islam see about this islamic the number of people given area is thompson to do is the resources exist in their. area being one of the 4 for this nation in africa has abundant resources that can for everton but we have been serious problem based management this is why things are going that we are seeing it. as far as religion is concerned you can have many children so long as you can take care of them all what are you trying to say in islam. that is the court has the will of the teton number of children that 1 may get because he his actions his books and what type you is welcome. to collate it then you cannot have a mistake in what. this is why eve you have to know much of the number of children if there is good governance there would be no problem let me come back to the director general and media at the governor's office we are hearing that you are actually the reason why overpopulation could be a problem it's not the number of people that's a problem it's the fact that you are mismanaging the resources that are being a nigerian as a country. in terms of quality population data if you do a top quality pollution due to there is noone we you can plan for the people you misgovernance. please rule in the type of population we have in the quality of population we have what do you mean the quality of population. of quality population an educated. population that can initiate ideas for the good of the general society let me c

a point of correction the what i said is almost contrary to what she said because i believe in islam islam does not allow you to marry more than what you can afford. you either. if you cannot even if you cannot marry one you are instructed to fast. but the issue of having law like they are seen they are trying to impose on those who are able to produce because a law is so generous. so this is what i want people to know this is why the law is having problem in house of assembly is national assembly is because you come up with a law packed lead religiously accepted partly religiously not accepted so this is why if people are allowed to come up that will be in line was a religion even the issue of but surely should the law be secular it should be biased i mean unbiased so that it can be followed by people of war all walks of life we incur no we have the right to operate our according to the dictates of our culture and that cannot be in line with those who are not like this so this is way house of assembly is it going if you have us laws that has some contrasts in it cannot pass so what then h

islamics islamic summit in kuala lumpur talking about the economy economic stagnation his plans for qatar's economic development talking there about extremism as well warning that extremism comes from a lack of confidence and also saying that extremism of course happens everywhere that meeting in kuala lumpur of islamic leaders believe that then continue to follow that throughout the day. and i. just go back to you just listening there to what the cat hour of the mirror has been saying particularly talking about what he sees as the role of religion in the world in dealing with issues of extremism. right that's exactly one of the the the central points themes of this discussion of this summit mahathir mohamad the prime minister of malaysia he said although we're not here to discuss religion but we are here to look at what's wrong what one wrong for the islamic world that caused this amount of problems but the top been around for a long time and we haven't been able to solve them so both leaders in their speeches have tried to tackle that issue they talked about terrorism they talked about fanaticism within islam and the need for muslims to look at that issue and address it as just one of the of several issues they that they approach in this summit is a little bit different from what we have seen durin

islam which began in egypt a century ago and officially recognized by establishing an islamic government and iran in 79 has lost its legitimacy by the iranian iraqis and others. we have witnessed the collapse of -- apartheid south africa, soviet communists in the last century, and today come in the future we will put an end to political islam and to the islamic regime in islam with the people of iran also solidarity with the people of iraq and lebanon. in the name of all people who were killed in prison for freedom, for the dignity and peace and iran we call with my friends here, we call upon the leaders of the united states and the free world who suffer the struggle for the people of a rant against this kleptocratic regime, through this strong and firm action the following, as the following. the axis of our incumbent to satellite by any sort of service must be disconnected. this will create immediate problem for banking resources and the rent and also will stop the islamic regimes armed dissident from reaching iranian cities. the islamic republic of iran broadcast and its affiliates which hold state monopoly on broadcast news within a rant must man from operating in the free world. the iranian -- we hope the iranian ambassador in general must be summoned, questioned and admonish of the relations of human rights against ir

the level and activity of the islamic republican -- islamic republic drives toward working to eradicate what you just described. what we have advocated for inside the islamic republic is a change in the behavior of the regime, a change that permits people to engage in commerce, hard -- to engage in commerce take care of their , families, and have normal press freedoms. that has been the policy for the entire time of the trump administration. those reports remind me that our work is not complete. >> two questions. one on turkey. now that turkey is testing the 400, it looked to be on f-16s is , that cause for concern? will the u.s. take any action in response, possibly levying sanctions? do you believe the u.s. and ukraine should investigate the theory that it was ukraine, not russia, that hack to the dnc emails? secy. pompeo: anytime there is an indication that indicates any country has messed with american elections, we not only have a right but a duty to make sure we chase that down. i served as the cia director for the first year and a half of this administration. i can assure you there were many countries actively engaged in trying to undermine american

