tehran the capital of iran in the one nine hundred seventy s. the city experienced a rapid transformation into a modern metropolis western consumer goods were readily available the surge in oil prices allowed the city to become a hug for international business and lifestyle. the only thing missing was a place to show modern art. empress. actively promoted culture and art in iran. because more. mccarthy. today she lives in paris she left iran for a life in exile on january sixteenth one thousand nine hundred seventy nine and headed to the city where she had studied architecture years earlier. art plays an important role in my life and without it my life would be empty the history of iran dates back thousands of years this is a civilization rich in art and culture and it has produced many extraordinary artists in various fields of art be it architecture poetry or literature. in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven there was festival of arts was founded at the behest of embers from raw. both iranian and international artists were invited to take p

birthday and the opening of the museum in tehran. the. vanguard artists from all over the world gave performances. he was working as a photographer in the museum. so you had me at that time it all seemed so new to me and somewhat bizarre never mind what it was like for the general public with no relation to it. on the pictures i took at that time you can see there stunned reactions while i was taking pictures i realized what a wide gulf there was between the guard elite and average citizens back so that was more than the population would accept at that time and i wanted to capture all the reactions both from the intellectuals who were taking part in the celebrations and from those who were observing the event from the outside and did not understand what was going on. the pictures. look back they have never been shown in public anything showing the monarchy had to be after the revolution and remain so to this day. and there is yet another reason why there are no pictures of the opening night. show. when the star rived he dipped his hand in

united states would be out of the deal and the french stance is it could remove the sanctions on tehran even the nuclear related sanctions with their secondary you know m. pacts on businesses all throughout the world wind tehran will be forced to comply with all its undertakings while it's inside to deal with the europeans so that would be the ultimate goal and the united states is trying to you know prove all to to forced iran to go for this option if not possible at least if iran drops the deal in a reciprocal action then they are trying to intimidate tehran to. you know increasing the level of their uranium enrichment and avoid using the new centrifuge machines so that's the basically a move in order to influence the calculations made by tehran what do you think of president trying to appoint such a controversial and hawkish think i do think that was a wise move on his part and will last well oh well of course not of course not because john bolton is known for starting wars and he has vowed not to start a war but that's his use if they tried to kill the deal nothing would be earned b

we have heard the anti-israel vitriol echoing out of tehran.e have seen its proxies pushing closer and closer to israel's borders. and we know exactly why iran continues to expand into syria and invest so much in prolonging bash ar al-assad's brutal dictatorship. iranian leaders transferring weapons to hezbollah seek to build a land bridge from tehran through baghdad and damascus to beirut. iran views the syrian battlefield as a laboratory for training iranian proxy forces devoted to a singular mission -- israel's destruction. and we know russia has helped enable iran's expansion in syria by prolonging assad's grip on power. hand in hand, criminal and terrorists, putin and assad have cleared a path for the iranian regime to expand its military footprint. make no mistake -- iran is building an advanced military presence in syria and we risk willfully disregarding this reality if we cling to a failed policy of negotiating with russia. that's precisely what we are doing if we continue to seek out agreements to de-escalate areas in syria. these agr

this maybe this is correct or liable as you said i think right now the major issue for the women in tehran is is the job and their social position suppose a woman is a minister this is more important or a virus minister or director general or a c.e.o. of a company this is more important for them then how they should dress either to cover their heads or to cover the rest of their bodies so i think this issue should be considered as it is you should not look at it from a cultural bias or culture and why most is different from card to iranian even before islam. iranian women are very much covered so why are so this is a cultural issue. we cannot formulate one prescription and impose it to war all countries yaar. well mr larijani you just said that we cannot formulate one prescription for all but i would argue that this is exactly what iran is doing at the moment one prescription for all women regardless of their cultural or religious background or of that preferences anyway i earlier this month a woman who removed her house karf and public was sentenced to two years in prison for attempting a

when i worked for state security in tehran for the kgb for many years a number of things happened iny time. in my post kgb life i recall the death of litvinenko, alexander, in london, who was poisoned by the russians and i know the reasons why.

