and. the u.s. is criticized by members of the u.n. security council after washington called an emergency meeting of ranty government protests in iran. recently to a journalist who's published an illustrated book on daily life in the water. talking about the fire and fury the latest one to expose the private eye for donald trump of his time in the white house becomes an instant bestseller this weekend. this is r t it's just turned three in the afternoon here now this saturday welcomed

this latest thirty minute live update with me kevin now in first in the u.s. has been criticized by some of its partners for calling them urgency a meeting of the u.n. security council over anti-government protests in iran america which fully backed the unrest requested an international response in 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 you 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 four amps and france is a country that generally agrees with the united states in un 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 be 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 which 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 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 leaders of the united states kind of open in new york while the iranian foreign ministers reacted to the outcome of the meeting in a tweet calling it quote a foreign policy blunder by the trump of ministration meantime america's top

diplomats being quizzed over washington support for the iranian protests. you've 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 but i think the mirai you people have suffered under this regime we do not support balik traditions of power but we do support a peaceful transition of power. we discussed the security council meeting with independent writers to write us a proposal rich she believes the u.s. has abused the purpose of the organization. what the united states going to do an actual security council meeting should be offensive to all members and not just u.n. security council members and all you have members there making a mockery of the united on the one hand all their lives in the process. certainly ignored every other norm apparently with. both says plays and more often than not

there is good reason. anywhere else in the world wireless company he wrote this have not been heard at like any other country iran will react i think definitely is an internal issue. meantime the u.n. is allocated none precedented at fifty million dollars to try and combat the humanitarian crisis in yemen and it's not only organizations that are trying to help the country and the taliban journalist in a small part to become part of the drive publishing an illustrated book showing scenes of daily life and traditions in yemen.

this book features many aspects of traditional yemeni society but apart from that it also touches on the civil war the saudi intervention as well as the problem ongoing of terrorism the author explained the inspiration he. there of the book the yemeni bride is sort tracked their audience and specially also young people to to yemen some of them they don't know exactly where yemenis in them up some of them they heard about yemen only by news by yemen is a country you need to know from inside and we decided to do this case also to tell good stories about cook system so people inside the country we wish her to tell something for example about the reason why terri's mental cards are spread around the country or why some horrible car that turned into her eyes is for example in yemen and you can tell this also and specially let the people

seeing with the drawings what i so as a witness the civil war broke up back in twenty fifteen versts where it's claimed over ten thousand lives the country's economy has been left in ruins over it according to u.n. estimates some twenty two million people need humanitarian assistance right now with more than eight million close to starvation the population suffering not only from serbia as drugs and severe food shortages also brags of cholera and other diseases too 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 c. h. and they are dying if they don't die for bombs of clashes that die because of color they die because among ration and die because they there are none who they will have access to go more 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 that will destroy generations they are forced to participate in the war to to fight in the front line all their hopes are the straw is because they don't see any future. and while every part of the country's economy suffering seems it's the fishermen they're among the hardest hit that. 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 can jobless for six months i sold the post 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 that tax and aggression against you and then. one. of. the jewish community you from says is facing increased levels of violence and some fear the situation could get worse now after traumas recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel to do bensky reports. same song 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. i was viciously attacked with

a machete by an individual because i'm jewish. every day we are it's hacked they enjoy it's. radical islamists 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 are just the tip of the iceberg every day of people that every day people inserted we can't be helped by worlds and we don't mind but when we are hurt by a knife. you can be. many families have decided to quit from school together jews started leaving the country in record numbers back in two thousand and fifteen following a terror attack on

a 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 of the kids. in france. and what is also a problem in europe there are almost no juvenile the old living. it's terrible with everything but they see that europe is continuing peace 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 the donald trump made blue sea 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. even ski r.t. song. return this weekend the latest explosive tell tale book about donald trump a shot to the top of the bestsellers list fire of fury claims to reveal who the president really is and what it's like to be on. 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 increase he was no more than seventy literate when he has to be in the white house they took him into bed at six thirty is not mentally fit you cannot do this job running in a dog very care center moron and he should not be president he's not going to make it he said he's lost his stuff. the book quotes the former senior advisor to the us president steve bannon who was one of many people left the white house last year it was just a few the claims in the book gets written that trump found the white house scary at first in order to dish will t.v. screens and also an additional lock on his bedroom door it goes on to say that the us leader himself was the person behind some of the leaks of personal information furthermore a field that trump enjoys eating cheeseburgers impaired spirit current takes a look at why the book is so popular. readers have been promised an inside look

