Is this the life you thought you would have. Suspected strikes in yemen have claimed more than twenty four lives just this week. Live from moscow just gone eleven pm now in the russian hawkins thanks for joining us this hour now 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 political and then violent twenty one people have been killed in the clashes. Since protests began washington has been openly supporting the antigovernment activists and ignoring the mass rallies in support of irans leadership the u. S. Also called for an Emergency Un Security Council meeting over the situation the 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. 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 every un member state is sovereign but Member States cannot use sovereignty as a shield when they categorically deny their people human rights and fundamental freedoms. The council should not discuss the internal 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 we are witnessing an attempt by some delegations 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 them. You know. That iran deal with its own internal problems since this is precisely what is taking place you are wasting the energy of the Security Council. The fact that we get wholly turns around and says that you know we can 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 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 very knew what shahr was about they understood what america had done to iran. Well artys and as the has more on washingtons selective approach when it comes to protests outside the us borders. 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 mat 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 for that is not that is not our that is not our policy but we here with the iranian people are saying poverty corruption and Economic Uncertainty have the potential to trigger protests 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 on you know i mean in any country people can protest against high prices but when have a such to muster ations happen in our country opponents of the establishment come out and support them 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 iranian 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 it is essential that western powers to bring to the. American the west the power is. Back in the arena. Because its only with. That being the iranian people 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. Yes. The american president s 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 or up. Arrow 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. Or 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 new jobs have 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 associates youre going to artsy london. Are the protests in iran began to gain more International Attention in a number of fake images was circulated widely on social media lets take a look at some now the following tweet shows a photo of a woman attacking police its captioned iran it turned out to be a screenshot from an iranian movie after being exposed the man who posted it claimed it was supposed to be symbolic this video was going thousands of use it was said to show a march in iran it was later proved to be a protest in bahrain all the way back in twenty eleven or some other fakes or perhaps less clear one post claim to show the uprising but it was actually pro government running. Hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the north korean crisis side are in sight after the country agreed to hold formal talks with its neighbor south korea ahead of the winter Olympic Games it didnt take long though for the u. S. President to take credit for the possible crisis deescalation but of people have 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 thirty wouldnt be talking about olympics that they wouldnt be talking right there this week it was confirmed that in a few days north and south korea will meet for their First Official talks in two years the meeting on the ninth of january will discuss the upcoming Winter Olympics in south korea also hopes it will address recent tensions in the region it will be held in the socalled peace village in the Demilitarized Zone on the border between the two countries and another diplomatic breakthrough this week saw in north korea reopen a telephone hotline with the south its been closed since twenty sixteen and on thursday the u. S. President finally accepted seoul request to postpone joint military drills during the olympics despite the u. S. Taking credit for a potential the escalation of the crisis the dean for darren last call tom brooks thinks that the white house has actually only made things worse. These 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 these steps i think this is something by the efforts of others and not of him i think here to the white house and help this progress happen the white house has really done a lot to endanger its 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 some good comes out of that irrespective of what tweets come out of from donald trump despite that progress being made on the diplomatic front still trump doesnt pull any punches when it comes to his twitter exchanges with the north Korean Leader this week the insults reached a new level after the president bragged about the size of his Nuclear Button it seems the final trump science really does matter. Look at those hands are they small i. Referred to my hands if theyre smaller Something Else must be sprawled i guarantee you this is no problem. I have the biggest crowds at the biggest Standing Ovations best the best in the world the greatest Health Care Plan very very successful i would build the greatest world you have ever seen finest 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. Bragging about the size of your soul i. Was the first week of this year comes to an end thousands of migrants are still on the streets of france waiting for permanent shelter president my call to vote to clear the streets of roughly by the end of last year. For the flat. The first battle is to house everybody in a dignified manner and by the end of the year i want no more women and men in the streets or in the woods lost. In paris shes been speaking to some moderates living on the streets 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 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 nor forthcoming no water but there were about you know you know very well in here local one