"Any day of the week with Sina"

Hello, I'm Sina Valiollah presenting to you another episode of...

"Any day of the week" from MBC Persia channel.

Have you heard that old saying?

The asshole that itches asks for it.

This is the story of the biggest bluffer in our region.

Ten people were killed in Pakistan's early morning attack...

on a border village in Iran.

Three women and four children were killed in this incident.

These people were non-Iranian nationals.

Thank God, and thank you sir.

They attacked our country with missiles, and you are saying thank God?

If they attacked the parliament building on Baharestan Street...

or the presidential palace on Pasteur Street, you could have thanked God.

The Islamic Republic of Iran demanded an immediate explanation...

from the Pakistani authorities about the events of this morning...

in the border village near Saravan.

For the love of God, stop this violence.

You have destroyed them.

I beg you to at least stop the "immediate" part of the explanation,

and accept a normal explanation.

The early morning missile attack of the IRGC had some reactions from people.

I was so happy that I could not stay inside myself,

I could not stay inside my skin.

Yes, he could not stay inside his skin.

People have the right to be happy.

Since no Iranian plane, train, or ship was damaged among all these rockets...

a national celebration should be held.

The photos of Pishro Majid Aqa Dizayi, the famous businessman...

who lived in Iraq's Kurdistan and was killed in an IRGC missile attack,

were released that show he is standing next to a Zionist rabbi...

in the occupied territories.

Intelligence officers of the Islamic Republic...

are the only security forces in the world that identify their targets...

with Photoshop instead of GPS, drones, and spy satellites.

It's like shooting first in a shooting match...

and then moving the target around wherever the bullet hits.

The foreign minister of the Taliban government...

asked the Islamic Republic and Pakistan to exercise restraint.

In the beginning, when the Taliban regained power,

some religious fanatics tried to say that they are changed.

But now, everything is reversed, and the Taliban is trying to explain...

the Islamic Republic's actions to the people of Afghanistan.

The only government that hadn't condemned their actions...

was the original movement of the region.

The killing of five senior IRGC members in Syria.

The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic said...

that the reason for this attack is Israel's defeat in Gaza.

It is good that these people didn't invent football.

Otherwise, FIFA's law was that any team that received more goals was the winner.

Do you like to be in Gaza?

Very much, that is my wish.

I wish to go to Palestine one day.

He talks like he needs a Schengen visa to travel there.

Get up and go.

It is not like you are going to Mars.

Is it hard for you to go to Gaza? Fine.

Yemen, Syria, Lebanon.

The attack on Ain Al-Asad was not about...

the number of casualties of American forces.

So was it about the number of casualties of camels and lizards?

You plowed the deserts of Iraq so hard with your missiles,

that they can easily start farming in there.

The Americans announced that more than a hundred soldiers had concussions.

The Americans do not announce their casualties.

They announced that the casualties would not be announced.

They announced that the casualties would not be announced.

If they didn't want to announce their casualties,

they wouldn't have announced that they would not announce it.

What kind of stupid people announce that they would not announce something?

Since 1945 when Americans won World War 2,

none of the American bases was attacked by a country...

unless Americans retaliated very harshly.

You retaliated your attack so harshly...

that they didn't need to retaliate at all.

What should they retaliate?

What would the enemy do in return?

They can do whatever they want.

There is no problem and it is not important.

Thank God that we are not empty-handed.

Your hands are like your heads.

If your heads are not empty then your hands are not empty too.

Sometimes this type of ideological resistance...

endanger our material life and our livelihood.

The dollar price increases, the price of living increases,

and we might be the target for a missile attack.

Is it only Gaza?

There are Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Al-Hashd al-Shaabi.

You have adopted every terrorist group in the region.

If you paid Khums and Zakat there would be no poor person left in the country.

What percent of us pay Khums?

What percent of those who should pay Zakat, including farmers, pay Zakat?

He is right. Do you pay?

If people had paid Khums and Zakat, there was no poor person left.

But among mullahs.

And now each one of them, at least had a luxury car.

But maybe people don't believe in these things.

I wish at least those who embezzle money and wear Keffiyeh,

and always pray, would have paid Khums and Zakat for the money they stole.

We pay taxes, doctor.

