extreme hardship in france thousands of migrants continue to sleep rough there despite president micron's promise to find them all shelter before the end of twenty seventeen coming up in the next few minutes we'll hear some of their personal stories as. you look at this moment noon through people to reason we're on the story is this the life you thought you would have. the president of turkey lashes out at america apparently threatening to drop bilateral agreements now after a turkish bank has been convicted in the u.s. . and a rare sign of reconciliation north korea agrees to the first official talks with the south in two years while the u.s. finally accepted a request to suspend military exercises during the forthcoming in the six.

by this is r.t. life marty h.q. moscow my name's kevin owen thanks check this out this hour it's just turned six pm here now this friday evening and first a promise by the french president to move thousands of migrants off the country streets by the end of twenty seventeen appears to have fallen very flat he had given his word that the rough sleepers would be found shelter but instead many are still living in abysmal conditions and facing bitter temperatures and constant police pressure or do bensky report the new year may have begun but fit these my quince the problem is still the same i hate is yet another freezing night on the streets of paris. no question 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 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 peaceful today and it is not the fault of the migrants it's the fault of the system is poorly organized which is pose 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 slipped in here already call about more food. water but you know. your local one hundred one one i'm a little and this is my life. three people sleep with me the

story. is this the life you thought you would have moved. across france thousands of migrants a 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 metro station. and this is why they come it's a reception center where migrants can register to possibly start a new life new cards every day hundreds of scientists and his like face and 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 has failed to keep his promise and migrants across the country see no end in sight to their suffering. r.t. paris you know the headlines today the turkish president's lashed out at americans apparently threatening to drop bilateral agreements now 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 it will be from now on took a journalist allotting kill it shows more on the did tearing into deteriorating relations again between ankara and washington. turkish and u.s. relations have been deteriorating again in the last just came after the conviction of turkish banker and who isn't an executive of a state owned turkish bank and it came after the testimony of

a turkish iranian gold trader who is a convict in the united states for evading u.s. sanctions in iran now this whole trial may lead up to thirty years in prison for these comments lately president out of the on the head yet again condemned these actions of the united states. if this is the u.s. understanding of justice then the world is doomed for one thing the u.s. should review its understanding of justice and at the same time strengthen it while the turkish government sees this trial as a u.s. intervention to its internal affairs and this is not the first time that the nato allies have been deteriorating their relationships this bad it has been happening since two thousand and sixteen. in turkey and the president of the one sais

that this whole trial has been based on a made up fabricated evidence that have been provided by an islamic cleric whose name is. who also lives in the united states and who is believed to be behind a coup. it's worth it in mind that relations between turkey and the us have faced a number of hurdles and chris truong against american support for kurdish fighters in syria for a start while washington's refused for to the girl and he's the guy in korea cuse is of masterminding the twenty sixteen coup attempt then in august you may recall u.s. authorities charged present day the world's bodyguard with attacking protesters in washington also spoke to middle east expert ali risky thinks the turkish leaders latest word should be taken seriously here this isn't the first time that the turkish president of. iran makes such fiery statements when it comes to something i think yes it's very possible or do go on in the midst of it do obvious disagreements with the americans has responded by further strengthen ties with

countries like russia and iran where you do have this anti uranium iranian atmosphere which is prevailing in washington and so i think that further pushes the entire thing anyone who could be associated with being close to iran if you if you take it from that perspective it could be politically motivated maybe something more important which we could refer to is this the downward spiral we have in u.s. tires with the muslim countries in general we already have this muslim muslim anger from the poor from the street now or from politicians made time relations with america in pakistan look to be turning sour as well protests have broken out in islamabad where activists have been burning u.s. flags and portraits of donald trump he comes up to washington suspended his security assistance to the country which has long been the law in its fight against terrorism in afghanistan. 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 haqqani network we consider them to be destabilizing the region and also targeting u.s. personnel the united states will suspend. and that kind of security assistance to pakistan it's in the wake of trump's tweet that outlined his regret at the u.s. paying pakistan billions of dollars in aid he's accused washington's regional i know of being a safe haven for terrorists in afghanistan which of course america is trying to defeat terms to diplomacy spoke to fear if they spawn some from pakistan's foreign minister in not just one but three tweets you ask what we've done from our bases you carried out fifty seven thousand eight hundred attacks in afghanistan thousands of our 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 u.s. we are sorry they are unhappy but we were not to mean ourselves anymore a quick reminder that the u.s. of course went into afghanistan to remove the taliban way back in two thousand and one over two thousand four hundred soldiers have been killed since then and about two trillion dollars spent on the conflict and it's now known as the longest war in u.s. history we're told to the author of blood on our hands the american invasion and destruction of iraq he believes that washington's move regarding pakistan may have a different effect than what's intended. in the past when the u.s. has pressured pakistan to drive militants out of its so-called safe havens. this is not necessarily worked out as the u.s. would hope two years ago in twenty sixteen pakistan did exactly that and drove. you know hundreds or thousands of foreign fighters from the border areas to

