it's. good. to. us in israel continued to voice support for anti-government protests in iran six consecutive days now violent demonstrations in the country left at least twenty one dead. a palestinian teenager is facing twelve charges including assault tonight after she punched two israeli soldiers with her opinion from both sides on these ongoing clashes in that region. all what we see now terry is permanent incite people to come back to the israelis have used live fire they have used tear gas this proportionately. cryptic message with perhaps meaningful lyrics to a song. well so that the jews in this are followers getting firmly on twitter.
10:01 am
right now it's just turned six pm tuesday this is second to john you're here in moscow. kevin zero in with you with this latest update first we focus on a. country's entering its sixth consecutive day of unrest twenty one people are now thought have died in clashes in that country on monday night nine people were killed six cheering an attack on a police station voicing here is footage from that incident iranian media reported to the protesters were trying to steal weapons from the station at the time in the last three days alone the reportedly more than four hundred fifty arrests across the country on tuesday around supreme leaders spoke out for the first time since the unrest are did he accused foreign powers. of fermenting trouble in his country
10:02 am
. or so 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 great problems for the islamic system the islamic republic and these like revolution that shortly after that donald trump was once again on twitter commenting on events in iran just like previously he expressed his support for the protesters and lashed out at the iranian leadership we've been asking people into around what they think about the protests of the encouragement coming from abroad. giving there i feel that if people's economic problems were addressed these accidents would never happen if someone from the government came and spoke to them these incidents would not escalate. the cost of living unemployment
10:03 am
a lack of attention to people authorities say that this problem started with a surge in the prices of basic food supplies. they need that person who says time for change should think and be worried about their own country and iranians should think about their country everybody should start by trying to make progress at the whole. us and i don't think trump should interfere in our country's issues i don't think our issues are any of his business . next looks at how around rivals have reacted to the protests. what began as discontent over economic hardship and alleged corruption in the ram 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
10:04 am
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 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 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
10:05 am
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 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 and one day it 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
10:06 am
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 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. blog about it and photos out as a professor of political communication at the university of to run joins us now live let's get his thoughts on what's happening is country how do you see these protests developing. well i. have only if. it was calm last night. we have in smaller towns here in the. small protests. at the height of the protests. the maximum number that was
10:07 am
recorded was about a thousand people and for example in iran we have fifteen million the population is million so one thousand out of fifty million is a lot of these protests as you're also seeing a bit outside of the capital as well and quieting down the number. not that much. i think calm is coming back ok but a lot of people do obviously feel strongly that the law isn't very good at the moment in your country will the authorities listen to them at all twenty two people have died so far in these protests they will say their deaths full have been in vain if if the government does our legal problems. again we have got a problem the photos or the is kevin again just one more question to you i think there's a bit of a delay on the line what i was saying is do you think the authorities will listen
10:08 am
to the protesters that have been out on the streets they think they have a fair argument here that their law is not a good one and your country right now. now let's leave it there that's ok. and you can hear me very well so thanks so much for level trumpery recall behind the scenes technology in twenty eighteen. now they've been protests in the region for over the last month over the u.s. president's recognition of jerusalem of course as the israeli capital. that's. how. i believe how utterly could cut
10:09 am
cut cut cut cut there's been outrage over reports of the palestinian leader's polities instructing youngsters to want how to hill stows it is ready security forces we go reaction to that. all what we see now in india terry call these is
10:10 am
permanent incitement for people to come and clean but to 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 a fossil damage please throw stones on the israelis and we're usually here this and i'm gonna 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
10:11 am
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 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 cells 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 and. certainly has nothing to do line with god what happens every day in palestine is the palestinian population confronting. harry that is basically a at the regional superpower
10:12 am
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 need any their cooperation for many bodies this is all capital and i believe that some day east policy indians will come to negotiate us instead of using their all against us they will 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 fell the brunt litter of the police response was this fourteen year old boy he'd been throwing stones at i.d.f. soldiers and then was injured in return after being hit in the face by
10:13 am
a rubber bullet seems the boy's injuries were too much for his cousin to bear though she then went on over it to confront two heavily armed soldiers last week she was filmed kicking and hitting them. to mimi no she's been charged with assault on his site went along with her mother over it the core previously claimed to per post a threat to and put them in custody had father defended his daughter saying she felt she had no choice but to take action that. we like to call his self as a freedom fighter what a fighter for the palestinian issue she believes that we must be any 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 believe in. for that wouldn't be where i
10:14 am
saw her when she saw. the army she became more active more and she won the needed to fight the developing story coming from europe now a member of the anti migrant alternative for germany parties on the police investigation for an offensive social media post apparently against muslims a corresponding policies in berlin flagstone this paulo what exactly triggered this police investigation tells a bit more. well it all back to new year's eve when the police in the german city of cologne posted on their official twitter account a new year greeting now they posted their message in four languages in german english arabic and french and the fact that one of the languages used was arabic so infuriated a member of the german parliament beatrix one store who is part of the right wing alternative for germany party the a if de that she posted on her twitter and facebook accounts and angry response she slammed the police's decision to post in
10:15 am
arabic now although her initial messages have been deleted on monday she posted again and she said and i'm quoting that muslims are barbarians now she has been criticized both online and offline for allegedly incitement to hate speech as to be expected the leader of the if he has come out in her defense and she has said and again i'm quoting that the authorities are more committed to imported more raiding groping abusive knife stabbing migrant mobs now at this stage posts are being investigated by the police she can become the first person to be found guilty under a controversial new law here in germany that went into effect on the first of january it's known as the limits dig a little and it aims at cracking down on social media hate speech now you'll remember that cologne back in two thousand and fifteen was in the headlines on new
10:16 am
year's eve when more than a thousand men were accused of causing basic disruptions on the streets they were accused of violently harassing and attacking women now all of this comes at a particularly sensitive time for germany the parliament still does not have a ruling majority since talks collapsed at the end of last year. was a complicated situation lot of controversy aversions so poor so there will be a vote for. appreciate it thank you for being with us to still more to come a strange new year's tweet indeed by the editor of wiki leaks got a lot of people talking on law and it's real mystery we'll tell you about that softer this break that. seems wrong. just don't. get to see
10:17 am
out just be active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be. actually going to be this is what before three of the people. interested always in the water.
