understand what's unique about the scottish government process is that talking about events of many years ago when i'm not or a selling scottish government minister i'm not even an m.p. or m.s.p. at the present moment and therefore it's really important if you try and introduce such a reckless specter procedure that you make sure that the passion who is being complained of it has the opportunity to properly present the case the scottish government's been making the position look the should apply to everybody including former first ministers i absolutely agree and everybody including former first ministers and everybody in the land is intitled to a fear of process and a chance to state the case fairly what could be wrong with that but no you know we're i say the only good i can see coming out of this is we're on our way to the court of session that's a real court of real judgment with fear process is they'll meet with. them will

3:46 am
against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase us for hundreds of your cats is not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world the russian made s. four hundred missile system is capable of hitting multiple high speed aerial targets within a range of four hundred kilometer is that dale signed by take and russia lost it is with two point five billion dollars and the first systems will be delivered next year and caress has been looking to bolster its ad offensive since the u.s. withdrew its patriot missiles from the syrian border region back in two thousand and fifteen russia has long time trade partners from all over the world as the

3:48 am
thinks the u.s. is pushing on south to gain paratha collaborates point we thought from the operational military perspective f. sixteen so not much use in the immediate threats that he perceives the philippines faces and he perceives with good reason but there is i think more to this what we're talking about here is trying to use this as a means of leverage to control the fall and policies of other countries and that's exactly what the philippine president regardless of whether one likes him or not always policies that he has correctly identified that america uses this to pressure its allies into staying as allies after all that's the philippines president objected to basically said don't forget the south is about more than capability it's also about a relationship you buy american weapons you're investing in a relationship and you can find all the details on those stories and much more and . now fail in half an hour's time.
3:49 am
are laws that say that collapsed when the soviet union collapsed because of the u.s. meddling in boris yeltsin and all that's going on they have the skyrocketing alcoholism and so shoulder. here in the us because you have this enormous financial and reengineering to take all the money being printed and put in the pockets of a few folks and leave the vast majority in a state of zombification this is the collapse gap he was talking about the u.s. and the soviet union both collapse in the one thousand nine hundred ninety period
3:50 am
it just took a stake in the us as he describes it you know longer to realize that collapse. shevardnadze islam in europe has long been viewed with suspicion by the majority accused of not representing european values is that really true and can it be changed well i ask cher rain han khan denmark's first female. islam in europe is a magnet for controversy used by the right way to storm fear of folks feared by the people in the wake of center attacks and the refugee crisis and we do extremists inside the muslim community for resisting integration and feeding mistrust come to
3:51 am
vicious circle of phobia and hatred. is there a way to measure europe's ultimate liberalism and the ancient traditions of this land and how for the is the past me yet. denmark's first female in mom welcome it's really great to have you with us i'm very excited to ask you all the questions that i want now you call yourself an islamic feminist being denmark's first female a mom to using a woman could ever lead a mixed mosque in prayer in islam not just female only and would you like that to happen actually i had the vision of a mosque with female humam so many years ago back in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine i was inspired when i did my thesis in syria and sufism and islamic activists and and back then was my admission to a mosque with female in moms leading the prayer actually for both men and women because i always pray together men and women so it's very natural to me i was
3:52 am
always. i was always working against the segregation within different spheres so when i started the mosque we recruited it. other people for our team for the group. like any group like any community you have to vote and it's a democracy and the majority of the committee they voted for a women's mosque only so i had to accept that and i think now when i look back on the really happy about the decision because i realize that having a mosque with women or female sleet the prayer for only women it's not controversial at all so we're actually able to do other revolutions that i consider more important but do you feel like when you pray it's about but do you feel like your vision of having a mixed mixed mosque could ever come true is this something would want to see in
3:53 am
the future it is already happening because we have the first mosque in scandinavia with a few million moms but there there are mosques all over the world in china since the eighteen twenty in the you. as in canada and germany and especially in germany and canada and us there are mosques with mixed prayer so it's already happening in many places in the world i do hope that in the future we could have a mosque with both male and female in momsen and i hope that in the future we could have makes prayer also because we have so many young men who says that we would also like to come to the money a mosque and to pray with you and we would like to come as a family without children and so i think it will happen maybe in the future but right now i'm quite happy about a women's mosque so islamic states extreme take on islam still attracted a lot of women to go and volunteer and join its costs you as a female spiritual leader how do you explain that why would people why would women
