[00:00:00] It's not just that someone can do something, we [00:00:02] can decide, from any [00:00:05] border and from any land and with any [00:00:09] one, we can solve some of our problems [00:00:12] and within the country, we can increase [00:00:16] our productivity, improve our quality [00:00:19] and our technology. Try to get better, try [00:00:23] to be superior, try [00:00:25] to be more stable, let's hold hands. [00:00:30] Whoever is talking nonsense, the world [00:00:34] we live in is all based on evidence. [00:00:38] I have said many times that in medicine, we have evidence-based [00:00:42] medicine. It's [00:00:46] all, all evidence. [00:00:49] All decisions are based on logical [00:00:53] reasons. It's not like I force my opinion, the right is with [00:00:56] whoever speaks the truth, and I [00:01:30] blurt out whatever comes to my mind. These are things that [00:01:33] need to be managed. I thank [00:01:37] you, dear ones. I wish you success. [00:01:41] But we are not worthy here. [00:01:44] We must get out of here. Our agriculture, [00:01:48] our quality, our productivity, our water, [00:01:50] our land, all of these can be made better than they are. [00:01:54] Connect with universities, involve professors. [00:01:57] I swear, if they come to help, you won't [00:02:01] lose. It's not interference in your affairs. It's that I go [00:02:04] to a scientist, to a university and say, "Sir, tell me what [00:02:07] to do." He knows the theory, you know the practice. [00:02:11] Help each other to make the theory and practice superior. [00:02:15] See how our universities and yours [00:02:18] are better than foreign countries in terms of higher [00:02:21] productivity and better quality, and learn from [00:02:25] them. You won't lose. See and make [00:02:28] it better. [00:02:31] This is what you and I can do. Anyway, I [00:02:35] thank you, I wish you strength, I praise your efforts, but [00:02:38] for future efforts, more [00:02:41] effort must be made. And peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings. [00:03:30] They face many problems both in terms of facilities and equipment [00:03:34] and in terms of educational content. On the other hand, the social [00:03:37] and economic situation of the students themselves is not very good, [00:03:41] and many of them really cannot cope with the ever-increasing [00:03:45] cost of living. In my opinion, the main demand of the protesters is that austerity [00:03:48] policies should be ended. More investment should be made [00:03:52] in schools, and the living conditions of people in general [00:03:56] should improve. In fact, a significant part of the protests [00:04:00] is due to the unfavorable educational conditions and the poor [00:04:03] state of schools. In addition to these issues, there are also more general economic [00:04:07] problems in France, including the poor financial situation of the government [00:04:11] and the high price of fuel, which puts a lot of pressure on people. Therefore, [00:04:14] reducing these pressures is also one of the main demands [00:04:17] of the protesters. Another issue is how the police deal [00:04:21] with the protests. The police deal very harshly with these students, [00:04:24] and many cases of violence against protesters [00:04:28] have been reported. There [00:04:46] is a big gap between public and private schools. A significant [00:04:50] portion of private schools have better facilities [00:04:53] and educational conditions, while many public schools [00:04:57] face a shortage of facilities and infrastructural problems. [00:05:00] In some regions of France, the situation is even [00:05:03] worse. However, I think overall, the conditions of public [00:05:07] schools are poor almost throughout [00:05:10] the country. But the positive point we are seeing now is the formation [00:05:14] of a kind of solidarity among students from different [00:05:17] schools. Even students who study in more privileged schools [00:05:21] with better conditions have joined the protests. In my opinion, [00:05:24] this solidarity is a very good sign because it shows [00:05:28] that more students want to change [00:05:31] the situation. Why doesn't the French government allocate [00:05:35] more budget for education so that schools can be renovated [00:05:38] or teachers can be paid more? [00:05:46] Well, I think the priorities of the French government are different from the demands of the protesters. One of [00:05:50] the main priorities of the government is to strengthen the country's [00:05:53] military capability and allocate large budgets to the army. While [00:05:57] schools face a lack of facilities and many students [00:06:00] study in poor conditions, the government still [00:06:04] spends a significant portion of its resources on military [00:06:07] affairs. In addition to this issue, austerity policies are also in question, [00:06:11] meaning the government is not very willing to increase [00:06:15] public spending or make more investments in sectors such [00:06:18] as education and social services. In [00:06:21] fact, this approach is part of neoliberal policies [00:06:25] that have been pursued in France for years and emphasize [00:06:28] reducing government spending and limiting public [00:06:32] investment. Therefore, the protesters believe that [00:06:35] for the conditions of schools and people's lives to improve, [00:06:39] the government's economic priorities must change. [00:06:43] What has been the reaction of the French government and educational authorities to these protests? [00:06:47] بوده؟ [00:06:52] Well, first of all, I think the government has tried to intimidate [00:06:56] protesters and suppress the protests using police [00:06:59] force. However, we are now seeing the formation of broader solidarity among [00:07:03] students, and unions have actively joined [00:07:06] the protests. Students from different regions have united, [00:07:10] and the scope of the protests has also expanded. I think French society [00:07:14] in general largely supports these protests, and [00:07:18] this issue has truly worried the government. Now, we may see [00:07:21] some changes, for example, the government is temporarily hiring [00:07:24] more teachers, but I think these measures alone [00:07:28] are not enough to solve the deep-rooted problems of the education [00:07:32] system. For fundamental and lasting changes [00:07:35] to occur, the protests must continue on a larger [00:07:38] scale and for a longer period. [00:08:12] that some of them are children and teenagers, to be treated so violently [00:08:16] is truly insane. It's clear that to manage [00:08:19] protests, this level of violence is not needed. In my opinion, [00:08:23] the goal is for students to be frightened in every possible way [00:08:26] and to give up on continuing their protests and expressing [00:08:30] their political views. First and foremost, there is direct [00:08:33] police violence, but the issue is not limited to street confrontations. [00:08:37] Other threats are also raised, including that students [00:08:41] may face restrictions on continuing their education [00:08:44] due to explicitly stating their political positions, lose their jobs, [00:08:48] or have difficulty finding work in the [00:08:51] future. [00:08:55] I saw fewer images and videos of police violence in mainstream [00:08:58] media compared to social networks. How do French [00:09:02] media cover these protests, and do you think [00:09:06] this coverage provides an accurate picture [00:09:09] of the protests? [00:09:18] for social issues to be covered, protests must first take place [00:09:22] and attract public attention. However, French [00:09:26] media are not uniform in their coverage of these protests [00:09:29] and have different approaches. Some media focus more on [00:09:32] student behaviors that they consider incorrect or open to criticism. [00:09:36] However, at the same time, they do not provide a clear explanation [00:09:39] of the students' demands and the reasons [00:09:43] that led them to protest. As a result, the audience may not [00:09:47] get a complete picture of the roots of the protests and the problems [00:09:50] that students face. Another important issue that I think is less [00:09:54] addressed in the media is the anti-militarist aspect [00:09:58] of these protests. Protests are usually covered within the framework of social [00:10:02] and economic problems, but there is less talk [00:10:06] about the connection between austerity policies, increased [00:10:09] military spending, and decreased investment in sectors such [00:10:13] as education. In my opinion, this connection is an important [00:10:17] part of the story, and ignoring it leads to [00:10:20] an incomplete picture of the reasons for the protests. On the [00:10:24] other hand, I think foreign media, especially non-European [00:10:27] media, sometimes cover protests and war news more [00:10:30] accurately. In European media, there is sometimes [00:10:34] a tendency to portray protests as smaller than [00:10:38] they actually are, or perhaps if they want to fit their own narrative, [00:10:41] they exaggerate some aspects of the protests and [00:10:45] try to question the legitimacy of [00:10:49] the protests. In my opinion, they also try to conceal [00:10:52] the urgency and seriousness of the situation. Such an approach [00:10:56] can divert attention from the main demands [00:11:00] of the protesters and question the legitimacy of the protests. In my opinion, [00:11:04] in the meantime, an attempt is made to minimize the urgency and seriousness of [00:11:07] the problems that led to the protests, portraying [00:11:10] them as less than they truly