In a few months time the stands here at Luzhniki Stadium in moscow will be filled with football fans from all over the world armory chalons and ill have more on this later in the program with russia now in its world cup year. And least eight is a radians have been killed overnight in antigovernment protests according to state media it says twenty two people are known to have died since the demonstrations began on thursday. Say the Supreme Leader blames what he calls irans and it is for the trouble well matheson has more. Gunshots in the city of persia and on monday night. Demonstrators defy a Government Social media blackout posting these pictures from cities across iran of damaged cars frightened crowds and burning buildings. Just hours earlier in the capital tehran there was little sign of the turmoil which is engulfed parts of the country but the issues which have sparked the protests such as iran stuttering economy after years of sanctions and the fear of unemployment are serious concerns for people here might change on the part im working but in this society im always stressed about the possibility of getting fired the next day always being worried about my job my family the security of my family the main problems people are grappling with are their security the economy and their livelihood johnny advanced and there are some who are poor and cannot make ends meet what should they do life is really difficult we have tenants i have a daughter and son both at school the high prices really put me under pressure at home u. S. President donald trump has tweeted that iranians are hungry for food and freedom and thats led to protests outside the white house demanding the removal of president rouhani. Yes irans Supreme Leader says the countrys enemies are to blame for fueling the protests. One can see if the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack through which you can infiltrate look at the recent events all those who are at odds with the Islamic Republic have used various means including money weapons politics and intelligence apparatus to create problems for the islamic system yes la mic republic and the islamic revolution. On monday night protestors also continue to demonstrate against irans support for syrian president Bashar Al Assad as well as caused in lebanon and hamas in the occupied palestinian territories irans Republican Guard is threatening to stop the demonstrations but there are still calls for more protests rob matheson al jazeera. Well. There is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center and an associate at the Harvard KennedySchool Project is held on jazeera the protests are a backlash against irans disputed economic problems. Clearly the slogans are anti regimes they target all factions of the republic or factions of the establishment this time around so we have a lot of you know activism on the streets people from different different social strata especially the lower middle classes going in or out on the streets and we are facing heavy put the repression from the regime side as well so this is something that is that we have to watch im not surprised given if you have been objectively following the Socio Economic indicators in iran where you see a huge portion of the population perhaps you know people are talking about half of the population living around the poverty line and who have not been benefiting from either the reformist politics or the rani presidencies politics economic policies neither from the conservative side on the other hand you have a fundamental lack of the mock rattled rights in iran is so if you take all the structural factors plus the contingent factors the more recent factors so the governments response to the earthquakes student and labor protests and most recently the budget announcement of the Rwandan Government that was not really addressing those Socio Economic and political grievances which is you know which which i ask you later the situation and so if you take the structural and convention contingent factors you cannot be very much surprised. A spokesman for palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says a new israeli law which makes it harder to hand over plans in jerusalem is equivalent to a declaration of war israeli m. P. s passed the bill which means two thirds of the knesset must now approve giving up territory under a few chippies still a simple majority was required preview. It comes a day almost to the party of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu approved a draft resolution that calls for the launch costs of the occupied west bank to be an extent momentum june has lost some cash back and in occupied East Jerusalem there are still many questions being asked about the impact of this new law what we do know for sure is that number one this law would mean that a super majority or eighty of one hundred twenty knesset members would be needed for approval of any future legislation when it comes to giving up territory in jerusalem thats instead of the sixty one or simple majority members of the knesset that are needed or that were needed before now that makes a big difference because in effect that essentially takes to roost off the negotiating table and any future peace talks now the second and perhaps more contentious issue this brings up is that this could potentially allow for the changing of jerusalems municipal borders that means that neighborhoods like one behind me call for as well as the shroud refugee camp neighborhoods that are both behind the wall they would no longer potentially be part of the jerusalem municipality that raises a lot of questions about what would happen to the residents there that are now considered residents of East Jerusalem with those residents continue to be residents of jerusalem