We begin right now. In the streets of tehran, grief turned to outrage after an about face from iran admitting that it shot down a ukrainian passenger jet by mistake. Listen. Iranian media report a vigil turned to a demonstration on saturday. Video of protesters demanding the Supreme Leader to step down and even death to the dictator. Most of the 176 victims on the flight were iranian and canadian. Of course, iran initially denied it shot down the plane but a top iranian general says the jet was misidentified as a Cruise Missile that came amid tensions with the u. S. , canada and ukraine say its good that iran came clean, but now they want tehran to cooperate with International Investigators and give the families of the dead justice. The protests on the streets picking up International Pressure on iran certainly in play. Cnns International Diplomatic editor Nic Robertson is following it all for us in our abu dhabi bureau. Good to have you with us, nic. If there was a sense of unity among the targeted killing of soleimani and the downing of this plane and following admission seems like the Public Opinion has been turned on its head. Certainly not what the iranian leadership wanted. They had the momentum exactly where they wanted it. That soleimani was a martyr to the ongoing tensions with the United States and this was playing perfectly into the leaderships narrative of focusing anger outside of the country. What has happened here under International Pressure, the leadership has recognized that they did need to accept because the evidence was being slowly leaked internationally. They did have to accept that it was one of their missiles that did take down the plane. This is causing them double blow back because the International Reaction has not been, oh, thank you very much. Good of you to acknowledge that. That is a first step, we need more first steps and accountability and clarity and thats what we are hearing from the canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau and the ukrainian president , as well. For there to be closure from the victims here, from the families of the victims. That can only come through this process of thorough international investigation, which gets into all the corners and avenues of what happened. Then domestic blow back, as you say. The iranian leadership was very happy with all this public support on the streets for soleimani. Now, some of that has turned against him at the university yesterday. People shouting death to the dictator. People are angry and frustrated here. We know a deep resentment among many parts of the population in iran to the leadership. From two things. One is that so many people onboard that aircraft were iranians. That irans own military suggests that that civilian aircraft shouldnt fly that night. And then the leadership should actually accept making a mistake when for several days they knew that this had happened. This just is now playing very negatively against irans leaders. Nic robertson with the perspective and reporting in abu dhabi. Thank you. So, again, iran insists the flight is shot down just hours after it launched missiles at bases with u. S. Troops in iraq. That was a response to the u. S. Killing, of course, of iranian general Qassem Soleimani. His account saying that an operator made the mistake to fire on the plane. He added this, quote, it appears that his communication lines had failed. Either it was jammed or the network was overloaded and he was unable to communicate. He had ten seconds to make a decision. Goes on to say he could either fire or not fire under this condition, unfortunately, he makes the bad decision and fires the missile and the plane is hit. Lets talk about this with justin joining us from london, a Research Fellow specializes in air power. Thanks so much for being here, justin. Good morning. Morning. I want to ask you first about what we just heard about that explanation from an iran general. What do you make of that . I think a Cruise Missile is probably the most likely thing that the had convinced themselves they were seeing because they were bracing for potential u. S. Retaliation. Worth noting this was a scheduled flight, one of many by the International Airport by tehran and, b, its very difficult to see how they failed to see that this was a massively larger radar compact than a Cruise Missile would have been and behaving in a completely different way. They would have been able to see that it was at about 8,000 feet and climbing. Cruise missile 250 feet or less and probably diving and moving much faster. What does this say about the Iranian Military that they made a mistake in a situation that should have been obvious that this was not a Cruise Missile. To what do you attribute that . Well, i think theres two main take aways. A, some serious gaps in the training on the equipment that theyve been using. Iran had the sa15 in question for about a decade. They should be pretty familiar with the system. And kept things like transpon r transponderer codes which could have showed up and also says that there are problematic procedural issues. Even quite stand alone should also be crosschecking with air Traffic Control data before they fire anything. So, this really shouldnt and human error. Right. And, also, the fact that the air space wasnt closed is unusual. So, we just heard our reporter say there needs to be clarity. What do you need to hear from iran now . So, i personally would be lot more comfortable flying into iran if they said, for example, were ensuring that all our air defense units have realtime uplinks to civilian air Traffic Control and that also they will explicitly link at an official level any changes to the rules of engagement for the defense network. Basically air traffic restrictions to prevent civilian airliners moving into a missile engagement when any possibility that they will just be fired upon based on operated. Justin