the late mohammad sarwar rajaee, 20 years old devote yourself to collecting information and memories related to iran's martyrs. afghan jihad and afghan martyrs of holy defense participated in a book named blood. how many warriors did we have? then i saw what a significant number it was. if marum rajaei had not done this , it would have been buried under the dust of history and no one would ever understand. now the second book of khoonshariki book was published in 11 chapters with the research of pajman arab ali naseri, ali asghar mortezaei. art and literature. life is a part that neither war can erase nor displacement and strangeness. the art and literature of afghan muslim immigrants in iran is a good example for this claim. what was read was a part of the book khoon shreek do written by mohammad sarroor rajaee, which was collected by iranian writers and was published as a book in 319 pages. there are many unpublished works of this immigrant author, especially in the field of children and teenagers. mande will be released soon. sunny hosseini radio news agency. thank you for being w

so as you mentioned there, obviously anas sarwar , he there, obviously anas sarwar, he had put in hislas ross and the scottish conservatives, who say they will vote for that now. anas sarwar he said that it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when and it's untenable that the snp can assume that it can impose another unelected first minister in scotland to replace mr yousaf without an election . now douglas without an election. now douglas ross, obviously leader of the scottish conservatives, he said that well , you know, it wasn't that well, you know, it wasn't necessarily him seeing eye to eye with anas sarwar and a lot of things. ultimately he wants to support this labour motion because he wants to get rid of the scottish government quite simply and on top of that, he knows that he is in the brink of removing humza yousaf, of course, from his own vote of no confidence, which he lodged yesterday during qus. now confidence, which he lodged yesterday during qus . now they yesterday during qus. now they are almost the givens so into the more interesting territory. alba of course, the

here's mr sarwar.rian law, then they should not be sales of arms to israel. i clearly believe that there have been breaches of international law. it is a breach of international law to withhold food, electricity, medicine, essential supplies from the population. that's happening right now in gaza. it is in breach of international law to target schools, hospitals, aid workers. tragically, three uk nationals losing their lives in recent days which is in breach of international law. if international law has been breached there should not be sales of arms to israel. fast—food giant mcdonald's is to buy back all its israeli restaurants because of boycotts of the chain in response to the war in gaza. sales have slumped in many countries after the company's israel—based franchisee gave away thousands of free meals to israeli soldiers. emer mccarthy has more from the newsroom. mcdonald's says it has reached an agreement with local franchisee alonyal for the return of its 225 outlets across israel. it said in a

, their leader, anas sarwar, saying it is now a question of if not when.s or when, if not, if indeed. >> but let's go back to edinburgh and speak to gb news scotland reporter tony maguire. because i suppose, tony, there are a number of things on the table here. those, those two motions of no confidence next week, but also a cancelled speech from humza yousaf today. some words we're expecting from him this afternoon. it could all happen here. >> indeed. certainly we know that humza yousaf, he cancelled that humza yousaf, he cancelled that independence, labour market speech at strathclyde university and instead staying in his nafive and instead staying in his native dundee to speak about social housing. now we got a sense from the scottish government just before you came to me there to say that what the plan is that the scottish government is going to invest 600 million by 2425, including an £80 million uplift, to basically procure houses and to minimise the scottish homelessness problem. now, this isindeed homelessness problem. now, this is indeed quite a le

there's not that much difference politically between anas sarwar and humza yousaf. >> there isn't . >isn't. >> there is no i think well, i think it's about delivery. and the thing is that i was there in september 2014, on the night of the referendum, and we thought we were very nervous about what was going to happen. obviously it went from our point of view the right way. we saved the union, but then of course, they spent the next ten years when they should have spent it delivering for the people of scotland. they've spent it obsessed with the question of the referendum. he was talking about that even again today stuff he backed up. >> i mean, it's just a continuation of the hate crime bill. >> they got watered down and then they felt that they had no choice but to back it. but no, i think they will be. look, the biggest problem with the snp is they've spent a decade telling people the sun is shining, but eventually when people go outside, they realise it's raining and that's what's happenedin raining and that's what's happened in scotland. >> well, there we go. i mean, look, hey, i'l

