accidents would never happen 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. we need a pastor who says time for change she's seen and be worried about their own country and the rainiest should think about their country everybody should stop by trying to make progress at home. i don't think trump should interfere in our country's issues i don't think our issues are any of his business r.t. correspondents american has the latest details on the ongoing protests and international reaction to the us has firmly voiced its support for the anti-government movement bester 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
8:35 pm
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 enshrined in the united nations 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 is with and iran's president has come
8:36 pm
out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme leader believes the foreign powers are to blame let's check out what was said. ford said the enemy is waiting for it but you know for a crack it can infiltrate look at the recent days incidents all those who are at odds with these lawmakers republic have utilized various means including money weapons bullet ics and intel. separate us two great for these learning system the 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 violation and spending its wealth on 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
8:37 pm
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 saw strong when it comes to the freedom and dignity of very people you have but you have a different meaning of freedom and dignity when it comes to the palestinian people 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 allied governments as militant but i guess consistency isn't washington strong suit. author and former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team gave us he's thoughts on who might be behind the protest. one wonders what is the nature of the clandestine cia and. operations to foment.
8:38 pm
trouble inside iraq you know some of these disturbances have been in the kurdish regions of iraq and we have heard. that they want 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. bankrolling them and so one can only speculate and say educated guess that you know to minute money and resources going into a buy and there are a our enemies are we're on in two causing 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
8:39 pm
a year they give the u.s. no appreciation or respect trump also suggested cutting the aid because according to him the palestinians are not willing to talk peace with israel i to discuss this further now i'm joined by a roundabout route editor of the palace chronicle dot com thanks for joining us here on r t international. so i guess let's get right to it how serious is this latest tweet by president. is it just. threat or a tweet or do you think he really might actually cut the aid to palestine. i don't think it is in mere threat i think it is part of the focused policy that has been followed by the trump administration for months now and it's a policy that is coordinated sort very well with the israeli government the tweet that he did today was also joined by a statement made by nikki the u.s. ambassador to the united nations that she says forthright that we will not be
8:40 pm
giving money to. you and agency that is dedicated to helping millions of palestinian refugees in palestine and in refugee camps across the middle east if this is not a form or bullying it's not up for intimidation then what is. the timing of all of this happening on the day that. it has decided to annex certain parts of the west bank as part of drucilla him and to exclude palestinian nipper hoods from being included in the jerusalem in. this is another very dangerous escalation on the part of israel the timing of. it meant with i think it was will call in to needed and it was coordinated in advance in order for them to keep the pressure and the focus on the palestinian leadership which is now being
8:41 pm
given one out of two options to accept quran to humiliation or further humiliation nothing else well what a difference and administration makes i mean if you look back in two thousand and eleven when washington threatened to halt aid to palestine because of its talks with hamas the u.s. of course considers hamas a terrorist organization and israel as well all the palestinians said that they would be willing to give it up even though they needed u.s. money how do you think that they'll react this time will trump's threat or his actions in this case have an effect on the palestinian government. i think previous threats actually did work under the u.s. administration of george w. bush continues or rice me multiple threats and she followed through the congress followed through and as a result the palestinian authority that is controlled by the letter party made it clear to hamas that we cannot join a unified government because of these threats so they did really invest impetus to me and disunity and they did
8:42 pm
a splendid job this time whatever is the front of the pedestal of thirty seats to american demands it will actually be as kind of after political suicide if you will because it is absolutely zero patience as far as the palestinian people are concerned to compromise or to concede interests and it's a red line that no one even yasser arafat himself or was the leader of the piston palestinian liberation organization or even iraq that himself could not compromise and interested and it's a red line for but it's to me as it will always be a red line it's a what a city and it's the future capital city. i doubt that the president of that it will be able to actually accept american demands and stipulations simply because politically can't this balancing act that they have been playing for years cannot be sustained if indeed go ahead and succumb to american and
8:43 pm
israeli pressures where you mentioned in the timing between nikki haley's comments in israel possible coordination there about her comments at the u.n. she blamed the palestinians for the absence of talks for their absence rather of their talks with israel is this new pressure on palestine going to change the situation there do you think it will help palestine come to the table at all. of course not because there hasn't been a table to begin with there hasn't been any peace process to begin with the whole concept of the peace process which is an american espoused concept was that a study is needed to accept you under solutions and the status of jerusalem and the solutions for tool in order for them to be engaged by the americans now that the stimulus have missed all the american demands know the americans are changing the rules of the game entirely and they are saying the united nations is no longer reference the e.u. under solution two for two is now no longer term of reference jerusalem is no
8:44 pm
longer and that it was stable yet we would like you to come and go see it over what it is not longer a frame of reference to negotiate or it's it's it's trickery it's american is what you do trickery they've used it a lot in the past but right now they are becoming particularly shameless about relative very interesting to hear your thoughts editor in chief of the palestine chronicle thanks for being with us here on our to international. all right trump's earlier move to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has sparked violent unrest over the past month and now the israeli parliament seems to be adding fuel to that fire that has passed special legislation on jerusalem making that possible the separation of arab neighborhoods from the ancient city called the unified jerusalem amendment to the legislation also requires two thirds of parliament to approve any decisions made regarding the boundaries of a jerusalem we spoke to political commentator. about a possible reasons behind this move. every once in
8:45 pm
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 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.