Paying tax is the duty of a citizen.

Khums is the duty of a Muslim.

Even if you live in Austria, you have to pay taxes.

The difference is that in Austria people's taxes will be used...

to build roads, highways, and subways.

But in Iran, it will be used for billboards that say, death to America,

wear your hijab my sister, and pump more for more children.

Isn't it time for Iran to have nuclear weapons?

Or at least perform a nuclear test?

At least.

You are not using your other weapons like the Kheibar missile,

Heidar tank, Akbar anti-aircraft, or Qazanfar submarine,

correctly, and in the right place.

Having a Mercedes-Benz or a cheap car makes no difference...

for a man who does not know how to drive.

The successful landing of the Slim lander,

made Japan the fifth country in the world to land on the moon.

What the hell? Is that so impressive?

We projected the picture of our supreme leader on the moon half a century ago.

Don't look at today that we are living in 1400 thousand years ago.

Fifty years ago we showed the future to the world.

All the countries that had a pavilion in Dubai's Expo, were showing the future.

The only country that was selling pistachio and date...

was the Islamic Republic and its pavilion was showing its past.

It is good that they were showing the past.

Because the small amount of credit that we have among countries is due to that era.

Thank God that they were not showing our present day,

otherwise, they had to sell flower oil, camel's urine, donkey's shit,

Maqluba, and corona virus finder.

The Tehran International Tourism Exhibition is scheduled to be held...

while food and handicrafts have been removed from it,

and a final decision has not yet been made regarding the presence of musical groups.

That is natural.

When the Tourism Minister is visiting toilets on the roads,

they should sell toilet equipment at tourism exhibition,

and play fart sound instead of music.

If people of Bangladesh stop working for a week,

the people of the world will not have any underwear.

If the Vietnamese stop working for a week,

the people of the world will not have any shoes.

If the Chinese stop working for a week the world will stop.

What will happen if we, Iranians, stop working for a week?

Nothing will happen.

Who says nothing will happen?

If you shut down Iran Khodro and SAIPA just for an hour,

half of these car shops, casket sellers, and undertakers will lose their business.

Why should we make it complicated?

If God forbid, the Qom's seminary would shut down,

we all will lose our jobs here in London since we have nobody to make fun of.

With your applause...

This government event is known as the Ammar Film Festival,

in which an award called the Yemeni Dagger was awarded for the first time.

Are you awarding daggers at a film festival?

You should add suicide bombing belt,

golden noose, and honorary whip to your awards.

They are more suitable.

The international resistance poetry festival...

was held in Damascus under the title of Rhymes of Victory.

Rhymes of Victory?

Poems of bluffing was not better?

The art means, "what er thes...

"What er thes riot..."

Help me brothers.

What a grief and sadness is this?

You cannot even expect these mullahs to do a sermon.

Even parasites in nature are divided into useful and useless categories.

How could all of you be so useless?

A conference commemorating the position of women...

and commemorating Martyr Soleimani was held in the capital of India.

What do these two things have to do with each other?

It is right that women cook delicious cutlets but it is not a good reason.

Honorable commander, you have never died.

You gave your life to God just like your heart.

You stupid poet, what do you mean "you have never died"?

Haven't you eaten cutlets in your life?

By the order of the deputy mayor of Tehran, Hossein Bakhtiarizadeh,

who was the head of the Tehran University's basij,

became the head of the fruit and vegetable organization of the capital.

You say the head of basij.

It means that his brain is the size of a cherry,

his understanding is as much as a pear, and less potent that a potato.

And he is more hypocrite than an eggplant.

Do we have a better person to be the head of the fruit and vegetable organization?

I'm sure he is more tasteless than a piece of celery.

What have I done Mohammad?

When you liked to work in a circus but your father told you...

to become a religious singer and do your clown stuff at the side, that's him.

Isn't your job to make people cry?

With this behavior, people would get diarrhea.

God, deliver Islam from these religious singers.

- Amen. - Amen.

God! please after doing that,

deliver us from religion and religious singers.

God! please deliver religious singers from doctors.

By doctors you mean veterinarians, right?

He is being funny.

It was not being funny, it was shitting.

That is how an artist is, he should say what he thinks.

Would they let you say it?

