the u.s. is criticized by members of the u.n. security council after washington called an emergency meeting over antigovernment protests in iran also to come this hour italian journalist publishes a graphic novel based on the time she spent in war torn yemen highlighting the daily life of ordinary people and fire and fury the latest book to expose the private life of donald trump and this time the white house becomes an instant bestseller. fellow there you are watching r.t. international this saturday morning worse just going out eleven o'clock here in

moscow now our top story the u.s. is being criticized by some of its partners for calling an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council over anti-government protests in iran america which fully backed the armrest requested an international response reports 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 protests 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 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 he talked about how this is really an internal matter in iran. we must be wary of any attempt to exploit this crisis for personal lands which would lead to an outcome diametrically opposite to that which is desired change in iran will not come from the outside it will come from the iranian people themselves the russian representative question why this meeting was taking place 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 to 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 can provide could have messages to the arena and people that have brought them closer together in

their anti-american feelings and we get the impression that some logically unexplainable allergies are keeping the us blind to a rational evaluation of what is happening in the country they simply want to believe what they're seeing is true. 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 and pointed to the usa being involved in a fomenting these acts of violence in 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 and reporting with the iranian foreign minister reacted to the outcome of the meeting in a tweet according it quote a foreign policy blunder by the trumpet ministration money america's top diplomat

has been quizzed by washington support for the iranian protests. you said that you want to support quote. elements in the country that will lead to a peaceful transition of government that sounds like regime change or through the iranian people have suffered under this regime we do not support violent crucial of power but we do support political pros as. well we discussed the security council meeting with the independent rights that i support for rick and she believes the u.s. has appeased the purpose of the organization. what the united states is going to do an actual security council meeting should be offensive to all members not just u.n. security council members but all u.n. members they're making a mockery of the united states on the one hand all legitimate process around the world no to actually ignore it every other normal country would. vote says to take

place and more often than not there is good reason but that. as with anywhere else in the world there are wireless company in the protest process that have not been perfect at like any other country iran will react and it definitely is an internal issue. the un has described the situation in war torn yemen as an apocalypse humanitarian groups are trying to attract the world's attention to the dire conditions civilians they're living in and one italian journalist has become part of this drive trying to raise awareness through showing yemenis daily life and traditions that continue despite the horrors of war.

well the illustrated book there does feature many aspects of the traditional yemeni society but apart from that it also touches on the civil war and saudi intervention as well as the problem of terrorism the author explained her inspiration. there haim on the book the yemeni bride is sort tracked their audience and especially also young people too to yemen some of them they don't know exactly where yemenis in them up some of them they heard about yemen only buying news but yemen is a country you need to know from inside and what we decide to do with this case also to tell good stories about cook system so people inside the country we wish had to tell something for example about the reason why turkey's mental cards are spread

around the country or why some part of al qaeda turned into isis for example in yemen and you can tell there is also an specially led the people seeing with the drawings what i so as a witness well the civil war which broke back in twenty fifteen has claimed there were ten thousand lives become trees economy has been left in ruins and according to u.n. estimates some twenty two million people need humanitarian assistance with more than a million close to starvation the population is suffering not only from saudi airstrikes but also severe food shortages and breaks of cholera and of the diseases is the book's author again yemen is dying because this war is not so fast but grew in a way that people are really in a see each end they are dying if they don't die for bombs of clashes that die

because of color or they die because of malnutrition and die because they there are none who they didn't have access to good war there and also because of the bomb being from the coalition from one side and because of the clashes between militias and the docs or who the militias from the outside sadly was happening right now. is something the. well the steroid generations they are forced to participate in the war to want to fight in the front line all their hopes up the steroid because they don't see any future and while every part of the country's economy is suffering it's the fisherman that are among the hardest hit. luckily i did. we are all suffering from this crisis only god knows how hard it is

