A way that destabilizes and at times directly threatens others scoldings and reprimands at the u. N. Meeting on antigovernment protests in iran. Also a new book called the trumpet ministrations caused quite a stir will examine the authors claims about the white house and its policy towards the middle east. And already grim situation in yemen worsens with preventable diseases and the lack of basic necessities causing more deaths. And the push against intolerance despite rising censorship transgressive indeed lieschen and International Art has found a new home in jakarta. Welcome to the news that the Un Security Council has wrapped up a special session on the recent protests in iran with the us accusing turan of stifling the voices of its people but other members objected to the meeting insisting that the council was not the place to discuss the countrys internal affairs mike hanna reports from the un in new york. There was animated debate in the Council Chamber before the discussions began terms members taken aback by the lack of notice from the u. S. In calling for this public debate the u. S. Ambassador adamant that it was essential iran be called to account if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry we will finally answer the Iranian Regime is now on notice the world will be watching what you do russia had vehemently opposed what it saw as an unacceptable intervention in irans internal affairs but also argued that the us had another motive in pushing for this meeting used to put up the real 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 would have an agreement that the french ambassador maintained in his speech was crucial also distancing himself from the u. S. Decision to call these discussions with your president but it is up to the arena and to the iranians to pursue the path of peaceful dialogue a dialogue based on full respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the rain people however worrying the events of the last few days in iran may be they do not constitute say a threat to International Peace and security. Given speaking rights in the council irans ambassador described the u. S. Action as yet another attempt at political destabilization following such acts of disruption take in. That ministration as flouting International Law and this is specd in the practices of civilized behavior in International Politics is that ministers and is not the spirit clearly ching for every restaurant that keeps it afloat. That is a long history of u. S. Bullying at the u. N. But this is. Preposterous example the ethiopian representative expressed concern that what he described as a necessary debate such as this could undermine Security Council unity. And indeed at the end of the discussion members got up perhaps more divided and when they had sat down mike had ill just hear a United Nations now theres been a third valleys in support of irans government one of the largest was in the capital tehran where people chanted and to us slogans claiming washington for the unrest and same but he has more. Another day of progovernment rallies in iran seemingly part of a two pronged approach to keep detractors off the streets a large show of public support and a heavy Police Presence across the country with critics inside and outside iran predicting the downfall of the Islamic Republic the government is determined to publicly project the power of the state at friday prayers in the capital to her on a senior cleric reminded people of irans real enemies who he says are behind the unrest in the country lets say announce this is what is happening saudi arabia gave the money the u. S. Did the planning it was coordinated from u. S. Control very means in have out and weapons are being transferred little by little to iran they wanted to finish is in february that was the plan but he also sympathized with public demands for better Economic Conditions it tear our thoughts of the protests was right those who lost their money its not too long protest for them people are saying death to high prices were saying not to what people are saying should be heard peoples rights shouldnt be missed in the middle of this mess. Meanwhile what was essentially a leaderless protest movement with competing demands seems to have fizzled out but on social media sites people are still sharing week old videos of antigovernment demonstrations protests last week were the boldest challenge to run stablish mint in nearly a decade but crowd sizes only ever numbered in the thousands in contrast in two thousand and nine more than a Million People came out into the streets to protest the reelection of president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but for now activists who oppose the government have been sidelined by much larger crowds who support. Assistant professor of politics at the university of tennessee he says the protests are dropping off because they lack a clear direction. If you know that a lot and that just a chant of. Earth now we realize that the people are all all of them actually knowing what they dont what they are chanting against their stomach the Public Policy it is about a politician was a leader and the president an islamic. You know as establishment as adult in terms of policy except our policy pulled have been criticized by the protesters so they do what they dont want what exactly the problem is they dont know what they want they have little chance of the skull getting in favor of the monarchy the life i didnt want to be and to think that they have the spark against even the republic you know theres limited public oligarchic groups there is a small Core Concepts about the clergy an amendment. Out and they have all. You know. About them to you think person of the population that they are supporting that and theyre just thinking about giving already dark and these people for the public or den or other who did and. When it comes to their people sought even to. Understand. The math of the people are in reality. The bought their own push up big. The author of a critical book about u. S. President donald trump is standing by his work saying it was based on about two hundred interviews publishers of the account of trumps first year in Office Release the book firing theory early ignoring a legal challenge from the president to prevent its publication now trump has branded the book phony and full of lies Diane Estabrook has more from washington d. C. Crowd swarmed this washington bookstore at midnight friday snatching up copies of fire and fury inside the Trump White House present the criterion right here 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 will 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 moved 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 in media 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 we did 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 diagnosed abroad aljazeera washington now along with the revelations about Donald Trump Style of government theyre also passages in the book called the president s Foreign Policy specifically in relation to the gulf now it says that trumps in a circle centered its middle east policy on just four players their goal to unite egypt israel and saudi arabia against iran it also says the president was telling people the saudis were going to finance an