For the refugees of syria and iraq. Putoutyourbats, a tribute to Phillip Hughes grows across the cricketing world. Also, as france broadens its support, a Party Insider claims the public image doesnt match the reality. Immigration is a work business. Hello. In just the last hour, the british Prime Minister David Cameron has made a muchanticipated speech, setting out plans aimed at reducing migration from the European Union into the uk. He said migrants would have to wait four years before becoming eligible for benefits, and those who dont find jobs within six months, they would be deported. Mr. Cameron also warned that he would rule nothing out if other european states turned a deaf ear to british concerns. For me, i have one test and one test only what is in the best longterm interest of the people of our country. That is the measure against which everything must be judged. If you elect me as Prime Minister in may, i will negotiate to reform the European Union and britains relationship within it. This issue of Free Movement will be a key part of that negotiation. If i succeed, i will, as ive said, campaign to keep our country in a reformed European Union. If our concerns fall on deaf ears, and we cannot put our relationship with the eu on a better footing, then of course, i rule nothing out. But i am confident that with good will and understanding, we can and we will succeed. And at the end of the day, whatever happens, the final decision will be yours. When you place your cross on the ballot paper in the referendum to decide whether britain remains in the European Union or not, that decision is for you, for the british people, and for you alone. David cameron talking just a short while ago in england. With me is the bbcs uk Political Correspondent rob watson. A very interesting speech, actually, because it wasnt with a you would call an antiimmigrant rant in any shape or form, but hes talking about the need for control. Where does he get that control from . Youre absolutely right. Not an antiimmigrant rant. And of course, were obliged to just pick out a clip, but what was really striking about the speech was that it was incredibly nuanced. This was David Cameron not trying to be a tubthumping, antiimmigrant. But anyway, he did have to address two very big concerns and that is a vote of concern here about high levels of migration. And he had two choices about how britain might try to address that. You could try and say to the European Union, were not going to have freedom of movement, we want quotas, we want emergency cutoffs. He was advised that was a nogo. So you try to make britain a bit less attractive. So lets say youre a poor worker in southern europe. You tinker with the benefits system here in britain to make it a bit less attractive to come here. And financially considerably less attractive if he has his way. Four years before you claim any benefits. He described those measures as reasonable, fair, other words like that. Are they legal . Hes trying to make them reasonable and fair because this is the start of what promises to be an extremely interesting negotiation. I think we have to remember that well as the extraordinary british domestic political context, the explosive issue of immigration, this is a much wider issue about the future of the European Union, and certainly britains place in it. Now, in the past, some of the kind of things that have been suggested here have been challenged under eu law, but David Camerons point is and hes a politician, he would say this. Come on, lads. And ladies, of course. Europe is about compromise and negotiation. Lets get to it if you really want britain to stay in. Nothing sis impossible. Thank you very much indeed. But what about the response from other eu countries . We can go now to damian grammaticus, who is in poland. Damian, we know well enough an awful lot of polls have swept across into the uk. Working hard, but many of them enjoying some benefits here as well. What are they going to make of this . Its a pretty stringent cut, isnt it . Reporter its a very good question. Thats exactly why were here in the grounds of the university, its a couple hours outside warsaw, one of the poorer regions of the country. From this district, this area, we think Something Like 30,000 poles have gone to the uk in the last decade. With me, who were listening to David Cameron, two of the students here, adrianna. You heard David Cameron. What did you think of what you heard him say . I think its really a nice speech, a really smart speech. I think the polish people must care about this because generally people should go to uk for permanent, not just temporary. If they go for temporary, they shouldnt ask about benefits. Reporter so you support what hes saying. Hes saying you could have to wait four years. You think thats reasonable . Yes, because i can imagine that people from other country come to poland and they stay here just one year and my country have to pay them just benefits, because, i dont know, they cant find job. If you cant find job, dont come. Reporter that doesnt make you as an eu citizen wanting to move to the uk feel discriminated against in any way . Now, i dont know, but maybe after this, some people find i dont know. Reporter youve been to the uk and worked for a short time there. Does this make it any less attractive to you to go to the uk . No, for me not really. I didnt care about benefits when i was there. I was just thinking about earning money and getting job. Have a place to live. And that was it. I wanted to fulfill it. And i guess