7:03 am
tolerate some protesters who want to destroy public property will disrupt public discipline and create turmoil in society that's made hundreds of arrests violent clashes and even deaths and the conflict has now spread beyond iran's borders as international powers give their two cents donald trump unleashed a stream of tweets on the issue accusing the islamic republic of corruption human rights violations and squandering the nation's wealth on sponsoring terrorism hassan rouhani hit back at his american counterpart saying washington has no right to act as if it sympathizes with the iranians when trump not long ago called their country a nation of terrorists iran he cherished nation like few others but if you look closely trump has ever so slightly adjusted his rhetoric he shifted the blame solely on the government while calling for change of course we've known for quite a while what kind of change the trumpet ministration would like to see in the ram our policy towards iran is to push back on the show germany and telling their
7:04 am
ability to develop obvious me nuclear weapons and to work toward support of those elements and shout of iran that would lead to a peaceful transition of that government those elements are there surely as we know so trump may be hoping these protests will be the perfect opportunity to achieve just that but he's not the only one charming in the israeli government has voiced encouraged and for the anti-government protests brave iranians are pouring into the streets. they seek freedom they seek justice they seek the basic liberties that have been denied to them for decades and when this regime finally falls one dude will iranians and israelis will be great friends once again i wish the iranian people success in their noble quest for freedom and what's even more surprising is what's happening on his own doorstep sunday saw thousands gather in tel aviv for a fifth week of anti-government corruption demonstrations just last week over ten
7:05 am
thousand protests and throughout israel yet the media have all but ignored them that israeli probably they're working very hard with america would be stabilized to counter a basically that decision has been very clear and vocal by the israeli they want the united states to actually attack iran militarily so if they can use some incitement they will do but they know they're going to leave it to the united states to do the work on behalf of them and backing protests abroad but ignoring mass demonstrations in your and your allies backyards it may be a new year but good luck waiting for a new approach from the u.s. or israel on that. there's been protests across the region for the last month over the us president's recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital.

out. of the one hundred eighty. critics.
7:07 am
so with showing a little sign a coming right now at least the palestinian leader's parties posted online a guide for youngsters about how to throw stones at security forces the tweet from fox it was later deleted we have reaction from both sides. all what we see now in india terri told us is permanent incitement for people to come and lose and even the last. we saw when they explain to their children children you know what teenagers do to throw stones on the israeli passengers. innocent people in cars and they say don't underestimate the stones it's fossil damage please throw stones and we're usually here listening i'm
7:08 am
gonna answer back listen it's not it's not partial no picking up stones and throwing at the occupier is not a palestinian invention and it's certainly not something that all of a sudden popped up in two thousand and seventeen the fact is palestinian protests throughout the past weeks since the announcement under islam have been peaceful there have been absolutely no use of arms while the israelis have used live fire they have used tear gas this proportionately and in a manner that many have said is not in line with international law or the standards used usually by other law abiding states we are not waking up in the only group follows palestinians to kill or to shoot what we hear on the palestinian policy no communication mean we hear every day incitement to kill israelis launching resize only exploding what do you expect us to do the fact that israel is the
7:09 am
occupying power in palestine is a legal fact it's not up for debate this has nothing to do with opinion it has nothing to do and. certainly has nothing to do with god what happens every day in palestine is the palestinian population confronting and millet. mary that is basically a at the regional superpower a military that has control over every aspect of life for palestinians we confront these israel these soldiers at the checkpoints we have to deal with them when we need to move from one point to another in our own homeland they decide whether we can build our homes or not whether we can keep our schools the control is absolute we do not believe and their conclusion for many bodies this is all capital and i believe that some day. we've come to negotiate us instead of
7:10 am
using terror all against us they'll have a couple in their model for the first time in history policy will ever state side by side by israel and this is what we aim to one palestinian who for the brunt of the police response was this fourteen year old boy saying you screen he'd been hurling stones and i.d.f. soldiers and was injured after them being hit in the face by a rubber bullet back at him his injuries are a step too far though for the boy's cousin who confronted two heavily armed soldiers last week and was then filled kicking and hitting them. so the girl in question the term mimi is no charged with assault on incitement along with her mother the court previously claimed the purpose to danger and put them in custody fathers defending his daughter saying she feels she had no choice