when they continue to be residents of israel would they be able in the future to vote in jerusalem elections many questions at this hour weve spoken to lots of analysts lots of lawyers there scratching their heads about it as well essentially this raises many issues about over one hundred thousand palestinians that are in neighborhoods like this that dont really know Going Forward what their residency status or other status are going to be a lot more uncertainty into an already very uncertain time. The pakistani government has summoned the u. S. Ambassador after president threatened to cut off aid and using pakistan have given safe haven to terrorists on the pressure from its neighbors as well as the u. S. Pakistan is now planning to take control of charities and Financial Assets linked to a man considered a terrorist by many countries the u. S. And india say half a sayit was behind the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai that killed more than one hundred sixty people thats actually going on as more. Theres a ten Million Dollar reward for any information leading to the conviction of half is sayit yet here he is at a rally last week protesting u. S. President Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel the United States believes saeed is the mastermind of the two thousand and eight attacks in mumbai over the course of four days attackers used automatic weapons and grenades to kill more than one hundred sixty people say he has denied involvement in the attacks and a court in pakistan found there was insufficient evidence to convict him and twenty seventeen he was put under house arrest for violating antiterrorism laws when he made his release prompted outrage from pakistanis and the u. S. Government which is long been critical of pakistan when it comes to clamping down on terrorism the pakistani government has targeted saeeds assets and charities they include three hundred schools hospitals Ambulance Services and a Publishing House the government is blocking fund raising and there are plans to assume control of them the Un Security Council has also banned two of sedes organizations pakistan is under pressure and therefore i this new decision. Has come after the british show by the americans by you and by india. This is a challenging time in pakistan u. S. Relations we must see Decisive Action against terrorist groups operating on their territory. And we make massive payments every year to pakistan they have to help pakistan says moving in on saeeds groups isnt bowing to u. S. Pressure its intended to fulfil its International Obligations reuters reports that pakistan was worried it would face un sanctions for failing to crack down on terrorist groups later this month a Un Security Council team will visit to check on its progress natasha going to aim does era well in pakistan supporters of science have been protesting against the move to target States Chandra since come on hina has more from islamabad the pakistani government had moved to ban hafiz saeed jagjit the outfit which had been working at cross bar get on a national day dr and respect among the people in the country however to move will be seen by them as an attempt to die for their work in this country theyre already waging protests get on starting in the city of karachi and not knowledge threatening blog the grand trunk road a major whitetail highway then get on the Pakistani Foreign minister on the other hand also lashing out at the United States by saying that progress on what is being blamed for the United States failure and ive won it on and by the americans blaming it on so indeed major developments read in the region but also a strong reaction expected from. Fareed if moving toward me on justify lets get more on this from roslyn children whos in washington d. C. Resident the white house surprised at the reaction by the Pakistan Government summoning the i mean its not the first time the trump or indeed the white house has said this kind of thing. Well the white house hasnt officially commented on the pakistani reaction to the president s tweet but it shouldnt come as any surprise to the pakistanis that the trumpet ministration like the Obama Administration before it has taken a very dim view of pakistans ability to deal with socalled terrorist groups such as such as the taliban such as. Because the ministration through al twenty seventeen even though it was really highlighted here in the u. S. Media did criticize pakistans ability to put down these groups to bring them to heel and to actually try to help promote stability in neighboring afghanistan in fact back in august some of the military aid some several hundred Million Dollars worth was held up because the Top Administration didnt think that the pakistani government was doing enough and they get caught today trying. To court they said there wasnt enough evidence they now have cutoff this funding well that be enough to aids the tensions with the u. S. It probably wont be enough still and thats because mr saeed is under indictment here in the United States for his role in the two thousand and eight moon by attacks least two americans were killed in that attack and so the u. S. Justice system believes that it should be able to bring him to trial for helping to allegedly mastermind that attack the case is also such that as long as he is able to move about freely the thought here in the United States is that he could plot other attacks and so the u. S. Would very much like to see him brought back into well physical custody if not in fact extradited here to the United States to face trial many things for us in jordan for your thoughts on this matter. Still to come on the Program New Year new start fucking junk a north korean leaders offer of talks is met with a cautious yes myself.
