the dire humanitarian situation in the war ravaged country. just after nine pm here in the russian capital welcome to r.t. international thanks for chiming in on you know one of our top story this hour a promise by the french president to move the functions of migrants off the country streets by band of twenty seven dean has fallen flat he had given his word that the rough sleepers would be found shelter but instead many are still living in abysmal conditions facing bitter temperatures and constant police pressure. 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. president said he wanted to
1:02 pm
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 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 nor forthcoming no water but there were about you know you know very well in here look one hundred one one another one another this is my life
1:03 pm
you know look this man i knew in three people to put me on the story. is this the life you thought you would have to move. across france thousands of migrants a living in similar conditions all hand to mouth some have 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 why they come it's a reception center where migrants convention. to possibly start to. run every day hundreds by side and just like this and they just simply won't cope with the demands despite
1:04 pm
a pledge that no migrants would be sleeping rough and she thousand and seventeen president might call and has failed to keep his promise and my clients across the country see no end in sight to their suffering so that you can ski. paris who according to the lead has more than one hundred seventy thousand migrants made it to europe by crossing the made in twenty seventeen france isn't the only country where there is discord over how to deal with the new arrivals austria's far right vice chancellor recently suggested the bay should be housed and they can the army barracks and not a curfew should be imposed on them. maybe we could use our empty barracks he says notion was considering he was just going to extensively in the past and should we have a curfew for every migrants to return to the barracks. while the austrian vice chancellor there are speaking the right wing populist danish people's party has gone even
1:05 pm
further it wants a new mosques in certain areas under curfew on young people in what they call. now we saw an austrian lawmaker on a professor of political science and the university about their views on the suggestion. it's sure is really clearly inhuman it's against the human rights and it's really not a suggestion that someone. think about it and it doesn't help for the integration of these people because as long as they were mixed with the people learning the language and their children going to attending the same schools that would be the right political issue how to deal with these people not just present them. in an official place it's mainly. about control and the about take them out of society even visibly we have some. migrants and they debate and i would say
1:06 pm
european union to sanction those countries so that quota system does not leave. the turkish president has taken aim at american and is a partly threatening to drop by lateral 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 to be from now on. turkish journalists alex seen kill a chance more now in relations between ankara and washington. turkish and u.s. relations have been deteriorating again in the last incident just came after the conviction of a turkish banker and who is in executive of a state owned turkish bank and it came after the testimony of the turkish iranian gold trader who is a convict in the united states for evading u.s.
1:07 pm
sanctions in iran now this whole trial may lead up to thirty years in prison for these comics lately present are due on head yet again condemned these actions of the united states. if this is the u.s. understanding of justice in 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 terry rating 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
1:08 pm
name is. who also lives in the united states and who is believed to be behind a coup. well it is worth bearing in mind that relations between turkey and the u.s. have faced a number of hurdles and is strongly against american support for kurdish fighters in syria while washington has refused to extradite for to a girl and who accuses of masterminding the twenty sixth attempt and in august u.s. authorities charged president earlier ones bodyguard with attacking protesters in washington. the middle east expert ali risk thinks the turkish leaders latest words should be taken seriously this isn't the first time that the turkish president of russia or divine makes such fiery statements when it comes to something i think yes it's very possible. in the midst of it doing all these disagreements with the americans has responded by further strengthening five six with countries like russia and iran you do have this anti uranium iranian atmosphere which is
1:09 pm
prevailing in washington and so i think that pushes the entire thing anyone who could be associated with being close to iran 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. ties with the muslim countries in general we already have this mostly muslim anger from the from the street now from politicians. who america's relations with pakistan look to be turning sour as well protests have broken out in islamabad with activists burning u.s. flags on portraits of donald trump the pakistani foreign minister say the alliance with the u.s. is over as his country won't be treated as a whipping boy it comes after washington suspended its security assistance to the country which has long been its ally in the fight against terrorism in afghanistan . we are suspending security assistance security assistance only to pakistan at
1:10 pm
this time in till 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 that kind of security assistance to pakistan. well donald trump showed regret the u.s. paying billions to pakistan over the years and accuse their ally of being a safe haven for terrorists enough. the twitter rant however sparked a furious response from the pakistani foreign minister just a quick reminder that the u.s. of course went into afghanistan true of the taliban back in two thousand and one there were twenty four hundred soldiers have been killed since then around two trillion dollars spent in the conflict it's no known as the longest war in u.s. history senior political analyst and columnist moloch. trump's move regarding
1:11 pm
pakistan is an attempt to shift the blame for a failed war. this is all the pressure tactics because when united states is completely fair enough to understand so it's the time and they are finding some lame excuses to put the responsibility of this freely on pakistan but pakistan definitely have a great sacrifices in the water against terrorism and they have lost a lot of people in this what against terrorism the diplomats you don't want to comes through to enter an event something is going to be cited by the police and not. so then how things go forward and at this time i think that the united states is going to be alone in afghanistan because they will face a very tough time because the taliban is already in afghanistan are divided into the regular sections and various factions. saudi arabia has reportedly intercepted a ballistic missile fired over the border by yemen's hutu rebels it's said to have been aimed at a military camp in the southern city of not around it comes just weeks after saudi
1:12 pm
arabia finally caved to international pressure temporarily reopened to keep order in yemen to allow and supplies of food and fuel to the united nations blockade its involvement in the war in yemen has helped create the world's most grave humanitarian crisis. that's tomorrow 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.
