W. Is coming up ahead. In the late 1970 s. The world was in turmoil never before had so many people taking to the streets millions of demonstrators demanded more democracy greater freedom higher wages and world peace and across the globe women were calling for equal rights. That all these hopes seemed to take a back seat in a world shackled to the ongoing confrontation between the United States and the soviet union. There appeared to be little alternative to the 2 political blocs the cold war had the world firmly in its grip. The west was still feeling the after effects of the oil crisis of the early 1970 s. Economic growth had slowed and unemployment was steadily rising the postwar boom had come to an end. In britain James Callaghans labor government came under pressure from its financial obligations to the International Monetary funds but also from a seemingly endless series of strikes that had paralyzed the country. In Eastern Europe poland remained under soviet rule the polish economy was in crisis and the country was still scarred by the harsh the pression of the workers strikes of 970 but the election of polish cardinal. As pope in 1978 kindled fresh hope. China was drained after 30 years of oppressive ma was ruled in december 978. 00 the Chinese Communist party entrusted the fate of the country to. He was already in his seventys. In iran the brutal western oriented dictatorship of the shower was under huge pressure from demonstrations that with tipping over into revolt although u. S. President jimmy carter still so iran as an island of stability hundreds of thousands of iranians which challenging the Security Forces and the army on the streets of tehran demanding an end to the shahs rule. At the dawn of 979. 00 it seemed the world was ready to be rocked. But the 4 leaders of the major western nations the United States france the United Kingdom and west germany appeared unconcerned as they do in the french antilles they were unaware that the location of their meeting was only a few hours away from the last of the year a small drink volcano. Especially the boy heads of states gathered in waterloo were preparing for the upcoming g. 7 summit in tokyo smiling reassuringly for the cameras in their shit sleeves. In reality the mood was. In iran the situation had become untenable as international protests condemned the shahs dictatorship the country was sinking into chaos and Oil Production had almost completely stopped france was eager to be rid of an embarrassing guess they had been hosting for several months the exiled iranian cleric ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini the voyage of state came to a decision that the shah would have to resign and leave iran and the cleric who they knew little about would be allowed to return to stabilize the country and. Preserve the economic interests of the west. And i heard about it who are the local conference packing it was there that they decided that if the show goes on to form a new company its not such a disaster for the west. All of the sudden the mainstream of medio this started talking about khomeini as a big shot at the big actually flight of the shah which it was not to. Have lost my hearing. There was this great propaganda strategy and the european media fell into the trap because that image was really too ideal like almost like a garden of eden a school saying so then. You need khomeini never fail to state that everything he did would be determined by islam soon apocalypse slump he had always dreamt of you know state in the sharia law which ruled a very important part of it was there rights of women the family law and everything that was why he had been sent into exile because he had object to the right of women to vote before on French Television khomeini was asked who would really run when the shah was gone and. Sure you. Know no it wont be me will choose a council and in this council there. Will be a parliament elected by universal suffrage. For the big but the majority believe this is. Between all part of the society too good for changing the system i. Get to show there were people out on the streets with. Carts saying. Sure the show has gone shot the show has left and theres anything i miss 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 sampled. Right. Here. And i was standing outside from the university and some other people in to watch this and then this man sitting standing next to me a working class man the stretched out his hand and held my hand and he said now we are one and the same piece. Thats the spirit of terrific. Person sister. The army and the police and the secret police and all of them theres nothing. There was absolutely no pollard imposed on the population so it was total defeat everybody was so. Friendly to each other everybody was helping each other everybody was killing for the other and this film and i think. You. Know that you. Know i got swapped. In the name of god now after 4 months of living in france. I am leaving here to serve my country. Cynicism its also necessary to express my gratitude to the french government and people for providing me with security measures and freedom of expression. Explosive. Charge. While i have told our 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 posting. Pictures to show. You. Told him he said 9 people have no hope of those who has a very many years of the war but communism had been around for so many years the shops were empty life was hard everything was approved. Countercoup notion you had very few believers because. Many more introverts used to be important because people have no illusions this illusion was not loved but rather feel that even though its becoming a big mind over time. But still out in the force. It kept the system and i most intermediation linked to this so that you know. There are 2 programs in the days. I think we will listen to the news at 7 30 in the evening i think. This was a communist from the state run companies a propaganda machine. So you know you listen to it just with one ear and never believe half of it and then something in the middle of the news they said that. Quote hes being chosen as the pope. And thats what i mean my ears pricked up and i thought a polish pope i think their main impact was not so much religious it was nationalist the national he was received in poland this is my impression you know this a leader of the conflict. But as the most prominent people. In there were the. 