1:26 am
he's the one that should be the president of america. maybe good for his own people but not for us as you do think. it's better not to say anything about his personality everyone knows how. everybody will take a loss. when iran's leaders signed the nuclear deal they said it was the thing to fix everyone's financial problems three years later with american promises of more sanctions than ever before the best that people here can hope for is that iran can manage to sell enough oil to survive until donald trump has left the white house. protesters have rallied in india's capital demanding justice for the families of those killed during the one nine hundred eighty four and t c gras it's around three thousand people were killed in retaliation for the assassination of the prime minister at the time indira gandhi she was killed by her sikh bodyguards who were