for us i used to have a boat that i used to make my living by but from the moment the crisis broke out i've been jobless for six months i sold the boat but i couldn't pay off my debts now i'm looking everywhere for my daily bread. and i've been attacked both on the island senate seat they have shot up several boats and killed the crews and the gears sank and they died because of the tax and aggression against you. know the jewish community in france says it is facing increased levels of violence and some fear the situation could get worse after trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel shouted the reports saying the song to me used to be a whole lot of the jewish community in france but it's

a hot that's no longer beating french jews fleeing the paris suburbs to escape a royce in anti semitism the i was viciously attacked with a machete by an individual because i'm jewish. every day it's hacked they enjoy it's. ridiculous stuck a knife in my chest i'm very scared for my family and myself. i'm scared of going outside and showing my face i'm forced to wear a camp every day to hide my keeper. not all of these attacks made the headlines and according to one jewish organization they're just the tip of the iceberg every day of people that every day people that. we can be worlds and we don't mind but when we heard.

you can be mine many families have decided to quit france altogether jews started leaving the country in record numbers back in two thousand and fifteen following a terror attack on a cruise ship supermarket in paris. if you are. in two thousand and fifteen almost eight thousand jews left france in two thousand and sixteen another five thousand flights and over the last decade more than forty thousand have packed their banks that's almost ten percent of the jewish population in france in few but the kids. know in france and with a problem in europe there are almost no drool that all living. so.

it's terrible that we say but that is that europe is continuing this is what. i wore last month france's prime minister acknowledged the scale of the problem in our country anti semitism is alive it is not new it is ancient it is not superficial it is well rooted and it is alive and it hides always behind new mosques attempts to justify it so through diverse reasons that statement just came a few days off to donald trump made the explosive decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel a decision triggering anti israel protests across europe and laying the ground for more semantic attacks. show it even ski r.t. sen song dinny. in other news the latest explosive tell

tale book about donald trump a shot to the top of the bestsellers list bar and fury claims to reveal who the president really is and what it's like to be honest take. your we've got a book to talk about here it is and all of gossipy details trumps rambling and his alarming repetitions had significantly increased he was no more than seventy literate when he has to be in the white house they took him into bed at six thirty as you mature as is not mentally fit you cannot do this job running an adult daycare center moron and he should not be president he's not going to make it he said he's lost is stuff. well the book does quote from the senior advisor of the former senior advisor of the us president steve bannon who was one of many people who left the white house last year and here are just a few of the claims in the book written from the white house scary door did additional t.v. screens and even the look on his bedroom door says it was the u.s.

leader himself who was behind the leaks of personal information and it revealed to the trump enjoys eating cheeseburgers in bed. now why the book is proving to be so popular. readers have been promised an inside look into the q c a scandals of the trumpet ministration and liberals all over the country have flocked to bookstores to get their hands on a copy and president trump's lawyers even tried to block the book's publication which made it even more sought after so in this small bookshop we're talking record numbers they had eighty four copies just this morning and they were sold out within six minutes and yes people came out in the freezing cold to get their copy of fire in theory inside the trump white house has been the book of the day the question of the day i mean just it's all we're doing and it has been a lot of fun really hectic all the phone calls people in the store had someone compared to almost like harry potter level like new release crazy like it has been

fun and that hectic so why is it flying off the shelves if you're looking to confirm you're already in a biased this is the book you want to read i'm not a fan of the president at all i just want to find out what's in it and sort of satisfy my curiosity you know it's. tough for us booksellers to get a copy but as soon as i can we will be giving you a lead however the authors reliability has been questioned and several claims in the book have already been dismissed as false our position is very clear that we think it is full of false and fake information but who cares if the claims in the book are true or not fire and fury will stay in the headlines as long as it protrudes trump in a negative light but with all the excitement around. the book everyone seems to have forgotten the last time this happened the infamous trumped us year that's now practically synonymous with fake news but also fair in times of war well at least in the media war against trump samia khan r t washington d.c. media and legal analysts line we're told is why he thinks the book has become

a favorite of the mainstream media nobody cares except the people in the mainstream media who can now focus on it they don't have to do any research they don't have to do any heavy lifting all they have to do is pick out the particulars portions that they like it's a rehash of the same story it's not substantive it doesn't deal with any of the problems that really affect the country or the world it's easy it's easy to digest low hanging fruit it's perfect for them what effect is it going to have absolutely nothing the people who hate dr hate him the people who love drum love him now these going to change. still ahead this hour president micron's initiative to kind of fake news seems to backfire we've got that story plus of the state just off to.

