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 i think i working but in this society i'm 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. and there are some who are poor and cannot make ends meet what should they do life is really difficult i have a daughter and son both at school the high prices really put me under pressure at home u.s. president donald trump has tweeted that iranians are hungry for food and freedom

and that's led to protests outside the white house demanding the removal of president rouhani yes iran's supreme leader says the country's enemies are to blame for fueling the protests. 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 yes lama public and the islamic revolution. on monday night protestors also continue to demonstrate against iran's support for syrian president bashar al assad as well as in lebanon and hamas in the occupied palestinian territories iran's republican guard is threatening to stop the demonstrations but there are still calls for more protests rob matheson al jazeera. is a visiting fellow at the brookings doha center and an associate at the harvard

kennedy school project. there at the protests are a backlash against iran's economic problems. clearly the slogans are and to regimes they target all factions of the republic or factions of the establishment this time around so we have a lot of you know activism on the streets people from different different social strata especially the lower middle classes going in or out on the streets and we are facing have put a repression from the regime side as well so this is something that is that we have to watch i'm not surprised given if you have been objectively following the socio economic indicators in iran where you see a huge portion of the population perhaps you know people are talking about half of the population living around the poverty line and who have not been benefiting from either the reformist politics or the rani presidencies politic economic policies

neither from the conservative side on the other hand you have a fundamental lack of the mock rattled rights in iran is so if you take all the structural factors plus the contingent factors the more recent factors so the government's response to the earthquakes student and labor protests and most recently the budget announcement of the rwandan government that was not really addressing those socio economic and political grievances which is you know which which i ask you later the situation and so if you take the structural and convention contingent factors you cannot be very much surprised. the pakistani government has summoned the u.s. ambassador after president on threatened to cut off aid and using pakistan of giving safe haven to terrorists under pressure from its neighbors as well as the

u.s. pakistan is now planning to take control of charities and financial assets linked to a man considered a terrorist by many countries the u.s. and india say half a saint was behind the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai that killed more than one hundred sixty people that are actually going to. there's a ten million dollar reward for any information leading to the conviction of half is site yet here he is at a rally last week protesting u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel the united states believes saeed is the mastermind of the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai over the course of four days attackers used automatic weapons and grenades to kill more than one hundred sixty people say he has denied involvement in the attacks and a court in pakistan found there was insufficient evidence to convict him and twenty

seventeen he was put under house arrest for violating anti-terrorism laws when he made his release prompted outrage from pakistanis and the u.s. government which is long been critical of pakistan when it comes to clamping down on terrorism the pakistani government has targeted saeed's assets and charities they include three hundred schools hospitals ambulance services and a publishing house the government is blocking fund raising and there are plans to assume control of them the un security council has also banned two of sedes organizations pakistan is under pressure and their fire this new decision. has come after the british show by the americans by you and by india. this is a challenging time in pakistan u.s. relations we must see decisive action against terrorist groups parading on their territory. and we make massive payments every year to pakistan they have to

help pakistan says moving in on saeed's groups isn't bowing to u.s. pressure it's intended to fulfil its international obligations reuters reports that pakistan was worried it would face u.n. sanctions for failing to crack down on terrorist groups later this month a un security council team will visit to check on its progress natasha going to aim . well let's get off my correspondent muslim children who is in washington d.c. reza why his he's getting seeming a more aggressive towards pakistan. well it's really not clear why the u.s. president donald trump decided to use his first tweet of two thousand and eighteen to attack the pakistani government but suffice it to say this is something where the trumpet ministration essentially has conducted what might be considered

a continuation of the obama administration policy which is a lot of tough love for islam abad there's a lot of suspicion that pakistan still isn't doing enough to cut down on groups such as the taliban. she was trying to root out these groups not only from their territory but to make certain that they don't make inroads into afghan into afghanistan which is still large line to maintain some sort of sense of control over its own territory it's also worth pointing out that even though the president talked about withholding the military related aid from pakistan that money has been on hold since last august some five months again because the u.s. doesn't believe that the pakistani government is doing enough one to crack down on these groups and two that it's not doing enough with its own intelligence service to try to break the ties between that group which many analysts here in the u.s.

