Have moved. On suspected sound you led air strikes in yemen have claimed more than twenty four lives just this week. A very warm welcome you watching the weekly here on r. T. International the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shape the week. Well this week has seen a series of mass rallies in iran both for and against the countrys government it began with protests over the Economic Situation in the country but later these turned First Political and then violence with twenty one People Killed in clashes. Since protests started washington has been openly supporting the outing government activity and ignoring the mass rallies in support of the wrongs leadership the us also called for an Emergency Un Security Council meeting over the situation in iran but other members of the body doubted that internal political unrest in iran is a matter of international security. In the past week what has happened on the ground throughout the nation of iran is something the world must take note of. Given for the last few days in iran maybe they do not constitute a threat to International Peace and security every u. N. Member state is sovereign but Member States cannot use sovereignty as a shield when they categorically deny their people human rights and fundamental freedoms money we counsel should not discuss the issues of any country or its human rights issues if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer the we are witnessing an attempt by some of the locations to bring to the attention of the Security Council issues that do not fully correspond with the mission of this body the United States stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves change in iran will not come from outside it will come from the iranian people themselves nothing will stop americans from standing in solidarity with this. Letter iran deal with its own internal problems since this is precisely what is taking place. In the energy Security Council. The fact that we get holy terms or. Instead is that you know we could were seeing in inverted commas serious situation in iran this is not going to happen this is a pipe dream iran is aware and the experience is that the world faced with the whole crisis in syria which was externally instigated. Learnt secondly the government of iran the system of Islamic Revolution the islamic establishment in iran is not something that was imposed on the people through a military coup or through a dictatorship or anything like this the people came out overwhelmingly in support of this revolution they knew what she was about they understood what america had done to iran. That have to see a check and i have more on washingtons why the fed elective approach when it comes to protests outside of the. When they ask for a better economy when they ask for the government to spend money on their own country as opposed to terror exploits overseas or in other countries sure we would certainly do when they say that to you i support matt im not going to go im not going to see thats why youre trying to trap me into Something Like that im not going to go there to try that is no that is not our that is not our policy but we hear what the iranian people are saying poverty corruption and Economic Uncertainty have the potential to trigger protests in the world over. And they can quickly turn ugly. But the International Reaction to such unrest seems to depend on the country and question this is the precise picture of a long oppressed people rising up against their dictators its a little bit when you have to meet in any country people can protest against high prices but when have a such to mr ations happen in our country opponents of the establishment come out and support them and some western leaders are barely able to contain their enthusiasm for regime change and are rushing to throw their weight behind the demonstrators we are now seeing an organic Popular Uprising organized organized by brave iranian citizens on the Largest Scale since two thousand and nine the great a rainy and people have been repressed for many years they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights the will is being looted time for change and it is essential that western powers return the. American the west the powers. Back in the arena. Because its only with. That being the iranian people are secure and can go all the way to securing their freedom in the of the previous regime but weve seen where this apparent prodemocracy fervor can lead. To. The american president says he supports the protesters but these protests are not protests against the government these kinds of demonstrations happen in any country and they are against rising prices but each time these demonstrations happen we see that the authorities opponents use them for their own purposes the majority in iran i believe want evolution not revolution he will. Spring style which has brought so much suffering elsewhere on the other hand the west seems oddly quiet about the massive rallies that are being held across iran in support of the government to. The root of it is just a canard its the problem of youth unemployment i personally havent been able to find a job for a long time but if people have a job they dont have any problem with the government of course most of irans economic problems are domestically generally but another reason why investment and thus new jobs has been slow in coming is that contrary to their obligations under the Nuclear Agreement western countries notably the United States have not taken sufficient steps to facility normal financial flows when it comes to iran the west says its listening but clearly selectively as coopting democracy for its own ends is a difficult habit to break and especially churkin r. T. London. As the protests in iran began to gain more International Attention and number of fake images were circulated widely on social media the following tweet shows a photo of a woman attacking Police Officers with the caption iran but it turned out to be a screenshot from an iranian movie after being exposed to the man who posted it claimed it was supposed to be symbolic and a video which gained thousands of views and was said to show a march in iran was later proved to be of a protest in bahrain from two thousand and eleven other fakes were perhaps less clear one post claimed to show the uprising when it was actually a photo of a progovernment rally. Hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the north korean crisis are now in sight after the country agreed to hold full talks with its neighbor south korea ahead of the winter Olympic Games but it didnt take long for the u. S. President to take credit for the possible crisis deescalation a lot of people said a lot of people have written that without my rhetoric and without my tough stance and such a stance i mean this is this is what has to be done if it has to be done that they wouldnt be talking about olympics that they wouldnt be talking right now. This week it was confirmed there is north and south korea will meet for their first a few years meeting on the ninth of january will discuss the upcoming Winter Olympics in south but its also hoped it will address recent tensions in the region will be held in a socalled peace village in the Demilitarized Zone on the border between the two countries another diplomatic breakthrough this weeks thaw north korea reopen a telephone hotline with the self that had been closed since two thousand and sixteen and on thursday the u. S. President finally accepted sauls request to postpone joint military drills during the olympics but despite the u. S. Taking credit for a potential deescalation of the crises the dean for darren law school tom brokaws thinks that the white house has actually only made things worse. Moves to have dialogue between north and south korea didnt start a year ago when trump was elected