pro and anti-government rallies with at least twenty one people killed without external pressure and fake images of protests online further fueling tensions. also the south the u.s. and north korean leaders engage in one upmanship over the power of their nuclear buttons meanwhile new hopes for a possible deescalation of the crisis agreed to talks with the south for the first time in several years. thousands of modern sleeping rough on the streets of paris after president promised to find a solution before the end of the seventeen we're going to hear some of their stories you look at this many people who would be the story is this the life you fool she would have. suspected

strikes in yemen have claimed more than twenty four lives just this week. the weekly here live on our teams and national from hawkins wherever you are tonight thanks for joining us this hour. this week has seen a series of mass rallies in iran both for and against the country's government began with protests over the economic situation in the country later these turned political violence twenty one people have been killed in clashes. since. started washington's been openly supporting anti-government activists and

ignoring the mass rallies in support of iran's leadership the u.s. called for an emergency un security council meeting on the situation members of the body doubted that internal politics rest in iran is a matter of international security. in the past week what has happened on the ground throughout the nation of iran is something the world must take note of. however the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute per se 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. the 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 not that you not. 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. the fact that we get wholly turns around and says. you know we could we're seeing in inverted commas serious situation in iran this is not going to happen this is a pipe dream iran is aware and the experience is that the world faced with the whole crisis in syria which was externally instigated. learnt secondly the government to be the system of islamic revolution the islamic

establishment in iran is not something that was imposed on the people through a military coup or through a dictatorship or anything like this the people came out overwhelmingly in support of this revolution very knew what shahr was about they understood what america had done to iran. and i say sure going to has more of washington's selective approach when it comes to pro-choice outside the country when they ask for a better economy when they ask for the government to spend money on their own country as opposed to terror exploits overseas or in other countries sure we would certainly do when they say that to you i support matt i'm not going to go i'm not going to see that's why you're trying to trap me into something like that i'm not going to go there to try that is no that is not our that is not our policy but we hear what the iranian people are saying poverty corruption and economic uncertainty have the potential to trigger protests in the world over. and they can quickly

turn ugly. but the international reaction to such unrest seems to depend on the country and question this is the precise picture of a long oppressed people rising up against their dictators that's a little bit when you know i mean in any country people can protest against high prices but when have a such them astray sions happen in our country opponents of the establishment come out and support them and some western leaders are barely able to contain their enthusiasm for regime change and are rushing to throw their weight behind the demonstrators we are now seeing an organic popular uprising organized organized by brave iranian citizens on the largest scale since two thousand and nine the great a rainy and people have been repressed for many years they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights the will is being looted time for change it is essential that western powers. the. american the

west the powers. back in the arena. because it's only with. that being the iranian people. can go all the way securing their freedom of the of the previous regime but we've seen. where this apparent pro-democracy fervor can lead. to a new year. the american president says he supports the protesters but these protests are not protests against the government these kinds of demonstrations happen in any country and they are against rising prices but each time these demonstrations happen we see that the authorities opponents use them for their own purposes the majority in iran i believe want evolution not revolution or up. arrow spring style which has brought so much suffering elsewhere on the other hand

the west seems oddly quiet about the massive rallies that are being held across iran in support of the government to. the root of it is just a canard it's the problem of youth unemployment i personally haven't been able to find a job for a long time but if people have a job they don't have any problem with the government of course most of iran's economic problems are domestically generally but another reason why investment and thus new jobs has been slow in coming is that contrary to their obligations under the nuclear agreement western countries notably the united states have not taken sufficient steps to facility normal financial flows when it comes to iran the west says it's listening but clearly selectively as co-opting democracy for its own ends is a difficult habit to break and especially churkin r.t. london but as the protests began to gain more international attention

a number of fake images were circulated on social media let's take a look at some of the following tweet shows a photo of a woman attacking police officers it's captioned iran it turns out to be a screenshot from an iranian movie after being exposed the man who posts that claimed it was symbolic a video which going to thousands. views and was said to sure march in iran and was later proved to be of a protest in bahrain back in twenty eleven other fakes were perhaps less clear one post claimed to show an uprising when it was actually a photo of a pro government running. hopes for a diplomatic solution to the north korean crisis are in sight of the countries agreed to hold formal talks with its neighbor south korea ahead of the winter olympic games it didn't take long for the u.s. president to take credit for the possible the escalation but of people said a lot of people have written today without my rhetoric and without my tough stance