You saw that I said it and nobody stopped me.

It seems that Dariush finally regrets his actions.

He decided to talk about people's rights.

Cruel executions, economic problems, poverty, embezzlement.

Just like you ordered to build a football stadium for our country,

and it was necessary because a stadium with a capacity of one hundred thousand...

is not enough and it was a very great decision.

I want to say that Vahdat Hall is also not enough for our art performances.

That is all?

You asked for a new hall?

You said "nobody stopped me" with such a tone,

that I thought you spat on the president's face,

and slapped his superior.

We are so thankful to you because of your travels to different provinces.

This is Dariush Arjmand, the actor,

who is thanking Ebrahim Raisi for his travels to different provinces.

There is only one way that we can call you an artist.

And that is if hypocrisy is a form of art like theater.

Filmmakers considered Mr. Raisi's presence on the jury of the Fajr Film Festival...

strange and unprecedented.

We are delighted to see you.

They have put us in an impasse situation.

That is exactly the situation.

The shit is "In-pass".

Each of you holding a piece of shit, you take a bite out of it and pass it along.

The president even watched the anthology of movies...

that were being shown at the festival.

Do you watch movies?

Mr. President came to the festival last year and watched movies.

Does he understand cinema with sixth-grade education, that you showed him movies?

You should have shown him Tom and Jerry, or SpongeBob so he could understand.

We should be sensitive to people's moaning.

Instead of being sensitive, pull it out so nobody moans.

Raisi said today that the world is surprised...

by the country's progress despite the sanctions.

We are close to the peak, we are almost at the top.

It takes eight to ten weeks even to conquer Everest.

What are you climbing for forty-four years, that you haven't reached its top?

Freedom of speech, freedom of writing,

freedom of thought, and freedom of opinion,

are some of the things that the Islamic regime is proud of.

Freedom of thought?

Do you mean the thing that people have been saying for years...

that is not possible with the beard?

Freedom of thought is not possible with the beard.

Freedom of thought is not possible with the beard.

Freedom of thought is just one of them.

The sea, the beach, and the mountain, the jungle, and the meadow,

the culture, the economy, the history,

saving any of these is not possible with the beard.

Those who want to destroy hopes with wrong thoughts and poisonous writings,

those who want to destroy freedom,

they should not be allowed to destroy freedom.

I wish your freedom of thought is destroyed because you don't understand it.

You should have finished your sentence before starting to threaten people.

The cultural border of the country is like its geographical border,

and the cultural borders should be guarded just like the geographical borders.

Guarding the borders?

They kill your scientist on the street, ISIS doing operations in broad daylight.

They hack your gas stations. Is this guarding?

This is farting.

- "Tehran's mayor cannot read the numbers" - Sorry, 845 billion.

162 billion and 170.

162 billion and seventeen.

Sorry, 16,217.

It was seventeen thousand and eighty-eight,

eight hundred and eighty.

He is still changing the numbers.

Now I know why religious fanatics call him "The tank of revolution".

He just crushed mathematics, numbers, and statistics.

You should not make fun of him too much.

If we give him an excuse,

he will hire his son-in-law as the deputy of numbers and counting.

Speaker of Parliament said at the anniversary ceremony of firefighters...

who were killed in the Plasco Shopping Mall incident.

It is this culture of jihad and martyrdom that leads to the efforts of...

young firefighters in the Plasco Shopping Mall incident.

Instead of culture of martyrdom you should talk about...

the culture of buying baby clothing and pacifier.

I went into the fire very fast.

I grabbed hot metals and went up myself.

You took off your suit and wore your Superman clothes,

you turned your back to the fire and extinguished it with your fart.

The recorded temperature...

was around five hundred.

That is the recorded temperature.

Five hundred?

His melting point is higher than the melting point...

of half of the metals in the periodic table.

If they take him to the foundry...

they might make a watering can or something useful out of him.

More than fifty percent of unsafe buildings are insured.

Is the problem of unsafe buildings not having insurance?

Do you want to be sure that if they collapse, insurance will pay people?

If they put a black shirt and some funeral food in a cheap car's glove compartment,

and put a tombstone in its trunk, would it become a safe car?