suspect has been propping up these groups now i think pakistani government has cut off the funding of signing it half a signing and do you think this one is go some way to appeasing chaunce reaction to them at the moment. so it's probably fair to say that it's just going to be the first of many steps that the u.s. government would want to see i mean we heard in our going to ames report that there is a ten million dollar belt on head because of his alleged role in planning the mumbai attacks back in two thousand and eight at least two americans were killed in that attack and so obviously the u.s. government wants to bring him to the u.s. for trial to hold him accountable for those americans deaths and so there's going to be i would presume much more that the pakistanis would have to do to satisfy the u.s. government we are expecting to hear both from spokespeople at the white house and

from the state department later on tuesday and we may have some more insight but i think it's fair to say they would like him behind bars many fantasize in jordan that's not for some washington d.c. the spokesman for palestinian president mahmoud abbas says a new israeli law which makes it hard as a hand over parts of jerusalem is equivalent to a declaration of war israeli m.p.'s pass the bill which means two thirds of the knesset must now approve giving up territory and refuge or peace to the simple majority was required previously it comes a day off of a party of prime minister benjamin netanyahu approved a draft resolution that calls for large past the occupied west bank to be annexed well isaac herzog who's the leader of the opposition in the israeli parliament criticised the new law and said it would have no impact on daily life in jerusalem . what the bill has it has a political ramification on behalf of the political bodies and immense in the

israeli political scene who say we should make sure that nobody negotiates anything to do with jerusalem so that's a political question for the future it has no bearing on anybody's daily life in jerusalem now does it have any effect on the israelis per se i can tell you that it was only a kind of a very tiny minute item on the israeli national agenda today although it's made headlines and that's part of our criticism about it because it's a useless law with no real impact on anybody not to mention june has more from occupied east jerusalem. there are so many questions being asked about the impact of this new law what we do know for sure is that number one this law would mean that a supermajority or eighty of one hundred twenty knesset members would be needed for approval of any future legislation when it comes to giving up territory in

jerusalem that's instead of the sixty one or simple majority members of the knesset that are needed or that were needed before now that makes a big difference because in effect that essentially takes to roussillon off the negotiating table and any future peace talks now the second and perhaps more contentious issue this brings up is that this could potentially allow for the changing of jerusalem's municipal borders that means that neighborhoods like one behind me call for as well as the shroud the refugee camp neighborhoods that are both behind the wall they would no longer potentially be part of the jerusalem municipality that raises a lot of questions about what would happen to the residents there that are now considered residents of east jerusalem would those residents continue to be residents of jerusalem where they continue to be residents of israel would they be able in the future to vote in jerusalem elections many questions at this hour we've spoken to lots of analysts lots of lawyers there scratching their heads about it as well essentially this raises many issues about over one hundred thousand

palestinians that are in neighborhoods like this that don't really know going forward what their residency status or other status are going to be bringing a lot more uncertainty into an already very uncertain time. still to come on the program by the archives and history of africa africa's youngest country south sudan is under attack and we visit a school which is trying to help some of the tens of thousands of young students homeless in new york. how the weather looks rather disturbed across eastern parts of the mediterranean into the levant we've got a fair amount of cloud and rain coming through here and in this area well fifty one millimeters of rain coming down twenty four hours and there's more where that came from actually it's a little bit of a mobile flow some about westerly flow pushing the cloud and the rain further east

the school has a laundry room paid for with grant money so families struggling with the high cost of housing in new york have a place to wash school uniforms the number of homeless students in new york city has been rising along with the general homeless population in the last year one in ten students spent time either in the city's shelter or living with relatives this presents a unique set of challenges not only for the families but also for the schools that serve them. because homeless students have higher rates of absenteeism and lower test scores advocates for children say the city needs more social workers for the one hundred schools where more than ten percent of the population is homeless we saw in new york city that more than half of students living in shelters were absent for twenty or more school days over the course of a year that means that they miss about. the equivalent of

experiencing conflicts for more than twenty years slowing down sometimes even halting the collection of archives and with a illiteracy rate of seventy three percent many south sudanese don't know much about their history the man behind the project has selected some of the collection to be put on display many here say they're learning about their country for the first time i mean this in these archives are teaching me about what has been written down i'm learning my country's history anyone can read and learn about their heritage but preserving the archives is mostly done with help from donors and as the work continues discovering many details of south sudan's past has to be put on hold. it's true that different outbreaks of conflict have caused some delays to the projects and of course because the donors have to also realize. their strategies for reacting to those issues so normally when you find out they're in specific parts of town and for an archive they need a proper home these documents are very fragile some of them are over one hundred years old. over one hundred years old but to use it and many others there are
