he was an official guest of the iraqi government he was a myth injure of peace. in the region and he's contributed to the cause of regional peace and security is something that no one can deny tell me what you know about his last hours then because why on earth was he traveling in a civilian jam wings' flight from damascus to baghdad that doesn't seem very secure and was he carrying perhaps documents that could have paved the way for peace between saudi arabia and iran i think this is what has been said by prime minister blair mad the of iraq and they told you he was an official guest of iraqi government he was received by protocol department of. iraq in baghdad international airport so he didn't need to travel to iraq in a secret the way he used commercial aircraft and simply because he will he had

a message from the government of iran or through government of iraq to our their partners it was an act of cowardice to anthony such a brilliant person whose role has been very instrumental in defeating valuation of . syria and iraq there are of course some in the west to believe. nato lots of different vested interests would not want peace between saudi arabia and iran there was no real cover mation of any law planned by sulaimani coming from riyadh are you going to meet your saudi counterparts maybe discuss it what is certain is that he. had a message from the government of iraq iran through the government of iraq and that has been confirmed by the prime minister of iraq iraq but i think that's not that important the important thing is that he was an official lead there an

official commander of this republic of iran and assessing a thing or the representative of a sovereign nation insults of a cowardly manner is something beyond imagination and i think by that author nation the united states has already surpassed the river lines distinguished from better buried them from civilized rules of engagement he was a $38.00 it along we of 4 of his iranian colleagues plus and number of our iraqi highly revered commanders so that means that the iraqi trust to americans was betrayed because the american forces are supposed to be protecting iraq against. other extremist forces but it is

a sad irony that the key anti isis fighters are assassinated. by the same armed forces that are supposed to protect iraqi people against extremism iran's retaliate with a shoe in for the assassination of their money was just to have a few ballistic missiles into some empty buildings that they're laying there with their ugh why why was that considered a normal response of course this is their narrative as our leaders said this was a fair the slap in their face and this was of simply our dead measuredly took in self defense against the american on attack against iran sovereignty. and what does it mean that we are even. not for sure but i think that's the beginning of a kind of wake up call for the people and for the governments in the region because

everyone is fed up with the i'm going to can disastrous presence in the region they have been in iran from 2003 they invaded the country and they are saying that they have a stand trillions of dollars just to turn the us armed forces into an armed bandit to assess an 8 or their leaders i think that's really a disgrace and that's why we believe that that's the beginning of the you as. a politician from. the me that is from the best asia. always said he wanted the soldiers to come home from iraq where do you think drum blink blink 1st zarif of course said that the iranian action was under article $51.00 but it was after those initial raids on the airbase in iraq that iran warned the united states and its proxies in the region that the cities of dubai tel aviv and haifa would be destroyed do you believe the trump blinked when iran threatened our i think

everyone got his or her message we have said many times and you have proven beyond any doubt that the or law abiding nation they have no bill warriors view or not as the scenes and that's why we inform the government of iraq because at the end of the day it was the iraqi basically it was abused by the united states to target our heroes that's why we had to inform iraqi government in advance to make sure that no iraqis are injured in that attack and it was an act of a state terrorism amounting to a crime of aggression and to an act of aggression so we did what we are entitle to do under the international law well britain was immediately implicated because b. 52 jets were being used in the occupied and you go. you know there was refueling reports from our a.f. milde in all in britain and in fact boris johnson said h.m.s. montrose and the h.m.s. defender to iran shores there were reports here of the capability of britain to

bomb iran what happens if britain does something like it did a while back and hijacked as reported the oil supplies for the poor of syria which were aided by the iranian government i think everyone has something to read that it was a disgrace for those who initiated that kind of interception of our best then and i'm sure everyone is familiar with the outcome but apart from that. i think again we have made it very clear that whoever provided bases or their territory to the us forces for their model of what an attack for their. acts of aggression against iran would be held accountable apart from arms company shares doing well you believe this is a very dangerous week indeed trump did say that apart from wanting the help of nato

no it wasn't clear about that he wants more sanctions on iran will there be any more revenge now from iran for the trump assassination of customs for their money this is the beginning of a very. i guess exciting episode. it was a wakeup call for the people in the region and beyond. this was . an action an act of self-defense by an armed forces against us but are they told you i think this is the beginning of a i hope not too long process that the people of our region would be get rid of. the american presence in the region because their presence in our region has brought nothing except our. means every war.