For their child to be a girl,

they should soak the cotton in organic apple cider vinegar...

and put it in the vagina half an hour before intercourse.

And then pull it out.

Isn't it better to put some cabbage, carrot, garlic, and cucumber in it too?

This way, if they would not get pregnant, at least they would have some pickles.

After the husband's ejaculation,

wife should have an orgasm.

It is becoming complicated.

Is there a manual?

At least talk slower so that people can take notes.

It is a sensitive matter and a small mistake may change the result.

People who listen to you, are not very bright,

they should make a baby like an open-book exam.

The husband should not have deep penetration.

Half of the penis or a third of the penis is enough.

Damn, making a girl is more difficult than...

the code exam of the civil engineering organization.

Dear friends, don't forget to have a timer, ruler,

set square, protractor, and engineering calculator in the bedroom.

The wife should lie on her back and the husband should lie on his left side.

Wife, on her back, and husband on his left side?

Can you explain by drawing pictures?

No matter how hard I try, I cannot imagine it, it is not possible physically.

Until his wife gets pregnant,

he should drink...

a spoon of brewed Fennel every day, no more.

What happens if he drinks more?

Would the child be too much of a girl?

For lunch he should eat lentil,

or cooked mutton, or grilled mutton.

He should have said it sooner.

Meat is eight hundred thousand tomans per kilogram,

and Kebab is a hundred and fifty thousand per meal.

Having a girl is not economical.

Husband and wife should eat sweet lemon with their lunch and dinner.

Why should the husband eat it?

He did his job and it is over.

What difference does it make if he eats sweet lemon?

I leave a part of my heart...

for...

my dear Imam of Friday prayer.

Poor thing.

Have you left a part of your heart?

Interesting, because these days people are leaving a part...

of their bowel contents for you every time they see the prices.

An athlete has made a strange claim.

- What claim? - I cannot...

For example, he said they killed a lot of people.

- Didn't they? - No.

I will not trust anything that the media is saying...

until I see the official records.

Any media, domestic or foreign.

You can't believe the dead and blind people of a year ago...

that there are so many videos, interviews, and photos of them.

You are saying it needs official records.

But if they say, 1400 years ago someone was killed,

you don't need any official records for it.

It is a tradition in Latin America. They are so light.

If they enjoy the speech, women will present the speaker with a hug.

They opened their arms.

We are standing here to give you a hug.

It means I want to give you a finger.

I said, a Muslim mullah cannot accept this gift from you.

They said such a pity.

He is right.

A Muslim mullah can only hug his wife and his brother-in-law.

I saw them coming towards me.

They said he cannot hug us but we can kiss him.

It is not strange, people around the world have different cultures and beliefs.

For example, in Iran, people think of a cow as a dumb animal.

But the same cow is very respectable in India.

You are the same.

He said "Mullahs won't kiss anyone".

Again, the girl said "Such a pity".

It is a pity that you have such a gift for writing erotic stories,

but instead of screen-writer for pornographic movies, you became a mullah.

Pay attention to the understanding of an old man from Colombian politics.

He said this is Khomeini's soldier, and he is a young man like you.

He has lust too.

But Khomeini taught them.

First, they must fight their lust and then they can fight America and Israel.

That guy even wrote about enjoying a nine-year-old girl in his book.

How did he teach them to control their lust?

The head of the publishing house of Khomeini's works said,

the most golden part of Khomeini's thinking was his view towards women.

He does not mean that normal golden.

A light golden leaning toward dark brown.

Ladies came to the stadium and they had handbags.

Full of objects that usually women use,

and they can be thrown into the field.

Do you mean lipstick, mirror, and eye shadow that women have in their handbags,

are more dangerous than fireworks, firecrackers,

and handmade bombs that men have?

Close your eyes and think that...

you are going to the stadium with your family.

What can you see?

The way you are having fun in your imagination...

I think instead of the stadium you are going inside your brother-in-law.

Fighting, mayhem, curse words.

These things are happening on the street and in the subway too.

Do you want to prevent them from getting out of the house...

instead of preventing them from going to the stadium?

Religious leaders and religious people...

are against women's attendance at stadiums.

Don't worry about them.

Give them some percent of the money from women's tickets,

the day after that women's attendance at stadiums would become religious law.