bronk, we appreciate your expertise and as we get more information, we hope to talk to you, again. Thanks for your time. A group of protesters came together in tehran to mourn the victims of the Ukrainian Airlines crash. Among the demonstrators were friend and family members who lost loved ones after the crash. Many vented their anger towards the iranian government demanding the countrys leaders resign. Angry iranians have also taken to social media complaining that leaders have spent more time deflecting criticism rather than sympathizing with the victims. Cnns paula newton spoke with one man who lost three family members in the crash. And she sent us this report. In canada, they are reeling from the facts of what we have learned after lying about it for three days, iran now finally admitting that it is responsible for shooting flight 752 out of the sky. They continue to hold memorials, vigils. One of them, the memorial, happening here today. Amir must bury his sister, brotherinlaw, and his 1yearold niece. He does not know how to cope with things right now. Hes hoping the memorial will give him and all the mourners some comfort. What hes dealing with is trying to understand the facts of what happened. Still unbelievable to him and so many other canadians. I want you to listen to him explaining what he believes justice would look like for him and his family. We say eye for an eye, i know its not a possible way, but get them down. The regime has to come down. Enough of people killing. Enough of blood. Enough of young people die for no reason. I lost three people. Three of my best people. And its not replacement. What are they going to do . Give us money. Give us piece of land. Put a street under their name. I dont care. I could care less. I want them back. If i can get them back, they have to leave. They have to go. Amir is still trying to deal with identifying his loved ones back in iran. They have started to collect dna samples but they have not heard. One of the things he fears most his parents still in iran will not be able to get any peace until this family is buried. They believe they lost so much and all they want now is a measure of peace and part of that, they say, will come from the investigation. Theyre calling on canada and also the United States. All western allies, they say, to come together to make sure that iran is accountable and has a transparent investigation. Paula newton, cnn, toronto.

Whatever they saw fit, they exploited me. I wasnt important to them. None of us were important to them. We were tools. End quote.

Says it will expel more than one dozen saudi servicemen training in the u. S. This news follows the investigation into last months deadly shooting at an air base in florida. Authorities say a Saudi Air Force officer killed three american sailors before police shot and killed him. Some of those being expelled are said to have connections to extremist movement, but not accused of aiding the shooter. Questions loom over the justification for the u. S. Killing of irans top general Qassem Soleimani. President trump claims there was an imminent threat to multiple u. S. Embassies. The state department will not clarify what those threats were. Cnn White House CorrespondentJeremy Diamond has more on these mixed messages. Well, its been more than a week since President Trump organized the targeting killing of soleimani, but the president and top advisors seem still be tr struggling to get their message straight. The intelligence that led up to that operation. Specifically, questions about the specificity of the intelligence and whether or not the administration knew where this imminent attack was being planned. Just listen here to the secretary of state and the president of the United States. Soleimani was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on american diplomats and military personnel. Look no further than the days that led up to the strike. We did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy. He was looking very seriously at our embassies and not just the embassy in baghdad. We dont know precisely when and we dont know precisely where, but it was real. We had specific information on an imminent threat and that threat included attacks on u. S. Embassies. I can reveal that i believe it would have been four embassies. Now, beyond these questions about the specificity of the questions where exactly the iranians intended to attack the United States. The president there saying four embassies and the president saying we dont know exactly when or where but this key question about imminence. How imminent this threat, indeed, was to americans in the region. Now, the secretary of state has said both that it was an imminent threat and also said he did not know exactly when or where. This is a key question not for just matter of transparency or the rationale that they used to go through with this, but the legal justification for this. The Trump Administration was saying it was authorized to carry out a strike on an iranian general and not something authorized by congress because there was an imminent threat. That is certainly sparking questions from congress. Now, we are also seeing the president on saturday expressing his support for protests that were seeing happening in iran, protesters there calling for the resignation of the countrys Supreme Leader after iran mistakenly downed an airliner over the skies of iran. The president tweeting to the brave, long suffering people of iran, i have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely and are inspired by your courage. Jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. In the race for the white house, impeachment is on the mind of voters as the u. S. President ial primary season is a few weeks away from kicking off in iowa. The new cnn poll shows registered voters in the state are split on the matter. David has this from des moines. Reporter critical brandnew cnn Des Moines Register poll numbers on how folks are responding to impeachment. 