northern afghanistan and join the taliban there so and infact helping to strengthen what has been really a resurgence of the taliban in northern afghanistan i think in the larger geopolitics of the situation pakistan has always had a close alliance also with china and i think you know these kind of actions by the us could simply drive pakistan into much closer relations with china which i'm sure is not really what the u.s. would want. elsewhere in the world time's running out for could migrants and asylum seekers in israel they want to go ninety days left to leave the country really good for his jail israel's currently offering them three thousand five hundred dollars to relocate but if they don't the israeli prime minister says he will use force. show me where doing something here that is completely legal and completeness and

shal be infiltrators 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 officials estimate that around sixty thousand people have crossed the border from egypt in recent years a third of them have been deported back again but of those that remain nearly one and a half thousand they're held in detention centers one such facility is in israel's southern negev desert which some refer to now is the open air prison just under a thousand migrants held there at the moment they can leave during the day if they've got work but in another twist the authorities have now decided to close that place we spoke to one of its residents the her in a whole lot i 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 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 and first i didn't choose to come to israel i didn't think about anything i just wanted to see where there is peace where i can take care of myself where i can protect myself we've got opinion on this writer and political commentator and also gideon levy from the israeli newspaper. we face the problem so-called problem of some city seven so isn't the sign him 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 israel had 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 vatican three to 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 our reach from a merciful society now 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 duffey 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 the nature of a country of nine million people i mean how race i stand that people are here both sombrero his i am older i am getting a say that i said just america does a lot of neighborhoods terrible problem we cannot accept any illegal immigrants no one no more. no more and west sending them to the places where they will be safe with a mani in their pocket of with the money which they earned eighty percent over there in three and in europe are recognized as refugees in israel less than one percent how can you call it but the races those people are fighting for their lives israel is a refugee society kid zorba surtees seven thousand people and it's

unbelievable how. to speak in such a racist way but that's is it. six mosco time still a lot ahead just after a quick break next to see the rebels it was ravaged yemen of reportedly for. saudi arabia a couple of hours ago look at the what the situation in yemen we're going to have to live in a couple of minutes from red cross representatives. politicians to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to listen. to going to be

first to see what the korean people are. interested all reasonable why. they should. the story very live at the moment saudi arabia has reportedly intercepted a ballistic missile fired over the border by yemen's who three rebels it's not the south to noon it's said to have been aimed at

a military camp in the southern saudi city of now drowned it comes just weeks after saudi arabia finally caved in to international pressure and temporarily reopened a key port in yemen to allow in supplies of food and fuel the united nations says riyadh's long blockade and its involvement in the war in yemen has helped create the world's most grave humanitarian crisis. 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 livelihood 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 it's bad than living like this. so the rebels intervention in yemen began couple years ago back in twenty fifteen it's got the backing has been back in the government there of president hardy against the who thinks that's the crux of it here rio it stands accused of committing war crimes against the yemeni people its air strikes have crippled much of the country's infrastructure and that blockade has left around twenty million people in dire need of food and medical aid a huge cholera problem there as well let's talk to you hear from the international committee of red cross. there are thinking of having to face there and deal with so

thanks for taking a minute or two out to talk to us first off why do you think so little aid has been arriving in the port city of odessa. while the matter of the fact. for since the fourth of november and then the restriction of arrival of goods and aid into yemen imposed by the saudi led coalition. no vessels have reached yemen and only few goods have reached yemen but then since the announce opening and the really the. lifting of the restrictions on the imports in yemen we have had information that vessels did reach yemen carrying cargo and fueled the most needed fuel so the reasons are the restrictions on imports that needed and need still need to be lifted so you would hope for better you'd hope for more to be let in year. yes of course i mean you have to remember that