- Don't they serve alcoholic drinks? - No.

Of course they do, in Germany...

an alcoholic beverage company has laid a pipe from the factory to the stadium.

- You know this. - Where?

In Germany.

- In Germany, you should look it up. - Why should they lay a pipe?

Study a little bit.

A stadium in the world has done this for advertising.

You should lay a pipe to the stadium containing water...

so people can wash their asses after going to the toilet.

In America and many other countries serving alcoholic drinks is mandatory.

They are drinking.

Where in the world it is mandatory?

Mandatory alcoholic drink?

Do you mean someone tests people for alcohol...

and if they have not drunk...

they will whip and pour alcohol down their throat?

I have visited thirty or forty stadiums in the world because it was my duty.

- They don't drink? - No, this not correct.

So, where have I got this information?

Where do they take you, sir?

We have the same question, how do you come up with this bullshit?

So, you don't know yourself.

A woman with long hair,

as if she is in Los Angeles and she is walking in Champs-Élysées.

It is ten hours from Los Angeles to Champs-Elysées by plane.

How could someone in Los Angeles in America...

be walking in Champs Élysées in France?

She is walking with a hat on her head.

Everyone is filming her.

This will be released on the internet and everyone will watch her.

It is a normal thing for them in other countries, so they will not watch it.

The thing that they have never seen is idiots like you.

What was the 2030 Agenda?

The boys and girls should be in the same classroom from kindergarten to college.

The horrors that happened in the West.

What is the white marriage?

In the 2030 Agenda, they say you should remove witnesses from marriage.

Stadium, FIFA, Rouhani, the 2030 Agenda,

kindergarten, white marriage, martyrdom, girl, boy,

just like that song by Benyamin with the lyric that says, watch, wall, home, comb,

he is just saying some words after each other.

Someone should shut this crazy off so we can do the rest of the show.

For the love of God.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy things.

Dear countrymen, welcome to this news section.

Are you ready my dear?

Do you think they will warn us for this dress?

Honey, it is the election season, you can wear whatever you want.

You are right, let me change.

Let's go honey.

"Moein concert" "Tickets for sale"

This life will not stay like this.

The day after the election.

Don't you know shame?

You deluded anarchist.

Have you thought all seasons are election season?

You stupid politics lover.

Why did they send me a hijab warning text message?

The singer from Los Angeles was arrested.

The main accused called NM, was sentenced to life imprisonment.

He was the leader of a group that indulged in indecency in public.

Did you think you would be arrested?

No, I never thought we would be arrested.

Once again, the members of this dreaded gang were identified...

with the intelligence elites of the security forces,

and after the sentence was issued,

they were arrested and handed over to the judicial authorities.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy thing, thingy things.

Thingy things.

- Hello dear Sina. - How are you dear Shadi?

Thank you.

What were you doing at the back of the studio?

- At the back? - What were you eating?

- What are talking about? - What is that?

This? This is coffee.

- Were you drinking coffee? - Yes, coffee.

- Tea or coffee? - Coffee.

Coffee is fine, but never drink tea.

Why?

- None of you should ever drink tea. - What happened?

- Why? - Did you drink tea?

Tea is the red line now.

Tea is the red line, maybe it even becomes forbidden like cutlets.

If someone post a picture of his tea, they might arrest him.

I'm serious, it is possible.

- Really. - It is serious.

Didn't you see?

I hope you are happy with your family.

These hours it is great to drink a "De"...

a hot tea.

He was having a heart attack.

Tea Bag is now like their previous presidents.

We cannot say their names now.

As you see, Rouhani, Hassan is now rejected from being a candidate.

A person becomes president and then they throw him into sewage.

They are completely human waste and they cannot be used.

They should not mention the name of that tea...

because of embezzlement of this magnitude.

They should not talk about tea at all.

Embezzlement is not important.

They fight embezzlement with...

the weapon of indifference.

They say that we should ignore it so much that it will be destroyed.

Ignore it, don't talk about it.

Don't talk about it.

Here you go.

I cannot do a sermon.

Someone who has attended my sermon for twenty years.

He tells me that you are not ashamed to talk about piety.

Now that this corruption has happened,

he is not worried about corruption and embezzlement.

