A moron and. The author of a tell all book about donald trump and his fact as it hits the stores early the president says its for the. First a phone call now the two sides will meet face to face north korea agrees to hold talks with the self. Is taking a famous fish market prepares to relocate the final new year. With very expensive. So in new york the United Nations Security Council has held a special session to discuss the recent antigovernment protests in iran that have killed more than twenty people the u. S. Called a meeting accusing tehran of stifling the voices of its people the u. S. Ambassador to the opportunity to issue a warning to the iranian leadership. Once again the people of iran are rising up they are asking for something that no government can legitimately deny them their human rights and fundamental freedoms they are calling out think of us if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer it the Iranian Regime is now on notice the world will be watching what you do well its because what im mike hanna joins us live now from the u. N. Might say that was the us who else did we hear from. Well we heard from all fifteen members of the Security Council including the six nations have recently joined and certainly the u. S. Did receive some support for its position in particular from the United Kingdom its ambassador insisting that the Security Council had every right to discuss recent events in iran quoting the seldom used part of the United Nations charter but there were others who were insistent that the matter should not have got to the Security Council chamber insisting that this was an internal domestic matter the Security Council should not be empowered to debate such issues among them of course was iran allowed to take part in the discussions at the invitation of the president the Iranian Ambassador saying that the u. S. Had a long history as he put it of attempting to disrupt the process of democratization within iran following such acts of disruption take in these u. S. Administration as floating International Law and this is specd into practice as of civilized behavior in International Politics is that ministers in is not the spirit of the ching for that keeps it a flute. There is a long history of u. S. Bullying at the u. N. But this is preposterous example well this position backed by russia which had been vehemently opposed to the fact of this meeting taking place saying that it was a very dangerous precedent to investigate or look at the Domestic Affairs of Member States adding that it was a precedent that could at some stage be used against the u. S. The country that it actually set it by calling for this particular resolution used in the put up loop of the rule reason for convening today is not to protect human rights or promote the interests of the iranian people but rather a veiled attempt to continue to undermine the Iranian Nuclear agreement which we consider it an acceptable to intentionally undermine the agreement but mike it wasnt just those who you might expect to differ with the United States and others had the very impatient student. Yes there were there were a variety of positions within the Security Council but that issue about discussing the internal Domestic Affairs of by Member States was one that was repeated by a number of the members we heard from equitorial guinea for example ethiopia making the same point and saying that the real danger here is that the unity of the Security Council itself could be undermined by such discussions and a traditional u. S. Allies such as france also taking sides saying very clearly that this was a matter of internal domestic issues that the Security Council should not be looking at this and intend to in turn focusing its attention the french ambassador on the joint comprehensive plan of action that are a new nuclear deal something that the u. S. Has vehemently opposed under President Trump so even france are moving away from the u. S. On this particular issue at the end of the discussions perhaps the warning of ethiopia are borne out of it because after this discussion after this debate then it would appear that the security going council got up more divided than it was when it set down or my thanks very much indeed thats my kind of reporting from the United Nations. Publishes of a new and scathing account of Donald Trumps first year in office have released the book early ignoring a legal challenge from the us president to prevent its publication Michael Wolff the all through fire and fury inside the Trump White House says trump has no credibility the u. S. Leader has branded the book as phony and full of lies and estabrook as the story. Crowd swarmed this washington bookstore at midnight friday snatching up copies of fire and fury inside the Trump White House present the crisis right now i cant take your order of the phone politics and prose opened it ten am within thirty minutes eager buyers had nabbed all thirty copies the store had im super excited to read this i went to a couple of different bookstores even midnight last night there was another bookstore selling this they sold out in twenty minutes why are you so interested in this book. Why would i not be interested in this book it is so salacious and to see. Politics die hard and scary to read it at three hundred twenty pages this is a relatively like home but it is filled with explosive material the author Michael Wolff said he spent eighteen months conducting about two hundred interviews with senior white house staff in one passage wolf says former british Prime Minister tony blair offered this nugget of information to the president s son in law jared cushion or there was he suggested the possibility that the british had had the Trump Campaign staff under surveillance blair is denying the claim. Another passage describes a potential change in saudi arabia the president was considering before his trip last spring to the middle east in the days before his departure he was telling people that the saudis were going to finance an entirely new military presence in the kingdom supplanting and even replacing the u. S. Command headquarters in qatar fire and fury wasnt supposed to be released until tuesday but the books publisher move the date up after attorneys for President Trump issued a cease and desist letter threatening legal action in an interview friday morning author Michael Wolff stood by his book and added this observation the one description that that everyone gave everyone has in common they all say he is like a childs. And what they mean by that is he has and a need for Immediate Gratification its all about him the white house is labeling fire and fury tabloid trash President Trump wouldnt answer questions about the book friday afternoon but tweeted i never