well rob it is one of the first crux in opposition unity that has been. seeing us key to the success of the opposition forces walk currently negotiating with the military council for a ton to civilian rule saw that the is a huge figure in saddam's politics is a former prime minister the grandson of the foot on fighting hero. which you know who many sudanese people hail. one of their greatest leaders and said that all mad these words now go right against the grain of the. the opposition and the joint form that they were trying to show in the negotiations with the military council and if it extends beyond these it's going to

vindicate the military who have been saying that they could not handle the part and that is who will fight along the way so. for the protests still going on with the protesters say they're not going to leave the square in a time soon. these no letup in porto since done public anger against the transitional military council is in no way cooling down even as a focused on local impasse between the military council and put those leaders continue to protest and say they have more confidence in their actions than any other process but it also got the you know the revolution out here that's why we are pushing no faith in the indian cricket not discriminate against anyone that we will win the wolf from right here on. these a festive mood here families have come hoping to be part of history all sting the

military council is exhausting work for some. have been coming out. here paul weeks they're angry and timing. and they're almost endless chanting the military council does it it got it as close as that is former president bush mcghee said i skated had them seen the military have ruled us for all these years and we have nothing to show for it except in justice that a civilian government is what we urgently. this people are the ones before place that they want to help remove from our present moment i don't know but they say the long process we're told from. the silence nothing they find will hold them back a deadline issued by the military for the removal of body kits from roads bridges and roadways. but is head over to moving them the protesters reinforce the buddy kate's home ahead of them the tsunami hit with i mean we will never remove the

barricades because they're here for our security checkpoints we have not people with weapons and drugs wishing to cause people harm we can't take chances. the daily demonstrations in the square help all for the much needed in the bridge to paul to talk with a message that is why saddam's younger evolution of his thinking of and link them so. mohammed as we've seen in many cases like this the longer there is this stalemates the greater the frustration on both sides have the protesters given any indication about what action they're going to take if things things don't move. what is these for assertion all over from their leadership to the protesters themselves but this saying that leaving that square outside the military headquarters where they've been come forward with this is not an option for them because that would leave that evolution of the call it half done and they say that

will spell the death of saddam they have they're quoting is this is in the past like in one thousand nine hundred forty one nine hundred eighty five when they were lucian's like these happened and then the military has. control once again and this saying they cannot have now so they're going full throttle they will stay there until they get what they want which is a quick transfer to civilian rule mama thanks very much indeed. syrian government forces and their russian and eyes have pounded the rebel held northwest of the country with more airstrikes at least twenty two people have died after an escalation of violence in hama provinces they had lived is the last rebel held province in syria and borders and turkey russia and turkey negotiated a cease fire in september which has so far a very full government offensive box has mostly held by the.

together with our allies and partners we reached a historic understanding with iran which a fully implemented will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon and make our country our allies and our world safe and the signatories of a joint comprehensive plan of action so it as an opportunity ideally underage iran agreed to eliminate its stockpile of enriched uranium and reduce centrifuges in return all u.n. security council and multilateral sanctions were lifted. but not everyone was happy this deal would give an unreformed unrepentant and far richer terrorist regime the capacity to produce many nuclear bombs in fact an entire nuclear arsenal with the means to deliver. what a stunning historic mistake the campaign against the so-called iran nuclear deal succeeded when donald trump moved into the white house i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal iran

insists it will remain in the nuclear deal and so did other signatories such as france germany and britain. the white house's classification of iran's revolutionary guards as terrorists there has responded with labeling u.s. troops in the middle east as terrorists but under unilateral u.s. sanctions iran's economy is struggling its influence in the region from syria to yemen is under the spotlight so how will iran cope with the crisis affecting everyone in the country the iranian foreign minister mohammad javad zarif talks to out of there. let's begin with the latest legislation that has come out. about declaring u.s. forces in the middle east as terrorists describe to us why do you think that is important and what will that achieve. well it's not a measure that we have taken their proximity in fact it was a reaction to a decision by united states why did ministration to declare. the

i.r.g.c. to stomach evolutionary god corpse as a terrorist organization as you know destroy organization has been in the forefront of fighting terrorism in iraq and in syria enough on the stand but unfortunately because of their own interest and because of the fact that a few in our region and and in the united states want to stick it up trouble in this region as you know with netanyahu said in hebrew tweet that this was on his suggestion that president trump put the o g c on the f t o list so this was a decision by the united states and united in parliament and before that iran's national security council simply took a measure in response to this action i ask you this question because so far what

