Christians around the world including russians these are pictures from christ the savior to see drove the santo also helps christianity in moscow. Thank you for watching the headlines here at r. T. International broadcasting live from moscow. A full state of mass progovernment rallies has been held in iran tens of thousands of people have been on marches to show their support for the countrys leaders these come in response to a seven day uprising triggered by poor Living Conditions that engulfed over eighty cities. That was. On friday night the United NationsSecurity Council at washingtons request held an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in iran russia criticized the mayor saying that terror on should be left alone to deal with its own internal affairs well that sentiment was echoed by a number of other members of the Security Council in the past week what has happened on the ground throughout the nation of iran is something the world must take note. Of the last few days in iran they do not constitute. A threat to International Peace and security every u. N. Member state. But Member States cannot use sovereignty as a shield when they categorically deny their people human rights and fundamental freedoms. Council should not discuss the issues of any country or its human rights issues if the founding principles of this institution mean anything we will not only hear their cry will finally answer. We are witnessing an attempt by some of the allegations to bring to the attention of the Security Council issues that do not fully correspond with the mission of this body. States stands unapologetically with those in iran who seek freedom for themselves change in iran will not come from outside it will come from the iranian people themselves nothing will stop americas standing in solidarity with. Iran deal with its own internal problems since this is precisely what is taking place. In the end. Security council. The Iranian Foreign minister shared his views on the meeting he called it a Foreign Policy blunder by the trumpet ministration meanwhile americas top diplomat Rex Tillerson has been quizzed about washingtons support for the iranian antigovernment protesters youve said that you want to support quote. Elements in the country that will lead to a peaceful transition of government that sounds like regime change but i think to me iranian people have suffered under this regime we do not support the traditions of power but we do support peaceful transition of power we discuss the events in iran with political analyst shabbier house anally he says america helped to ferment long rust the reality is that many of the people whove been arrested off from. Inspired groups and youve got these type of people who came in from the outside from places like kurdistan from afghanistan they were supported by the swathe of sort of tweets that were coming out of washington now this is america israel saudi arabia interfering at least from a distance within irans internal affairs yes iran has got economic problems absolutely but a lot of those economic problems we mustnt forget because the commitments that america had with j. C. P. O. Way have been flagrantly abused the day j c p o j c p oh it was signed america turned around and put some new sanctions on iran which is ridiculous. And inflammatory new book about donald trump has rocketed to the top of the bestsellers list this weekend fire and fury claims to reveal who the president really is and what its like to be around him but its been met with skepticism from the white house and with ridicule by trump himself. Position is very clear that we think it is full of false and fake information we went to the best colleges for college i went to had a situation where i see a very excellent student came out and made billions and billions of dollars became one of the top Business People went to television for ten years was a tremendous success as you probably have heard ran for president one time in one and then i hear this guy that does not know me doesnt know me at all by the way did not interview me for three city interviewed me for three hours in the white house that didnt exist ok its in his imagination well the book quotes the president s former Senior AdviserSteve Bartman one of many people to exit via the revolving white house door last year and its caused quite an uproar in the Mainstream Media buyer and weve got a book to talk about here it is and all of gossipy details trumps rambling and his alarming repetitions had significantly increase he was no more than seventy literate when he has to be in the white house they took him into bed at six thirty in the chair there is not mentally fit you cannot do this job running at Adult Daycare Center moron and he should not be president hes not going to make it he said these last is stuff well here are just a few of the books claims apparently donald trump found the white house daunting and that his own behavior contributed to washingtons dysfunction it also asserts that the us leader himself was behind leaks of personal data and alleges that trump enjoys eating cheeseburgers in bed we asked people in washington if the book was on their reading list if youre looking to confirm youre already in the bios this is the book you want to read im not a fan of the president at all i just want to find out whats in it and sort of satisfy my curiosity you know its. Tough for us booksellers to get a copy but a series i can. Well media and legal analyst lionel told us why the book is a godsend for many Media Outlets. Nobody cares except the people in the Mainstream Media who can now focus on it they dont have to do any research they dont have to do any heavy lifting all they have to do is pick out the particulars spore says that they like its a rehash of the same story its not substantive it doesnt deal with any of the problems that really affect the country or the world its easy its easy to digest law hanging fruit its perfect for them what effect is it going to have absolutely nothing the people who hate drugs hate them the people who love dr love him now theres going to change. The rollercoaster ride for bitcoin seems to be on the up again after a recent slump of almost forty percent its currently hovering at the seventeen thousand dollars mark after hitting highs of twenty thousand last year and heres a quick reminder of the journey so far. Bitcoin has hit a Financial Milestone not reached in almost four centuries its taken over the title of biggest bubble in history for what was known as mania in the netherlands. Value has surged by around sixty times in the last three years thats considerably faster than sure it bogs in the seventeenth century which were at one point worth