being revealed all it's once i think there's a danger by leaking information to the media that it could even lose its value evidence so. you should share all this evidence with international investigators when the un has the authority to carry out the investigation in addition with the investigation going on into. turkish authorities have stopped the murder was ordered by senior saudi officials and accused to salvage the charade of not cool breaking with their investigation the process has stalled the turks have said it is time for an international investigation. this was followed by the u.n. special reporter agnes colum our visit to turkey for a possible independent inquiry her initial statement back to turkish position but she says her request to get a copy of the crime scene investigation and an orgy recording of the killing have not been met alma in our legal system recordings can be counted as evidence only if

they are obtained by court order we don't know the source of the recordings though is it turkish intelligence or the police or some of the country's intelligence who passed it on to turkey i believe the stumble chief prosecutor will soon present an indictment what's important is whether this indictment will mention the crown prince or not if yes this may be followed by issuing a warrant for the suspects mom so now past the ship to murder remains unsolved despite the leaks of information and the efforts of legal and crime experts those seeking justice expect to move the case forward at stake is the country's judicial reputation seen em go solo. a stumble. or step ahead on al-jazeera they face criminal charges in the u.s. in the calendar how did these saudi students manage to escape from the country. he divided the country by nailing during the u.s. national anthem find out why he's decided not to have his day in court.

a group of texas land owners has filed the first lawsuit challenging the u.s. president's declaration of a national emergency donald trump made the announcement after approving a spending bill to avert another government shutdown. british arms exports to saudi arabia contravene international humanitarian law that's the conclusion of a u.k. parliamentary committee it says the justification for supplying weapons to the saudi u.a.e. coalition is floored turkey surprised and says the united states hasn't put its full weight behind the investigation into the murder of saudi journalist. roger tie a bow to the wire has urged washington not to set the matter aside in favor of its ties to riyadh. u.s. special counsel robert muller says donald trump's former campaign manager deserves up to twenty four years in prison for manifold was convicted in august on eight counts of bank and tax fraud he's been investigated as part of the probe and

russian meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential elections. those are your headlines the news continues here in odds are asked to talk to al-jazeera. arts. it's been forty years since the overthrow of the shah of iran which saw his government replaced with an islamic republic on talk to al-jazeera we speak to a former foreign minister ambassador to the united nations and

a leading voice on the principles of the islamic republic dr come out was also a military spokesman during the iran iraq war with a central role in iranian state media. as he is now chairman of iran's strategic council for foreign relations and the foreign policy adviser to the supreme leader ali khamenei so forty years on the revolution achieved its goals and how is iran overcoming the challenges of the u.s. withdrawal from the nuclear disarmament deal tougher sanctions and heightened military tensions in the region dr come on talks to al-jazeera. doctor an. adviser to iran's supreme leader on foreign policy and former minister of foreign affairs thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera. as iran marks forty years since the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution it also recently unveiled a ballistic missile now the u.s. has come out and said it will remain relentless in pressuring iran to deter its

missile program we know that relations with the united states are described by some at an all time low and the nuclear agreement of which the u.s. has pulled out of some are saying is hanging by a thread why would iran unveil a ballistic missile now there are many enemies and have all kinds of armaments including a force base was it just fighters. we had no choice but to give it all or the psychology to a different order but even the european union said earlier this month that it was gravely concerned by iran's ballistic missile launches and that iran continues to undertake efforts to increase the range on perception of its missiles together with increasing the number of tests and operational launches so even the europeans who are considered your allies and partners in this nuclear agreement are concerned about is no justification for that because according to resume lucian two three

through on designing misfired is for show or need to carry nuclear war. or prohibited but not other kinds of miss arias in terms of the range of disarms he decided to have up to two thousand kilometers so what you're saying is iran is not violating their nuclear agreement likely but when the e.u. says that it's actually calling in a statement it's calling upon iran to refrain from these activities that deepen mistrust and destabilize the region are you discounting that statement by the e.u. exactly shrewd what is the step and raising the region who is disability in the region those who are already here saying that iran is there and if that is what they claim but in fact those who have developed terrorist groups and have tried to topple done. existing governments don't depart these who have