ambassador thank you thank you after the break. 48 hours ahead of the announcement of this year's oscar nominations we examine the breathless u.s. government propaganda that led to the death of legendary actor jean seberg with the director of a new film about a starting job he's angel star kristen stewart all of them all coming up about 2 and going on the ground. this footage is unique because the zoe tribal lands are normally off limits to the

public eric's allowed in because he's the seller his personal doctor. people here know him simply as dr eric he's rich famous some always on the move saving yachts and flying aircraft that. know. he's considered one of the best neurosurgeons in brazil. that's happening amazon. allergies so says. going to busy doing nothing is going to do the population nothing much is going to people from momma's on. and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises upon. to the people. you know

we've all pots. pretty. pretty good. if you want to 1st. know. paul. 5 but if she warned you posted by you than i do the show would be sure that there was

more in those jeans nudist beach and you see me. in a muffin when you die. you mean yes i mean that so that in such a ball. clonic you will see sawing as if parts of the 2 kids each other both sides most schools. as in the adults to me as if. the. cabinet 5 days doing this is. people who simply knew. she would include in total. reality as mandates of its own that go beyond what our wishes and preferences are.

and our utopian visions may be we're going to get a new deal but it may not be the green new deal that people are expecting will get the green new deal that we have we deserve rather think we are going to get a green new deal because the green you're dealing compas is things beyond just what infrastructure health care is in that new deal there are other elements if you go back 20 started in 2006 that we are going to get and that are popular in this country. the world is driven by. thinks. we. ask.

welcome back within 48 hours of knowing this is also going to minnie's with hundreds of millions of dollars to some of the world's biggest media conglomerates let's let scrutinized by corporate media will be the influence of the u.s. government in hollywood for military support and influence on the latest blockbuster has to cointelpro the relentless surveillance of this information campaign run by j. edgar hoover's f.b.i. against political activists in hollywood throughout the 20th century a new film about the iconic breathless actor jean seberg who was arguably hounded to her death by the f.b.i. program has just been released and says our award winning actor kristen stewart going on to guns deputy editor charlie cook caught up with the film's director and started by asking him about. restless made you a star of the new. why do you think the french fell in love with. the care they get me instead. looks. a window in the life of the american actress

jean seberg between around 968 and 971 also when she was she was living a life between. the french left bank where she was married to the russia or mongery and the kind of hollywood career and kind of straddling those those 2 worlds and she comes back to los angeles in the spring of 1968 and she she meets. civil rights activist hakim jamal and she becomes involved in supporting supporting his work and making donations and that's also making donations to the black panther party and through that she gets the attention of the f.b.i. cointelpro surveillance program and they start. observing watching her life listening in on a and she gets kind of pulled into what. hakim jamal in the movie because you know

what americans want black america the movie tracks both sides of this surveillance operation intimately with jean and the kind of collapse of her life over this period. of her sense of or reality and then a young f.b.i. agent. who is tom with watching her and it's not traditional by nick i know that when she was 14 shoes donating to the end only c.p. what made you choose just kind of 3 years of my life to cover i wasn't really interested in in a kind of you know tell tale all told biography and this this period of her. live on one hand there is just extraordinary injustice the people don't know about of her life this is kind of necessarily a kind of shadowy period when this kind of state machinery was was was turned against us so violently also i think there's some think deeply cinematic in