3:54 am
volunteer to be so horribly oppressed. by isis i mean i think that people tend to become radicalized or at tractor to read to collide communities because they don't feel a part of the existing communities that they live in often if you don't feel a part of the existing community i mean you have nothing to lose and you try to seek other communities where you feel at home and where you feel that you are dated so unfortunately these communities that are very extreme and to try to i mean they sometimes you know they they focus on all these political issues of today and they use all these political tensions in order to recruit very vulnerable young people who maybe do not feel at home in their existing european communities or where they might live and that's why it's so crucial that that we try to include
3:55 am
our minorities in the existing countries in order for everybody to feel at home and to feel a part of the community that you believe that the koran at its basics considers man and woman equal so all they patrick arkell oppressive parts of traditional islamic societies where do they come from if not religion i mean in the koran there are one hundred fourteen chapters and more than six thousand six hundred verses and there are six verses that could be interpreted as discriminatory against women but they could also be interpreted over differently with a focus on women's rights and gender equality and that's actually what we're trying to do in the area mosque we try to reread these verses in order to create gender equality so and this is actually happening all over the world we have
3:56 am
a male and the and male and female scholars who try to rewrite the koran in our times in our societies. within islam we have a patriarchal structure within religious institutions and that patriarchal structure of course it has affected the interpretation of the koran so this is also what we would like to challenge these pay trickle structures patriarchal readings of the koran and and i think that female you moms has something to contribute in that context because we have a specific focus on gender equality and we are in need of that so you're not wearing a he job shoot i had or face cover be a choice and this is a sign of oppression what do you think of course if i mean we are born free we are born free so of course every single human should choose for themselves how they want to live their life and muslim women have different interpretation of what
3:57 am
it means to be a modest woman this is my interpretation of modesty to me the scarf is a metaphor for sincerity towards god and sincerity in the relationships that you find yourself in it could be a friendship or a marriage or whatever so but i also respect women who choose the way that he jav and see it as a part of the islamic identity we have to accept and respect that claim and have these different interpretation of what it means to be a modest woman in the koran there are two verses come searching the scarf and concerning the covering one of the verses is specifically. related to the wife of the prophet and the other verse is more universal. like you said he dropped to burka it's all based in their requirements to be modest for women in islam the that as another the of the pattern arche that you are resisting like and woman has to
3:58 am
sing about how a man sees her and worry whether she's judged modest or not by a man. that's not my interpretation of modesty i use the term more in the sense of the. in the sense that you choose how you want to present yourself in the sense of a more spiritual sincerity so i have the same respect for a woman who's wearing a ministers and a woman who's fully covered i mean it's up to any woman to choose how she wants to dress and how she feels comfortable and i mean it's stated clearly in the declaration of human rights that any human being has the right to practice his or her religion in the private sphere and in the public sphere so i mean we cannot we cannot decide that women should not wear the hijab i mean it's a human right it's a freedom of religion and freedom of religion is is just as important as freedom of
3:59 am
speech so as it of course what happens in iraq what happens in iran where women are forced to wear the scarf of course i condemn that and i five fight against that and i wouldn't i also condemn anyone we are i condemn whatever is going on in europe right now where were countries are trying to. fool he jobs on women in the streets . i mean if a woman if a woman chooses to wear the he or the board it's her own individual decision and we shouldn't i mean fights against that we have to support the i mean any person's right to practice his or her religion i mean we signed the contract was signed the declaration of human rights so it's actually stated that very clearly that this is a possibility so i will fight for any woman's right to wear the hijab and not to whether he. knows the station you're quite an interesting mix of
4:00 am
absolute european democrat and a spiritual leader in the slum. when you try to fight islamophobia and open up your religion open up islam from a different angle how do your fellow believers see you i mean do you think you are a true muslim in their eyes and the must live of the clerics from egypt or iraq or maybe don't even care what they think actually i do not seek the recognitions of of other people i seek the recognition of. but of course it means something to me what people think. actually we had a visitor it's was the granny mom from the third largest mosques in the indonesia. it's called the mosque the granny mom he has two hundred thousand muslim because it says every friday for his friday prayer he came to them i am up.
