Broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our Team International and whether youre watching from washington d. C. Or california or even Traverse City michigan were glad to have you with us had an emergency u. N. Security Council Meeting to discuss the mass antigovernment protests that engulfed iran has finished up in new york the session was called by washington which was voiced which has voiced its strong support for the demonstrators are to scale up and tells us what was said during the meeting. The meeting was called by the United States an emergency meeting of the fifteen member body that leads the un the Security Council and essentially the usa spoke and then many other countries spoke and many of them questioned whether or not the meeting itself was even valid now the meeting opened with nikki haley she is the representative of the United States and she voiced strong support for the iranian protesters calling them courageous talking about the usa quote standing in solidarity with the iranian protests you also went on a tirade against the iranian government the United States stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves prosperity for their families and dignity for their nation we will not be quiet no dishonest attempt to call the protesters puppets of foreign powers will change that if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer it now immediately following the remarks from nikki haley representing the usa we then heard from the representative of france and france is a country that generally agrees with the United States in u. N. Security Council Proceedings however if you heard what the french representative had to say he wasnt exactly agreeing with nikki haley he emphasized the importance of the Nuclear Agreement between the p five plus one countries and iran remaining intact and he talked about how this is really an internal matter in iran is it because you know you. Mr president it is up to the iranians and to the iranians alone to pursue peaceful dialogue a dialogue based on full respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the iranian people we must react appropriately to whats been going on in other words we must ensure that we remain watchful and vigilant about what is happening during these peaceful protests. Following that we heard from other members of the fifteen member body we heard from china other countries and we heard from the russian representative now the russian representative question why this meeting was taking place as this was unrest in iran and then emphasized the importance of stability in the region and opposing the spread of terrorism and why it was probably not a good idea for Foreign Countries to be escalating and promoting unrest in iran we should think washington in this case since americas energetic can provide kind of messages to the arena and people have brought them closer together during antiamerican feelings we get the impression that some logically unexplainable allergies keeping the us blind to a rational evaluation of what is happening in the country they simply want to believe what theyre seeing is true good. Now in addition to the fifteen members of the Security Council because the meeting were directly related to issues in iran the Islamic Republic of iran was able to then address the security Council Meeting now the iranian representative he talked about how iran is a democratic country in his view and argued that people in iran do have the right to protest however they dont have the right to do so violently he then talked about how there have been instances of violence in the recent protests and pointed to the usa being involved in fomenting these acts of violence here and talk about the history of us meddling in irans affairs and he went into quite a bit of detail now the meeting ended after we heard from the iranian representative and there were no further speeches now no resolution was put forward or passed the meeting kind of ended on conclusively so people are wondering exactly what came out of the meeting why did this meeting take place questions were raised on the floor about whether this was a legitimate meeting of the Security Council at all and people are wondering exactly what will happen next as we continue to hear support for these protests in iran by the leaders of the United States. Earlier we were joined by a political analyst and a commentator shabbir who believes that those who want to foment a civil war in iran will not be successful i think those people who said that this is an internal iranian issue absolutely correct because it is the protests started because of. Economic problems people who are a little bit upset with. An Economic Policy with the price of things they certainly have a. Telegram accounts by the barrel load targets in iran teaching people how to make most of cocktails have to make i. D. s how to assassinate people this is not normal and then all of a sudden you have trump and nikki haley and all these people coming along and saying that you know. We stand with the people of iran this is america israel saudi arabia interfering at least from a distance within irans internal affairs so to create a serious style civil war inside iran while it is the wet dream of people like me who have been silent to netanyahu with allies being trying to do stuff out of court the sun and other places this is not going to happen iran is far more resilient and the government is wiser and more importantly the world is why so. Turkeys president has taken aim at washington over the conviction of a Turkish National in the us and is reportedly now ready to back out of longstanding agreements between the two nations the United States should excuse us but the laws in our bilateral ties and the bilateral accords between us are losing their validity im saddened to say this but this is how it will be from now on turkish journalist. Has more on the breakdown. Turkish and u. S. Relations have been deteriorating again in the last just came after the conviction of a turkish banker and who is in executive of a state owned turkish bank and it came after the testimony of the turkish iranian gold trader who is a convict in the United States for evading u. S. Sanctions in iran now this whole trial may lead up to thirty