All best friends forever as the right to vote and to protest these hard earned rights will be protected and infiltrators will not be allowed to sabotage them through violence and destruction. Well he may be using twitter to get his message out but the iranians were stopped from using social media when the government blocked instagram and the popular site so joining me now from toronto to discuss this is mass. Dani she is a research a focusing on human rights and technology and iran thanks very much for speaking to us as it can you start by explaining the impact of the app telegram on iran and iranians how does the at was and how many users on there in iran thanks for having me on you know. I think telegram is a platform that not a lot of people understand that importance specifically in iran because since two thousand and fifteen its kind of risen to be this really central platform for communications and all sorts from talking to your friends and your family to getting updates on traffic and weather from particular public channels to getting your news and getting information from various public channels of different political factions across the board and so theres about eighty million iranians in total and theres about forty five million iranians online and telegram since the latest its a success about forty million monthly users so its almost ubiquitous in terms of how people are using the internet there if theyre using the internet its likely theyre on polygram in iran and we know the rough of those that are using telegram those that the app is popular with. The thing about telegram is that its so easy to use that even low tech iranians are on there so from my own personal experience im in touch with older generations that are on there and theyre sharing information and theyre actively were taking in the political discourse thats going on online. And how important a role has telegram played in communication between people obviously and in chatting but also in the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of information and and politics so the future is that telegram has has made it much easier for people to upload videos and content so in that way theres a lot of information being spread about that and you know that is sometimes even pro regime and not from hardline factions you know from propagating their own narratives. But i think its too early to kind of say that telegram is really mobilizing people i think thats something we need to talk about retrospect at least but definitely what we can tell from the facts is that the government is really sensitive on this because telegram has been untouched in terms of hasnt been censored since twenty fifteen when it really had an uptick in iranian users and its only been these past few days that the government has become sensitive and in fact it censor it a few days ago so the fact that theyre nervous about these platforms goes to show that they think that it is having a role in mobilization and protests all thanks very much for helping us understand that dimension of the story a bit more its very interesting. Donny thank you. You know so lets discuss the u. S. Comments weve been hearing on iran at the United Nations my canneries life or so u. N. Had courses in new york and so hearing some very strong comments from u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley calling for an emergency meeting on iran whats been the reaction that to this mike. Well the u. S. Ambassador was basically speaking during an outline of what the u. S. Priorities are going to be in two thousand and eighteen she did say that she would be pushing strongly for an Emergency SecurityCouncil Meeting here at the United Nations and also with Human Rights Council in geneva weve heard from the incoming president of the Security Council that the u. S. Ambassador has approached him with regard to calling an emergency meeting he didnt give any more details than that but what is being discussed is how difficult it will be for her to get full Security Council agreement on such a meeting in the past on similar type of issues members like russia and china have argued very strongly that what is happening in iran at this particular stage is a part of a domestic issue rather than an International Threat and as such she likely to have a number of Security Council members lobbying strongly against holding an emergency meeting at this particular stage but shes adamant that shes going to push for it she will obviously continue doing so in the days ahead all right mike well nikki haley has been speaking about a few other issues the main other thing is pakistan because youre hearing nikki haley criticizing pakistan for failing to cooperate fully with the u. S. In its fight against terrorism she is accusing it of playing a double game and announce that aid would be suspended the administration is withholding two hundred and fifty five million in assistance to pakistan there are clear reasons for this pakistan have played a double game for years they work with us at times and they also harbor the terrorists that attack our troops in afghanistan that game is not acceptable to this administration. And the white house says it will take further action against pakistan in the next twenty four to forty eight hours this follows a tweet from President Trump on monday accusing pakistan of lies and deceit and being a safe haven for terrorists is all about is reacted angrily summoning the u. S. Ambassador to explain this Pakistans NationalSecurity Committee also held a three hour meeting to discuss the tweet so mike hanna also following these developments at the United Nations for us and this looks as though there is a serious deterioration between the u. S. And pakistan like what have you been hearing about this at the u. N. Well yes interesting to know to marian that what the u. S. Ambassador has been saying mir is very closely the tweets that weve seen from President Trump over the past forty eight hours those tweets about pakistan those tweets about iran all issues highlighted by the ambassador to the u. N. In the course of the softer noon very clearly there is some form of coordination between the white house and the ambassador to the United Nations that being said what we did have from the u. N. Ambassador was confirmation that a sum of money is going to be withheld from pakistan some two hundred fifty Million Dollars in aid will be withheld the the u. N. Ambassador confirmed hearing also from the white house spokesperson that there will be more details released on those in the next twenty four to forty eight hours so clearly there is a ramping up of u. S. Action the trumpet ministration action in terms of its relations with pakistan weve seen those emergency meetings taking place in islam a bug with the Pakistan Government expressing grave disquiet about the tweets pushed out by President Trump no doubt even greater disquiet following confirmation from the u. N. Ambassador that some money is going to be withheld from pakistan in the days weeks ahead like canner in one thousand nations thank you very much well under pressure from the u. S. And its neighbors pakistan is already planning to take control of charities and Financial Assets linked to a man considered a terrorist by many countries the u. S.

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 fire this new decision.

A spokesman for palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says and he was writing a law which makes it harder to hand out of jerusalem as a clever than to a declaration of war israeli politicians pass the bill which means two sides of the knesset now prove giving up territory on the any future peace deal jim reports from occupied East Jerusalem. It was to say the least a controversial vote members of the knesset Israels Parliament setting a higher threshold for any future attempt to give up any parts of jerusalem instead of a simple majority of sixty one votes now a supermajority of eighty votes or two thirds of the one hundred twenty seat knesset will be needed to approve any legislation ceding parts of jerusalem to any foreign parties it places a major hurdle in the path of jerusalem being part of any future peace talks palestinian leaders while frustrated are not surprised saying similar laws are being pursued in an israeli effort to consolidate its occupation look a film that some promise and it screams that we are moving. Directly in another path you know the path of the now they change its own. This is very clear there is however considerable confusion about what happens next one of the key questions for palestinians now is what impact this legislation will have on areas like over iraq up where we are now and the shop at refugee camp it was originally expected that as part of the bill the knesset would also vote to allow for the changing of jerusalems municipal borders meaning that neighborhoods such as and so i thought refugee camp both located behind the security wall would no longer be part of jerusalem municipality which could among other things potentially strip approximately one hundred fifty thousand palestinians of their residency status that provision however was withdrawn at the last minute the head of the president s Committee Says even if the law were to pass his group would make sure it wont go into effect immediately. I dont think that will happen before five or six years because we go in to go to court at cannes that we as a committee over the e. U. By the name of a lot of people we are going to go to the core and to helping us in this the committees of the human rights when they were can is there and some of them put a note of some of them is that i but they will tell both the good the court the stand in the court again that while the exact date isnt known its expected the knesset will attempt to debate the issue of jerusalems municipal borders in the near future adding another note of uncertainty during a time already full of concern mohamed atta who put iraq up in occupied East Jerusalem egypt has extended its state of emergency for a novel three months as follows two deadly attacks against Coptic Christians in the one District South of cairo on friday night egypt first imposed a state of emergency in april after two Church Bombings killed at least forty five people but into syria where a spike in violence has killed dozens of civilians its part of a government assault on rebel held positions near damascus four hundred thousand people have been living under siege in east and go to for the past four years and desperate need of food and medicine and hunger ports.
