perhaps meaningful lyrics to a rap song to. get his followers guessing on twitter. very good afternoon from a kevin oh is this i just to five this to choose to the second of january moscow welcome to our latest live update from h.q. with me kevin oh in a first for tracking what's happening in iran nine people were killed overnight as protests continue to hit the country got some footage to show you from the southwestern town of shah the guy where protesters clashed again with security forces overnight.

of course live had to run to get the latest update from a journalist alledge a furry hi there ali thanks you time today bring us up to speed then this is a firm fast moving set of incidents happening there where where is it as we stand today. with the number of people who died in the these are has risen to twenty one one police officer was killed last night three of other security agents their wounded badly in a few cities and unfortunately some innocent people a father and son in one city and again a father and son and there was another certainly they are also all killed john. the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack it can infiltrate look at the recent days incidents all those who are at

odds with the islamic republic have utilized various means including money weapons politics and intelligence apparatus to create problems for the islamic system republic and these like revolution. yes yeah i don't know if you caught that that was a grab of mr hellman a and his thoughts on what was happening again continue for us if you would where it's going as far as the authorities see it. i guess we've also got some people to talk to the have been on the street we'll get to that in a minute but back to you in the thought. how many on this. well the leader of the islamic revolution actually what eight months ago he

predicted all these in a speech that he had and said that the enemies had to have been always looking for the slightest opportunity to capitalize on meaning that we ought to be very very have bacon very big deal about it and he's predictions analysis turned out to be exactly correct and that's why you have the current on the wrist and actually i should say that we should not be surprised given the fact that iran was a major player in frustrating all the major plans of the u.s. and israel had indicated so this was well expected. all right thanks for that i gather that we're going to show some. people on the streets there and their latest thoughts and it will get back to a bit later but thank you for. what we want to ron's biggest protests nearly a decade of getting encouragement from its major political rivals the u.s.

and israel more from jacqueline vogel. what began as discontent over economic hardship and alleged corruption in the room has evolved into massive nationwide anti and pro-government demonstrations iran's president came out saying citizens have the right to protest as long as it's done peacefully you know. in recent days we have witnessed protests and everyone must be aware of this point that we are a free nation and according to the constitution and human rights the people are absolutely free to criticize the government and even protest the government will definitely not 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 that long ago called their country a nation of terrorists iran he chairs the 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 contain their ability to develop obviously 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

encouragement for the anti-government protests the 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 thousand protested throughout israel yet the media have all but ignored them that israeli probably they're working very hard with america would be stabilized and 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. they've been protests in the region for the last month in fact over the u.s. president recognition of the israeli capital. another

line all this this outrage over reports that the palestinian leader's party is instructing youngsters on how to hurl stones at israeli security forces we got reaction to that at all what we see now in india terry call these is permanent incitement for people to come and claim about is that i lose and even the last

pulse we saw when they explain to their children children you know what i mean teenagers. just throw stones on the israeli passengers in the sense of people in cars and they say don't underestimate the stones it's a fact of damage please throw stones on the israelis and well he he said. listen and answer back listen it's not it's not proportional 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 of followers palestinians to kill or to shoot what we hear on the palestinian. communication mean we hear every day incitement to kill israelis launching. exploding what do you expect us to do the fact that israel is the 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. it certainly has nothing to do line with god what happens every day in palestine is the palestinian population confronting a military that is basically with a 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 neither could commission form any body this is all capital and i believe that some day east policy students will come to negotiate us instead of using terror against us they will have a couple in our model for the first time in history policy will ever state side by side and this is what we aim to. well one palestinian felt the brunt of the police response was this fourteen year old boy who screens now he had been throwing stones at i.d.f. soldiers and it seems he was injured after being hit back in the face by a rubber bullet the boy's injuries were too much for his cousin to bear though she

confronted two heavily armed soldiers last week over it and that was filmed filmed filming her kicking and hitting them check it out it is. what. god. said to me it's now been charged them with assault incitement over that along with their mother the court previously claimed that the pair posed a threat and put them in custody it's father has defended his daughter saying she felt she had no choice but to take the action you just saw the local is. what a fighter for the palestinian issue she believes that we must study or the time she needs to be on the floor of the sword in the day i think that they're in their classes with me. this is what she believe in. for that wouldn't be where i

saw her when she saw. the army see it became more there more and she won that it was five the. twenty seventeen saw a number of restive regions launching campaigns for greater autonomy or independence and they were met with legal clampdowns and sometimes violence in response it was done of wraps it up looks at the referendums that made waves from europe to iraq. for hundreds of thousands twenty seventeen became a hero hope a year of promise and a year of broken trust referendums a cornerstone of many democracies and the ultimate tool of transforming the will of the people into people power in practice has brought far more disenchantment than results. leading up to its vote spanish catalonia saw it all from countless walls sprayed with pro dependence 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 catalonia should break away. we have the right to decide our future we've won the right to an independent state billed as a republic. the outcome of the vote was hardly a surprise and neither was madrid's response. was. the current government was sacked by madrid independence leaders hook used of rebellion and sedition as they fled into exile or were arrested december's snap election brought a slim majority to separatist parties but with the pro union party winning the most