that if i want to go there for permanent time, i wouldnt care about it either, you know . Because right now, i dont need to. If i was getting money, i didnt need to get more, you know . Reporter and how much more can you earn in the uk compared to here . Five times more. Yeah, five times more. Maybe six. Thank you very much for your thoughts. So the message really i think that the uk attractive for what you can earn there more than for the benefits system. Weve been to the local Employment Center who helped people find jobs all around europe and they told us theyve never had anything walk in there and ask about benefits. Everybody asks about Jobs Available there. Yeah, there wont be much problem for people like the two young people youve talked to there, will there, if they want to come and work and theyve got a job to take on. But David Cameron is looking at the benefits element. He says there would be treaty changes required by the eu. How ready do you think his fellow counterparts across the eu are going to be to allow for that . Reporter well, that is going to be a crucial part of this. We interestingly know with that, david, that David Cameron spoke last night, we understand, to the polish Prime Minister to talk to her about exactly this speech. Because already this issue in the way hes raised it has caused some sort of waves here. We know theres been a feeling in poland, people saying well, why not . Why shouldnt poles if they come to the uk contribute into the system in the uk, pay taxes in the uk, be able to receive benefits out in exactly the same way as uk citizens. So he does have hurdles to get over there to convince other eu leaders and clearly hes already thinking about that and thinking about how to address that. Long way to go, obviously. Interesting stuff. Thanks very much indeed. Now the price of crude oil has fallen to a fouryear low following opecs decision not to cut output. Just to give you an idea of the change in price, a barrel of crude is now more than 15 cheaper than it was the beginning of the month, three or four weeks ago. Its thought the fall in prices is going to help a lot of consumers and businesses, of course, but serious implications for some countries. In particular, russia, for example, which relies very heavily on the income from oil sales to fund its Government Spending. The russian ruble has now hit an alltime low in morning trading. The bbcs Steve Rosenberg has more from moscow. It went down below 49 rubles to the dollar. Russian stocks and shares are down two to a fiveyear low at the moscow stock exchange, so pretty gloomy Economic News in russia. And thats reflected i think in the newspapers here in russia today. Let me show you a few front pages. This is the russian government paper, which basically says that after the opec decision, the euro strengthened, the ruble fell, and theres this diagram that shows over the last three months how oil prices have fallen and how the value of the dollar against the ruble has risen. So theres a direct link there. This is the financial daily, and its headline is opec didnt help. And it quotes the head of rosneft saying he thinks it could fall below 60 a barrel, and that could mean that russia would have to postpone some of its longer oil projects. This is the tabloid, it asks the question how can we calm the oil market. And it makes the point that russias budget, the countrys budget that was passed by parliament a few days ago for 2015, 16, and 17, that relies on an oil price of around 96 a barrel to help balance the budget. Well, the oil price at the moment is far below that, so that could cause problems certainly for the russian budget, and the countrys finance minister has suggested that that may have to be corrected, the budget may have to be changed to accommodate the new macroeconomic reality. Steve rosenberg there. Of course, the oil issue. The price has been a big story for our business team. For aaron among others. Hes with us now. Are there others . Its just me, isnt it . Its all me. Its all me. Well, it was all doom and gloom for brazil. Its economy in recession all of this year. But its out now. But dont hold your breath. Here, let me explain. Hello there.

The pope has arrived in ankara at the start of whats been billed as an historic visit to turkey. Its to promote religious dialogue with the predominantly muslim country. His plane from rome touched down in just the last few minutes. Pope francis is expected to use this visit to build bridges with islam and also provide support to the middle easts christian minorities. Hes due to be formally greeted by president erdogan in the next few hours. Mark lowen is outside the brandnew spanking president ial palace, mark. Hardly a typical visit for the pope, is it . Reporter absolutely, david. This will be the venue for his visit. Very shortly indeed. He has touched down at ankara airport. He is now on his way to the mausoleum, where he will lay a wreath of respect. We understand hell come in a horsedrawn carriage up to this place, the president ial palace. Let me stand back from the camera to show you what some would call magnificent and others would call distasteful. A president ial palace built by erdogan. A lot of marble. Thousands of pine trees brought in from italy especially, costing over 600 million, and the pope will be the First International visitor here. The contrast will be stark. A pope known for his frugality, his humility, who has shunned the palace in the vatican. He will discuss the plight of refugees. Turkey hosting 1. 