president theyve been going on for some time and i think you know the white house has probably something close to nothing to do with this with the steps i think this is something by the efforts of others in him i think here to the white house and help this progress happen that the white house has really done a lot to endanger it and i think its a credit to both sides in north and south korea that theyve got to stick to open talks to open dialogue and and one only hopes for the sake of the people who live on the Korean Peninsula that some good comes out of that irrespective of what tweets come out of from donald trump. Despite progress being made on the diplomatic front donald trump hasnt pulled any punches when it comes to his twitter exchanges with the north Korean Leader this week the insults reached a new level after the u. S. President bragged about the size of his Nuclear Button and it seems that the donald trump fires when it does matter. Look at those hands are they small. And they referred to my hands if theyre smaller Something Else post baseball i guarantee you theres no problem. The biggest crowds. The biggest Standing Ovations best the best in the world the greatest Health Care Plan very very successful i would build the greatest war you have ever seen i happened to be underrated by the way it. Made me feel a warhead bragging about who has the bigger butt who got the big guns but you should be bragging about the size of your missile. As the first week of two thousand and eighteen comes to an end thousands of michael and saul still on the streets of france waiting for permanent shelter president mike wrong vowed to clear the streets of rough sleeping migrants by the end of last year but his pledge seems to have fallen flat. But the first battle is to house everybody in a dignified manner by the end of the year i want no more women and men in the streets or in the woods last. Artesia do both can speak to my coin flipping on the three still hoping to start a new life in france 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 this. 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 north. No water but there were about you know you know very near lock one hundred one one another one another this is my life. And this man i knew three people sleep with me we hear the stories you hear. 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. This is a boy they come and its a Reception Center where my kids can register its a possibly start a new life new drugs every day hundreds of people fight scientists and his like bass and bass just simply coolant cope with the demands despite a pledge that new migrants would be sleeping rough and she thousand and seventeen president might call and has failed to keep his promise and my clients across the country see no end in sight to their suffering so that you can ski all to see paris. Still to come on R T International its well is offering a strong choice to thousands of african migrants a payment to leave jail but the story coming up. Heres what people have been saying about rejecting the night with the sixtys full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch just leave yampa is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than the blues nothing is better i see people youve never heard of love redacted the night my president of the world bank so are you going to write me seriously send us an email. What politicians do you should. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or some want to. Have to go right to the press which you like before you the more people that im interested always in the waters of my house. There should be more. Welcome back yemen has been the target of yet another sound he led strike the second so far this year according to local media one person was killed in the least three more were injured the strike on the arab worlds poorest country took place on saturday morning hitting a busy market in the Northern Province of solder it comes after yet another its hard con january the first when more than twenty people were killed in the major port city of data. It would. Be. Important to have not turned to work in lieu of suffer from the cold and. I was given a place to sleep where some people to warm up on hot days for sleep right on the sidewalk. You. Believe. There is no help comes very rarely once a year maybe but now we have no health or blanket. People sleeping or along the. Routes campaign in yemen is now in its third year the devastating war has claimed ten thousand lives and displaced more than three million saudi that strikes have also obliterated much of the infrastructure and its blockade of the countrys ports has left around twenty million in dire need of food and medical aid. Saudi arabia recently allowed a key port in yemen to be temporarily reopened allowing in supplies of food and feel however locals there say supplies have yet to arrive we discussed the disastrous that you ation with the red cross its a country that depends on imports ninety percent of its needs are from imports so when you have three years of sitting war when you have restrictions on imports and 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 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 population of twenty seven Million People just by providing humanitarian aid. Except to pay off all go to prison is where it is offering african migrants money to get out of the country the israeli Prime Minister has labeled them infiltrators and said force will be used if they dont comply. Show me something here that is completely legal and completeness and then for traitors have a clear choice cooperate with us and leave voluntarily respectively humanely and legally all have to use other legal tools our disposal of the trees to cooperate with us. Well those migrants who voluntarily agree to leave by the end of march are being promised a three and a half thousand dollars on a plane ticket they have the option of returning to their home country or going to a third one the alternative is incarceration well israeli or thora tae say most of the migrants came for economic reasons that despite the fact that they claim to have fled persecution and war at home officials estimate that around sixty thousand migrants have crossed the border from egypt since two thousand and five a third of those have already been deported of those that remain nearly one and a half thousand are held in Detention Centers one of those Detention Centers and whole lot some referred to as an open air prison. The whole lot i just exist its not a normal life to live in a lot is not easy ten people sleep in one room you have to queue to take a shower to do anything the doctor is only here from one to three theres only one doctor for about twelve hundred people and why did i leave eritrea because eritrea is a dictatorial country i couldnt live there you cannot do anything that you work there like a slave for them its all you can do you can only call it slavery and first i didnt choose to come to israel i didnt think about anything i just wanted to see where theres peace where i can take care of myself where i can protect myself as soon as the deportation plan appeared to the Un Refugee Agency where mind of israel about its duty to protect those who need it we invited two guests to debate the issue. Not refugees theyre criminals who crossed the border illegally and theyve done quite a long way they didnt want to stay in egypt for example for some reason they crossed for via so done via egypt they came to use rail theyre not refuges not they salame seacrest they want to benefit from our rich from merciful society they are looking for rescue in their spirit didnt do Anything Possible to save their lives some of them of course behaved fine and theyve benefited the government of the world pays each one of them thirty five hundred dollars puts them i