7:11 am
but to take me. to call his self as a freedom fighter what a fighter for the palestinian issue she believes that we must study directly all the time she needs to be over the soldier in the dialect of the egg in the clashes with me. this is what she believed in. for that when i saw her when she saw. the army she became more active more and she one leader by doing. twenty seventeen saw a number of countries tackle independence campaigns from restive regions and they were met with legal clampdowns and sometimes violent force in response next egos down off looks at the referendums that made waves from europe to iraq. for hundreds of thousands twenty seventeen became a hero hope
7:12 am
a year of promise and here of broken trust referendums a cornerstone of many democracies in the ultimate soon of transforming the will of the people into people power in practice has arguably broad far more disenchantment than results. leading up to its vote spanish catalonia saw it all from countless wool sprayed with pro depend is graffiti two million strong demonstrations madrid has never approved of the referendum who ruled illegal under the spanish constitution but when a date was set anyway the future seemed bright for independence forces. you know that that ninety percent at the ballot box said slowly you should break away. we have the right to decide our future we've won the right to an independent state built as a republic. the outcome of the vote was hardly
7:13 am
a surprise and neither was madrid's response. the catalan government was sacked by madrid independence leaders who accused of rebellion and sedition as they fled into exile or were arrested december's snap election brought a slim majority to separatist parties but who the pro union party winning the most seats so almost back to square one and nowhere near the independence promised at the referendum plus a loner who was even banned from lighting its iconic fountains yellow with the colors deemed this session a symbol. iraqi kurdistan is another region that had a short of independence this year and miss two kids came out in force and voted overwhelmingly to secede from iraq then now this is a new era for the kurdish people it's a point and we have to use this is
7:14 am
a big victory but despite the kurds saying yes to independence that's not what the referendum achieved. and those who want spearheaded the push to break way down. having a form that will extend. although the briggs's though took place back in twenty sixteen domine did headlines throughout the last year. the sun would result. in the planned your guy to take jamie. heaslip national bank holiday. and the kind of. bridge that was supposed to have moved far closer than it has by now but instead appears to be phasing drifting further away and this is the divorce process wasn't painful enough prime minister
7:15 am
may spectacularly failed to sweep two of britain's parliament into greenlighting for briggs it plans. in the international trade secretary said brics it negotiations would be the easiest in human history i was the prime minister still agree with that assessment some created. but the fusion can be concluded quickly and then that the commission was trying to pull the british paper about this resolution for twenty eighteen don't get your hopes too high for a friend's arms race today in the midst thrown out to people as a way of involved. having the mass of the population in an important decision but then what happens is after the result has been taken that's the process which is captured by politicians one of the things that i think we have to jason is hope is democracy actually function there's a problem with our democracy there's a problem with with poa law is in our society. mr next about julian assange the
7:16 am
wiki leaks that it has kicked off the new year with a cryptic message he took to twitter with a seemingly indecipherable code and a link to a popular rap song is left many of his followers scratching their heads. so
7:17 am
still a mystery still at it we've got more on the devastating cost of victory in the iraqi city of mosul plus two how a purchase at a mosque a flea market brought two strangers together from very different countries it's a nice story and if you can stay around for it the next fifteen minutes at least. what politicians do something good. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something or want to be rich. have to be right to be cross with what before three in the morning can't be good good. i'm interested always in the waters of my colleagues. this should.
7:18 am
be. the most. seem wrong when old roles just don't hold. any gold that you get to say proud disdain comes to educate and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. again twenty seventeen saw the defeat of i still in syria and iraq but the human cost of the victory is staggering the u.s. coalition air campaign against mosul the terrorist defacto capital in iraq all but raised the city to the ground once
7:19 am
a place where two million people lived hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee many others were buried under the rubble the horrors of war were captured by george butler he's a british artist embedded with the iraqi army. parties don't you hawkins talk to the award winning artist it illustrated about his experiences in that conflict. and what was your first impressions when you when you arrived and became embedded with the iraqi special forces what i found i guess was huge destruction to. civilian life and as ever it's the civilians that.
