i'm actually at times you know watching going underground the team and i will be back for a new season with a brand new look on international nurses day wednesday the 12th of may but until then we'll be showing some of your favorite shows from this season stay safe and we'll see you then. you know a moment i'll speak to the former president of the islamic republic of iran this in a week when the u.s.s. nimitz aircraft carrier has been reportedly sent to iran's maritime borders and donald trump secretary of state of things for a few days my comp aoe the former cia director. and let us be among the best of his supporters and advocates. and those who spare no effort before his advantage or it or let me 1st say hello to you and all those who watch this program.

and hope it'll be helpful for all. terror primarily indicates the weakness and contempt ability of its perpetrators it is condemned in any form by anyone and for any purpose. the goal of the recent terror was to weaken the iranian nation and to halt its growth and development i understand he was working on coronavirus research is assassination followed the killing of gen cousin so they money and now the last days of the trumpet ministration they're talking about al-qaeda people in iran the need to attack iran what retaliation will ever will it will air on their enemies expect from any attack on iran. well i think the culture of the iranian nation has never throughout history been after conflict. war or threatening others. and it will not be.

basically the era of using the language of threat in national and international relations with russia the point is over. even though i believe that all nations had this strictly a post such an approach on the facts and slam it. how sure are you that usa in teheran if. iran's enemies can assassinate scientists and generals this is the type of incident that may occur anywhere in the world if russia continues from nato countries do you think that iran is getting close. economically culturally politically its relations with moscow and with

beijing are they are they getting closer. the iranian nation has always sought friendly and constructive relations based on justice and respect with all nations and that includes the nations of russia and china. but the governments of these 2 countries have so far not been able to stop the in-force meant of sanctions you mean that russia and china are failed to stop sanctions on iran yes that's what i said i mean russia is saying iran is now enriching uranium to rates that are much higher than the j c p a way would allow well let's already in the papers. i mean i'll get to coronaviruses in a moment but the u.s.

aircraft carrier nimitz has been sent to iran's maritime borders you have the boss of trump's pentagon making accusations against iran how would iran cope with us well me in the last days of a troubled presidency. as i have noted over and over previously the united states major policies including the key issue of war are what the behind the scenes governing board decides and enforces and the presidents don't play determining role in them. not in fact from all the developments on folding and the news being broadcast that. it's my understanding that a new war is about to be imposed on the sensitive region of the middle east. therefore i wrote a letter to the leaders in the region. and asked them to avoid the consequences of

such a war. i called on them to try and prevent it from happening. and warn them about the damage and toll of such a war. for all regional states. you know that when joe biden was vice president president obama bombed some say destroyed africa's richest recapitalize country libya how will biden make any difference to iran u.s. relations he's of course a very good friend of israel i addressed that question earlier on. from our standpoint it makes no difference who is president in the us. since major u.s. policies are devised by the governing board behind the scenes. look at the past 70

years many crimes against humanity have been committed and a lot of wars and impositions have been waged by consecutive u.s. administrations. and regardless of the party in office they carried out that mission. during either of the parties time in power similar events have been repeated therefore i don't expect that not to reoccur in the future. and so it makes no difference who is president bush if it is the military industrial complex. that controls the usa which is what you're saying what does it make you feel when you saw the pictures of the attempted insurrection in washington that came after you wrote the letter is. appealing for. those are the internal affairs of the u.s.

they're almost irrelevant to international policy it's bad luck to say when there was demonstrations on the streets of tehran yes in their foreign policy they meddle in all the affairs of countries the united states under trump said they have a big new peace plan for the middle east is iran facing more problems because of that now that the united arab emirates bahrain. so many different arab countries they all there have relations with israel is that going to be a big problem for iran whether it's biden whether it's drones. this is not about iran it's about palestine i have said this before. we welcome any positive development but these issues aren't related to the palestinian issue these countries have never been palestine's concern tens of

countries among them permanent un security council members already had relations with the zionist regime and the palestinian issue was still not resolved. the issue of palestine needs to be resolved in palestine and by recognizing the palestinian nation's right to self-determination otherwise if countries not involved in the palestinian issue take certain measures what difference would that make and so you don't expect any difference as regards palestine under joe biden. it depends on how you analyze the situation today and what your perception of the word change yes. i think the governing board in the us. regardless of which party has control of the executive branch and of other centers of power. has always pursued its own interests. yes though they have absolutely never pursued

the interests and fundamental rights of the palestinian nation i think it is not the history of the past 70 years clearly shows that many say the a nightmare for nato in washington would be if saudi arabia and iran became friends some people said that general custom so they money was carrying a note of some kind of discussion for better relations. what do you think is the future for saudi iran relations as the united states it seems seeks to support saudi arabia and. look at the moment the status of relations among the persian gulf littoral states. is i'm positive. that it's lower than what the nations in the region and the iranian nation deserve.

