Crisis but in the burnt out bush they are bracing for yet more inferno. Class gestures like these will not be allowed at the 2020 Olympic Games in tokyo we have details of the i. O. C. Has new rules on to political protests. Im sorry so much ground its good to have you with us iran is denying western allegations that one of its own missiles down to ukrainian jetliner that crashed outside tehran canadas Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the evidence from multiple intelligence sources suggests that in a rainy and surface to air missile hit the airliner shortly after takeoff all 176 people on board most of them iranian and canadian were killed in the crash it came just hours after iran launched an attack against u. S. Targets in neighboring iraq. Mobile phone footage verified by 2 Media Outlets appears to show the missile exploding near the plane before it crashed. Western leaders say the evidence points towards an Iranian Missile scores of canadian nationals were killed in the crash Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended a vigil in the capital otto earlier he announced what he believes brought down the plane. We have intelligence from multiple sources including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by entering into the surface to air missiles. 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 a quote high degree of certainty that it was a missile that hit the plane President Donald Trump echoed the theory that it might have been an accident. Iran vehemently denies the theory that the plane was downed by an Iranian Missile. Its now that the thing that is clear to us and that we can say with certainty is that this plane was not hit by a missile. As i said last night the plane was on fire for more than one and a whole minutes on the end. Of the russian a flight shows that the pilot was attempting to return. To guest as that the Ukrainian International Airlines Flight was traveling from tehran to kiev with 176 people on board the boeing 737 crashed in good visibility just minutes after takeoff. Most of the victims were from iran many of them do iranian canadian citizens do to take a connecting flight to canada western leaders are demanding full transparency from tehran the focus is now on the black box flight recorders they could hold the key to revealing the cause of the crash. And we can speak now to julian bray an Aviation Security expert hi julian much has been made of that video clip we saw that allegedly shows the airplane being hit how credible do you think that video is. I think we can say fairly credible because the supply of banning colt sourced it has done an awful lot of work on it so i would say on balance probabilities we should except that what about the focus of the investigation now joey julian it was on to the black box flight recorders that were covered from the crash site do we know if they were in good enough condition to be analyzed properly when i seen the pictures the black flight recorders were delivered to a press conference this morning and there in wooden crates theres some superficial damage on the data stack seems to be apart from the unit itself but i would imagine you should be able to get all the data off but it needs to go to an independent well resourced the bars 3 and holds good just frankly i dont think the ranger with already is has the expertise to decode this properly what about the debris at the crash site if the plane was brought down by a missile would there be signs of explosive material on debris of the plane. Its very difficult because i came down as a foggles so everything was being consumes and that is not something we had looked for normally in these situations you make sure that the area was secure and you then go and you had mapped the area literally measuring everything out taking photographs no see where all the objects before you remove the bodies then the bodies are taken away and then you are left with the day every field and then the experts go through it now what ive seen just about everybody has been allowed to trample over that site and so i dont know if theres any thought or evidence to be had from it. Victims families also governments are calling for immediate answers to what happened here but how long will this investigation take how long will it be until we definitively know what happened well this is the big question isnt it because it really depends now on the black boxes we have told the peripheral intelligence which we can put together but really we want these 2 black boxes decoded now one is a flight data recorder the other one is a voice recorder and the voice recorder will record all the voices on the flight deck the conversation 3 the pilot the copilots. Traffic control and anybody else that comes on to into his area of the aircraft so we get a complete understanding of his mood is whether hes relaxed whether hes tense the type of voice hes using and so on where theres any stress and now the 2nd well is the technical box this recalled every electrical relay every switch that being turned on and off during that period right up to the incident those 2 a time line and then you can marry them all together and you have a complete understanding of what was happening on board that aircraft all right 18 aviation expert julian bray speaking to us thank you. Thank you the u. S. Government has meanwhile unveiled new sanctions on the iranian Steel Industry and senior regime officials secretary of state my comp aoe and treasury secretary steven mention made the announcement saying the sanctions are the result of irans missile attack on u. S. Bases in iraq that attack followed u. S. Assassination of a Senior Iranian general week the rising tensions in the middle east has prompted an emergency meeting of e. U. Foreign ministers in brussels they are hoping to find a way to steer the u. S. And iran away from further confrontation. First the assassination a few runs top general. Then iranian retaliation. In the deepening conflict between iran and the United States the European Union seems caught in the middle the country says deeply affects not only the region but all of us and the use of weapons must stop now to give space to dialogue talks seem to be the only feasible option here in brussels at the moment the european kind of dilemma is that they of course want to put additional pressure on iran but at the same time they dont want to side too openly with the United States thats the dilemma that the europeans are in this is what their politics looks like you know how do you find the magic formula that you know keeps you in that position that you know satisfies both both needs the e. U. Is clinging on to the 2050 nuclear deal signed by e. U. Countries france the u. K. And germany among others. The socalled j c p u a is supposed to prevent iran from developing Nuclear Weapons in return for the lifting of un sanctions. However u. S. President pulled out in 2018 he since re imposed sanctions. Met with anger in tehran which in response has step by step produced its own commitments to the deal further limiting the use ability to weigh in on the issues. Was the only stake the europeans really had in the iran issue thats you know what made them important in the iran context and now thats out of the window plus the situation is escalating and they have no influence now so hope lies in this man Mohammed Sirleaf the Iranian Foreign minister hes been invited to back to brussels in an attempt to bring iranians back to the table and negotiate a way out of the crisis. And lets go to brussels