otherwise it'll be a free for all there are a better alternative to the homelessness crisis. thousands of migrants are still sleeping rough on the streets of paris despite president promise to find a solution before the end of twenty seven we hear some of their stories you look in this memo a new group people to prove me this. is this the life you thought you would have. also if you come washington is cursing security assistance to pakistan accusing its ally of not tackling terrorists pakistan says it can't trust the us anymore and in a rare sign of conciliation north korea agrees to the first official talks with the south in two years while the us finally accepted a request to suspend military exercises during the upcoming olympics.

and i welcome you watching r.t. international this friday afternoon where it's just turned one o'clock here in moscow. now the french president has promised to clear the streets of thousands of russian rough sleeping migrants by the end of twenty seventeen seems to fall in flat he had promised housing in one form or another but instead they face police pressure to move on while trying to survive in freezing temperatures to shoulder pinsky reports now from paris. a new year may have begun but for these my quince the problem is still the same ahead is yet another freezing night on the streets of paris. the president said he wanted to resolve the problem by the end of the year

it's not resolved in the neighborhood there are another thirty camps which are settled like this and these migrants are seeking asylum and there is a problem with violence between the people who are waiting in the queue at the reception center because they want to be the first whose fault is that. it's not the fault of the migrants it's the fault of the system is poorly organized which has posed problems for two years is completely dysfunctional and creates a situation of confrontation and violence people have been injured at the reception office the people are angry at the situation because it continues in the same way and because there is no solution. one of those waiting to find a way off the streets is rafi he's been in france for seven months you look everybody's lips to him he had a very cordial about no forthcoming no water but there were about you know you know where you call your local one hundred one one i'm a little one another this is my life you look. three people sleep with me we're on

the story. is this the life you thought you would have to move. across france thousands of migrants and living in similar conditions all hand to mouth summer found shelter in tents along the canals and streets of paris others in the metro stations all a just looking for a place to call home in the last two years more than forty thousand migrants have set up camp at chavez metro station. and this is even more like a farm it's a reception center where my kids can read. it's a possibly start. riots every day hundreds sided tent is like this the base just simply won't cope with the demands despite a pledge that no migrants would be sleeping rough by the end of two thousand and

seventeen president hollande has failed to keep his promise and migrants across the country see no end in sight to their suffering so what do you think ski r.t. paris well people sleeping rough is also a problem in the u.k. but for a whole different reason an official has caused uproar there over the course remove the homeless from the streets around the venue of the royal wedding in may in fact the prime minister's even had to step into this rather we've got the story a bit later on. the u.s. is suspending its security assistance to pakistan which has long been its ally in the fight against terrorism in afghanistan washington accuses pakistan of not making a serious effort in fighting terror groups like the taliban. we are suspending security assistance security assistance only to pakistan at this time intill the

pakistani government takes decisive action against groups including the afghan taliban and the hakani network we consider them to be destabilizing the region and also targeting u.s. personnel the united states will suspend that kind of security assistance to pakistan whether it is in the wake of crumbs first tweet of the year which outlines his regret the u.s. paying pakistan billions of dollars in aid to cues washington's regional ally being a safe haven for terrorists in afghanistan which america is trying to defeat twenty diplomacy sparked a furious response so from pakistan's foreign minister so american has more matter and also the wider ramifications well the foreign minister of pakistan has issued a fierce response to trump accusing pakistan of providing safe havens for terrorists there fighting in afghanistan and not one tweet but three you ask what we've done from our bases you carried out fifty seven thousand eight hundred attacks in afghanistan thousands of civilians and soldiers became victims of the