ten years of a skilled craftsman cerny back then prices were driven by greed or a fear of missing out but as more people bought into the bulbs for quick profits a flurry of sales collapsed the price left many with crippling debts is being called the digital of the twenty First Century is the same pattern emerges that fear of missing out in new investors piling in critics say the perceived value of the currency like the church is being counted out of thin air with the ever growing army of bitcoin believers. Sorry its here to stay operational market in full flow around the clock and new places all over the world ready to accept the crypto currency as payment even a church in london is happy to accept donations of the virtual kind with the size of the bitcoin market already set passing some countries economies new zealand included influential banks are being left behind but as history shows us boom is usually followed by bust so we bitcoin about to wilt. Well some people have struck it rich with the Virtual Currency internet entrepreneurs the winklevoss twins have amassed a billion dollar fortune while this teenager is now a millionaire after investing a small sum from his grandmother a few years ago and the man who said to have created the cyber current c forty holds around seventeen billion dollars worth but its not been plain sailing for everybody one man accidentally threw away thousands of bitcoins when his hard drive broke in twenty thirteen and a hungry customer paid ten thousand bitcoins for two pizzas a few years ago which is worth one hundred sixty Million Dollars today or ten million a slice and this person was jailed for Money Laundering off to he sold his bitcoins to someone involved in Illegal Drugs well for more on the pros and cons we had from some financial commentators i am sure it is their level in fact is probably the biggest bubble ive ever seen in my career as an investor and ive seen quite a few bubbles and im familiar with the psychology that surrounds them you know big quiet it took a rocket ship up and its going to come down even faster because it is not a bubble because it actually is the pin thats the pin thats part of popping the Legacy Financial systems bubble. Over a printing of money. Over valuation of a stock the beauty of it the supporters say stay centralized its everything that. You know the big quite itself is not to take knology could be the reward but you dont need to have a block chain there are all these other cryptocurrency is that have block chains and they dont use big court and you can use block change for anything big what about the fight over the consensus the larger white sheet is the only one that large is the largest block sort of the only one that matters the one that does the most no it doesnt the most people the right of is the one thats most trustworthy you know the small if youve got a block in your pocket and not have a sense of what model or algorithm work meaning you dont have any minors or you dont have. Consensus that doesnt mean a thing thats a really really slow data blood what and thats what it is but what is it what is the value what is the inherent value of a bit coy what it what can you do with the big quite to make it worth seventeen thousand dollars if i have one big point what can i use it for what can i do with it you could buy anything as a matter of fact i could buy gold out of this god i got a patch full dot com and i could buy gold out of this guy go buy gold at sixty percent off with the situation where now dangerous is that you know what people all remold getting and spending savings on but look it is very dangerous but what is it is that he terry you think theyre going to get rich quick because right now the only reason that people are buying big quote is because the prices going up and what it turns around then theyre going to be selling it for the same reason.

In. All book touches upon many aspects of life in traditional Yemeni Society it also looks at the civil war saudi arabias intervention in the conflict and the problem of terrorism and lara sylvia battalion outlined to us imaginations for writing it the haim of the book the yemeni bride is sort tracked their audience and especially also young people too to yemen some of them they dont know exactly where yemen here is in the map some of them the heard about yemen all the buying news by yemen is a country you need to know from inside and what we decided to do with this book is also to tell good stories about cook system so people inside the country we wish had to tell something for example about the reason why terrorism and the car that spread around the country or why some part of al qaeda target into high seas for example in yemen and you can tell this is also an specially led the people seeing with the drawings what i so as a witness.

This is the devastation and ive been a tag both on the islands and it seems they have shot up several boats and killed the crews and the gears sank and they died because of that tax and aggression against you and then. On. Twenty seventeen wasnt an easy year for this channel r. T. Was labeled a Propaganda Machine and Foreign Agents by the u. S. Government and also accused of influencing the u. S. Electorate to vote for donald trump but our reporter symmetric on they have found a Silver Lining lets be honest twenty seventeen was the year our team made the headlines as opposed to just reporting the headlines that all started about a year ago when the u. S. Intelligence community concluded that russia interfered in the us president ial election while providing not a shred of evidence to substantiate any of these claims and nearly half of the report was dedicated to r. T. E. Explaining how we supposedly sway the election in trumps favor arties criticism of the us election was the latest facet of its broader and longer standing and to us messaging likely aimed to undermining viewers trust in us democratic. Sieges and on the cuts in us criticism of russias political system fast forward to march twenty seventh team senator shaheen introduces a bill to investigate the russian propaganda outlet r. T. News as a Foreign Agent the Foreign Agents registration act was passed back in the late one nine hundred thirty s. And response to concerns about nazi propaganda i think is absolutely appropriate today for us to take a look at what russia and other countries may be doing to our news and since then switch on any congressional hearing and youll probably hear our team mention once or twice Propaganda Machine contributed to the influence campaign by serving as a platform for criminal messaging using russian government funded outlets russian propaganda Media Outlets like r t we should be concerned