be in debt is to express your true self as an american and part of the western. culture debt is by definition your identity your credit score is who you are and what you can buy a social media as are doing in china any time you step out of line if you spit on the subway your social media index is degraded and your cost of funds goes higher and you get deeper into the casino goulet. global war zone you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle they don't. produce offspring to tell you that will be gossip and probably worthwhile for the most important day. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product.

although hall along the border with one. welcome back the french president is facing an unexpected backlash after his announcement to tackle the spread of fake news with a surge in satirical fake stories now appearing online people angered by the proposed law started posting under the hash tag invent your fake news in fact this tweet was an example in the suggested micron's twitter account has been suspended another mocked the idea that the government can offer innovative solutions to a number of crises and one tweet even said it was micron's old rival he was elected president last year when the french president unveiled his plan to tackle fake news on wednesday claiming it will protect the country from outside interference it was initially tween fake news machines and the professional media we run the risk of

losing the truth the barriers have been destroyed presidential campaigns and almost all modern democracies have displayed their weakness and our collective failure to come up with a response well that said people in paris that we spoke to believe it's not up to macron to decide what is fake and what isn't 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 there should be that and who will take care of it is there going to be a man to figure there is something said through this door here is it not to the press a floor says will go more and more in this direction we forbid everything we're prevented from thinking so much that we're no longer know how to think for ourselves for whom i'm almost always come back to george orwell's novel nineteen eighty-four with the ministry of misinformation i really feel like will ready for that and the people outside of. french politicians though have expressed their

support for my crohn's move saying that fighting fake news is a way to protect democracy and also a method to help promote critical thinking the french ministry of culture is also thrown her backing behind the proposed law saying that the idea is not about limiting freedom of expression but fighting propaganda we spoke to a political analyst who is based in france and he thinks people there can actually be bunk fake news without the government's help. this is anti constitutional don't forget that in france the declaration of the rights of man or the citizen says that freedom of speech is one of man's most precious rights unfortunately when mr martin speaks about fake news he is targeting a social network if this really was. about a law condemning fake news then peace should start and he was talking to the dryness where he should start talking to the journalist or french mainstream media we have never had so much access to information today when there is fake news if people are old enough to vote then there and to understand the politics of france

or the world today then there are all the nerve to get the information to debunk fake news themselves and they don't need a big brother to do that for them. the trumpet ministration has announced plans to open nearly all us coastal waters for oil and gas drilling the decision goes against the ban imposed by barack obama at the end of his term and also against his efforts to protect the environment the u.s. interior department says it will lease areas in the arctic the gulf of mexico and the atlantic during the five year program and it will also include pacific coast on zones where activity has been off limits for almost fifty years interior secretary ryan zinke believes the move could boost the country's revenue by fifteen billion dollars however the project has sparked waves of criticism. it's not consistent with our vibrant tourism fishing and recreation their concern is their livelihood to the local economies we all saw what happened to the gulf coast with the

deepwater horizon trance trying to turn our options into oil fields and this plan opens the floodgates to dirty and dangerous offshore drilling threatening coastal economies that rely on clean and healthy oceans. offshore drilling represents a critical throw to our coastal economy and international oil economist do sell a asylum a sorry does believe it's not certain that the investment well actually pay off. the u.s. plane to explore in offshore america is not unique after all many other countries are doing the same but it is the magnitude of the plan of shore exploration in the united states that is unique of course it will have a lot of environment tests there is also another upside to it is that we don't know where they will discover or gaz are bought and furthermore