into the q.c.'s scandals of the trumpet ministration and liberals all over the country have flocked to bookstores to get their hands on a copy and present trends 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 says 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 a new release crazy like it has been that 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 it

a read however the authors reliability has been questioned and several claims of 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 surrounding 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 some iraq on our team washington d.c. media and. told us why this is money from heaven for the mainstream media right now . 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 do just low hanging fruit it's perfect for that what effect is it going to have absolutely nothing the people who hate trump hate him the people who love trump love him now there's going to change the story goes on coming up present the crumbs initiative to come to a good news but somewhat we'll tell you about eighty seconds of. what

politicians do you suppose to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. would somebody want to be that's. actually going to be this is what. you believe. i'm interested always in the war.

again so the french president facing the expected backlash after his announcement to tackle the spread of fake news with a surge in satirical fake stories appearing online people angered by the proposed law of started posting under the invent your own fake news this tweet for example suggest that micron's twitter accounts been suspended there's another mocking the idea that the government can offer innovative solutions to a number of crisis one twin even goes to say that it was mccracken's old rival who was elected president last year the average president veld his plan to tackle fake news of wednesday claiming it will protect the country from outside interference as he put it on it was finished between fake news machines and the professional media we run the risk of losing the truth the barriers have been destroyed presidential campaigns in almost all modern democracies have displayed their weakness and our collective failure to come up with a response so what are the thoughts on the street people we spoke to in paris believe it's not up to micron to decide what's fake and what isn't 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 there should be that person 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 press a floor since we got more and more in this direction will forbid everything we're prevented from thinking so much that we're no longer know how to think for ourselves. the film 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 it. maybe to unexpectedly french politicians most of them have expressed support from across moves saying that fighting fake news is a way to protect democracy and a method to help promote critical thinking the french culture minister is also thrown her back in the proposed law saying that the idea is not about limiting freedom of expression but fighting propaganda we spoke to one political analyst

based in france who thinks people there who can 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 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 he 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 speak news if people are old enough to vote then there and to understand the politics of france or that or the world today then they're all then up to get the information to debunk fake news themselves and they don't need a big brother to do that for them right near same kind of story was bitcoin during that roller coaster ride seems to be on the way up again after a near forty percent slump recently it's currently around the sixteen thousand dollar mark after highs of twenty last year it's

a quick reminder of the journey. 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 chile mania in the netherlands value has surged by around sixty times in the last three years that's considerably faster than sure it bobs 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 coin is being called the digital shoes 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 that surely is being conjured out of thin out

the ever growing army of bitcoin believers say it's here to stay operational 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 new zealand included influential banks are being left behind but as history shows us boom is usually followed by bust so is bitcoin about to wilt. some people of course have struck it rich with a virtual currency there's intrapreneur as the winter verse twins ever muster a multi billion dollar fortune over it there's this teenager who's now a millionaire after investing a small sum from his grandmother couple years ago and the man who said of created the server currency we don't know what it looks like reportedly holds around seventeen billion dollars worth but of course it's not all played sell if it was would all be doing it here substories spare

a thought meantime for the man who threw away thousands a big point when his hard drive broke didn't think was worth anything then thought they were worthless back in twenty thirteen then famous. a man paid ten thousand big coin for two pizzas couple years ago expensive pizzas and this man was jailed for money laundering after he sold his big corn to a person involved in illegal drugs so not all plain sailing for more on the pros and the cons neil harvey was joined by two heavy hitters so to speak 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 quiet it took a rocket ship up and it's going to come down even faster because it's not a bubble because it actually is the pin that's the pin that's popping the legacy financial systems bubble. over a printing of money. over valuation of a stock the beauty of it the supporters say stay centralized it's everything that

banks know the vid coin 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 corn and you can use block change for anything about the fundamental consensus the logic of what she was doing when that large is the largest block sort of the only one that matters the one that does the most nowhere does it the most people the right 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 it's a really really slow data book is what 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 can i do with it you could buy anything as a matter of fact i could buy gold at this got i got a pack full dot com and i could buy gold at this guy go buy gold at sixty percent

off with the situation where now dangerous is that you know what people are getting 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. now the theory goes you meant to be fighting fit to be in the but it seems that these soldiers of michelle to hear from space fighting these days they put in a crash diet in fact the military fit the unit reputation by being a bit too portly.

one has ended up in a situation that requires a series of measures to reduce excess weight among its personnel. was the best of us christmas talking of which if you're celebrating in the next