years in prison for these comments lately president out of the on the head yet again condemned these actions of the United States and if this is the u. S. Understanding of justice then the world is doomed for one thing the u. S. Should review its understanding of justice and at the same time strengthen it while the turkish government sees this trial as a u. S. Intervention to internal affairs and this is not the first time that the nato allies have terry rating their relationships this bad it has been happening since two thousand and sixteen. In turkey and the president of the one sais that this whole trial has been based on made up fabricated evidence that have been provided by an islamic cleric whose name is. Who also lives in the United States and who is believed to be behind a coup. Is worth bearing in mind that relations between turkey and u. S. Have faced a number of hurdles is strongly against american support for critics fighters in syria while washington has refused to extradite for two logo and who accuses of masterminding the two thousand and sixteen cooler temps and in august u. S. Authorities charged president bodyguard with attacking protesters in washington. Middle east expert to ali risk thinks that the turkish leaders latest words could have much wider consequences but this isnt the first time that the turkish president of. Iran makes such fiery statements when it comes to something i think yes its very possible. In the midst of it due to obvious disagreements with the americans and has responded by further strengthen ties with countries like russia and iran where you do have this anti uranium iranian atmosphere which is prevailing in washington and so i think that pushes the entire thing anyone who could be associated with being close to iran if you take it from that perspective that could be politically motivated maybe something more important which we could refer to is this the downward spiral we have in u. S. Ties with the muslim countries in general we already have this mostly muslim anger from the from the streets and now from politicians washingtons relations with pakistan took a look to be turning sour as well protests have broken out in islam about with activists burning american flags and portraits of donald trump the Pakistani Foreign minister says the alliance with the u. S. Is over as his country wont be treated as a quote whipping boy when it comes after washington suspended its Security Systems to the country which has long been its ally in the fight against terrorism in afghanistan we are suspending Security AssistanceSecurity Assistance only to pakistan at this time intill the pakistani government takes Decisive Action against groups including the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani Network we consider them to be destabilizing the region and also targeting u. S. Personnel the United States will suspend that kind of Security Assistance to pakistan are donald trump expressed dismay this week at the u. S. Having paid billions to pakistan over the decades while also accusing the nation of being a safe haven for terrorists in afghanistan between iran sparked a furious response from the Pakistani Foreign minister. Quick reminder that the u. S. Went into afghanistan to remove the taliban back in two thousand and one more than twenty four hundred soldiers have been killed since then and about two trillion dollars has been spent in the conflict and is now considered the longest war in u. S. History veteran political analyst and columnist of. Trumps pakistan a move is an attempt to shift blame for a failed war this is all the pressure tactics because when United States is completely fair enough to understand so its the time and they are finding some lame excuses to put the responsibility of. On pakistan but pakistan definitely have a great sacrifices in the water against terrorism and they have lost a lot of people in this water against terrorism the diplomats you dont want to comes through to enter an event something is going to be cited by the police and not. So then how things go forward and at this time i think that the United States is going to be alone in afghanistan because they will face a very tough time because the taliban has already in afghanistan are divided into the regular sections of various factions or Church International more news after a short break stay with us. Being in debt is to express your true self as an american and part of the western. Culture debt is by definition your identity your credit score is who you are and when you combine social media as are doing in china any time you step out of line if you spit on the subway your social media index is degraded and your cost of funds goes higher and you get deeper into the casino goulet.

Telling me you are not cool enough to buy their product. All the hawks along the border will want. Welcome back this is our two international why from moscow i promised by the french president to move thousands of migrants off the country streets by the end of two thousand and seventeen has fallen flat hed given his word that the homeless would be found shelter but instead many are still living in abysmal conditions facing bitter temperatures and Constant Police pressure. A new year may have begun but for these my quince the problem is still the same ahead is yet another freezing night on the streets of paris. The president said he wanted to resolve the problem by the end of the year its not resolved in the neighborhood there are another thirty camps which are settled like this and these migrants are seeking asylum and there is a problem with violence between the people who are waiting in the queue at the Reception Center because they want to be the first whose fault is that. Its not the fault of the migrants its the fault of the system is poorly organized which has posed problems for two years is completely dysfunctional and creates a situation of confrontation and violence people have been injured at the Reception Office the people are angry at the situation because it continues in the same way and because there is no solution. One of those waiting to find a way off the streets is rafi hes been in france for seven months you look everybodys lips to him he had a very cordial about no forthcoming no water but