S. And canadian leaders are now calling for a full investigation. Wreckage from the Ukrainian International Airlines Flight that crashed shortly after takeoff from tehran leaving the world with lots of questions and few wants as. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the 1st to publicly announce a possible cause an Iranian Missile. We have intelligence from multiple sources including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by in a rainy and surface to air missile. This may well have been unintentional. This new information reinforces the need for a thorough investigation into this matter u. S. Officials have told us media they have quote a high degree of certainty that it was a missile that hit the plane early u. S. President donald trump had suggested it might have been unintentional i have my suspicions it was very i dont want to say that because other people have those suspicions also. Its a tragic thing when i see that its a tragic thing. But somebody could have made a mistake on the other couldve couldve made a mistake ukrainian officials have also said that they were quote not ruling out a missile attack having sent a team to tehran to investigate. And at the u. N. Ukraine iran fully cooperate. The circumstances these guys are still unclear it is not up to the actors. And to find answers to the questions of what caused the crash to do so all actors must receive on conditional support for their investigation into the kings incident. Soon after the crash iran had said it wouldnt cross black boxes over to the american manufacturer is boeing but on wednesday iran did say it would give the ukrainian investigators access. Lets get more now from gadget brown hes a correspondent inaudible get honest and he was handed Justin Trudeau this press conference we heard him saying that there is intelligence now indicating that iran in fact shot down a ukrainian plane by mistake what more can you tell us. So this was really a very very remarkable press conference by the by the Prime Minister yesterday was very careful to not to speculate about the reasons whats behind this tragic event and today he called in this press conference on show up in short notice and then he said this is what we heard right now that canada has intelligence that the plane was shot down by an uranium surface to air missiles but its very important is that he. Emphasizes that this is in from through information by the allies but also our own intelligence so its also canadian intelligence that hes referring to when this is very important to judge the whole situation because there are some doubts from where this information coming but with with this refer to the canadian. Information it seems to be this strong that the Prime Minister now decided to go to public and to tell the canadian people what he knows and what he hears happened last night in tehran. More than 170 people died in this crash including at least 63 canadians how is this latest development now being received in canada so when news broke yesterday morning that 63 canadians have died and there were more people citizens from iran who were where on the map their way to canada to visit people it was clear that that this incident this catastrophe is really a canadian tragedy as well so its not something that happened far far away by did hit the ground everywhere in canada or from coast to coast universities as communities for example at month 30 people from died in this crash so now to get this information that this must might not be just a technical disaster but an error and that Rocket Missile have brought this airplane down is really absolutely shocking for the canadian public and for the families who are grieving and looking for answers why did this happen. Well the families are looking for answers investigators also looking for answers canadian investigators have not been granted access there in iran its unclear boeing will get access to those black boxes that have been recovered how likely do you think it is to build get credible and a thorough investigation that Prime Minister trudeau wants this is one of the very very important and open questions because to do it several times he repeated credible thorough Investigation International experts have to get access to the to the to the side and the Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister had been in contact with his iranian counterpart this morning and clearly indicated that can other wants to have access the problem with the canadian hearing in relation is that they have no diplomatic relation the former Government Cut diplomatic bonds with the iranians 2012. Now we are asking why did Justin Trudeau when he came to power 4 years ago and not resort. To relationships that would have made it easier but canadians tried to get through ukraine access to the black boxes. Seach they search for the help by for example get to leave who represents canada here and and other International Allies so they still hope that they get access but they dont have a lot to put pressure on here im ok brown us giving us the latest there from ottawa thank you very much thank you.
