A meeting if its National Security council after the death of at least 89. 00 soldiers in a raid on their base. Libyas u. N. Recognize government and the warlords have to agree to calls from both russia and turkey for a ceasefire. Maryanne demasi in london with the top stories from europe including. Incoming Prime Minister by his party to move beyond the scandal that his predecessor. Died after a crash during some stage of the race in saudi arabia. We begin in iran where the government is dealing with the growing fallout over its initial failure to admit responsibility for the downing of for ukrainian airliner on wednesday hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the u. K. Embassy in tehran calling for the embassy to be closed while Irans Foreign Ministry has summoned the British Ambassador accusing him of attending protest against the governments initial response shes denied that protests have been held across the country after the revolutionary guard said it mistaken. They shot down the jet killing 176 people and the Iranian Parliament has denied a cover up but told the military to take precautions to avoid further disasters or the recent crisis with the u. S. Was prompted by the assassination of the iranian commander Qassam Soleimani in iraq and qatar is a mere isnt iran in a purse to ease those tensions is the 1st foreign leader to visit the iranian capital since her name and he was killed in a u. S. Attack on january 3rd. If you walk her so this visit comes as a very critical time in the region weve agreed that the only solution is to defuse escalations among all parties and weve also agreed that dialogue and only dialogue is the only route to any solution to any crisis lets talk about this with sources of ours joining us from tehran so what was the takeaway message the cattery emir and iranian leaders were carrying. Well it appears that they could tarries are interested in strengthening the ties between the 2 sides as are the rain ians there president Hassan Rouhani said that this was an important visit the qatari mirs 1st since he came into that position in 2013 hes also been meeting with irans highest authority hominy the Supreme Leader short while ago here in the capital and during that meeting the Supreme Leader said that the Current Situation in the region is turbulent and unacceptable and that is due to the presence of u. S. Forces in this area he said that the only way to combat that is strengthen ties between regional countries is of course hinting at the fact that the qataris host one of the biggest basis of u. S. Troops in this region and the iranians are adamant since this sasa nation of awesome so the money that the United States has to leave this region completely so this visit is being seen as an important step in qatars role in trying to deescalate tensions between iran and the United States something that they are very keen on of course being that theyre so close geographically to iran and the iranians have said that they are adamant they want the troops the u. S. Troops to leave this region we also know that the qatari emir has extended it mutation to president Hassan Rouhani to visit qatar at his earliest convenience all this in an effort to increase not only diplomatic and political ties but there are both sides are also keen on increasing their economic relationship their protests taking place in parts of the country and particularly right in front of the u. K. Embassy. That was as a result of a series of events that unfolded after the Iranian Revolutionary guards and minute that they had mistakenly shot down a passenger plane shortly after launching a series of missile attacks on u. S. Base in iraq on wednesday morning the people are in iran are very angry because the reigning officials deny that this has happened disclose the cause of the crash they denied it for over 48 hours and since then theyve admitted that it was an error that caused the crash. As a result of a missile strike so they were holding a vigil outside university were 6 of the victims from the plane crash attended it was a vigil that took place on saturday evening and the British Ambassador was there apparently and thats where he was arrested briefly and released but the issue that arose from that is that the iranians a number of iranians that gathered outside a British Embassy today say that the pastor had no right to come out at this illegal gathering and they are demanding that he be expelled and the British Embassy be shut down were also hearing that a number of other protests are ongoing at the moment in various points of the city people are trying to gather to express their discontent at the authorities for having the delay in telling the public what actually happened but there is a heavy security presence across the city that is preventing people from gathering so there is a very tense situation not only politically for this country but also domestically at the moment as well ok or so thank you for that update from to her on. Well france germany and the United Kingdom are urging iran to return to full compliance with the 2050 nuclear deal in a joint declaration they said they remain committed to the deal but are calling on iran to refrain from further violence or proliferation they do clear a deal called the joint comprehensive plan faction was signed by iran and 6 nations in july 2015 the deal lifted sanctions in exchange for monitoring of to her Nuclear Activities but President Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement and his 2nd year in office he called it a bad deal for america and reimpose