are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is art international thomas glad to have you with us. now an emergency un security council meeting to discuss the mass anti-government protests that engulfed iran has finished up in new york this session was called by washington which has voiced its strong support for the demonstrators are up and tells us what was said during the meeting. the meeting was called by the united states an emergency meeting of the fifteen member body that leads the u.n. the security council now the meeting opened with nikki haley she is the representative of the united states and she voiced strong support for the iranian protesters calling them courageous talking about the usa quote standing in solidarity with the iranian protest she also went on a tirade against the iranian government the united states stands unapologetically

with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves prosperity for their families and dignity for their nation we will not be quiet no dishonest attempt to call the protesters puppets of foreign powers will change that if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer it now immediately following the remarks from nikki haley representing the usa we then heard from the representative of france and france is a country that generally agrees with the united states in u.n. security council proceedings however if you heard what the french representative had to say he wasn't exactly agreeing with nikki haley he emphasized the importance of the nuclear agreement between the p five plus one countries and iran remaining intact and he talked about how this is really an internal matter in iran is it because you don't know if you mr president it is up to the iranians and to the

iranians alone to pursue peaceful dialogue a dialogue based on full respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the iranian people we must react appropriately to what's been going on in other words we must ensure that we remain watchful and vigilant about what is happening during these peaceful protests following that we heard from other members of the fifteen member body we heard from china other countries and we heard from the russian representative now the russian representatives. question why this meeting was taking place as this was unrest in iran and then emphasized the importance of stability in the region and opposing the spread of terrorism and why it was probably not a good idea for foreign countries to be escalating and promoting unrest in iran the chimps to show up at it why did the u.s. call for an emergency meeting if the political situation in iran has stabilized we should think washington in this case since america's energetic and broad could have

messages to the arena and people who have brought them closer together oh sure there are anti-american feelings and we get the impression that some logically unexplainable allergies are keeping the us blind which to a rational evaluation of what is happening in the country they simply want to believe what they're seeing is true. because the meeting directly related to issues in iran the islamic republic of iran was able to then address the security council meeting now the iranian representative he talked about how iran is a democratic country in his view and argued that people in iran do have the right to protest however they don't have the right to do so violently then talked about how there have been instances of violence in the recent protests and pointed to the usa being involved in a fomenting these acts of violence on the meeting kind of ended on conclusively so people are wondering exactly what came out of the meeting why did this meeting take place and people are wondering exactly what will happen next as we continue to hear

support for these protests in iran by the leaders of the united states. earlier we were joined by a political analyst and a commentator shabbir a somali who believes that those who want to ferment strife in iran will not be successful. i think those people who said that this is an internal iranian issue absolutely correct because it is the protests started because of. economic problems people are a little bit upset with certain economic policies where the price of things is certainly over and you have telegram accounts by the barrel load targets in iran teaching people how to make most of comp sales how to make i.d.'s how to assassinate people this is not normal and then all of a sudden you have trump and nikki haley middle east people coming along and saying that you know. we stand with the people of iran this is america israel

saudi arabia interfering at least from a distance within iran's internal affairs so to create a serious style civil war inside iran this is not going to happen iran is far more resilient and the government is wiser and more importantly the world is wiser. turkey's president has taken aim at washington over the conviction of a turkish national in the us and is reportedly now ready to back out of longstanding agreements between the two nations 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 turkish turkish journalist a lot in the queue each has more on the breakdown in ties to. 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. sanctions in iran now this whole trial may lead up to thirty years in prison for these comics lately president out of the on the head yet again condemned these actions of the united states i mean 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 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 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. where it is worth bearing in mind that relations between turkey and the u.s. have faced a number of hurdles is strongly against american support for kurdish fighters in syria while washington has refused to extradite for to a girl who queues is of masterminding the two thousand and sixteen coup attempt and in august u.s. authorities charged president barchi guard with attacking protesters in washington . middle east expert thinks the turkish leaders the latest words could have much wider consequences this isn't the first time that the turkish president of. iran make such fiery statements when it comes to something i think yes it's very

possible that in the months to be doing all these disagreements with the americans has responded by through the spring thing five six with countries like russia and iran and you do have this anti uranium iranian atmosphere which is 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 streets and now from politicians in washington as relations with pakistan look to be turning sour as well protests have broken out in islamabad with activist burning american flags and portraits of the pakistani foreign minister says the alliance with the u.s. is over as this country won't be treated as quote

