violence aggression but mr larijani what i'm asking here 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. of a 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 this
3:01 pm
very acceptable and russian all they say that to definitely won't tolerate any threat to the years russian presence in this syria are 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 determination of the people i'm those who are on the ground fighting to liberate the syria from the very minute suffer as you 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.
3:02 pm
rice perceive. and. prices you end up with a fake. here with manipulate. the markets in there if you have if you have interest rates at zero and you can borrow money at zero percent you have an online the credit line and you can muscle prices around it well that creates fake prices and then if you have robots reporting on fake prices on the financial media as foreign stuff then the robots are going to report on the fake crisis driven by the fake news created by robots and you have a virtual or a not so virtual cycle of fake news and fake crisis and then that people interpret that as reality. for.
3:03 pm
political end used to be the end of the film outside the system if you flow to from some fundamentally teaches that morning. when i look to the sounds like some. americans are now coming along and i'm knows me. there will soon be the world's leave to leave god out of the book be a slow. leak . come from. the country of those in the muck am i going to keep thinking of the them when they're going to have a difficult moment. and these years are made up off and they're going to. go oh she moved up to the front of obviously the field of vision from the.
3:04 pm
3:05 pm
welcome back to worlds apart with muhammad to about let it johnny had ever run for 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
3:06 pm
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 a moment come or. european support. 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. it's a corrupt notion in which the human could we swapped with petro dollars in the vision we swapped with 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
3:07 pm
number of other european countries they are very generously lend their support to the aggressor even directly they participate in their 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 they're still any of room any space any form of a laugh 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
3:08 pm
recriminations the united nation is not. belonging to neither state is the institution for a whole nations of the world secondly yes this is one road no the u.p.a. are 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 humorous in zone country you know either this britain and europe are boarding in racism and in violence their record own citizens they don't own citizens are very dire unmissable the gunless of the crimes they are committing them so yes then all of mankind is in right now and could be president and his and we should join hand to hand stop this corrupt notion
3:09 pm
of human drives 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 different and according the law for men and
3:10 pm
women they should abide by the limits of nudity in the public places while if you know if you walk into two wrong 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. 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 not
3:11 pm
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 kids 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 hat on up while as you mentioned this is the law also and then think it's changing the laws should go through the legal the structure and the
3:12 pm
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 into iran when you are in the summer i will have screwed recommendation for a few to refrain from 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 but i had 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 harvest standard of influence in the society which they are moving
3:13 pm
fast well but there there is this yes and no then necessarily in contradiction president rouhani has 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 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 into iran is is their job and their social position suppose
3:14 pm
a woman is a minister this is more important or a virus minister or director general or a c.e.o. of a company this is more important for them than how they should dress is there to cover this head 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 card to either a knee and even before islam. iranian women are 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
3:15 pm
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 compatriots see this interview do you think i or you by engaging in this conversation can be accused of encouraging moral corruption no not the thought little lucy you know you are talking from the 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 the war that indictment is not for taking a scarf out of there the few working there are new see a lot of ladies you know there may not hold the scarf on their head all the time as
3:16 pm
they say. involvement and indulges in organized activity which is led by outside secret service is the point that leave you. have kids has not finished the courts to rule. and this is the prosecutor's position but then you know the final say with the court i think definitely the point the allegation is being within within that all the mars activity which is led and supported and funded by the food in the 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 secret services from
3:17 pm
britain especially then. definitively be cleared 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 the a 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 property and ness of this discussion on our social media pages as for me hope to see you again same place same time here on worlds apart.