sanctions other nations tried to keep the pact alive but following another wave of tough u. S. Sanctions in may last year iran began rolling back its compliance 1st and increased its stockpile of enrich uranium then after the u. S. Assassination of Qassam Soleimani to her scrapped all limits on its Nuclear Program that speak to Robert Hunter hes a former u. S. Ambassador to nato hes joining us from d. C. To discuss this ambassador good to have you with us on aljazeera so clearly European Countries are fighting to save this deal and urging irans full compliance is it still salvageable off the recent events. Well that were going to have to say it is certainly continues to be critically important for security in the region and in fact i suspect the message from the 3 big western powers while directed at terror and is indirectly directed at mr trump he was the one who started this cycle of problems by withdrawing from the agreement. Well almost 2 years ago i suspect because he was jealous of the fact that. His predecessor president obama had negotiated it but this is the europeans saying anough is enough we almost had a war. Over iran in the middle east which would have affected the europeans far more than americans and i think theyre trying to tell mr trump come on get back on the same page as the rest of the world or a but do they actually have any leverage over trump in the United States when it comes to iran and their nuclear deal weve seen trump go full on with his maximum pressure count pain well we now have the president in the states 2 days ago called upon nato to become more and actively involved in security in the region he would gave it a new name nato ammi nato me and called on the europeans to get involved and theyre saying in effect mr president if you want our help for security you 1st youve got to stop your role in causing problems and that begins with getting back into the c. P. O. A they didnt want to have an actual split with the americans so they were directing their comments towards to iran but theres no question they were trying to tell mr trump you want our help you got to stop making problems yeah and let me ask you this particularly on nato since you were a former u. S. Ambassador to nato. Is there much appetites on behalf of the organization for trumps middle east proposal. Short answer is no variation of that is there is an understanding that europe would be most deeply affected not only by whats happening now with the confrontation with iran and whats happening in syria and iraq but also if things got worse they would really really troubles now i think a lot of European Countries would be prepared to get involved in mediation because our. Leaders are are now doing from the arab side i think theyd be willing to perhaps some or an advisory troops in syria i think theyd be perhaps willing to try to help with other stabilization measures but to do what trouble is called for absolutely not and i think theyve already made that clear rights ambassador Robert Hunter we thank you very much for joining us on aljazeera. At least 8 rockets have hit an Iraqi Military base that houses u. S. And Coalition Forces the rockets reportedly fell on the runway of Balad Air Base thats north of baghdad joining us from baghdad they tell us what more youve been learning about this assignment. At least 4 iraqi soldiers including 2 officers have been wounded in this attack on but their race in the in province just north of baghdad this is a very significant installation because its not just houses coalition and iraqi troops were also home to iraqs f. 16 contingent and of significant significant important to Iraqi Air Force as well this is the 2nd time this particular base has come under attack since the assassination of money and hundreds there have been about 6 attacks so far rocket attacks from various directions in baghdad and across bases which housed Coalition Forces it goes to sure the kind of risk and Security Fears that Security Forces in iraq and Coalition Forces are facing after these attacks old though there has to be the Popular Mobilisation forces group which is loosely linked to the Iraqi Ministry of defense has said that it is not involved in any of these rocket attacks but many other groups which are ideologically or militarily aligned with iran have said that the Iranian Missile attack was just the beginning of their revenge against the killing of course some silly money and only and once u. S. Troops leave this area something that the United States has said it is not willing to do and has been repeatedly asked by the Iraqi Government including the iraqi Prime Minister the president and the speaker of the house as well when they condemn these attacks which happened in iraq the soil so again this is the latest as weve heard from various security sources 8 rockets landing on a base on the runway 4 iraqi soldiers being wounded 2 of them offices all right. Thank you. Tunisia where a government source has told aljazeera of the death toll from thursdays attack on an army base has risen to at least 89. 00 no one has claimed responsibility.

C. 9 body bags soldiers from me killed in an attack at an army base in china go draw close to the border with mali no one has yet claimed responsibility but a number of groups are active here and violence across west africas so whole region has been increasing last month 71 soldiers were killed in an attack meanwhile she is border with mali and became a fast so some believe the conflict in libya is worsening problems across the region after the collapse of the libyan state.

