i. mean. supporters of the iranian government hold a fourth day of rallies to denounce the uprising that swept across the country left at least twenty one dead. however the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute per se threat to international peace and security the security council should not discuss the issues of any country or its human rights issue as the u.n. security council hold saddam urgency meeting over the situation in iran at america's request but it's an initiative that's being criticized by some members saying it's iran's internal issue. nations also allocate fifty

million dollars to yemen in an effort to alleviate the humanitarian disaster unfolding in that country we discussed the crisis with an author who's trying to do her bit to rise awareness of the dire situation. and members of the jewish community in france tell us they fear for their safety in france right now they may be planning to leave because of widespread anti semitism. names kevin i just turned seven pm here now in our top story then. a fourth day of mass pro-government marches is 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 that was triggered by poor living conditions that engulfed over

eighty cities. that was. 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 of furze that was a go to by a number of other members of the security council as column 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 u.n. security council proceedings however he talked about how this is really an internal matter in iran. however worrying the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute per se a threat to international peace and security change in iran will not come from outside it will come from the iranian people themselves it was know when you see this initiative is not

a good one we all. missing 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. under which the security council should not discuss the incident 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 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 thank washington in this case since america's energetic can provide could have messages to the arena and people who have brought them closer together in 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 the iranian foreign minister has given his thoughts on the meeting he called it a foreign policy blunder by the troubled ministration meantime america's top diplomats being quizzed over washington support for the iranian and to government protesters. 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 and people have suffered under this regime we do not support transitions of power but we do support peaceful transition of power as we discussed events in iran with political on the chavez snarly he says america helped to foment the unrest in the first place. he is that many of the people who've been arrested off from. inspired groups and you've got these type of people who came in from the outside from places like. afghanistan very was supported by the swathe of sort of tweets that were coming out of washington now this is america israel saudi arabia interfering at least from a distance within iran's internal affairs yes iran has got economic problems absolutely but a lot of those economic problems we mustn't forget because the commitments that america had with the chain c.p.o. way have been flagrantly abused the day j c p o j c p oh it was signed america

turned around and put some new sanctions on iran which is ridiculous. in other news this saturday the united nations is allocated unprecedented fifty million dollars to yemen to try to alleviate the huge humanitarian crisis there the organization says it's deeply concerned by the desperate situation in the country you have in civil war broke out in twenty fifteen it's claimed over ten thousand lives thus far and left the economy there in ruins at least according to u.n. estimates some twenty two million people now in need humanitarian assistance with more than eight million close to starvation so the blockade of the country in combination with its airstrikes has crippled yemen's infrastructure. for devastating outbreaks of cholera and other diseases it's not just humanitarian organizations though trying to intervene to make a difference to lives there in yemen and raise awareness of the plight of its people people doing small things too like an italian journalist we're going to tell you about has become part of the drive co-author of an illustrated book about the

country. book touches upon many aspects of life in traditional yemeni society those look at the civil war the effects of saudi arabia's intervention the conflict the ongoing big problem of terrorism the genocide co-author along to motivations for helping to produce it there haim 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 yemen who is in them up some of them they heard about the

yemen all the by news but yemen is a country you need to know from inside and what we decided to do with this book 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 car that spread around the country or why some part of a car that aren't into high seas for example in yemen and you can tell there is also an specially led the people seeing where the drawings what i so as a witness the living conditions in a beleaguered country. of economy suffering we had for a number of fishermen about how their livelihoods in particular been affected by the war.