1:13 pm
that we don't know where to get the livelihood we on the brink of begging for food people die from starvation i have nothing else to say it's too good to die and it's better than living like this. all the saudis intervention in yemen began in twenty fifteen it's been backing the government of president hadi against the fifty's. it's called a partner stand accused of committing war crimes against the yemeni people it's airstrikes have crippled much of the country's infrastructure and the blockade has left around twenty million people in dire need of food and medical aid we discussed the crisis what representative from human rights watch the red cross. or as we know that this isn't stand to reopen today that's temporarily. florimond slow but importantly or crucially the should be no thirty day window because that's what the
1:14 pm
coalition said i mean it has been emphasized repeatedly by the whole human rights and humanitarian community that the force of the day that needs to be opened to commercial and humanitarian goods full stop should be no condition or timeline to that i mean keeping such goods blocked and therefore in danger in the lives of civilians. women and children this is a violation of international humanitarian law 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 over there 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 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
1:15 pm
important than humanitarian aid because you cannot feed up with a population of twenty seven million people just by by providing humanitarian aid. russia has criticized america to call an emergency un security council session on iran or a week long mass protest saw twenty one people killed moscow says the u.n. shouldn't interfere in what it sees as a strictly internal issue. ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah i. was. killed not by now i takes a look out the international reaction to america's no. moscow has criticized
1:16 pm
washington for promoting the protests in iran saying that they are meddling in iran's internal affairs and trying to foment unrest now over the past week there have been protests in iran and we've heard leaders of the united states speaking about them and encouraging the protestors while accusing the government of iran of tyranny our administration will continue to support the protesters in the cool for freedom washington intervenes. this point we've also heard from u.s. allies that have been quite critical of the way u.s. leaders have been responding to events in iran the president of france for example spoke up and said that this is an issue that iranians need to handle among themselves this is not something that international bodies should be intervening in . these this is a crisis taken place today in the run. to things that change would not come from outside but from the rain young people. our role in this matter is to be on the
1:17 pm
lookout to be scrupulous in shore from where we stand with people's rights and not the meeting is set to take place in a few hours and as the international body gathers as the fifteen members of the body that leaves the united nations assemble at this point we don't have a proposed resolution from the united states that so the world is watching new york at this point and wondering exactly what u.s. leaders will say it will be interesting also to see how the international community response to the united states which will be taking the floor at the u.n. security council to address the issue of protests in iran. the french president's decision to introduce a law to battle so-called fake news that's have been on expect a twist with a spike in fake stories appearing online people are angry by the new legislation started posting under the inventor of fake news this one for example suggests that money with twitter account has been suspended the french president veiled his plans
1:18 pm
to journalists in paris on whedon's they claiming the country has to protect itself from any i'd side interference while the people we spoke to in the hospital believe that it's not for him a crime to the side what's fake or not. but i will say that the first ones who make fake news are the presidential candidates who do not keep their promises this is the real fake news that should be that person who will take care of it is there going to be in. there something. this new here is it not to the press the plume says will go more and more in this direction for bede everything we're prevented from thinking so much that we no longer know how to think for ourselves. for the moment almost always come back to george orwell's novel nineteen eighty-four with the ministry of misinformation i really feel like will ready and the people outside of it. but french politician. express support from across move saying that fighting
1:19 pm
fake news is a way to protect democracy and a method to help promote critical thinking and the french minister of culture has also thrown his backing behind the last thing the idea is not about limiting freedom of expression but fighting propaganda to say new market share for the coalition in france joins us live once again on the program always good to have your company. yet some reaction to the plan from the public but genuine fake news that is something surely that needs to be addressed mccrone ses though that the move will protect democracy strengthen french legislation to do that is it fair to say that this law will do that and not have the reverse effect it's a difficult one. no i don't think so unfortunately when mr micro speaks about fake news his targeting a social network he's targeting free speech on the internet i mean if this really
1:20 pm
was. about a law condemning fake news then he should start and he was talking to the dryness with you should start talking to the journalist of french mainstream media who spread for a fake news on a daily basis and he didn't do that why because a lot of these french mainstream media belong to all the guards who are mr martin's friend who put him in power people like exactly. who is now deceased all supported whole in their mainstream media during the campaign there was no information there was no law against fake news at that time so a wide now that he's in power he is not targeting mainstream media because they're going in same direction he is he's targeting people on the web who have different opinions who have an alternative point of view to much of these mainstream media and that's what i think is totally proposed by emanuel michael to suggest something that this is anti constitutional don't forget that in france the decoration of the rights of man of the citizen says that freedom of speech is one of man's most