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 this time and still 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. expressed frustration this week at the u.s. having paid billions to pakistan over the decades while also accusing the nation of being a safe haven for terrorists in afghanistan the twitter outburst sparked a furious response from the pakistani foreign minister a quick reminder that the u.s. went into afghanistan to remove the taliban back in two thousand and one over twenty four hundred soldiers have been killed since then and about two trillion

dollars has been spent in the conflict which is now considered the longest war in u.s. history veteran political analyst and columnist. says pakistan move is an attempt to shift blame for a failed war. this is all the pressure tactics because when united states is completely fair enough honest so it's the time and they are finding some lame excuses to put the responsibility. on pakistan but pakistan definitely have a great sacrifice is in the water against terrorism and they have lost a lot of people in this what i guessed at it is i'm a diplomat you don't want to try to invent something is going to be cited by the tweets and not. so then how to go forward and at this time i think that the united states is going to be alone in afghanistan because a very tough time because the taliban is already in afghanistan are divided into the radio sections ideas factions right i'll be back in just a little bit with more news after a short break torchbearer to international. seem

wrong. but don't just don't. let me. get to shape out just didn't come out to. it in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. somehow want to. have to be right to be

close that's what before three of them can't be good get. interested always in the water. or should. i welcome back this is our t. international night promised by the french president to move thousands of migrants off the country's streets by the end of two thousand and fifteen and seventeen excuse me has fallen flat he had given his word of the homeless would be found a 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. 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 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 very well here local one hundred one one i'm

a little one another this is my life you know this man i knew three people to put me on 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 as metro station. and it is more like a car it's a reception center where my kids can read. possibly start. every day hundreds of sites and just like the base just simply won't cope with the demands despite

a pledge that new migrants would be sleeping rough and she thousand and seventeen president has failed to keep his promise and my clients across the country see no end in sight to their suffering. will cording to the latest data more than one hundred seventy thousand migrants made it to europe by crossing the mediterranean in two thousand and seventeen and france is not the only country where there is discord over how to deal with the new arrivals austria's far right vice chancellor recently suggested that they should be housed in vacant on the barracks and have a curfew imposed upon them. maybe we could use our empty barracks its notion worth considering it was discussed extensively in the past should we have a curfew for every migrant to return to the barracks and so that was the austrian vice chancellor there and the right wing populist danish people's party has gone even further it wants a ban on new mosques in certain areas and

a curfew on young people in what they call ghettos we consulted an austrian lawmaker and a professor of political science out of me in a university for their views on the proposal it's sure is really clearly inhuman it's against their human rights and it's really not a suggestion that someone should think about it and it doesn't help for the integration of these people because as long as they were mixed with the people who are learning the language and the children attending the same schools that would be the right political issue of how to deal with these people not just present them. in an official place it's mainly. about control and about take them out of society if you have some european states which would not take any asylum seekers and. my guidance and debate with the european union to

sanction those congress so they call it a system does not. french president's decision to seek new legislation to battle so-called fake news has resulted in an unexpected backlash with a spike in satirical fake stories suddenly appearing online people angered by the proposed law have started posting under the hash tag invent your fake news this tweet for example suggests that a manual twitter account has been suspended another mocked the idea that if the government can offer new innovative solutions to a number of crises one tweet even said it was a micron's old opponent who in fact was elected president last year. a french president unveiled his plans to journalists in paris on wednesday claiming the country has to protect itself from any outside interference or the people we spoke to in the capital believe that it should not be up to me to decide what is fake and what is not possible 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 banned who will take care of it is there going to be an anti fake news brigade or something said through this door here is it not to the press afloat since we go more and more in this direction we forbid everything we are prevented from thinking so much that we no longer know how to think for ourselves. from almost always come back to george novel nineteen eighty-four with the ministry of misinformation i really feel like we're ready and the people outside of french politicians though have expressed support from a move saying that finding 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 her backing behind the proposed law saying that the idea is not about limiting freedom of expression but fighting propaganda earlier we spoke to a france based political analyst who says we have access to enough information to

