7:02 pm
a surge in the prices of basic food supplies. we need to. know who says time for change she's seen and be worried about their own country and iranians to think about their country everybody should start by trying to make progress at home. i don't think trump should interfere in our country's issues and i don't think our issues are any of his business or he correspondent has the latest details on the ongoing protests and international reaction to it the u.s. has firmly voiced its support for the anti-government movement baster nikki haley has even called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council to discuss the ongoing situation and to courageously stand up for quote oppressed people rising up against their dictators even going on to praise the great bravery of the protesters the international community has a role to play here on this the freedoms that are in shrine in the united nations
7:03 pm
charter our nerves are under attack in iran if the iranians dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u.n. must speak out well to provide a bit of context iranians first took to the streets to express discontent over the country's economic situation and alleged corruption of the government and now it's nation wide with both anti-government factions and pro-government factions but hundreds of arrests have been made there have been violent clashes and even some deaths which has allowed other nations to chime in on in iran's internal affairs and voice their support for the government movement and iran's president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme leader believes the foreign powers are great let's check out what was said. ford said the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a correct it can infiltrate if you look at the recent days incidents all those who
7:04 pm
are at odds with these the macwhich public have utilized various means including money weapons bullet ix. and intelligence apparatus to great problems for these linux system these republic and these like revolution for president trump kicked off the new year unleashing a stream of tweets on the issue accusing iran of corruption human rights violations spending its wealth from terrorism and of course the israeli government has followed suit even going on to say that the iranians and israelis will be friends once the regime forces but what's even more surprising is that israel faces the same discontent some anti-government protests and some over trump's recognition of jerusalem as its capital but what did nikki haley have to say about this it takes great bravery for the iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government so we applaud the tremendous courage of the iranian people now we show strong when it comes to the freedom and dignity of their union people who have but you have a different meaning of freedom and dignity when it comes to the palestinian people
7:05 pm
would be to have been brutalized for over fifty years of occupation the palestinians now have to show their world they want to come to the table as of now they're not coming to the table but they ask for aid we're not giving aid we're going to make sure that they come to the table and we want to move forward with the peace process well it seems the u.s. supports peaceful protests against enemy governments and dismisses peaceful protests against ally governments as militant but i guess consistency isn't washington strong suit. and former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team he gave us his thoughts on who might be behind the protests. one wonders what is the nature of the clandestine cia and their governments operations to foment. trouble inside iran you know some of these disturbances have been in the kurdish regions of iraq and we have heard from the saudi officials that they want
7:06 pm
to bring trouble inside iraq and the saudis have now sponsored one of the main dissident organizations headquartered there in france the m.k. all. and bankrolling them and so one can only speculate and say educated guess that you know tremendous amount of money and resources going into buying their way of enemies of iran into political problem for dating in government. president trump has called for financial aid to the palestinians into question in a new tweet he claims that despite giving them hundreds of millions of dollars a year they give us no appreciation or respect trump also suggested cutting the aid because according to him the palestinians are not willing to talk peace with israel and trump's earlier move to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has sparked
7:07 pm
violent unrest over the last month and now the israeli parliament seems to be adding fuel to the fire it is past special. legislation on jerusalem excuse me making possible the separation of arab neighborhoods from the ancient city called the unified jerusalem amendment the legislation also requires two thirds of parliament to approve any decisions made regarding the boundaries of jerusalem we spoke to political commentator i mean oren about possible reasons behind this move . every once in a while when the polls show that netanyahu is quite close. there you go again shouting jerusalem they are self-styled harry houdini who try to tie their own hands and put themselves into a box and then jump into the river and hope that no one will be able to send a giant crane via the great powers to hoist them out of there because if
7:08 pm
at some future date some future government would like to negotiate the future off the territories occupied by israel for the last fifty years including east jerusalem these parliamentarians hope that it will be unable to do so but of course this is just a new lucian because if the reason some formula by which there will be a negotiated peace with the palestinians that the government of the day will change the law and therefore it will be able to split the jewish pop of jerusalem from the arab part most israelis especially those who leave until of even bigger city don't really care that much or would even prefer to have jerusalem split between israel and the state of palestine once it's established. meanwhile protests have been continuing over president trumps
7:09 pm
a decision to recognize jerusalem and move the u.s. embassy there here is a look back at some of the disturbances over the last four weeks. was a. week because.