there were about you know you know when you call your local one hundred one one im a little one another this is my life you know look this man i knew three people to put me on the story. Is this the life you thought you would have to move. Across france thousands of migrants a living in similar conditions all hand to mouth some have found shelter in tents along the canals and streets of paris others in the metro stations all a just looking for a place to call home in the last two years more than forty thousand migrants have set up camp at chavez metro station. And this is even more like a farm its a Reception Center where my kids can read. Its a possibly start to. Run every day hundreds by side just like they face just simply wont cope with the demands despite a pledge that new migrants would be sleeping rough and she wasnt in seventeen president has failed to keep pace promise and my colleagues across the country see no end in sight to their suffering so lets. See paris recording to the latest the data more than one hundred seventy thousand migrants made it to europe by crossing the mediterranean in two thousand and seventeen and france isnt the only country where there is discord over how to deal with the new arrivals austrias far right vice chancellor recently suggested that they should be housed in vacant Army Barracks and a curfew imposed on them. Maybe we could use. This notion was considering he was just going to extensively in the past and should we have a curfew for every micro return to the barracks and. Vice chancellor there and the right wing populist Danish Peoples Party has gone even further it wants a ban on the new mosques in certain areas and it curfew on young people in what they call ghettos now we sounded out an austrian lawmaker and professor of Political Science at Vienna University about their views on the suggestion. This issue is really clearly inhuman its against human rights and its really not a suggestion that someone should think about it and it doesnt help for the integration of these people because as long as they were mixed with the people learning the language and the children attending the same schools that would be there the right political issue of how to deal with these people not just present. In an official place its mainly. About control and about take them out of society really have some european states which would not take any Asylum Seekers and. My guidance and debate now with the European Union to sanction those countries so that quarter system does not a. French president s decision to introduce a lot to battle socalled fake news has had an unexpected twist with a spike in fake news stories appearing online people angered by the new legislation have started posting under the hash tag invent your fake news this tweet for example suggests that a menu microns twitter account has been suspended in another market the idea that the government can offer new Innovative Solutions to a number of crises once weve even said it was microns all the poet who in fact was elected president last year the french president unveiled his plans to journalists in paris on wednesday claiming the country has to protect itself from any outside interference while the people we spoke to in the capital believe that it is not for mccrone to decide what is fake or not. But i will say that the first ones who make fake news are the president ial candidates who do not keep their promises this is the real fake news desk should be banned person who will take care of it is there going to be an anti fake news were you there or something secure in this new here is it not to press a plume since we go more and more in this direction we forbid everything we are prevented from thinking so much that we no longer know how to think for ourselves. The film almost always come back to George Orwells novel nineteen eightyfour with the ministry of misinformation i really feel like will ready for that and the people outside of. French politicians have expressed support for microns move saying that fighting fake news is a way to protect democracy and a method to help promote Critical Thinking and the french minister of culture has also thrown her backing behind a proposed law saying the idea is not about limiting freedom of expression but fighting propoganda earlier we spoke of france based political analyst who says that we have access to enough information to debunk fake news without the governments help this is anti constitutional dont forget that in france the decoration the rights of man or the citizen says that freedom of speech is one of mans most precious rights for sure when mr martin speaks about fake news he is targeting a social network hes targeting free speech on the internet i mean if this really was. About a law condemning fake news then he should start and he was talking to the dryness where he should Start Talking to the journalist or french Mainstream Media who spread freedom fake news on a daily basis and he didnt do that why because a lot of these french Mainstream Media belong to all the guards who are mr martins friend and put him in power everybody has to be able to express themselves and dont forget that we have never had so much access to information today when there is speak news if people are old enough to vote then there and to understand the politics of france or the world today. Then theyre old enough to get information to debunk fake news themselves and they dont need a big brother to do that for them. Saudi arabia has reportedly intercepted a Ballistic Missile fired over the border by humans who the rebels it is said to have been aimed at a military camp in the southern saudi city of. Comes just weeks after saudi arabia finally caved to International Pressure and temporarily reopened a key point and yemen to allow in supplies of food and fuel United Nations says that riyadh blockade and its involvement in the war in yemen has helped create the worlds most grave humanitarian crisis. The summit is the blockade isnt lifted we wont be able even to imagine its consequences humanitarian organizations have already warned of the worst catastrophe in the history of the yemeni people. That we dont know where to get livelihoods on the brink of begging for food people die from starvation i have nothing