The fight online against the Islamic State group in mosul and the dancers who broke down barriers to become the first black classical ballet com pa ny. But first, as part of the bbcs crossing divide season, we bring you two perspectives on a historic moment in the relationship between the us and iran. In 1979, a group of iranian students overran the us embassy in tehran and took good morning. The americans welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson inside and tina daheley. 0ur headlines today hostage. The ministry ofjustice launches an urgent review of the licence we had an opportunity to convey conditions of all terrorists freed the message of the iranian from prison in response to fridays people to the world.

Voices support joe root finds some form in new zealand. For the he hits an unbeaten century, students action. As england edge themselves back into the i was attending classes at second test the university when i was approached by some of the students who told me in hamilton. That the students inside the embassy, they need you. Good morning. A cold and frosty they are asking start for many of for you tojoin them. We were us some sunshine young people. Later on but watch out for mist and fog patches. All personally, i the details in was a 15 young student. Minutes. I had no military experience, the government is reviewing i had no experience in the licence conditions of every dealing with reporters, no experience in dealing with such a convicted terrorist who has been freed from prison, serious responsibility. The students started in the wake of the attack making contact with their friends in the states, other iranian at London Bridge. Students who were there. Two people were fatally stabbed they started constructing a delegation of on friday by a man who had been american jailed in 2012 for his role in an alqaeda inspired plot. John mcmanus is on London Bridge people. For us this morning. This is as close as we they would be invited can get to to visit iran for about a London Bridge. The bridges still week, directly they could closed traffic and the buses you can come and see what was happening in iran, see what is happening with the students, who these people are. We had arranged everything and they arrived one by one, from the airport, naturally they were very tired. We went together to visit a localfactory into iran. The workers there started speaking about the problems that they had during the shahs regime. The shah was always talking about the doors of civilisation, but these doorways were nowhere in sight for our workers, for the people who actually were suffering due to the severe poverty, the economic challenges that the country had at that time. We had a visit to the cemetery where thousands of martyrs of the revolution lie there. There is an opportunity to speak about the revolution itself. If we intend to confront violence, if we intend to confront war in todays world, if we intend to establish and restore a just world order for peace, forjustice, by the betterment of humanity, before all we need to engage in dialogue. A dialogue that will promote a profound understanding between the east and the west. She went on to become a cabinet member and the iranians government. If we intend to confront violence, if we intend to confront war in todays world, if we intend to establish and restore a just world if we intend to confront violence, if we intend to confront war in todays world, if we intend to establish and restore a just world order for peace, forjustice, by the betterment of humanity, before all we need to engage in dialogue. A dialogue that will promote a profound understanding between the east and the west. She went on to become a cabinet member and the iranians government. Now, from the other side of the cultural divide, we hearfrom the rabbi who was a member of the delegation. He visited iran at the time. Demands calling for the Immediate Release of 60 americans being held prisoner in iran. The hostages had been kept inside the embassy. The embassy is now controlled by a large group of students. The students are followers of the rule of iran, the ayatollah camino. Khomenei. Members of the delegation assembled at the church on the Upper West Side of manhattan. And, i guess, we were taken to Kennedy Airport and we took off to tehran. There were many members of the delegation from different parts of the country, but they seemed to be, you know, of the same mind. That they wanted to help. I felt very purposeful. Very committed. Very focused on my mission. That i would employ every fibre of my being to make it successful, to reach out to the hostages and to comfort them at a very difficult time. When we landed at the airport, here was an airport like a terminal atjfk, ripped off all the signs and just pictures of the revolution. There where militants with guns. It was hard to be one on one with these people. I just remember empathising, but really not have much interaction with the ordinary people, the people in huts, the people in poverty. I remember it being very intense and iran, like every moment of the day was prayerful, it was dedicated, it was acutely alert, all of the senses. The day we saw the hostages, valentines day, there was a knock on the door, then all of a sudden here we are, in front of the embassy. There are the students, they look like 11 year old students doing their homework. But they had machine guns. And we were, i guess, searched and checked out and so on, and brought into a room in the embassy that had been covered with blankets and maybe pictures. And then, the hostages came in, they looked nervous. So, i remember breaking the ice with them and saying, hey, guys, i guess you want to know who won the world series, and they sort of relaxed. They said they were treated ok, but by that time i was very, very doubtful. As we were leaving, they said, we have to detain you, one of you received a secret message from one of the hostages. So, they took me apart from the other americans and searched me. Right down to my underwear, after the longest 10 15 minutes of my life, they let me go. I remember we were quite tired from all these efforts. We hoped that we did our best, could we have done more . But at least when i come back i will be able to tell people a story that is more true. About what happens to human beings and how they suffer, without in any way condoning the taking of hostages. And when the american hostages were finally released from the tehran embassy, the rabbi was invited to greet them at the white house. Now, to east germany, where in the autumn of 1989 a series of mass demonstrations in the city of leipzig shook the communist though to the core and paved the way for the fall to the berlin wall. Here is the story of one of the protesters. In 1989, i was living in leipzig, in east germany as a peace activist and singer songwriter as part of the oppositional movement. When i was a student at high school, i started being observed by the socialist secret service of the gdr. Because of my oppositional writings, of poems and songs and so on. Since 1987, istarted being a member of a circle of oppositional dissidents around Protestant Church in the centre of leipzig. In the beginning of the 80s, i started something that we called the peaceful prayer movement. This was once a week and it was kind of peacefuk prayer against this logic of the cold war. What many east germans seem to object to is not socialism as such, but this cold authoritarian version that has been thrust upon them. A frustration summed up in the contrast. In the centre of leipzig at the weekend another dissenting view has been articulated. The demonstrators and the new political groups formed a la poland and hungary are calling for democracy and free elections. Everybody was in fear of a civil war and nobody could imagine what follows that, with the russian interfering. We thought if theyre would be civil war in leipzig, maybe the west had to react. When i went to church that afternoon to do the preparations for the peace prayer, i can see that already thousands and ten thousands of people had filled the whole centre of leipzig. I could see families with little children, with grandmothers, old people and so on. I really asked myself, what will happen to them if we would really have a violent conflict . s but when the church doors were closed for the prayer, we could only we could only hear that something was going on outside. We could hear people shout, we could take the sirens of police cars and so on. When the doors opened at the end of this peace prayer, we could not go out, because the city was so crowded, everybody was waiting outside. There was no space for the people to go out. Nobody in this situation wanted to give the order to shoot. Why . There is only one answer, because we were too many in the streets. They were prepared for maybe three or 4000 people, more than 70,000 people, some experts say 120,000 people, came to leipzig, stood in the street and said ok, troops. If necessary, shoot us, but know that you are the peoples army, Peoples Police and we are the people. At the end of this evening you could not see a conflict line any more. It was really a party atmosphere. I remember people sitting in and on the with of a police car, having a cigarette together with the policeman and giving a light to each other. Everything that followed after that, a few months later the wall came down, a few months later we had the very first free elections in east germany. Nearly exactly one year later we had the reunification of germany. It was a consequence of that moment, the moment when the decision was made, this conflict will end peacefully.

But one historian living in the city decided to launch a counter narrative. He told witness history at great personal risk he set up the website mosul eye to expose the atrocities of violence taking place in his city.
