00:00:00.080 Australia right now the the soccer the Iranian women yes soccer team that's over there right
00:00:05.680 we've seen the clips where they you know didn't uh uh sing the Iranian national anthem that was
00:00:12.640 taking place and then all of a sudden they are about to go back home this is the footage that
00:00:17.920 we've all seen I'm sure you've seen this many times and so you're seeing this and then Iranian 1.00
00:00:23.760 state tv comes out after not performing you know not uh following the song uh rob if you can go
00:00:32.560 back to the other one with iranian state tv how he reacted to it this is how this is a guy that's
00:00:37.680 for iranian state tv and here's what he had to say right after seeing this you should punish
00:00:45.200 traitors harder during war whoever takes one wrong step against the country during war you
00:00:52.000 You have to respond to them harder.
00:00:54.540 Like the story of our woman national team not singing the anthem.
00:01:01.760 You have to respond harshly.
00:01:03.660 It's not a symbolic act or mere protest.
00:01:06.900 Not singing is the highest order of treason.
00:01:12.660 Both people and officials must treat them as traitors.
00:01:15.060 You can pause it right there.
00:01:16.000 I mean, you get the idea what they're saying, right?
00:01:18.540 And now, while they were leaving, you know, people were standing, protesters in front of the bus, not allowing them to leave, you know, not allowing them to go back to the country.
00:01:28.400 The President, Trump, asked Australia to give them asylum, which I believe the Prime Minister Albanese gave them.
00:01:35.360 Well, five, from what I understand, the latest information is five have sought asylum and been granted asylum.
00:01:42.780 and they already have pictures now with the relevant minister
00:01:48.040 and interestingly in the picture every single woman had the hijab off.
00:01:53.080 So it just shows you, yes, off straight away
00:01:55.700 because this is something that's forced upon women. 1.00
00:01:58.940 You know, you see some women in the West wearing the hijab
00:02:03.900 and that always kind of gets me curious about why you'd want
00:02:10.200 to be in the West if you are that devout.
00:02:12.780 as many Muslim-majority countries, but all five had their hijabs off. 0.83
00:02:17.300 The fear is that the rest of the women who might be wanting 0.63
00:02:22.280 to seek asylum do not have the opportunity
00:02:24.540 because their handlers have really kept them away from anybody
00:02:29.560 and so I think there were people at the bus shouting to them in Persian
00:02:34.920 saying, here we go, there's the five ladies with hijabs off. 1.00
00:02:37.820 um yeah so they there were people shouting at them in persian telling them you can seek asylum
00:02:45.960 do this giving them instructions but they were bundled off to the airport that flight went to
00:02:52.320 sydney and then in sydney they're due to take an international flight back so that's where i'm
00:02:59.040 hoping that authorities intervene and speak to these women one-on-one without their 0.71
00:03:05.900 entourage who is going to be controlling them and preventing them from speaking freely
00:03:11.420 because I can't imagine any of them not wanting to seek asylum obviously some might have children
00:03:18.300 at home families as even talk about some of their families already being targeted back in Iran
00:03:23.300 so maybe they're eager to get back to to try to help there and explain themselves but um I really
00:03:32.440 do fear for these girls going back what's going to happen to them uh you know the regime they're
00:03:38.260 unhinged they're brutal they're unhinged and it doesn't bear thinking about what could happen to
00:03:44.300 these girls so i'm hoping that the rest of them get asylum before um yeah before they're forced 1.00
00:03:51.720 to leave now the fear becomes you know they'll come out if if you know their tactics what are
00:03:57.540 some things that could happen that would target the family families first um particularly if they
00:04:03.940 have children but you know women this age that would have parents that would have grandparents
00:04:08.860 and can you just imagine in at any time in iran being in the crosshairs of the regime because
00:04:15.900 once they've got you in their sides it's very difficult to to have any sort of normality in
00:04:21.260 your life if you're deemed some sort of collaborator with the enemy so um that that would be the great 0.99
00:04:29.220 fear and the fear is if they go back what will happen to them will they be tortured into
00:04:35.240 confessing to something will they be locked up will they be assaulted or i'm almost the best
00:04:42.280 case scenario is they'll be forced to mouth some propaganda that will get let them off the hook
00:04:50.580 and that's the best you can hope for.
00:04:52.420 So it's pretty grim.
00:04:54.560 Do you know who the lady was on the sideline
00:04:56.780 that had a smile on her face with her arms across? 1.00
00:04:59.280 Was she someone's mother?
00:05:00.380 That I can't tell you.
00:05:01.380 I don't know if she's a team official
00:05:03.360 or if she's a, if she's, yeah, related to a team.
00:05:08.660 Someone's mother?
00:05:10.200 Rob, is there a way to find out who she is?
00:05:12.180 I'll see.
00:05:12.900 Yeah, I'm curious to know who she is
00:05:14.180 because if she's smiling, you know what that look to me is?
00:05:17.120 that's a look of somebody that's supporting the girls not singing the national anthem that she
00:05:24.840 may have been a part of the decision because why would she be smiling like that yeah and why would 0.92
00:05:30.880 they go to her is she someone's mother is she a head coach is she a general manager is she a
00:05:35.960 decision maker what's going to happen to her did she go back to iran because she's got her job on 0.96
00:05:40.480 but not fully she's shown some of her hair so i'm curious to know
00:05:44.920 who she is because if this is a collective decision that was made
00:05:51.060 um is that the same lady i don't think so i'm not sure how to tell from that's the 0.99
00:06:03.360 hard to tell from this angle yeah it's it looks like they were united the team certainly looked
00:06:12.300 united that those out on the field looked united um that that that does that is her she's the head
00:06:18.480 coach um and there's there was all sorts of uh talk in australia because we've had
00:06:26.440 for several weeks now major story be this scandal with our government bringing back the ISIS brides 0.99
00:06:35.040 as they're called so these are women who left Australia often young women um very young women
00:06:42.060 to travel to the caliphate to marry Islamic State fighters and now they've had children over there
00:06:47.520 so the children are obviously innocent but the majority of Australians do not want these women 1.00
00:06:53.260 back into the country that we regardless of whether they're citizens or not they chose 1.00
00:06:58.460 to go and join this brutal backward sadistic death cult and god knows what sort of atrocities 1.00
00:07:08.760 they themselves committed over there when islamic state ran the caliphate and now the caliphate's 0.98
00:07:14.200 fallen they want to come back to australia well get stuffed we don't want you back but the 0.99
00:07:19.840 government is bending over backwards the labour government to to bring them back so when this
00:07:25.780 issue happened and you've got these women taking this brave stance and they weren't being helped
00:07:32.520 um you know it's like what we want the isis brides back but we don't want to grant asylum 1.00
00:07:37.540 to these women so yeah i think the government felt the heat and has now um granted asylum 1.00
00:07:44.640 very quickly to those first five but yeah it remains to be safe more can be more can be saved
00:07:50.540 and of course president trump sent that message that was very powerful um calling on the australian
00:07:56.080 government to take action and saying if you don't we will we will do it yeah yeah it was impressive
00:08:02.060 to see that taking place i thought it was very honorable and great timing and god willing all
00:08:06.580 these girls will be fine and their families will be fine as well as they're going through this
00:08:10.200 for some of you that are watching it that are fans she's officially on the next so if you want
00:08:13.600 to connect her and ask her questions, you can. I think her QR code is going to be somewhere below