war you initiated we stood by you treated your enemy as our own we feel guantanamo bay now history teaches us not to blindly trust the us we are sorry they were unhappy but we were not to mean ourselves any more and the foreign minister hasn't exactly held back when it comes to this particular issue he even said in the past that the terrorists that pakistan is accused of harboring were once quote darlings of the us who are being wind in dined in the white house so trumps tweets rightfully struck a nerve and immediately following those tweets pakistani officials converge for an emergency security meeting to discuss the issue but pakistanis in general haven't taken trump's tweet so kindly and ironically enough it seems to have united the country's warring factions for example iran cancerian of pakistan as they take in soft party had a pretty interesting reaction. mentally weak now the u.s. has even placed pakistan on a special watch list for allegedly violating religious freedom but with all that

being said the war in afghanistan is far from over and the u.s. has already lost thousands of lives and spent trillions of dollars but without its neighbor support it's unclear how far the u.s. can really go. me now it has been confirmed that north and south korea will meet for official talks next week it will be the first time the pair have spoken in two years and the meeting on the ninth of january will discuss the upcoming winter olympics in south korea but it's also hoped it will address recent tensions in the region to it will be held in a so-called peace village in the demilitarized zone on the border between the two countries another diplomatic breakthrough this week also saw north korea reopen a telephone hotline with the south that had been closed since twenty sixteen and then on thursday the u.s. president finally accepted sold request to perspire joint military exercises during the upcoming olympics that is in fact a complete u.

turn from just a couple of weeks ago. but these exercises have been all going for many years i mean not work to change what is spiritual well even before the talks between soul in pyongyang will agree to donald trump rushed to take credit for the progress in a twenty touted his firmness and american stance against the north the dean for term law school though tom brooks thinks that if the white house indeed paid any part in the dialogue it only made things worse these moves to have dialogue between north and south korea didn't start a year ago when trump was elected president they've been going on for some time and i think you know the white house has probably something close to nothing to do with this with these steps i think this is something by the efforts of others in him i think here the white house and helped this progress happen that the white

house has really done a lot to endanger it and i think it's a credit to both the north and south korea that they've got to stick to open talks to open dialogue and one only hopes for the sake of the people who live on the korean peninsula some good comes out of that irrespective of what tweets from donald trump. now time is running out for african migrants in israel at the moment they only have ninety days left to leave the country or they could face jail israel is currently offering them three and a half thousand dollars to relocate but if they don't the israeli prime minister has also said he will use force. actually with something here that is completely legal and completeness and szell manful traitors have a clear choice cooperate with us and leave voluntarily respectively humanely and legally all have to use other legal tools at our disposal i hope to choose to

cooperate with us. well officials do estimate that around sixty thousand people have crossed the border from egypt in recent years and a third of them have already been deported or those that remain nearly one and a half thousand the held in detention centers is one such facility is in israel's southern desert which some refer to as an open air prison just under a thousand migrants are held there where they can leave during the day if they have work but authorities have decided to close it we spoke to one of its residents but the whole lot are just exist it's not a normal life to live in a lot is not easy ten people sleep in one room you have to queue to take a shower to do anything the doctor is only here from one to three there's only one doctor for about twelve hundred people and why did i leave eritrea because eritrea is a dictatorial country that i couldn't live there you cannot do anything that you work

there like a slave for them it's all you can do you can only call it slavery but first i didn't choose to come to israel i didn't think about anything i just wanted to see where there's peace where i can take care of myself where i can protect myself what we gots opinion on this story from the writer and political commentator a big deal yes skin and also from gideon levy he's from the israeli newspaper. we face the problem so-called problem of some city seven thousand asylum seekers refugees who lift both of them have children here they should stay here they have to stay you know human the regime would expand and if it is going to expel them by force it will be one of the most sharing food stamps that is going to have ever taken note less than these they're not refugees they're criminals who crossed the border illegally not all man but you can

talk about this solemn seekers when the people come from vaca not the contrary to save their lives they how well they they have done quite a long way they didn't want to stay in egypt for example for some reason they want to benefit from a reach from a merciful society not people like you don't live a who are all true liberal radical bourgeois they live in pure white neighborhoods of tel aviv where they have no problems but the government duffy israel is here to protect this citizens of israel and the people in poor neighborhoods that maybe the roads are suffering tremendously from of this invasion of criminals who and third the contras now some of them of course behaved fine this is exactly the way that they spoke to the surtees in some european countries they change the

