A blow to venezuelas Opposition Leader as some of his representatives are accused of corruption. So then u. S. President donald trump says iran has made in his words a very big mistake by shooting down an american drone it happened early on thursday but the 2 countries are disputing exactly what happened the u. S. Military says a surface to air missile was fired at the Unmanned Aircraft in International Airspace over the strait of hormuz its believed the train was being used for High Altitude surveillance but irans revolutionary guard says the drone violated iranian airspace over the homes gun province so they were well within their rights to attack it or not long ago irans foreign minister fired these remarks off on twitter the u. S. Wages economic terrorism on iran he said its conducted covert action against us and now encroaches on our territory we do not seek war but will zealously defend our skies and land and waters will take this new aggression to the u. N. And show that the u. S. Is lying about interNational Waters well well hear more from tehran shortly but 1st lets go to our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett in washington so Kimberly Donald trump is spoken in 6 straight shooting words. As we have often heard from the president he doesnt mess around on social media when hes trying to send a message to a u. S. Adversary this is no exception the last couple of hours tweeting a very simple message to iran saying iran made a very big mistake now were looking for the president to elaborate on what he means by that is he considering some sort of military response its very unclear and that tweet is somewhat vague but he is expected to meet the canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau in the next half hour or so hes expected the canadian Prime Minister to arrive any moment you may see his car drive behind me as were talking but theres no question that this is an escalating volatile situation between the United States and iran the u. S. Central command saying that this is an unprovoked attack on a u. S. Surveillance asset in International Airspace i reached out to the National Security council to get its comments on what more there was in terms of response from the white house they would not answer directly only saying this that the National Security advisor john bolton is set to travel to meet with the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu on june 23rd to discuss Regional Security certainly the white house trying to give the appearance of of war planning whether or not that is exactly the case because it is unclear given the president s statements in recent days well his tweet was very strong hes also in recent days downplayed the escalation or any sort of military response its left many in the United States very confused added to that there is the question about the deployment of the troops that was announced just on monday the fact that the u. S. President sent such a small number just 1000 so many people would ask what impact that would have these are all questions that are to be posed to the president in the coming hour when the White House Pool will meet in the oval office where hopefully well get further clarity on what the president expects to do moving forward in light of his very strong tweet that iran has made a very big mistake youre right in the meantime habib any further reaction from capitol hill about the incident. Well theres been nervousness for quite some time nic with regard to what the administration has been doing in fact there is concern that this is sort of a reckless march to war and caught a direct military confrontation between the United States and iran and fresh in the minds of many senators on capitol hill is of course 2003 in the invasion of iraq which was led in faulty intelligence because the administration has continued to cite this concern and threat from iran most recently citing the intelligence that very grainy video that they say shows that iran was responsible for the attack on 2 tankers in the gulf of oman something that the senator said ive said is not in any way conclusive so there is this fear that there are very hawkish members of the trumpet ministration specifically the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei oh and also the National Security advisor john bolton who we should point out is again planning to go to israel on june 23rd to meet with the israeli Prime Minister there is this fear that they are asking late in things even as the president at times has dragged his heel in terms of any sort of confrontation with iran could be things we want to leave the time being can we hope that the White House Well lets get the view from tehran no dual should you barri has this report. According to irans revolutionary guards they say that this drone took off from a u. S. Air base in the south of the persian gulf where it made its way towards iran now they say that this device allegedly turned off all detection devices while it was making its way towards iranian airspace and shortly after 4 am local time at 45 exactly the iranians shot this drone down now this comes as the head of irans revolutionary guard has been speaking at a scheduled events in western iran lets hear what he had to say i know youre joining. We dont want to engage in any war but were fully prepared for war todays incident was a clear sign that we will protect old borders irans borders are already in the careful we have experienced we have sent a clear and message the drone had violated our borders. Reaction has been coming in swift the spokesperson for Irans Foreign Ministry has said that this is an act of aggression and it will be noted and responded to accordingly weve also been hearing from a certain if you m. P. s who said that they think this