Cup peter has the action in sports. But 1st in 2 countries ravaged by war 2 separate cease fire agreements are now in effect warring sides in syria and libya have agreed to put down their arms after negotiations brokered by russia and turkey which you countries support opposing sides in each conflict will have more on syria in a moment but 1st libya where warlords funny for half that had initially rejected calls for a ceasefire. Is in tripoli and he says theres theyre ready been some reports of violations. Its now quiet in the front lines as were getting reports from military commanders on the ground its now quiet compared to last night but despite that the government has it imported that it has dick documented violations by half to us forces overnight and this morning and also overnight only a few minutes after the spokesman of have to announce said that they are putting the cease fire in place also we spoke earlier today to civilians eyewitnesses locals in ains our neighborhood they said that have to the forces also opened fire randomly in the area this morning but the government is written rating that its not going to stay silent in front of any violations by have to force as a member of stand the government has been repeating that have to as forces pulling out of southern tripoli is a prerequisite for the government for the government to proceed in any settlement to this conflict or there are also been some reports of some skirmishes in syria as in lead province where another a cease fire agreement is in place and its hoped the pozen fading will allow desperately needed aid into the region as damasio reports from the turkish capital ankara. The side from the fact of people fearing to be essentially bombed out of the skies by the regime of Bashar Al Assad than even by russian warplanes there is a dire humanitarian situation which is a consequence of 78 years of war that continues to plague all this is innocent civilians of syria in terms of how likely it is to hold this is the umpteenth time that some sort of ceasefire agreement has been reached and what is different maybe from with regards to syria is of libya is that there is no where near in these form of equilibrium between the military powers you have armed rebel groups that are now or only in control of this. Province the the the region of it live and you have on the other side of the syrian army you have iranian backed militia you have the Russian Military which are essentially used all of their might and fire power to corner those rebel groups or whats left of them in this small area and essentially has been pounding them for months if not for the past the best part of. Years now whats interesting very quickly is that in the past 24 hours the russians have set up checkpoints on the entrances and exits of it live they say to allow for citizens or civilians to leave it live the question is why would they do that if there is a ceasefire which people expect to last the skeptics or cynics would say it is an attempt maybe to filter out as many civilians as they can before the fighting resumes once more World Leaders have traveled to meet.

Booth. Top stories on the aljazeera news hour. Dialogue. Called a critical time irans government is facing growing anger over its initial failure to admit responsibility for the downing of airliner on wednesday. At least. 4 iraqi soldiers including 2 officers were injured. And a cease fire has come into effect afterwards. Just hours before the starts theres also been a pause in fighting in syria. Russia and turkey brokered both cease fire. Back now to our top story in the protests that are happening in iran well just a short while ago the u. S. President donald trump weighed in and in a tweet he said to the leaders of iran to not kill your Protesters Thousands have already been killed or imprisoned by you and the world is watching more importantly the usa is watching turn your internet back on reporters. Stop the killing off your great iranian people. Joining us from washington d. C. So this was one of the latest tweets but there has been a series of tweets not only in english but in farsi as well what are we to read into all of this. Indeed the president started tweeting late last night calling and expressing his support for demonstrators in iran also as he mentioned tweeting some of them in farsi this is symptomatic of what appears to be an Administration Position to bring that pressure maximum pressure to bear on iran in the forms of external pressures such as sanctions both economic and individual while at the same time seeking internal division internal resistance so in the view of the trumpet ministration iran government facing pressure both from without and within the tenor of all the trumpet ministration spokespeople statements in the course of today has been precisely this that iran is facing pressure from within and without and finding it very difficult to withstand such pressure and we understand the defense secretary has been speaking to the sunday talk shows what has he been saying what marcus. On a number of the shows basically backing the administrations position that there was an imminent threat that led to the assassination of a Senior Iranian general a few days ago arguing too that this was absolutely necessary to carry out but at the same time not giving any real details about what the imminent threat was this is replying to questions in congress to be more specific about what the threat is the secretary of defense also said that he couldnt specifically say that for embassies had been threatened and were part of an imminent threat this is something that has been said by president trum nonetheless the secretary of defense says that there was the imminent threat and embassies would have been the likely target but despite all of this he insists that President Trump is still open to negotiation. Well it is still the legitimate government if you will of iran and what weve said ive said publicly the president certainly has said is we will meet with them were going to sit down discuss without precondition a new way forward a a series of steps by which iran becomes a more normal country one must mention that the iranian government has made absolutely clear that they can be no the negotiation no discussion of any kind until the u. S. Live society actions that its imposed in recent months the u. S. From lifting these sanctions showing every sign of wanting to intensify them ok my kind of thank you meanwhile a vigil is being held in toronto for the Many Canadian victims of the downing of the