Rebel held suburb of ghouta as fighters announced that forming a new united front. Im happy new year fiftys across the world go fireworks crazy as they ring in twenty eighteen. Month on how most with all the sports news including Manchester Citys record winning streak in the English Premier League finally ends after eighteen games. Were getting reports that protesters on the back on the streets of iran for a fourth day the Reuters News Agency says police have fired Water Cannons on demonstrators gathering in central tehran protests have also been reported in two cities in the countrys west. Irans government has one protest as a crackdown if they continued but the first Public Comments from president has on rouhani appear to be conciliatory he says protesting is the right of the people but it should not only to violent speech a shop reports. This video of protest posted on social media has been blocked by the rain and government the ban follows a nationwide demonstration since thursday government ministers said the video encourage more people to join the rallies college in result we all saw how they misuse cyberspace and promoted violence trained systematic riots toward weapons and explosives crafting simulated protesters to fight the police and encourage the burning of houses and stores these people are surely not part of our people irans state television has reported that some social media sites and messaging apps have been blocked to maintain what it termed peace and from the government warnings that irans revolutionary guards corps was prepared to deploy what was described as an iron fist if the demonstrations continued their commander said the protests have degenerated into people chanting political slogans and burning public property the u. S. President has been following events in iran closely another tweet on sunday big protests in iran he said the people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism looks like they will not take it any longer the usa is watching very closely for human rights violations. And those that are more to the extent of protest on sunday is unclear but video posted from the city of durham on saturday night showed demonstrators dragging away one of those injured state television in tehran said two people were shot dead but denied that police or the army were involved. In the clash that took two lives no bullets were shot from police and Security Forces the people gathering was meant to n. P. C. Really but the presence of the agitators unfortunately this happened and resulted in the deaths of two protesters. The protests will have rattled the government they werent just limited to tehran but took place across the country the only question now is whether they can gather momentum and how long the government is prepared to put up with this challenge to its authority peter sharp al jazeera were joined now via skype from just outside london by mafia bihari who is an iranian journalist and filmmaker thanks very much for coming on aljazeera you were in the thick of the protests back in two thousand and nine but these fail very different whats your sense of why now. Well the main difference between the protests that we see now and two thousand and nine is that in two thousand and nine the process is started that with a clear objective people voted for Mir Hossein Mousavi who was appropriate form candidate a government and that worked a pro reform candidate and then the government the Supreme Leader and the revolutionary guards rigged their elections and man would damage out was elected so people came to the streets in two thousand and nine and asked quarter recount of their bows clear message in two thousand i was where is my books this this set of protests which is started on there is they started with. Economic demand people were objecting to the governments economic policies but then spread out it is it is maybe smaller it is protest might be smaller than the ones in cuba the night while there are more widespread and the other thing is that there is no clear objective that what people want but we know what people do not want people do not want this Government People do not want the Islamic Republic in two thousand that i and we never heard the slogan death to the dictator meaning all of the economy to soup we need a robot these days we see that the protesters bring down his posters the rape part that is his for his posters and they chant death to how many and dead in the theater i must say out of course you ended up being locked up and we just tearing at that these two hundred people and catherine on saturday nights have been locked up and you know we also we dont know you went about it i said there has been there was some demonstrations are happening demonstrations in the shot i mean how much coverage of these people taking to go out on the streets when theyre facing what could be quite a brutal crackdown. It is very courageous act to go out and protest in iran but people are desperate and desperate times require Desperate Measures people are using any vailable space to protest and the government cannot block Available Space is all Available Spaces so they try to intimidate people in different cities in major cities in tehran is font average but then we see that people they come out and protests in smaller cities were never heard of protests even during the nine hundred seventy nine revolution we never had protests like this. Before the nine thousand nine hundred seventy nine revolution and the iranian president president rouhani is expected to speak in about twenty five minutes time and in a pre we courted message to the nation what could he say to calm things down and will he try and calm things down people definitely try to calm things down a little try to be considered very as were just possible but people who know what people say people know that he will say that if you understand people there cannot be problems what people have to be patient people have to work with the government and he will condemn the violence and he will call the people who have resorted to violence seditious and terrorists and foreign agents and foreign and agents of zionism etc many thanks for joining us. They have bihari speaking to us from just outside of london of course well be bringing you that prerecorded speech from the president just as soon as it happens. Rebel factions in syria have announced theyre forming a united front to stop the Assad Government savants opposition fighters are fast losing ground in syria and the government bombardment of their strongholds is relentless at least nineteen people six of them children are reported to have been killed in the latest strikes on rebel held parts of damascus assam a binge of eight reports.