48 of registered iowa voters say President Trump should not be removed from office. 40 say he should. That is certainly welcome news to the white house. Take a look across party lines. Obviously, all the democrats are in favor of removing the president from office. All the republicans are opposed. Look at that critical middle line. Independence. A slim majority of independents here in iowa, 51 , believe the president should stay in office. Only a third of independents say he should be removed. Watch those numbers over the course of the senate trial. If that 34 goes up and 51 goes down not just here in iowa but nationally, that will have political ramifications for things like witnesses and other matters that come up in the trial. Even though people here in iowa do not think the people should be removed from office, take a look at this. Majorities across every party says what the president is accused of doing here is not okay. They do not believe, even 59 of republicans say its not okay for a president ial candidate to ask a foreign country to interfere in the election, dig up dirt on arrival. That is not okay. In terms of the president s reelection effort here in iowa, a state he won by more than nine points in 2016. Look at these brandnew poll numbers. Hes got work to do here. 44 of registered iowa voters say they will not be voting for the president. They are not going to consider him for reelection. Theyre definitely voting for someone else. Take a look when you look by gender. 50 of female registered voters here in iowa are definitely voting for someone other than the president. He clearly has work to do here in a state that was very much in his corner just three years ago. Look at the suburban women specifically. Key demographic, fueled the Democratic Party rise in 2018. Delivered the House Majority to the democrats. Donald trump does even worse with them. Suburban women 56 of them here in iowa say definitely not voting for the president. President trump is clearly going to want to try to win back some of those suburban women if he has any intention of keeping iowa red in 2020. David chanlian, cnn, des moines. Lets bring in amy pope joining us in london. Good to have you. Great, thanks. Lets start with the mixed messages from the Trump Administration regarding there was truly an imminent threat. It has gotten so murky there seems to be a debate about the imminent and what does it mean. I just googled it. About to happen, an action. Was this truly imminent or simply the president taking an action and worrying about the response later . What is your read . All the evidence suggests that it wasnt something that was imminent, according to the textbook definition. And it looks like it was probably no more imminent than what the Obama Administration or even the Bush Administration had considered and decided against taking out soleimani. So, this really looks like the president was reacting. That he was not taking the advice of his advisors. That he was concerned about another benghazi incident happeningen ohis watch and he wanted to demonstrate strength. I dont believe that the evidence is going to show that there was any more imminent threat than that. Well, the question is, will we ever see any evidence . Thats the question that remains unanswered at this point. There is a committee within congress that has the security clearances to see that evidence. It doesnt sound like theyre getting that evidence. So, the president really has a case to make here and hes not made it yet. We went over a lot of polling data before that. I want to get your thoughts on this key info. The minds of what iowa voters are thinking about when it comes to their next choice for president asked in the next election, would you definitely vote for President Trump. 42 of men said yes and 27 of women saying yes and 13 of men said they would consider someone else and 12 of men saying that. And 15 of women said they would definitely vote for someone else. 37 of men said they felt the same way. On the face of it as you see those numbers what do you make of the plus minus for democrats and the plus minus for the president . This is a trend we have seen going back to 2018. We saw a number of democrats take house seats that had been traditionally republican, primarily in the suburbs and largely in part because of the frustration of american suburban women. And it looks like trump has not in the last two years. We know their key issues are things like education, health care, Prescription Drug prices and this president , instead of fixing those key issues has been focused on issues like immigration. And, you know, within the last ten days, hes taken us to the brink of a war in the middle east and putting more troops there. So, i think he really needs to focus on these suburban voters that could make the difference for him in 2020. Lets focus even more precisely on suburban voters, women. What do they think . Suburban women. Take a look at this polling data in davids report, as well. 22 of women say they will definitely vote for the president. 19 say they will consider someone else and 56 say they will definitely vote for someone else. So, suburban women were critical for President Trump when it came to his election. How do you see him going into this 2020 race . Support for him among suburban women is eroding and thats been going on for some time. Again, if you look at places like michigan, like virginia. Places where there are seats that have been held by republicans for some time and you saw a switch in 2018, it suggests that suburban women do not have a lot of patience. They dont like the tweeting. They dont like the very bellicose rhetoric. They want him to get things done and he hasnt demonstrated that he could get done the issues that really matter to them.