are. [00:11:14] Besides students, what other groups are participating [00:11:18] in these protests? [00:11:26] Well, I think one of the very positive aspects of these [00:11:30] protests is the formation of solidarity among different groups [00:11:33] of society. A solidarity that may not include the entire [00:11:37] society, but at least a large part of the people. As [00:11:41] I said, unions have also strongly joined the protests. [00:11:44] In my opinion, this expansion of solidarity in France [00:11:47] is a very positive development. Prior to this, the Yellow Vest [00:11:51] movement had also formed, a widespread movement that brought [00:11:55] different groups of society together. I think the government is trying [00:11:58] to prevent a recurrence of such a situation, because a movement [00:12:02] that can unite different parts of society can truly [00:12:05] be challenging for the government. However, we may once again [00:12:09] witness the formation of such widespread solidarity, and [00:12:13] I think this can pave the way for more serious [00:12:16] changes. [00:12:18] Can students achieve their demands by continuing [00:12:22] street protests? [00:12:40] For these protests to lead to fundamental changes, [00:12:44] it is necessary for the movement to become a long-term and sustainable [00:12:47] movement, and for the pressure on the government to continue. If [00:12:51] the protests subside too quickly, the likelihood of austerity [00:12:54] policies changing completely decreases. The important [00:12:58] point is that Western countries are increasing their [00:13:01] military capabilities and preparing for broader [00:13:05] conflicts. However, pursuing such policies is linked to reducing [00:13:09] public spending and refraining from investing in education [00:13:12] and other social sectors. For this reason, [00:13:16] protesters believe that one cannot allocate huge funds [00:13:19] to expanding military power and at the same time ignore [00:13:23] the problems of schools and people's living conditions. Changing [00:13:27] this situation is not easy and requires continuous [00:13:30] organization, solidarity, and follow-up. [00:13:53] The number of nights they attend is just a statistic. [00:13:57] Their continued presence, however, is a narrative. [00:14:01] The narrative of standing by Iran. We stand by [00:14:04] this love that has no end. [00:14:08] Do we let [00:14:11] anyone look askance at [00:14:15] Iran? We've been coming every night, the count [00:14:18] is out of our hands, so much so that we come every night for our country. [00:14:22] I'm 7 years old. [00:14:59] These people in their nightly gatherings have a common [00:15:02] message: standing by Iran, [00:15:06] defending Iran against threats. [00:15:10] Hardships are accompanied by ease. They shout this every [00:15:13] night in the streets, addressing time and [00:15:16] history. Faith is not just a word in political [00:15:20] and economic literature. It can be seen [00:15:24] in these dreams. [00:15:37] This shows that these periods come and go, but [00:15:41] the people of Iran, with perseverance and solidarity, [00:15:43] do this. This is the Iran [00:15:47] of empathy that my martyred leader spoke of. When [00:15:51] we are together, we can overcome these problems. [00:15:55] They say their presence brings hope. Hope for now, [00:15:58] hope for tomorrow. If they want to give a message [00:16:02] of hope for Iran's future from our camera to the people, [00:16:05] what is it? [00:17:05] The nation passed through the street front. [00:17:46] The destiny of this land is tied to the will and motivation [00:17:50] of its people. People who have envisioned a powerful Iran. [00:17:53] How has the will of the people changed during this time? Definitely, [00:17:57] it has become more stable and much better than before. [00:18:01] Our energy actually increases here. We see each other, and this flag [00:18:05] must always be high, and this motivation, backed by valuable [00:18:08] assets, will not fade. The first thing is faith [00:18:12] in God. Belief in this system [00:18:15] and hope for the future of our children. How does this [00:18:18] unity and solidarity of the people help overcome [00:18:22] problems? [00:18:24] In my opinion, it increases our endurance, [00:18:27] our resilience. This unity that our people have had has become the support [00:18:31] of our military children and our officials. Empathy means [00:18:34] during hard times, together we should breathe the air of our homeland. [00:18:41] We should have more empathy with each other in the consumption of energy resources, gas, water, and electricity, save, help the [00:18:44] weaker segments, so that God willing, to spite [00:18:48] our enemies, we will overcome this stage too. In crisis [00:18:52] and war conditions, consuming correctly is very