about this propaganda arm and sputnik i think its a propaganda arm of nato to be looking in responding to some of the russian propaganda in a different way and then tech giants joined in starting with google who removed r t from you tube premium Advertising Service even though they didnt find proof of any violations going on to twitter who conducted their own investigation on russian meddling and then cited that to ban r t ads thats despite the fact that before the election twitter themselves sent us a multimillion dollar advertising proposal to propel our election coverage next thing you know r. T. America forced to register as a Foreign Agent or risk arrest and have all assets frozen in the United States it tells someone to register under a Foreign Agent requirement we dont see impacts or affects the ability of them to report. News and information we just have the register its as simple as that but soon after that we were stripped of our Congressional Press credentials precisely because of the Foreign Agent status and of course the state department dodged my questions when i asked them about it when our t. Was forced to register as a Foreign Agent and you said that it would inhibit our ability to report however just a couple weeks ago our press credentials were revoked so doesnt this contradict your earlier statement i think press credentials may have been revoked by congress and not necessarily the members of congress but rather the association of reporters that handles who gets to come in and Cover Congress and last but not least the a or this years defense bill which contains a provision that will allow Cable Networks to cancel contracts with any network quote owned controlled or financed by the government of the Russian Federation prior to that federal law made it illegal for them to drop our teeth but now they will apparently be allowed to do so so seems the Us Government is closing in on us from every direction possible and as a result all eyes are on our team so thank you for all of the free advertising samir han r. T. Washington d. C. Kids ations of russian interference in us politics seem to be old rage though this is the first time america has been gripped by anti russian hysteria.

Baro is the symbol the leader on the cover of the jackal. Which is always found in the throes of anyone who dares to expose individual communists and try to get off at the evil energy of him during our look adept its a different empire max and not very different to what a lot of our partners of a former k. G. B. Man in europe plotting when i go and see. If a person defend the activities of communist nations while consistently attacking the domestic and Foreign Policy of the United States she may be a communist i will say if they object they are now carrying out the desires and ambitions of lattimer putin. A bloodless coup engineered by russia with at best the traitorous indifference of the Republican Party and Donald John Trump and the military apparatus of this country is about to be handed over to stomach who are beholden to sky russian sky. Oya back in just over half an hour with the latest news but for the meantime go to our speed up called. Its the cradle of jazz. Is america is the america we have. The old this jazz feeling. A city of climatic contest trophies of alligators on the loose of poverty and crime are used by the least twelve members of my family close most. Of street racing in the heat of the night this is new orleans supplement the best place in the work. Week. Sgt. Mr. Kaiser this is the kaiser report happy orthodox christmas you know a lot of people en masse are shopping over the holidays and apparently theyre suffering a big debt hanging over oh. Yes of course its an orthodox Christmas Day and thats why you look like a Christmas Present there. If you take the hat off. Because that is not a new shank and i want to bring that up because moscow today while we record this thirty six degrees raleigh where we are is twenty three degrees and this isnt fahrenheit and this should be the case we should not be having a polar vortex is or more to seas or whatever however you plural are sad yeah the vortex when we should have like is we dont have because here were not allowed to show that big for the wear in moscow if there is warm yeah brain cogitating thats a great clipping the must go lotion should look good you know moscow has become a tropical new yorks become in moscow and then its freezing up there its warm over there is part of this vortex in new age you mentioned flipping of course that is a term that has been used in the Cryptocurrency Community everybody is waiting for easter or a theory and the other currencies to overtake bitcoin over the christmas and new year holidays. Did as a share of the percentage of the overall cryptocurrency market fall to an all time low and that was on the news that a theory was working on the crypto rubel so this was one of the things that drove a theory im quite high crypto rule is coming and there will be a flipping but it will probably be rep all ripple of the end type it coy in its. Everything that point isnt its ripped all its the friend of jamie diamond coin its a friend of big business coin its centralization vs distance realization meanwhile over there in Russia Vladimir Putin and his team at the kremlin are thinking about taking the syrian block going to hard for it and doing the ruble calling is this important of course it is because theyre going to bypass sanctions and therefore all attempts by the centralization of the American Government and the u. S. Dollar is for naught if you get too much sun and little of it. Anyway so of course over the christmas break everybody purchased a lot of goods for gifts that they actually couldnt afford so these headlines do together and it tells an interesting story for twenty eighteen paying down christmas debt how long will it take this is from Michele Bachmann he provides this chart Consumer Credit outstanding going back to one thousand nine hundred sixty eight the red line on the bottom is the revolving credit like Credit Card Debt that hit a trillion dollars in the past year but the yellow line is non revolving debt which is things like Student Loans auto loans mortgages and you can see that a sword now the thing that he points out on this chart thats quite interesting is one nine hundred seventy one one hundred seventy one when nixon took us off the Gold Standard which allowed for a lot of the debt were going to go deeper into that with another chart he provides in a moment but what do you say about all those debt that americans have they added an average of one thousand and fifty four dollars in debt over christmas to be in debt is to express your true self and