this this. overlapping of the exploring both sides of this violence oppression and we wanted to condense it down so it really concentrates in entirely on that yet you mention cointelpro just give us a bit more detail about what that was because i mean i don't know what brought you want to the project but you said that not many people know about cointelpro was it polly to kind of almost blow the whistle on on this project that shadowy period the nominees will never i mean certainly for me the shadow period is in terms of gee genes life or just the. how extraordinary and violent that overreach was and how much she was caught in the crossfire all of this state efforts to to crush and destroy black activists in this country is unwarranted some impression of black people in america the same disgusting racism so cointelpro pro was

a counterintelligence program secret counterintelligence program. under j. edgar hoover's f.b.i. that was turned against. american activists. the left feminist groups but particularly african-american civil rights groups and the black panther party they published lies about people. dr martin luther king and they infiltrated and ran surveillance operations on groups like the black panthers and spread misinformation and those same tactics applied to jeanne in the film and they destroyed her relationships with the with the with the activist community she's working with. we talked before about kind of how vital the movie feels now like whether with the kind of revelations from someone like edward snowden or like the way the film they're f.b.i.

agents in the film is a kind of use media outlets to punish somehow doing this is still this kind of thing still goes on today as much they did then or show i mean i think what we see in the movies in like a kind of d.n.a. form of the culture we live in now else you have an analog surveillance culture where we now live in a kind of mass mass surveillance culture where where in the movie jack needs to kind of break into a house in order to open up a fund in order to put a bug inside we all carry the bugs around complicit in our own surveillance with with oh smartphones and so on. top of sounds and listening community still clicks online i think the government the movie shows how. the state uses that surveillance uses that invasion of private space in order to kind of mine private information that can be

used as a weapon and to create lies that can be used. used as weapons and i think when now we live in they kind of cross-fire of of that that constant constant barrack barricades of that that maybe a war and here we see it in a way by a we see both sides of a but we see it by getting very close to the human cost of that in someone like like like jane we see in the movie is well the particular the vince vaughn character as a kind of mechanic of a kind of fake news in a kind of a writer of a kind of fake news making stories but jim but instead of fake news being just this appropriate a political term as a as it currently is by the current american regime you actually say no it's a weapon it's a conservative weapon being it big being being used and and i think it's kind of just a reminder of if we're seeing it in a kind of infancy in the movie of just how how you know terrifying and powerful

that that is where view bang cared to slated they are this our jobs to cheap in are individually anjan the public into the fusion you can order to do the sort of deal we've made with the the bell ability of ng for information a the accessibility of of information that and the drug of that it's very easy for us to get just hell absolutely transparent on the kind of things that 1520 years ago the kind of private space that we would have wants to protect has just been blown right blown open and what happens as as countries and. european states move further and further to the right what happens is that that information becomes when that information is is weapon weaponized again and in in jeans story is kind of one tip of the iceberg of of that that story within the civil rights movement in america right i think we see we see the terrible human

cost of that there's a kind of push and pull in the movie kind of by agent played by stephen root where he kind of is pushing for more commercial success and she's pushing back wanting to make political statements do you do you think that still president when you have to make a choice between kind of being a very commercially successful act and being a political activist and how it's its image and i don't know if it's a bar in binary and i don't know if it's while he wants to keep her in the it in the in a box in a way and he doesn't want her to do things which he thinks will will will damage her career there's a flip side to that even then in a way where the vince vaughn character makes a joke about her that you know she's she just wants the media attention so even back then there's an awareness that like with jen from the doing the black power salute aware that mel is jackets at the time that there's a kind of performance of activism as well which is not so the associated as much with we didn't see. some action groups free publicity has

a history of donations to civil rights groups sympathize with her but she's an interesting creature jim because she straddling both these worlds and i think she she also wants to be on the billboards and she she also wants to have the she still that kind of drug of stardom is still there period she's doing paint your wagon and she. she's doing m. . movie and so on at the same time as she's the you know done one of the most. seminal movies of contemporary cinema refused before and breathless as she struggles these 2 worlds and that to me speaks to her absolute curiosity and there are still actors i think who do that and kristen is one of the sort of thing you did where you said the career and genes create kind of rhyme and that way and i just wonder if that was was attracted you to bring her in italy i mean it's a beautiful gift that there are these runs between them and as a director to just have someone who has that innate understanding of the end of

