more for you in the next hour. as we've been reporting, the british iranian woman, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe — who was held for nearly six years in detention in iran — has been speaking for the first time since her return to the uk last week. she's told journalists that her release should have happened six years ago. let's hear more of what she had to say at a press event in westminster. i cannot be happier, a lot happier than this, that i'm here, but also, like i said, this should have happened six years ago. so i think that answers your question — that i always felt like i am holding this black hole in my heart all this years, but i'm just going to leave that black hole in my heart. i'm going to leave that black hole on the plane when the plane lands. i'm not going to live for the rest of my life with a grudge over the past six years.
1:39 pm
it has been cruel what happened to me, but i think i will... i do not want to kind of, um, this moment is so glorious for me, so i don't want to, and it's kind of early days that i have come back. so i think it's a bit early to think that, you know, to hold onto that grudge, but it should have happened six years ago. i mean, it took a long, very, very long time for the politicians to sort it out. i was the lucky one who, regarding your the second part of your question, i was the lucky one who got to be recognised internationally, given the campaign which was running. but there are so many other people in prison that you don't know their names and they have been in prison for longer years that i have been. so i think regarding the...
1:40 pm
every person has got the right to be free and freedom is something which has to be given to people. and i think the world should unite together to make sure that there is no one held either hostage or in prison for something they haven't done. i'll come to you next. thank you. mic, please. carl dinnen, itv news. nazanin, first of all, i hope you understand just how delighted everyone in this country is to see you back. our hearts have gone out to your family all the way through this, and it's wonderful to see you sitting here. perhaps you could just tell us how much you were aware of when you were being held or what was going on in the outside world and the efforts to get you out. and perhaps also the setbacks. you talked about five foreign secretaries over six years. of course, one of the foreign
1:41 pm
secretaries who dealt
1:42 pm

1:43 pm
in a mother's day card to ten downing street to try and get your freedom. looking forward to this sunday, first mother's day for six years. you get to spend it together. what are you going to do? and how special a moment is that going to be? i didn't know that sunday's mother's day. i don't even see anything. richard, the only thing i knew was yesterday was the persian new year. and the only thing that i did was sitting. we just quickly put the table together and with the people that were with. we just sat down and i just talked to my family and ijust enjoyed the moment. so we'll see how it goes. i'll do row by row if that's ok. welcome back and amazing to see you here. can i ask how you felt as you walked down the steps of that plane at brize norton? is it too early to say what the future now holds? is that anything you want to say about the difficult times you spent injail? and most importantly, how are you?
1:44 pm
it's very early to think what is going to happen next. that moment was precious. i have been waiting for that moment for such a long time, and i was overwhelmed specifically to get to know gabriella and richard after such a long time. it was a very, very emotional moment. but i don't know. we will see what happens, i think is too early for me to to think about that. i'm just enjoying the moment with them. thank you. natasha phillips. welcome home, nazanin. nowruz mubarak. roxanne, i'm really sorry to hear about your father's case. my question is either for tulip or richard. once you receive a response from tom tugendhat, will you be considering a judicial review? shall i take that one? no, is probably the short answer. you know, obviously at points,
1:45 pm
we've been angry and you know, four of us will know that. we said it fairly bluntly. i mean, behind closed doors, when we were in in seclusion, when we were in seclusion, we were talking about it is useful to review what happened and what we can learn from it. i think the suggestion of a foreign affairs committee review inquiry is a really good one. i think there are specific issues in our case, but there's a wider issue about how the government deals with hostage taking, how it can do it better. it's not easy. the foreign office has a challenging job. iran is tricksy, and everything that's happened to roxanne's dad in the past 48 hours demonstrates that i think it would be really in the past 48 hours demonstrates that. i think it would be really valuable for parliament to take up that challenge and to talk it through. i think that's best done through parliament rather than sort of angry lawyers and, you know, everyone having to sort of cover themselves.
1:46 pm
but i mean, as nazanin said, it's early days, i don't think. yeah, ifeel i am retiring from campaigning rather than going into a let's lobby. than going into a let's lobby the foreign affairs committee kind of a stage, but i think i think it's i think there's an an important point there. we can hear more now from president zelensky of ukraine. he's said that what's happening in the beseiged town of mariupol is a war crime. we must warn you, there's a very loud siren at the beginning of this his latest address this morning translation: friends. now, please do not be afraid. you will hear what we live with for already 25 days. the sounds that became familiar to every ukraine city. siren wails
1:47 pm
translation: that was 20 seconds. and we hear this sound for hours, for days, for weeks. our people hear this all the time and immediately they grab their children. they help the elderly, they go to shelters. they go to basements to save themselves, to survive from russian missiles, air bombs. so these sirens, something that ukrainians live with, work with, trying to sleep, treating the wounded, having babies, dying. thousands of our people died in this cruel war of russia against our state, against ukraine. i ask you to have a minute
1:48 pm
of silence in the memory of everyone who died for ukraine and ourfreedom. thank you. before the war, our capital kyiv was called new berlin, comparing our and yours�* openness, emotions and freedom in the squares, people's journeys, clubs and parties. now kyiv is closed and quiet. we are awaiting the new siren. the new air raid that will force people to go to shelters. now we cannot get together in the same way as you have got together. we cannot live as you can. we are at war for our survival, to save ourselves against one
1:49 pm
of the largest armies in the world, against missiles, bombs, artillery,
1:50 pm
1:51 pm
europe has strength. very powerful strength, better than missiles, stronger than tanks. because without you, without your companies and the banks, russia won't have money to bankroll this war. so we wish for peace as soon as possible, and you can do that. you have to defend yourself. no one has the right to destroy people and to cut up europe. we have warned your politicians that that was not safe when moscow will decide whether you have gas or not and how much the gas will cost. we told you that sanctions are necessary to avoid this war. and when russian missiles hit 20 kilometres away from the nato borders, russian tanks were shelling our nuclear power station and everyone finally understood. it became clear that yes, ukraine needs to be listened to. ukraine needs to be supported because your lives also depend on that. do not sponsor.
1:52 pm
please do not sponsor the war machines of that country of russia. not a single euro for the invaders. close all your ports to them. do not supply goods. refuse russian energy providers. put pressure for russia to leave ukraine. i believe, i know, that peace is possible, but you have to act to achieve the peace. each and every one in europe. in germany, for kyiv to be called new berlin again for our streets for our streets and our squares would also be as safe as yours. for us to hear laughter and see children smiles, for children to play, not in shelters. and for all of us to forget about the air raid sirens, as you remember about that.
1:53 pm