islamic state. the turks are worried about other things. they are far more worried about kurdish terrorism than they are worried about the islamic state. so if helping works, they will help. but if helping gets us, fight the islamic state gets crossword with ac stronger threat are interested will not be helpful. turks are really feeling their oats along the expansion of the influence. this is like turkish policy 2.0 because they had the sort of saint you right after the breakup of the soviet union, all muslim countries in central asia and they found, it was, the lift was way heavier than they had the capacity to undertake. now they are trying some of that again and again i think they are going to find that their ambitions, their reach i think exceeds their grasp. >> i would add there's an internal dynamic, president erdogan came to power his first seven seven, eight years in power were sort of pentasa, best ruler and modern turkey could imagine. he really did bring an enormous difference for turkey. someplace along the line whether it's miscalculation or something, he has had problems. themselvess reflect in election results, oakley election results.ct they have not gone well for him, and like most guys come most

iran in our faces are competing for the crown of militant islam one calls itself the islamic republic the other calls itself the islamic state. both want to impose a militant islamic empire 1st on the region and then on the entire world they just disagree among themselves who will be the ruler of the. in this deadly game of thrones there is no place for america. today after 2 years of negotiations the united states together were international partners has achieved something the decades of animosity has not a comprehensive long term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon this was a very difficult negotiations. part of it is because the. french and compounded mistrust that may have been between ourselves for. last 34 decades but i'm happy that the reason people at diplomacy pretty great people exercise great the look restraint and patience and vision beyond maybe automatic hope this will be a good beginning. as this nuclear deal goes through we're still dealing with the problem that the states of this region are collapsing and they're void that they will fail you will see more violence and yo

islamic terrorism. are aeve that uyghurs victim of islamic terrorism. islamic extremist groups that i consider to be extraordinarily selfish in addition to being islent, what they have done to cast aspersions over the entire islamic religion which is wrong, which is entirely wrong. xiyou look at what president said in his speeches, he views this as counterterrorism. wrong because that is not a problem in uyghur society. that is what he has in his private speeches presented as. what i am saying is that one reason that many chinese people hold deeply islamic public s, manynts towards uyghur countries and populations in the world have been less than kind or week in the defense of muslims because of the deeply harmful thing that islamic extremist in the world have done. >> this is a good question for you as a lawyer from our audience. a certain percentage of people in the camps have already been sentenced with heavy imprisonment, like my nephew and brother-in-law. now my brother is facing a court , should the u.s. government or any legal entities highlight this iss

islam. islam is one of the world's great monotheistics, and shares a great deal with christianity and judaism, and nowhere in islam as i understand it is such an action as taken in teheran is permissible. >> patrick in minnesota, good morning. >> caller: thank you, gentleman for addressing an important topic, and so, answering it in the past segment to quite the extent, and i was 17 years old in madison, wisconsin, going on 18, and the flavor of the culture of the country, and the time line was just horrible, and the economy was in shambles and the pride was in tatters. the kids going into college, and wondering where we stood and why we stood where and it was really in conflict and in complete ambiguity, but my question was what the answer was who was to really be credited here. with the axis of the carter administration, and the hard work that the one individual mentioned or was it reagan, you know, positioning himself to capitalize on this or just happenstance that they collided at the same time? the question got answered, but where are we now in history on what it seems like carter still seems it feel like the

islamic story in greatest sorrow was operating in the border zone between nigeria and mali it has been basically included into the islamic state of western africa and the there's a lot of speculations why it might be that the islamic state centrally want to strongly control the fuel if you live the former hiram fraction of the islamic state in west africa is stronger than their all islamic state in greater samarra but we don't know really what these corporation mean so far we don't know if it's directly controlled if it's just a name what we can see though is that the islamic state in africa the former part that was islamic state in great just our house because much more efficient in the border areas between the mali and niger we can see larger scale attacks coming from that organization against also larger military formations know. as you've said neither negotiations nor military operations have managed to restore security so what else needs to happen at this stage and how can the international community secure the saddle. ok what the international community needs to do is really to share the burden and the burden is not just to believe that not to trust the africans of course it's it's easy to believe that they