else to say its cheaper to die and its better than living like this. Saudi arabias intervention in yemen began in two thousand and fifteen it is been backing the government of president against it and its Coalition Partners stand accused of committing war crimes against the yemeni people its airstrikes have crippled much of the countrys infrastructure and the blockade has left around twenty Million People in dire need of food and medical aid we discussed the crisis with representatives from Human Rights Watch and the red cross or as we know that this didnt stand to reopen today thats temporarily. Florimond slow but importantly or crucially the should be no thirty day window because thats what the Coalition Said i mean it has been emphasized repeatedly by the whole human rights and humanitarian community that the force of today that needs to be opened to commercial and humanitarian goods full stop should be no condition or timeline to that i mean keeping such goods blocked and therefore endangering the lives of civilians including women and. Children this is a violation of International Humanitarian law you have to remember that yemen is a country that depends on imports ninety percent of its needs are from imports so when you have three years of it overstating war when you have restrictions on imports when people cannot have enough to eat and to feed their families every day this is when you see the Bigger Picture of things when you look at twenty four Million People who are deprived of the the basic commodities that we all have free access to and the fact that this is handled by the restrictions on the arrival of goods humanitarian aid but most importantly actually commercial goods that are more important than humanitarian aid because you cannot feed a popular population of twenty seven Million People just by providing humanitarian aid. That does it for me ill be back in about thirty five minutes with a full picture news you are watching our journey international. In the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than four knocks customs are here permanently on the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times. It was abducted from his office the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe masterpieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i cant boards and sold inside this warehouse thats where the report comes in it covers a deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet step but also discreet because they concern fraud of some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the Geneva Freeport system youll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand its a matter of confidentiality only is it the worlds black box of the art business. I played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out and. Football isnt only about what happens on the pitch put the final school its about the passion from the fans its the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending to do the twenty million and one player. Its an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chimes for. The base this minute. Hello and welcome to cross talk where all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle if you trust the Mainstream Media well then youre in the minority sadly a great deal of media today is not designed to inform but rather confirms political biases this approach of the news is not only polarizing but its also lowering journalistic standards is this why readers and viewers seek their news elsewhere. Across talking the news im joined by my guest charles or tile in new york he is a private investor and a writer as well as host of the podcast show sunday with charles and in williamsburg we cross to Andrew Langer he is president of the institute for liberty as well as the host of the Andrew Langar show on a. O. L. In baltimore all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it charles let me go to you first i mean one of the reasons why i wanted to do this program is the scandal around brian ross over at a. B. C. And of course that was a horrific mistake and. The perception is there that that wasnt very Good Journalism and its true because he was getting ahead of himself so much so much of the media gets ahead of itself not in reporting information but to further their agenda and in the process theyre damaging journalism the standards of journalism of drop so badly and in the western world right now and i would say and we can talk about this later in the program its destroying institutions that we used to cherish go ahead charles. You know i totally agree with that im actually i started out as an investment banker and about ten years ago i began exposing corporate fraud and then Charity Fraud and i took the scandal which is still not been prosecuted the Clinton Foundation scandal to brian ross through one of his closest friends about about two years ago and he refused to cover no i did the same thing with jake tapper and the same thing with Maggie Haberman the New York Times and what i think you have here is the established media needs to preserve access to the established Political Parties and theyre never going to take an assault as far as it needs to go into the truth you know and he said thats so well put there because there are so many you know we had this unmasking after the election but nobody ever talks about that we have we have the democrats they did not allow access to the d. N. C. Server we know that the democrats and possibly f. B. I. Was paying for this. Dossier theres nobody talks about that in the Mainstream Media its always pushed away because it doesnt further their agenda and instead they go after these myths with what i call a conspiracy without a crime of course im talking about russia gate go ahead and. Well listen there are a couple things that are going on here one of the real problems i see is what we call the twenty four second news cycle everybody is racing to be first with a story they dont care particularly if the story is right if the facts are accurate they just want to be first to the headline because they make their money through whatever click that they can get and thats very difficult to hedge against this i think youre absolutely correct there are certain standards of journalism that simply arm