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. On the other side of the world a giant was beginning to awaken from x. Number. Done shopping have been a fellow revolutionary of mouths they dont he had been arrested during the cultural revolution but was now taking control of the Chinese Communist party when i arrived in beijing the apartment which my family and i occupied looked out on to the great multilane highway of the avenue of eternal peace and every morning i would watch the banana women going to work. Like so many people in china living a zombie like existence and. Once done become the paramount leader he never took the position of Prime Minister he wanted to be a part of a high in the front but nobody could doubt that he was in the supremes rule of trying. To achieve mandate 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 thats 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 partys rule. Over. Done shell came as a pragmatic nationalist wanted the strategic strength and a lot and friendship of the United States in case the civil 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 different assigned to the u. S. Embassy in moscow. His concert concept of containment was that if the Serviette Union war 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 1st 1979. The United States recognizes the government of the peoples republic of china as a so legal government of 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 that invitation. And workers in iraq. Happy. I was. Happy. I. Happy. And early 1979 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. Circle because those who are quite important is that this really was Margaret Thatcher whod become leader of the conservative policy for years and now intended to take advantage of a neighbor policy in disarray so the issue was whether the next conservative government will cut controls on regulations and keep interference in peoples lives to a minimum my answer is yes thats exactly what we should. Be called so right for. The general election of 179. 00 because in the winter of 17879. 00 all these strikes all came together under a labor govt. There was a perfect position to be in to say this because you want to move because of a country like. Winter and the speeches were for called my nation in march through march loosely called the british with its organizers you know. It was with me refuge in the streets. Public Sector Workers were clearing dust where we refuse to place a wooden hospital porters standing at the gate so hospitals turning people away although think were helping. The government to let the people they have and still get elected because. Most dramatic of all is that the. The bodies of the dead couldnt be bothered because pretty good workers are on strike i think from that moment the election of a conservative government was stoppable 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 on the people who have people for the feet. Not Government Office section of the people by a section of the people or a section of the me. 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 dont really have to think about this you know weve all read our suits and we put a comb so i have and thats about it but for women its true to a different she understood that the men were a club and they would support one another if they did something stupid. But the women werent and if they did something stupid they were out she saw it all as a battle she said theres no 2nd chance for a woman lonely hard to find an example of Margaret Thatcher ever admitting she was wrong you dont admit it youve 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 and she was 2 people really there was very gutsy thatcher which reacted in a very typical way a certain sort of the british citizen and there was the thinking factor it took a bit of time to get past the 1st one to address the 2nd round but you had to learn to do it. Through say the thing in her eyes that was missing was the understanding not societys not entirely composed of achievers and there are 203035 percent of people who are not going to be very happy are not enjoying their jobs and generally im able to cope and who need the help of a society which is generous towards those who are less advantaged that was her weakness saying you know the answer is simple in cabbage 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 dont just look 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 moments to the shock. Of the old after 15 years in exile khamenei was eager to finally accomplish a plan he had concealed from the wider world. I didnt know anything about khamenei really we wanted the revolution to continue its course for us it was a huge moment in history that i was interested in the enormous welcome he received. That i was hoping hed go back to calm and stay there very diverse that was millions of people had gone to