honestly i think. 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 that tax and aggression against you and then. so next everyone's reading it it's a huge smile that essentially a new book about donald trump firing firies rocketed to the top of the bestsellers list this week and it claims to reveal who the president really is and what it's

like to be on his team. we've got a book to talk about here it is and all of the gossipy details drops rambling and as alarming repetitions had significantly increased he was no more than rhetoric when he has to be in the white house they took him into bed it's six thirty you see in a chair it's not mentally fit you can do this job running at a dog very curious and a moron and he should not be president he's not going to make it he said he's lost is stuff. troubles critics of his response saying contrary to what the book claims he is mentally strong and not just clever but quote a genius the book quotes former senior adviser of the us president steve bannon one of the many people to leave the big revolving door last year of course it was just a few claims in the book it's written the trump from the white house daunting at first goes on to say his own behavior contributed to washington's dysfunction furthermore it says the u.s. leader himself was behind some of these leaks of personal data and it revealed that

trump also enjoys eating cheeseburgers in bed there's a mental picture so america can speak taking a look at why the book is proving 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 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 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 t. washington d.c. we do legal on this line and told us why this is a godsend for the talking heads of the mainstream media no. 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 that what effect is it going to have absolutely nothing the people who hate trump hate them the people who love drama love him that there's going to change. members of the jewish community friends say they don't feel safe in france anymore and the regularly facing anti semitic abuse concerns are growing too the situation could worsen in the wake of donald trump's recognition of israel as the capital of of jerusalem others a couple of israel charlotte do bensky reports same song to me used to be

a whole lot of the jewish community in france but it's a hot it's no longer beating french jews fleeing the paris suburbs to escape a royce in anti semitism the same as my was viciously attacked with a machete by an individual because i'm jewish. every day it's hacked they enjoy it. radical islamists are can argue my choice i'm very scared for my family and myself. i'm scared of going outside and showing my face i am 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 just the tip of the iceberg everybody is what you are people that every day there are people that are inserted we can be heard by the worlds. and we don't mind but when we heard.

you can be. 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 of 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 he says that europe is continuing peace what. i woke up last month from his prime minister i cannot reach the scale of the problem in our country anti semitism is a lawyer 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 don't trust me exclusive 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 send soltanieh. have appeared after the bright kids the eve of orthodox christmas but still no peace in bethlehem we'll tell you why. what the politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be preached. to the right to be press it's like before you know more people are. interested always in the water. there should. here's what people have been saying about redacted and. the show i go out of my way

to. really pack them. all over a party americans do the same. apparently better than. i see heard of. jack tonight president of the world bank. sent us an email. into twenty eighteen some stories not change the course like bit coy and now the roller coaster ride for it seems to be on the way up again after that near forty percent recently currently it's around the sixteen thousand dollars those big highs a twenty last year is a quick reminder of his journey so 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 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 debts is being called the digital of the twenty first century as the same pattern emerges the 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 the ever growing army of bitcoin believers say it's here to stay operational market in full flow around the clock

a 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 included influential banks are being left behind but as history shows us is usually followed by bust so it's bitcoin about to wilt. that's the thing you just don't know there are always winners and losers no some people of course are struck it rich with a virtual currency these guys the internet entrepreneurs the twins there must a billion dollar fortune and there was this guy is teenager vesa just a little bit of his grandmother's money a few years ago no he's a millionaire and then the man we don't know is. a face that he created the cyber currency reportedly holds around seventeen billion dollars worth there's some of the success stories but not plain sailing for everyone of course none of these things are there are sob stories take for instance if you haven't about those or

some of them worse the man that threw away thousands of bitcoin when his hard drive broke back in twenty thirty course in twenty thirteen one such big news but he's kicking himself now famously to the man who paid ten thousand bitcoin for two pizzas just a few years ago in the gesture and then this man who was jailed for money laundering after he gave some money to a person that turned out to be involved in illegal drugs you got to be careful even when bitcoins concerned are not hard cash for more the pros and cons neil harvey was joined by two heavy hitters in the big cornfield. 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 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

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 big 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 what about the fight in a consensus the logical option is the only way that large is 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 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 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. this christmas said saturday rather much chris. for many orthodox christians around the world is coming up in a couple of hours here in moscow but in palestine celebrations already have been marred by scuffles which have broken out in bethlehem but tests is they're trying to block the convoy this time with a local patriarca of greek orthodox and there's a story behind it he faced a recent backlash from palestinians for allegedly selling property in jerusalem to the jewish community i.
