Gunshots in the city of persia and on monday night. Demonstrators defy a Government Social media blackout posting these pictures from cities across iran of damaged cars frightened 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 my goddamn thing john the car 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 is on the money advanced and there are some who are poor and cannot make ends meet what should they do life is really difficult when i have a daughter in. The high prices it 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 that yes 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 it 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 islam and 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 by law 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. And in the pantheon says is often the case weve had more reaction from the us via president Donald Trumps twitter account the people of iran to find the acting he says against the brutal and corrupt Iranian Regime all of the money president obama so foolishly gave them went to terrorism and into their pockets in inverted commas not sure why the people have little food big inflation or human rights the us is watching so this is a pattern whizzing certainly from President Trump in the last couple of days lets talk to the now professor of Political Science at the university of texas joining us from there lets leave donald trump aside and talk about the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei when he talks about irans external enemies fueling this whats he talking about. Ah yes all came all when these protests began on friday they were mostly peaceful and i mean the people have rightful grievances the economy is not doing too well when rowhani took over about five years ago it was expected that out of the result of the nuclear deal the economy would flourish and we would have a significant increase in direct Foreign Investment and while i do not deny that there has been improvements to the economy since rani took power nevertheless it has been much less than what people had expected for example the official Unemployment Rate in iran is twelve point six percent however when you study that in detail the Unemployment Rate for young people between fifteen and twenty nine is actually twenty six point six percent and that is the official rate perhaps its even higher so people have rightful grievances and they have been demonstrating since friday nevertheless what his lightly changed is in the past two days there has been a group of rioters which have become very violent Burning Police stations banks. Tearing down street signs burning cars etc and there has been a change in the kind of people in the protests and this has led the government to accuse both israel and the United States as well those two of us are degree saudi arabia of perhaps exploiting the original demonstrations which were mostly economic or to this rioting which has actually as you mentioned has claimed the lives of twenty two people here and we should talk about that as well this is the simple fact here that twenty two people have died and that is a lot of people to die in protests now the leadership has said they werent tolerate violence but when people protesters die that only fuels i suspect the violence. Absolutely so the rising casualties is something actually very negative for the government because the more casualties there are the more violent it will become nevertheless i think we should distinguish between the Peaceful Protesters which i think i would say are the majority of the protesters and the minority rioters which are looting banks burning down shops etc in that is the leading to violence for example some of these writers have attempted to actually take down Police Stations they actually burned down a Police Station and i would obviously lead to unrest and this is actually something that the socalled foreign powers which of course are not very friendly to iran like the United States and israel can and will exploit of course. We thank you for your thoughts and your time thank you so much. Lot of the pictures were seeing out of iran a coming through social media no surprise there but the risk of rolling out the sort of used phrase sarra fake news is what were seeing everybody take us through what youve been disseminating from all of this yeah absolutely in fact some of the difficulty is that not many journalists can operate from within iran so its very difficult to verify what were seeing on social media plus telegram and instagram just recently broke this week making it a lot harder to communicate with the rain ians of diverse opinions but my colleague me has been doing a bit of research and shes found some examples of videos their own quite what they seem now a video posted on new years eve on twitter allegedly showing Iranian Forces opening fire on protesters its actually from the two thousand and nine rainy and protests and with a quick Search Online youll find the same video posted on you cheap seven years ago in twenty eleven now one of the trending hashtags of in the iranian protests comes out of saudi arabia with a lot of iran related content as well in fact this video is from the same date december thirty first abdullah and saddam from surgery be tweeted saying uranian revolutionary guard ran over protesters but again the same video from two thousand and nine and already been posted on you cheap a year later and take a look at this video says it was filmed in december but these scenes are actually from the protests again in two thousand and nine and heres a picture taken by reuters you can see the same gate motorbikes and burning rubble and the person who posted it actually posted it from california now another fake video doing the rounds on social media is one by a pro israeli account and has had more than a thousand retreats and says the people of iran are waking up but this is actually from a protest from the other side of the world argentina and it was taken last month and if theres still doubt the people in the video are actually speaking in spanish and one last example was this it was of an. Rain in protest says three hundred thousand people march for democracy in iran but as someone else pointed out mohamed he says the demonstration is actually not in iran its actually in bahrain and not in twenty seventeen or twenty eight seen bot twenty eleven and you can even see the behind the flags being waved by the protesters in the streets now lets take a closer look at the accounts sharing the fate content a lot of them are either supporting the u. S. Israel or saudi arabia where leaders of all three countries are public critics of iran having threatened sanctions on the iranian government now heres a tweet by the israeli Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu and he is wishing the rain in people with what he called success in the noble quest for freedom so hes supporting the protesters there and also the u. S. President donald trump in its week said the iranian people are finally getting wise and in a New York Times interview the Saudi Crown Prince previously criticized irans Supreme Leader calling him the hitler of the middle east and of course this isnt to say the prices havent been violent in fact they have on both sides police and protesters and at least twenty people have died.