6 million syrians now. He will use this visit very much as a way of encouraging interfaith dialogue. Turkey is now 99 muslim, but this was a country which had a thousand years at the seat of a largely Christian Byzantine empire. It is seen as a bridge between a largely Christian Europe and a muslim middle east. He will encourage dialogue over the weekend. Mark, thanks very much indeed. Mark lowen in ankara at the start of the popes threeday visit to turkey. Security officials in egypt say gunmen have shot dead an army colonel and wounded two soldiers outside a hotel in the east of the capital. The attack came just hours ahead of a planned islamist protest. The protests have prompted the police and military to boost their presence in the capital and other cities, including alexandria. The call for nationwide rallies is just the first attempt in months to hold large protests since the militarys ousting of president Mohamed Morsi last year. Sally, can i ask first about the shooting . What more do we know . Yes. In addition to the shooting that happened this morning and killed an army officer and wounded two other army soldiers, another army soldier was killed after he was shot by unknown gunmen, northern egypt. And we have also more than 100 people arrested by police forces. This morning, they have been charged with inciting violence and chaos. This rally that was called the uprising of the muslim youth was called for by small ultra conservative group. The original plan was to organize huge rallies in different parts of the country, especially after friday prayers that ended just about half an hour ago. But due to the beefed up security measures taken by police and army forces all over the country, especially places like tahrir square, the ministry of defense, close to the mosques, they were very ready. And what we got from the Facebook Page is that this rally will last only for 30 minutes and it will not last throughout the day as it was originally planned due to heavy security measures. Sally, thanks very much. The french president Francois Hollande is due to arrive in guinea shortly, becoming the First Western leader to visit one of the countries worst hit by the ebola virus. France has pledged around 125 million to help tackle the disease in guinea by opening several care centers there. Mark doyle is in the capital of guinea, accra. How big a deal is that the french president should pitch up in guinea . Reporter its a very big deal for guinea. He will do various practical things like visit a care center. Talk to the french aid workers who have been helping in guinea. Those practical things very important. But the fact is these three affected countries have been shunned and stigmatized by the entire world, and to see a major foreign leader come to the ebola zone, the first one to do so, is certainly a big boost in morale for the government of guinea. Mark doyle, thank you very much indeed. Now lets just move on to another situation. Weve been hearing from David Cameron already on the issue of immigration. Frances far right National Front party is gathering ahead of a crucial meeting. Once considered part of europes political fringe, of course, the party has moved to broaden its support. Lucy williamson reports from paris, though, that the rebranding itself has not convinced everyone. Reporter this has been for centuries a gateway to france. This seaside town has been taken by romans, pirates, muslim invaders, and now by the National Front. Once a party on the political fringe, with frances economy dormant and its politicians swamped by splits and scandals, 11 towns, including this one, are giving it a chance. Its a showcase for the new face of the National Front. Its mayor, just 26 years old with a jewish father, part of a Rebranding Campaign designed to show the party as moderate, responsible, and ready to govern. But that tolerance hasnt stretched to the towns new mosque. Built, but not yet open. The mayor has promised voters a referendum on whether it can go ahead. As the daily temperature dips to freezing, the local imam is holding prayers in a local tent. Translator the National Front isnt for everyone. Its not for the muslims. Were citizens in this town, too, but it doesnt represent us. That party hasnt changed at all, not one bit. Reporter the National Front has worked hard to shed its racist image, but one Party Insider told us the new brnd was just empty advertising. This, he says, is what he was told after being elected to a town council outside paris. This told after being elected to a town council outside paris. Forget talking about an economical problem and a social problem. You only talk about immigration. Immigration is our business. Its the real sentence, he said. I understood that racism is still here. Reporter maureen says her party has never been racist, but its antiimmigration policy is a bid to protect frances economy and identity, and so too is its stand against public expressions of islam. Translator its not for us to say whether islam is compatible with the french republic. Its for the muslims. Those who say its contrary to their religion can leave. Its not the republic that has to adapt to their demands. Our traditions have been steeped in christianity. Why should we have to change . Reporter that message hasnt changed much since the days of her father, but sometimes its the medium that counts. Politics, says maureen lapen, is like building a house, while dreaming perhaps of a president ial palace. Lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. Just time to remind you of our top story.

