correspondent based in tehran thank you for joining us and welcome to the program we've heard that hundreds of thousands of mourners are gathered in comb we're about to see live images in fact of that are you surprised by the size of the crowds. not really honestly because this situation is very similar to what happened back in 2002 if i remember correctly after president george w. bush's speech that branded iran as a part of the axis of evil and in the 22nd of batman parade there was surprisingly a little bit after that in terms of time saying because the enthusiasm was seen by the people of iran and that is because of one the bronze take it as a whole iran as a whole is threatened or if we actually consider right now to inspire present trum

that has threatened to hit iran's culture so i don't get a sense of how people are feeling about all this that people feel an icon a symbol of the country has been attacked and art is an issue that is in fact has united some are all of your hands people around the slack so that is not particularly surprising and as i talk to protests there is today as i was on the talk to the demonstrators today at people who turned up for the. funeral saying wrong a lot of people were really calling generals for money as their shiro they were saying that he is like and somehow to she rose in the ancient mania epics of people in charlotte people who defended iran or its ballers so it's not something that people would be divided over. and in the meantime we know that the country itself that iran has vowed revenge what kind of revenge could we be looking at here.

just today we had an interesting laura marclay one of. our revolutionary lord's command here is the irresponsible minder exactly to say that and i paraphrase that . june trump or in and chilling get the secretary of defense of the u.s. will not be prices last trace the actual prize will be for the u.s. to withdraw from the region and so i think the revenge as we've seen as we've heard in recent remarks about iranian decisions makers is mostly that the u.s. will withdraw from the region not necessarily a military conflict or not necessarily a tit for tat or exactly proportionate response that would be an attack on someone else or similar rock so i don't think we exactly get the sentiment here that they do want to escalate this into a military conflict and i think the situation as it is going to if the u.s.

does will draw from iraq as a starter on the eve that will be when the last for iran. how does a little bit more about you know the enrichment aspect of this because trump has just tweeted that iran will never have a nuclear weapon and walk us through how tehran has ever sponsoring to that. well i don't think the exact response right now was needed so even this not considering the legal response which is against having nuclear weapons if you believe that was you do not believe that that is out there but the same is that iran has always said that is not seeking a nuclear weapon and its program has not been geared since that is no way as based on this technical aspects ever to produce a nuclear weapon or right now the situation with its nuclear slippers and from oh well that is a still not an exit from j.c.

people say that it is simply. getting rid of the limitation on the operational capacity as they are saying themselves so they disagree still there and this ifs that that a lot of people actually were causing to be a lot harsher to be a lot more severe than strange and also among his assassination is was actually pretty new to it you could say and a very shrewd response to the situation because it was a lousy iran to. actually develop pressure on the europe to continue its commitments to actually get back on this committee of commitments rewarding did you see graves at a sinking 30 loss the 20. 2 month limitations it was for. so i don't think that is really want you likely units. and there have asked a.f.p. correspondent in tehran thank you. let's get

a night of upsets with several surprise winner of taking home the evening's most coveted prizes. the red carpet lit up with smiling celebrities and flashing cameras as the stars of hollywood gathered for the golden globes award ceremony it's the 1st big red carpet event of 2020. the surprise when it was directed mentees film $917.00 which won best drama favorites marriage story and joker. quentin tarantino's film once upon a time in hollywood was nominated in 5 categories and the winner of best comedy film could get the coca-cola t.v. comedy quick hit series fleabag scooped top prize while the show's triple talent writer producer and actress phoebe wall of bridge took on the award for best comedy series for what you believe is we were. going to make you know too many people ruined my life with. tom hanks one eyed lifetime achievement award for his decades

of roles in many well love films. thank you many recipients also used the stage to call attention to care and if intent political issues like gender equality climate change and the bushfires in australia stay together hopefully we can be unified and actually make some changes it's great to vote but sometimes we have to take that responsibility on ourselves we don't have to take private jets to palm springs for the words sometimes we're back with these. on the not so many use the platform to give voice to global concerns ricky gervais's used his to us colleagues to done that to a strivings affected by the fires thank you. let's bring in now scott roxboro from d.w. cultured to talk more about the golden globes we have to start 1st it's got a lot talking about the stars really using many of their speeches to get political how significant was this at the golden globes. yeah pretty significant i'd say i

mean particularly because the host ricky gervais's tried to get them to avoid politics in their speeches just before he opened the ceremony he said keep it short and don't talk politics basically telling the potential winners that no one was really interested in their views celebrities they ignored him and even turned into a very political event is mentioned climate change and the bushfires in australia were one of the topics mentioned by a number of the winners russell crowe who accepted one of his awards in abstinence he mentioned the bush fires and mentioned climate change as a direct cause of the fires walking phoenix as we heard brought up the issue as well but one of i think one of those moving political speeches came from michelle williams who won one of the best actress authors and she talked about needing more support for a woman's right to an abortion which

a lot of people think is under threat now in the united states i thought was a very powerful and moving speech but i think all these political speeches at the globes show that hollywood thinks at this very politically distraught time that they really need to take a stand have their voices heard and they use a platform of the globes this awards platform not just to celebrate themselves but to really have their these issues put front and center ok meantime another big question is how do you do with netflix is it taking over the big screen scott or are we seeing the film are all the pushback here. well it definitely didn't take over the globes i mean netflix going into this this was supposed to be their big night they had 34 nominations across film and t.v. really led the pack but only came away with 2 golden globes at the end of day for 2 minor categories i think this could possibly appear pushback in the film industry is very upset with netflix because they're disrupting their business model because netflix doesn't give their movies

a sort of proper theatrical release which is of the basis of the film industries business but this awards ceremony shows that it's not really working out the way netflix had hoped i not sure if this will reflect again on the oscars next month that they'll be further pushed back but i think it does show that netflix is having a trouble getting sort of awards credibility for some of their really great movies in a marriage story an irishman for me were to the best movies last year but somehow they didn't have quite the same half as the sort of big epic cinema releases 1017 once upon a time in hollywood which which one of the golden globes last night these were films big studio films given a big proper theatrical studio release and somehow that carried more weight than netflix very deep marketing pockets the ws got rock star as ever thank you scott. you're watching if you give you news coming up and do you have your news asia a momma's house on a university in delhi leaves india and shop with the finger of blame being pointed