for a few to refrain from the heat i think go through this wired know the issue for the women in tehran and iran as you know the number of educated women know superseding the men who are know they demand a job. they demand job and they demand the positions and i think they are very good environment so this is actual think if we should pave the way for the women of wrong for women in iran to acquire position hard standard of influence in the society which they are moving fast well but there there is yes and no then necessarily in contradiction president rouhani his office recently released their two thousand and fourteen report that according to which forty nine point eight percent of iranians oppose a government intervention to enforce the veil and in a democratic society i know that they're on considers itself a democracy almost half the population that is a number to be reckoned with are they likely to be reckoned with in iran while you know that the palling system could not replace the legal system if present draw news reaching the position of the should be a change in the law he sho

administration in iran surely that's a hawkish approach wrapped up in a dove ish approach by the tehran government because everyone was agreed when mr trump said he was going to pull the plug anyway on the iran nuclear deal everyone else said it is not a unilateral agreement it is a multilateral agreement and he simply cannot destroy it should. that's what the iranian government official said that's what the europeans are saying russia and china are saying the same thing the only problem we have is that the u.s. government is not listening to those top administration is not listening to the people inside the united states firing people like tellers and so we have a situation where what you just said is very true it is it is it is what it is it is and in this statement but we have tried as u.s. president so he is not following logic he is following his thinking and he is under the influence of neoconservatives in the united states is there a sense in which perhaps however this could be good news as much as partly because of this abrasive relationship that we understand now existed to the

of whate behind so much is bad is this radical tyranny in tehran. have a message for you today, it is a very simple one. we must stop iran, we will stop iran. [applause] when i last spoke here, i warned, tried to warn, the world about a nuclear deal that was a threat to the survival of israel, the security of the region, the piece of the world. i warned iran's regime had lied to the international community that it could not be trusted. i warned the deal gives iran a clear path toward developing a nuclear arsenal in little more than a decade. i warned that by removing iran's sanctions, the regime would not become more moderate and peaceful, but more extreme and the ledger and, much more -- and be ledger and, much more dangerous. that is exactly what has happened. here is what they are doing today. can you enlarge that? can you see that? is descending on our region. iran is building an aggressive empire. iran, iraq, syria, lebanan, gaza, yemen, more to come. now iran is seeking to build permanent military bases in syria. seeking to create a land bridg

or 11 times over the course of a year, year and a half before they started launching them against tehran and that gives you an example of if you're really serious about creating a new capability you have to do a lot of testing and they did it. they learned how to make that system work as a result. so people that argue, you know, not everyone holds the same set of requirements. yeah, that's true, but if you want to achieve something you cannot avoid doing the necessary number of tests. >> i can talk a little bit about intent because i think it's important. i don't think there's anything technical holding back the iranians from developing longer-range systems. i know they're going to run into problems and i actually completely agree with that, but i think if the government commits the resources and puts the political backing behind it. if you look at a time frame over a decade and maybe a little longer these challenges will probably be worked out and the reason why i say this is because i think it's pretty well established, particularly on the u.s. side is the data exchanges and the techni

that's tehran's effort to build a land bridge through syria to lebanon to supply hezbollah. what is the danger in that? how do we face the growing iranian threat on israel's borders? >> i think iran carefully calculated wait wanted come the defeat of the isis territorial caliphate. and unfortunately under president trump didn't do. iran has helped by arming and commanding iraq's military forces and the shiia militia and they linked up across iraq with the assad regime and created a new front line basically in the middle east. the fact is that we have got a de facto russian-iranian alliance manifest especially in syria. iran is building a new military base in damascus a few years ago. russians built a substantial new air base. they are working together. by all he persons, preparing for the next struggle against the sunni arabs in israel. eric: what can the trump administration do to push iran back? >> the oil-producing monarchies on the arabian peninsula are in disarray because of the continuing dispute "qatar and the gcc members. what comes down to with iran is their continu

like these are a common sight all year round producers from every province in the country travel to tehran trying to drum up more business here the nuclear deal has been good for iran's public image but not much else. to everybody and others the americans didn't let his realize our expectations in the shadow of fear hanging over the europeans from the u.s. has affected the implementation of the nuclear deal regarding the taking of office by trump it has made things worse a crazy man is that the top. other say they're worried that if the deal falls apart or if there's new sanctions imposed the few gains that have been made will be lost . a raw materials most to come from europe we don't have the same industrial steel in iran it's all imported from europe after the nuclear deal importing has been easier and there are more sanctions our industry will collapse at almost no cost to himself donald trump is costing iran dearly by scaring away potential investors well we're going to see what happens iran deal is coming up. it's. probably another month or so and you're going to see what i do try to

