members of the jewish community in france tell us they fear for their safety in the country many are planning to leave because of widespread protests. it's just after eight in the evening here this summer january the sixth welcome. my names you know neal a fourth day pro-government march 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 our pricing triggered by poor living conditions that engulfed over eighty cities.

that was. well last night friday night the united nations security council at washington's request held an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in iran russia criticize them saying that tehran should be left alone to deal with its own internal affairs that was also echoed by a number of other members of the security council to. in the past week what has happened on the ground throughout the nation of iran is something the world must take note of. could blow over laurie in the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute per se a threat to international peace and security every un member state is sovereign but member states cannot use sovereignty as

a shield when they categorically deny their people human rights and fundamental freedoms under which you security council should not discuss the internal issues of any country or its human rights issues if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer 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 united states stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves change in iran will not come from outside it will come from the iranian people themselves nothing will stop americans from standing in solidarity with them no they do not know someone who is able to sweep let iran deal with its own internal problems since this is precisely what is taking place when you are wasting the energy of the security council. lee rainie

a foreign minister shared his views on the meeting he called it a foreign policy blunder by the trumpet ministration meanwhile america's top diplomat has been quizzed over washington support for the 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 iranian people have suffered under this regime we do not support traditions of power but we do support peaceful transition of power as we discussed events in iran with political analyst. he sees america help to ferment the young risk there. the reality 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 kurdistan from afghanistan very was supported by the swathes of sort of tweets that

were coming out of washington now this is america israel saudi arabia interfering at least from a distance within iraq'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 has. been flagrantly abused the day j.c. . was signed america turned around and put some new sanctions on iran which is ridiculous. one person has reportedly been killed and at least three more injured in a suspected strike in yemen it's believed to be in retaliation for the firing of a missile into saudi arabia on friday that war in yemen broke out in twenty fifteen and has claimed the lives of more than ten thousand people are for their twenty two million are said to be in need of urgent humanitarian assistance the strike was the

second to hit amman so far this year. on new year's day more than twenty people were killed in the key port city of data. well the united nations has allocated priestley dented fifty million dollars in aid to yemen to try and alleviate the humanitarian crisis there and it's not just humanitarian organizations trying to intervene to save lives in yemen and raise

awareness of the plight of its people on the top journalist has become part of the drive or throwing an illustrated book by the country. but the book touches upon many aspects of my life in traditional yemeni society and also looks at the civil war there so he reviews intervention in the conflict the problem of terrorism nora sylvia togliatti who coauthored the work to us her motivations for writing. 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 yemenis in them up some of them they heard about yemen olie by news but yemen is a country you need to know from inside and where we decide to do dispute 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 middle cards are spread around the country or why some part of al qaeda tarn into high seas for example in yemen and you can told is also an specially led the people seeing with the drawings what i so as a witness well with living conditions in the beleaguered country worsening and all areas of the economy suffering we heard from a number of fishermen about how their livelihoods have been affected by 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 it but from the moment the crisis broke out i've been 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. is the devastation 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.

now the incendiary new book about donald trump fire unfair re rocketed to the top of the bestsellers list this weekend it claims to reveal who the president really is and what it's like to be on his way. buyer and fewer we've got a book to talk about here it is and all of gossipy details trump's 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 in the chair of the it's not mentally fit you cannot do this job running adult day care center moron. he should not be president he's not going to make it he said he's lost is stuff. well donald trump has given his response saying country to want they who claims he's mentally strong and not just clever but genius the book quotes former senior advisor to the us president steve balmer one of the many people to exit the revolving white house door last you're well here in just a few claims in the book it's written

a trim on the white daunting that his own behavior contributed to washington dysfunction there are claims in it to you that it was the us leader himself who is behind the leaks of personal data and it revealed that trump also enjoys eating as you may have heard there cheeseburgers in bed so he recounts being taking a look at why the book is proving just 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 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 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 for trees 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 samia khan r t washington d.c. . yeah certainly proving popular with media legal analyst lionel told us why this is a goldson for the talking heads 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 that what effect is it going to have absolutely nothing the people who hate trump hate them the people who love drum love him now there's going to change. to europe now where members of the jewish community in

france say they don't feel safe in their country now not they regularly face on the cement it could be used concerns are also growing up the situation could worsen in the wake of donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel reporting and not charlotte do. the same song to me used to be a whole lot of the jewish community in france but it's a heart 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 and every day we are attacked they enjoy it. 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 every day 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 that. you can be heard 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 bags 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 all living. so. it's story with everything but they say that europe is continuing peace what. i woke up last month france's prime minister i cannot reach 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 itself through diverse reasons that statement just came a few days off to don't trump made the 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 r.t. sen song to me. this saturday marks christmas eve for many orthodox christians but the mood has been far from festive in bethlehem the story and plenty more right after this.

