhoods from its true some were talking about two thirds of palestinians in East Jerusalem that this bill would essentially kick outside of the in this the palette by doing that its dismembering East Jerusalem its strengthening israels hold over some contested areas and what we call the holy basin the old city and other religious sites. In effect it is. Destroying the possibility of a palestinian capital there and therefore peace in the region youre saying this means the idea of a two state solution will never work would a three state solution never work after the fact of the reason i ask you that is this because if we rewind well youre smiling but if we rewind by about eighteen months there was a point when the relationship between how mass was so negative people were really talking about a three state solution and if it was a possibility of them why couldnt it be a possibility in the future. Well im not sure it was a possibility then for sure a major obstacle to the two state solution is united Palestinian Government with monopoly on force for sure at the same time such talk of a three state solution is really unfeasible theres not really a case where palestinians from what weve seen would agree to have you know two separate states this comes from a notion from the israeli right that believes that the very least israel can annex all of the west bank sort of pushed to the side of the gaza strip maybe it can become another another states but then there is still be a jewish majority in this sort of greater israel or similar as you said lets say there is an israeli two state solution just with the west bank in israel while keeping gaza to the side we all know what would happen there there would be an escalation in gaza and at that point wed be back to square one with palestinians up in arms brian reeves in tel aviv thank you. Lots more still to cover for you here on the news hour including nigerias military says hundreds of people held hostage by. An article cannot get in the way of a relaxing holiday when the museums government is trying to go towards the back to the island of bali. And in sport much to unite rediscover the form to start the new year and hes here with the details in the heart of. Pakistan has seized control of charities and Financial Assets linked to one of the main suspects in the two thousand and eight mumbai bomb attacks in india came as the u. S. President on twitter that pakistan is a quote haven for terrorists natasha going to more on whos behind the charities. Theres a ten Million Dollar reward for any information leading to the conviction of half is sayit yet here he is at a rally last week protesting u. S. President Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel the United States believes saeed is the mastermind of the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai over the course of four days attackers used automatic weapons and grenades to kill more than one hundred sixty people say he has denied involvement in the attacks at a court in pakistan found there was insufficient evidence to convict him and twenty seventeen he was put under house arrest for violating antiterrorism laws really made his release prompted outrage from pakistanis and the u. S. Government which is long been critical of pakistan when it comes to clamping down on terrorism the pakistani government has targeted saeeds assets and charities they include three hundred schools hospitals Ambulance Services and a Publishing House the government is blocking fund raising and there are plans to assume control of them the Un Security Council has also banned two of sedes organizations pakistan is under pressure and their fly this new decision. Has come after the british by the americans by you and by india. This is a challenging time in pakistan u. S. Relations we must see Decisive Action against terrorist groups parading on their. And we make massive payments every year to pakistan they have to help pakistan says moving in on saeeds groups isnt bowing to u. S. Pressure its intended to fulfil its International Obligations reuters reports that pakistan was worried it would face u. N. Sanctions for failing to crack down on terrorist groups later this month a Un Security Council team will visit to check on its progress natasha going to aim. Well supporters of protesting against that decision over the socalled charities come. From islam about. The budget on a government had moved to ban hafiz saeed jagjit the outfit which had been working across budget on a national day of doctors and respect among the people in the country however to move will be seen by dan as an attempt to die for the day work and gun created already raging protests. Starting in the city of karachi and. Blog the grand trunk road a major white bread highway would then get on the Pakistani Foreign minister on the other hand also lashing out at the United States by saying that progress on what is being blamed for the United States failure and ive won it on and by the americans blaming it on so indeed major developments read in the region but also a strong reaction expected from. Fed. Move restored leon justify lets talk. Hes a political commentator and the. News he joins us from islamabad house and con is this really about keeping the United States and the United Nations happy because there is talk of renewing sanctions. Yeah i think at the moment by august on is under tremendous pressure from the u. N. And the years and its not only the external pressure to the secular leaning Political Parties and the secular leaning going to ization Nongovernmental Organization i was so putting pressure on Pakistan Government and its security establishment. To do this jack the moment. Especially as charity are going to ization and usually with a new name says they you buy is not named as. So this is a combined pressure on the pakistani government and security establishment to check the prophesied though unfortunately as he was accused for. In india but unfortunately india failed to provide hard evidence to pakistan to prove the same in the court. Has done anything against the pakistani law so there is a pressure on the pakistani government to view this today. In a National SecurityCommittee Meeting there was a. Meeting by august on dog miller to your offices meetings and the Political Leadership meeting to chart a policy how to deal with it because its too difficult to see theres not a was and he is part of the defense. Which is an umbrella are going to ization up having a number of illegal Political Parties bending his head if you are going to addition specially. Going to ization. It has just to interrupt you very very quickly on the meticulous point if i mean come on why is it being driven to a conclusion that india might be happy with if this man is in the crosshairs of being held accountable i mean is it the judiciary or is it the politicians in pakistan that a pushing this at the moment. I think this is. Said the secular leading politician in the Political Party is in it when they were instrumental in blocking hafiz say the Political Party the million Muslim League the government was under so much pressure there didnt i didnt grant n. O. C. No objections or to be good. Political party to be they just got in the Election Commission of pakistan so we can sit in courts the government failed to rule. Against obvious aid but under political pressure because the Political Parties are against mainstreaming. People like him in the pakistan political scene what about the military in all of this i mean we can have a conversation about pakistan without talking about the military purpose machine or if we were talking about this time last week he did iran to dubai ok hes not involved in this but he has made comments about it in the past so where do we fold the military into the potential for what may happen next. I think. So did the legation element in Pakistani Military especially. Senior journalists they are somehow supporting an office a group for that reason there has are going to ization is involved. Extending support to the Media Freedom fighters in the indian. So that is the fact that is the reason they are the pakistan Political Parties that are against him for his being annoyed in activities which. Type activities and they fear they didnt woman he can extend these if they would do so within within the country so yes the people and the political observer who believe there elements in the Pakistan Security establishment. Somehow extending a model of Financial Support to the house they say then his are going to use asians or their cities and there he is so far. His are going to ization is is you know his charity you are going to ization is the only are going to is a sin which is allowed to work and. Nongovernmental organizations are not allowed specially. In the desert. So do you put these these and these these these evidence this people believe maybe he is he has the support of element from the Pakistan Security establishment ok house and khan great to talk to as ever many thanks.