sarwar sadat adeem, director of kindergartens in mehriz city, because the knowledge of education is more than the discussion of education, so it is better that the responsibility lies with education , we should not look at kindergartens and look at the center. it is a service, but these are important educational centers . another important point is that the process of getting permission from education is much faster and easier than ameneh welfare organization. a series of permits must be obtained from the judiciary until the permits are updated, and this is the reason tolerance. it has cost us a lot. the education organization does not have enough knowledge of children's issues and has neglected the training of teachers. there are no related experts and the ability to control this sector is beyond the power of education. we have stated many times that if the leadership order is to be implemented correctly, we need a separate deputy. well , thank you very much for reading the report. mr. khaliq nejad. mr. mohammadian says that when he was actually in charge of the kindergarten and prescho

anas sarwar. >> well, great work, zach.ou're finding those that have come as a result of the adverts and those that are organising the whole thing. i also read in the notes they're told if the police raid, say, claim the modern slavery act. >> well, actually that's a remarkable because that was actually one of the videos that was around tiktok, was flying around on tiktok, which has, advice for if you're in a cannabis farm and you get raided, what what's the site been hundreds of been viewed hundreds of thousands times, was posted thousands of times, was posted years ago. it's just all been up there and nobody has been doing anything about it. >> we have a police force. we have a border force. what are they doing, zach? well but this is the thing of like, social media. >> it's like they just don't seem there's well, there's certain parts of social media that they want to police. and then there's brazen criminality which that which all of a sudden that exists in kind of invisible exists in this kind of invisible spot that li

the scottish labour leader, anas sarwar, has called for a snap election.ry long ago the first minister said the bute house agreement was worth its weight in gold, why has the balance shifted? the weight in gold, why has the balance shifted? ., , ., ., ., , , shifted? the gold standard has been devalued in bute _ shifted? the gold standard has been devalued in bute house. _ shifted? the gold standard has been devalued in bute house. it - shifted? the gold standard has been devalued in bute house. it is - devalued in bute house. it is difficult to know exactly what happened. people are still trying to disentangle it from rumours and such that have been going around. late last night humza yousaf decided that he couldn't afford to wait around for the minority scottish green party to decide at its emergency general meeting next month that it was going to detach itself from the bute house agreement and end the coalition. he decided it was best to seize the initiative, take control and send the green ministers packing. it was a pretty ruthless exercise. they were

, and it looks scotland, sarwar, and it looks as if he'll probably lose it, therefore , he's sending begging therefore, he's sending begging letters to others to try and shore up his leadership. let's be honest, he's only been in office just a little over a yeah office just a little over a year. most of his time in office has been pretty disastrous . and has been pretty disastrous. and the person that has the deciding vote, nick, is ash regan, who's the alba mp who he famously said when she defected from his party to alba that it was no great loss to the snp. she defected, of course, because she didn't agree with his support of this gender self—identify location lunacy up in scotland, enabling men to claim that they're women and then go into prisons and all the rest of it. i mean, do you think that the snp is going to have a disastrous general election after all this? >> i think so there's all the indications of that, isn't it? it looks as though labour, that's another place that labour are going to be targeting in a major way, of course, and that's what win the election in scotland.

now, the scottish labour leader, anas sarwar, has warned the snp not do, as he put it, impose another scottish greens said they will not now support a motion of no confidence in humza yousaf as first minister this week. it says the party is satisfied now that he has announced his resignation. the rise, as we have been hearing, has begun, one name being mentioned as kate forbes, another is deputy first ministerjohn swinney, who has confirmed he is considering standing as mr yousaf�*s replacement, he said he was giving it careful consideration. continuing coverage throughout the afternoon on bbc news. tesla powers up in china — following a whirlwind trip to beijing, has elon musk won crucial backing for the compa ny�*s self—driving technology? and a roller—coaster ride for the yen — after falling to an over 30—year low, the japanese currency surges against the dollar following suspected intervention. welcome to world business report. let's start with tesla — the company's boss, elon musk, has left beijing, where he was on a surprise visit. in his second trip in less than a year, the tec

they're wanting to share anas sarwar. he's still after his election. of course, he put in that vote of no confidence as well as, you know, he thinks that this snp still completely incapable of leading the country. but interestingly, douglas ross, you know, speaking earlier on today and obviously leader of the scottish conservatives , he said scottish conservatives, he said it's clear humza yousaf has decided to jump. before he was pushed, as you say. but he also said we will continue to work tirelessly to hold the snp to account. now clearly he's not expecting us to go to an election any time soon. it may be that he's working to give the snp space to recalibrate now. john swinney, when he spoke to his earlier on today, certainly he said that, you know, he intends the snp to go into the next two years, 2026 is the next scottish election and it may well be that we will still have an snp government. well be that we will still have an snp government . however, an snp government. however, a minority by that point . minority by that point. >> okay, tony mcgu

