i. see an iran festival doesn't take place at regular intervals it's normally held in spring and autumn but sometimes it's not held at all anyone who participates i'm told gets a television or a fridge as a reward the mass event is meant to commit the people to the political goals of the regime through the unmistakable imagery. that. i. have attended the iran festival four times now but this time i saw something strange people suddenly left the stage while oversea is trying to stop them there was a large military presence around the stage that's why i wasn't able to film for long

my mind is one to be to focus on the show is that a form of resistance. maybe there really are people in north korea who don't want to accept a third member of the kim family is their leader. i i. i. i. something else historic happens during my last visit the controversial slovenian rock bands line back was the first western music and to give a concert in pyongyang. but i think what our thoughts are here in. the young shows is that. both sides have been willing to work with something which

is really hard but both sides need to stretch to the outermost limit. to make this project and that is what for real and true cultural exchange where both sides come together and sacrifice something for the coming weeks or. so after mickey mouse western music has also reached north korea even the lyrics which translated into korean as can be seen at the top level concert which you saw. would not have been possible without. the three or four big cultural collaboration projects that came before it. broke. the.

music is a language without works which is just possible to understand in many different in many different ways. and this is the magic which you don't you cannot have no. users description for me. but for the first time understood. so there is one me you know nothing of the chancellor worth. to. you know what you want to so.

much at the moment. nothing's going to change my world is the perfect sentence for a country that has kept every kind of western music away from its people. it's not uncommon for people caught when south korean films will cease to end up in a concentration camp. up until now western music could only

be heard in a few karaoke bars for foreigners that there will lie back go down in history in the way bruce springsteen did in east germany. will see. to. me the north korean people are cheerful and optimistic at least that's what the people i met showed me. oh. i think the north koreans know that nothing lasts forever. live. there are people that wants to live in peace but because of mistakes made during the cold. they're forced to live in a permanent state of war. i. hope.

just. to. stop them i found a convert pete often enough that i feel happy on the north koreans i've been able to make friends the trips of recent years have told me that blanket condemnation and generalizations serve no purpose. either in europe or in north korea a country i still know very little about. our . own. land.

last. known these characters have not stumbled out of a computer game into our reality. their art works fine young time congressman from

a cyborg. at the end of the day these technologies can be used against us what do you think will happen society does the human race really need to upgrade i think it's only the beginning of this cycle for human machines starting february first. this is t w news coming to you live from berlin the european union presents a united front in dealing with your read on iran's foreign ministers meeting e.u. leaders in an attempt to bolster the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal tehran

says it will no longer cooperate with the terms of the agreement if washington three imposes oil sanctions we'll go live to brussels also coming up on the conservatives have until the end of today to strike a deal with the social democrats for germany could face new elections the most divisive issues still lie ahead and time is running a. violent protests spread across tunisia as anger over price hikes spill into the streets one person has died and more than two hundred people have been arrested as authorities crackdown on demonstrators. also coming up searching for survivors in southern california more than a dozen people are still missing after mudslides devastated communities already hit by. wildfires at least seventeen people are confirmed dead and scores of homes flattened by mud and debris.

hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us threatens foreign minister mohammad javad zarif is meeting with his e.u. counterparts in brussels today it's a show of unity for the twenty fifteen agreement aimed at ending iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons ministers from germany france britain and the e.u. foreign affairs chief frederica motor rini are expected to voice their support for the deal one day ahead of a key sanctions decision by washington the deal is under threat as u.s. president donald trump will decide on friday whether to reimpose oil sanctions on tehran iran has issued a stark warning to washington vowing to reduce its compliance with the u.n. nuclear watchdog should trump decide not to renew the sanctions waiver. if america fails to meet its commitments and does not sign the sanctions waiver we

consider it a violation of the nuclear deal. under such circumstances the islamic republic has its own actions to take. if there is a lack of commitment from the american side they should not expect iran to have the same level of cooperation it has had with the international atomic energy organization over the past two years. oh let's get the latest on those talks taking place today in brussels between e.u. and iran max hoffman joins us from brussels it's feared max that president trump might pull the plug on the iranian nuclear deal if he does what can the europeans and the iranians do to salvage it. and the europeans are very anxious about that as well that's why the main message coming out of this meeting today is will be a clear we think this is extremely important this whole nuclear deal the german foreign minister. even said this was one of the central pillars of european

security and it was also something that managed the contained even more crisis or another crisis in the middle east but you have to be clear about that if the the americans no longer are part of that deal it's very hard to convince iran to continue complying with that deal if one of the main part is if not the most important partner aside from iran just quits that deal and by the way the europeans are not the only ones who think this deal is very important the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov had this to say about it. will continue to defend the viability of this program and its major importance in securing regional stability and solving the issues of nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction ok. giving russia's position the russian you seem to be pretty much on the same page there but the e.u. russia they disagree with the trumpet ministration on the nuclear deal or are there

other issues at play right now in iran and max that could effect this is there any call in ground between brussels and washington on iran policy. there's more than you might expect there to be given the current well atmosphere between washington and brussels and the different member states of the european union for example regarding the role that iran is playing in the region proxy war against saudi arabia just talk about gammon talk about syria also the ballistic missile test that iran apparently is conducting at the moment those are things that the european union doesn't like just like the americans the difference here is that the europeans and talk to the germans yesterday again see this is a separate issue meaning that the nuclear deal shouldn't be mixed up with these other things that the americans say exactly the opposite they say we need to use the nuclear deal we have to increase leverage for the other issues that we have with iran and that's the main difference ok talking the other issues with foreign

minister zarif visiting europe right at the same time iran has been witnessing a swell of anti-government protests will those protests be discussed at the talks today do you think well we we already talked about the role that iran is playing in the region and now there seems to be major destabilization in iran itself of course that's something they can't ignore but coming back to the nuclear deal regarding this that's why the europeans say we need to keep that deal because it's one of the very few means to give us some leverage over iran something where we can pressure them say listen if you want to keep the deal then you need to do this for example regarding civil liberties in iran just to give you an example and the french president in one of a mccall said as much a past week and he said if we really do scrap that deal or if the americans do it it will only strengthen the extremists in iraq myself in brussels thank you so much . so you look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world today