In the last hour, the british Prime Minister David Cameron has made a muchanticipated speech setting out plans aimed at reducing migration from the European Union. He said migrants would have to wait four years before becoming eligible for benefits and those who dont find jobs within six months would be sent home. Mr. Cameron also warned that he would rule nothing out if other european states turn a deaf ear to british concerns. For me, i have one test and one test only. What is in the best longterm interests of the people of our country. That is the measure against which everything must be judged. If you elect me as Prime Minister in may, i will negotiate to reform the European Union and britains relationship within it. This issue of Free Movement will be a key part of that negotiation. If i succeed, i will, as ive said, campaign to keep our country in a reformed European Union. If our concerns fall on deaf ears and we cannot put our relationship with the eu on a better footing, then of course, i rule nothing out. But i am confident that with good will and understanding, we can and we will succeed. And at the end of the day, whatever happens, the final decision will be yours. When you place your cross on the ballot paper in the referendum to decide whether britain remains in the European Union or not, that decision is for you, for the british people, and for you alone. David cameron there. Eu Member States might have something to say about some of the proposals as well. Jenny hill is our correspondent in berlin. Jenny, interesting, isnt it, of course, David Cameron has spoken to Angela Merkel no doubt on more than one occasion about what measures might be taken, and no reference in this speech to the idea of capping actual numbers. Not trying to effect freedom of movement of individuals. That i presume will please the chancellor . Yeah, in the last half an hour or so, chancellor merkel has declined to comment on David Camerons speech to us, but i think its safe to assume there will be relief all around in the chancellory, that David Cameron has stepped back from demanding a cap on numbers of eu migrants into the uk. Chancellor merkel has famously simply refused to budge on that particular proposal. The freedom of movement, that principle, she said, is quite simply nonnegotiable. Whats interesting is that earlier in the year, Angela Merkel said she was more than prepared to work with britain to tackle benefit fraud. It seems that perhaps theres now a little bit of Common Ground. Its worth remembering that germany too struggles with very high immigration. Its actually at a 20year high here. Solving problems like a skills gap and a low birthrate. Nevertheless, its not long since the mayors of 12 major german cities wrote the central German Government saying they were struggling to cope with the numbers of people coming in. There are proposals on the table in germany to deal with that issue, too. They, for example, would quite like to cut some benefits to eu migrants if they havent got a job after six months. Theyd like to be able to deport people who were convicted of benefit fraud. So you can see that some Common Ground is starting to emerge. Although David Camerons proposals go much further than the german proposals. Nevertheless, now that those proposals are on the table, it may be that theres a way forward. Its been very interesting the last few months. You get a real sense of impatience with britains position, particularly when there were proposals for a cap to tinker with the freedom of movement principle. Some said these demands coming out of westminster have been very difficult because britain needs germanys support. Germany wants britain to stay in the eu. But so far, these terms have been nonnegotiable. Now theres something concrete on the table. One wonders if at last there isnt finally a way through it all. Jenny, thanks very much. No comment at this stage, at least, from Angela Merkel, but there has been a comment from the european commission. A statement just saying the European Union should be ready to discuss calmly and prudently David Camerons propositions. The price of crude oil has fallen to a fouryear low following opecs decision not to cut output. To give you an idea of the change in price, a barrel of crude is now more than 15 cheaper than it was at the start of the month. Its thought that the fall in prices will help many consumers and businesses, but serious implications for countries like russia, which rely so heavily on income from oil sales to Fund Government spending. The russian ruble has hit an alltime low in morning trading. Earlier, the bbc spoke to the independent Energy Sector analyst from moscow. He says Falling Oil Prices wont have an Immediate Impact on businesses that work in rubles and not dollars, but the russians would eventually feel the pinch. Putin has already made it clear to them that if all of their expenses are in rubles, they have nothing to worry on. The minister of economy said the same thing. But middle class, these are the people who will be really worried. Although loans are below 5 of the total volume of loans. Thats still the type of loans that middle class people take. They will be losing jobs. And they will be angry. But the problem is that usually its middle class people who are a Natural Center of opposition for the government. So this wiping out of the middle class is only benefiting the government, which will have more people relying on publicly owned companies to count on. So the exact constituency the western countries should be fostering and counting on is being wiped out. Another country which relies very heavily on income from oil sales to support Government Spending is nigeria. Our correspondent will ross has more from lagos. Reporter nigeria has been hit extremely hard. More than 80 of the governments revenue comes from oil. So in recent months, those revenues have dropped by butt a third. And the currency has also come under a lot of pressure. What can be done about it . The government has done a few things. It has readjusted next years budget to reflect a lower benchmark price for oil. Its also talking of introducing a tax on luxury goods. Far more really needs to be done. But the problem is theres an election coming, and that will be expensive. And also it would be impossible now to dramatically increase taxes, because that would be so unpopular for the government at the moment. Of course, many people are wondering why on