americans in syria should be decreased also should bestow american. presence in syria northern part of syria is illegal it is against international law he scored different from the russian collaboration with the syrian government which is based on mutual acceptance reliance. america's war one good and the thing by bombardment the selective targets they face is better to money. rather than to advance gresham 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 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 with 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 but our steps are very determined is supporting the russian people and the russian government to defend their land their 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 artistic presence but anyhow

what is the mental is not some selective strikes what is the term mental is the determination of the people i'm those who are on the ground fighting to liberate the syria from the verminous opposition will part of the terrorist group support to create to 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. with more make manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling plus. project themselves. in the final

merry go round the sun is the one person. doing all middle of the room signals. the real news is really the way. well you know the pirate thing we kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. been there in the small boats next to the harper one sheep and it's. not. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dart got in a ball because the. constitution scoops seventy five tonnes they do it several times

a day with the big feet oh you get an idea right which. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be with this he does feel for you. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we.

welcome back to worlds apart with muhammad to let it johnny had a 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. planes are well rehearsed i wonder though if you found this meeting any different from all the previous ones while as you mentioned . we participated in the sanction to speak our views about human rights i'm also the critics which is learned against us and also the behavior of united as there's a number of european gangs while human rights regardless of american or. european support bio's by itself is

a valuable barometer of civility so because of their position we are going to promote human values you know country and or democracy but american type of human rights. it's 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 in the side so what kind of human rights is in which to live of 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 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. an institution. belonging to neither state is the institution for whole nations of the world 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 you know either this is britain and europe are boarding is racism and violence there is record own citizens they don't own citizens are very dire unmissable the lives of the crimes they are committing those are yes then or mechanism right now and could be present mechanism 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 protest 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 definitely i couldn't go lower 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 boards are rather carrying putting very casual dresses on nobody's following them and pursue them but if there is an organized activity you. julie led this time by the britain a number of american the 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 about it is deeply uncomfortable for me at least to being obliged to wear

a headscarf and i know that your country i believe at least 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 they raney 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 think it's changing the laws should go through the legal destruction 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 through this wired know the issue for the women in tehran and iran as you know the number of educated women know superseding the men who are know they demand a job. they demand job and they demand the positions and i think they are 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 hard standard of influence in the society which they are moving fast well but there there is yes and no then necessarily in contradiction president rouhani his 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 they're on considers itself a democracy almost half the population that is a number to be reckoned with are they likely to be reckoned with in iran while 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 in tehran is is the job and their social position suppose a woman is a minister this is more important than or a virus minister or a 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 much is different from card to iranian even before islam. the 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 at all little lucy 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 their own you see a lot of ladies you know there 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 led you were surely you have kids

is not finished the courts you rule. and this is the prosecutor's position but then you know the final say 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 circus services from britain especially then. to be clear for them 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 their thoughts on their proper edness of this discussion on our social media pages as for me hope to see you again same place same time here on worlds apart. this baby and. dumbest thing is this on march eighteenth vote with your remote

to zante for special coverage of the russian presidential election exit polls opinions real time results monitoring and much more. he says. the church secret indeed carefully priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally. to call this to do graphic solution so what the bishop means to do then he finds out that the priest who's 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 film that has the i intend to include at tuesday's out in the. case felt.

the american mess one is the melting pot and the second is the ratio alger mess of the bush trapping any like at the scene 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 up so their response especially is to go into conflict and this is a major cause. the most expensive fish in the world each one is selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get the. big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only remnants of a much larger mission was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for

a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not cleared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes. focusing very much on right now across russia in the twenty eight presidential election as people are let their next president for the next six years some of the polling stations indeed have already closed russia's far east but knowing i was ahead of us here in the capital most go fish will turn out as it sounds at the moment around sixty percent will be bringing you all the latest this validating times bigger than bringing you all the best reaction. and in other news tonight more than twenty five thousand people have fled the militant held city in any of the. three russian sponsored evacuation routes this sunday and the exodus shows no sign of stopping plus u.k.