entirely new u. S. Military presence in the kingdom potentially replacing its command headquarters in cattle and in another. Trump apparently gave the nod to the saudis plan to bully cattle and in june of course saudi arabia egypt on the u. A. E. As well as bahrain cut diplomatic and economic ties with cattle. Saying is a political partner with Treatment National security project and former Obama Administration advisor joins me now from washington d. C. Good to have you with us on the program as we just mentioned the book has lots of things to discuss and confirms the notion that trump seems to have given given saudi the nord to bully cattle do you think even now trump was ever or ever did realize the strategic importance militarily of cattle to the American National interest. No i think that president tunnel trump has clearly. Lack of understanding of the strategic importance of doha on the two extremely important bases in the area and we know for a fact that the national Security Council on the pentagon is not interested in moving those to bases however that is something that the iranian bassett are to washington d. C. As well as the saudi ambassador has lobbied heavily to me because the basis only some provide a strategic importance to the United States but they also help to establish some level of deterrence for qatar so for example saudi arabia is essentially an able to and theyd qatar or any other surrounding countries able to invade cantars if those two american bases are there but it is in the United States strategic interest to keep those bases there and qatar has been integra partner in the fight against isis one of the issues obviously that has been there in the coming days in the recent obviously this evening has been. And we are hearing from a sit down interview with Associated Press that so three state to listen is say that they are trying to six the iran deal is this nuclear deal that was done to the Obama Administration that trump wants to get riddles. He say that they want to try and six it visage they come six it to the president s pleasure. Sure so i think that thats really important to delineate that thats more of a play on rhetoric than it is on the actual substance of the deal so there are three really important things to think about when youre thinking about the nuclear deal the first piece is the think sions piece the economic interest piece for the United States and our partners the second piece is the issue of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle the capability of iran to proliferate a civilian Nuclear Energy program and also their ability of proliferating a conventional Ballistic Missile weapons system and then the third piece would be the broader implication for the general middle east and so whats been happening the reason why donald trump pates it is because when he ran for president you know he called it quote unquote the worst steel lever ever but what weve seen is that really hes not able to come up with a better deal hes certainly not able to in the case of north korea and so what theyre trying to do politically is just prevent their president from having to be the one to sign off to sign off on it every six months which is the current law and so what hes done is hes punted it to congress and theyre looking at ways that they can be creative now to essentially throw the ball into congresss Court Without essentially scrapping the deal altogether going to lead them to rhetorical as hell call that effect well find them very difficult because even in fridays United NationsSecurity Council meeting friends in the United Kingdom were very clear on the science that iran had been compliant with the agreement they were unwilling to change. And what is the problem is to listen and not to sin in this the American Continent to try. To solution they seem to be in the minority. One wonders whether they come to believe or will they just put up with trump. Now i need to clarify something for you the problem is not actually within the deal itself so after the deal was passed or rather certified in the International Arena congress put forth an act called the Iran Nuclear Deal review act which gave con the president rather the authority to recertify the deal every six months so what the president is really concerned about is that recertify cation coming to his desk and not actually the meat of the deal that france russia and the other parties of the of the deal signed on to because exactly as you said all of the other parties as well as the i. A. E. A. Have certify that iran is in fact complying with the deal so what they want to do politically is just distance President Trump from it and thats why we had we saw senator corker the chairman of the Senate ForeignRelations Committee and Ranking Member ben cardin who is the senior democratic member of the Senate ForeignRelations Committee reportedly go to the white house yesterday to have a meeting with h. R. Mcmaster to discuss that so basically what theyre doing is theyre getting creative in order to distance the deal from President Trump because thats what he wants but at the same time they want to preserve the integrity of the deal least thats what my inside sources tell me. To leave it really is. So much for joining us from washington d. C. Office thank you for having me. Still ahead here on the aljazeera news the army steps up to help contain a cholera outbreak in zambia. And a brutal cold spell groups the u. S. East coast at least eighteen People Killed after one of the strongest winter storms in modern history class. Im. Sorry but. That was the week. For the latest report in our series on what we think will be some of the biggest stories of the year when the refugee camp in bangladesh its now home to hundreds of thousands of rangar who fled violence in me in law since august last year the uns accused me a mass government of textbook ethnic cleansing which it denies reports on what the refugees face in the year ahead. With their three children across the border from myanmar into bangladesh at the end of december they joined the more than six hundred fifty thousand refugees who fled the military crackdown on the region in Rakhine State in which to myanmar she says her husband was killed as they tried to flee. I do not do that either but if we couldnt go anywhere because there was heavy fighting from all directions and my husband was shot dead by Security Forces there are very few people who still remain here they try to go to the forest and River Fishing but the military does not allow then they say you cant go there anymore and you cant harvest the paddies either so people are not able to work the million mom true tells us you are not and there is no ranger in our country going to the country where there already hinges. Western governments including the u. S. Of called the crackdown on the predominately muslim or hinge or ethnic cleansing but myanmar has denied access to any independent investigation in Rakhine State the ranger have suffered at decades of persecution and violence they were stripped of their citizenship in what was then burma thirty five years ago the myanmar government considers them Illegal Immigrants from bangladesh and evidence of the brutality they have suffered in recent months is shocking. The Charity Doctors without borders says at least six