Want no bounds to preserve taiwans autonomy in the face of growing efforts by china to bring the island under its control. Make spicer thanks for joining us american President Donald Trump says hes closely following protests which took place in iran after the government announced that its forces had accidentally shot down a ukrainian passenger jet trying to manage access for human Rights Groups to monitor the demonstrations irans semi official News Agency Fars has also acknowledged that protesters have been chanting antigovernment slogans. Down with the liars who many must step down the words of angry students gathered in front of the Polytechnic University in tehran when they heard the news that it was the Iranian Military who shot down the ukrainian airliner tempus boiled after days of denial. She is here terrorism it is a peaceful protest we want to show that we disagree with what is happening in the past few days. Because of the things that support the. People are tired of this we cant handle this anymore. In the morning to hit the a force of the brave aleutian re god admitted in a Live Press Conference what could no longer be kept secret. Hes troops would taint on wednesday because of the war like atmosphere. And antiaircraft officer thought the object displayed to him was an american Cruise Missile unfortunately he made a hasty decision and a tragic accident followed its mobile phone videos on the internet showed the launch of the anti Aircraft Missile runs late is admitted the mistake Supreme Leader cumani apologized to relatives of the victims and president rouhani and foreign minister said eve announced punishment of those responsible and compensations for the families affected but as candles laid for the victims in tehran many of the mourners may feel apologies will not be enough. And iran expert tropper talked to us earlier on the situation in tehran heres what she had to say about the protests felt by many iranians turned into anger quite quickly both abroad and within the country itself were seeing a lot of responses on social media where people out blaming the revolutionary guards for the tragedy theyre asking why they did not declare a no fly zone while they knew that the confrontation with the United States would get worse theyre asking what took them so long to acknowledge their. Fault and also demanding consequences some even calling for the resignation of the Supreme Leader of course and thats something Security Forces within the Islamic Republic usually cannot tolerate so. Also hearing reports of Internet Connection getting worse in some parts of the country so that could indicate that the Islamic Republic is trying to shut down social media again just like it did during the last wave of protests to silence its critics the problem apparently was that it took a long time until everybody within the Islamic Republic knew what had actually happened because you have to see that it was not in irans military. Shot down that plane but the revolutionary guards thats a powerful organization designed to protect the public political system and they said when they noticed that they had made a mistake they decided not to go public but had an investigation 1st and from what we hear the countrys president and even the Supreme Leader only learned about all of that data and that it was then and then within decided to go public with it. I was to raise the tropper talking to us earlier 57 canadians died in the plane crash making them the 2nd Largest Group of victims by nationality after irans admission that it shot down the plane canadas Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau addressed reporters about a story that has shocked the country. With iran has admitted to this very serious shooting down a civilian aircraft is horrific iran must take full responsibility. Canada will not rest until we get the accountability justice and closure that the families deserve. And joining us for more is c. B. C. Reporter evan dyer in ottawa evan trudeau said he was furious and outraged and talked about the need for accountability and justice but what does that mean exactly. Well actually he was pressed on that several times and i must mention by the way it isnt 63 canadian victims rather than 57 by the canadian count there were some confusions over dual citizenship since all of the canada considers 63 of its citizens to have died in this crash he was asked about that and he gave quite a few variations on the answer of well see what justice looks like in the coming weeks were going to have discussions with other allies and so on he didnt really get into the details on justice and accountability but transparency we understand means inspections and thats what the canadian side is working on right now there are 3 canadian officials who we believe landed in tehran about 2 hours ago canada has no diplomatic presence of course in tehran so they travel to great certainty where they were given 3 visas 3 officials went ahead but the understanding is that there but i know consular officials theyre there to deal with consular matters such as repatriation of remains to canada kind of course really wants to get its air crash inspectors from the Church Protection safety board to look at the actual evidence of the crash although the main question of course already been answered the plane was brought down by a missile and other questions about who gave the order and so on maybe out of the reach of air crash. How is the canadian public as a whole reacting to all this. Wild theres a lot of outrage theres a lot of sadness too i must say that these were you know this was a plane which had entire families and had some very talented people with promising futures there were a huge loss of people for example you know bert and many of them were researchers from the university of alberta which seems to taken a particularly hard hit just some you know some very promising people or on that plane as well as people who were just on their way home making a difficult journey because its hard to reach your own from can a difficult story to see families and i guess you know one of the differences actually with this crash from the air india crash which was the biggest terrorist incident came to history that killed about 300 people most of whom were indian and canadian dual citizens at the time the Prime Minister back in 1900 sent condolences to india almost overlooking the fact that most of people on that plane were canadians that this is a very well integrated Community Today irani in community very much part of the National Fabric and is there a perception that people died because of the standoff between the United States and iran and if so between washington and tehran which side do you think canadians might blame or. Mort iran i dont think theres any doubt about that but i think i mean there will be people of course we take the opposite position but i dont think theyd be the majority what i do think though is that some blame is at least for what weve seen from the direction of the Prime Minister hes been asked on a couple of occasions whether he blamed the United States he didnt take the bait but he certainly didnt say no of course not we blame the ones who pulled the trigger on the missile given answers more along the lines of those are questions were going to be looking at and those are questions canadians going to ask themselves as well so certainly theres a sense that canada should have been ward before these initial its actually assassination or general sold it money because canada has troops in iraq both just part of Nato Mission Iraq in baghdad and at the base in irbil which was hit by Ballistic Missiles fired from iran and canada had no warning of the attack that was going to leave that rebel ok well thank you for that c. B. C. Reporter evan di reporting from ottawa thanks very much and german chancellor Angela Merkel has welcomed irans admission that it was responsible for the downing of the plane her comments came following a meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin in moscow on saturday a crash was just one of the many urgent items on their agenda. Under the americal on her way to a quick meeting with Vladimir Putin the list of International Crises is long iran syria ukraine libya germany wants to mediate proposing a peace conference in berlin to end the civil war in libya get all neat and so its about non interference about sovereignty and thats why the partys current mean gaged in a military confrontation in libya represented by mist to survive and nice to have to should naturally be tightly involved and i truly think since the tiny. Different groups have been fighting for power in libya since 2011 russia supports general Khalifa Haftar against the un recognized government in tripoli but putin says he will encourage the german initiative. This conflict not only undermine stability in the region it also has negative effects on europe.