disabilities the region we have tried to keep the status quo by fighting against terrorism in iraq and syria which were defeated by the help of your own and therefore iran has been established in fact they're not vs the police in fact you know european countries have to say that the wide or selling so much arms. and unite arab emirates and to eastern. why they are selling arms to do so contrary to iran hundreds of. i mean iran to develop its own armaments including technology but is the j c p o at risk of dissolving with these activities on behalf of iran is the pressure of americans on european countries to not do business with israel that is making just you a useless instrument while the europeans have said that the g c p

o eight can exist without the united states and now as you know they've come up with a concept called a special purpose vehicle to help facilitate trade with iran but is this special purpose vehicle ultimately going to fail in your opinion because washington is saying that if europe tries to go around us sanctions that have been recently imposed then they will be subject to fines and penalties that all depends on the decision of the european countries that if they want to show their independence against the pressures on americans or not so far unfortunately they have not been committed you know they were supposed to have normal relations with iran in terms of banker relations and to read business investment in your own but nothing has happened are iranian european relations at risk of unraveling specifically after recent accusations by the europeans that iran has been behind assassination attempts on european soil in twenty eighteen as you know that's according to the

dutch government for want as well as the french government these are accusations one has to look to you to do what they are or if they are any certain situation to that. some people have claimed that this is the case that. iran. is not doing anything against european security we got verse some good relation of it some european countries. but it is unfortunate that european countries have their own problems with the united states and mrs trump is putting a lot of pressure on european countries in fact united against the existence of european union is trying to space food be a step in lies the european union as an entity and therefore they have their own problems or do you and i see this face and if you sit with them and talk to them you can find that any individual country in european countries have problem beat

the policies of the united states so far iran has said that's it is willing to stay in the nuclear deal should iran stay in the deal in your opinion. yes we have decided to is. a stay in the deal but that may be you know who some enter it if we find that there is no benefit out of the deal you know we signed a deal to have benefits over time and benefits in terms of terms and business and a lot of relations you know not only did the trade in business have been developed between iran and european countries but there are mounting new pressures on the on the case of. i mean myside technology and the case of the presence of iran in the region. therefore all of this pressure. made leads to something to have cooperation on the. president trump said last

year that he's willing to hold talks with president rouhani without preconditions the iranian government up until this point has said that they won't do that but recently he said that negotiations would be possible with the u.s. if it repents would you advise your president to hold talks with president trump and would you advise the supreme leader who has the ultimate say on foreign policy issues and you know it will hurt him it's not the current situations because no one can trust the president of the united states so let's say there was a different president than would iran be willing to talk about would your advice be let's talk to the united states or you know there was a you know that is a hypothetical question and we have to wait and see who is going to win as the president of the united iss for the next year before everything should be trust

should be based on equal footing and equal rights and that's missing you know united is just putting pressure and they think that by pressurising iran they can achieve their goals and this is their mistake you don't has never needed to the pressure all true forty years of its life we did not submit to the pressures by you know saddam hussein and those who were supporting saddam missing we did not meet to the pressures of the united nations and others in terms of putting sanctions on iran and therefore that is their mistake it seems that americans have bee food by certain circles that if they put pressure on iran iran would stop me how would you describe u.s. iranian relations as they stand today its rewards is. there's no

relation and my city between iran and the united states door using all their instruments to put pressure on iran and even. mr john bolton. said that iran unit would not see there for two years and you are sorry this means that they are going to. change and change regime change and therefore ease off most animosity from the side of united states i can see it is there any way out of this impasse with the united states in your opinion he told what is the way forward if they have to change their policies they have to come up with a new policy unfortunately do not estates he's trying to match airlines financial perilous and if independence i'm paralysed him was dependent on arms and wars today

americans are dependent on point i'm sure instruments are putting pressures on everyone to put iran at the corner but it's not going to stop president rouhani as well as of his allies have really staked their credibility a lot of people would say on this nuclear agreement as well as the economic benefits it was supposed to bring to iran so domestically there's a lot to lose for the current government if the deal collapses or if iran pulls out of the nuclear agreement would that empower hardliners who oppose that from the starts there are a lot of persons on the government nationally because everyone was. expecting that nuclear deal would bring. trade and business to digital. and economic rules would be created but unfortunately by depression of americans it's not