debunk fake news without the government's help. this is anti constitutional don't forget that in france the declaration of the rights of man of the citizen says that freedom of speech is one of man's most precious rights forcefully when mr mark speaks about fake news he is targeting a social network he's targeting free speech on the internet i mean if this really was. about a law condemning fake news then he should start and he was talking to the dryness was you should start talking to the journalist a 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 and who put him in power p. 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 world today then they're old enough to get the information to debunk fake news themselves

and they don't need a big brother to do that for them. saudi arabia has reportedly intercepted a ballistic missile fired over the border by humans who at the rebels it is said to have been aimed at a military camp in the southern saudi city of. it comes just weeks after saudi arabia finally caved to international pressure and temporarily reopened a key port in yemen to allow in supplies of food and fuel united nations says it riyadh's 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 livelihoods 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. saudi arabia's intervention in yemen began in two thousand and fifteen it has been been backing the government of president hadi against the peace riyadh and its coalition partners stand accused of committing war crimes against the yemeni people its air strikes 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 discuss the crisis with representatives from human rights watch and the red cross.

for as we know this didn'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 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 endangering the lives of civilians including 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 of a devastating war when you have restrictions on imports and people cannot have enough to eat 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 up with a population of twenty seven million people just by by providing humanitarian aid and that does for me i'll be back in about thirty five minutes with a full look at your news you are watching art international could have a. whole make its manufacture case sensitive to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round. the one percent. we can

all middle of the room six. billion. everybody i'm stephen barbee task hollywood guy suspects every proud american first. george washington and r.v. . this is my buddy max famous financial guru a little bit different. though no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun every day americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people.

hello my name's peter and i've been living in bushnell for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got in the time. i need to just published or. i still does not. belong.

this is boom bust i'm bart chilton broadcasting from washington d.c. . today the bureau of labor statistics released their new jobs report predicts

december and the unemployment rate remains at four point one percent for the third straight month we'll dig deeper into the details then take a little trip around the world and look at unemployment around the planet and what's in store for energy sector in twenty eight teen there's a heck of a lot going on as well as tyson slocum for his take now let's get to the top stories in business and finance. u.s. tech stop started in twenty eighteen on a highway tech stocks outperformed health care energy and real estate with the tech sector averaging thirty four percent gains across the pond also the results are the same there despite brics it concerns investors broke all records for the u.k.'s technology sector with u.k. based firms attracting more than two billion dollars in new funding financial tech were fin tech was the u.k.'s leading investment sector like in the us for last year

firms like trans wire funding circle and non-zero lead the pack raising hundreds of millions of dollars in capital u.k. artificial intelligence companies also had a strong year with raising more than two hundred seventy million dollars in funds for the for a first that's a first for the sector. the december jobs report is just out the unemployment rate remains at four point one three times in a row three months in a row there were one hundred forty eight thousand jobs created which is still very positive but it is fifty thousand jobs be low what the experts had anticipated in the consensus and two hundred and it's less than the two hundred thirty nine thousand jobs created in november let's get into the ditch with dr mark thornton a senior fellow at the meat isn't to dr thornton thanks again for joining us it seems like a pretty good report but not a tony the tiger great report what's your take on some of the highlights in terms

of specific sector specifics well i was thinking that was going to be a tony the tiger type report of two hundred thousand or more new jobs added in as you said that the consensus amongst economist was for one hundred ninety thousand and then the actual number turns out to be one hundred forty eight thousand there were some great sectors results construction was up thirty thousand jobs of course we see that everywhere you go with new construction manufacturing up twenty five thousand so that's pretty decent and on the down side the retail sector surprisingly lost twenty thousand jobs in december i'm a little leery of that figure these figures are almost guesstimates that have to be revised two times and i would not be surprised if retail is revised upward in a significant way if retail goes up twenty five thousand.
