Hello im terry Martin Thanks for joining us. Says appears to be standing down in its confrontation with the United States while he himself has not threatened further military action the president was speaking after rand launched a missile attack on u. S. Military installations in iraq but caused no casualties. A crucial and highly anticipated moment. No americans were harmed in last nights attack by the iranian regime. We suffered ok. All of our soldiers are safe and orderly minimal damage was sustained at military bases donald trump confirming no troops were injured or killed in irans missile attack meant there was no need to escalate tensions between the 2 countries. Its all about the Iranian State television had earlier claimed missiles fired by irans forces had killed 80 u. S. Soldiers at the Ein Al Assad Air base in iraq because. The attack was an act of revenge for the killing of top military commander general kasim any the move has been widely welcomed across iran. Crowds chanting death to america as irans Supreme Leader ayatollah ali how many tell them their message has been delivered my god. A slight force delivered last night but what is important is that the seditious presence of america. In the region should be and it. Was the countrys foreign minister also spoke out. Said very clearly that if the United States takes any further action respond accordingly and we will respond in a very harsh way but proportionately united stunnel trump and did promise further action but in form of economic sanctions military confrontation it appears has been averted for now. Well the very latest from iran lets cross over to journalist raise a cost a who is standing by for us in tehran whats the reaction in tehran to donald trump statement on iran. So far we havent had any reaction to any of the rich reaction to Donald Trumps our comments but there have been comments made by g. C. And military officials since this morning the Deputy Commander of the i. R. G. C. Today again bragged about the significance of the military attacks the missile attacks on the u. S.

Military could not intercept even one you reunion missile the exact words he used was the americans could not do being against the reunion missile strikes this shows that the focus of iranian officials is changing from are the number of casualties which the u. S. And you know are the gnarls to the significance of the attack itself as the ring of defense minister yes of this is that this was the 1st attack on a you was since the war 2 so are you one is now highlighting.

Just remind our viewers a sense for the Iran Revolutionary guard corps which is the elite military korean iran. Now the u. S. Says it will impose even more sanctions on iran how big of a worry is that for iranians. Well its not that much big in my ear because of the sanctions that are already imposed on the contrary theres no more room for other sanctions maybe just some people so individuals will be added to the u. S. List of sanctions so no more pain is going to be imposed on the ring in a nation which is already who is already suffering from the impacts of the sanctions trump wants all signatories to abandon the 2015 Nuclear Agreement with iran he wants to make a a different deal is a ram open to that to renegotiating a deal or is it now determined to ramp up its Nuclear Program without restrictions. Will iran wants sign the multilateral deal with the United States is a while that there are commitments not make up to their obligations and. Has clearly stated that it is not going to renegotiate what it has are wants to sit on the table to sign so it is not possible i believe to sit with the u. S. The Current Us Administration at least sign a new. Government has repeatedly stated that the. Mosque implements the and the us must return to its commitments and that has been no the other parties as well and now following the recent escalation iran to the steps of reducing its commitments and is moving towards our leaving the euro that the ball is now in other parties or reza thank you very much that was journalist raiser cust a there in tehran. Now what caused a ukrainian passenger plane to crash in iran just minutes after takeoff all of those on board were killed more than 170 people in all the Ukraine International airlines jet was on its way from tehran to kiev the aircraft went down shortly after iran fired missiles at u. S. Bases in neighboring iraq as weve been talking about now ukraines president vladimir selenski says his country will send a team of investigators to iraq. The morning after wreckage and whats left of the personal items of those who were on board. The Ukraine InternationalAirlines Flight from tehran to kiev was carrying over 170 passengers and ukrainian crew the majority were iranian with many canadians and some swedes on board. Many were rainy and students were rainy and canadians returning via kiev having spent the winter break with their families. Around the world expressions of grief like here at Key International airport but also an international scramble to find answers. To the last inspection took place on the 6th of january there were no comments from the inspector as the aircraft was functional there were also no comments from the crew upon arrival. Since the crash coincided with the red launching missiles at u. S. Bases in iraq some experts say the plane may have been shot down canadas Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau said his country would join any probe our government will continue to work closely with its partners to ensure that this crash is thoroughly investigated canadians have questions. They deserve answers. Say categorically one way or another that the plane was not shot down. I cannot it is too early to speculate i would encourage people not to want to speculate u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o has said he wants the u. S. To be involved in the probe but the iranians say they wont hand over the black box to boeing initially iranian and ukrainian officials both blamed mechanical problems but the ukrainians later backpedaled declining to offer a cause while the investigation is going on.

Howie and meghan on their wedding day it was thought to be the start of a new chapter for the British Royal family but it was not meant to read like this in an Instagram Post the couple explained they would stay back a senior royals and were deemed to become financially independent it seems the cult even the queen off our guard shes reported to be heart one commentator said it was beyond belief. The way the supreme have and the fact that a statement was put out apparently without either the queen or other senior members of the royal family knowing about it is simply almost beyond belief in a terror statement the Royal Household said these were quote complicated issues that would require time to work through ever since they revealed their relationship to the world harry and megan never looked all too comfortable with the rule when their son archie was born the kept the details under wrap much to the era titian of britains for top lawyer price after the african last summer their rest with the media widened when they said they were suing a newspaper over invasion of privacy and in december they said they would break from tradition to spend the Christmas Holidays not with the queen but in canada.

Friends is expecting thousands of people to hit the streets in another day of strikes and protests against president all the calls proposed pension reform because push to change the Pension System has unleashed one of the longest strike actions in france in decades its caused weeks of travel chaos. For more than a month no french workers have taken to the streets they are worried they will have to work longer for and contribute more to their pensions. The reform is one of the manual homes key electoral promises a single points based Pension System for all replacing the 42 separate pension schemes that offer early retirement and other advantages mainly to Public Sector workers. Faced with popular anger the government consulted Union Representatives earlier this week but wants to get the proposed reform through parliament as soon as possible meanwhile unions insist that the planned increase in pensionable age be taken off the table. What are the pension age measures must be withdrawn its what our actions will be about in the coming days and weeks. As the standoff between unions and government continues strikes go on dividing public opinion. Sick she says its horrible im tired af come back from holidays and poor things have improved. But no i think its even wes. I hope things return to normal soon with this because i think its getting on everyones now young and old its quite annoying. Obviously. It annoys me but its fine its for the common good. But i think its worth it because from what i understand were going to work a lot longer a lot less. Concessions have been made to some in the Public Sector with those born before 1075 exempt from the new system but others especially the Younger Generation are determined to strike until they get what they see as a fair pension deal.
