Issues a warning saying the world is watching. They say hes. A moron in. The tell all book about donald trump insists his work is fact as it hits stores early president says its full of lies. First a phone call now the two sides will meet face to face north korea agrees to hold talks with the south. Im joined again. Top story in sports the United Arab Emirates to clinch the biggest prize in middle east football. So then for us to new york where the United NationsSecurity Council has held a special session to discuss the recent antigovernment protests in iran that have killed more than twenty people the United States called a meeting accusing tehran of stifling the voices of its people well the u. S. Ambassador to the opportunity to issue a warning to the iranian leadership. Once again the people of iran are rising up they are asking for something that no government can legitimately deny them their human rights and fundamental freedoms they are calling out think of us if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answering the Iranian Regime is now on notice the world will be watching what you do but as we talk as one of my county joins us from the u. N. In new york and mike tell us more about whats what was said today well we heard there from the u. S. Ambassador making very clear that she is intent on casting the spotlight on what she sees a role as a repressive government within iran attempting to silence the protesters across the country we heard something slightly different from the uns Deputy Political Affairs chief who made very clear that there were incidents of violence that the iranian government had attempted to block Internet Access but at the same time there had been protests both in favor of the government as well as against it also outlining very clearly that at this stage it is the police who are dealing with the protests and not the military we also heard from the french ambassador who use this particular occasion to highlight the importance of the Iran Nuclear Deal the joint comprehensive plan of action this he said was the central tenant in terms of maintaining relations with iran and in terms of governing relations between iran and the rest of the world he also insisted that the protests weve seen recently are a matter for iranians alone. As your president. President it is up to the renia and to the iranians to pursue the path of peaceful dialogue a dialogue based on full respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the rain people. However worrying the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute per se a threat to International Peace and security given the the different views it presents themselves at the u. N. Security council on iran tell us a summary of the mood of the atmosphere in the chamber. Well thats something very interesting that you heard there from the french ambassador saying that this does not represent a threat to International Security basically saying this should not be on the floor of the u. N. Security Council Chamber now the British Ambassador earlier said exactly the opposite he quoted a article within the u. N. Charter charter article thirty four which states very clearly that any event that could lead to some kind of International Threat can be looked at within the Security Council now that particular article we understand has not been used for a very long period of time which makes this particular gathering and some of the members just to be cation for it all the more extraordinary that we are hearing from the u. S. That intent to cast events in iran into the spotlight also from the u. S. Which has been expressed before the real intention to spread the debate away from political protests that have been occurring to iran in the wider region the contention that iran poses a threat to its neighbors and to those further afield that was echoed by the British Ambassador who brought out the issue of irans Ballistic Missiles and of course what he saw as this interference in yemen debate is ongoing Many Disparate views being expressed on this meeting brought together by the United States mike thanks very much indeed mike hanna reporting there from the United Nations the publishers of a new and scathing account of dog troubles first year in Office Release the book early ignoring a legal challenge from the u. S. President to prevent its publication Michael Wolff the author of fire and fury inside the trunk white house says that trump has no credibility the u. S. Leader has branded the book as phony and full of lies and estabrook has the story. Crowd swarmed this washington bookstore at midnight friday snatching up. Copies of fire and fury inside the Trump White House present the crowds are no i cant take your order of the phone politics and prose opened it ten am within thirty minutes eager buyers had nabbed all thirty copies the store had im super excited to read this i went to a couple of different bookstores even midnight last night there was another bookstore selling this they sold out in twenty minutes why are you so interested in this book. Why would i not be interested in this book it is so salacious and to see. Politics die hard and scary to read it at three hundred twenty pages this is a relatively like home but it is filled with explosive material the author Michael Wolff said he spent eighteen months conducting about two hundred interviews with senior white house staff in one passage wolf says former british Prime Minister tony blair offered this nugget of information to the president s son in law jared cushion or there was he suggested the possibility that the british had had the Trump Campaign staff under surveillance blair is denying the claim. Another passage describes a potential change in saudi arabia the president was considering before his trip last spring to the middle east in the days before his departure he was telling