for labour's point, anas sarwar , for labour's point, anas sarwar, the scottish labour leader, he's callinglection and that could happen from this if it goes the wrong way for the snp. the next election is due in may 2026 and no one foresaw any election in scotland before that period. to recap what happened patrick harvie, lorna slater they quit the cabinet. it, they've quit the so—called bute house agreement signed back in august 2021, and that came after an emergency cabinet meeting called by mr mr yousaf. there are 129 msps in the scottish parliament, 683 are snp msps, which means they need two more to have this majority in holyrood. they haven't got that. the question now is can snp , can the question now is can snp, can the snp get their policies through parliament or are they a lame duck administration? it all really hangs on what will be a very dramatic seven days in scottish politics. >> it seems that humza yousaf has really shot himself in the foot here. if he wanted to go about trying to create alliances issue by issue rather than a formal coalition in order to get a budget passed

but i think for anas sarwar, you know, his support has been growing.e's been a few by elections, parliamentary by elections, parliamentary by elections in scotland, the labour party have done very well in them and i think it's only good news for anas. if i were him, i'd be taking my advice from earlier. sit down and shut up and just let them. let them in—fight. >> the stars are massively aligning for labour as well. the collapse, i mean the collapse of the snp in scotland is just massive. >> good luck for them. i mean, this is huge, although actually some recent polls, the recent poll that gave the conservatives only 98 seats at the next election actually put the snp in a stronger position. >> this was , you know, using the >> this was, you know, using the methodology about the characteristics of people in all the different constituencies and actually gave a better result for the snp than other polls have been giving. so we'll see about that . but what's your about that. but what's your reaction, james, to what's going on in scotland? i mean , the on i

backing former deputy first minister john swinney for the top job, but scottish labour leader anas sarwarmr swinney is not the change. candidate john swinney has been at the heart of the snp government for the last 17 years. >> he's at the heart of the snp party. for the last 40 years he was the architect of the finance deals that broke local government. he was the worst education secretary in the history of the scottish parliament. he's the man that wrote and delivered the bute house agreement and now somehow wants to pretend he's the change candidate . candidate. >> two men have been charged with causing criminal damage to the famous sycamore gap tree in northumberland last year. now there was a national outcry when there was a national outcry when the much loved 200 year old tree, which stood in a dramatic dip on hadrian's wall, was found to have been felled . daniel to have been felled. daniel graham and adam carruthers have also been charged with causing criminal damage to the wall, and will appear at southeast northumberland magistrates court on the 15th of may. well. for more top s

anas sarwar making a video saying scottish labour will likely be voting with the scottish conservatives this vote of no confidence. so who does that leave us with? well, the scottish greens, who within the scottish greens, who within the last hour held a press conference here at holyrood to say that there are formal stablemates. well, they're going to be voting with the conservatives because they have lost faith in humza yousaf. that leaves one one msp, with the 64 msps voting with no confidence for the first minister. and that one msp is ash regan, former snp minister herself. she stepped down during the gender recognition reform debate and now she was essentially going to be the kingmaker in this scenario. so a lot happening here, and hopefully just came in under time. >> yeah, honestly couldn't , make >> yeah, honestly couldn't, make some of this stuff up, could you? but no, you're very good. your timing was spot on. that's tony mcguire. i'll leave you to go. enjoy the last rays of the sunshine. i mean, i thought it was quite interesting there where he said, humza yousaf was very sur

anas sarwar. that's his name, isn't it , scottish labour. yes. right. it, scottish labour. yes.ht. and so it's out of the frying pan into the other idiot. as the phrase goes. i had to tone down when i said online, but because we got a 5 am, moving on to the telegraph , nick, they got telegraph, nick, they got a different story. >> yes. >> yes. >> sorry, i feel i took over something. >> there's been a major breakthrough in in the, field of biological sex is a biological fact , nhs declares. fact, n hs declares. >> fact, nhs declares. >> i know this comes as news to you, simon, but listen up, buster, because sex is real. so the constitution updated every ten years. so, you know, that's probably why they've lagged behind a bit has now been updated because in 2021, you can still be placed in a single sex ward with someone who was pretending to be that sex because they identified as such. but now you can't because they've changed it, and which is a great thing . although some nhs a great thing. although some nhs leaders have raised concerns that the health service was being dragged i