and such a stance i mean this is this is what has to be done if it has to be done that they wouldn't be talking about olympics that they wouldn't be talking right there i was confirmed this week and a few days north and south korea will meet for their first official talks in two years the meeting on the ninth of january will discuss the upcoming winter olympics in south korea it's also hoped it will address tensions in the region will be held in the so-called peace village in the demilitarized zone on the border between the two states now another diplomatic breakthrough this week saw the north korea reopen a telephone hotline with the south it's been closed since twenty sixteen on thursday the u.s. president accepted souls' request to perspire on joint military drill during the olympics to spite the u.s. taking credit for a potential deescalation the dean for darren law school tom brooks thinks that the white house has actually only made things worse. these moves to have dialogue between north and south korea didn't start

a year ago when trump was elected president they've been going on for some time and i think you know the white house has probably something close to nothing to do with this with these steps i think this is something by the efforts of others and not of him i think here to the white house and help this progress happen that the white house has really done a lot to endanger it and i think it's a credit to both sides in north and south korea that they've got to stick to open talks to open dialogue and and one only hopes for the sake of the people who live on the korean peninsula that some good comes out of that irrespective of what tweets come out of from donald trump despite progress being made on a diplomatic front donald trump hasn't pulled any punches when it comes to twitter exchanges with the north korean leader this week the insults reached

a new level the u.s. president bragged about the size of his nuclear button it seems for donald trump science really does matter. look at those hands are they smaller. and they referred to my hands if they're smaller something else first baseball i guarantee you there's no problem. i have the biggest crowds big idea because standing ovations best the best in the world the greatest health care plan very very successful i would build the greatest world you have ever seen linus i happened to be underrated by the way. me when you were overhead bragging about who has the bigger butt who have got the big games but you should be bragging about the size of your soul i.

think. as the first week of twenty comes to a close thousands of modern still on the streets of france waiting for parliament to shelter president vowed to clear the streets of rough sleeping lager and spy the end of last year its pledge seems to have failed. the first battle is to house everybody in a dignified manner by the end of the year i want no more women and men in the streets or in the woods last. night he sort of speaks to moderates living on the streets still hoping to start a new life in france the new year may have begun but for these my clients the problem is still the same ahead is yet another night on the streets of paris.

no question the president said he wanted to resolve the problem by the end of the year it's not resolved in the neighborhood there are another thirty camps which are settled like this and these migrants are seeking asylum there is a problem with violence between the people who are waiting in the queue at the reception center because they want to be the first who spoke today and it is not the fault of the migrants it's the fault of the system is poorly organized which has posed problems for two years is completely dysfunctional and creates a situation of confrontation and violence people have been injured at the reception office the people are angry at the situation because it continues in the same way and because there is no solution. one of those waiting to find a way off the streets is rafi he's been in france for seven months. you look everybody up doing he had already called about no food no water but. you know

your local one hundred one one i'm a little and this is my life. and this man i knew three people sleep with me the story. is this the life you thought you would have moved. across france thousands of migrants and living in similar conditions all hand to mouth summer found shelter in tents along the canals and streets of paris others in the metro stations all a just looking for a place to call home in the last two years more than forty thousand migrants have set up camp metro station. and this is a boy they come it's a reception center where migrants can register to possibly start a new life new drugs every day hundreds queue up outside the senses like bass

and bass just simply won't cope with the demands despite a pledge that no migrants would be sleeping rough by the end of two thousand and seventeen president marc bolan has failed to keep his promise and migrants across the country see no end in sight to their suffering. aussie paris. still to come israel is offering a stark choice to thousands of african migrants payment to leave jail story and more after the short break. manufacture. of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. the final merry go round

be the one person. we can all middle of the room sick. w. on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battle is going. to do suck for the tell you that every gossip and tabloid but i shall. tell you. by. the hawks that we all. watch.

the program has been the targets of another saudi led airstrikes the second so far this year according to local media one person was killed at least three more were injured the strike on the arab world's poorest country took place on saturday morning and have been busy markets in the northern province of sada it comes after another attack on january the first when over twenty people were killed in the major port city of data. i am poor i have no time to work and i suffer from the cold. i was given a place to sleep when some people to warm up on hard right on the sidewalk.

but there is no. commentary around once a year maybe but now we have no help or blankets fifteen people are sleeping or. arrears campaign in yemen is now in its third year the war has claimed ten thousand lives and displaced the more than three million saudi led airstrikes have also destroyed much of the infrastructure and its brocade of the country sports has left around twenty million in dire need of food and medical aid saudi arabia recently allowed to keep watch in yemen to be temporarily reopened so essential food and fuel could be brought in the locals there say supplies have yet to arrive the red cross is calling for the blockade to be further. yemen is a country that depends on imports ninety percent of its needs are from imports so

when you have three years of a devastating war when you have restrictions on imports and people cannot have enough to eat and to feed their families every day this is when you see the bigger picture of things when you look at twenty four million people who are deprived of the basic commodities that we all have free access to and the fact that this is handled by the restrictions on the arrival of goods humanitarian aid but most importantly actually commercial goods are more important than humanitarian aid because you cannot feed a population of twenty seven million people just by providing humanitarian aid. accept a payoff or go to prison as well as offering african migrants money to leave the country the israeli prime minister is labeled them infiltrators and said force will be used if they do not comply. provoke the jury with something here that is

