I'm David Manno in the coming hour why Ukrainians are in 1st by the Trump impeachment story and Afghan pilots reaching record prices could pine nuts help farmers break the Opi and habit but 1st some insights into the violent protests in Iran that erupted when fuel prices were high class money the response from the authorities was swift and deadly over 200 people reported dead and hundreds more injured by riot police and state revolutionary guards to try to understand how this happened with brought together Geog all of b.b.c. Persian and Terrenate stone of b.b.c. Monitoring as you might know is a front line war reporter but banned from Iran along with the rest of his b.b.c. Persian colleagues Tony monitors news across the region on state and social media 1st attorney how did a rise in fuel prices end in such violence I think that was the last straw people were already very frustrated very angry with corruption and the economy and that like sudden announcement without any time for people to absorb the extent of it really made people angry it was just a bunch of young frustrated men and women they were so fed up not just young I mean a 40 year old woman was killed mother of 2 Her family says she only went out to protest unemployment inflation some stores they put a sign no bread on credit which means there are families they cannot even afford buying bread in the Middle East bread is the. Basic of the food in every family if you cannot buy bread you can buy anything else but turn there the response the images I've seen of riot police have shocked me I've covered protests before and riots before but they seem to be really furious it was unprecedented actually at least for the past 30 years we haven't seen this extent of violence in this short amount of time people were very angry the security forces were very angry and the violence escalated really quickly there were gas stations many shops that where a lot of people died we don't actually know how many but Amnesty International has confirmed at least 208 people have been killed in such a short amount of time and hundreds injured and one of the senior m.p. Said around $7000.00 people were arrested but when we see those images of cars fuel stations banks being set alight does that suggest that Viz protesters are out of order you know they've gone on a riot or is it in response to the response it was just a bunk and patrol station where time the symbols of the regime particularly the supreme leader representative offices across the country state control militia the Revolutionary Guards anything was a symbol of the regime was the target of the protests and even this time around if you listen the slogans of the protestors No together no to Lebanon I sacrifice my life down with the supreme leader those slogan those chants doesn't mean people hate Lebanese or Palestinian people they understand this kind of economic chaos Iran is facing is the result of even your Revolutionary Guards adventurous policy in the region this spending and investing billions of billions of dollars in Yemen and militias in Gaza yet the people at home there are struggling for basic needs so those people in the street they believe those money should be invested in their country and in their future terrine and from what you've seen from your desk monitoring who the protesters. There is a huge difference between this protest and the previous protests say like 2009 over the controversial elections there were usually the middle class people those who were fighting for their political rise for their freedom of expression but this time the people who came out mainly the working class people who had nothing to lose people were who were fighting to be fed the majority of protests were in the outskirts of made you cities like Karachi like she was like is fine that was a major difference with 10 years ago but this time around it was in those out scared which normally is more impoverished more unemployment and those people who are in front of the protests who are attacking pretty much they don't have much to lose but in the same time if you look at the identity of those people who have been killed we see a lot of university student one of the story actually we cover which was very heartbreaking the father of the 27 year old men he was an electrical engineering graduate he was fluent in English this is what his father told us in a very measured voice and he said he wanted to immigrate to Canada for a better life but my son was shot dead by a bullet I saw right police taking batons and smashing the screens of cars on the highway these people ordinary people across the country who came out and and protested do you think they would have expected the police to respond like that I don't think so I don't think if they expect expect at that extent of violence from the police the state media and some officials say it's cold them rioters they say that they were armed but when you look at the images you see security forces shooting directly at people who are not armed something else I believe that's different about this protest has been that state media have covered it what would state media normally do with a protest they usually would be silent about it try to just wait. Until it goes away but this time after a couple of days they started showing footage of the protests but what they were showing was day point of view with the Internet shut down this state media had this opportunity to just show what they think people should see and you mentioned the Internet shut down there let's let's talk about that briefly because Was that also unprecedented that was an unprecedented thing to happen and their previous protest the office or eighty's have attempted to slow down the Internet they felt had blocked it apps or websites that could be used as a platform for opposition for the protestors but shutting down the Internet almost completely for so many days was completely unprecedented but not the entire country I think 5 percent of internet was still connected the institution the newspaper close to security force and regime they had the access in fact they were trying to control the narrative the very selective he chose those pictures and images that he's trying to depict the protester as a hooligans who are out there to vandalize a new property but those images we've seen of right police for example being out with batons were any of those images shown on state t.v. They wouldn't your uncle absolutely not you know it's the when they cut the internet it was very clear for many of us they might be bloody But when the food is came out what we saw the brutality it was far from what we expect I believe it was worse than what you explicitly I mean you to look I mean many people were injured we don't talk about those who have been killed because some of those family have been told the number is much higher in this in many family been told do not say your loved one has been killed because you have other sons and daughters you could be arrested and also many people afraid to go to hospitals they know some cities the hospital are surrounded by a revolutionary guard for one doctor told