plus women in larger suffer from. a wife who's only feet accepted upon. their own personal film about the suffering of childless women in. true blue streak starting january fourteenth on d w. i am. this is the day of the news live from berlin on t. government protests gain momentum in iran police use water cannon as a radiant demonstration for a second day running people are unhappy with rising prices on corruption but walk to the protest mean for the reigning governments will be speaking to an expert also

coming up. the victims of a gun to stock on a coptic church in egypt are laid to rest the so-called islamic states has claimed responsibility for the attack in cairo. and they saved our views on the world we live in today as the year draws to a close we look back at some of the personalities and famous faces we lost in twenty seventeen. i'm out of donald thank you for joining us. authorities in iran have made arrests in the capital tehran following a second day of anti-government protests across the country social media footage from the western city of kermanshah showed police easing water cannon to disperse demonstrators reports say hundreds in says he had to protest against the high cost

of living and corruption the u.s. president's donald trump has warned the iranian government to respect protesters rights to a saying that the world is watching. but somewhere in this now we're joined by iranian journalists aides come ali dig on and he is with the guardian newspaper in london mistake and you actually specialized in iran and covering this in covering iran what is your take on the scale of the protests i mean these are called reporters to iran i wasn't around in two thousand and nine when there were protest in importers at the two thousand and nine election but many people thought it was richt it gave mahmoud ahmadinejad the former president a second term in office so since then we haven't seen such protests in such a scale across the country especially when i compared to the time it wasn't iran.

the porters in two thousand and one was mainly focused in tehran the capital there as reporters that have been happening in the past two days were started in march in the north east of iran and then it spread to other cities like shaw in the west in the south and the rest of the country and the north so it is quite unprecedented it's quite rare. it is too early to figure out you know if it's going to continue or not but it's definitely very interesting what is it exactly that people are process protesting about this time. well from the slogans that they chanted in mass have as i mentioned earlier it was mainly focused on the economy the president has some rouhani has been able to establish the economy but no sanctions are still sanctions in place and the nuclear related sanctions have been lifted but there are primary sanctions imposed by the us still in place that is helping to rein in the economy iran has

a lot of problems accessing the european banks for example the tier one banks for example so in an inflation especially for inflation is high and poignant for the us is particularly high at forty percent so there's a lot of know disquiet about the state of the economy but there are also political just you know slogans a rare chance in support of the political prisoners in jail for example you know nine years after two thousand and nine there are still people in jail opposition leaders are still under house arrest near us and medicare will be so i think there is disquiet about the political atmosphere in the country as well as the economy ok now as you have said iran crackdown on protesters in two thousand and nine how have response have authorities responded as to this time round. it is not quite clear how many people have been arrested so it's probably too early to say but i mean at least fifty people were reported to have been arrested in mashhad in other cities it's still unclear so we still don't know but there the drive police

have used tear gas in some cities like in terminal shot so there has been a crackdown on the protests have been a rust in toronto as well the authorities even said there was a state news agency have reported a number of people in terror on have been arrested after refusing to disperse so there has been a crackdown but the crackdown in two thousand and nine was particularly very bloody in a number of people were even killed if you remember the girl who became the symbol of iranian partisan two thousand and nine negara assault on for example the old so there has not been any report of those were tallied to this time. so we have to see if the protests are going to continue how the rain ians are going to build with it what is interesting for example today i realized that some of the front pages into iran very few mentioned reporters you know something that the in two thousand and nine ok that was journalist says' taken in london thank you very much for that