3:21 pm
activities and only goals want to do traditionally female activities people are afraid that there are genders and that boys like to do boys stuff and then girls like to do girl stuff it's not at that point mistake and stroll. around the clock across the world this is our to international from the team and myself you know neil welcome to the program this hour's time. story german police car read out a major raid at a migrant center in the south of the country after scores of asylum seekers forcibly prevented the deportation of a tongue goalie's man on monday the group reportedly attacked officers on their vehicles before helping the individual to escape let's get more details now live on the program peter all versions this from berlin peter just looking through some of
3:22 pm
the reports here the numbers of people involved is eye opening literally hundreds of migrants and police officers at different stages take us through what happened here. right well if we start on monday with the incident and kick this all off it started when police in the southwestern german town of end of argan. gartin barton borden book arrived at this refugee center with the intention of taking away a twenty three year old man from originally from tonga for togo a big part of who is about to be deported now as they arrive to do that crowds of people start arriving saying he should be set free those crowds got bigger and bigger we're hearing one hundred fifty plus refugees surrounding the police in their car that was there and we hear from the police that this was a particularly aggressive crowd that threats were being shouted the police officers eventually for air fearing for their safety well they released the man and then
3:23 pm
retreated now the police chiefs haven't condemned those officers they've said that they what they described was a really horrific situation a potentially dangerous situation that they were right to pull out there now three days later thursday we saw a major police raid take place now we're hearing as many as two hundred police were involved in this and they detained that twenty three year old along with seventeen other people but speaking to the press senior police saying that they had to move in when they did to stop this situation descending into further chaos. yeah structures were organized at the refuges center that's apparently ng to obstruct the authorities were there there was considerable danger of the demerge and as a lawless area. well as more information has come out about this throughout thursday we've seen quite angry reaction from politicians particularly at the fact that it this man was essentially on the run in free for three days after after the
3:24 pm
initial incident on monday we heard from christine linda who is the chairman of the opposition free democratic party saying that this particular incident had the potential to shake confidence in the state itself well cabinet ministers in the government of also being coming out and demanding action we heard from catarina who is the minister for justice saying that there needed to be swift action taken against people who have failed in their asylum applications and don't have the right to be here in germany and we also heard from the interior minister horse who is typically a bully and in what he has to say. what happened there is a blow to the law abiding population we shouldn't let them trample on our hospitality and take some police officers are unexceptable in a constitutional state such conduct must have criminal consequences is clear that frustration is no excuse for crime but there are a lot of questions being asked namely well why was this able to happen in the first
3:25 pm
place how can it be stopped from happening at other refugee centers in the future and ultimately who is to take the blame for allowing this situation to escalate as rapidly as it did peter all of our europe correspondent live on the program thank you. former cia director mike pump aoe has been sworn in as u.s. secretary of state and given a ringing endorsement by donald trump the president said he believes the appointment will reenergize the country's foreign policy establishment. i must say that's more spirit than i've heard from the state department in a long time many years we can say many years maybe many decades it's going to be a fantastic start a fantastic day and that spirit will only be magnified only with this man right
3:26 pm
here i know that for a fact right. now it's official praises a true american hero my palm pale has been sworn in as the nation's chief diplomat and he's vowing to make state department great again i talked about getting back our swagger and i'll fill in what i mean by that but it's important the united states diplomatic corps needs to be in every corner every stretch of the world executing missions on behalf of this country a pump a speech was well received by everyone from the media to other officials some don't even wait to compare of the tillerson saying that he was more open than tillerson ever was pump a i did however stress the concept of american exceptionalism which is generally considered controversial in some circles least i talked in my my hearing about the fact that this nation is so exceptional and so incredibly blessed this is a unique exceptional country russia is unique but not exceptional and he's wasting
3:27 pm
no time taking the reins for its predecessor my pompei has spent his first days as secretary of state showing support to israel and that was just before israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu made from an laboratory claims against iran accusing the country of lying about a secret nuclear weapons program for years but pompei was tough stances on iran and other supposedly hostile states aren't new. i can't think of a thing that has put america in a better position as a result of this deal every single action the iranians have taken has been bolder and starker than the ones they took before the agreement. a very real danger they are ever closer to having the capacity to hold america risk with a nuclear weapon. it is difficult to imagine a stable syria that still has assad in power he is a puppet of the iranians and therefore it seems an unlikely situation where assad will be sitting on the throne and america's interests will be well served this is
3:28 pm
the same man who made a secret trip to north korea to pave the way for trump's historic meeting with kim jong un but bringing peace to the korean peninsula has become a top foreign policy priority for the u.s. administration but judging by the hawkish track records of those surrounding the president you might have to wonder what their real intentions are some iraq on r.t.e. washington d.c. well after having a series of trips abroad might pump able now to spend the coming weeks in washington picking up where his predecessor rex tillerson left off a nuclear studies director we heard from told us he fears u.s. foreign policy will quickly become more bellicose pump a zero. donald trump in announcing that tillerson was going to be leaving office said that he disagreed with tillerson about around policy so that was a key factor is not going to disagree with pompei o and that's why the europeans
3:29 pm
are so frightened and it's why one hundred foreign policy experts including fifty retired military officials said to trump wrote a letter saying we should not break this deal with iran it's in the united states interest it's a good deal and iran has been following it clearly pompei o is among the real hawks when it comes to iran policy he's going to reinforce donald trump's worst tendencies along with john bolton the same thing with north korea so north korea right now looks very very positive but we know that between now and the time when this deal is concluded there's a hundred ways that it could blow up every day if pompei o wants to be a moderating force a north korea that's great i will hope he will also be a moderating force when it comes to iran but i doubt it. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has told israel not if it has evidence that iran has