islam. i'm sorry. islam is one of the world's great monotheistic religions, shares a great deal with christianity and judaism, and nowhere in islamas i understand it, is such an action as was taken in tehran permitted. >> patrick in minnesota, good morning. >> thank you, gentlemen. my question was and it was answered in the past segment to quite an extent the flavor of the culture, the country, the timeline was horrible. the economy was in shambles. pride was in tatters. kids were going into college wondering where we stood, why we stood. my question was who was to be credited? the carter administration in all it's hard work that the individual just mentioned its hard work that the individual just mentioned, or just happenstance that they collided at the same time and i think the question got answered. but where are we in history? it seems like carter's still seems to be the deemed failure in this and reagan seems to be the dean savior. deemed savior. >> which is outlined in stuart eizenstat's book. >> he is deemed a success because the hostages were released when he was inaugurated after president carter had negotiated it. i wan

islam sooner pottle islam he had always dreamt of you know state in the sharia law which ruled a very important part of it was the rights of women the family law and everything that was why he had been sent into exile because he had objected to the right of women to vote. on french television khomeini was asked who would really run when the shah was gone morning. show very. no no it won't be me will choose a council and in this council there will be a parliament elected by universal suffrage. that is the big lie here but the majority at the time they believe it they said ok this is very good the unity between all part of the society together for changing the system. to be to show there were people out on the streets with with placards saying they show left show the show has gone shot the show has left and they very thing and it was just an expression of. we were in a group we were always in the streets the streets were absolutely packed and there was a huge sense of solidarity all this had quite a euphoric in fact i saw. it meeting. and i was standing outside tehran university with some other people in a lie to watch this and then this man sitting standing next to me a working class man stretched out his hand and held my hand and he said now we are one and the same people. that force the spirit of giving for. sister porn and the army and the police and the secret police and all of them they were not effective. there was absolutely no power from above imposed on the population so it was totally free everybody was so. friendly to each other everybody was helping ensure everybody was caring for a dog and this. took. i know that you might not pick out more we should see in the name of god now after 4 months of living in france. i am leaving here to serve my country. cynicism it's also necessary to express my gratitude to the french government and people for providing me with security measures and freedom of expression. while ayatollah khamenei was taking off from paris 9000 kilometers away another plane had another cleric on board the newly elected pope john paul the 2nd he was on his way back from his 1st papal visit abroad in mexico the pope had unequivocally rejected the in his eyes marxist content of the liberation theology that was challenging the catholic church in latin america but he was careful to avoid revealing to the media that he planned to launch his true crusade against communism in his native country of potent. you. both inside knowing people have no hope he was. very many years after the war but communism had been around for so many years the shock for him to life was hard everything was a problem. and a condemnation you had very few believers in common man anymore in front of. people and because people have no illusions. but rather feel that even though it became a big mind over time. but still ultimate force. kept the system and i intimidation linked to this. there are 2 programs in the polls. we all listen to news at 7 30 in the evening i think. this was a common a strong you know state run going communist a propaganda machine. you know you listen to it just with one ear and i never believe tough and then something in the middle of the news they said that opposes being chosen as the pope. and that's what i mean why is picked up i thought a polish pope i think mainly because not so much of the religious it was nationalist the national. he was received in poland this is my impression obviously leader of the catholic church but as the most prominent people. in the world. we had the party membership card but each of us was also in our soul a pole. and all of a sudden you know it was unprecedented appalled to become pope and would sit on the throne of st peter. it was extraordinary and we had such a feeling of pride. but there was also a sense that this would become a big problem for the leadership. for the do all those are probably. on the other side of the world a giant was beginning to awaken from it slumber. done shopping have been a fellow revolutionary of mouths they don't he had been arrested during the cultural revolution but was now taking control of the chinese communist party when i arrived in beijing in the apartment which my family and i. occupied looked out on to the great multi-lane highway of the avenue of eternal peace and every morning i would watch the banner women going to work. like so many people in china living a zombie like existence. once don't become. paramount leader he never took the position of prime minister he wanted to be the power behind the throne but nobody could doubt that he was the supremes rule of china. by the late 1970 s. the party slogans no longer revolved around communism the new slogan was the 4 modernizations meaning national defense industry agriculture and science and technology this modernization was intended to appeal to the chinese people. yes little chinese people were no longer interested in communist ideals deng xiaoping knew this and understood the party had to offer something to unite people that's why he announced this modernization catching up with the west he also east political tensions with the u.s. and the west that formula was a way to preserve the communist party's rule. you're. done shopping as a pragmatic nationalist wanted the strategic strength and a lot and friendship of the united states in case the soviet union try to use its superior military power to intervene in chinese politics u.s. policy toward the soviet union after world war 2 was basically formulated by george kennan diplomat is signed to the u.s. embassy in moscow. his can scan sept of containment was that if the serviette union or walled off and left to its own devices its system had so many defects that it would ultimately collapse and so we began a process that led to a decision on our