well acceptance is. america's one good thing by bombardment selective targets. is better to money. rather than to advance aggression but mr larijani what i'm asking you about is not so much about the american actions but about what actions should russia take in response to this potential act of aggression you mentioned that you believe and i think again this assessment is shared by many in moscow that the american strategy in syria has failed but an argument could be made that that would make the united states even more predisposed to desperate actions or. actions that could attract the attention of the world because i think we would both agree that donald trump has a propensity towards showing off so if indeed he proceeds to be delivering and not a strike on syria how do you think russia should respond why. none of us knew iran or russia they have interest in expanding the military conflict i was

very determined is supporting the russian people and the russian government to defend their land the russian position especially has been warded by president putin is very acceptable and russian all they say that to definitely they won't tolerate any threat to the years russian presence in this syria i think this is quite rational position america should not gamble on that they should not under under the skin of the there's a result in defense of his personality and this is the artistic presence but anyhow what is the mental is not some selective strikes what is the mental determination of the people and those who are on the ground fighting to liberate syria from the very minute some physical part of the terrorist group supported

created lead armed by the americans and british and others well mr larijani we have to take a short break now but we will be back in just a few moments stay tuned. it's . late for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out so. the ball isn't on. if i want happens on the beach pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each of killian erroneous and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on a because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well more transfer. and thinks this minute.

well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the small boat states you don't harp on ships and it's. not something to. the limo selves to make cold fish already ninety percent of the dots need to fall on the comet or at. least contemplate fifteen scoops of seventy five tons it's really not they do it several times a day with the big fleets now are you get an idea on why the ocean is. we have to understand we could not stay still and just. be witness of the

deal going to the arms. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. a. global war hawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. keep the new socks for the tell you that it's not because of the public but files of the most important news today. off of advertising telling you are not cool enough and let's not fight their products. all the hawks that we along with all the walking.

welcome back to worlds apart with muhammad to have had let it johnny had it for bronze high council for human rights mr larijani you're joining us from geneva where where you took part in the thirty seven session of the united nations human rights council which once again chose to focus its attention on the human rights situation in iran meetings like these are fairly regular the critics of your country are all the same their grievances and complains are well rehearsed i wonder though if you found this meeting any different from all the previous ones. you mentioned. we participated in the vis sanction to speak of use of both human rights i'm also the critics which is low of the against us and also the behavior of united as there's a number of european gangs. human rights regardless of american or.

european support but by itself is a valuable barometer of civilities so regardless of their position we are going to promote human values in no country and or democracy but american type of human rights. is a corrupt notion in which the human could we swapped with petro dollars in the vision could we swapped with the political influence take the example of yemen you see the genocide there were going on with larger scale of millions of people live and then just look who is supporting who american and british and the number of other european countries they are very generous to lend their support to the aggressor even directly they participate on the side so what

kind of human rights is in which a lot of a million children a woman does not count well let me ask you a specifically about that because when the issue of human rights in iran is raised you never for a fail to mention what you just said that the united states and europe i'm not qualified to pontificate on human rights because of their own record of murder in a number of countries but you know very well that they easily dismiss your argument as briskly as you dismiss theirs do you think there is still any of room any space any form of laughter in within the international system for a genuine and open discussion on how various governments around the world trade their citizens rather than this nonstop circle of condemnations and recriminations the united nation is not. belonging to neither state is the institution for whole nations of the word

secondly yes this is one right now the u.p.a. our mechanism of united nations security council here my advice is rather acceptable method of monitoring every country with a selective method without using double standard to every country should be. unsellable to the situation human rights in zone country united this is britain and europe are boarding in racism and in violence there's record own citizens they don't own citizens are very dire and miserable the lives of the crimes they are committing those are yes then or mechanism right now and could be president and his and we should join hand to hand to stop this corrupt notion of human drugs which is pursued by you know this that europe's and the strive for free human rights there is one issue of human rights that is particular close to my

heart and this is the issue of veils that has long been of symbolic significance both to iran's religious leaders and their harshest critics in the west and in this debate. where men who have to wear this cards usually have a much lesser say that the man who advance their religious or ideological positions i mean i know that there have been a number of. individual projects in iran in support of the woman's right to choose how she she wants to dress do you see that as a foreign plot or do you see that as a genuine movement both of them are the issue is the limits of nudity is not enforcing his job. well whether nudity should have a limit in the public places or not so definite according the law for men and women they should abide by the limits of nudity in the public places while if you know if