thousand seven hundred were killed by the myanmar Security Forces between the end of august and late september it says at least seven hundred thirty range of children younger than five years old were among those killed mostly shot dead Doctors Without Borders also says nearly ten percent of children who died were burned alive in their homes and at least five percent were beaten to death Human Rights Watch and aid organizations working in these camps in neighboring bangladesh say myanmar soldiers gang raped women and young girls the refugees have escaped death in myanmar but the struggle to survive in the camps goes on the un says seven percent of children here are suffering severe acute malnutrition a condition that will kill if not treated properly. The biggest challenge that we face right now is that this is the Fastest Growing refugee in the world think about washington d. C. But without Health Services without medicines without proper access to food we know recent studies that eighty percent of new arrivals to food assistance. Have been outbreaks of Communicable Diseases including measles and diptheria the camps aid organizations estimate around seventy percent of the worlds are contaminated with fiesole matter the governments of bangladesh and myanmar say they will proceed with a voluntary repatriation scheme in the coming weeks. Says she will never take her children back to myanmar until the government at least recognize them as a ranger until it guarantees them the same rights and security as citizens of the country they and hundreds of thousands of other ranger refugees were born in and call. Chance transferred aljazeera our next story in the series takes a look at the upcoming Winter Olympics in south korea the games in pyongyang chang at the center of the first major thaw in relations between north and south korea in decades but there is an unexpected worry its likely to be the coldest Opening Ceremony in twenty years and you can see that story here on out is there on sunday. Now russia says it hopes the dialogue between north and south korea will settle tensions on the peninsula after two years of silence between pyongyang and seoul the shuttle for tuesday obviously has more from seoul. 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 new years day 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 military 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 and its cautiously optimistic saying we should refrain from making premature judgement expectation. The Japanese Defense minister also sounded a lot of caution but. 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 maintain its Nuclear Weapons program and even called for the mass production and 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 it took continental Ballistic Missiles or i. C. B. M. s including one that its capable of reaching the u. S. Mainland maybe hoped the upcoming talks to be the best option for now of deescalate the crisis on the Korean Peninsula largely aljazeera so. The former u. S. Ambassador to south korea Christopher Hill says the upcoming talks are a Welcome Development but well thats unlikely to address north koreas Nuclear Program 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 and 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 now the escalation in rhetoric between the u. S. And North Koreans prompted america. A leading Health Institute to prepare advice on the public response to a Nuclear Strike the centers for Disease Control have shared children in official briefing for medical workers later this month earlier this week u. S. President donald trump and north Korean Leader kim jong un boasted about having Nuclear Launch buttons on their desks. Well twitter is not budging on calls for certain political figures to be banned from its platform in a blog post the social media giant explained that blocking World Leaders all removing their controversial tweets would hide Important Information people should be able to see and debate twitter also said it looks at the political context in which tweets with the or tweets with the Public Interest in mind it comes after a recent post by the u. S. President led to renewed calls for Donald Trumps account to be removed back as those foreign minister says his country is being made a scapegoat for washingtons military failures in afghanistan in response to the u. S. Decision to suspend military assistance to islamabad but asif also told the wall street journal that the white house failed to behave as an ally washington says it will withhold aid until pakistan takes Decisive Action against the taliban and the french president has warned his turkish counterpart that democracies must respect the rule of law during a meeting in paris it was rest of their are the ones first visit to france since the failed coup of twenty sixteen emanuel my cross said developments in turkey are blocking progress on its accession and proposed partnership between turkey and the regional bloc instead of one defended his government from eve criticism of congress crackdown on dissent has over the past year. But turkey is ruled by law europe always tells us that the judiciary must really that while in turkey our judiciary is independent they make their own decisions you know dependently. Terror just not just happen. For those who support. It they prime it. They nourish tara. As far as membership of the e. U. Is concerned there is no progress we had a very frank and open discussion on that but there is a need for more dialogue in the context of the current circumstances with. Paris. Well this was an opportunity for these two leaders to talk about the many pressing regional issues in the middle east they talked about syria they talked about iraq and jerusalem with president michel reaffirming his commitment to a two state solution for the israelis and the palestinians that was something the turkish president said he appreciated very much but there was a real focus on turkeys relationship with the European Union because it really has deteriorated over the past two years the e. U. Criticizes turkey over its poor human rights record especially after that twenty sixteen failed coup the European Union saying that ankara has really come down too hard on what it sees as political opponents with tens of thousands of people arrested and sucks now turkey is a member is a candidate for membership i should say all of the European Union but that exception talks have been on hold for the last two years so this was the turkish president s attempt to try and mend those relations he has come to visit the french president because france is one of turkeys main allies of the moment and there is no doubt that the turkish president as relations with the u. S. Become more fragile and the situation the middle east is also fragile he is looking for support elsewhere person mark or also raise the issue of human rights that is something very important to the French Public there were protests here today against the turkish president coming to france for president mark or he says he is very pragmatic he does not believe that that should necessarily get in the way of turkey having a Good Relationship with france and turkey cooperating on issues such as controlling illegal migration to europe and the fight against what president calls terrorism.