1:21 pm
precious rights and why would we have a president or the french or a book republic which should be above the constitution above this declaration and this is why a lot of french people are actually quite mad when they hear this this french minister of culture recently said that the law will help to protect the work of journalists what will this law actually change. well actually what they're suggesting the suggestion so far is saying that during political campaigns it will be easy to take down false information that you can go to a judge to get an information ban from the internet you can ban an internet website people are also saying that they would stop media which would be state sponsored from other countries from airing in france which is actually quite crazy when you think that france has one of the major and biggest networks in the world of diffusion of state sponsored i would say propaganda via you falls for example are you for something us or not and all major countries do this so these are some of
1:22 pm
the examples that we've been hearing so far on how they can take information out of the web and again don't forget that who is to say what is fake news or not this is dangerous this is actually one thousand nine hundred four we're going to have people who are already in power and who are going to be saying this is true this is not true this is exactly a ministry of propaganda i mean if we really are a democracy then people all people should be able to express their opinions whether they're from the left from the right from whatever sensibility political sensibility everybody has to be able to express themselves and don't forget that we have never had so much access to information today when there is fake news if people are old enough to vote then they're and to understand the politics of france or the or the world today then they're old enough to get information to debunk fake news themselves and they don't need a big brother to do that for them just stay on the speech and whedon stay the french president didn't mention any foreign media in particular but he has been pressuring russian media outlets are channel about nick since he was elected what
1:23 pm
measures do you think mccrone realistically can take against foreign media. well he could try to pass a specific bill saying that foreign media would be banned in france which would be quite crazy this would mean that a lot of foreign media as i said to the b.b.c. would be bad in france and i think this is something which is just not possible they do what they're doing actually they would ban are to us but no journalists from attending press conferences that they do something like that or they would make some specific law they are actually capable macro and his and his team to make a specific ban on r.t. and pretext some crazy story coming from the u.s. on on propaganda or foreign influence which is again because a lot of the media in france today is state owned and is already apparent to propaganda and the mainstream media which is not a state owned belongs to media moguls who are friends of the elite in power today so there are people who have doing it i think that people would react very badly
1:24 pm
very badly but he did that. some kind of response and he wouldn't you nicolette markovitch political thank you very much for your time this are. not virtually all computers including smartphones and tablets are at risk from two major security flaws discovered in processing chips no breaches have been reported but the bugs could potentially a lot of hackers to get one of users pos words photos and e-mail us your data is supposed to be locked up and isolated but both flaws can move iran and those protections the so-called melt down bug affects intel chips that are installed in nearly all personal computers and some apple devices while a floor known as spectrum may affect even more devices on cloud based servers. and later november intel c.e.o. sold off a large chunk of his shares after he was apparently made aware of the problem with the chips are down of takes a closer look now at the extent of the threat posed by the two new security flaws
1:25 pm
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 whole 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 your passwords encrypt in keys 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
1:26 pm
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. . britain's getting ready for another royal wedding this year however one local official might have gone a bit too far with the preparations he called on the police to remove rough sleepers ahead of the big day that didn't go down well with the public and even the country's prime minister. prince harry and megan michael. prince harry got it. happened and how i related to this to happen yeah mine only happened.
1:27 pm
sadly there is an epidemic of rust sleeping in vagrancy in windsor the whole situation presents a beautiful town in a sadly unfavorable light. it's absolutely abhorrent that anybody has got these views in this day and age especially a leading councillor of the borough.
1:28 pm

1:29 pm
. it works greetings and salutations well i'm sure by now hawk watchers many you have not been able to avoid the round the clock news coverage of the donald trump steve bannan fugit which is like watching two characters in the book house king novel battle over who could give flo the gold tooth waitress a better time everybody slows down for a car wreck especially an oily alcohol fuelled one but while the mainstream media dazzled us with close ups of donald and steve all day long they ignored or curiously censored some of the bigger news stories of the week like say journalist

james rhizomes blistering recounting of his days working the national security intelligence community beat at the new york times titled the biggest secret my life as a new york times reporter in the shadow of the war on terror the fifteen thousand word piece published by the intercept isn't eyeopening indictment of just how low freedom of the press has fallen in the editorial board rooms of one of the world's most influential newspapers and how far both the bush and obama administrations.
