this is r.t. welcome to this latest live thirty minute news round up from moscow with me kevin our first six on iran we focus so that country entering its six consecutive day of unrest twenty one people are now thought to have died in the clashes so far in that country on monday night nine people were killed six during the attack on a police station in fact there are pictures you're seeing now on your screens already of media reporting that the protesters there were trying to steal weapons from the site in the last three days alone there reportedly been more than four hundred fifty arrests across the country on choose day around supreme leader spoke out for the first time since the unrest started he accused foreign powers of fermenting trouble in his country. towards 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 these linux system the

republic and these low. revolution shortly after that donald trump was once again on twitter commenting on a very is going on there just like previously he expressed his support for the protesters and lashed out at the iranian leadership we've been asking people in iran what they think about the protests and the encouragement coming from abroad and. giving their i feel that if people's economic problems were addressed these accidents would never happen again so if someone from the government came and spoke to them these incidents would not escalate. the cost of living unemployment a lack of attention to people authorities say that this problem started with a surge in the prices of basic food supplies. you need a person who says time for change should think and be worried about their own

country and the ring and should think about their country everybody should start by trying to make progress at home me a job i don't think trump should interfere in our country's issues i don't think our issues are any of his business jacqueline vogel next looks at how iran's rivals have reacted to the protests. 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 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 terms not long ago called their country a nation of terrorists iran a terrorist 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 obvious me nuclear weapons and to work toward 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 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 with 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 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. 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. i've also been protests in the region for the last month of the u.s. president's recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital. cut. cut cut cut cut cut cut cut

cut. cut cut . cut cut cut cut cut cut cut and if an

outraged two of the reports that the palestinian leaders party has been in since starting youngsters on how best to heal stones at israeli security forces we go reaction to that. all what we see now in india territories is permanent incitement for people to come and convert to use 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 in this really 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 armed while the israelis have used life 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 to kill or to shoot what we hear on the palestinian. 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 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. certainly have nothing to do with god what happens every

day in palestine is the palestinian population confronting and millet. harry that is basically with 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 need any other conclusion for many bodies this is all capital and i believe that sunday is policy students will come to negotiate us instead of using terror against us they will have a couple in the model for the first time in history policy will ever state side by side by israel and this is what we aim to. that was

a world in twenty seventeen and going to another year this year more is another story of alleged collusion that's come out this time the characters are rather different boke wiki leaks has published an e-mail apparently showing the new york times was providing the state department and hillary clinton with warnings about potentially damaging stories colored voters across it let's go to. what we know about these revelations than. well wiki leaks seems to be showing that scott shane of the new york times was actually in touch with the u.s. state department coordinating with the spokes first and for hillary clinton who was then secretary of state back in two thousand and ten when the cable gate scandal was going on now you'll remember cable gate that was you know two thousand and ten to twenty eleven wiki leaks was releasing diplomatic cables from the u.s. state department showing malpractise all kinds of scandalous things well according to wiki leaks at this point they are revealing that apparently scott shane of the

new york times actually handed over the schedule of the planned documents released from wiki leaks to the state department and then this gave them in some cases up to nine days to prepare for the release of documents to create distractions to spin and to just weaken the overall impact of the cables that were being released now wiki leaks has accused scott shane of the new york times of betraying them let's take a listen to the exchange between wiki leaks and scott shame this is known since check with the wiki leaks volunteers who would turn this project you live in wiki leaks created an online reduction engine so we could take our names of those who might be in prison the wood from cables we published we agreed on a consultation with the state department wiki leaks agreed to pose questions to the u.s. government forty eight hours prior to publication the new york times pushed for four days wiki leaks subjected the motion as the new york times betraying the entire day