in fact, it's worth saying that all the leaders of scotland's political parties , including anas sarwarluding anas sarwar of scottish labour, even alex cole—hamilton , came out first cole—hamilton, came out first minister's questions yesterday. leader of the scottish liberal democrats with something of a zinger, saying that now two clowns have left the clown car, but this circus goes on and indeed that circus must be an all week and a fantastical, because today, on friday, we are still left with a continuing sequence of events. humza yousaf was supposed to be delivering an independence speech at strathclyde university here in glasgow. that speech in the last hour has now been cancelled and it's understood that he is now considering his position. at first as first minister. in complete contrast to what was being reported this time. sorry, last night when he said that he was not considering his position . now, understandably, the backlash from this decision to drop the greens before essentially the greens could drop the scottish government, seems to have cascaded into something of an unst

in fact here is anas sarwar. the scottish labour sarwar.iterally actually yousaf , lord president. >> wait, the lord justice clerk white, every high court judge white, every high court judge white, the lord advocate white, every director of a department in scotland, white, every principal of a college or university in scotland. >> white. every headteacher in scotland. white. every editor of a news organisation in scotland. white. why? >> well, that is labour okay. has keir starmer come out against this law? not as far as i can tell. at the next election it is expected that labour, the snp, the lib dems and the greens will collectively have a massive majority in the house of commons in westminster. i bet we get this law rolled out in the rest of the united kingdom. your life, i think, is about to be policed by what rabid trans activists, lunatics and open activists, eco lunatics and open border fanatics deemed to be offensive. i have a two word response for those people, but of course i wouldn't want to offend them. let's get the thoughts my

i for one know that anas sarwar let me get this right.random research, they sent half their staff home, etc. etc. call centre 13% increase in productivity from those working from home. >> this is the paradox about changing working patterns that when you first introduce them, people are very enthusiastic about them. work better when it carries for bit. you find carries on for a bit. you find that working from home lowers, and again, i'd refer you to the i also, the research i also, which is the research that bosses. that says older bosses. >> those over the age of 60 and 50, people like you are very sceptical and younger bosses are much more tolerant of flexible working and therefore recruit the best because it's the best workers because it's competitive . competitive. >> i don't believe that for a moment. the best workers want to be working rather shirking. be working rather than shirking. >> they and therefore they >> and they and therefore they want be the office. want to be in the office. >> and i think most of them want to do half and

scottish labour leader anas sarwar says john swinney is not a candidate for change. >> john swinney hasf the snp government for the last 17 years. >> he's at the heart of the snp party for the last 40 years, he was the architect of the finance deals that broke local government. he was the worst education secretary in the history of the scottish parliament. he's the man that wrote and delivered the bute house agreement and now somehow wants to pretend he's the change candidate . candidate. >> now. police investigating the discovery of a headless torso at castle dale have named the victim after more body parts were found. 67 year old stuart everett. severed body parts were scattered in four different locations across greater manchester. it comes after two men appeared in court charged with his murder and hospital patients in england will have the right to request to be treated on single sex wards under proposed nhs changes , with under proposed nhs changes, with transgender people placed in rooms on their own. the measure is part of plans by the government to update the nhs constitution.

this is, this was not an snp creation in the anas sarwar. >> the labour leader, he's also done his ownch. >> he's basically a copy of humza yousaf. but yeah, the problem with it, what thought problem with it, what i thought when this is the problem when i read this is the problem with tyranny is that you with anarcho tyranny is that you have have the resources, have to have the resources, don't so they're don't you? yeah. so they're trying a narco tyranny, trying to do a narco tyranny, but got enough but they haven't got enough resources to terrorise the population. and that's probably why soviet union why things like the soviet union collapsed. these collapsed. at some point these things so absurd they things become so absurd they just the only thing things become so absurd they jlwas the only thing things become so absurd they jlwas thinking the only thing things become so absurd they jlwas thinking the onlis:hing things become so absurd they jlwas thinking the onlis who i was thinking as well is who i mean, terrible for mean, it's terrible for them because a high case because it's a