i believe that all nations should be friends who if the relations among the nations in the persian gulf region and especially between iran and saudi arabia are founded on justice respect brotherhood and friendship. the situation in the region will totally change. i believe that under such circumstances the regional nations will get the chance to play their historical role. of spreading peace brotherhood and security worldwide intro regional competition and conflict will harm everyone. there will be no winners inside the region. the only winners will be the enemies of the regional

states. as a basic strategy. i think the persian gulf literal states. should be totally united. and their unity is quite vital for the region and the world. of course the meddling of extra regional powers. has always caused some problems. and i hope the leaders of the countries act more stupidly. and overt differences and conflicts among themselves. i once again reiterate that the role of iran and saudi arabia in the region is key and pivotal. if they stand together all regional nations including the nations of iran and saudi arabia will benefit from it. and consequently other regional nations will be able to play

a more positive and constructive role in international relations. in my opinion that question should be asked this way. while the basic rule in relations among nations is friendship and brotherhood why should some individuals have nightmares about the friendship of 2 nations. and we look for the root cause of all the problems in the sensitive region of the middle east in such bogus nightmares. you might want to say why you think some might see it as a mag for washington over president ahmadinejad's i'll stop you there more from the former iranian president after this short break.

remembering more on this edition of the program we explain why the russians have an aversion to war contrary to what is said in the west. at the recent g 7 foreign ministers meeting russia was declared reckless and expressed it was really reckless in the press. americans love buying homes. and this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country a large understood the bargain you get a hoe and then you know rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history l.a.

housings man in the united states not just that old question of the american dream but the bigger question if you the dream is then for. welcome back to this special edition of going underground with the whole the iranian president mahmoud i'm going to juggle you this week you all trumps outgoing secretary of state mike will pay i mean some extraordinary claims about iran hosting al qaida claims were instantly dismissed all around the world al qaeda has a new home base it is the islamic republic of iran as a result it lauds wicked creation is poised to gain strength and capabilities we ignore this iran a qaeda nexus at our own peril we need to acknowledge it we must confront it indeed

we must defeat it and a letter from bin laden. found by the navy seals during the about about race sums up the relationship since 911 very well in his own words quote iran is our main artery for fun's personnel and communication there is no need to fight with iran unless you are forced to and give you some information that is brand new to the public today ron decided to allow it to establish a new operational headquarters on the condition that al qaeda operates abide by the regimes rules governing our kind of stay inside of the country agency and control since 2015 iran has also given a kind of leaders greater freedom of movement inside of iran under their supervision the iranian ministry of intelligence and security and the arabs you see have provided safe havens and logistical support things like travel documents id

cards passports that enable al qaeda activity as a result of this assistance a kind of has centralize its leadership inside of tehran i'm an al-zawahiri is deputies are there today and frankly they're living a normal life tehran has allowed al qaeda to fundraise to really communicate with al qaeda members around the world and to perform many other functions that were previously directed from afghanistan or pakistan. to now has time because they're inside iran they have access to money they have a range of iranian support they now have new tools for terror you now have the world's state largest state sponsor of terrorism islamic republic of iran as the home base for al qaeda their partners in terrorism partners and make this axis poses a grave threat to the security of nations and to the american homeland itself i

would say iran is indeed the new afghanistan as the key geographic up for al qaeda . but it's actually worse unlike in afghanistan when i was hiding in the mountains okayed it today is operating underneath the hard shell of the iranian regime protection while i'm still here with the former president of iran dr mahmoud ahmadinejad as we just heard if someone is watching this interview in a nato country they will know that their main media tells them your country is not a democracy it is executing people human rights violations it is. a brutal country that funds terrorism all around the region when you say to people who watch that on the news every day with iran is mentioned. the right to determine one's fate is a god given right. and no individual group or power or under any

circumstances of the honeyed even in the name of providing security is allowed to limit or deny that right. i would this is what happened in the world recently it's of and you made a mention of them through the bushes in washington and elsewhere this should show that we have a long way to go before we achieve true democracy i need. to talk throughout history. the philosophy of forming governments. has been so provide security and freedom to nations in the let's hug. more however about harmony. on the pretext of providing security. and then more rulers have practically turning to obstacles to freedom and security for

nation it's. just han the world is in need of a new thought that's had he no vision and plan the asta. what sort of plan is is that you have elections coming up of course in iran in a few months time. in different speeches i've announced parts of that plan and one in which it's the will of the nations that's truly ruling all unity of relations are based on humanity friendship and kindness the monopoly of power the monopoly of freedom the monopoly of wealth is annihilated. and in which power wealth and freedom is enjoyed by each and every human being on earth. across the world today. wealth power and freedom is controlled by a certain group of us. leading no chance for nations to be free. and