by day thematically publication plan to secretary clinton spokesman p.j. crowley not asking questions. now media outlets are already using the word luzhin to describe the cooperation between the u.s. state department and this new york times journalist now at this point you know we have if you look over scott shane's writings he's written quite a bit about collusion in the runt of november four out of the ten articles that he wrote were about allegations unfounded allegations of trumped russia collusion and this is just the latest scandal involving hillary clinton and her relationship with the press most recently we saw that glenn thrush a reporter for politico who was actually sending his articles to hillary clinton during the election was hired by the new york times now there's been all this talk of russia collusion was trump possibly working with russia but we're basically

seeing an example here of hillary clinton when she was secretary of state hillary clinton during her presidential campaign coordinating with the press there seems to have been quite a bit of collusion between the media and hillary clinton we might get some reaction from out will be funded out of the car and i was from. until a wiki leaks as well that we can exit of course has been really much in the headlines as follows have been left scratching their heads over that really cryptic message that he left on twitter he posted the seemingly indecipherable code and also linked to a popular rap song but what was it all about to lead to lots of the. what this tweet could actually made plenty of speculation to check it out.

elsewhere the day a member of the anti migrant alternative of germany parties on the police investigation for offensive social media post against muslims a correspondent in berlin polis lee is on it. 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 fringe and the fact that one of the languages used was arabic so

infuriated a member of the german parliament beatrix french top 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 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 f.t. 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 and 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 emits law 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 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 or so euro berlin coming up twenty seven will be remembered as the year islamic state self-proclaimed color food. after the break then we look at the devastating. cult of the fight.

before the birth. just think about the years it went from absolutely piece of software to world shaking wall street transforming. seem wrong. to seep out. and in. the trade.

find themselves worlds apart. look for common ground. again this is. new in this pakistan the us ambassador over tweet posted by donald trump on new year's day in his first twitter of the new year twenty eighteen the american president this time accused of nothing but lies and deceit didn't go down too well in some quarters smear columns across this in washington d.c. ice tell us a bit more about trump's tweet a bit more detail about what was in it and of course reaction from pakistan what came back. well u.s. pakistan relations are at an all time low lately and baka saudis have taken notice they are now out on the streets burning american flags and chanting anti trump slogans now this is all after trump target baucus on in his first tweet of twenty

eighteen accusing them of providing a safe haven for terrorists they're pursuing in afghanistan. the united states has fruitlessly given pakistan more than thirty three billion dollars in aid over the last fifteen years and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as food they give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan with little help no more the foreign minister of pakistan khwaja also if i dismiss the move as a political stunt by saying that the us is trying to shift the blame for its own failures in afghanistan and let's check out what else he had to say is again and again venting his frustrations on pakistan over america's failures in afghanistan as they are trapped in a dead end street now both the u.s. and pakistan have been embroiled in the war on terror since the very beginning but trump seems to callously nor this samir of the from d.c.

. well it's only just gone but twenty seventeen saw the collapse of islamic state of course in syria and iraq but the human cost of the story was staggering the us but liberation campaign in mosul which was the terror group's defacto capital in iraq orbit raised the city to the ground once home to two million people hundreds of thousands were forced to flee many the still buried under the rubble where the horrors of war were captured by a guy called george butler he's a british artist embedded with the iraqi army.

harrowing scenes you saw the first handle daniel hawkins earlier talked to the award winning artist and illustrator about what he saw in that conflict zone. 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 are the ones that i as an illustrator and as artist i guess are trying to do to get 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 this house has been destroyed in an airstrike and this. came out and bought me a chair to sit on it could see i was touring and just begins to tell

a story and isis fighters had fled the mosque next door during the fight a fire fight 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 i was so so regular i guess is was the difficult thing to accept you what was before 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

the point of 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. 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 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. 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 this kind of very vulnerable the moment and the lack of choice and the thing that 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. snapshots of life on the battle fronts of mosul cheer things up a bit the russian defense ministry showed its softer side. congratulatory new years post twenty eighteen is the year the dogpile with the chinese zodiac keenly followed here in russia ministries video from one of its training centers starring some of its youngest and most of the jetty.