Really hungry and disoriented and scared children stumbled through the mangled metal and wreckage and kids make up the highest number of the dead and injured in syria. Besides shelling in the air strikes have also continued in the countryside of western syria. These families have been forced to leave their homes because of the ongoing push by Syrian Government forces to regain control of more areas bordering hama and it promises. By god look at the kids when the planes hit near the children my god how they scream the biggest push for us was our kids they dont know anything but the sound of airplanes and shelling a life of exhaustion and terror. Rebels are trying to stop the steadily advancing syrian army and theyre forming a united front called the National Army its made up of thirty seven factions from aleppo there are homs hooter and hama but its not the first time that a Similar Group has been announced and questions remain about how scattered militias will be brought under a united chain of command and how will they be funded. The government and the National Army put servants and guards for the country and our families on all syrian land we call on you to be united and to agree on the National Project to support your sense here who have announced an open war on all the enemies calendars show a new year but the change of dates doesnt mean much for syrians whove lived through almost seven years of suffering some of a job others are. Now pfizer to the opposition like syria an interim government which announced a new alliance he says a united front could bring stability in their wage and soon. Do i think good for. First there would be professional army National Army. Officers are trained and i think the other side i think that will help achieve more be some more durable beast because so far the russians are working on one side not take into consideration the revolution side and this is one way to prove that we are with they have to also hear our demand to have better syria pratik syria no dictatorship in syria. Until now the government and government have no income but lately we had took control of the crossing to syria which is one.

Joins us now on this from west jerusalem so we spoke about a year ago mohammed you said that started the meeting but are there any close to voting on it. Well super what weve heard just in the past few minutes about five speakers have spoken so far and were told that there is at least eight or nine more making opening remarks before this voting can commence so it could be a very long night at this meeting this much anticipated and controversial meeting look what we know so far is that the Likud Central Committee is trying to essentially force Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and the rest of the likud party by holding this vote to try to compel them to bring this resolution which would an x. Either most or all of the west bank depending on which member of the knesset you speak with. A law to the knesset for them to vote on but this is very controversial for several reasons obviously right now israel is much condemned by the International Community especially in light of president Donald Trumps decision to name drew slim as the capital of israel a fact of the matter is a lot of the analysts that were speaking with believe that this is essentially political theater this is a way for the Likud Central Committee to play to their base to try to really rally the faithful at a time where there have been a lot of questions about the Prime Minister about where the party is headed at such a crucial time here in israel some people saying this is simply just cynical political calculus now one israeli pollster mitchell barracora spoke with earlier in the day told me his thoughts about most of this heres more of what he had to say. I think if the Likud Central Committee passes vote i think the biggest thing that will happen it will take a lot of newspaper space will be a lot of printing done of this because it really is not binding its not even relevant its just you know the Prime Ministers right of center party just trying to make a statement a policy statement which really is meaningless even if you read the statement its theirs they will go into depth and its just kind of getting ready the drumbeat of election is happening in israel we dont know when its kind of you know this government is not the most stable and people are wondering how long is it that you know that to be around given all thats going on with the investigations so theyre just trying to shore up their their popularity on the right arab members of the knesset of the parliament here have started reacting to this meeting some of them saying that if this resolution is passed if the Prime Minister then decides to try to take it to pass it is a law in the knesset that that would really signal into trying to find a two state solution to the to the crisis here that it would really be the end of the Peace Process as we know it really whats key right now is what will be when netanyahu do if this as expected does go ahead and pass is this going to be a binding resolution many here say that it is or is it not a binding resolution as weve heard from many analysts today and what will happen next thank you very much momentum during that bringing us the latest on that resolution that Customs Officials in south korea have seen stay panama flying vessel suspected of transferring oil to north korea its a second ship pal for allegedly violating International Sanctions on friday south korea says it had impounded a Hong Kong Flagged vessel in november at the u.

