events would never happen if someone from the government came and spoke to them and 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. they need to. know who says time for change should think and be worried about their own country and the iranians should think about their country everybody should start by trying to make progress as a whole. i don't think trump should interfere in our country's issues and i don't think our issues are any of his business. while the u.s. is also calling for an international response to the unrest in the country so america has more details on that. 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 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 iranian dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u.n. must speak out iran's president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme leader believes the foreign powers are to play let's check out what was said. that the enemy is waiting for an a but you need for a correct it can infiltrate you look at the recent days incidents all those who are at odds with these lawmakers with public have utilized various means including money weapons bullet and intelligence apparatus to great problems for these linux system 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 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 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 use so 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 will be mixed with being 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. well as you just heard there the

u.s. ambassador to the u.n. revealed trump's plans to stop funding a u.n. agency giving aid to palestinian refugees shortly after the u.s. leader himself suggested cutting donations to the palestinian administration in a twenty claims that despite giving them hundreds of millions of dollars a year they show no appreciation or respect to the u.s. corso suggested cutting aid because according to him the palestinians are not willing to talk peace with israel but i'm zeebrugge is an editor of the palestine chronicle believes all this is nothing short of bullying i don't think it is a mere threat i think it is part of the. policy that has been followed by the trump administration for months now and it's a policy that is called immediate sort very well with the israeli government the tweet was also joined by a statement made by the u.s. ambassador to the united nations that she says forthright that we will not be

giving money to on the u.n. and refugee agency that is that the key to do helping millions of palestinian refugees in palestine. comes across the middle east if this is not a form or bullying it's not a delegation then what is. while the u.s. talks about funding the israeli parliament seems to be adding fuel to the fire it's passed a bill making it difficult to change the status of jerusalem as the capital of israel called the unified jerusalem amendment it also requires two thirds of parliament to approve any decisions made regarding the boundaries of the ancient city the office of the palestinian leader released a statement saying the bill has all but ended the political process between the two we spoke to political commentator amir oren about the. every once in a while when the polls show that netanyahu is quite close.

there you go again shouting jerusalem they are all 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 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 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 part 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 but r.t.c. goes down of has been looking at which other countries have found themselves in the sights of a u.s. president christmas day even the seasonal holidays haven't put the brakes on trump's twitter train in twenty eight seen pakistan got its first. united states has foolishly given pakistan moving 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. no love lost their trumps administration has been walloping pakistan for months but it's not like anything in particular happened on monday to trigger the backlash but to say this tweet got

a slam about an age would be an understatement three ministers including the prime minister the army the navy and air force chiefs all converged for an emergency security meeting following trump's post the u.s. ambassador was summoned for an explanation as protesters burned american flags in the streets then it was the turn of iran one of the biggest thorns in donald trump's side. iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the bammer ministration the great iranian people have been repressed for many years they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights the wealth of iran is being looted time for change the islamic republic has been erupting in rallies and briards as people have been swarming the streets both against and in support of the government people died the tweet hasn't gone unnoticed in iran urging against the violence president rouhani denied to trump the

right to sympathize with the nation well when done with the middle east trump couldn't help but pay the classic twitter tribute to his one and only rocket man. sanctions and other pressures are beginning to have an impact on north korea soldiers are dangerously fleeing to south korea rocket man now wants to talk to south korea for the first time perhaps that's good news perhaps not we will see well apparently this was donald trump's need jerk reaction to south korea offering to hold high level talks with the north after pyongyang suggested the countries should meet to discuss the next olympics it's not government policy it's the. ravings of a person who speaks before thinking. for thinking you know one would hope that the people on the receiving end of these things would take them with a grain of salt because. you know trump may say those things but he can't act on

them because he's got a whole bureaucracy behind him that doesn't agree with them so. it's very destabilizing and i think it's undermining u.s. ability to negotiate solutions to problems so whatever policy donald trump is concocting stirring trouble on twitter is something that is going to stay it was done of. meanwhile the battle of words between the u.s. and north korean leaders is now descended into insults about the size and power of their new clear buttons again twitter where the u.s. president weighed in saying his was much bigger and that it works it was in response to kim jong un declaring that he always had the nucleus which claims to have. the entire us mainland is within the range of our nuclear strike and the button is always on the table in my office space you clearly know that this is

certainly not a threat but rather a reality i hope personally such rather rick by the side of the p.r. k. by its supreme leader or by the united states through its president donald trump will calm down the world does not need such jingoism or war rhetoric straight now the situation is in a stalemate the deep sea has gained a time to develop the super weapon in a more and more sophisticated way and united states has not yet reached the point of deciding to use military means to solve the problem but i don't think everything has been exhausted it was do need to try their best even though all the likelihood of a diplomatic solution is becoming remote and remote. well kim jong un has ordered a border hotline with south korea to be reopened to start talks on attending next month's lympics that is due to happen in just over an hour but the standoff between

the u.s. and north korea does look set to continue in twenty eighteen after what's already been twelve months of personal attacks and vicious threats from both sides. here of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has failed. to get what. they. say will be met. by. the u.s. neglect spins and it's real it's established some of its behavior children play to him because it's still. and we can. out there shooting rockets all over the place.

but your own. rocket. is going to a certain vision. no one saw through something. like it. if i feel we need to feel we need. is a sick puppy. the ukrainian president is looking forward to getting hold of new lethal weapons from the united states petro poroshenko tweeted that ukraine's military budget is increasing to a record three billion dollars and that the u.s. weapons will be bolstered by locally produced hardware the u.s. state department announced earlier that it supplies will include javelin antitank missiles which are considered to be among the my. deadly ever designed well the war in ukraine did start in twenty fourteen after an armed can oppose the government but it met with resistance from the pro russian east of the country leading to the

region's entering armed conflict against government troops more than ten thousand people from both sides have been killed in the conflict according to the un antiwar campaigner richard becker thinks washington's arms sales have nothing to do with bringing peace. the aim here on the part of the u.s. government remains that it has had for several years and that is to a carriage ukraine not only to the european community which the u.s. doesn't care that much about but to bring the ukraine into nato as well which would pose a very great threat to russia if that were to take place considering that the i'm going to express from washington. and from nato headquarters is so prevalent so we can't really distinguish between draws some sharp between our

defense of weaponry in this case it's. the afghans of the defense of weaponry both necessary for any modern and forces. meanwhile the lethal airstrike the start of the year in yemen with more than twenty killed in the key port of her dida three of the world's biggest humanitarian agencies have now joined together to highlight that yemen's past the grim milestone of ensuring more than a thousand days of war explaining that three quarters of the yemeni population needs humanitarian aid and that a back seat deprived of food water and proper sanitation. if.

i am poor i have no time to work and live i suffer from the cold. i was given a place to sleep when some people to warm up on hot days ride on the sidewalk. but the rest you know how contrary where i want security but now we have no help or blanket i try to turn people sleeping or about. twenty seventeen did see world changing events but it was also a year where it seemed to be sometimes harder to tell fact from fiction.