you have been telling the world is that iran is not looking for confrontation iran does not want to escalate tensions but would measures like this do you think that is coming from a nation which wants to deescalate but certainly iran does not want confrontation and escalation but we have not lived seven thousand years by escaping from those who want to bully us we have been very clear that we have no interest in escalation we have been clear that persian gulf and the strait to hold most is our lifeline we depend on them for our likelihood and we want them safe secure and free for navigation of all countries including iran but that also comes when some of the generals have made remarks saying that if iranian oil doesn't pass through the strait of hormuz no one else is well it's up to the united states to make that decision whether it wants to make a. part of

a that is on our doorsteps unsafe for us we were not allowed to have on may the second the sanctions waiver that the united states had given to oil importing countries or doing business in iran is explaining the strait of hormuz is going to be a point of contention what is your plan then we believe that the united states cannot take any coercive measure in the persian gulf or in the strait of hormuz if it tries to take course of measures it will be reciprocated by iran but that i don't think is in the cards we will continue to sell our oil. and we will see customers and we will always remember those who worked with us during times of difficult year all production has come down from in two thousand seven hundred to two and a half million barrels to somewhere between one point seed one point nine million barrels now and it is having an impact on the iranian economy so eighty percent of

your exports are from hydrocarbons the sanctions you can call them illegal but are having an impact on iran and that is why we call it economic terrorism because as they have said publicly including secretary pompei. and others they want to put pressure on the iranian people in order to change a policy that is very the united states has acted for forty years and particularly since president from came to office it was elated a commitment by another us president president obama and international relations you consider a government continue ation of the previous government last i heard there was no revolution in the united states people just got the electoral college. pointers presidents from the elected president of the united states so that's all that that's all that happened in the united states what is import. and is that these

sanctions are not only equal and have no legal effect not no economic effect but they also won't have any political effect the success or failure of these sanctions is going to be who buy their on the oil so we are talking about countries such as china turkey and india who are your major oil importers are they going to continue to buy a new normal two points first world these countries have declared that they do not recognize u.s. sanctions for. their private companies may because of u.s. corage and because of their heavy hand that the united states is exercising on these issues may find it just prudent for themselves in the short term and i don't think it's prudent for anybody in the medium and long term to decrease but that doesn't mean that the government's agree and the governments have announced that they do not recognize what is your plan how are you going to make sure that the

people of iran don't feel the crunch that the united states wants to well first of all we will continue to engage with our partners we have developed various schemes one of them will be in the long run. to the detriment of the united states and i think that is becoming increasingly popular and that is not to use dollars for your transactions a second is an instrument that we are developing with the europeans. we have already developed with our neighbors and we have developed them with the chinese and that is not to engage in transfer of money across the borders which is where the united states would step in and try and for will try to twist the arms of people who are engaged in it eagerly and on lawfully i believe the united states is not serving us interests more than the united states it is serving israeli

interests and unfortunately there are a couple of people in our region who have aligned themselves with this really interest so this is a capital of a small group which i have called them to be team both on bibi netanyahu bin ziad and bin sound man who are pushing. the united states and president trump into conflict and into disastrous situations and they will be deferred just to suffer the consequences unfortunately what do you mean they will be the first to suffer the consequences and does that mean that iran is going to retaliate it does that mean there's going to more instability in the region stability in this region is why you thought for us we want to have good relations with all our neighbors with everybody in the g.c.c. we have proved it through our assistance to qatar when qatar was being

strangulated by some of the members of the b. team and we will stand by our friends in the region and we have stood by turkey when they were under a quid if we stood by iraqi kurdistan where they were being faced with a dicey attack we will always stand for stability and history we love nothing more than having excellent relations with saudi arabia united arab emirates and every other member. of the g.c.c. this is our hope our expectation but there are requirements we need to end this bloodshed in yemen before we go into the region let's talk about. what you've described so far it seems to feel that iran is the victim here but there is a consensus amongst many countries in the region and in the united states that iran

is responsible for what is happening in the united states insists that it is the nuclear deal which favored iran your neighbors insist that it is meddling in internal affairs of other countries that the ditch they make and the basis for imposing these sanctions and coming out against iran do you not think that there is any credence to those claims first of all there is no consensus to consensus in the international community is that the united states and those neighbors at you talked about are in fact meddling in the affairs of others look at what's happening in north africa look at what's happening to him elsewhere so it's not a any consensus but that is exactly the problem a couple of countries in our region plus israel did not like the nuclear deal from the very beginning the rest of the international community believe that it is a unique historic achievement for diplomacy of course if you had other intentions

if you wanted to securitize iran if you wanted to portray iran as a threat which it wasn't then that would have been different and you did not like the nuclear deal and some in our region where of that nature but well just look at the history who supported saddam hussein who when it invaded iraq who supported the taliban when they took over of one stone. who supported it or who supported isis who supported nasir who is now interfering in libya who is now interfering in the sudan just look at the realities on the ground is it iran it was iran who killed who tried to suffocate qatar who tried to wage a coup in turkey who dismembered a journalist who behead that seven individuals and crucified one of them in.