people that the saudis were going to finance an entirely new military presence in the kingdom supplanting and even replacing the u. S. Command headquarters in qatar fire and fury wasnt supposed to be released until tuesday but the books publisher move the date up after attorneys for President Trump issued a cease and desist letter threatening legal action in an interview friday morning author Michael Wolff stood by his book and added this observation the one description that that everyone gave everyone has in common they all say he is like a child and what they mean by that is he has it and a need for Immediate Gratification its all about him the white house is labeling fire and fury tabloid trash President Trump wouldnt answer questions about the book friday afternoon but tweeted i never spoke to him for the book full of lies misrepresentations and sources that dont exist still fire and fury is yet another distraction for a white house that is trying to advance among other things a new immigration plan and to spend. Plan to avoid a looming Government ShutdownDiane Estabrook aljazeera Washington Well lets take this on we can speak now to our economy as a political analyst in the all through of the book the civil war which was all about infighting in the Republican Party joins us now live from washington d. C. D. C. And eric full of lies and misrepresentations says the president what do you make of all this yeah i mean actually what were seeing here in washington is actually fire inferi playing out in the streets of washington and inside the white house never has there been a books so highly anticipated so salacious that has everyone talking in fact we havent seen anything like this since perhaps maybe even game change written by halperin and mark. Homan and even that book just didnt have i think the type of mpeg that were saying where you have the white house actually responding and a cease and desist letter from the white house and from this president s own lawyers and so i mean i think what that suggests is that perhaps that not only is there information in the book that the trial that Trump White House doesnt want out there but perhaps theyve struck a nerve that the president is willing to go so far and trying to discredit the author discredit the material in the book and again i think this is a very difficult time for this information and for this book to be coming out particularly when you look at all of the major issues confronting this white house and confronting this congress right ok so which leads us to the question which we seem to have cells many times in the course of the year how damaging is this in fact for the president because his followers will not believe that opponents will and wont that be that only the president sees sales. Well right i mean we have we have we have seen a number of occasions where members of even President Trumps own administration have spoken mockingly or negatively about this president so is there any information in this book that perhaps we havent already seeing come out from numerous of organising. Media outlets that have covered this white house and have spoken off the record to many of the unnamed sources in the white house perhaps not but what we do know were at least from this author and from from the scribe is that heres someone who had unfettered access not only to many members of the senior staff but also to the president himself and so he went behind the veil which even many of the the journalists who are covering the white house on a daily basis simply did not have and what he speaks to is here is that heres an individual who was willing to to use his access but also at the same time blow up that bridge that access to the white house and order to get the story and thats what took place here and i think the president and perhaps many around him who who contributed to this book are now having buyers remorse right because there will be those there are all of those who suggest that wolf is no its a shall we say reliable narrator. That thats right and we do know that hes had a long a long history of very complicated history with Rupert Murdoch who the president we know has also had a complicated relationship with so again youre saying much of the overlap between the author and the subject of the book as well as many other key players who play i think a very central role to the success or even failure of this president all right appreciate that thanks very much indeed speaking to us there from washington d. C. Thanks a lot. The most to come here on the aljazeera news hour including homeless and sick in yemen the u. N. Warns the country faces the worlds worst humanitarian disaster in fifty years.

It is new years day speech said north korea with its Nuclear Weapons program and even called for the mass production of deployment of Nuclear Warheads and this house.

What joining us now from denver is the former u. S. Ambassador to south korea christopher hill. Youve your very experienced in negotiation you are the chief negotiator for the United States in discussions with north korea took part in the Six Party Talks you understand the situation very well what do you make of this Current Situation right now with the suggestion that the talks are going to take place again. Well first of all i think the North Koreans are conducting a bit of a piece of offensive with their neighbors in the south i think its important to understand there are two sets of negotiations one is the socalled six Party Process aimed at the Security Issues the other is socalled peninsula talks aimed at trying to reduce tensions on the peninsula and i think its especially important for the South Koreans right now to engage in these talks after all they have the olympics coming up it is been an enormous investment for south korea both in money terms but also and National Prestige so they rea
