everybody stephen ball. hollywood guy the suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v.'s to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. you know no doubt with all the drama happening in our country i'm sure good to have some fun every day americans. and the start to bridge the gap this is the great american troops which.

i will come back this is our team international the president of iran has addressed the nation for the first time since protests erupted across the country said that people are free to express their views but must avoid violence also hit back at president trump for accusing iran of supporting terrorists as after the latest provocative tweet from the u.s. leader. big broad test in iran the people are finally getting why is this to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism looks like they will not take it any longer the usa is watching very closely for human rights violations. iran is seeing its most severe unrest since two thousand and nine it started as a protest over soaring prices and unemployment and spiraled into brutal street clashes two protesters were killed in the road in the west of the country on sunday but the circumstances of their deaths are unclear and officials say security forces have not used that lethal force on demonstrators and the local governor has accused

foreign powers of stirring up trouble. deploying we have found evidence of enemies of the revolution type fieri groups and foreign agents in this clash take phiri is a full sunni militants especially islamic states in this situation violent clashes broke out in the illegal demonstration in city and unfortunately two people were killed no shots were fired by the police and security forces and the goal was for this rally to finish peacefully. the u.s. state department says it is closely following the situation in iran and also condemned any arrests and claimed the protests are peaceful however the latest pictures coming out of iran seem to suggest otherwise in this video obtained by our video agency ruptly you can see a police station being torched so far no information on any possible injuries back in june with the u.s. secretary of state made it clear though and washington is willing to support people resisting it the iranian government. our policy towards iran is to push back on the

show germany contain their ability to develop obviously nuclear weapons and to work towards support of those elements inside of iran that would lead to a peaceful transition of that government those elements are there surely as we know what they are looking for is the legitimize the iranian politics the iranian stablish mina's well as iran regional military build up and presence in syria in iraq and elsewhere in order to impose further sanctions on the country and all. also in order to village's them is the iranian policies on the international scene in favor of the united states they are trying hard through their media outlets and through some social media outlets that they are you know running and funding to politicize the unrest so into iran people are now angry at the

ministration because president rouhani had promised them to strike a deal with the united states to resolve all the konami problems that was the wrong attitude he was already you know warned against giving such big holes to the nation because everyone knew that the united states would not remain loyal to the deal and this happened unfortunately the united states defied all its undertakings under the nuclear deal and the president has failed in meeting you know his promises now people are angry to see that they are angry that he has invested all the country's power and future in the united states loyalty to the deal and they have come to realize that this is not going to happen. the small passenger plane has crashed in a mountainous area of costa rica killing all twelve people on board the aircraft was carrying ten american tourists sent to local pilots these pictures showing the burning wreckage were released by the coast to rican public safety ministry the

nature air charter flight it took off from a point on sunday and was heading for san jose the cause of the crash is being investigated and the u.s. state department is working with local authorities to identify the victims. austria's new chancellor says the e.u. migrant relocation quotas are not helping solve the refugee crisis sebastian curds believes is the problem should be handled in the migrants home countries. migrants who set off for europe don't want to go to bulgaria are hungry they want to go to germany austria or sweden they should be helped in safe areas in their own continent the e.u. should support that perhaps even organize it and back it militarily. i've been similar calls in the past from other european leaders last month french president manual macron proposed military action to help people trafficking in libya but. dollars from the damascus center of strategic studies believes such an approach is

deeply flawed. to send troops or european armies to protect these. virtual safe zones i think it's not practical in first of all these armies would be involved in the internal affairs of this country and their reaction from the law people will be may be negatively they will lose a lot of. soldiers first so i think to be engaged in internal adverse of any county it would be reflected on their internal affairs and i think they should read very good the story of syria during seven years they should read this story of libya the story of him and the story in africa and. this is a good approach these pictures show how desperate some migrants are trying to reach

italy sorry excuse me france from italy by crossing the alps they're battling freezing temperatures in often inadequate clothing trying to seek a better life in europe european leaders are now increasingly looking towards the migrants home countries but some. believe that they are using the crisis to exert their influence in the region you have been you know they are feeling that they are . outside of the political settlement now example in syria they are outside in libya they started the gershon against libya then they became not a. player in internal affairs of libya in yemen this. maybe in africa we can all see that the role is very important so because of the trying to. to. rule in the mideast. israeli court has extended the detention of

a palestinian teenager and her mother after the girl was caught on video hitting two israeli soldiers sixteen year old timey confronted the two soldiers in front of the house in the west bank an hour after her cousin was hit by a rubber bullet a video of the incident went viral. yeah. well the footage shows along with one of her cousins kicking and shoving the i.d.f. soldiers her mother can be seen in the video as well her cousin was also arrested but released after forty eight hours the trio was angry after another of the cousins a fourteen year old boy was hit in the face by an israeli rubber bullet heads father has defended his daughter's actions to put his head physically the what if i thought for the palestinian issue she believed that we must study for the time

she needs to be. in the. in the clashes with me. this is what she believed in. for that when the. head when she saw. me she became more they gave more and she won the needed to fight. we requested a comment from the israeli defense force on the girls' case the i.d.f. said she is being investigated for suspected assault of a soldier and also for throwing rocks former i.d.f. soldier henri weisberg gave us his views on the case. what happened last week and the video that's gone viral with her slapping and pushing two soldiers. is not part of a protest it went much more viral once they showed up. later on a few days later early in the morning and arrested her

a sixteen year old girl for pushing somebody who was without any sort of authorization standing on her property image of a fearless young woman she's sixteen standing up to fully armed soldiers and the soldiers if you notice they come into these villages and i did when i served in the i.d.f. as well fully armed for battle the heavy military presence which in palestinian communities is thirty years old. the amount of force is overwhelming these soldiers are only partially trained for doing what are essentially police duties but you notice they are in full battle dress they don't look like police men i don't think that the i.d.f. sees itself as in a precarious position tensions have escalated in the region since december the sixth when donald trump announced he would recognize jerusalem as israel's capital in response palestine is now recalling its on voyage from washington the four week

standoff between israelis and palestinians has left more than a dozen dead and two thousand injured. if you feel.

this is the floor it's friday rates actually palestinians all over gaza strip east jerusalem and the west bank are demonstrating and protesting against donald trump's declaration days right behind me is throwing tear gas canisters on the protestors as since the morning since that announcement was made. well you can smell the tear gas from here so those terms made that announcement fourteen palestinians have been killed and those figures according to the palestinian health ministry they also report that more than three thousand people have been injured it's escalating its uprising but that is right the army has been

at throwing tear gas canisters all the. testers are running away from the buffer zone fans and the israelis have been shooting live i mean a stand out probably it's because one that's landed very very very close to where he was standing so. the situation here like it has been for the last month. quite tense and we can certainly smell tear gas every way that you guys that you know. there were at keast five ambulances that. floor are three injuries and that there's a from this hour i'll be back in about thirty six minutes with a full of two news we're watching march international from two thousand and ten.

los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man phoned his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on