now our correspondent teri schultz is standing by for us there hi terry good to see you the u. S. Says announce new sanctions against iran as President Trump a promise and reiterated its justification for killing a general. Secretary of state state might bump aoe has spoken what more can you tell us. Yes sue me secretary pompei and secretary minutia spoke just moments ago and they announced new sanctions which they describe as targeting the economic and Foreign Policy of iran its not clear yet exactly what to do what measures they are taking but you know iran is under such heavy sanctions already it will be interesting to see what more the u. S. Thinks it can target in order to bring the Iranian Regime to its knees to make it change policy the United States says and of course secretary pompei got many questions about the killing of sulaimani and the rougher questions of that act and he said that in fact the intelligence showed that u. S. Intelligence showed that there were imminent attacks there were attacks that saloon money was was planning on u. S. Embassies on u. S. Interests in the regions and he said to make no mistake that americans would have been killed and he also said Something Interesting it has been pointed out by many of servers that no one was killed in the iranian retaliatory strikes the missile strikes and secretary pompei was said that he believes they were aiming at americans that ron was not taking care to avoid a loss of life on the american side there so a quite bombastic press conference there but the u. S. Definitely is is dialing down yet further on iran and mentioning also that european allies who still hope to help the iranian government through the Iran Nuclear Deal with its economy will also face further pressure from the United States you know terry where does the European Union stand on all of this you know you Foreign Ministers are meeting in an emergency session there in brussels to try to come to a unified response theres been criticism that they have a sense of been a bystander in this story what can the e. U. Do. Yeah thats true even from within the European Union they feel like they are basically a bystander that they dont have a lot of. Pull on this issue and its true in iraq there are some Training Missions and in which european governments take part and they have some on their own but by and large where the e. U. Hopes to still have an influence in the middle east is on iran and on the Iranian Nuclear deal european governments and the European Union still have open communications with tehran and they are hoping that they can still keep the Iranian Nuclear deal which is hanging by just the tiniest of threads that they can somehow bring iran back into compliance now we should be careful to to to make clear that iran did not withdraw from the nuclear deal what it has done is breach every one of the limitations it agreed to but it did say that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Association would be left inside iran which means that one of the tenets of the agreement is still in place so what the European Union is hoping to do is to somehow bring iran back to somehow keep the deal together because that is truly a legacy of the e. U. An e. U. Negotiated deal and most members of the European Union would feel that it kept the world a safer place. Reporting there in brussels but to talk to you now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world the United Nations says a series of killings and rapes in an ethnic conflict in the democratic republic of congo may constitute crimes against humanity human rights investigators say many of the more than 700 People Killed in the province of the last 2 years were from the haymow community which was targeted by the lendu ethnic group. Peruvian president might seem to scatter has pledged to plant 1000000. 00 trees around the ancient site much impeachable to protect the area from forest fires and mudslides it is the latest measure taken in recent months to safeguard the countrys most popular Tourist Destination as well as regional plants and wildlife. The leader of thailands opposition says he has been charged over an antigovernment rally that he staged last month on a ton jungle and bring your kit who founded the progressive future Forward Party has denied the charges saying theyre politically motivated hes accused of a breaching the law on public gatherings by not registering the rally at least 24 hours in advance. Now Indias Supreme Court has ordered a review of all were strict sions on Internet Services in the disputed kashmir region the panel of 3 judges said such curbs were unwarranted and an abuse of power the Indian Government stripped the muslim majority region of its semi autonomous status in august of last year while many other curbs were eased the internet remains suspended in the Kashmir Valley which is home to around 7000000 people. Did the reporter peter who lead doll is covering this story for us hes with us here in studio hi peter tell us more about whats behind this decision well kashmir has been without Internet Access for 160 days i mean just imagine most of it thats almost half a year and most of us cant go without in a 4 day and so this is no longer is internet shut down in history it was implemented back in august as she said. After the orbit around the time of the governments trip john knew in kashmir of their special status as a a signatory of the state. It was part of this massive crackdown by the hindu nationalist government in the muslim majority region came after weeks of clashes between separatists and Government Forces the government at the time claiming that the shut down in these restrictions were an attempt to try to control the unrest to kind of put a lid on it so in addition to cutting off communications they also implemented very strict curfew so they arrested thousands including political leaders. For country the lice to pride itself of being the Worlds Largest democracy this does seem ironic to say the least i mean in addition to. Effectively restricting freedom of speech for millions of kashmir its also cost many of their jobs because the local economy has been shattered because a lot of businesses cant operate without Internet Access so its completely crippled the Customer Community and essentially that is what the Supreme Court recognized in its ruling it said that you know Internet Access to internet is a fundamental right and its one that is protected by the constitution what are the reactions been in kashmir i would imagine they welcome the news that the Supreme Court ruled this decision right its been surprisingly mixed with some absolutely do kind of celebrate this is a big win for freedom of speech others are a lot more skeptical and maybe say with good reason author and journalist what heat noted on twitter while essentially the Supreme Court of india said the longest internet shutdown in the world can be even longer and hes not entirely wrong you know on its face the ruling sounds like a big win for free speech at least you know as ive read it but. There are a lot of graysons. For instance the government has the right to impose further restrictions. To impose further shutdowns. If it deems that to be in the Public Interest and the question then becomes what what does that mean. That really then becomes a matter of interpretation it becomes very much a question of how good your lawyers are right if i were living in kashmir i would not breathe big sigh really just yet all right peter thank you very much for bringing us that story.
