1964, 1985 there were popular revolution that his led to the presents being ousted s that what we might be lining a lookie on is this on a different scale, do you think? i think it's still too early to say exactly where the protests are leading to. that's clear is the number of people. already this morning in the last few minutes we have a report that another four protesters have been killed here. it seems one of the funerals of someone killed yesterday. so there is a momentum. again the number of people being killed might lead to people being too scared to take to the streets. it's not clear now which way things are going, but at the moment. it does seem there are momentum for them increasing. >> harriet, thanks so much from

that live update there. 92 children and two women have -- i beg your pou pardon, e could be talking about greece. police in greece have arrested the secretary general of the golden dawn party. and another lawmaker were taken in custody on charges of belong to go a criminal organization. we'll bring you more on that story a little later in the bulletin. first, though, the presidents of the united states and iran have spoken to each other for the first time in more than three decades. barack obama called the iranian president. here is more. >> reporter: this was the moment the offense-angry relationship between iran and the u.s. moved on. the u.s. president on the phone with his iranian counterpart. the first top-level contact between the two countries in more than 30 years.

president hassan rouhani broke the news of the conversation on social media website twitter posting in yards to the nuke or litsch you with political will, there is a way to rapidly solve the master. we are hopeful about what we will see from p5 plus one and your government in particular in coming weeks and months. i express my gratitude foo our hospitality and your phone call. have a good day, mr. president. from the white house, a show of respect for a ran an iran and tn people. >> i believe that we have a responsibility to pursue diplomacy and we have a unique opportunity to make progress with the new leadership in teheran, i also communicated to president rouhani my deep respect for the iranian people. >> reporter: for his part aircraft sign from the iranian president things are changing. >> hearing mr. obama, the president of the united states, he sounded different compared to the past. i view that has a positive step. >> reporter: the residential call came-this historic meeting

which brauts iran's foreign minister and the u.s. secretary of state together. last time any two leaders of the two countries spoke was in 1979. jimmy carter was in the white house, the shaw was ruling iran. things between the two nations have been difficult and strained for decades, however there is a feeling that improved relations between the two could help unlock a number of international issues, most notably, bringing the syrian leadership to a new peace conference in geneva. the new iranian president has been described as a moderate, his actions over the last week suggest that there is a new attitude in teheran and that's g a new attitude in its dealings with a nation once reviled as the great satan, roslyn jordan, al jazerra, washington. >> live for us in teheran. so how is iran react this is morning? >> reporter: well, most lines are quite positive out of the president this morning regarding this phone call between the u.s.

president and the iranian president. now the first headline also today is from newspaper reformist leaning newspaper obama's call at the 90th minute. of course it has john he john kd the foreign minister with football terms obama leaving it to the last minute to call president rouhani. another leftist or left leaning newspaper. historic phone call on the return flight. refer to go rouhani on whiz way back to the airport. and the world surprised basically sums up the feeling in from lot of sector of the iranian public and the world about this conversation between the united states and iran which many even six months ago thought was absolutely impossible so a lot of positive signs here from iran, of course from the hard line sectors and the hard line newspapers, not such optimism. because they don't think the u.s. can be trusted. they don't think rouhani should

be speaking to the u.s. so there is a couple of different opinions coming out of try iran, but mostly positive. >> different those groups that he has to deal w how has rouhani been handling expectations from the different groups in iran? >> reporter: well, it's a very interesting question. difficult question in fact. because hassan rouhani has this very dig tack. he has a mandate of the iranian people given that he was elected by the majority in june of this year, june 14 in facts. and he has the majority and part of his campaigning was the willingness to act. he wanted better relations with the west and with the united states. given that he got that mandate from the people that's what the most iranians actually want. but there is that hartline sector that i just mentioned who don't want america and iran to come to any kind of agreement they don't want to put this 35 years of history behind them. so he has to walk a very fine

line not just betwee here in irn between the two sectors, he didn't meet president obama face-to-face, he had the opportunity and didn't. and that cakes the fine line he's to walk, and appeasing the international community, doing just enough to satisfy the international community, but also the iranian voters here in iran. >> okay, thank you very much indeed. turn to go greece now and the arrest in the past hour of the head of the far right golden dawn party rei. let's join john now on the phone, give us the significance of this arrest it's been a long time coming. the past week has been spent looking in to the details of the killing of a hip hop artist in a suburb on the 18th of september by a man who says he was a member of golden dawn, golden dawn has disowned him,

but that didn't stop police from looking in to his connections to the party. the arrest of the general secretary and one of the deputy, is supposed to be in this operation, a series of other arrest is his expected, police say but they are in process. it doesn't indicate how long those arrests will take. but the warrants were put in to effect this morning. presumably that operation is now ongoing. i think that the indication here of these arrests is that the police work of linking of killing of the hip hop artist to the higher echelons of the party has now been completed. on the level of evidence that can be presented in court. and therefore the police feel confident enough in proceeding with these arrests. the charge is participation in a criminal organization. which is the charge the police have been work to go prove all this time. >> okay, john, thank you very much for bringing the latest live from athens.

takes place. however, people are very concerned about insuring that the vote is free, it fair, and is transparent. and if there is a whiff of manipulation of the vote or wrongdoing, it is expected that we could potentially, and it's potential to see some kinds of protests, at least by the opposition who fear that they may not get many of the 114 seats over the next few days. but it's like i say, too early to tell at this stage. because polling stations have just opened. >> okay, thank you for that there in given-y, thank you very mucguinea, thank you verymuch i. a 3-week stands off in the fill fines is over accord to this defense chief it began in early september. the rebels who are fighting for an independent state plan today hoist their flag at the city hall. it took nearly 200 people hostage before the army moved in. 100,00100,000 resident of the cy have been displaced by the
