that country and that many are planning to leave because of widespread anti semitism. for the afternoon here now saturday thanks for tuning to us my name is kevin i would first in this news update we start with news of a fourth day of mass government pro-government marches being held in iran tens of thousands of people have been rallying to show their support for the country's leaders it comes in response to a seven day uprising there triggered by poor living conditions that engulfed over eighty cities. ah. ah ah ah ah.

ah ah ah. on friday night the united nations security council at washington's request held an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in iran and russia criticized the move saying that iran should be left alone to deal with its internal affairs that was echoed to by a number of other members of the security council as callum open explains. 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 france 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 and with no wouldn't this initiative is not a good one we are witnessing an attempt by some delegations to bring to the attention of the security council issues that do not fully correspond with the mission of this body. the security council should not discuss the incident on

issues of any country or its human rights issues 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. why did the u.s. call for an emergency meeting if the political situation in iran has stabilized we should thank washington in this case since america's energetic can provide could have messages to the arena and people have brought them closer together and their anti-american feelings we get the impression that some logically unexplainable allergies 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 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 their reign in foreign minister has given his thoughts on the meeting he called it a foreign policy blunder by the trump of ministration meantime america's top diplomats being quizzed over washington support for the iranian antigovernment 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 iranian people have suffered under this regime we do not support balik troops actions of power but we do support peaceful cruise issue. we discuss the session

with writer soraya supporter rich she believes the u.s. is trying to use the organization to advance its own agenda here. what the united states is going to u.n. national security council meeting should be fair to all members not just u.n. security council members and all u.n. members they're making a mockery of the united states and the wind all their lives in the process. certainly ignored every other norm apparently with. both says plays and mark and in august there is good reason. anywhere else in the world wireless company any folks that have not been perfect at like any other country iran will react i think definitely is an internal issue. elsewhere the day of the un's allocated one president to fifty million dollars to try and combat the humanitarian crisis in yemen but it's not only organizations that are trying to help the country no no do in a small part the tally of journalists become part of the drive publishing

illustrated book showing scenes of daily life and traditions in yemen. the book features many aspects of traditional yemeni society but apart from that it also touches a course on the civil war in the saudi intervention as well as the ongoing problem of terrorism the author explained her inspiration here. there of 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 by news but yemen is a country you need to know from inside and what we decided to do with this case also to tell good stories about cook's sister and so people inside the country we wish her to tell something for example about the reason why turkey's manal qaeda spread around the country or why some part of al qaeda target into high seas 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 who would prove her back in twenty fifteen so far has claimed over ten thousand lawyers the country's economy is beloved in ruins according to u.n. estimates now some twenty two million people need humanitarian assistance with more than a million close to starvation the population so for not only from saudi astroids

and severe food shortages but also a brig's of cholera and other 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 c. h. and they are dying if they don't die for bombs of clashes that die because of color or they die because among ration and die because of their non-food 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 that will destroy generations they are forced to participate in the war to to fight in the front line all their hopes of the steroid because they don't see any future. while

every part of the country's economy is suffering it's the fishermen that are among the hardest hit the. elderly 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 it 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 they died because of their attacks and aggression against you and then. one.

to the top of the bestsellers list this weekend fire and fury claims to reveal who the president really is and what it's like to be at least the buyer and 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 a seat in a chair there is not mentally fit you cannot do this job running at adult daycare center moron and if he should not be president he's not going to make it he said he's lost is stuff. so this book quotes the former senior advisor to the us president steve bannon who was one of many people who left the white house last year here just a few of the claims in this book it's written that the white house scary in order to dish will t.v. screens on the look on his bedroom door goes on to say it was the us leader himself who was behind leaks of personal information it was revealed that trump enjoys eating cheeseburgers in bed and as a thought takes

a look at why the book is 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 trunk white house has been the book of the day the question of the day i mean just says it's all or do in 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 bias 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

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 them 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 from us a story that's going to roll into the new year total which the roller coaster ride for because of the way up now we can report after the near forty percent slump recently it's currently around the sixteen thousand dollar mark now after has a twenty last year is a quick reminder of the journey thus far. bitcoin

has hit a financial milestone not reached in almost four centuries it's 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 shoot bulbs in the seventeenth century which were at one point worth ten years of a skilled craftsman. 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 left many with crippling debt. is being called the digital of the twenty first century as the same pattern emerges that fear of missing out in new investors piling in critics say the perceived value of the currency like the chip is being counted out of thin air 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 the included influential banks are being left behind but as history shows us is usually followed by bust so is bitcoin about to wilt. all right well listen people of course have struck it rich with a virtual currency you can't deny that those on the internet entrepreneurs the twins there must a multi billion dollar fortune this guy to this teenager a millionaire after investing a small sum from his grandmother a few years ago the course is the mysterious partly invented it all created this cyber currency reportedly holds around seventeen billion dollars worth but it's not all what goes up as to go down some people are winners of course there are substories was not a party through thousands of bit coin away when his hard drive broke at the time he thought it was worthless but if you look but you can blame and maybe then famously

there was a man who paid ten thousand big coin for two pizzas a couple of years ago then there was the man jailed for money laundering of three sold his big coin to a person involved in illegal drugs for more the pros and cons neil harvey was joined by two of what they call the heavy it is in the field i am sure it is our level 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 bricklin actually is the pin it's the pin that's part of 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 aren't 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