Antigovernment protesters took to the streets of iran on saturday after authorities admitted to mistakenly shooting down a ukrainian passenger jet. 176 people on that flight were iranian and canadian. Canadas Prime Minister said u. S. iran tensions contributed to the incident but iran must take full responsibility. The hours before iran shot down that plane, u. S. Troops were taking cover from an Iranian Missile strike on the Al Asad Air Base in iraq. Retaliation for the top iranian general. Cnn senior arwa damon was the first journalist to gain access to the base and she spoke with troops about the moment leading up to that attack. These were living quarters, sleeping quarters. The troops that lived here lost everything. Very little if anything that was salvageable because there was also a fire that ended up raging here for a few hours after the missile impacted in this particular area. The reason why no one was killed not here and not in any of the other locations of impact is because there was advanced warning. We dont know what. We dont know how. That is very sensitive information. But, we are told that hours before the attack even began, they knew something was happening. They just did not know specifically what it was going to be. So, precautions were taken. By 11 00 p. M. , troops who could hunker down were hunkered down in bunkers. Some of them in saddamera bunkers. Others who had to man their posts because of the security situation, they were still out there. And then the strikes began at about 1 34 in the morning. This is the crater left behind by one of them. There are so many stories that were hearing about heroics and so many stories were hearing of really extraordinary close calls. Those who lived through this say that its clear that iran wasnt that concerned with trying to save u. S. Lives. A lot of these impacts did happen in places that they could potentially have caused significant u. S. Casualties and this is Lieutenant Colonel stacy coleman. What was that night like . How do you begin to describe it . It was hard to describe it. I will tell you, extremely scary. Some of my team and myself were hunkered down in one of those bunkers and when the first waves started hitting, you could feel the shockwave. And even inside the bunker, the pressure was so strong that we watched our bunker doors sink in towards the inside of the bunker and then escape back out. About seven of the impacts were in very close proximity to where ewoo were hunkered down. Like i said, you could feel every last one of the shockwaves. It was very scary. Very lucky or was it the training and the precautions that were taken that there were no u. S. Casualties . I would say it is a combination of god looking out for us. It is a combination of, you know, the little bit of intel and advance warning that we got. And then it was the smart commanders on the ground making onspot decisions to get people out of harms way. And how do you begin to describe, i mean, what this was like and then, of course, what kind of security precautions youre having to take now given the situation. This was, like i said, we knew something was happening but we didnt know exactly what. As the time grew closer, we kind of felt like we had an indication of what it might be, but we still werent certain. We had advance warning that there may be some rockets followed by a base incursion. We had to keep our Security Forces out to make sure that we were safe from that. So, there were a good number of folks out along the perimeter and within the air field keeping it secure. Out there on the perimeter, keeping it secure while these missiles are coming in. They were outside during every last one of the missile strikes. Well, it would seem that it was very fortunate and, also, as we have been saying, because of this advance warning that exists. Because of these precautions that were taken. There is the sense that while this phase of what is unfolding has concluded. Everyone here is still very much on high alert. Arwa damon, cnn, Al Asad Air Base, iraq. Lets talk more about it with sam kylie. Arwas piece illustrated how close troops came to being very much impacted by these strikes. Yeah. Youre absolutely right, natalie. What they indicate is power and reach and capability of the Iranian Missiles. Now, if you combine that with continuing threats from the iranianbacked militia groups. Two of the main ones designated recently by the United States as International Terrorist groups, both of them continuing their demands that the United States withdraw from their military activities here in iraq. There are about 5,200 u. S. Troops give or take in iraq partly in a training role and also operating his support, operations for the ongoing special forces work against the socalled Islamic State in syria and, of course, providing a liaison and air support for the iraqis to continue their fight against socalled