hate. to seriously you sent us an e-mail. if you look. at. this hour's headlines story supporters of the government hold a fourth day of. the country leaving at least twenty one people dead. however the events of the last few days in iran may

be they do not constitute a threat to international peace and security. council should not discuss the. issues the un security council on to america's request holds an emergency meeting over the situation in iran however the initiative criticized by some members who say it's an internal issue for tehran. also ahead this hour the saudi led coalition is reportedly continuing its bombing campaign in yemen despite a humanitarian i cry one person is believed dead and today. the word just a few moments at christmas is christmas for many orthodox christians around the world are not included in russia where we just saw president putin joining the service the christ the savior cathedral in moscow these are live pictures from the center of orthodox christianity we'll go live to our correspondent in. for

a feeling of how things have been going on there for the last hour. we are churning in from around the world this hour welcome to moscow onto our team international good to have your company i mean and only a fourth day pro-government marches has been 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 opera icing triggered by poor living conditions that engulfed over eighty cities.

i. look. well on friday night the united nations security council on washington's request held an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in iran russia criticized the move saying that iran should be left alone to deal with it so minturn leffers that sentiment was 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. 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 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 and we as a council should not discuss the 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 but you look. at 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. with the arena and 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 uranian government protesters. you say 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 our troops. of power but we do support peaceful transition of power. if you from washington will we discussed events in iran with political. he sees america help to foment unrest 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 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. . signed america turned around and put some new sanctions on iran which is ridiculous. an incendiary new book about donald trump rocketed 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 around him but it's been met with ridicule by trump himself went to the best colleges for college i went to i had a situation where i see a very excellent student came out and made billions and billions of dollars became one of the top business people went to television for ten years was

a tremendous success as you probably have heard ran for president one time and one and then i hear this guy that does not know me doesn't know me at all by the way did not interview me for three city interviewed me for three hours in the white house it didn't exist ok it's his imagination. well the book quotes former senior advisor to the us president steve ballmer in one of the many people to exit the revolving white house door last year and it's caused quite the war in the mainstream media 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 increased he was no more than seventy literate when he has to be in the white house they took him to bed at six thirty it's not mentally fit you can do this job running in adult day care center moron and he should not be president he's not going to make it he said he's lost is stuff

well here is just a few claims made in the book it's written that trump fund the white house daunting and that his own behavior contributed to washington's dysfunction it also claims that it was the us leader himself who is behind leaks of personal data now the alleges that trump enjoys eating those cheeseburgers in bed as we heard similar accounts being 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 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 inferi inside the trump white house has been the book of the day the question of the day i mean just has it's all we're doing it has been

a lot of fun really hectic all the phone calls people in the store and i 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 it can be given to read 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 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 legal analyst lionel told us why the book is a goldson for many media outlets. 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 trump hate him the people who love trump love him now these going to change. sunday is christmas for many

orthodox christians around the world not includes in russia crowds have been gathering for midnight services near christ the savior cathedral in moscow the center of orthodox christianity in the city beezer live pictures right now from service which began about seventy minutes ago aren't going to last a little bit longer let's go live now to our correspondent who's. been taking it all in all evening long give us a sense of what the mood is like the pictures like incredible it's a very spiritual day and in the orthodox calendar. yes well despite the cold i'd say it's a really warm and this year here on the streets outside of the cathedral with people wishing each other merry christmas because this is of course the holiest day of the year for orthodox christians and the reason behind the fact that christmas falls on january the seventh is an issue of calendar is orthodox christians follow

never the majority of orthodox christians never adopted the gregorian calendar which was made by catholics and instead stick to the julian calendar which has a difference of thirteen days which of course means that christmas then falls on january the seventh and for them this holiday really is a religious one there's a very big focus on religion people fast for forty days in the run up to christmas the end they attend church services both on christmas eve and in christmas day itself and those services run into the early hours in the morning just behind me like you mentioned the joy of christ the savior you can see at the cathedral and people crowds have been pouring in there all evening and will be attending those services into the early hours we had a chance to talk to a few people here on the streets about what the holiday means to them so let's take a listen. there's just first of all a christmas for me is a family holiday my grandmother was a very religious person so i'm here. for her to one of my family tradition to see

me in the bushes my family always meets a christmas which is a family holiday for me to bring my son with me when he went to sleep early on behalf of my family and i will pray for them because he mused. it is so while the majority of the western world is finally winding down from the holiday season orthodox christians all over the world are still in full swing and celebrating christmas day and that's the thing as well there was a free speech for for they for the more orthodox of believers today can get into their christmas dinners tomorrow as well and eat some good food live from moscow thank you very much. the roller coaster ride for bitcoin meanwhile seems to be on the way up again after a near forty percent slump recently it's currently hovering the seventeen thousand dollar mark after hitting highs of twenty 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 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 cohen is being called the digital of the twenty first century as the same pattern emerges fear of missing out in new investors piling in critics say the perceived value of the currency like the church 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 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 bit coin 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. well look at this some people have struck it rich with a virtual currency internet on their winkle vos twins have amassed a billion dollar fortune while this teenager is now a millionaire after investing a small sum it was a present from his grandmother a few years ago the man who said to have created the cyber currency reportedly holds around seventeen billion dollars worth but nobody knows who he is but it's not been plain sailing for everyone one man accidentally threw away thousands of

bitcoin when his hard drive broke in twenty thirteen also famously a hungry customer paid ten thousand bed calling for two pizzas a few years ago which works out and run one hundred sixty million dollars today ten million dollars a slice this person was jailed for money laundering after he sold his bitcoin to some of the fault in illegal drugs for more on the pros and cons we heard from some financial commentators. i am sure that it is our bubble 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 quite it took a rocket ship up and it's going to come down even faster because there'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 that 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 fido in 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 no it doesn't the most people there is the one that's most trustworthy you know the small if you're going to block save in your pocket and not have all but a sense of model algorithm work meaning you don't have any minors or you don't have any consensus that doesn't mean a thing that'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 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 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 bitcoin the situation we're in now how dangerous is it you know what people all remote getting and spending savings on but look it is very dangerous but what is it is that it means you 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 then they're going to be selling it for the same reason. we keep the news rolling in one thousand times they were to. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now

decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution. to someone monitoring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all the news there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. and one person has reportedly been killed and at least three more injured in a suspected sudden strike in yemen it took place in the early hours of saturday