7:20 am
are losing out more than anybody and they're the ones with the stories and other ones that i as an illustrator and as artist i guess are trying to do to give justice to what was the most difficult or most striking thing that you that you saw there something that really made an impression on you on one side a pile of endless piles of rubble this house has been destroyed in an airstrike and this. came out and bought me a chair to sit on i was touring and just begins to tell a story and isis fighters had fled the mosque next door during. the fight fire fight coming to his home where his family were living and then the iraqi army had called in an airstrike which it so often does in mosul of course killing but also killing his mother two of his brothers and one of their wives this attack actually
7:21 am
happened on the same day that there's an infamous attack hundred sixty people were killed in mosul and the willingness to talk about it and the openness and the normality of it was perhaps the most extraordinary thing and that is that is so so regular i guess is just a different thing to accept you what was before to capture this in your drawing but it is something you really occurred all over the city but a lot of the damage that you see is not done by not done by car bombs or firefights but by a strike that story of people civilians being caught up in that it's obviously very sad but it is happening in mosul over the last few months i just want to ask you on the point of the refugee camp as well you've made one painting in the. amount of recently suffered a heart. just after the second world war. in this tent outside the main refugee camp the conditions the heat. and his wife you can imagine the desperation he hasn't eaten for five days or drunk and. it's
7:22 am
a very private moment this man may well be dying maybe it will be dead by now but you're inviting strangers in into your tent for those last moments on the off chance that they can help for me was a difficult choice whether you whether you engage with that and tell the story or whether you stand out from it because of course the chance of helping is very i think. what memory you will take away from from your time in mosul the one you know impression that really will will stay with you i think it's always this well i suppose it's always been the same and that is. that it is the majority of civilians losing out. hugely. to something that they have no control of over and the lack of that kind of very vulnerable the moment and the lack of choice and the thing that i guess it was to me is that the drawings that i'm doing are done with permission the best drawings i did were the ones that i was very much emotionally attached to the
7:23 am
kind of desire to draw to do justice and draw exactly what was in front of me. a chance finding a camera board in a moscow flea market set one french photographer a seemingly impossible puzzle to solve but she did is the story. sixteen beautiful pictures. black and white pictures which were all about a boy. which apparently an important moment of his life so i've got to found him to find him to to give is photos back to him. there will be a part of that i was at the airport or my friend sent me a photo of a little boy who looked very much like me with a caption saying looking for
7:24 am
a russian boy you know there are so many questions where's these photos come from and why is someone looking for me or who is this elizabeth american to get these photos of your picture that you. found me really. i got a what's up message from dimitri saying i was a russian boy you are looking for. in the end i decided to color by skype and we talked for two hours about everything she turned out to be a very nice woman. but there it turned out that my uncle had given it to his friend to sell it to market we had forgotten to remove the film from a. pretty body elizabeth this planning to come here in february to visit all these places and photos of his written amazing film script for the story that's going to be turned into a documentary i'll do my best to help her. is the idea would be to use
7:25 am
a camera as a literary camera which is a key object in all of that story and use it as a character and really photo you know those of us of the camera and go back to the places where the picture was taken. i'm not looking for fame i just want to share this amazing story with other people so that others might realize their life is not just about politics and includes room for small everyday pleasures. and i story the almost the end of the bulletin for she got some bad news coming from american of fire it seems in new york city a massive fire has broken out an apartment building in the bronx there at least
7:26 am
eleven so far reportedly injured no confirmation of any other casualties of the moment hundred fifty firefighters battling that blaze these pictures just in with more than thirty units deployed to that area at least eight have reportedly been rescued from the building no one else it's thought is in sides hopefully no but you know more bad news coming out from there of course just last week twelve people died in that far in the bronx which was caused by a child play with a stove but back to today's forces we get more details in on that speed but looks like the authorities are on top of it we'll keep you posted all to dot com for our stories and all the headlines twenty four seven for now kevin zero in saying thanks for watching. manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the famous.