10:18 am
again so what's going on with julian assange followers of the wiki leaks editor of the left scratching their heads over a pretty cryptic new year message that he left on twitter he posted the seemingly indecipherable code and also a link to a pop in a rap song it's led to online debate lot of it over what the tweet could actually mean plenty of speculation.
10:19 am
twenty seventeen years on the collapse of islamic state in syria and iraq but they human cost of the victory was staggering the u.s. backed liberation campaign in mosul which was the terror group's defacto capital in iraq all but raised that city to the ground once it was home to two million people hundreds of thousands that were forced to flee and many others continue to be buried under the rubble is still the horrors of war were captured by one guy george butler he's a british artist embedded with the iraqi army. so
10:20 am
really harrowing scenes they sold out hawkins talked in more depth to the award winning artist illustrator about what he saw in that 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 an artist i guess are trying to do to give justice to what was the most
10:21 am
difficult almost striking thing that you that you saw there something that really made an impression on you on one side a pile of piles of rubble these houses been destroyed in an airstrike and this. came out and bought me a chair to sit on next you could see 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
10:22 am
drawing but is this something you are really occurred all over the city 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 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 attack. just after the second world war. five days 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
10:23 am
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 and the lack of that kind of very vulnerable the moment and the lack of choice and the thing that i guess it 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. as seen through the eyes of british man george butler there an artist an illustrator just a second to tell you about our site compact with my just headlines great features
10:24 am
as always great pictures and you can catch up with any of our programs you've missed there as well so. don't call this place to be for me is kevin here in moscow saying thanks for watching out a quick happy new year twenty one thousand nine hundred two when we continue to watch the coming twelve months. of flight for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great chance for. peace.
10:25 am
hey everybody i'm stephen ball. hollywood guy you suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v. news this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. you know with those up with all the drama happening in our country and i'm shooting the road have fun every day americans. closely start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. here's what people have been saying about rejecting the night it's your possession
10:26 am
it's full on awesome i'll kill the show i go out of my way to lunch you know a lot of the really packs a punch oh yeah it's the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than blue. sea people you've never heard of love back to the night my president of the world bank so take. it seriously send us an e-mail. themselves somers and i built tiny houses for the homeless.
10:27 am
see years back and they are here why do these guys now for me a tiny house is not a solution it will be a free for off. is my safe conditions to live or. to sooth opponent renna the city of los angeles. always good terrorist. nobody should be homeless anywhere but especially in one of the richest countries in the world. i build everything was true because i make
10:28 am
a lot of mistakes. and it's easy to back out your mistakes in compton south central l.a. a pint sized idea as well this summer has been a battle with city oath already so when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle. the mayor of los angeles has declared the city is in the midst of a homelessness crisis. is trying to solve it one tiny house at a time the tiny house idea is very simple it's shelter. food water and shelter are not optional they're required for human survival so it's a. temporary solution and like the first stone a foundation if you will to helping people who are homeless. according to elvis these cheap and portable tiny homes a meant to be on the streets of l.a. . and they need to fix. but right now they're not moving anywhere because city
10:29 am
authorities banned them so they used to belong to somebody yeah yeah. and now they're being used no now they've been sitting here for better part of a year collecting dust. and people are you know struggling and suffering. so yeah it's really sad i mean it's you know this is human life here you know. los angeles authorities have accused his tiny homes of threatening public safety. elvis has seen the tiny house movement go viral online with support coming from right across the world so with the help of internet crowdfunding he's going rogue once completed they all have a new carbon pad. alarms on the windows i put the vent holes in the top you know it's really hot summer here so that way the heat will rise and go out in the city of angels elvis isn't considered one by the powers that be. but to the
10:30 am
homeless he's one of the few struggling to get them off the streets i don't quit and i don't give up and i definitely don't bow down to bullies people need shelter now if i have to build a tiny house for every last person. five hundred years old then that's what i'm going to do. elvis is building his next house for a woman who brave. people that live. ravens living under this top hole and next to a freeway. and from say. the situation much worse than when. this is already on a service.