7:10 pm
and there has been outrage over reports of the palestinian leader's party is instructing youngsters on how to hurl stones at israeli security forces we've got reaction to that. all what we see now in the territories is permanent incitement for people to come and called out to use and even the last. we saw when they explained to the 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
7:11 pm
a fossil damage please throw stones on the israelis and we're usually here this an 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 the 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 kill or to shoot what we hear on the palestinian policy
7:12 pm
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 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. 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
7:13 pm
is absolute we do not need any other conclusion for me only by deduces all capital and i believe that sunday is palestinians will come to negotiate us instead of using their all 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. mean while pakistan has summoned in the us ambassador over another tweet verse one posted by donald trump on new year's day in his first twitter solved two thousand and eighteen the american president accuses one about of quote nothing but wise and deceit the united states has foolishly 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 foods they give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan with little help no more he is again and again venting his
7:14 pm
frustrations on pakistan over america's failures in afghanistan as they are trapped in a dead end street. tromso tweet has triggered mass protests in pakistan people took to the streets to burn the us flag and chant anti-american slogans pakistanis said that they themselves did not appreciate donald trump's comments. it's actually hard to make out that it's a. noise about a sign that. the president you were with their son. or daughter was locked up but you start yes pakistanis are beginning. to sacrifice the lives of many soldiers all of the water. the water was in. the water which are the ones where it was just hours. after a lot of your treatment like this and the aids they have given us is nothing compared swash huge human loss is the time has come for us to be united they can't
7:15 pm
do anything against us these are just when it's trump is frustrated because of afghanistan and he directs his frustration at pakistan. as a citizen i would say the real problem is our rulers accepting us aid we don't need their aid like the white house has announced that the u.s. will continue to withhold military and financial aid to pakistan until the country does more to combat terrorism retired lieutenant general in the pakistani army a lot of things are blaming pakistan will not help the situation in afghanistan and the donald trump should be aware that. he is just trying to sort of express his frustrations in fact he's trying to place blame on pakistan to sort of shift the blame on the exactly what the american policy has failed to do they think that by placing blame on pakistan they are going to solve the problem of understand they are sadly mistaken it is in the foremost interest of pakistan to have stability
7:16 pm
enough to understand because if there is one country which is most adversely affected by the poor conditions in afghanistan or instability in afghanistan is pakistan so how on earth do that think that pakistan would like to destabilize afghanistan and not contribute towards efforts that would really stabilize and make up understand the peaceful country. nato says a u.s. service member has been killed in combat in afghanistan more on that and much else after a short break watching our two international. join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then.
7:17 pm
manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the fines. we can all middle of the room.
7:18 pm
welcome back this is our team international not collusion it was a word that we heard a lot in two thousand and seventeen and here's another story of alleged collusion though this time the characters are a bit different wiki leaks has published an e-mail apparently showing that the new york times was providing the state department and hillary clinton with advanced warnings about potentially damaging stories and has commentary. now a new e-mail published by wiki leaks seems to show cooperation between new york times reporter scott shane and the press secretary of hillary clinton when she was secretary of state now we remember back in two thousand and ten in two thousand and eleven there was cable gate all kinds of diplomatic cables were being released by wiki leaks well according to this new e-mail released by wiki leaks it appears that scott shane of the new york times was warning the state department actually gave them the schedule of when cables would be released wiki leaks speculates that this was done in order to help minimize the damage and he says accused scott shane of
7:19 pm
essentially betraying them but. this is nonsense check with the wiki leaks volunteers who would turn this project 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 if one looks over the words and the reporting done by scott shane in november four out of ten of his articles were about the issue of allegations of trumped russia collusion however there seems to be quite a record of collusion here between hillary clinton and the press if one looks over
7:20 pm
the fact that glenn thrush a reporter for politico is actually sending his articles to the clinton campaign for approval before they were published has been hired by the new york times and so there seems to be quite a bit of collusion going on between hillary clinton and the press there's ample evidence of that extensive evidence in the wiki leaks predestiny e-mails talking back and forth the you know the friendly journalist list that's referred to now it's virtually i think impossible to control it because you've got so many elements you've got to trump administration seated now with trump people in most of the key jobs you've got you've got now i think a newly energized maybe not mainstream press but independent journalist press going at this digging deep lee not accepting the supposed facts that have been sold in the past and the conflicts are obvious. followers of the wiki leaks editor have been left scratching their heads over a cryptic new year's message left on twitter julian assange posted
7:21 pm
a seemingly indecipherable code and a link to a popular rap song has led to online debate over what the tweet could actually mean and there has been plenty of speculation.
7:22 pm
the nato mission in afghanistan has announced that one u.s. service member has been killed in combat missions a statement adds that four more service members were wounded in the incident that took place on monday and province but no further details were given on what exactly occurred earlier a provincial spokesperson announced that nato led afghan forces had carried out air and ground operations killing more than sixty eisel terrorist. because the militants were hiding in local residents' houses civilians were also hit with at least one killed and thirty more wounded here's what's the billions there told us about what happened. a woman was killed two men and two others were burned there all the victims are here in hospital some most of legs injured. over eighteen people were wounded and others were killed see the child here in the
7:23 pm
bed he lost his leg his mother was also killed in the incident that. helicopters and jets hit the people some of the. people were killed. the calm which was used by villagers was destroyed are these american forces always say we can target with precision every little thing on the ground what kind of technology is this they can't tell the difference between militants and civilians we don't trust their technology because they see wouldn't kill civilians but this exact was carried out on civilians. a member of the anti migrant alternative for germany party is under police investigation for an offense of social media posed our correspondent possibly here is in berlin and has the story when it all cocks 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
7:24 pm
infuriated a member of the german parliament beatrix one stall 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 has 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
7:25 pm
a controversial new law here in germany that went into effect on the first of january it's known as the emits diggin 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 finally 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. on tuesday officers from the national alliance of french police gathered in front of a police station in the suburbs of paris and they were there to protest against abusive treatment of law enforcement in the country protest comes after video of an attack on two police officers service on the internet just adds up what we're about
7:26 pm
to show you are some disturbing images. was. in the video if you know officer and a male police captain were knocked to the ground and then repeatedly kicked and punched in their heads and bodies they were responding to an emergency call at a new year's eve celebration that had hundreds of people in attendance police ordered the party shut down due to overcrowding. sure police officers were attacked every day and there was a lack of response only the government can respond and enforce the law because it is not permissible that a police officer can be brutally attacked like we saw today and that once the aggressors are identified they are not in prison people who attack police officers should be in prison. so you know that doesn't for me i'll be back in about thirty three minutes a full look at your news you are watching arch international good to have you with us.