side to normalize relations with china the united states of america and the people the public of china have agreed to recognize each other and to establish diplomatic relations as of january the 1st 1979. the united states recognizes the government of the people the public of china as is so legal government china both believe that normalization of sino american relations is not only in the interest of the chinese and american people but also contributes to the cause of peace in asia and in the world i am pleased to announce that vice premier. accepted my invitation. and workers in. happy. happy. happy. and early 979 britain was suffering one of the coldest winters in its history. even worse with a protracted strikes that were undermining the government of prime minister james callaghan. september 11th was on a quest for part of his that this really was margaret thatcher who'd become leader of the conservative policy for years and yet and now intended to take advantage of a neighbor policy in disarray so if you ask whether the next conservative government will cut controls and regulations and keep interference in people's lives to a minimum my answer is yes that's exactly what it should. be called so right in the general election of 179 because in the winter of 17870. all the stripes all came together under a labor camp. there was a perfect position to be in to say this because you want to move because of a country like. this creature or the cold my nation in mourning tomorrow loosely called the british with it's all going to. with me refuge in the streets. to look at what clearing dust where we refuse to place a wood hospital porters standing at the gate so hospital 30 people were told think we're helping. and the government could let the people they have until they do it to the. most dramatic of all has to be. the bodies of the dead couldn't be about it because the crippled workers are on strike i think from that moment the election of a conservative government has to stop a bull she did always want to be prime minister but she thought if she said it everyone would laugh at her because it just seemed too remote a possibility when she was a young woman the most famous definition of democracy is government of the people by you know people for the people. not government office section of the people by a section of the people or a section of the pm. one of the most impressive things about margaret thatcher is you never saw her in anything except the most immaculate. condition and it was that men don't really have to think about this and every will read suits. have and that's about it but for women it's a totally different challenge she understood that the men were a club and they would support one another if they did something stupid. but the women weren't and if they did something stupid they were out she saw ritual as a battle she said there's no 2nd chance for a woman lonely hard to find an example of margaret thatcher ever admitting that she was wrong you don't admit you've changed your mind you get on with it change your mind but you never give any ground chairs that was a definite view of how you can be a leader if you are 2 people really there was the guts thatcher which reacted in a very typical way was sort of the producer of the reason and there was the thinking factor it took a bit of time to get past the 1st one to address the certain one but you had to learn to do it. if you say the thing in her eyes that was missing was the understanding not society's not entirely composed of achievers and there are 203035 percent of people who are not going to be very happy or not enjoying their jobs and generally unable to cope and who need the help of a society which is generous towards those who are less advantaged that was her weakness so you know the answer is simple in carriage them to work harder and they will encourage them to produce the right sort of goods and they will and then we too will be able once again to join the 1st division of nations don't just hope for a better life vote for one. on his return flight back to iran ayatollah khamenei surrounded himself with journalists a strategy that would ensure worldwide coverage of the event and help safeguard him from attack by any remaining royalists to the shah. the old after 15 years in exile khamenei was eager to finally accomplish a plan he had concealed from the wider world. when we needed a i didn't know anything about khamenei really we wanted the revolution to continue its course for us it was a huge moment in history i was interested in the enormous welcome he received. and i was hoping he'd go back to calm and stay there very averse that was me instead of people going to copy it was they were as much these people i think i was thinking maybe i will still be religious but you have to remember that a large number of them went and will continue because of what he had promised he had promised coach democracy quebec was the only for me it was an effect he had so what. was in the name of allah the gracious the merciful in the beginning was the name of allah. but allah rejects the corruptible. happy is the true believer. to the enemy of all its people and the religion of allah. can't keep up a little there was a great deal of laughter because his persian was not very good or maybe it was his own version. he blended it with language from the qur'an on food he was shaping his own image and perhaps that was really who he was. for us at least it was very exotic that was our impression of him and in a way it also showed us what the people were like to look loose he has told them he will give the country freedom of course he won't give the country freedom and then these people will turn against him exactly as they turned against the shah you know that experience was there was so fresh in our mind so we were hopeful. we were sad cassock torch there that was a fatal mistake little by little happened that khomeini and islamic actually people became to depart or leg bush the left was not demanding democracy. and for various reasons this rejection of democracy was the same spirit that made it easy for the islamists to gain power you gain your 1st one more look it up. then was sowing all over them with ration from certain time that are coming to remain also. door and also the scar fronts on he looked up with his job. this sawing talking to everybody for the unity of the struggle they women have to wear the huge oil and they offered them also in this truth of the tear on into the most patient who were jews that the veil worn by these women it seemed acceptable since they were all women of the people it was as if the veil had become something belonging to the women of the people and that was a disaster. catastrophe i think everybody was aware that there would be a confrontation but we were almost convinced or not almost definitely convinced that leave with the victors. because we where the revolution. in the ca

