Hello welcome to the program our top story today protesters in irans capital are continuing their demonstrations in anger at the governments admission that the military shot down a ukrainian passenger jet hundreds have also gathered outside the u. K. s embassy in tehran after the British Ambassador was briefly detained for attending an antigovernment protest on saturday theyve been chanting death to england and calling for the embassy to be shut down but protests have also been taking place across the country against the governments initial denial of the downing of that passenger jet calling the claim psychological warfare the plane which was bound for the ukrainian capital kiev was shot down by a missile on wednesday killing all. 176 passengers and crew tensions in the region are incredibly high after the assassination of iranian commander in iraq by the United States catalyze emir is in teheran in a push to ease those tensions he is the 1st leader to visit the iranian capital since alimony was killed on january 3rd. Rock has so this visit comes at a very critical time in the region weve agreed that the only solution is to defuse skill ations among all posses and weve also agreed that dialogue and only dialogue is the only route to any solution to any crisis. Well daniel lak is in toronto where a memorial has been held for the Crash Victims weve got mike hanna standing by with International Reaction washington 1st though to dorset bari in toronto and those who are just hearing a clip from the country emir there with his message of diplomacy in iran tell us more about what he was seeking to accomplish on this visit. Well. Many people here believe he chose this specific time to come because its very very critical what comes next not only for the iranians but also for the neighbors in this region what happens in iran is has ramifications across across the middle east and the qatari mir was very keen on stressing the importance of the relationship between iran and qatar and he also met just a short while ago with the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Khomeini where the Supreme Leader explained his position that is that the turbulence in the inappropriate nature of what we see happening right now in this region is as a result of the u. S. Presence in the middle east something he was hinting at for the qatari mirror to take note since the United States has a large presence military presence in qatar this is something he was saying that the only way to get rid of this presence of the United States is to strengthen ties between iran and its neighbors in this region we also heard from iranian president Hassan Rouhani earlier where he stressed that there was going to be a joint Commission Formed between iran and qatar to strengthen economic ties this is the main goal apparently for iran and the moments not only to get closer diplomatic ties with qatar but also to strengthen the economic ties between the 2 countries the qatari mir also invited some rouhani to visit qatar at his earliest convenience but this is been seen as a real effort by qatar to try and mediate and try to deescalate tensions between iran and the United States that just continue to increase different protests taking place meanwhile inside the country with pro government protesters out on the streets outside the u. K. Embassy but then you also have continuing anger at the governments shooting down of that passenger jet how is it wrong dealing with this domestically and diplomatically. Well there is a lot of criticism at the moment for president Hassan Rouhani he has not made a public announcement or Public Statement about the plane crash that was the plane that was shot down by the revolutionary guards hes only issued a written statement something thats drawing a lot of criticism theres also criticism of the British Ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Ministry because he attended a Vigil Service outside a university in tehran on saturday and as a result of that we saw a number of people gathering outside the British Embassy demanding that he be expelled and the British Embassy shut down completely so theres a lot of moving parts in different elements were also hearing of a number of people who are trying to gather various points across the capital this evening but because of the heavy security presence they havent been able to gather this is to express their at discontent at the way the government has handled the announcement of the confession that they were actually responsible the issue of the remains have at the moment is mainly with the fact that the government lied to them for over 48 hours they say this that they were not forthcoming with the information from the beginning that they said there was absolutely no way that a missile had hit this passenger plane that it was absolutely impossible and then on saturday we heard it stunning confession from the head of the Aerospace Division of the revolutionary guards who said that it was in fact human error that shot a missile at this plane and brought it down killing over 170 people on board so this is where things are at the moment i think a lot of people are waiting to find out how things unfold in the next 24 to 48 hours its very very tense not only diplomatically but also the situation inside the country as well thanks very much with the latest from to handle such a bari well u. S. President all trump has warned iran against attacking the protesters as get more on this from mike hanna who is live for us in washington and weve President Trump over the past at what 2448 hours trying to express his solidarity with the demonstrators in iran. Indeed yes President Trump started late last night expressing his solidarity with those demonstrators warning the iranian government against taking any kind of action against them urging the iranian government as well to allow reporters to roam free as he put it so certainly President Trump ramming home this administrations belief that iran must be subject to pressure both from within and without in terms of economic pressure sanctions as well as individual sanctions President Trumps been tweeting this there were a few tweets of his translated into farsi the most recent in the course of the morning without the capitals President Trump has been using translated into farsi as well but clearly this is part of an administration weve heard throughout the morning on the morning talk shows all members of the trumpet ministration arguing very strongly that iran is under pressure internal external and that is the way to resolve this crisis through maximum epic asian off this pressure and you also have what i suppose the party diplomacy becoming narrow narrow or in light of additional u. S. Sanctions but also iran ramping up its Nuclear Program one of the europeans had to say about this. Well the europeans have released a statement along with other signatories to the joint comprehensive plan of action which was the essentially the iranian nick nuclear deal in terms of which it committed to reducing its Nuclear Ambitions and that has been released in the course of the day recommitting themselves to that particular deal and urging iran to comply with the provisions of that deal now one must remember too that President Trump pulled the u. S. Out of that deal back 2 years ago nearly and this in a way was the beginning of his marked campaign against iran starting with the withdrawal from that deal a unilateral withdrawal which was against the terms of the deal itself in the wake of that as iran began to be frustrated not meeting some of its obligations in terms of the deal the ram type sanctions as punishment so President Trump has been using both the absence of the deal and his withdrawal from it and irans reaction to add extra pressure against iran for contravening a deal of which hes no longer a part is just part of a multilateral Trump Administration action in terms of keeping pressure on iran in any form this of course to the greater anger of the