. >> you know, nana, i'm not surprised, actually, because the labour leader in scotland, anas sarwar,, is exactly the same as humza yousaf when it comes to these issues where actually mass censorship and this diversity, eqtu censorship and this diversity, equity and inclusion policies , equity and inclusion policies, which i deem to be racist policies in a country that in the last census was 96% white, that scotland . they're saying that scotland. they're saying that scotland. they're saying that there are too many white people in positions of power. well, it's 96% white. of course, there are going to be white people in positions of power, because that's makeup of the because that's the makeup of the country. but apparently that's racist and i would racist to say that. and i would fall foul of some hate crime legislation. >> well, he fell foul of his own hate legislation with that hate crime legislation with that exact speech, with mass reporting . reporting. >> yeah. on april 1st, everyone was but the was reporting him. but the labour leader said exactly the same thing the scottish s

that motion has been tabled by anas sarwar of labour.government. they haven't ruled out voting in favour of removing the snp government, so we could see in a few weeks an absolute implosion in holyrood and an early election. >> okay, olivia, thank you very much indeed. let's talk to the shadow minister for industry , shadow minister for industry, sarah jones, who joins us now. good to see you. this morning. is it is it time for parliamentary elections in scotland, do you think is that the way this has to go now? >> i think so, and i mean it just looks like for humza yousaf, now that it's a matter of when, not if, doesn't it. >> and i think that him going in and of itself won't deliver the change that scottish people need, it's time to put the question back to the people of scotland. let them decide what they think should happen. we've had chaos since all the stories emerged around nicola sturgeon , emerged around nicola sturgeon, and really, i think the public are fed up with political chaos across the uk as well as in scotland. i mean,

. >> welcome back to gb news anas sarwar good voices in my head, i'm dawn neesom and this is indeed gbio show now, david lammy, not often you agree with him. i should imagine, but shadow foreign secretary david lammy has had a go at some of his labour colleagues who want to get rid of the unite the union flag from their campaign materials . lammy their campaign materials. lammy said labour should proudly fly the national flag, saying we will never stand it down. but i want to ask why do some people have a problem with that union flag? let's see what our panel make of this one, she says, sitting in front of proudly in front of a union flag design. it's actually red, white and blue as well. i mean, that's not catching on these days, is it? we can have purple and pink, but you can't have red, white and blue, for once, i find blue, no. for once, i find myself in complete agreement with . with david lammy. >> i know, me too. and i was all ready to disagree. you see ready to disagree. when you see the words david lammy coming up right, never with the words david lammy coming up ri word never

now, within about an hour or two of that, we saw anas sarwar, leader of scottish labour, put out a tweethas no confidence in humza yousaf and the snp government. now, if we look a little bit at the numbers here, 129 msps, 63 of them are snp. now, if we combine the msps from scottish conservatives , labour, scottish conservatives, labour, lib dems then that brings us round about just below the number the snp have. so a lot of attention is currently being given on the greens , but many given on the greens, but many people think that actually the green party will they have to vote with the scottish conservatives to save any kind of face? and that means ash regan, scotland's own albas only msp and effectively leader of alba party and holyrood, with all of the power now just to remind you, ash regan, she left the government and not the snp, just the government. during the consultation period of the gender recognition reform bill and subsequently it was called the member not by her name. the member until she left the party. she has since obviously joined alba and she will be having quite a lot

, is a man that inspires a unique amount of comments in our inbox here, and the answer being anas sarwarin scotland as well, because he also stood up in parliament after the blm summer that we had in 2020, the black lives matter summer and gave a similar speech to humza yousafs white, white, white speech, which has gone viral around the internet. >> now , do you think, actually, >> now, do you think, actually, nothing's going to change in scotland because that's what some of the viewers are well, saying. well well, i never thought i'd be agreeing with matthew so much to what he said, but he's he's absolutely right. >> you know, it's over, he's not going to win that vote of no confidence. you don't adhere. and i'm not surprised he's not spoken to ash regan because when she left to go and join alba, he said she was no great loss to the snp. so i don't think she's going to be backing him any time soon. but you're right. you know, when it comes to an end and because of what matthew was saying, that, you know, the snp are focused far too much on just pushing independence. that's not something

so he's also taking on anas sarwar, the labour leader in the scottish parliament.some sort of wedge issue, with keir starmer. so i think it's, it's highly political and i'm sure jk rowling's, happy to have the support of the prime minister irrespective of the party, but there is bigger politics at play here, and i don't think it's enough for the labour party, at westminster to say we won't do this in england. they've already supported it in scotland , and supported it in scotland, and they're not saying they're going to repeal it. >> i mean, it's a very real possibility, that someone accuses jk rowling of inciting hatred , stirring up hatred, this hatred, stirring up hatred, this new offence and the scottish police do go after her. it's a very real possibility . very real possibility. >> well, there is, and jk rowling essentially is saying, that telling the truth about biological sex is not a hate crime. i think she's got a very strong case there, the difference, of course , is that difference, of course, is that when people start talking about genden when people s