happened and therefore their lot of persia's on cutting government and now even the supreme leader of iran acknowledged that the sanctions the recently imposed u.s. sanctions are pressuring iran so what do you say to the average iranian who is caught up in this. witness in this themself and they know that this war soft pressures of the or the united states but the economic problems that iran faces surely are not simply down to the u.s. pressures because last year we saw protests across cities and towns and tens of them in fact people were protesting over poor living standards that can't be simply down to the americans here death was because you know. inflation and. a change of. foreign currency but the i.m.f. is saying that at least one in four people in iran can't find work unemployment rate is at twelve percent does this all threaten the current leadership should it be worried. that these are the problems that we are facing you know but one has to

look to the dead what is the source of. problems to source of the problems is unjustified pressures on the united states as the country struggles economically dr iran is engaged as we know in conflicts around the middle east in iraq in syria as well as in yemen spending a lot of money billions in arms and financing as well as support many people saying why is iran spending this money abroad when there are so many economic problems at home it is the matter of iranian security. we rushed to the help of iraqis and syrians under their invitation because eventually our security was at this stage you know if the issue had succeeded to take over. damascus they were very close to iranian border and more than that to. india reach in and oppose those countries who have tried to get supplies to these

however countries accuse iran of destabilizing the region the u.s. even some of your neighbors in this region say that iran is so in discord and confusion around the middle east the e.u. in a statement this february expressed concern iran's role in growing middle east tensions including it says support for groups in syria and iran own forces in the country do you agree that iran is complicit in the chaos of these countries no because we have tried to keep the region as a tease to keep this that is cool to support the existing governments will never try to dear stabilities and to top it on the governments those are the parties have to be to have to be questioned but you were supporting a syrian government which the un accuses off war crimes and you are supporting the who think groups in yemen the un just saying that iran is financing who feeds through illegal shipments of fuel there are

a lot of talks on the conditions here and there at this have to be substantiated to reality is that we oppose intervention of others in any country in the region so the arab e.o. has intervened in yemen so they are has intervened in syria. and we can to let others who intervened has a run intervened in yemen and syria and do you at least agree that iran will come after you again if you complicit in the you know war interventions means that you go to other countries without invitation as americans how to have intervened in syria as the arab your house intervened and united i mean it's the saudi arabia that was then we went down by the yemeni government listening to yemen then the syrian government has asked you to come over and help them that is doesn't mean

intervention is supporting the status quo so it's quite different what is iran's endgame in syria we know that there are iranian advisors on the ground what is the endgame there. you are trying or vis according to us on his initiatives to have a new constitution and people of syria would decide based on the constitution that who would govern them that is ultimate game president trump recently said that he'd like to keep american troops in iraq to quote watch iran what is your reaction to that to have failed in syria in fact they are giving some excuse that the law you do are going to leave syria they have no choice but to leave and they would not have any choice to leave as well as they have no choice

but to leave afghanistan. because they have proven. their presence notching nothing they can achieve let me ask you about israel and the secretary of the iranian supreme national security council said recently that israel will receive a decisive response if it continues attacks in syria netanyahu recently said that israel won't let iran remain in syria how do you see those threats from israel is the possibility off a war between israel and iran on the table if they want to get kasia oriented around sort of iran would respond but they're not going to restore it more against any entity and you know that is their decision if they want to engage. that's what that would be something else last year the u.s. secretary of state he set out twelve demands for inclusion in any new nuclear treaty with iran among them according to secretary pompei was to end iran's

threatening behavior against its neighbors some of which are u.s. allies including israel and the poland u.s. summits and war so it's being described in unofficial circles at least as being an anti iran summit somewhat does this all put pressure on iran on the international arena nothing they can do against iran but i believe that one of their main cools he's against russia because it has been a long time that they do want to. bring in poland against russia. and therefore it's not only the matter of iran is the matter of the newest strategy of the united this these against iran against russia i guess in a different country you've described the polish government's hosting of this conference as a disgrace for the european identity and we know that iran has summoned poland stop