nature of the country sixty six. change they are off a country of nine million people i mean how race i stand that people are able sombrero has i am older i needed to say that i said earlier there are a lot of neighbor holds a terrible problem we cannot accept any illegal immigrants no one no more. or no more and we're sending them to the places where they will be safe with mani in their pocket with the money which they earned eighty percent of their iterations in europe are recognized as refugees in israel less than one percent how can you call it but races those people are fighting for their lives israel is a refugee society kidney zorba surtees seven thousand people and it's unbelievable how. to speak in such a racist way but that's israel. he watching artie we're going to take

a quick break now we'll have more news for you in ninety seconds. here's what people have been saying about rejecting. the all the show i go out of my way to. the really. is the john oliver of marty america's. apparently better than. see people you never heard of. jack for the night i wrote the world. very. seriously send us an e-mail.

hello again virtually all computers including smartphones and tablets are at risk of two major security flaws discovered in processing chips no breaches have been reported as yet but the bugs could potentially allow hack is to get hold of users passwords photos and also e-mails both floors work by exploiting the way you device handles your data it is supposed to be locked up and isolated but the meltdown bug potentially lets hackers grab it while it's being sent to apps requesting it. intel

chips used by almost all apple devices the spector bug meanwhile works a little differently but affects almost all machines and cloud based services tricks applications into leaking your private information that makes it harder to fix the flaw when in late november intel's c.e.o. told off a large chunk of his shares after he was apparently made aware of the problem with the chips goshdarn of now takes a closer look at the extent of the threat posed by the security flaws here's a safe bet if you own a computer or a smartphone a newfound vulnerability has almost certainly opened the gates to your most intimate information whether you have a p.c. america a linux computer or an android phone it doesn't matter this all could be built in to billions of devices worldwide have some pictures you're not too proud of well a hacker can access an awful lot more on your passwords encrypt emails and cached

files all of the above from the comfort of the living room you can slip onto a malicious website have your private data exposed and you won't even know about it a perfect crime security experts say the attack leaves no traces behind what's particularly embarrassing normally companies won't publish this kind of information until a fix has been released this time however someone's been trigger happy with sharing the problem which means hackers everywhere now know about it too while security updates are only beginning to come out and the fix itself is expected to come from many at a cost researchers say computers that came out just three years ago could suffer up to thirty percent before men stumble manufacturers of course are downplaying the potential impact saying the average user won't notice the difference you've done of r.t. . now president of turkey has lashed out at america apparently threatening to drop

bilateral agreements. the united states should excuse us but the laws in our bilateral ties and the bilateral accords between us are losing their validity i'm saddened to say this but this is how from now on when the statement was made after a turkish bank was convicted in the us. how can a tiller was who is a deputy director of a turkish state owned bank could now be facing up to thirty years in prison he was found guilty of making a billion dollar deal with iran despite u.s. sanctions turkey however insists the case is purely political and that the evidence was fabricated ok we're joined now by again he's a member of turkey's ruling party going to talk to us about this good afternoon thanks for coming on what do you make then of the president's statement can we expect a change in u.s. turkey relations do you think. the u.s.

district court decision was. almost sick. of the g. eight and. does the. united states. we will try hard to try hard to. review the development. why does turkey believe that this case that's taken place in the us is politically motivated . well there are the keys itself is a is a domestic issue of turkey it cannot be it's going to be subject to pork in the district of the united states and the reuters evidence for though there's a victim of a wife is off because the kids as a teacher leave people from fifty the people from for from the particularly team

