6:02 am
have you got that one so the government of iran wants you to stick to the commitments and obligations it has a c. you gotta. call your team that's all of that size. because negotiations. will go to what they promise the united states has withdrawn from the new play to you willing to stand a lot of commitments are threatened now after the u.s. withdrawal i want american partners also abandoned their commitments after the u.s. withdrew from the deal. european kmita mansour not. the mutinous that you were as seemed after the guess was true. they were there at the. beginning from the very beginning when the plan of action was signed you know so you know it's

6:04 am
who violate comment about the plan of action so 1st of all we need to define what kind of violations americans. are making you wrong and drosh think about what would have been partners on this track with think it's an important international agreements so that the can not be destroyed the question from russia today most of which was directed. to me in the story mr you know mr monti prime minister lee when he said that morten is only the creation of freed zone over libya will help stop tons. of good money in the countries or what to think about this proposal to think that the conditions for a cease fire in the country should go
6:05 am
a long chain of effect if political process thank you. the additional. cost of food we would use i think the situations of her stewart is a. main condition for the start of a political dialogue because the move was in the land we believe that it should take place without any preconditions. to do so. it is in the interest of the libyan people it is. there still it is this you know. he announced the. deal look cease fire without any deadlines and start a dialogue which would seek to be able to formulate agreements which would be abided by by all sides but it looks really many agreements has being suggested by other stakeholders to say words we. look and see you on the verbal e.
6:06 am
or fronts signed in italy in france there was a meeting in the united arab emirates now influence literally many are saying that there will be a conference in berlin with those words. all that support and that's what the u.s. is not going to help to solve the problem unless the sides agree. every detail how to ensure that interest of all political tribal athletics you. who posses interests are mad at all those in the area it is only people who can agree outer or become the impasse. which has been created because of the it's aggression on the part of nato
6:07 am
native attacked saying that they were supporting the arab spring as well the idea to announce a. no fly zone this is a bad association because nato. started bombing libya was of course when the security council the united nations made that very decision to declare the air above levy no fly zone. and the only mandate. one little shools authorized by the security council was to. the give the stakeholders the right to ensure that no fly zone would move those regimes you our . colleagues they again discredited themselves as partners who can abide by agreements they use that resolution soon oshima should be violated it and started bombing them with use those with the territory of libya and you know what happens the rest is history so any proposals made should visit another no
6:08 am
fly zone as with most. of. the. very much remain isn't 2 of the previous case and we do not think that we can they get the trust of the slings our partners because now we know that they are it's not going to deliver on their obligations in the full so i seed best to avoid making the same mistakes and instead of the which you know there's no make what we can. squeeze through to the polling because it's produces a serene fluence on the solution parties in libya so that there would have to go announces cease fire and start negotiating. in sternest seriously so that these obligations will be abided by the human rule so
6:09 am
that the use of the role of the security council here is paramount on these body can. semantic grievance like that. gets discouraged. when not to question but unfortunately. so that's the end of a press conference thank you so much. we have just been hearing there from the foreign minister zarif circular for off his russian counterpart the european foreign minister on a visit to moscow they have been briefing the media there after holding talks a whole range of issues being spoken about starting off with trade. relations out a historic high point syria as well being spoken about the iran nuclear deal just finishing off there with libya will be going through the main part of the day

6:11 am
the bombing raids were retaliate for friday's rocket strike on the kirk base in iraq which killed one american contractor no group has yet claimed responsibility for that. but the pentagon has blamed hezbollah an armed group after the u.s. invasion of iraq repeatedly targeted american forces it is also one of the main shia forces fighting against islamic state in both iraq and syria. according to the iraqi news agency the country's president condemned the u.s. strikes calling them harmful to iraq and the nation's prime minister described the operation as a violation of iraqi sovereignty and the dangerous escalation for the region now those airstrikes come as china raanan russia held their 1st joint drills they include terrorism and piracy training and are being held in the northern part of the indian ocean in the gulf of oman the region includes key shipping and energy

supply routes some has been a source of tensions between around the us this past year for the side most stuff across chesham believes russia and china's presence helps to reduce tensions in the region. the u.s. has been escalating the tensions it's been increasing its military buildup in this part of the world the presence of the russians as well as the chinese is doing very much d.s. . grohl as they are playing a balancing act against the u.s. and its so-called 'd coalition of the sentinel this would. all preempt the united states threat to the islamic republic of iran and to the free full of shipping in the persian gulf. has been a turbulent year for around the region really as a whole mark by tough sanctions on the seizure of tigers looking back here.