completely legal and completely essential the infiltrators have a clear choice cooperate with us and leave voluntarily respectively humanely and legally or will have to use other legal tools at our disposal of the cheese to cooperate with us. and those migrants who voluntarily agreed to leave by the end of march are being promised three and a half thousand dollars and a plane ticket they have the option of returning to their home country or going to a third one the alternative is incarceration now is where your thirty's say most of the migrants come for economic reasons that's the spot the fact they claim to have fled persecution and war home now officials estimate that around sixty thousand margarets of crossed the border from egypt since two thousand and five now a third of those have already been deported or of those that remain nearly one and a half thousand are held in detention centers and one of the centers is hot which some refer to as an open prison.

the whole lot i just exist it's not a normal life to live in a lot is not easy ten people sleep in one room you have to queue to take a shower to do anything the doctor is only here from one to three there's only one doctor for about twelve hundred people and why did i leave eritrea because eritrea is a dictatorial country i couldn't live there you cannot do anything you work there like a slave for them it's all you can do you can only call it slavery and first i didn't choose to come to israel i didn't think about anything i just wanted to see where there's peace where i can take care of myself where i can protect myself i was soon as the deportation plan appeared at the un refugee agency reminding israel about its duty to protect those who need it we invited two guests to debate the

issue. and not refugees they're criminals who crossed the border illegally and they've done quite a long way they didn't want to stay in egypt for example for some reason they crossed for via so done via egypt they came to use rail they're not refuges not asylum seekers they want to benefit from our reach from a merciful society they are looking for rescue in their spirit didn't do anything possible to save their lives some of them of course behaved fine and they've made it here that the government of thieves the world pays each one of them thirty five hundred dollars puts them in the nature of the environment whatever they are from or close to there i think israel must be admired and praised by everybody by doing so how we face the problem so-called problem of some city seven thousand asylum

seekers refugees who lift part of them have children here they should stay here they have to stay you know human the regime would experience them and if israel is going to expel them by force it will be one of the most shane still ever taken note less than this. place and stead of thanking israel for the years they spent here earned money and were treated by the way by israeli medicine which is one of the best in the world instead of thanking they what they're going to protest they're going to do it and then they can't come back but by the way of stories wherever they are they're welcome everybody is welcome but you have to keep the law they broke the law provide to time it's also a good tool stick to fix and the fact is the rate of crime but among those migrants is much lower than the ever a trait of crime it is good it's not true it's absolutely no new. rose those

two data false statement i am not going to speak as though because this man is interrupted when eighty percent over there in three and in europe are recognized as refugees in israel less than one percent how can you call it but racism how can you call it but the racism. of the eyes of the world are said to be on meghan markle and prince harry him as they tie the knot later this year however earlier this week one official went a bit too far with royal wedding preparations he called on the police to remove homeless people from the streets of windsor ahead of the big day something that hasn't gone down too well with the public. prince harry and meghan markle. prince harry got it. happened and how i relate to this to have yeah line of the happened.

sadly there is an epidemic of rough sleeping in vagrancy in windsor the whole situation presents a beautiful town in a sadly unfavorable light. it's absolutely abhorrent that anybody has got these views in this day and age especially a leading councillor of the borough.

council led lines at all t. for this i'll remember you can check out more on off stories on our website to get up call mine of course on our social media as well we're back with you at the top of next hour. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. 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 it's been a struggle. this man phoned his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on a city parking space is not a solution. someone wanted touring the site otherwise it will be a free for all there are a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. survival guide book states it is going to start at. least those they're going to get back. repatriations to look at the rest of seventy years. bill if the separate guys are

worth. i. know. now that. i had a great education a good job and a family that loved me. i never had to worry about how i would eat some where i would sleep. i'm facing christmas alone out on the streets of london. well you look to be honest. i thought the glory laden. you know just not in the still give up

food for the stuff. that you don't really feel like a human being in that. and then. the guy just came over to me so me and gave me a change of this book. eleven pm in the french quarters police station. the policemen using sydney's application are starting their shift. like. this franklin has already been working all day as a city police officer. but at night he chooses to extend his work day in the unit

that uses sydney's application for. my regular shift was two twenty five to eleven o'clock pm and then i go from sort of twelve am to six in a walk long day but it's worth it in the end. that is overtime is paid for by the millionaire. before leading police officers of the task force collect their equipment. those tablets with the app. and the small electric cars. once the app is turned on they head to the french quarter. sidney torres is having dinner there with his son. but he's always connected to his phone.