ukrainian aircraft in iran daniel black is joining us from the university of toronto daniel where that vigil is being held tell us what youre seeing. Well there in its even more than a vigil its its a commemoration ceremony to those who lost their lives its a gathering of the Iranian Community and many others besides the University Community well get a few more details from one of the organizers of that the c. E. O. Of teargas and the organization that to organize that this is harry ana judd listen to this crowd must be something people must take something something some support something positive at a terrible time absolutely be have to deal with our grief and we have to mourn and this is the way that we mourn. So we are doing this because we would like to pay respect to all the lost lives lost at the same time to would like to sympathize with the victims families and also we would like to tell the stories of those people who perished they were not just names on papers so you want to tell the stories of those people it must have been difficult and emotional for you and your staff because you lost people as well absolutely that has been very difficult living in a state of shock and even you know we couldnt believe that this happened we thought it was not true and you know we would do would like to get something out of it something positive for the future we dont want to let their lives be taken in vain so we would like to do something and use this energy and harness it in a way to to to make it in the future and the canadian government has been calling for a thorough investigation accountability justice even compensation for the victims is this something youre going to zation is behind as well absolutely absolutely. Like v. Are supporting our Prime Minister and our government needs i think on the right that they are on the right track and did demand we should demand justice we should demand the truth so we should know the truth we should know what happened to these people. What next for the Iranian Canadian Community coming out of this how do you move on how do you move forward how do you get any closure or healing i think its very difficult to come to terms with this its i think that the history of the Iranian Canadian Community is going to be divided into different times before the crash and after the crash and this is going to impact our community so d but i hope as i said i hope that we can channel all the energy for making it to their future and making it better world met thank you very much for taking the time today and good luck with that thats made our area on a judge of the organization tear gun here in toronto in arabian canadian Cultural Organization back to you in doha all rights and then a lack thank you very much.

I am thank you well see you then well taiwans president has her reelection is a sign that the soft governing islands wont bow to intimidation from china prone dependence incumbent sighing when won with 57 percent of the vote scott hyla reports from taipei. The day after taiwans historic election reelecting Pro Independence president signed when the people of this island of 24000000 enjoyed their winter sunday. I hope that both thailand and china well china should stop its military threats toward taiwan i believe she is the right leader to deal with china. I do not think she would try to be confrontational after last night we voted to still remain part of a big family but then we differ in political opinions we share the same thing belief in Democratic Values with the overwhelming victory for sign one and the d. P. P. Some feel that there is added pressure for progress and recognition from china and beyond on the security of the islands independence. In saturdays elections i garnered the most votes of any president ial candidate in the young democracy here promising to keep her hardline stance for independence with growing pressure from china beijing issued a statement shortly after so i gave her victory speech as if the landslide election never happened president xi jinping is administration continued with its threats of reunification and its opposition to any separatist attempts. But her challenges wont only be on improving cross street relations i was economy has been a Major Political issue here even if there has been a recent boost thanks to the u. S. China trade war she is under tremendous pressure much higher than her 1st time. To perform better on the economy. She was really defeated in the local election about 15 months ago because of the Economic Situation that didnt go away. So amid the saber rattling from china and calls for economic reform sighs next 4 years start off with major challenges but she goes into her 2nd term with the confidence of the majority of taiwanese people at least for now its got to either aljazeera type. Protesters in hong kong watch taiwans election very closely sarah clarke has their reaction thousands have gathered here in the square which is in Central Hong Kong and this is part of the democracy in the Antigovernment Movement if its to ramp up the protests in the lead up to Chinese New Year which is the biggest traditional festival in hong kong and thats at the end of january now reaction here for the prodemocracy groups to taiwans election result has certainly been a positive one a prodemocracy groups and political activists travel to taiwan to monitor and observe this but and theyve been overwhelmed by the result of course hong kong protests played a key role in this election in taiwan the unrest in hong kong fuelled resistance to beijing and harden public sentiment and as i mentioned the reaction from these part of oxy demonstrators here has been positive i think people feel. Happy for how people feel good about that because. The lives of those. People living there with this need to be able to keep everyone in the top one has also provided key support for these prodemocracy demonstrators by providing supplies unlike safety gear including vests and helmets and when china cut off those supplies coming into hong kong the prodemocracy groups we seeking to bolster exchanges and galvanize the alliance with taiwan against chinas increasing influence and tightening their grip on the city this is a big rally today with thousands attending but next sometimes prodemocracy groups will be holding another munch in support of the Antigovernment Movement. Thailand has seen its biggest political protest in years in the form of what activists are calling a run against dictatorship there harding has won the group wanting the Prime Minister to step down.