thing which is unseen and unsought and seen before it's a political move to it it chooses to as a political issues and maybe by an ambitious for security who would like to leave it was and who takes the support of known to members of this organization members in the u.s. and we also know that the also the the they provided some of the convince of the court which is unacceptable their own or that the terrorist organizations for why didn't illegally take in documents to an under van tree and those are used in an airport i mean this is the situation and the port itself is that as president no one stays in very staged and i think is so hany that. the president himself. implicated in this came to. he himself is being accused of authorizing a skein war what she'll position on that. the we are very clear the

actual meeting all the sensations made this move this stage one of the everything within the legal framework of international an issue. there is no. it's not really that into international missional regulations that are there for the keep that is. it doesn't really reflect the justice the bank itself is very fluid and really lucia. and therefore what did you was this is our. own all this transactions i mean ok mr again let me leave it there we've run at a time but we do appreciate your thoughts today that was there how do and again a member of turkey's ruling party thank you. saudi arabia finally succumbed to international pressure last month to temporary reopen a key port in yemen to allow in supplies food and fuel the blockade had been seen

as worsening what the u.n. calls the world's biggest humanitarian crisis but as far as locals are concerned little has changed since the port reopened. the summit is the blockade isn't lifted we won't be able even to imagine its consequences humanitarian organizations have already warned of the worst catastrophe in the history of the yemeni people. that we don't know where to get livelihoods we are on the brink of begging for food

people die from starvation i have nothing else to say it's cheaper to die and that's better than living like this. ok let's get the thoughts now of. the middle east and north africa communications director for human rights watch has been kind enough to join us this afternoon welcome to r.t. what is human rights position here human rights watch position on the fact that this blockade has been temporarily lifted. well this is a progress i mean up until that decision was taken commercial goods because of the fuel have been severely restricted which had a big impact on the humanitarian response as you know fuel is badly needed for water pumps and for hospital generators which are basic needs so as far as we know that this isn't standard to reopen the port authority that's temporarily. florimond slow but importantly or crucially the should be no thirty day window because that's

what the coalition said i mean it has been emphasized repeatedly by the whole human rights and humanitarian community that the port of poti that needs to be opened to commercial and humanitarian goods full stop that's it should be no condition or timeline to that i mean keeping such goods blocked and therefore endangering the lives of civilians including women and children this is a violation of international humanitarian law you can see i'll stop violating the laws of war but during a limited period of time and with conditions which is basically what the saudi led coalition is saying right now and what impact is the blockade had then on yemen and what are your fears for the future if this blockade doesn't become or isn't lifted permanently. well we have documented multiple ways in which the coalition and also the who it has to be fair has interfered with human military aid and access i mean even during workers have been arrested by the. police also limited access to goods in di's which is human stirred largest city the coalition on its side. has

a materially diverted and elated fuel tankers of course to keep or to blockade. increase destructions to yemen to look at human rights organizations including human rights watch except for. so now that they say that they reopened it if with thirty days but again you don't push it with the laws of war either you respect them or you've violated them and you're a war criminal i mean starving civilians depriving them of essential goods and medicine as water arctic this is a war crime now the consequences are already devastating the coalition's restrictions on and an essential goods to yemen's civilians are worsening the catastrophe and again it's a violation of international humanitarian law the numbers we know from u.s. sources are just horrifying and last year u.n. said that six point eight million yemenis civilians were on the brink of famine now it's more than eight million this is quickly now yemen is the worst largest humanitarian crisis in the world and also it's the poorest country in the middle east eighty to ninety percent of the populations needs in food medicine and fuel

depend on imports as of last november seven million people were dependent on food aid to survive this is in the middle of a look at it and nearly a million people have cholera. add to this that an estimated two million children suffer from severe malnutrition and that the country's hospitals have been closed and the only sixty million people that access to clean water it's not just us who are saying it's this the world humanitarian the world's worst humanitarian catastrophe the u.n. says sure it is a drastic situation kathleen really appreciate you coming on to r.t. this afternoon we'll have to wrap it up there that i was akhmed. from human rights watch thank you. he was he wants a good to have you company the softening we're back with more news in just a huff and.

los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you heard someone wanted to ring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. on