Welcome back reminder of the top stories here on aljazeera your own president Hassan Rouhani says protesting is peoples rights but it shouldnt lead to violence it comes a social media apps like telegrams have been temporarily blocked to stop people spreading details about rallies rebel factions and syria have announced theyre forming a united front called the National Army to stop the asaad government said fonts. Oh and at least four people are reported to have been killed by Security Forces a protest as a protest in the democratic republic of the conqueror. For decades they know magic twa people and nation fought for greater political and economic inclusion a place still selling ten years ago was meant to overturn years of modularization and neglect but after years of drought and conflict a lack of education is now a major obstacle to building a new life mohammed fall reports. Its a harsh winter in north and east and for many twenty here the stink of cold weather is compounded by poverty. After years of drought and war in the region these former masters of the sahara have been reduced to a state of limbo midway between their previous life as livestock and the total distribution many suffer not. Like our country has turned into a barren desert our livestock can no longer survive without plants and grass in addition we cannot live in or work in towns. Are used to live as a nomad roaming with his life stuck in search of pasture and water. Now he lives in a makeshift shelter as miserable as the most basic refugee camp there is no Running Water here no Medical Center no schools no study supply of food and other necessities. Are used to own large herds of livestock all my cattle died and i was forced to move to town since i came i do not know what to do i have no profession my children are without work to living on donations and aid from agencies to live a little bit of our biggest mistake is that we did not go to school we know found that we cannot walk or find a job without education because we are harmed by only to see more than the drought our life is meaningless now. Other twenty who settled here years ago still live in humble mud homes invalid. But like the most basic amenities frustrated with the government and dejected by property some form of associations to mobilize everyone to work. They plan to budget to build goblins and trees around the village expect relief agencies for the government to provide support. But the bottom soil and severe climate than the efforts almost useless but want to go. And the rebellion against the Central Government but the peace that ensued hasnt brought them prosperity ahmed fired or dizzy. More journalists are in jail than any time in recent years according to figures released by the International Federation of journalists as says two hundred fifty journalists bloggers and cameramen are imprisoned worldwide hundred sixty of them in turkey eighty one journalists were killed this year compared to ninety three last year welcomes the fall in the loss of life but says the total womens on acceptably high mexico afghanistan iraq on syria topped the change a list. Says it is alone by the growing number of media workers killed in india six died this year so my understand is the author of the hostages daughter a memoir that details her journalist father terry andersons abduction and captivity by fighters in lebanon. My father was the middle east bureau chief of the Associated Press in lebanon during the one nine hundred eighty s. And before he was taken hostage it was a very different time in journalism journalists were were thought of as neutral observers not to be harmed and what happened to my father kind of kicked off a new era where journalists became targets. For kidnappings you know just it became a whole different ball game and that is kind of where we are now and as we saw with the isis kidnappings and what happened to james foley and the other hostages. Things are things are different than they used to be. And algis there is demanding the release of its journalists or to say its been more than a year since he was arrested and jailed in egypt for saying is accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which a strong it in his repeatedly complained of mistreatment and. Tens of thousands of people have been demonstrating in togo demanding an end to the fifteen year rule of president for now same day as the latest in the street protests organized by opposition groups in the west african nation that have been taking place since august protests as one new rules limiting president s to two terms in office passing by and his father before him. Since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven. Weve been claiming our bikes for four months now they dont even see is it looks like the cover my dream doesnt even consider us with the market is necessary that at least the state or the government knows that we are telling it we want to see definite. Change the u. S. City of rock forward in the midwestern state of illinois is the nations most violent small city now the police force is taking a unique approach to bringing down its crime right john hendren went to meet some of the offices moving into iraq for its most violent neighborhoods. This is probably the most dangerous city youve never heard of according to the f. B. I. Uniform crime report last year Rockford Illinois is the most violent