the force behind so much of what is bad is this radical tyranny in tehran. if i had message for you today, it's a simple one we must stop iran, we will stop iran when i last spoke here i warned or tried to warn the world about a nuclear tail that was a threat to the survival of israel, the security of the region the peace of the world i warned that iran's regime had large international community that it cannot be trusted. i warned the deal gives iran a clear path toward developing a nuclear arsenal a little more than a decade and i warned that by removing the iran sanctions their regime would not become more moderate and peaceful but more extreme and belligerent. much more dangerous. ladies and gentlemen, that is exactly what is happened. here's what iran is doing today. can you see that? darkness is descending on our region. iran is building an aggressive empire. syria, lebanon, gaza, lebanon more to come. now they're seeking to build permanent military bases in syria seeking to create a land bridge -- and in addition to moving its army comments air force a

particularly governments run by like kim jong-un's in north korea or the autocracy in tehran. their possession of nuclear weapons poses a threat to us, our friends and neighbors and international peace and security and that's why it's important to try to prevent these governments from getting nuclear weapons in the first place. because once they have them, the calculus changes dramatically. >> host: don't we have a different attitude towards india, pakistan and israel when it comes to nuclear weapons compared to what we think of korea and tehran? >> well, i think north korea is different from israel and i think that the idea that nuclear weapons in the hands of all states are fundamentally the same, it's just wrong. i trust israel with nuclear weapons, the same way i trust great britain with nuclear weapons. there are problem states that, like the situation between india and pakistan, because of the circumstances of those two countries. the wars they've fought since independence and the risk that a nuclear capable pakistan and india might have another military conflict that co

pulling out of the agreement to its side of mohammad marandi a politics professor at the university of tehran well it is possible that the united states will pull out of the deal we're not still sure because trump is so unpredictable i think it's quite obvious that the united states is discrediting itself the nuclear deal came after was that the result of the years of negotiations the united states by signing up to an agreement that the russians and the europeans and u.s. allies have been a part of the chinese as well by pulling out the americans are showing that they have no credibility whatsoever in the future no country in the world should take the negotiations with the united states seriously because they may come to some sort of an agreement with the americans and then ultimately the americans they will be demanding new concessions and they may pull out of the such an agreement. now facebook users are questioning the social media networks credibility after revelations that personal data was compromised r.t.s. and asia said he has more. deletes facebook is the hashtag that's been trending

on the streets of tehran the atmosphere is festive but when asked about their hopes for the future it's all about the economy. now that people want to increase their purchasing power and have more money in their hands and have lower prices the other problem is unemployment that should be resolved we need more jobs i'm wondering what the answer is to all these questions. this issue very much so. i want iranian youth myself to have an easier and more comfortable way of living from the economic perspective for people to have more income. iran's leaders had hoped the twenty fifty nuclear deal would boost their economy but relations with the united states have fallen apart since donald trump became u.s. president so that has not happened nor was it a happy time in iran when people look to the future and hoping that the year to comedy is more prosperous but this year iranians are celebrating the persian new year at a time of political and economic uncertainty. in an effort to lift spirits passers by are offered free hugs and encouraged to smile. most are happy to oblige . but a few moments af

when i worked for state security in tehran for the kgb for many years a number of things happened incall the death of litvinenko, alexander, in london, who was poisoned by the russians and i know the reasons why. actually i talked to him from washington, i call him some six months before he passed away and i told him, alexander, you shouldn't be talking about russia and putin, who he knew quite well, because he may be in trouble. six months later litvinenko was dead. this is a somewhat different case. i do not see the trace of russian security services because they would act, as far as i know, more skilfully. in this case it looks like a kind of... well, it looks like military intelligence involvement. on the other hand, the military intelligence in russia were never authorised to conduct operations of this nature abroad, so it's really still a puzzling case and we will have to watch the investigation conducted now by the british government, and then it will pass more less to get an answer about what happened. in your assessment there isn't any rationale for this happening, there isn