me actually they have come to our hospital moving the bandage looking for the bullet wounds and then one by bullet they take them away you. When we saw our videos they went to private clinic the poor old an injured patient taken away to prison what about covering this story how do you cover it when the Internet goes down for example Terry because you know you depend on the Internet for your monitoring and research work we rely on the social media Twitter air or Instagram to see what people say about what is happening and obviously people didn't have access to that there was an eerie calm that we knew something was happening we knew that there were protests we knew that people were getting Hertz but we didn't know what the accent was and what about you for years yet did the Internet shut down halt the in would flow of information for b.b.c. Persian art and countries actually we stop our normal programming and we use We've all life what's happening journalism is about investigating being underground also talked to a witness but we don't have none of them we don't have an office you know we don't have reporters in Iran we don't have Internet we were deprived from this pipeline of information we needed so we have to go to the old ways of be very creative there were some people are brave enough r.t. Pick up the phone and talk to us and tell us what's happening also there were some other people they walk to the border they get more well signal from neighboring countries and send the video to us we call an Iranian and Diaspora we ask them if you have a family back home please talk to them so somebody from Washington somebody from Stockholm somebody from Berlin who had a family in Shiraz all of them they would actually in this street ensure this is what happened so we bring all those information from 3 different sources obviously we were attributing we couldn't with 100 percent positive to say what happened boastings was only in this incident we have heard 20 people has been killed a doctor in the hospital in she has told us I have seen by my own eyes 10 corpses in the small city of many one people Somebody call me I could hear gunfire in the background said the city look like a war zone is a slaughter house here these blood understood so many of my colleagues in the b.b.c. Persian. I really feel the crackdown is must be very big when this blockade was removed and if we didn't start flowing in we saw how my God what was happening and these were the footage that people have taken on their on their phones basically tearing their When you look back on the past 3 weeks what does it tell you about where the Iranian government is right now I think they send the message that they will go through any extent to get the grip of what is going on in the country and they're not afraid of even shooting people this time around they were shying away from what they have done even on state television they said people have been shot there was a man actually video coming already close to the supreme leader he said if you want to change you have to have a revolution we made a revolution we lost a few 100000 to keep this revolution alive if you want to change gears get ready to be healed that was the message so clear before the protest if you remember there was a spat there was a war of words between Hasan Rouhani the president and the head of judiciary but when the protests began all of them were united whether they are right where they were left with a hard line or would have a reformist all of them they were concerned about the existence of Islamic system that's why in my opinion they came out and they wanted to Signa signal to young men and women and many families if your daughter and son come out expect them to be killed and we don't hesitate to keep the system reporting Iran that's g.-r. Goal of b.b.c. Persian and had any stone b.b.c. Monitoring You're listening to the 5th floor let's take you to. A country that's had quite a change of image over the past 3 years relations with neighbors have been mended borders open to international trade and now is biggest and wants to entice tourists and their money to visit the country's many sides the latest offer from the tortoise board is a series of remote mountaintop villages previously closed off from the rest of the country they're now open to. Visitors and b.b.c. Is breaks Rustam Coble has been there this villages are very close to Borders. And the. Civil war in the early 1990 s. After the collapse of some of it union and late 1990 s. Islamists who fled from Afghanistan into Pakistan attacked because down so since then it was big government banned anyone to travel 50 kilometers closer to border areas so all villages who were on the close to border areas were forbidden for anyone to enter except those who live there it's a very beautiful mountainous area isn't it it is beautiful Actually this is very close to my home town in the same district it is 70 kilometers of a beautiful mountain road like on your left it's steep mountains to raise lots of armor and then the structure trees on your right it's a very fast flowing river within some are about the mountains were covered with snow we just got off the car and just you know tried to touch the snow because we didn't imagine that we could find snow in some way you will keep it out I had a light jacket but it wasn't enough to keep me warm but you should have known you said it's 70 kilometers from your home town my home town was so hot like certify 40 degrees hot. You don't imagine it's the same district and you go to these mountain areas and suddenly it's like in winter so tell us about this particular village you visited a village is called it's like a small ball surrounded by mountains it's very densely populated because there is not enough land for the forests mountains and also all this mountain area set around them is nature it is there you can build a house you can't use it for agriculture or farming they are like nature the forests start there are white cloth bears and snow leopard So what is the many economic activity then in this all the time is the villagers group protect us and protect us of all the lawn very famous they are red and very soft. Different but growing potatoes doing are going to culture is very difficult there because all this land covered with stones people have to buy soil from the other parts of the district because it's so stony So land is very precious There is no courtyard you just empty your house straight to your house you know people don't live on the ground floor people live on the 1st floor you go to the 1st floor suddenly everything changes because it's like a big windows and you see this beautiful mountains and it's so warm so hot it gets its heat from the sunlight Exactly and then I understood why they have this narrow. 2 story building Tell us about the people that I stay with this family receives state of the night they want to turn their house into small guesthouse did you arrange that before you went what did you just turn up and we just learned by it was the 1st family we met it was quite called very chilly night and early morning it was so cause.