He is not worried about people's money, he is worried about his job security.

He says how can I talk about Karbala again when such embezzlement has happened.

As I said they have a very special view of issues.

They are worried about themselves,

they are worried that they cannot be freeloaders anymore.

- Well... - They are right to be worried.

Anyway, people should not be sensitive.

Yes, people are too much sensitive.

Suddenly, it is announced that a thousand billion has been lost.

What does it mean that it is lost?

This person is guilty.

He gave the worst blow to people's faith.

What does it mean?

He says that if it is announced that a thousand billion is lost,

the loss of that money does not harm people's faith.

People's faith is strong like iron.

Until its news is published.

When the news is published, people's belief will be hurt.

It will break like a China bowl.

As you know the most important issue...

their goal in running the regime is this,

Whoever publishes the news is a criminal.

Not the real criminal.

It is a very special system.

If corruption or embezzlement is announced,

people become extremely sensitive.

People become extremely sensitive.

People become sensitive.

What should we do so that people won't become sensitive?

Not doing corruption?

No, no, that is not an option.

They cannot stop corruption, how can they live?

- Then what? - Think of something else.

Shutting down the internet is something that they know, teach them something new.

They need a new way.

They should do the corruption quietly.

Yes, they should do it in a way that its news does not get released.

Because as long as nobody knows about the corruption it is a duty.

When everyone understands, it becomes clear that there was corruption.

I wish they would spend at least a small amount...

of the money, they steal in English classes.

At least when you are in an international meeting, don't screw up like that.

Is it main "Kay" two...

Is it...

Is the main key...

to the restoration,

of security to the region.

Well done.

Very...

I don't get it. You God damn stupid.

You asshole.

You have not written this text yourself,

while doing other things.

They wrote it a week ago and gave it to you.

In "Finglish", Farsi, and with all kind of hints to make it easy for you to read.

You should have read it once, instead of going around and bluffing.

God damn you.

He could not read "Key", a simple word like "Key".

Damn you.

"Friendly"

Well dear Shadi.

Tonight's guest.

We have...

so many great artists in different fields,

that no matter how many of them we invite to our show,

there are still more of them out there,

and we are not able to invite them all.

Tonight, one of our female artists,

a great musician with a wonderful voice is our guest.

I want to go to mountains to hunt deer.

I want to go to mountains to hunt deer.

Where is my gun dear Leili?

Where is my gun?

Where is my gun dear Leili?

Where is my gun?

Azadeh Akhbari.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you, thank you for inviting me.

- You are a dear. - You are a dear.

What a beautiful necklace.

Thank you, I bought this from a shop in Brighton when I was on tour.

I thought it was a good symbol of freedom.

It evokes exactly that meaning.

What is the news?

How are you? How is the work?

Work is good, thank you.

I'm always composing songs and writing lyrics.

And I think music is my life.

It is in my heart.

In the past few years, I wrote some songs that I am satisfied with.

I worked with an artist on a music video.

He drew all the frames of my video by hand.

And I was so satisfied with his work.

It's a beautiful life.

And you are beautiful sight.

And it suites me just fine,

to get lost in your eyes.

It's not complicated,

when I didn't got what I wanted.

No regrets it's a mystery that just feels right.

And I work in London's studios, I compose music...

- You are so busy then. - for clients.

You are composing for different shows as well.

For different shows and different television channels.

I haven't composed for shows yet.

- I haven't found the way yet. - You will find it I'm sure.

I hope so.

I'm sure that will happen.

How long does it take...

How long does the process of composing and writing the lyrics for you?

In a good day and if I have a strong feeling about something,

I can compose a song in an afternoon.

- Well done. - But...

Do you mean writing the lyrics and composing the song?

In Farsi or English?

- In English. - In English.

You are more comfortable with English.

Yes, I'm more comfortable with English, but I like to sing Farsi songs,

but I don't compose them myself, I arrange old songs.

Do you want to do it in future? Do you like to do it?

Yes, I like it very much.

I do it even now, I...

- You arrange old songs. - Yes.

- Great. - Yes, yes.

Have you ever worked with Iranian singers and artists?

I did work with...

a lot of Iranian musicians and...

I performed in many Iranian environment.