you walk into two wrongs the street corners you see the women's games and also boys are rather carrying putting very casual dresses on nobody's following them and pursue them but if there is an organized activity you. this time by the bruton a number of american six are services we want to create a social upheaval. on the. pretext while we are very sensitive we will definitely respond to that this is not a private single act when it becomes an organized action led by the external sixer services definitely come from well mr larijani i do know it represent any secret services including russian but i can tell you that having been

to your beautiful country during its excruciatingly hot summers i can tell you that it is deeply uncomfortable for me at least to being obliged to wear a headscarf and i know that your country i believe at face that your country's very good as far as social participation of women is concerned i think there has been a lot of. progress in that regard than recent decades and i think customs and laws do you change i mean they change in every country do you think there will ever come a moment when the rainy and religious leaders or the iranian democracy will give its women and. its foreign female visit there is the right to decide whether they want to cover their had on up while as you mentioned this is the law also and then think it changing the laws should go through the legal the structure and the protests while i'm not in a position to dictate to the people of iran through what way they should choose for

the change the legal process as far as the law is everybody should respect but next time in tehran when you are in the summer i will have screwed recommendation for a few to refrain from the heat i think go with the wired no the issue for the women in tehran and iran as you know the number of educated women i had no superseding the men barred no they demand a job. they demand job and they demand the positions and i think they are in the very good environment so this is actual think if we should pave the way for the women of wrong for women in iran to acquire position are your standard of influence in the society which they are moving fast well but there there is this yes and no then necessarily in contradiction president rouhani is office recently released their two thousand and fourteen report that according to which forty nine point eight percent of iranians

oppose a government intervention to enforce the veil and in a democratic society i know that iran considers itself a democracy almost half a population that is a number to be reckoned with are they likely to be reckoned with in iran. you know that the palling system could not replace the legal system if present draw news reaching the position of the should be a change in the law he should prove present the bill and send it to the parliament and then they should follow through but i don't think that this maybe this is correct or liable as you said i think right now the major issue for the women into iran is is their job and their social position suppose a woman is a minister this is more important than or

a virus minister or director general or a c.e.o. of a company this is more important for them them how they should dress either to cover their heads or to cover the rest of their bodies so i think this issue should be considered as it is you should not look at it from a cultural bias or culture and why most is different from the iranian even before islam. iranian women very much covered so why are so this is a cultural issue. we cannot formulate one prescription and impose it to war all countries yaar. well mr larijani you just said that we cannot formulate one prescription for all but i would argue that this is exactly what iran is doing at the moment one prescription for all women regardless of their cultural or religious background or of that preferences anyway i earlier this month

a woman who removed her house car from public was sentenced to two years in prison for attempting according to the prosecutor to encourage moral corruption and through the removal of the hip hop and public now you cannot see me right now but i'm not wearing a have scarf if any of your compadre it's see this interview do you think i or do you by engaging in this conversation can be accused of encouraging moral corruption no not the top see you know you are talking from the culture of that you are in that you respect and i'm talking from the cultural background for my country which i respect so first of all that indictment is not for taking a scarf out of there the few working there on you see a lot of ladies you may not hold the scarf on their head all the time as they say. involvement and indulges in organized activity which is led by outside secret

service is the point that live you were assured do you have kids is not finished the courts you rule. and this is the prosecutor's position but then you know the final series with the court i think definitely the point of her allegation is being within within that all the mars activity which is led and supported and funded by the food in secret services so this should be cleared up she should she should she has the capability. of having a lawyer of defenders of this you proved him our action was a personal archon. of the most action led by the secure services from britain especially then. to be cleared from that allegation

well mr larijani next time i am in texas. i will try to follow your advice remove that house scarf as a personal act anyway let's hope that this interview will not put us in their cross hairs of the iranian prosecution especially since our time is up thank you very much for your willingness to spend some time with us and i also encourage our viewers to chime in with dire thoughts on their proper edness of this discussion on our social media pages as for me to see her again same place same time here on worlds apart.

this is. a church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it would literally like to call this to do graphic solution so what the bush admits to do then he finds out that the priest says is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of that's known as the i intend to include that it used to sadden. stuff. stuff it's true. american mess one is the melting pot and the second is the radio alger mess of

the bush strapping like it's a seat in america who works hard so this is a whole group of people all generation in america is saying that there is no melting pot we're not being assimilated there's no opportunities we can't live so their response especially is to go into conflict and this is a major. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to be. the two going to be first this is what before three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question.