earth wasnt a lot more money saved during the boom years when the oil price was far higher. But really, the whole country needs to make its oil sector far more transparticipant so people know where the money is going. And the economy needs to diversify. The country really needs to wean itself off the oil. Will ross. Mexicos president has announced some sweeping reforms to end collaboration between officials and drugs gangs. He is facing ge ining growing a the apparent massacre of 43 students in september. Its coming from protesters to end impunity and brutality after the trainee teachers were abducted by corrupt police. Its thought they were then handed over to a local drugs gang in iguala. Our mexico correspondent will grant reports. Reporter after weeks of criticism of the governments response over the missing 43, the president has tried a new approach. His intention is a radical overhaul of policing in mexico. Particularly at the local level, given that it was the police in the town of iguala who handed the students over to drug gang members. Translator igualas tragedy, combined with institutional weaknesses, we cannot ignore. A criminal Group Controlled the territory of various municip municipali municipalities. Authorities were part of the very structure of criminal organization. Municipal police were in reality criminals. Reporter his tenpoint plan involved a number of significant steps. They included a constitutional change that would give the state control over local police. In effect scrapping some 1,800 Municipal Police forces. The president said he would send more federal police to the four worst affected states. He also included a proposal to set up a nationwide emergency number, similar to 911 in the united states. In an example of the lack of coordination on such measures in mexico, there are many emergency phone numbers across the country. The president s supporters in his party have welcomed the measures as important steps at a difficult time. But his critics were quick to say it was too little, too late. His presidency has been battered by huge protests over the abductions, and many have been calling for him to step down. But in announcing the measures, he said he had heeded the lessons of the disappearances. Translator the people who have begun out on to the streets in mexico and other parts of the world, everyone agrees on a fundamental point, that mexico cannot continue like this. And theyre right. After iguala, mexico should change. Reporter yet none of these announcements are likely to placate the family members of the missing, and not just the 43 missing students from iguala. Every day, there are fresh reports of missing young people in mexico or discoveries of mass aggressives. If, as mr. Pena assures, mexico will change after iguala, the size of the task ahead is formidable. Will grant, bbc news, mexico. Now residents of the australian city of brisbane are counting the cost of their worst storm in decades. Hailstones the size of tennis ball were raining down. Streets were flooded. Its thought the bill for the damage is going to come to Something Like 100 million australian dollars, 85 million u. S. Reporter you know when hailstones do this, you are in a serious storm. Winds of over 140 kilometers an hour battered the brisbane commute. The damage was as widespread as it was sudden. Its all gone, you know . Its pretty much all deindustried. But some of us have been lucky down at the other end to have a few dry rooms. But, you know, for the most part, everything in the living room and bedrooms and balcony are just gone. Reporter but according to the state premier, the cost of human life was less severe. We are only hearing at this stage of 12 people being injured. I am astounded but so grateful that that is all that weve got given the amount of shrapnel flying around last night. Reporter the damage to property was vast. 90,000 homes were left in the dark. As falling trees brought down power lines. At the airport, planes tossed around like toys. Its thought the final cost will be 100 million australian dollars, but with brisbanes residents escaping relatively unscathed, they will know it could have been so much higher. Joe inwood, bbc news. Going to take you on to the situation in ferguson, as protesters in the u. S. Town are calling for more demonstrations to protest against the killing of the black teenager Michael Brown, and of course, the decision not to charge the Police Officer who shot him. Well, the numbers turning out to protesters certainly dwindled in recent days. Thats in part because of the thanksgiving holiday. But many of them do say theyll be demonstrating again soon. Reporter around the thanksgiving table in this upscale suburb of st. Louis, theres only one topic of conversation. Mike brun could have been my son. Reporter annet i met deb winslow at the protests earlier today. She promises to take to the streets again soon. The demonstrations, she says, matter to everyone. Ive been pulled over by ferguson police. I drive a convertible sports car. My life is a little bit different. But that does not remove me from those issues or those problems. You know, i feel it just like they do. You know . Were all in it together. I have got pulled over. Reporter but its young black men like deborahs son ryan who are disproportionately targeted by the police. For his generation, the shooting of Michael Brown has come to sim billionize ageold issues. Its the same thing thats been going on since probably the beginning of time. You know, from black people getting lynched to, you know, being able to sit in the back of the bus. I think its the same scenario. Reporter at a time of year when americans count their blessings, the shooting of Michael Brown has made many here realize just how much they want things to change. For shirley whos hosting this dinner, getting more black people to vote is one way to make a difference, but she believes the violence played a part, too. If you didnt have the violence, you would not have here today. He would have been another statistic. I dont condone the violence of burning down these businesses that people have worked hard for. Absolutely not. But unfortunately, just like in a war, and this is a war, there is collateral damage. And that was collateral damage. Reporter thanksgiving has given people here the chance to press pause and digest the weeks events. But in this household and so many others in this area, the question is, what next .