For example I was invited to America, to Diaspora Arts Connection.

For the night of female musicians, I sang there...

with Golnar Shahyar, with Elaha Soroor,

with Ariana Vafadari.

- with a lot of female singers. - That is wonderful.

They are some of the great singers,

- they have great performances. - Very great.

Their music touched us and other audiences.

- How great. - Yes.

So Iran's issues affect you and you are in contact with Iran.

So you have a close relationship with the issues inside Iran...

and it affects your music, right?

Yes, very much. It is true that I born in here and I grew up and studied in London,

but I see myself as an Iranian,

and my heart is always and will be with Iranians and it.

And...

during the green movement I composed a few songs for Iran.

One of the was "My Asylum" and another one was "Sons And Daughters".

They are about the bitterness of war and the sweet taste...

of peace and freedom.

To live your life away so real.

It's not that easy, to imagine I...

was never there in the first place... place,

in the first place... place.

in the first place.

Don't you remember my face,

remember my face,

remember my face.

You born here and you liked music,

is there anyone else in your family who like music or doing music?

A lot of my family members like music but...

as you know the previous generation was focused mostly on...

- On becoming doctors and engineers. - Exactly, exactly, but...

They were more focused on being doctors and civil engineers.

- Three of very important jobs. - Also lawyers.

- Yes, lawyers. - Yes, that too.

Which one of your songs do you like more?

which one of your songs do you think is a hit song?

Among those songs I composed I think...

my favorite song is called "The Cure".

It translates into Farsi to the medication.

The reason I like this song so much is that...

it is the essence of what I do.

What do you mean? It means that you are a doctor.

You heal people.

She is some kind of doctor.

She is some kind of doctor.

Yes, music is a cure for me, and I think every time I perform this song...

I have a great feeling and...

If we can free ourselves from the limitations,

constraints and comments around us,

we can put our hands on what life has given us.

You mean we can stay away from judgments.

Now I see, this is the only remedy.

This is the antidote I need.

This is the cure to my disease.

Now I see, this is the rhythm that I bleed.

This is the music that I breathe.

This is the cure to my disease.

The cure to my disease.

The cure to my disease.

Of course, the art has different forms and...

life pulls us to different sides.

In addition, I should say that I do not see a negative point in the judgment.

Even harsh and bitter judgments.

Even swearing is a different look at the matter.

- Yes. - I mean...

everyone has different tastes.

He does not like music, he does not like you, or your music genre.

These are not personal things,

You have to look at them in general.

You have to see it as the reaction of this person to this artwork, and not to you.

Some people take it personally and think that...

someone's reaction is to their person.

They get disappointed, they quit, it affects their work,

I hope that it does not happen to you.

I hope you won't react to criticism by being disappointed.

No, you have to be focused on music.

Because as I said music is a cure for me.

That feeling of being free that have when I do music is a strong sign for me.

It tells me that where I am is where I should be and I'm happy there.

I mean composing and writing lyrics is my life.

Wonderful.

Let's go to the control room and we will be back.

Thank you.

We are all waiting to get to...

the music performance section and see her performance,

and enjoy her beautiful voice.

But until then...

we should enjoy her stories.

How did you begin music?

some of your family member liked music but none of them were musicians.

How did you get into music? How did your family support you?

I was playing piano since I was five.

I always loved music.

- You were taking piano lessons. - Yes, piano lessons.

I have a picture that I'm sitting behind the piano like this.

I loved music since I was a child.

When I was a teenager, my mom came home one day with a guitar.

After that I composed songs for all my lyrics.

- OK. - And...

I studied in college and my parents were happy.

Did you become a doctor or not?

Although, your mom and your family are here.

It does not seem that they wanted you to become a doctor or an engineer.

They were supporting you so much to become a musician, is that right?

- Yes. - Yes, it was like that.

Did you become a doctor or an engineer or not?

What did you study in college?

I studied political science and English language, unfortunately.

Political science.

- Unfortunately. - Unfortunately.

Political science is good.

You can relate it to becoming an international lawyer.

Yes.

It is good enough. But they were happy with your education.

I went to work in European parliament in Brussels.

Did you really work in European parliament?

Yes.

- Oh my God. - But I let it go.