should go to the United Nations that the iranians should complain to that governing body within the United Nations and also it comes as tensions are high in this region the United States withdrawing from the 2015 Nuclear Agreement and really in stating some sanctions on iran has had the iranian officials saying that they are waging economic terrorism on iran and the recent escalation of tensions in this region is at it as a direct result of those policies. Judges in britain who ruled that government leaders who broke the law by allowing weapons sales to saudi arabia activists went to the court of appeal to argue that there was a clear risk that weapons used in the war in yemen violated human rights rules tens of thousands of yemenis have been killed in the south the u. A. E. Led will now in its 5th year britains Prime Minister to resign is considering an appeal against what she calls the disappointing ruling. Of Britains International trade sector he says no new licenses will be issued to sell saudi arms for now. As i said earlier we disagree with the judgment and the secret mission to appeal alongside this we are carefully considering the implications of the judgment for Decision Making while we do this we will not grant any new licenses for export to saudi arabia and its Coalition Partners which might be used in the conflict in yemen. Well lets hear now from the has more from outside the court of appeals in london. This is very much being seen as a partial victory for Campaign Groups sort of for the long and hard for this well theyre hoping for eventually is a total ban on all british arms sales to saudi but that may be some way off yet the British Government in response to this ruling has decided to freeze all pending arms sales to saudi looks into it although the British Government has said that it will challenge this ruling the courts has not whats in any way. The British Government to completely suspend licensing sales of weapons to saudi what it has ruled upon is that it was a lawful for the British Government to grant these licenses of weapons sales to saudi arabia knowing that these weapons were potentially end up in yemen and used potentially against civilian populations there we know that many tens of thousands of civilians in yemen have been directly affected by the saudi led a Bombing Campaign over the past few years the British Government has license sick. 1000000000. 00 worth of sales of weapons to saudi since the start of the war in march 2015 there has been growing scrutiny growing momentum publicly for the British Government to do more to control the flow of weapons from the u. K. To saudi but of course lucrative deals are in the pipeline a significant section of the british economy is dependent on saudi going ahead im buying british weapons all of that now remains very much in the air while the British Government works out what to do next in the wake of this court case well the sale of weapons to saudi arabia is also being discussed in washington where u. S. Senators are holding several votes aimed at blocky a multibillion dollar arms deal with the kingdom and the allies are john hendren joins me now from washington d. C. And john i understand there have been developments. Thats right nic in the past few minutes that resolution actually passed that is a resolution the 1st of a few resolutions blocking saudi arms sales from the United States billions of dollars worth of arms sales and it passed by a margin of 53 to 45 that means 6 republicans had to join this 747 democrats in order to pass that that shows a crack in that solid Republican Coalition behind the president in the United States senate is now that is not enough to override a certain president ial veto they need 67 votes for that but its a very strong statement it is a protest against the killings by saudi agents of Jamal Khashoggi the u. S. Resident and journalist for the Washington Post its also a protest against the killing of civilians in yemen using u. S. Weapons and those are the 2 things that both republicans and democrats cited in saying they were going to support this measure to block that vote but the republican leader Mitch Mcconnell said at a time when the u. S. Is being threatened by iran this is not the time to abandon allies this is what he had to say theres no shortage of productive steps at members disposal but recklessly counseling u. S. Arms sales to key regional partners is not on the look so the question the senate will soon consider is really those whether will lash out at an imperfect partner and undercut our own efforts to bill cooperation shock around and achieve other important goals or whether well keep our imperfect partners close and use our influence whether well push riyadh and away from the United States and push them closer to moscow adventure or whether well stay engaged and help our partners course correct where we can. Now there are 2 more procedural votes to go in the u. S. Senate but it is clear there is a crack in that coalition of republicans behind President Trump now this is happened once before and the president did override that veto but this shows a growing dissatisfaction with the president sort of personalize diplomacy and it suggests that the United States senate is not simply going to stand by while the president goes against traditional parag of the senate they wont be able to override the veto as of now unless a Stronger Coalition develops but it sends a very strong message both to President Trump and to saudi arabia john thanks very much john hendren washington d. C. Where the check is next then i. Want to be for many a chance of protesters have once again filled the streets of khartoum. And one of his former top generals has given several life sentences for his leading role in the failed coup.