yemen is a country that depends on imports ninety percent of its needs are from imports so when you have three years of stating war when you have restrictions on imports and people cannot have enough to eat in and to feed their families every day this is when you see the bigger picture of things when you look at twenty four million people who are deprived of the basic commodities that we all have free access to and the fact that this is handled by the restrictions on the arrival of goods humanitarian aid but most importantly actually commercial goods that are more important than humanitarian aid because you cannot feed a population of twenty seven million people just by by providing humanitarian aid so these are the restrictions that on top of all those horrors of war although shortages there's of course there's surrenders color breaks past the million mark isn't it health authorities are saying even late last year has passed

a million what how is that progressing now is the situation getting worse is under control. well the situation today i mean specifically of cholera is under control we have we have to remember that these are committed committed figure of people who are suspected of contracting cholera during this period but it's still very alarming and still very worrying to know this because color. you know we are we are not in the middle ages so this is a disease that is the outcome of restrictions this is the disease that is the outcome of the limitations in access to clean water sewage systems everywhere garbage in the streets and these are limited by the fact that there are no access to fuel the fuel is essential for the water pumping stations that provide clean water automatically and also for the working of hospitals you have to also remember that this is a health care system that is failing if not at the brink of complete collapse this

is a health care system or only forty five percent of hospitals are working today and then without the fuel there is limited by the restrictions on imports these hospitals cannot function so all that center connected and this would yield more problems in terms of the health sector this is how does a key here of course if you had a message for him tonight what would it be. the message would be to everyone and to all the parties to this conflict to to remember that this is about the civilians this is about the livelihood of people restrictions would not help we need to alleviate all restrictions on the entry of aid for humanitarian aid and goods i mean i reiterate the importance of fuel and howard the important it is to not block fuel from reaching yemen because without fuel the life cycle in yemen would stop health water etc so my message to all parties in this conflict is to leave you all forms of restrictions either of the entry of goods and aid into yemen

all of the actual movement of aid within limits out thanks ever so much for your time here kelly and from the red cross. a breakthrough may be little one at least north and south korea have confirmed they will meet for official talks next week for the first time in two years the meeting on the ninth of january will see officials discuss the upcoming winter olympics in south korea it's also hoped it will address recent tensions in the region it's going to be held in the so-called peace village in the demilitarized zone on the border between the two countries and there's another diplomatic breakthrough as well this week saw north korea reopen the telephone hotline with the south it had been closed since twenty sixteen on thursday to the u.s. president finally accepted souls request to perspire on joint military drills during the forthcoming lympics that was despite my washington recently suggesting they're going to go ahead anyway but these are exercises.

which are in what is good or. evil for the talks to solemn pyongyang agreed donald trump had been rushing to take credit for the signs of progress in a tweet he praised his strength and the american stance political and legal expert tom brooks told us though that if the white house had played any role in the dialogue it probably 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 and not of him i think here to the white house and help this progress happen the white house has really done a lot to endanger it and i think it's

a credit to both sides in north and south korea that they've got to stick to open talks to open dialogue and and one only hopes for the sake of the people who live on the korean peninsula that some good comes out of that irrespective of what tweets come out of from donald trump donald trump the north korean leader kim jong un of course exchanged about raja threats and personal insults over the past year but this month there's insult to particularly bizarre turn after the u.s. president began bragging about the size of his nuclear button and it seems the tribes obsessed with being the biggest and the best. look at those hands are they small. and he referred to my hands if they're smaller something else must be sprawled i guarantee you this no problem. i have the biggest crowds biggest idea because standing ovations best the best in the world

the greatest health care plan very very successful i would build the greatest wall you have ever seen finest i happen to be underrated by the way. we are overhead bragging about who has the bigger butt who got the big you should be bragging about the size of your missile i. leave you enough. that's nice round up so far this friday from a money as kevin i would more news for me and thirty great programs from us but

after this quick break. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game great so well with. the base it's going to. hello my name's peter and i've been living in russia for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got in the time. i

mean because it just. seems wrong.

to shape out just to come out ahead and in. the trail. when some find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. eleven pm in the french quarters police station. the policemen using sydney's application are starting their shift. i should say. this franklin has already been working all day as the city police officer. but at night he chooses to extend his work day in the unit that uses sydney's application. my regular shift was two twenty five to eleven o'clock pm

and then i go from start twelve am to six and walk a long day but it's worth it in the end. is over time is paid for by the millionaire. before leading police officers of the task force collect their equipment. those tablets with the app. and the small electric cars. once the app is turned on they head to the french quarter. sidney torres is having dinner there with his son. but he's always connected to his phone. drug dealing decatur and that's been a right here. and do his people have reported the presence of a.