on boy cancel the polish film festival so this conference must bother iran somewhat for who has lost it as well as we are beyond that is a sign of a new my city if anything would. be kim against you know from this conference. you know do you know that let's look at the g.c.c. for a moment because countries like bahrain and saudi arabia the u.a.e. say iran interferes in other states affair is iran's relations specifically with the kingdom of saudi arabia and bahrain can be described as strained at best why do you think that is because on the policies of the so the government you know they have tried to develop their regime when you not only on. other countries and the dispute between cutter and. the arab e.o. and united for the same reason. they have to establish his yemeni policy and come

up feet for any country for news relations with the neighboring countries are their voice you know and there would be. severe situations in india which i'm speaking of the disputes the secretary of state my comp aoe said that the dispute the rift between qatar on one side and saudi behind egypt and the u.a.e. on the other side was threatening regional unity that's needed to counter iran does the g.c.c. blockade work in favor of iran. we are not happy that disputes are developing india. because that does not help put to security and development of peace in a region but this is a matter of fact that out of his human and policies of the b.n. and united out of a mere it's just dispute has been developed we are ready to talk to everyone in

duration even so they are below units there are mere is all other parties and we believe eventually that he's defining a solution for developing peace and security and duration outof intervention of foreign countries if you sit together and talk to show there for the benefit of the region i believe something with the come out of it dr haraszti you were foreign minister under a president mohammad khatami of course who was in a supported by a political faction known as the iranian reformists now his vision called for more freedom called for more democracy yet today iran is ranking one hundred sixty four out of one hundred eighty that's according to reporters without borders on the world press freedom index and there are twenty eighteen reports and they say that the state controls news it controls information it's been relentless in the past thirty nine years of its persecution of independent journalists media as well as arbitrary arrests you must be dismayed by all of this disarray teams are

politicized are not impartial but these are you saying that iran that has a free media you don't compare to many countries have free media you've gone compared to many countries around has been developing socially economically. for example guilds and ladies have. been going to universities have been taking to raise a sponsor but it is a new dawn and. some impartial body has to break ranking by dis organisations or totally politicised forty years on from the revolution do you think that the revolution has achieved its aims in your opinion we will lucian has achieved a lot of course the most important is to keep the

independence of the country and security of the country iran is the most secure place in decision iran has been developing economically socially in terms of social justice there though if you compare iran today it on before evolution you find it in many respects iran has been developing for example in terms of science and technology you know as one of the forerunners of science and technology to the region iran's number one in the region and number seventeen in the board in terms of the number of articles and citations and in terms of developing its defense needs iran has been able to develop all their needs by itself what we still find in iran

though is that a lot of the wealth of still concentrated in the hands of a few people and that the revolutionary guards for example have extensive business interests so that was one of the ends of the revolution has that been fulfilled has the wealth been redistributed evenly amongst the more elite saying that all the aims of iran of solution has been achieved but there has been created developments in iran in time the distribution of bills in terms of achieving lower developments in terms of. building dawns in terms of roads transportation and dame porton self that is that all of these have been happening with our support of foreigners it has been. based on say a free license by your resources that we have internally that is very important that you swore you don't is inspiring and many nations

i don't uls look to iran as an independent and as and as in dependent entity that beat out support of foreigners and even in the case of any musketry of others like it is iran in terms of sanctions iran has been able to do it all and therefore that is this source of inspiration and disorder of influence in the region if he or any are talking about influence of iran in the region you know that is not because we have intervened in other countries that is because we have been inspired let me finally ask you what is your hope for iran to have of good life to develop further to keep our independence and integrity and to be proud. that after forty years of be moving we have been trying to best or brightest with

a little boy or. technology and so that's sort of the. supreme leader on foreign policy and former foreign minister thank you for talking with the. counter because this week young and unemployed in africa first populous nation wide joblessness is such a huge problem in nigeria what shelving the a three eighty means for global travel a passion just like you and me plus a look inside goes to states counting the cost on al-jazeera. recruited. exploited to on the battlefield the call the new regime faced a different value in africa invited me to the opium. didn't. we should be ashamed. for the street for for all country all over to.