u. S. City with a population under two hundred thousand block for block more perilous than los angeles or chicago so this midwestern town has launched the most extreme form of Community Policing in america everybody grab onto ok. Rockford has officers like eric thurman moving into high crime neighborhoods. Are to do that to those who the boys also dont like advance forging ties with a community that is often viewed them with suspicion. Normally if theres a shooting in the neighborhood everyones out. But we go talk to people interview them and what happened no one saw anything or no one heard nothing but you know rather me being here they know theyre comfortable talking with me you know theres a shooting right here everyone will come to my door they would come talk to me and they would tell me exactly what they saw thurmond and Patrice Turner or rockford first to resident officers. Is more about building relationships with the people that you police its more about building bridges instead of busting heads the citys police chief expects to add more resident officers in the next year with standard policing an officer gets the call gets in his car and drives through the scene but a resident officer like officer thurman really crosses the street and knocks on the door of a neighbor who probably already know. The program is less than a year old but is part of a broader strategy it appears to be working in two thousand and fifteen Rockford Police solve two of nineteen murders in two thousand and seventeen so far theyve solved nine of eighteen and could soon see charges in three more cases we need to have alternate strategies not only. Nationwide and this is working. And change peoples lives should. Critics say a troubled history between police and africanamericans will make that difficult i think. Its basically going to end up with a Police Presence in communities that i dont think are ready to accept the police as positive forces but in a turbulent city with a long history of ill will toward police. The filmon says its a beginning john hendren aljazeera Rockford Illinois. Back in july french president emanuel last call said he wanted to see no more Homeless People sleeping rough by the end of the year but that hasnt happened in the capital alone thats around thirty thousand Homeless People both refugees and locals and according to charities the problem is getting worse not in barber reports from paris hes been homeless for five years and hes still only twenty three tony doesnt want to show his face but hes happy to explain why despite the dangers he generally spends his days begging and his nights sleeping on the streets and not in a state funded emergency shelter. Recently someone stole my tent then when i was sleeping on a mattress someone kicked me in the head so they could grab the bag my head was resting on so life on the street is very hard but in those emergency shelters you also get attacked you get lots of drunkards and even if you dont look for trouble you find it its not safe there. The debate about how to deal with one hundred forty thousand people officially homeless in france was reopened this summer when the newly elected president made a surprise announcement. To delusion to the first battle is to have everyone in a dignified manner. By the end of the year i want no more women and men in the street in the woods last only. Michael suggested he could achieve this by providing more emergency shelters and better follow up by social services but groups who work with Homeless People say theyve not seen evidence of either they say there are now more rough sleepers than ever partly due to an increase in the number of refugees camped out in places like the can now some things like this have become commonplace across the french capital and there are less than one hundred thirteen thousand people sleeping rough in the city and its surroundings and although its hard to believe Homeless Charities say things are actually getting worse critics argue that the government could create thousands of extra beds for Homeless People right away using existing facilities here. Where theres an open door back to the reader its possible to a hospital wings that are currently empty theyve got heating and sanitation they can be converted quite easily theyre also not Army Barracks you could yes ok then theres a question of finance the organizations that look after the homeless and run the premises. Whatever the reality its clear winter brings extra hardships for rough sleepers according to one charity four hundred Homeless People have died this year alone and the average age was forty eight for alleviate who became homeless this year after a family crisis those figures come as no surprise. There are lots of people who are ill and who dont get to hospital he says either because they cant afford to or because they dont want to be treated. The new year should mean a new start for tony hes been offered work fundraising for a charity and he hopes to rent a flat with a friend but its not easy. I have already saved up eighteen hundred euros was my friend will have to pay two thousand two hundred euros so that the end of except us was out to get rent without proof off income looking back the president s short term target for homelessness seemed destined to fail but campaigners hope he will invest in Long Term Solutions that can get people off the streets for good.