the latest copy it was they were as much these people i think this thing might be the god of the heart of the religious but you have to remember that a large number of them went and very contained because of what he had promised he had promised coaches democracy coahuila but what was the old 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. Cant keep up a little there was a great deal of laughter because this persian was not very good or maybe it was his own version. He blended it with language from the quran 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 morrow at the book news he has told them he will give the country freedom of course he wont 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 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 they came to the palmer 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 and you 1st see more look of the. Then we saw in all of them with radiation from certain time of coming to reman also all meet black child door and also a scarf on Something Like that with each of. These sawing talking to everybody for the unity of the struggle the women have to wear the hijab and they offered them also in the streets on the chair on in the most efficient who would use 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 or was definitely convinced that live with the conflict. Because we where the revolution. In the case of course was the International Womens day the womens the most ration was not called on by any political organization. It did not belong to anyone it was its demonstration of women 1st planned to celebrate the night before they see of march i think i heard it on the 9 oclock news khomeinis said that women should not go to work naked. Nature meaning without the fear more lonely didnt take him seriously i thought hes crazy hes out of his mind of it among ourselves we laughed and said another random statement coming out of nowhere but we were wrong about minu the fact that women should go to work there was like a slap in the face. There have also been martyrs among us women we fought with the veil and without it for our freedom and that of the people and if khomeini continues like this i who am a true muslim will leave my religion. But were not allowed to speak for women the islamic government has the only word we women are not allowed to speak. Was the e. U. Was i believe that over in 1000000 women that they came to the streets if even for me it was very important to know why they are out and all of them they said that if we dont will go back we one on top of more freedom taking care of them or his job were calling for equal rights with men our thinking is if we dont speak to each other now when the constitution is written they will not give us anything more were demonstrating not only because of the veil but because of a whole range of far more important things that. I was a clash at least now to have peace johnnies through the instead of from the west nor from the east this universe was especially from the 2nd day. The mob. Armed with chain they came against our demonstration they really did a lot of there. They said a lot on their towards to the women that in the most ration and also distort to attack us with change they had pushed them to blind alleys. And against the walls taken out their. Penises and heading in to them telling them you want freedom come and get it but the women answered today and was really struck. The an odd. Accomplice they brushed it off by saying none of this matters be a mom never said he was going to impose this women need to calm down its a royalist demonstration things like that and the left called on women to stop. That was. The moment when this part of the population realized. That they had to confront gingrich. After months of tough negotiations the polish authorities welcomed john paul the 2nd to the country of his birth the pope knew that this 2nd trip of his pontificate with be an extremely delicate affair he arrived in poland not only as the leader of the church but as a political figure leaving the church in an intended reconquest of the European Countries still under the soviet. The clerk napoleon was not a religious institution. Or was sort of on the independent National Institutions independent from the point. And i would say many people were going to catch up necessarily because there were the evils. Barqs they expressed. There to feel towards the system and also the role of. There was an attempt on the part of communism part you know in poland to suppress the chants the sun expands a section of the socialism based on the political domino spent on the sequence. Of. Team group or we went in a group on a bus early in the morning and arrived in warsaw at about 7 in the morning about yeah. You want to play muckers ive been on thats where before at the time it was called victory square. It was the 1st time it seemed so big to me the sort of moral. Whos really euphoric situation and be really really pleased that it was just something they could never have believed to have happened if the pope visited an independent country that he would not be sought. Otherwise i think the warmer sea. And these 2 can believe it i think when the pope actually arrived it could slow hard to believe that he was in poland as was the pose pope. But south of the south say said we waited i dont know 6 hours then he arrived and the mood changed. I. Was that something to fall so many this new center of the red sox by the fall went through so if i thought the understandable given up on the despair from worry about 1st of all our history and our problems position in 1700. I suppose television of course knew they had to show