Islamic State here inside iraq. Now, that is less of a challenge internally for the iraqis, but, nonetheless, the parliament here has voted by a tiny majority of overwhelming hardline shia parties to demand that the u. S. Also withdraw. Many others. Sunni, kurds who do not want to see a premature withdrawal from iraq. They are also against american troops here. There is also a strong sense that the socalled Islamic State will exploit that level of tensions and chaos and try to stage a comeback. Theyre almost weekly, almost daily, frankly, reports of Islamic State attacks on iraqi Security Forces here in iraq. So, that is a problem that hasnt gone away. This country feeling very resentful, indeed, that it is becoming the battleground of a proxy war between the United States and iraq. Just as weve seen in iran a return to demonstrations there against the government, so weve seen here on the streets in baghdad, a similar demonstrations demanding reforms of the government. The sort of demonstrations weve seen now for some months. But on top of that, demand that the United States and iran stop interfering in iranian politics. That was something that was speculation that might go away, but now, in fact, it is very much back at the center of the street demonstrations, natalie. Right. Theyre not giving up their demands despite iraq being caught in the middle of the situation between iran and the United States. Want to ask you, what kind of vacuum would take place if suddenly u. S. Troops departed iraq . Well, the u. S. Troops are here, remember, at the invitation, at the request, indeed, of the Iraqi Government. Now, it is the lame duck Iraqi Government that is asking for negotiations withdrawal. If they would withdrawal suddenly there would be a gap for training iraqi forces and a significant problem in terms of air force coordination and intelligence gathering, which the americans provide a great deal of. Its for that reason, really, that the Trump Administration has been pressuring nato to take a greater role not just in iraq but across the middle east. Donald trump to see the level of american commitment dial down in a region that he sees as strategically important to the United States, but even more strategically important to the european nations who get the bulk of guests from this region and, again, to asian nations questioning why is it the United States has to take the lead here. So, if it were to be a vacuum and pressure on nato to step in. The problem is that over the years nato has been really hollowed out by its depends on the United States for air supplies and air cover, logistics and its really questionable whether nato as an organism and american presence here. The iranians know that and thats why theyre putting so much pressure by their proxies here for the u. S. To with drawa. Thank you for your reporting, sam. We really appreciate it. All right.

There are things i could have handled on the ground much better. These are very raw, emotional environments. I have to say that 95 of the responses i had in these cases went very positive and very appreciative. But, david, these are sensitive environments. They are very emotional environment. Prime ministers are flesh and blood, too, and engage with people. Mr. Morrison will propose a National Review with the response to the disaster. The Sydney Opera House lit its famous sails with tribute to firefighters to them and the communities they sought to protect. A 66yearold firefighter died on saturday while on duty. In the United States, a deadly storm front is cutting a path of destruction across the south and its not done yet. A strong line of storms.

A full update on the Severe Weather in the u. S. In a minute but derek van dam with a volcano erupting. Pretty astounding video. We want to bring it to you here quickly. This is a volcano south of manila spewing ash into the sky. About one kilometer into the sky. Prompting authorities to raise an alert level and order the evacuation of 8,000 residents. Youre looking at that ash plume into the sky there. The tall volcano is what it is called there. The seismology raise it to a level three indicating a magmatic unrest that could lead to a hazardous eruption in weeks. Well, clearly, something is happening there. We dont have a lot of information just yet. But one thing we do know about it, this is an active volcano. Erupted about 34 times in recent history a free raddic eruption which water beneath the ground is heated by magma and creates this steam cloud. Also, unfortunately, had signs of some ash getting induced into that, as well. Obviously, some sort of a volcanic eruption taking place here and something that well continue to monitor here at the cnn weather center. Wanted to pass those visuals on to you. Another big story natasha was talking about is Severe Weather across the United States. Nearly 500 reports of wind damage across the eastern u. S.