a system of another actress playing is very rare. and maybe paid for how much your property you've got me and wanted like that again i'll shoot you down the get drunk. where'd you get the. woman has your secrets. for an actress to play another actress is always really tricky can end up with a kind of impersonator and i'm so in other interested in going to the cinema to see the whole make a movie that does that so we had to have someone who would have that same kind of a raw life force that gene had who would be out to have the genes iconic look the kind of the georgian enjoy heck out of this sort of beguiling beauty and that would be able to kind of wear clothes like jean did as a kind of. fashion icon but then with so that was all there with kristen but then like jean jean shot to fame in the late 1950 s.

when she won a talent contest for the director to permit her to pledge and of actually one that of 18000 girls and shot from marshalltown i went to kind of huge fame overnight kristen had a similar thing off the panic room and then the twilight films of having an extraordinary kind of public gaze upon her and both of them maybe kind of got kicked around a bit by by a domestic press in the. united states and when this is certainly taken seriously and both kind of suffered under that and prove themselves by their work in europe european cinema kristen's the only american actress to have won the says our award and and they both have this kind of openness and curiosity and hunger i think to be involved in things that the speak to them deeply kind of main antagonist as it were in the film are like unseen prem injures never shown in the film nor is. and i wondered if that was a conscious choice to have kind of it maybe represent

a more just like patriarchal kind of vibe as it were rather than showing them as individuals it's interesting that they. day how they both hover over the movie. i merely call them the toads or. the movie but both of them are sort of the more the monsters or the specters that sit there while one in terms of the that that idea that who who visit the eye he is everywhere and everything is being done for him that the whole machinery is his is his ideology. and if there is a kind of perversity in a sickness in that institution and if it is inherently racist and if it is you know kind of involved in a dirty war it's his duty it's his dirty war and then in terms of premise more on a personal level because the work with him is has finished for about 10 years when we come come to the movie and premarin just sort of stands there as someone who you

know he she was a kind of on only she knew who was picked up by him and he treated her very briefly as a director he's very tough methods that she said really kind of. and this is something that we as sort of detectives watching her the course of the movie that we discover that this this kind of damage is there maybe this is what she's trying to break out of as she's seeking new relationships both politically in terms of her love life and in terms of her artistic life that she's trying to break out from underneath that system and it's interesting you make that analogy them between project who is a left we quite quite a sort of you know left wing director in terms of is a isn't politics and quite afford thinking direct but famously brutal in how he treated treated actresses and ruthless as a director to get what he wanted on screen of all costs and then the you know there are. absolutely tons of right wing ruthless politics of who but yet they

both. there and in a way like look over the film thank you so much thank you deputy editor jolly good . gays in them is now over the show will. no money until then keep in touch by social media and subscribe to going underground on egypt. this footage is unique because the zoe tribal lands are normally off limits to the public eric's allowed in because he's this is personal don't. people here know him simply is don't to eric he's rich famous some always on the move sailing yacht some flying in a croft that it's. not.

known. he's considered one of the best neurosurgeons in brazil. that's happening amazon. is so slow. going over busy doing nothing is going to do the population much because it's going to people. jump is a new york and you know he looks at the global picture and he sees the tension in the middle east he sees iran doing a dance with it there and back at the neighbors and there's like you know what let's just cut to the chase is just i got a guy in iraq and we're going to get more money printing right away because i want to make my yacht premed this weekend why fots around this is the new york way of doing things i said it when he 1st got elected it's like i have

a new yorker in the white house and i've been in new york around the world i'm a new yorker you know i got a lot of. my in the news in my. mind the. main thing about the daytime about what was it was it in time that we're in a sense as if i'm up as a moron about. what when what in the side up. seen. him. in.
