I'm Janet Jalil and at 16 hours GMT on Friday the 30th of January, these are our main stories. Iran says it's ready for talks with the US, but only on equal terms, after Donald Trump's threats of military action. China lists sanctions on a group of British parliamentarians during a visit by the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer. The US president nominates an outspoken critic of the central bank, the Federal Reserve, to succeed Jerome Powell. We'll tell you who he is.
Myös tässä podcastissa, voisiko genetit olla tärkeäksi elämään pitkän ja terveen elämän? Uudet tutkimukset suosittelevat, että genetit voisivat olla paremmin tärkeämpiä kuin aiemmin ajattelut. Genetit ja kuinka pitkän elämämme elävät ei ole yllättävän yllättävää, koska tiedämme, että voimakkaus, voimakkaus ja kardiofysiikka toimivat perheissä. Voimakkaus on jotain tärkeää.
Ja Yhdysvallat tulee uusimmin maailmassa, jossa on mahdollisuus kokeilla itsejärjestelmätaksia. Tämän vuoden jälkeen. Minun ensimmäinen huomio on, että ei ole moottoria, ei ole pedaleja, ei ole moottoria, mutta se tuntuu aika normaalia.
At the height of the Iranian protests this year, President Trump promised help was on its way, only to backtrack as thousands of demonstrators were slaughtered by the regime's security forces. Now the US president is again threatening to strike Iran after sending what he calls a huge US armada to the Middle East, while at the same time signaling that he is open to negotiations.
Meillä on paljon erittäin isoja, erittäin vahvoja sivuja Iraniin nyt. Ja se olisi hienoa, jos emme tarvinneet käyttää niitä. Voitko sanoa, mitä viesti oli, jota sinä kertoisit Iranin kanssa? No, minä kertoisin hänelle kaksi asiaa. Ensimmäinen, ei ole nukleeria. Ja toinen, pysy vähentämään protesteja. He vähentävät niitä tuhansia.
Iran, which was weakened by earlier US and Israeli attacks, is now intensifying its diplomatic efforts. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Aragchi has been holding talks in Turkey, where President Erdogan has offered to mediate between Tehran and Washington. Mr. Aragchi told journalists that Iran was ready to speak to the US about its nuclear program, but only on equal terms, and that currently no such talks had been set up.
In relation to a possible meeting or talk with American officials, we do not have any plan or program, but what we want to see is we are ready for a just... I got more from BBC Persian's Sarah Namjoo.

Chapter 2: What is Iran's stance on talks with the US?
President Trump has nominated an outspoken critic of America's central bank, the Federal Reserve, as its new head. Kevin Walsh will take over from the current chairman, Jerome Powell, in May. Mr. Walsh was one of the Fed's governors during the financial crisis of 2008. He's also a son-in-law of the billionaire Trump donor and supporter, Ronald Lauder.
Mr. Powell has faced months of insults from Mr. Trump, who's accused him of failing to cut interest rates fast enough. He's facing a criminal investigation over renovations to Fed buildings, which he says is politically motivated. James Menendez spoke to Aaron Klein, who worked with Kevin Walsh, and he began by asking him if he thought Mr. Walsh was a good choice.
I think it's a choice that any Republican president could have made. It's a very inside the box standard choice. Somebody who has experience at the central bank, who's been a leading academic, who's voiced a lot of what would be considered historically conservative viewpoints. So I think it's a very fine and reasonable choice. In the world of Trump, things that make sense are wins.
As chair though, is he likely to be more receptive, more pliable to President Trump's demands to cut interest rates? Well that's going to be the big question because through most of his career he's been relatively hawkish and wanted higher interest rates.
You know how somebody is going to do once they get the job is the big open question of all of the finalists. Warsh was among the people that I think would be less pliable and more committed to the Federal Reserve's long term goals. But it's hard to know until you actually have the.
pressure in the spotlight of the Federal Reserve. Look, Jay Powell at one point convinced Trump that he would go along and get along. And that clearly backfired from Trump's point of view and was a massive success for those of us who believe in an independent central bank.
How close is Kevin Walsh to President Trump? And I'm thinking about his father-in-law here. So his father-in-law is very close. His father-in-law, Ron Lauder, has known Trump for an extremely long time. They go back a very long way in the New York world. Kevin himself was from New York, but was from more upstate. So they have a long family relationship.
and a very close one between his father-in-law and the president. There aren't so many people that have known Trump longer than Lauder.
Does Kevin Walsh believe in the Fed's independence from the government, do you think? Let me be clear, the Fed needs to be independent from the president of the United States. I think too many people at the Federal Reserve believe it's independent from the government, which would be a mistake. The Federal Reserve needs to do a better job of respecting the law. They can do that while also resisting political pressure to set interest rates. In his heart, he absolutely believes...