important. [00:18:54] Iranian [00:18:59] Mehdi Pazaki, correspondent of IRIB News Agency . [00:19:03] Iranian, [00:19:04] Iranian [00:19:37] Our great leader made a big mistake. The future of Iran is very [00:19:40] bright. Victory is ours. One day he says we [00:19:43] hit but didn't get hit. The reality is that the foundation [00:19:47] of these colonial powers is based on lies. They don't [00:19:50] allow members of Congress [00:19:53] to go and see the bases. All this is while [00:19:57] the US Congressional Research Service recently announced [00:20:00] that to date at least 81 American helicopters [00:20:04] and drones have been shot down by Iranians. A sign of power. [00:20:09] Now, after months, Trump's true colors have shown, [00:20:12] and it has exposed him. The camel dreams of cotton seeds, [00:20:16] eating them by the handful, not one by one. Now he is left with a path [00:20:19] where he can neither move forward nor backward. We [00:20:23] will never hide behind clouds. The people are still [00:20:26] true to the covenant they made with the revolution. The people have proven [00:20:30] that nothing will disappoint their hope, neither cannonballs, missiles, [00:20:33] and war, nor economic pressures. The happy [00:20:37] edifice has collapsed. The people of Iran's weapon, before anything [00:20:41] else, is faith. Trump should know that as long as [00:20:44] blood flows in our veins, we will never leave [00:20:47] Iran. After faith, it is the unity [00:20:51] and solidarity of the people that has kept Iran standing. Let's join [00:20:54] hands with love and make our homeland prosperous. Unity [00:20:58] and solidarity means coming every night and not frowning. [00:21:02] In this situation where they want to harm us from abroad, [00:21:05] we must maintain our solidarity. That is, when all [00:21:09] of us who gather these nights come together, we are always [00:21:13] there for each other. And it means to take the plunge for your [00:21:16] homeland and soil. [00:21:39] People's gatherings are in the streets. Everyone in Iran knows [00:21:42] that winter will eventually end, and Russia [00:21:46] will remain. [00:22:20] 9 members of my family have been martyred. My brother was also a border guard [00:22:23] and was martyred. What even is a "terrorist group"? [00:22:26] A terrorist group is like [00:22:30] a camel dreaming of cottonseed. [00:22:33] Under no circumstances, as long as we are here [00:22:37] and on the country's border strip, no terrorist group can [00:22:40] do anything. This is the story of border residents who, [00:22:44] by their heart's command, are alongside the law enforcement [00:22:47] border guards of the country. Sacrificing their lives for the village. [00:22:51] They are from the Khezl tribe and nomads of Karzan [00:22:54] district. When the residents of a village, Korno [00:22:57] Shirin village in Kalat Nader county, [00:23:00] all became soldiers of Iran, all the villagers [00:23:04] were on alert. Why? To defend [00:23:07] My life for you, sir. Don't underestimate this rifle. [00:23:10] We are nomads. Some of us have armed ourselves [00:23:14] and have spontaneously and [00:23:17] proudly declared that from [00:23:25] a border province, with all its economic capacity, [00:23:28] whose security is handled by [00:23:31] the border police, we are proudly serving [00:23:34] the dear border residents and the government. Our mission [00:23:37] is to facilitate, to create security, [00:23:41] and in this area, we have no shortcomings, and we are proudly [00:23:45] serving both the people and the dear [00:23:47] officials. [00:28:28] The country, the nation that can prove [00:28:32] that it is ready for its independence, [00:28:35] for preserving its identity, for its ideals, [00:28:39] for its existence, to resist and [00:28:43] defend manfully, that nation is عزيز (honored). [00:28:46] The honor of that nation is even [00:28:49] acknowledged by its enemies deep within themselves, [00:28:52] even if they are not willing to utter it out [00:28:56] of stubbornness. Today, [00:28:59] your enemies also acknowledge your honor. [00:30:22] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Dear viewers, [00:30:26] greetings. The Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance [00:30:29] announced the provision of support facilities to 300,000 small businesses [00:30:33] damaged by the recent imposed war and said: The value of these [00:30:37] support facilities was more than 8,500 billion Tomans. [00:30:40] Mr. Madanizadeh also said that about 320 medium [00:30:44] and small businesses, also damaged, were introduced by the Ministry [00:30:48] of Industry to the banking network for receiving [00:30:51] facilities, and about 80,000 billion Tomans in facility requests [00:30:55] have been registered. [00:30:58] Specifically in the area of taxation, we