J. News grid now the spokesman for the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says a new israeli law which makes it harder to hand over parts of jerusalem is equivalent to a declaration of war is ready m. P. s passed that bill which means two thirds of the knesset must now approve giving up the territory under a future peace deal simple majority was previously required comes a day after the party of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu approved a draft resolution that called for large parts of the occupied west bank to be an it so its happening on both sides of the divide here is mohammed in west jerusalem for us to talk us through it actually just do that for us mohammed because it is it does need a little bit of explaining here. Yeah thats right kemal its very complicated lets first try to unpack what exactly was passed in this amendment to the basic law jerusalem as what happened in the overnight hours essentially at its core this legislation means that Going Forward any legislation that the knesset is trying to pass that would deal with ceding any territory or part of jerusalem it would have to be approved by eighty members of the knesset that means that it would take two thirds a super majority thats a change from what it was before when it could be just sixty one members of the one hundred twenty member knesset just a simple majority now this is a contentious bill this is something that has been in the works for quite a while in fact the First Reading of this bill was this past july and so it took until now before they could have the second and third readings of that bill of that amendment that was early this morning what was expected to happen was also the passage of of a portion of this bill that would allow for the changing of jerusalems municipal borders that would mean if that had passed that neighborhoods like neighborhoods like shot shot refugee camp these are both behind the security wall that they would then possibly be placed in a newness a polity meaning that they would not be part of East Jerusalem any longer that brings in the demographics war thats been going on here that would call into question the status of around one hundred fifty thousand palestinians that have been residents of jerusalem what would happen to them would they be able to vote in jerusalem is a power that was pulled at the last minute thats what weve heard from knesset members that weve spoken with today because it was just far too controversial it was going to be too much of a political headache for Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in the rest of the knesset at such a fraught time so what were left with is the original core thing that we spoke about which is making it now eighty members of the knesset as super. Majority must approve any legislation Going Forward that would seed any part of jerusalem that in its essence effectively takes jerusalem off of the negotiating table in any future peace talks actually what im going to do mohamed just quickly is actually illustrate a little bit of that here on a map ive got to jerusalem actually showed this map to you last night on air which was the United Nations one remembering that the purple colored areas of the jewish settlements and the yellow areas of the Palestinian Community so heres an example of which is mohamed pointed out look at that thats the separation wall going through there should others on the other side if you like the west bank side but it does have rights to be part of the jerusalem municipality not that gets taken out well those people will now no longer have access to jerusalem and then further north and i think you mentioned us actually muhammad. You went there today what were people telling you there. Look the reaction that we got kemal from academics and palestinian officials was a negative one they say that this is very dangerous that this is essentially if this legislation were to pass if it becomes part of the knesset vote that the municipality would change and that these neighborhoods would no longer be part of East Jerusalem you know they see that as as basically signaling the end of any type of Peace Process they say that its no surprise that this happened in the aftermath of u. S. President Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel they say that with the vote that happened early this morning once again the israeli officials are signaling that jerusalem is off the table when it comes to any future negotiations that theyre not willing to cede any part of jerusalem to the palestinians Going Forward theyre not surprised by that but they are very disappointed to find out that they believe that possibly in the next week one of the future knesset sessions that there will be this other vote and they do believe that israeli politicians are going to try to change the municipality of these neighborhoods and that really calls into question their rights as citizens where they will be able to travel to if they will be able to vote in future jerusalem elections it really concerns them and it really just brings more uncertainty at a time when there already is so much of him and so much uncertainty ok mama gem dreams in west jerusalem thank you for all of that lets put some of it to isaac herzog joining us from tel aviv he is the labor Party Chairman he is also the official leader of the opposition in the knesset we thank you for your time you vote