It looks like china limper Winter Olympics are going to provide the forum for both north and south korean athletes to participate together to compete and also to delay or potentially divert the danger of war which president prompt for really present to the Korean Peninsula last year so it looks like the olympics are going to serve the original intention your original purpose of stopping the wars and allowing people to improve peoples diplomat diplomacy and in interpreting the reconciliation may turn into the new phase these here again and i think both president of south korea and the Supreme Leader of north korea understand that its probably the only way to avert the war it looks like that come china lympics it going to delay anyway in any in any possible consecration of war resumption of the korean war so the war is not going to happen well at least until the end of the lympics so i can say.

Inside the danger zone tourists are visiting ballys most famous temple the sucky life just seven kilometers from the crater of the erupting volcano and was off limits for the past three months the decision to reopen a tourist attraction shows the governments eagerness to lure visitors the whole gay know is still at its highest alert level or agree with this decision there are many other places where tourists can go and barely we cant predict nature its better to put safety first around five million tourists visit bali every year but after the eruptions and Airport Closure last month several countries including china issued travel warnings hotels far away from the volcano where am and owners were forced to temporarily suspend staff.

As im. Do we jack has learned how fragile his business is over these past months his small resort in a safe area near the volcano has been mostly empty and he hasnt been able to pay his staff. About what i have learned from the situation is that we have no choice then to accept what happens to us and start to look for alternatives if my resort business fails then maybe i can start selling food yes. But not all is lost because some tourists the erupting volcano has become an attraction in itself perhaps with the right Safety Measures in place bally could use dyspeptic all of nature to its advantage step fasten aljazeera superman.