islamic state, she was a woman in her 30s. she had been a member of the irish defence voices, somebody with military training. she became disillusioned with her life. in 2011 she converted to islam and then in 2015 she made the decision to leave her husband and go andjoin the decision to leave her husband and go and join the islamicnow, she resurfaced again in the summer of this year, when the islamic state was collapsing she was held by us backed forces in syria. she was in the refugee camp and at that time the bbc caught up with her in that camp and asked her what she had been doing while she was with islamic state and she denied that she had better military skills to any offensive use. lisa smith is now in the custody of the irish police and they will of course be testing that story of hers, about what she did during those four years in syria. they will clearly wa nt those four years in syria. they will clearly want to know in detail who exactly clearly want to know in detail who exa ctly s he clearly want to know in detail who exactly she was west, where she was with and what she did. now, irish place, they can water about three days before they have to make some sort of decision on charge release. john, thank you very much. the secretary general of the un, antonio guterres, has called for greater political w

did for example that he was the main state supporter of the islamic state that he helped the islamic state that he never fought against the islamic state that he used w.m.c. even in cases where scientists actually disagree it came up in firstly this pro regime change crowd made it seem as if the rebels fighting assad were more moderate than they actually were not so for example it's been very embarrassing to them with all of the additional evidence that the rebels were interfacing with very radical salafi jihadists groups like al qaida and that was even cooperation between the rebels which the international community supported and the higher level isis leaders including baghdad and some of the more time goes on the more evidence are emerging to the more it becomes difficult to claim you know assad of all evil in the rebels' war all good and some much murkier picture where some of the allegations against assad have been revealed to be maximum true and we're learning more about the rebel opposition which have them in a much more extreme life. max thanks very much for sharing your research an investigation into this over the course

islam. while 17%, they say islam does not prohibit the development of nuclear weapons. interestingly, only 18% of iranians didn't have an opinion about what islam says, which shows a very confident people about islam. the last point, iranians are not categorically against negotiations with the trump administration. when we gave them this option, if the united states returns to the jcpoa, leaves all sanctions related to iran's nuclear program, and is willing to talk in a forum that includes all the p-5 plus 1 countries, under such condition, to what degree would you support or oppose iran holding the meetings? they were supportive. the future does have some hope for us. thank you.

islamic terrorism. i believe that uyghurs in a way a victim of islamic terrorism because what islamic extremist groups iconsider to be extraordinarily selfish in addition to being violent, what neve done in part what they have done is to cast aspersions over the entire islamic religion, which is wrong. which is entirely wrong. if you look at what xi jinping said, he in his mind at least in his part views this as counterterrorism. that is -- that is deeply wrong because that's not a problem in uyghur society particularly, that's not what this is. but that is what he has in his private speeches presented it as. so, what i'm saying is that one reason that many chinese people hold deeply islamophobic sentiment towards uyghurs, and many countries in the world and generally populations in the world have been less inclined to leap to the defense of muslims is because of the deeply harmful things that islamic extremists in the world have done. >> this is a good question for you, as a lawyer, from our audience, a certain percentage of people in the camps have already been sentenced with heavy imprisonment, like