the visit because it was obvious that they could say no but it was also all due so they were going to try and play down the whole thing and to make sure that the crowds werent too big and so on so it was maybe a long lens and showing less people very good. We always do the possibility to see old people empty places and pulpit ill. Just. Eat. I left. At the end of the homily he craved to the holy spirit. V d. U. V. Katie it was a very clear in my opinion political message that please you have 2 feet on unification and you have to opens it. You have to open. Limits which are divide the world and people. As opposed to worse the photographer based behind the iron curtain. From above or just looks like a like a profiteer you think its not even people but when you look closely this is the right way and i just really cant imagine if i had to stand in the crowd in the sun for 4 hours. But they love to come in they just for there was. Anything where they could show the hatred for the coming the system these are slogans we saw a book of which means we got. Not sure the right up nowadays but those those as a as a form of protest against the government those are strong. Certainly yes. But ive yet to be very yet in or she should soon know each tonight yet new yorkers. Thank you shes asked them to speak stagecoach is. The story. Only you will learn your spats if each. When i stand of your oh new age suit a christian is. Genie and our old. Woman you of on your fresh air. Almost every country whenever theres a conflict church you have some. Country or national specific. And the politics could be very split the strong given the history the history of the main independent institution attracted people not only because of their religious views and also because of. National. Boy. Yes. Rest on your rough going out all be yes. Just improv or no east nearing out or ask law samo samo of janja ill show you. It was for him importance in europe which was divided. It was. How to say way leading to nazi cellphones additional 1st of all he was sinking probably not only on poland but europe as a center which should not be divided like it was still his election. Tracker here rick yet no huge poem young to dream. Rock in your school which for years now new orleans are not all that. Good to occur to leeches when it comes to catholicism in our ideology there are also points of contact areas of shared ground. Some even say that jesus was almost a communist in his views. But. If you didnt stop seeing those images of people praying we realized they were not really communists they were radishes right on the outside only and we stopped being afraid. Why should they visited. Sick on this visit as we saw poland falling to its knees. And not before us. Not before ideology by the before the pope is going to call on that upset but heres a. John deduced john paul the 2nd was the ruler of their song. Called when you sing your play communists didnt let us assemble or acknowledge our numbers the pope gathered us together saw us saw that we were many years and that many others were joining us. Dividing. Happened to paul and beyond their wildest expectations. I also passed from them the people safe so that only from within the system you can try to change it if youre so young the soviet union would not disappeared or the only logical conclusion. Even without the pope communism would have fallen but much much later and the end would have been bloody he helped ensure that the struggle ended without bloodshed. Somehow so young economists are from inform our group of them younger people to work on how to improve socialism and the main purpose of. Extent of economic freedom. Politics off. Basically the pope gave the word and we the workers working poles turned it into the body of victory which are. Never going to. Sort of been spent thats one of the many actors doing the same is going to get started so i do think. This was a very serious. First sort of darted through the movement came into being can expect to. Go over some september of 98 to there was a great demand for propose a comment from society and the 3rd now that theres only one computers i never liked capitalism but i had no choice. About sort of each new how to introduce it. Thats why i supported if you were spitzer you know its a comic book isnt it not just not just with prison it. Is thats not it is the shredder much as we felt it was a little far off my 1st conversation with like but once i was gone by form in i said that mr truman are aiming charge off once a crime i took responsibility to do it and then one source said yes this is above this program but this was a complement bump its program. But necessary he was the man who actually carry through the revolution i did the Political Part but he did the practical part of the practice some things are. Good. And there is a brief period which i have called the period of extraordinary politics so people tend to be more willing to accept harsh contracts but its kind of lost more than 4 years. When youre in tough so you have to be you move very fast to cop this you just created by history you cant help fabricate this this was a psychological and political argument for moving very fast or iran had put out going after the irony was that the proletariat had to support capitalism and stablish it that is a member of his capital hes the focus play for positive growth talking behind the scenes. I tried to enlist the support of the church including the pope so i met the most important purpose was on my call to inform hence what is going on in poland in order to avoid could this is bushs fault because i have many people saying to congress to all the local.