European Partners and other signatories to that Iranian Nuclear deal thank you very much from washington mike hanna and there is daniel lak is live now from the canadian city of toronto where a memorial for the plane Crash Victims has been taking place what was the town out like at this or what people say about how they feel after what has happened. Quite an overwhelming turnout in a hall that could hold just under 2000 people they were up to capacity almost as the ceremony began an hour or 2 ago and outside was the line snaking a 100 meters or more around the building as people waited to get in they set up an overflow area where people could watch the proceedings on a Live Television feed and that had several 100 people in it was very very emotional thats the best word for it they read out the names of the canadian victims from across the country of this tragedy in tehran one year old child 9 year old 3 year old there was hardly a dry eye thats a cliche but its true there was hardly a dry eye in the place they had some very emotional music to accompany the rolling of the names and of course speeches from politicians which were suitably somber but also looking forward to emphasize to the community they may be a rainy and canadian everybodys canadian at a tragedy at a time like this. Any political statements made i know this wasnt a purpose all the vigil people are still coping with what has happened but that we care about anything like that. Well we did i mean we certainly had the deputy Prime Minister here for one thing who emphasized Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau and our governments efforts to press tehran to release more information to allow canadian investigators to join the probe into the crash and that is happening as we speak the 1st have arrived on the ground and before that we also had a speech from the organizers where they said its the regime in tehran that for decades has kept its own people in a state of unawareness in a state of potential potential violence and one of the problems that they have right now is of course the absence of diplomatic ties between canada and iran and its impossible for families to actually get back and forth to send money that sort of thing so there were lots of politics people who maybe different feelings but everyone everyone was united in grief and determination to get more answers and to get possibly justice and compensation for the victims of this tragedy the latest from that a vigil thats been taking place in toronto donna lack thanks daniel. Well want to bring up to date with some developments in iraq now where at least 8 rockets have hit an Iraqi Military base in the Northern City of to create a bombs reportedly fell on the runway of Balad Air Base where at least 4 iraqi soldiers have been injured the base also houses u. S. And Coalition Forces there has been no claim of responsibility some avenge of aid is in baghdad and explains the strategic importance of the Balad Air Base. This is a very significant installation because its not just houses coalition and iraqi troops would also home to iraqs f. 16 contingent and a 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. The hundreds theres been about 6 attacks or 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 show the Popular Mobilization 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 are militarily aligned with iran have said that the Iranian Missile attack was just the beginning of their revenge against the killing of. 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 you saw it.

My 1st question is its been 10 years since the horrific earthquake devastated this country. Billions of dollars were pledged to help haiti. What has been achieved in all this years is yours truly did you very i am the president of the country i can tell you where in the country or in the surrounding of the capital city and a village built with the aid money from the earthquake that can fit a 1000 tommies in terms of results there has not been any reconstruction process for the country i am someone who believes in the structural the long lasting the sustainable there has been many small achievements but small achievements are made with little amount of money but when you want to talk about major achievements you have to have access to large amounts of money he to spend billions to get a lot of people are still in temporary settlements leaving him intense some of them theres a Health Care CrisisFood Insecurity is on the rise tense here later i mean whose fault is it is it the International Community is it the haitian government whos to blame. Both both of them for me to has been the disaster the way the aid money has been managed after the earthquake and that is what were paying for 10 years later im not saying this to blame anyone but im here to say the truth and only the truth the results are visible a lot of money a lot of money has been spent but the results have been minimal which is you i would you one of the issues that has come up is that in many cases the International Community completely bypassed the haitian government Haitian Civil Society and they wanted to spend the money themselves do you agree with this message that you know it has been the reality in 2010 lets be clear that were talking about 2010 now not about the actual period were talking about the time of 22 it was clear it was the reality they stop structure to spend money and now with inherited that everyone must be able to understand that there has been mistakes in alt. Get there we need to correct these mistakes that World Leaders and dignitaries have traveled to amman to meet its new Sultan Haitham been tied to a site it was sworn in on saturday after the death of his cousin the longtime ruler Sultan Qaboos the new leader is promised to follow his predecessors approach and delicately balance among friendly ties with its volatile neighbors say mr ravi has more now from muscat. A seamless transition of power meant oman woke up to a new sultan while still in mourning for their late monarch at the royal palace hate them been thought it received World Leaders there to offer condolences and pay their respects to all mobs new leader its quite rare in the middle east for such a change in power to be so smooth for the new leader to inherit a country so stable and that is a large part of the. His legacy at the grand mosque in omans capital people shared memories often speaking of less as a ruler more like family who want to be a country. Nothing. Like what you see. Used to. Prioritize diplomacy over division religious coexistence inside the country political noninterference outside neutrality as a way of keeping the peace. In. Peace. We hope. The success is meant. To continue. In. Emphasize the. Existence of the people of this great. Club who says rain was a time of change spanning 5 decades but theres been little pomp and circumstance since his death the transition to a new leader in a dynasty that has ruled the country for 14 generations marked by the same quiet dignity that was known for during his lifetime magazine and you were there you were. A less fool for work for omans Foreign Ministry implementing gentle approach to in. National affairs what about the government. He cared about his people and he prioritized having peoples respect and he applied the same principle when dealing with the rest of the world. Its an approach ingrained in ammans institutions and unlikely to change under new leadership so was the quintessential elder statesman a rare voice of reason who throughout his public life held the middle ground in an increasingly polarized middle east and omani seem confident their new sultan is the right choice to keep it that way zain basra the old 00 mosque on now thousands of people in thailand have joined a fun run in the capital but its political change on a medal at the hoping to gain a run against dictatorship is thailands biggest protest is a holiday has more on the group that wants the Prime Minister to step down.
