Down with the lies who my name 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 tempers boiled after days of denial. But she is here tells them it is a peaceful protest we want to show that we disagree with what has happened in the past few days.

Im joined now by abbas milani he is the director of iranian said. Its at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University professor milani thank you for joining our program now just how significant are these protests underway in tehran and are they any different from previous ones. I think they are different than the previous those stray sions particularly the previous those situations 2 months ago were sent should be dispossess of the poor marginalized as these are the elites in society they are going to that. Many of the wrong means in. Recent. And theyre objecting to the fact that iran lied about its complicity try to hide it has since been apps of a big building here in the street and. People were mulling quoting their loved ones well right after the United States assassinated irans top general sill of money there were widespread antiamerican protests there was an outpouring of nationalist pride and now its just a few days later were seeing these protests against the Iranian Regime professor what do you make of this shift. Im not very surprised because i think the iranians people are wise people they were trying to show the world that they dont want war that their agents the fact that the United States to arm itself to assassinate a certain most powerful person in iran but at the same on this regime for its corruption incompetence and for the way treats iranian people but the fact that they are they try to hide their complicity in in this truly remarkable. Event and the 2 are contradictory but at the same and at the same complex iranian response to a very complicated situation we have an iran today well we have seen the Iranian Revolutionary guards actually issue an apology to the nation and they say they take full responsibility for the accidental downing of the plane i mean this is quiet and unprecedented gesture dont you think. Yes and no yes in a sense that they have finally accepted the responsibility. But. If you look at the social media because people are angry that the only accepted this because there were canadian german swedish. Citizens in this tragedy and how did it being old iranian there is every indication that the regime would have continued its effort to cover up if you look at the shows 3 days this regime well i dont know its way to cover this up there well its way too long. Read the reports that have just come out from the ukrainian officials the regime try as the Ukrainian Team arrives in iraq to learn about every aspect of this these things are known in iran and in many people are i had professor abbas malani we thank you very much indeed for being on our program. All the aircraft shot down by iran was from Ukraine International airlines and 11 of those killed were ukrainian citizens in the wake of the disaster ukraines president vladimir selenski has been speaking to his iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani in a video statement selenski said he received a full apology from iran for shooting down the aircraft but also called on tehran to punish those responsible and repatriate the bodies of those killed as soon as possible there are now 45 ukrainian investigators on the ground in tehran and spoke earlier to correspondent david stern and care of and i asked him what role theyre playing now that we know the plane was shot down by an Iranian Missile and what ukraines next moves might be. Well it also should be said that the the story is not over for the ukrainians as you said there are 45 investigators or from any number of different. Government groups that have gone down there and they also part of the ukrainians want to find out all the details in fact it should be said that they have opened up their own criminal investigation here because ukrainians were killed and they and there have been and there may be charges the president in his speech and said that anybody everybody who is guilty or that the guilty will be punished and also it should be said that his his speech or his video address emphasize that he was he would protect ukrainians wherever they find themselves in the world he said in any corner of the world so this is obviously something that the president has put has promised to the ukrainian people and he seems to be trying to follow through on it. That was doubly is david stern speaking to me a short time ago from chios all right lets get you a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world both sides in libyas military conflict have announced plans to abide by a cease fire a spokesman for libyas eastern based forces issued a video statement confirming the truce eastern based militants have fought for months to take control of the capital tripoli which is the siege of the countrys un backed government.

To australia now where another firefighter has died battling the countrys devastating bushfires this brings the death toll to 28. 00 since the fire started 3 months ago after weeks of criticism australias Prime Minister Scott Morrison now says he made mistakes in his response to the crisis. The famous sales of the Sydney Opera House these days so often shrouded in smoke and now a canvas carrying messages of thanks to the firefighters has battled the bushfires some losing their lives the latest victim a 60 year old forestry worker named bill slade. Bill was working as a member of fatah false and yank less rest area. And he was struck by a train. To bushfires have left many socalled killer trees waiting to fall landscapes like these are the new normal in the country scorching summer and some australians are angry demanding their leaders take action to address the causes of the crisis now the embattled Prime Minister Scott Morrison has admitted some failures i think there are things that i could have handled on the ground much better theres a very emotional environment and Prime Minister is a flesh and blood who wouldnt have engaged with put engagements like this on wanted handshakes and called shoulders when confronted by critics morris and now says he shouldnt have holidayed in hawaii in the heat of the crisis and after months of equivocating a clear comment on the links between Climate Change and the fires. Quanah charge it is the governments policy has obviously impacted on the longer haul to draw some a sleaze and thats the advice weve received and that that is not contested that is the position of the government ok let there be no dispute about that as the fire call outs continue the Prime Minister has promised a Royal Commission to review the crisis but theres no announcement of any change to the countrys Carbon Emissions targets or its reliance on fossil fuels. Some australians want to see more substance and less smoke.