seats so almost back to square one and nowhere near the independence promised at the referendum bus alona was even banned from lighting its iconic fountains yellow with the color deemed the session a symbol. iraqi kurdistan is another region that had a short of independence this year and miss two kurds came out in force and voted overwhelmingly to secede from iraq. now this is a new era for the kurdish people it's a turning point and we have to use that this is a big victory but despite the kurds saying yes to independence that's not what the referendum achieved. and those who one spearheaded the push to break away bowed down. have informed the parliament that will not extend. although the briggs's though took place

back in twenty sixteen it dominated headlines throughout the last year. the sun has risen. in the band. jamie twenty third needs to become a national bank holiday we will call it independence day. briggs it was supposed to have moved far closer than it has by now but instead of peers to be if anything drifting further away as if the divorce process wasn't painful enough prime minister may spectacularly failed to sweep two of britain's parliament into green lighting her briggs it plans. in july the international trade secretary said brics in negotiations would be the easiest in human history. is the prime minister still agree with that assessment some created. but it. can be concluded quickly. bendish the commission was trying to bully the british people about this

resolution for twenty eighteen don't get your hopes too high for a friend. or a full day in them is thrown out to people as a way of involving the mass of the population and 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 i think we have to jason as home is democracy actually function there's a problem with our democracy there's a problem with poa law in our society more folks come to but they had just gone twenty seventeen please remember this is the year islamic state self-proclaimed caliphate fell after the break then we look at the devastating civilian cost of the fight against the terror group. what politicians do. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president. somehow i want to reach. out to the right person it's like before three of the four people. i'm interested in the water. question. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is the really packs a punch to sleep yampa is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than blue. sea people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank. write me seriously send us an e-mail.

watching out international days twenty past five in moscow right now so what a mystery over the wiki leaks added to his followers have been left scratching their heads over that cryptic message that they left on twitter. posted to say really indecipherable code and also a link to a popular rap song but what was it all about it's led to online debate over what the tweet could actually mean and there's been plenty of speculation to expect like this.

story the self the notion of fires raged through an apartment building the new york broad pour of bronx stuff and on tuesday morning the emergency services say more than a dozen people have suffered injuries five fighters have been battling two firefighters been battling the blaze obviously that blaze for five hours it started in the first floor is still spread to the residential apartments above it's the second huge fire in the bronx area in less than a week the first on thursday was caused by

a child playing with a kitchen stove that you see it's a big fire now these pictures came in just a couple of hours ago it looks like thankfully no fatalities there are casualties a limited thing is just about under control but a big mess there. twenty seven teams saw the collapse of islamic state in syria and iraq but the human cost of the victory was staggering the us but liberation campaign in mosul which was the terror group's de facto capital in iraq orbit raise the city to the ground once home to two million people hundreds of thousands were forced to flee many others are buried under that rubble still the horrors of war were captured by george butler he's a british artist embedded with the iraqi army. says.

daniel hawkins talked at length to the award winning artist and illustrator about his experiences in the conflict. 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. 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 almost 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 these houses been destroyed in an airstrike and

this. came out and bought me a chair to sit on executive i was touring and just begins to tell a story and isis fighters had fled the mosque next door during the fight firefight they'd come into 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 happened on the same day that that there's an infamous attack hundred sixty people were killed in mosul you know the willingness to talk about it and the openness and the normality of it was perhaps the most extraordinary thing and that is the fact that is so so regular i guess is a difficult thing to accept you what was the fortunate to capture this in your drawing but is this 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 that point to the refugee camp as well you've made one painting in the. amount of recently suffered a heart. born just after the second world war. five days earlier. lying in this tent outside the main refugee camp conditions the heat. and his wife you can imagine the desperation he hasn't eaten for five days or drunk and. it's 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 very slim what memory you are will take away from from your time in mosul the

one you know impression that really 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 and the lack of that kind of very vulnerable the moment and the lack of choice and the thing i guess that was sticks 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 kind of desire to draw to do justice and draw exactly what was in front of me. and that's indeed what he did george butler there artist a photographer recount his a down some of the horrors that he saw and not so little bomb site to dot com of course with the latest headlines for you for not me a t.v. great features you've got to worry about programs too if you missed it for now that's it i'm kevin over here moskos and thanks for watching this latest news bulletins more for me and half an hour of course new year twenty eight hundred as

a lot of biblical drama you think about it the big point jesus became because judas of the old testament of the original gangsters really gave way to the new testament of the clash of the plan c. and b. c. c. a b. c. fast money types and has been attempted to be crucified several times as well and has been reborn several times so it's kind of like the bible on steroids well the money changers didn't they get kicked out of the temple or something like that all their money and queens us bladdered all over the place that has happened on many of the exchanges between exchanges have been hacked and all sorts of crazy stuff and of course many people have been piling in too. in the past year especially twenty seventeen is probably when most people heard about the queen and got involved and bought the first bitcoin certainly even people involved in our show and we've been talking about bitcoin since two thousand and eleven two years after his birth it