6:13 am
for terror on the year 2019 was thrilling to say the least it narrowly avoided an open military conflict with the united states got hammered by new stifling sanctions to port in a so-called oil tanker crisis and had to deal with the worst domestic protest in 40 years let's go through it one step at a time. following its withdrawal from the iranian nuclear deal the us continued its sanctions against the islamic republic the country's uncompromising stance swiftly led to an american military buildup in the region the united states is deploying the u.s.s. abraham lincoln carrier strike group and bomber task force to the u.s. central command region sent a clear and unmistakable message to the arabian regime that any attack on united states interests on those of our allies will be minutes with unrelenting force in may and june of 2019 some oil tankers were damaged and some caught fire in the gulf
6:14 am
of oman washington immediately blamed terror on in may the rebels in yemen carried out multiple drone strikes on a saudi oil pipeline the u.s. again stated that it believes iran was behind the attack and continued deploying a different troops over the next 2 months the pentagon said the buildup was in response to heightened iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations these assets would join the u.s.s. abraham lincoln carrier strike group and a u.s. air force bomb a task force in the middle east region in response to indications of heightened iranian readiness to conduct offensive operations against u.s. forces and our interests president trump even said that should there be a conflict it will be the official and of iran washington saber rattling seemingly ended when trump approved the sale of $8000000000.00 worth of weapons to saudi arabia but tensions reached a new high when a u.s. surveillance drone was shot down by the iranian military trump had ordered out is
6:15 am
every military. strike on iran but withdrew his decision minutes before the operation began so avoid the loss of life. pressure on terror on continued in early july when british royal marines seize its super tanker off the coast of gibraltar iran responded by capturing british flag tanker that stand in peril as it passed through the strait of hormuz following usual accusations of piracy threats by iran to close the strait of hormuz and the ensuing panic in the oil markets all ended well as both tankers were eventually released. despite iran's resilience to the u.s. sanctions their effect is taking its toll the last months of 2019 or more by protests across the country when gasoline prices skyrocketed due to the government's decision to cut fuel subsidies so the plan was to direct the additional funds to supporting over $60000000.00 people in need crowds it still
6:16 am
took to the streets it was initially a peaceful rally but it quickly turned violent in some places and resulted in several deaths including law enforcement officers now that story it's easy even put the country on its old school internet shut down to prevent the protests from spreading now let's guess who was the 1st to capitalize on iran's civil unrest people enjoy a better future when their government begins to respect basic human rights abandons its revolutionary. posture and its destabilizing foreign policy in the region and behave simply like a normal nation he's a radiant counter porridge of odds are he dismissed that kind of support saying that it was the u.s. sanctions that caused so much suffering to his people. a regime that bans food and medicine for ordinary people including elderly and sick iranians by economic terrorism can never show its disgraceful support for the iranian people despise and the other year under serious pressure life here in tehran continues the internet is
6:17 am
back online with all major social networks available and i checked that myself but hardly anyone in iran has any ads out with an adversary like washington they're in for still more thrilling moments in the coming year. artsy tehran. still ahead we continue our review off the past year look at some of the key events including the unrest in america about is after this short. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to.
6:18 am
6:19 am
hello again with 2020 just around the corner let's continue our look back at some of the key events of the past year. ok today's topics are. streets all of rage and they mysteriously titled my game so let's see what stories 1st 1st of all let's have a look at streets of rage violent protests were prevalent the world over from the yellow vests in part us to the anti beijing riots in hong kong and of course in latin america so let us focus on. the continent has well it's had more than its fair share of turmoil in 2019 protests have rage from venice way to chile and
6:20 am
ecuador parties down a quarter breaks it all down for us. it started as a spark the next thing you know the inferno of revolution is all around you and can't be extinguished that is the south america of 2019. what's crucial if that's your aim is to find just the right moment to stir up the scent. venezuela's chaos was the epicenter right after the country reelected president nicolas maduro washington pounced challenging
6:21 am
the government's legitimacy and trying to provoke a coup. i'm mike pence nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power and it gracefully in doubt the legitimacy to run venezuela upon the leader of the opposition to me i swear to formally assume the duties of the national executive as president of venezuela president trump officially recognize the president of the venezuelan national assembly one going to do is the interim president of venezuela the time is now to support the venezuelan people to recognize the new democratic government led by interim president gore though the safety and security of president and his family are of great importance to the american people why don't try too hard to win over the military but when it became clear it stood behind a majority washington rolled out some empty threats are you hearing very well that is what i consider getting thing but all 'd options are on the table all of these
6:22 am
are all options are on the table all options are on the table was. not to test the resolve of the united states and steamrolled the country with sanctions adding to the suffering of ordinary people already living through economic collapse but is it really democracy that washington and its allies were interested in or perhaps this has something more to do with black gold not that what is donald trump's cases against venezuela the cases bellow is the only live in his way now the riches of venezuela it's gold gas diamonds iron water a material riches resource grabbing hasn't only been confined to venezuela in the region. bolivia seen its own share of unrest this year but there are right wing coup was successful the elected president abel morales forced to step down and flee the country does he why am i resigning so
6:23 am
that my opponents cannot continue to myself. brothers it's my duty as an indigenous president and the president of all believe in this to see peace after morale has got the boot senator janine anya is proclaimed herself interim president not exactly a household name before that but what's more important is who had her back and he guesses we pledge our support to the believe in people and to the transitional government led by president janine and yes as they prepare for these elections. we support you need 9 years in bolivia as she would to ensure a peaceful democratic transition through free elections and just like in venezuela it's ordinary people who are paying the price for regime change.