Why? The European parliament in Belgium?

Yes.

How long were you there?

About two years.

But its music scene was not good and I wanted to come back to London.

You worked in European Parliament and then...

She wanted their music section to be more active but they did not accept it.

They were too much political.

It was not acceptable.

It was a great job.

It was a great time for me, I was working for a minister.

We were constantly traveling to Strasbourg, it was great.

- But something was missing. - Did he know about your music talent?

Yes, actually after some years he came to my concerts.

- Really? - Yes, yes.

So cool. What a cool guy he was, you had a cool boss.

Yes, very much so.

Then I came back to London and I focused on music.

I said that is enough, I have to just do music.

What was your parents reaction?

You were working in European parliament...

and suddenly you came back home and you said I want to play guitar and piano.

Well I finished my college, I had my Masters degree.

I found a great job and then I said...

- I cannot do more. - I did my duty.

- Yes. - She did what they wanted.

After that, I was invited to a music competition and I won.

I won a great guitar and after that...

How oppressed she says her honors and one after another they become more impressive.

OK.

After that, I start living independently.

After that, you just won a few Oscars and Emmys.

You did nothing special.

It seems that you are teaching music to children.

I mean you teach music to kids. Yes?

Yes, I have a company for several years and we teach music to children.

Recently, after my child was born, this job has become more sweet for me.

And...

I can see how much music is affecting children's growth.

- It effects on their spirits. - on their spirits.

Do your children like music too?

- Yes, a lot. - Really? Are they musicians?

Do they play music? Or do they try to make some noise with an instrument?

- Because some children don't do that. - Yes, they like music very much.

They like to dance a lot.

In my job I can see that even a child who cannot speak yet,

he can sing or even write lyrics, and understand the rhythm.

And you can understand that music is an international language,

that everyone can connect to.

Exactly. How many siblings are you?

How many children I have?

No, how many siblings you have?

We are two.

- Two sisters? - A doctor.

OK, a doctor and an ex-member of the European Parliament, right?

I'm the eldest.

You are the eldest, so you have a doctor in the family.

Yes, yes, my parents are happy.

- Sister or brother? - Brother.

Brother, great so all of your parents' wishes came true.

They are laughing, and they are happy with the results.

Yes.

Have you ever wrote a lyrics in Farsi? Can you do it?

You might not used it, but...

Have you test it?

have you test to write a song in Farsi.

I really like that but...

I don't have the courage to write a song in Farsi.

Why? You speak Farsi very well.

- My Farsi is not that good. - Your Farsi is great.

She said my Farsi is so bad and you should give me the questions before the show.

- You are answering everything. - You are talking very great.

Don't you have any lyrics in Farsi?

Those themes that I like to talk about...

is not possible to say in daily language, you know what I mean?

You mean Farsi poems that cannot turn into conversational language.

Yes.

This is an old topic, they say you cannot do that.

It is possible, everything is possible.

But we are not used to it.

Because we never saw such a thing...

we think that it is not possible because we never heard something like it.

Or we think it is wrong, or it is not going to work for us if we do it.

But it is not right.

- Maybe I'll try. - Try it.

Tonight, when you go home, write your first Farsi poem and send it to us,

if it is great and I'm sure it is,

we will invite you to perform it for us on the show.

When I was a child my parents always played Iranian music in our home,

that is why I like old Iranian songs.

Hayedeh, Dariush, and other legends.

Without you in any meadow,

like a homeless nightingale,

I was crazy.

I knocked on every door...

and then I passed out in the pub.

If a party was held in a secluded corner,

far from the people of the world.

I have a special place in my heart for old songs.

I like to arrange old songs and somehow...

- Great. - So you will sing for us.

You will sing for us tonight.

One of the songs you arranged yourself.

One of the old ones, a cool one.

The one that you love.

The song that I will perform for you today is "Kiss Me".

- Awesome. - Awesome. awesome.

Very beautiful.

Very beautiful, then we are waiting to see your performance.

- Thank you. - Well done to you.

- I hope you enjoy. - Thank you very much.

We enjoyed talking to you.

I hope that you have more success in the future.

We can brag about you.

We will say our family member worked in the European Parliament.

Applaud her.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you for coming.