the cost of exploitation will be huge. now the roller coaster ride for big coins seems to be on the way or for a near forty percent slump recently it is currently around the sixteen thousand dollars mark after a high of twenty last year so here's a quick reminder then of the journey so far. bitcoin has hit a financial milestone not reached in almost four centuries has taken over the title of biggest bubble in history for what was known as chilly mania in the netherlands value has surged by around sixty times in the last three years that's considerably faster than shoot bulbs in the seventeenth century which were at one point worth ten years of a skilled craftsman turning back then prices were driven by greed or a fear of missing out but as more people bought into the bulbs for quick profits

a flurry of sales collapsed the price and left many with crippling debts that corn is being called the digital of the twenty first century is the same pattern emerges that fear of missing out in new investors piling in critics say the perceived value of the currency like the church is being conjured out of thin air with the ever growing army of bitcoin believers sorry it's here to stay and operate. market in full flow around the clock and new places all over the world ready to accept the crypto currency as payment even a church in london is happy to accept donations of the virtual kind with the size of the bitcoin market already surpassing some countries economies you see and included influential banks are being left behind but as history shows us is usually followed by bust so he's bitcoin about to wilt one despite all the fear some people have actually struck it pretty rich the internet entrepreneurs here the winklevoss

brothers have amassed a billion dollar fortune and the mission man a teenager is now a millionaire after investing a small sum from his grandmother a few years ago and the man who is said to be behind the crypto currency reportedly holds around seventeen billion dollars worth of big coin although he does remain anonymous no it hasn't been plain sailing for everybody and here are some sob stories to go through a man did throw away thousands of because when his hard drive break in twenty thirteen thinking that the corner actually worthless famously a man paid ten thousand calling for two pizzas a few years ago that was a costly mistake and x. because a millionaire was jailed for money laundering c. after he koreans to a person involved in illegal drugs for more now on the pros and cons neil harvey was joined by a couple of heavy hitters in the field. i am sure that it all in fact is probably the biggest bubble i've ever seen in my career as an investor and i've seen quite

a few bubbles and i'm familiar with the psychology that surrounds them you know big point it took a rocket ship up and it's going to come down even faster because it is not a bubble bricklin actually is the pin that's the pin that's popping the legacy financial systems bubble. over a printing of money. over valuation of stocks and the beauty of it the supporters say stay centralized everything that you know the vid quite itself is not to take knology could be the reward but you don't need to have a block chain there are all these other cryptocurrency is that have block chains and they don't use big court and you can use block change for anything about the fight over them a consensus the logic will have to go with that large of the largest block sort of the only one that matters the one that does the most now it doesn't the most people there is the one that's most trustworthy you know the small if you're going to block trade in your pocket and not have all but a sense of model algorithm work meaning you don't have any minors and you don't

have any consensus that doesn't mean a thing that's a really really slow data and that's what it is but what is it what is the value what is the inherent value of a bit coy what it what can you do with a bit quiet to make it worth seventeen thousand dollars if i have one big point what can i use it for what could i do with it you could buy anything as a matter of fact i could buy gold out of this guy and i got a patch full dot com and i could buy gold at this guy go buy gold at sixty percent off with bitcoin the situation we're in now dangerous is that you know what people . and spending savings on but look it is very dangerous that it is terry you think they're going to get rich quick because right now the only reason that people are buying big quote is because the prices going up and what it turns around that they're going to be selling it for the same reason and it definitely defies opinion to say that high things are looking at this morning. i'm back with more in just a. hello

my name's peter and i've been living in motion now for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got in the time. when you're going to get. along you've got to just punish the one doing the problem because if i had such. a stunt is not the same if i was. i passed. through the cracks because.

a boom bust i'm parked children 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. us tech stop started and 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.