hundred one one another one another this is my life. This my life three people to put me in 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 are 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 more like a farm its a Reception Center where migrants can register. Its a possibly start to. Run every day hundreds spew up my side and his like thinks the base just simply wont cope with the demands despite a pledge that new migrants would be sleeping rough and that she thousand and seventeen president might call in this failed to keep pace promise and migrants across the country see no end in sight to their suffering so that you can ski all see paris still to go with the program as well as offering a stark choice to thousands of african migrants a payment to leave or go to jail will have more of that story plus more off to this very short break stay tuned here at all to international. Altie we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and youre better than a legend to keep it so its at the back. In ninety ninety two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and im hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r. C. C. Recently ive had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that Peter Schmeichel will be on the best form since my last world com i think that steroids were three. Thousand zero zero zero zero zero i call russia. Nice drive. Not a left left left more or less ok stop thats really good. Welcome back to the program and yemen has been the target of yet another saudi led air strike the second so far this year according to local media one person was killed at least three more have been injured the strike on the arab worlds poorest country took place on saturday morning hits a busy market in the Northern Province of solder this comes after yet another attack on january the first when more than twenty people were killed in the major port city of data. I am poor i have no tender i can live i suffer from the cold. I was given a place to sleep when some people to warm up on hard to sleep right on the sidewalk. There is no help comes very rarely once a year maybe but now we have no help or blanket is tattered fifteen people are sleeping on a. Real campaign in yemen is now in its third year there are stating war has claimed ten thousand lives and displaced more than three Million People saudi led strikes have also obliterated much of the infrastructure and its brocade of the countrys ports has left around twenty million in dire need of medical aid saudi arabia recently allowed a key port in yemen to be temporarily reopened so essential food and fuel could be brought in the locals though say supplies have yet to arrive the red cross is calling for the blockade to be further lifted. As a country that depends on imports ninety percent of its needs are from imports so when you have three years in 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 more 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. Accept a payoff for go to prison thats the choice being offered by israel to african migrants to accept the money or leave the country the israeli Prime Minister has labeled them infiltrators and said force will be used if they dont comply. Well something here that is completely illegal and completely essential infiltrators have a clear choice cooperate with us and leave voluntarily respectively humanely and legally or well have to use other legal tools at our disposal i hope to choose to cooperate with us. All those migrants who voluntarily agreed to leave by the end of march so being promised three and a half thousand dollars as well as a plane ticket theyve got the option of returning to their home country or going to a third one the alternative is incarceration now israeli Authorities Say and most of the migrants have come for economic reasons thats the spite the fact they claim to have fled persecution and war home now officials estimate around sixty thousand migrants have crossed the border from egypt but just since twenty fifth two thousand and five a third of those have already been deported of those that remain nearly one and a half thousand are currently being held in Detention Centers one of those centers is a lot which some are referring to as an open air prison. System. The her the whole lot are 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 i mean why did i leave eritrea because eritrea is a dictatorial country i couldnt live there you cannot do anything there 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 the Un Refugee Agency reminded israel about it duty to protect those who need it we invited two guests to discuss the controversial issue. And 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 Salim Seacrest they want to benefit from our rich from our merciful society they are looking for rescue in their spirit in do Anything Possible to save their lives some of them of course behaved fine and theyve made it here that the government of heres the world pays each one of them thirty five hundred dollars puts them in the nature of the environment whatever they are from or close to there i think israel must be admired and praised by everybody by doing so how we face the problem socalled problem of some city seven thousand Asylum Seekers refugees who lift part of them have children here they should stay here they have to stay you know human regime would experience and if israel is going to expel them by force it will be one of the most shane still ever taken note less than this. Place instead of thanking israel for the years they spent here earned money and were treated by the way by israeli medicine which is one of the best in the world instead of thanking they what theyre going to protest theyre going to do it and then they cant come back but by the way the stories whoever they are theyre welcome everybody is welcome but you have to keep the law they broke the law provide to time its also good to stick to fix and the fact is the rate of crime but among those migrants is much lower than the ever a trait of crime it is good it is not true oh its absolutely no new. Those. False statement im not going to speak as though because this man is interrupting me eighty percent over the i would say in europe are recognized as refugees less than one percent how can you call it but racism how could you. Well so had lines file from myself on the team here at all t. To check out our website for more news of course were back with more global headlines in about thirty five minutes.