to breathe in an atmosphere of freedom and. this wish will very soon come true which. in every human being will attain their dignity. and deserve status. accorsi arabian's may i ask why didn't you do that last time when you were president of iran well i think iranians have access to me and can ask me that question directly ok well i got to ask we don't know whether the elections will be spun but it's notable that. company has said that british american big pharmacy vaccines. they could be dangerous for the iranian people he cited the french hiv contaminated blood scandal twitter took down a bit like donald trump how bad is coronavirus in iran and i know it's not as bad

as in britain capita but i understand that it is taking its toll that officials are constantly releasing the data on that. well we're getting some reports of coronavirus from yemen the world's worst humanitarian crisis according to the u.n. do you think the world has forgotten about yemen. i think the people of yemen. are bearing the brunt of pressure resulting from the greed and wickedness of others it should be openly stated that the people of yemen are being oppressed. their country's infrastructure is being destroyed the youth women and children are being killed poverty is spreading and their country is falling behind you.

from a human perspective i felt responsible. and wrote letters to the 2 parties involved in the conflict announcing my readiness to help resolve the problems and to end the war. i think we should all be worried. about the health and social life of the yemeni people. you see i know your road to saudi arabia is mohamed bin solomon but britain says it gives aid to yemen and has a strict weapons export regime and trains the they have already have trainers to train the saudi pilots so britain gives aid and weapons just.

anyone who starts a war in the world. or provokes a war. and fans the flames of a war. that has no doubt committed an act that's anti-human and unacceptable. anyone who perpetrate such an act for any purpose is condemned he didn't write to boris johnson but yes i wrote to the 2 parties and also to the un secretary general and asked the secretary general to pave the way for the establishment of peace. certainly brokering peace is a human responsibility anyone who can contribute should do so and anyone fanning the flames of war should stop with. i pray to god almighty to bestow upon all nations security. progress and peaceful coexistence the daughter all of us i'm still a money gave

a world exclusive interview to this program and she said that because of julian assange lunch who is imprisoned here in london we know she said that the us government was on the same side as al qaeda in syria what do you think about the case of julian assange and do you think that britain will kill him in jail here. sufficient information has not been published on the assignment issue and i'm not able to pass judgement on him. let me share my message with your viewers the situation of the world is currently and is beneath any human being more than half the world's population lives in poverty and the majority of the world's population lives under security threats and military pressure. the monopoly of power wealth and media has robbed nations and the

masses of opportunities. today the world is being managed according to the principles of political darwinism. what that means is that for some to be strong others would have to be weak. for some to be affluent. others should be poor. for some to have dignity. others should be humiliated to use. this ideology as anti-human. and has turned the world into a place where an arms race has jeopardized everyone security. and lead to a significant share of the nation's resources and wealth. being spent. on the purchase of armaments. and weapons have no other use than killing humans. in will do i'm opposed to this world management model.

out of them and believe that all nations and human beings. can live in friendship. about he some brotherhood. i have absolutely no one. should be seeking hegemony over others. or plundering others well. we should all endeavor to ensure the dignity of each and every member of humanity. for them to equally benefit from god given natural wealth. and for no one to be dominated by another bush we have to build the world. each human being can have dreams. where those dreams are materialized. and where they can unlock the endless talents that god has bestowed upon them before welcome a world where people serve each other where they are friends with one another and

where they are each other's companion. just one question finally. are you going to stand at the june election do you want to become president of iran yes or no in june i have already answered that question today there are more important issues before us and we should be thinking about them at the time of the elections there are issues that if necessary i will share with the people. i once again congratulate you and your colleagues and all nations. on the occasion of the new year and wish everyone well being. that simple when your favorite shows the last season will be back on the 12th of may with an end to the long term additions and a brand new look awfully still and you can watch all our interviews by subscribing to our you tube channel befalling us on all our social media.

but if you work for the team for the chairs. ready to go the idea of a major woman who has lost has to take a cue into it so all her. wish 90 through you that are saying no is no good because a lot of my think if you. let your little fish not go for the bill and want to push it then it is that they took the situation is that the worst of the outsourcing. stalled once this issue will. go off or just. get the. buyouts of too much. but you mean. why much as they should but they could be when you get out of the sky. senior she comes 3 soon but it's often

what she has and it's just. a clash of ideas a year leaders push back against washington's plan to waive coronavirus vaccine pay to its. thankless job with no prospects a new poll suggests 40 percent of french nurses want to change their profession amid the pandemic. medical personnel are exhausted salaries are miserable and people are starting to understand what is really going on. i am.