spoke to him for the book full of lies misrepresentations and sources that dont exist still fire and fury is yet another distraction for a white house that is trying to advance among other things a new immigration plan and a spending plan to avoid a looming Government Shutdown dian estabrook aljazeera washington but its enough for america whos a political analyst and says that the response from the white house to Michaels Michaels book has been unprecedented not only is there information in the book that the trouble that Trump White House doesnt want out there but perhaps theyve struck a nerve that the president is willing to go so far and trying to discredit the author discredit the material in the book and again i think this is a very difficult time for this information and for this book to become out particularly when you look at all of the major issues confronting this white house and confronting this congress right now after more than two years of silence north korea and south korea ready to reopen direct lines of communication choose days face to face talks will focus initially on the norths participation in next months Winter Olympics in the self but officials in seoul say discussions are expected to move on to what they describe as of the air is of common interest for as many as this report. In a few days the truce village of panmunjom on the Demilitarized Zone that separates north and south korea will be a hive of activity representatives from the two countries will hold high level talks here for the first time in more than two years earlier this week north Korean Leader kim jong il dialogue at his address four days later his government agreed to hold talks the announcement came just hours after the u. S. And south korea agreed to postpone and your military drills for the end of february these have long been regarded as provocative by pyongyang. Leaders agreed not to conduct south korea yes joint drills. And to do their best to ensure the security of the olympics. Next weeks discussions will center on north koreas participation in the upcoming Winter Olympics as well as generally improving into korea relations but officials here in south korea are also hoping the negotiations will eventually lead to north korea returning to international talks on its Nuclear Program even so president cautiously optimistic saying we should refrain from making premature judgement expectation. The Japanese Defense minister also sounded a lot of caution when. North korea goes through phases of apparent dialogue and provocations but either way north korea is continuing its nuclear and Missile Development we have no intention of weakening our warning and surveillance. It is new years day speech said north korea would meditate its Nuclear Weapons program and even called for the mass production of deployment of Nuclear Warheads and this house. From the conservative perspective in north korea trying to buy time the majority seems to believe the north korea is trying to finalize its Technical Development to to achieve operational i. C. B. M. So you know as us the cia has announced before they are talking about two three month time in terms of finalizing the i. C. B. M. System and it looks like this is a perfect action on their side you know to buy time. Last year north korea test fired three to continental Ballistic Missiles or i. C. B. M. s including one that its capable of reaching the u. S. Made any hope the upcoming talks to be the best option for now of deescalate the crisis on the Korean Peninsula largely aljazeera so when earlier we spoke to before me or sam bacile to south korea thats Christopher Hill who believes we shouldnt read too much into these latest talks beyond the olympic games. I think its important to understand there are two sets of negotiations one is the socalled six Party Process aimed at the Security Issues the other is socalled peninsula talks aimed at trying to reduce tensions on the peninsula and i think its especially important for the South Koreans right now to engage in these talks after all they have the olympics coming up it has been an enormous investment for south korea both in money terms but also in National Prestige so they really want these olympics to go very well and so they see a real opportunity here in the short term whether this can become something for the longer term whether the North Koreans would be prepared to for example return to discussions about denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula i dont really see any signs of it but certainly in the context where weve had zero good news on any aspect of the korean crisis this is i think one ray of hope and so its quite understandable why why theyve engaged in this the United Nations humanitarian chief says that yemen could become the worst humanitarian disaster in fifty is the wars having a devastating impact in yemen with widespread Food Shortages and a major cholera outbreak fighting continues in many parts of the country stephanie deca has this. Forced to live out in the open these yemeni families of escape the fighting need to border with saudi arabia now they have to bear the elements on the streets of the data they did he reach in now for everyone to see this war has displaced hundreds of thousands of people. I came from we ran for our lives now we sleep on the floor no mattresses or blankets and it is really cold we have no income our children are suffering if any of us fall sick we cannot afford treatment our condition is really terrible and needless to say we are living in fear. This war now almost into its third year is all about regional politics and control and the consequence of that has created what the u. N. Calls the worlds worst humanitarian crisis the situation in yemen today right now to the population of the country looks like the apocalypse we need to scale up our response the cholera outbreak is probably the worst the world has ever seen with a million suspected cases at the end of twenty seventeen this terrible news demick of diptheria a bacterial disease which should be completely preventable by immunization as already affected it out to five hundred people with dozens and dozens of deaths in the last few weeks that is going to spread like wildfire and aid agencies are not able to access the majority of those in need let them xanana we had to skip the war our life has turned upside down and we cant afford a decent meal were now begging to eat and feed our children were living in the streets on charity. Some basic supplies are getting through a blanket to keep warm it is winter now and temperatures drop at night in a fire offers that will comfort these people face an uncertain future with no idea when they can go back home what will be left of it once they do Stephanie Decker aljazeera.