Intriguing in a way that he goes to the mausoleum, the man who founded the secular state of turkey, mark. Its a secular state in name only really now in terms of the sheer numbers of christians compared to muslims. Very much so, david. This is a constitutionally secular republic, founded in 1923, and therefore an important stop for pope francis at the mausoleum of the countrys founding father. Still very much revered by all turks today. And he is now you can see climbing up the steps to lay that wreath bearing the name pope francis at the mausoleum. From there, he will come over to where i am here in ankara for talks with the turkish president erdogan for matters including interfaith dialogue, and the plight of refugees. Turkey has brought in 1. 6 million syrian refugees. Turkey very much a muslim country. 99 muslim. But a rich and proud and deep christian heritage as the center of a largely Christian Byzantine empire for a thousand years, so a Perfect Place for the pope to talk about interfaith dialogue. You can see there on those live pictures as hes walking inside the mausoleum, and he will take a moment of silence before recording his name in the book of visitors at the mausoleum. It will then be a short trip here to the president ial palace. Outside the palace, the final preparations are taking place. Weve seen street cleaners. Weve seen people vacuuming up the leaves. A horsedrawn parade will accompany him, his delegation, as he comes up to the president ial palace. You can see him laying down that wreath. A hugely symbolic moment for pope francis. And a hugely important place for turkey. Even though it is almost universally muslim now, it still remembers with huge admiration, huge reverence its founding father and the allimportant secularism that is enshrined in this countrys constitution. Mark, as a threeday visit, it comes at a point where there are a huge number of refugees in turkey now having come across the border from iraq and syria. It also comes at a time which turkeys own positioning with regard to the conflicts in both those countries has been seen as am bif lant by western countries. I imagine its going to be a difficult area to address for the president and the pope . Reporter were expecting the pope to call for tolerance of the christian minority here in syria and iraq. He gave an interview to an israeli paper in which he talked about how christians were more persecuted than ever since they were founded. Were expecting the turkish president to call for the pope to speak out against islamaen n islamaphobia in the west. This is a Perfect Place for the pope to address that Division Within the Christian Church, within christianity itself. In the year 1054, the schism between the western and eastern churches meant that rome became a capital of the western latinbased Catholic Church and constantinople as it was then, now istanbul, was the center of the eastern Christian Church. And tomorrow, when the pope goes to istanbul and meets the spiritual leader of the orthodox church, patriarch bartholomew the first, the need to recognize the two strands of the Christian Church as well. So really the emphasis on dialogue, reconciliation during this important visit by the pope, the fourth pope to have visited turkey. Mark, thanks very much indeed. The pope will go on to istanbul after ankara and after having met the president at his new president ial palace. Well keep across that for you on bbc world news. Now, an online video, which appears to show an iranian woman defying irans strict laws by dancing publicly on the teheran metro has gone viral. In the video, we can see it here. Shes unidentified, gyrating away to a song by the british pop group little mix. This comes months after online footage of a group of young iranians dancing to the Pharell Williams song happy, which led to a number of arrests. Joining me, nasim from the bbcs persian service. Shes taking her life in her hands, thats exaggerating it a bit. But asking for trouble, i guess. Yes, absolutely. The video showing her breaking two laws. One being dancing, a woman dancing in public. The other being shes actually wearing it at the beginning, but then it falls off and she makes no attempt to put it back on. And thereby she does break two laws. We dont know who she is, do we . No, we dont know who she is. And we dont know the video was posted on the website my stealthy freedom. Initially it appeared online and they posted it. It is a website that gives women in iran a chance to post pictures of themselves not wearing it. A lot of women dont agree with the islamic law. Is it trending now, getting bigger and bigger, are they still relatively isolated . You know, it is actually. I was speaking to some other colleagues as well and they were saying this phenomenon of women trying to challenge this law is definitely something thats, you know, getting more and more apparent. And of course the way they can do it to appear, get out, post it is i suppose a source of considerable frustration for the authorities. It must be. I can only imagine so. It has gone viral. And its been viewed by many tens of thousands of people. So yeah, it must be. If they were to pick her up, find out who she is, what is the extent of the potential punishment for her . As was mentioned before, the group of young iranian men and women who posted the Pharell Williams video, they were given a suspended jail sentence and so yeah, potentially it could be severe, but she hasnt been there hasnt been any government reactions and hopefully there wont be.