6:24 am
and seeing the parallels here's another one lithium is in high demand in the united states and that valuable resource also happens to be in abundance in bolivia. chile has also been no stranger to disorder where clashes have been deadly a times thousands have rallied since mid october demanding the president resign and the constitution be revised there have already been widespread reports of torture and unlawful killings following the military's deployment. but on these protests the u.s. has been silent maybe it's because the president is sebastian piñera
6:25 am
a harvard graduate who's free market policies have shown he's happy to do business with the u.s. a case not so different from this next country. at last we have ecuador a country that became engulfed in protests after the government carried out i.m.f. backed severe austerity policies. yet again silence from the us and the reason is pretty much the same as with chile the us supported the government's newfound allegiance with the i.m.f. washington might pick and choose the battles that benefit its interests the most but at the end of the day fire is fire it doesn't care who it burns and when a whole continent is set ablaze it becomes extremely difficult to extinguish.
6:26 am
on a quarter on tomorrow we'll be looking back at some of the other protests that left their mark 29. for now though let's move to today's other topic it is mind games we're delving into the issue of controlling the way people think the rule of social media in particularly facebook are between takes a look at how it's become the censor in chief when it comes to what we come from or . i'll tell you what having this job for 6 years has made me report on censorship quite a few times look at this freshman giorno trying co asking about facebook censorship at a press briefing hey young man you have no idea what awaits you in $29.00 by the end of the decade look at the evolution of online platforms has gone all the
6:27 am
way towards 0 tolerance for offenders even though it all one started down there with pretty much 0 regulation but who decides what exactly makes someone an offender all right let's dig into the 2900 stage of evolution look at these one by one and check out their censorship record. you true work hard on reading their platform of harassment see the latest update to their harassment policy came out in december go on read into it you'll find words like veiled threats and plod threats right there warning that whatever that's supposed to mean will be punished and you'll find 0 examples and no proper details. it was always in force these policies seemingly random or not at all so
6:28 am
why should i trust them to do it now i'm skeptical why are the late night hosts allowed to roast people on you tube pick on people's physical appearance but other you tube is current so usually press put out its new guidelines they don't set lines and they don't guide. the latest in a series of policy updates after the previous ones you tube didn't hesitate to take action the result record breaking numbers of accounts and videos taken down. in $29.00 taking facebook really took us all by surprise by showing what it takes to put on a new face not that it looked like they were keen to do it but someone just happened to notice that while trying to dodge a defamation lawsuit facebook prefer to itself as a publisher look at this mature c.e.o. telling congress his network is a tech company not a media one well that happened before 2019 in the new era f
6:29 am
b gave itself the green light to censor just about anything which they've been up to quite strenuously although in march when the new zealand shooter live streamed a massacre of 50 people everyone was like where the hell were the moderators or censors were anyone to stop this another thing i won't call anyone out for inconsistency but in a recent interview mr zuckerberg said no to censoring political ads even if they contain lies in what i believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying it's that they can make their own judgments and i don't think that a private company should be censoring politicians or news this tech giants however have been blamed for screwing up a bit of campaigning like when gabbert for instance challenged google for taking down her ads this alarming trend has been growing with tech giants continuing to
6:30 am
silence voices and restrict access to information this concentration of power and influence is a direct threat to our democracy by the way did you know about this side to it 29000 saw the list. facebook moderators claiming to have p.t.s.d. growing with a former employee suing the social media giant even though the company said it was offering all the required support. well no point in digging too deep if the story's repeating itself twitter has mastered the art of new era suspensions and bans to the vagueness of the rules probably isn't so much to worry about so you can get in trouble for it can be many things from supporting join a songe to pulling a prank on the fans of the cats movie but just keep in mind what kind of folks you made.
