But they tune into BBC to see exactly what is happening inside the country.

I just want to give you an example.

A few years ago in Istanbul, I saw Iran foreign minister.

He recognized me by face.

He said, oh, you are in BBC.

He says, oh, I'm glad you are watching BBC.

No, no, I don't watch BBC.

He says, how do you know me then?

BBC Persian, I think amongst all the languages in the BBC World Service, we are the busiest one for obvious reasons.

Just look at the past two years.

Just imagine the breaking news and the kind of load we have.

So sometimes when something important like this happening,

we increase our daily program.

We have eight hours live program, and obviously it's repeating itself.

But when there is breaking news, some important issues happening, so we increase our bulletins.

For example, if normally we start 2.30 a.m.,

BST, British time, we start at 1130.

If there is something happening, if there is a, let's say war, if there is a protest in Iran, if there is a negotiation with the US.

So BBC Persian extremely busy.

I don't know if should I say, unfortunately, unfortunately, as a journalist, I think we're going to have a job for the next 5000 years.