but politicians do you suppose you think. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so. you want to be president and she. wanted us. to go right for us this is what the full story of the more people are. interested in the waters of. the roller coaster ride for

a bit coin seems to be on the way all again after near forty percent slump recently it is currently just below the seventeen thousand dollars mark after hitting highs i can't even reach a twenty thousand k. last year here's a quick reminder of the 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 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 and left many with crippling debts cohen 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 that surely is being counted out of the ever growing army of bitcoin believe is sorry it's here to stay and 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 set passing some countries economies new zealand included in for winchell banks are being left behind but as history shows us is usually followed by bust so is bitcoin about to wilt. well some people have struck it rich with a virtual currency internet entrepreneur is the winkle boss twins of a mosque a billion dollar fortune while this teenager is now

a millionaire after investing a small sum from his grandmother to a few years ago the man who said to have started it all creating the cyber currency reportedly holds a run seven billion dollars worth that's quite a figure isn't it but it's not been plain sailing for everybody there have been a few on fortunate stories one man that they threw away thousands of bitcoin when his hard drive broke back in twenty thirteen another man famously paid ten thousand bitcoin for two pizzas a few years ago which is one hundred and sixty million dollars today or ten million a slice and this person was jailed for money laundering after he sold his bitcoin the someone involved in illegal drugs for more on the pros and the cons neil harvey was joined by two experts in the field. i am sure that is their 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 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 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 what about the fido in a consensus the logical option is the only one 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 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 big client 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 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 now dangerous is that you know what people are getting and spending savings on but look it is very dangerous for people what is it is that he terry you think they're going to get rich quick because right now the only reason that people are buying big quite is because the prices going up and what it turns around that they're going to be selling it for the same reason. this saturday marks christmas eve. for many orthodox christians around the world but in palestine celebrations have been marred by scuffles which have broken out in bethlehem protesters they're trying to block the convoy of the local patriarch of

greek orthodoxy he's faced a recent backlash from palestinians for allegedly selling property in jerusalem to the jewish community. i. the seventh of january is christmas day in the julian calendar these are celebrations in turkey where you can see a priest blessing and throwing a cross into the water swimmers there braving the cold waters in a centuries old tradition to mark the day. when we will bring you special coverage of the celebrations in russia later tonight. ok in theory you're meant to be what's the term fighting fit in the army but these soldiers from spain are well

fighting they have been put on a crash diet after the military feared they would damage the units reputation for being a bit too portly. one has ended up in a situation that requires a series of men. to reduce excess weight among its personnel.

controlled by them and they impose the opening times so if. it was abducted from his office the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like pecans oh and modigliani i can't boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet step but also discreet because they concern fraud of some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport says physician you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. backstabbers financial survival guide. housing bubble.

oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's because reports. apply to many clubs over the years so i know the game inside. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager billionaire owners and spending shouldn't twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance with. the base this morning. it was.

way. through a very good and welcome to twenty eighteen we did it we did it. so we would make it but we got to the final new year's this is exciting so exciting you guys got depressed and. it's kind of a rough show is that if that guy had done we're in trouble. but here we are here we are we got it we made it it was kind of a rough year not a lot to celebrate you know with our slimy con artist president with his head so far up and he says he's going to fracking a levels really he's so deep well i mean you get deep enough you can find new forms of fuel in there so i think he he's so far up a zone he's causing minor earthquakes in

a nearby town. but i want to make this segment about the good news from last year i actually did see a lot of hope and promise and success in the past year i mean. not enough to beat the misery and despair but still it was tough then there was something to start with the obvious good news the obvious was chelsea manning was released in one who said hey thank you you continue to be boys for in quality and justice also the first set of jays twenty defendants were found not. the rules for the more marijuana is now legal in california which is why. which is one of the larger economies in the world and no that doesn't mean the fight to keep it out of corporate hands is over and no it doesn't mean everybody already a raft for having a joint is released instantly but this is.
