You know the thing that is clear to us and that we can say with certainty is that this plane was not hit by a missile. Seriously the evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an arena surface to air missile the reigning state would never kill it some people this may well have been unintentional we do believe that its likely that the plane was shot down by a rainy and something very terrible happened very devastating and when we get the results of that investigation i hope it will we and the world will take appropriate actions it was. Also coming up australians demand that action on Climate Change as the country braces for more mega blazes brought about by high temperatures and strong winds this form was ferocious just standing up in a hero and you could just hear the rumbling the roar of. The sound that never forget its horrible. Welcome to viewers on p. B. S. In United States and indeed around the world iran has denied western allegations that one of its missiles and shot down a ukrainian passenger jet that crashed outside killing everyone on board ukraine the Ukrainian International airlines. Flight was on its way from the iranian capital tehran to the ukrainian capital kiev the plane went down shortly after takeoff it was carrying 176 people most of them in training and canadian happened just hours after iran launched an attack against u. S. Targets in neighboring iraq western intelligence agencies believe an iranian surface to air missile hit the airliner we do believe that its likely that that plane was shot down by Iranian Missile were were going to let the investigation play out before we make a final determination its important that we get to the bottom of it but weve seen weve seen video weve seen film of bulldozers and during the after you make a judgment you want to radian state t. V. Weve seen bulldozers clearing the area that doesnt normally happen after a plane thats. Take the accidents plane accidents or very technical issue i cannot judge you cannot judge the porters underground cannot judge nobody can judge says one obligation Aviation Authority cannot speculate we have to be certain of the things we say the causes we arent sure of yet but as i said what we can say for certain is that a missile did not strike the plane. Well lets get more on this from aviation analyst to julian bray he joins us from cambridge in the United Kingdom welcome to d. W. So we have now an investigation and 3 pack conflicting theories irans going with mechanical failure or pilot error while an increasing number of western intelligence agencies are pointing at an accidental Iranian Missile strike what are you thinking at this early stage. Well the stories moved on quite a bit today and the the thinking is study it was a proximity missile basically this means at the misao is fire does not he touch the aircraft but soon see it comes within a few yards of it it will explode so that will then release lot so shrapnel and column 5 ish odds and literally it just lacerate see aircraft so that business is what the evidence seems me pointing to but we just heard from iran Civil Aviation had chief say that it definitely wasnt a missile strike what you think makes them so show well with the gray shes a respect to the a rainy an all thora sees theyre not exactly a following procedure in investigating accidents they cleared the site they started clearing the site today and theyve had diggers out sort of moving everything a way getting rid of all the day every theres been no mapping over the site has be no photography of of the site they removed all the parties yesterday they have remove possessions and theyve let the local population war all over water is a crime scene so obviously they go just say that nothing is happening nothing is wrong and you cant judge but the point is then also allowing their proper investigation to take place and its old down to the black boxes now and were hoping theyre not going to mess those up because the the big it if face was a missile strike then presumably will hear somebody say oh my goodness whats that oh a war worse that affect yes there are 2 data recorders on this take rare craft captures all the sound of the flight the conversations between the pilot and the traffic control. His copilot and you should be able to judge from that what state the pilots it was excited. Hole or whatever was happening there and all the other side you have. Set out to record every electrical impulse every switch thats changed every drop in voltage all that sort of thing and that both on timelines and you meld the 2 together and you get a complete picture of whats been happening all that aircraft for about one or 2 hours before the actual incident and thats what were off to now the iranians have these they have phones is this saying already that one is damaged and theyre not to say how they got to go about it. There is no delete the requirement for the iranians to hand the boxes over to boeing also the Engine Manufacturers the way it usually the boxes all say to. An independent the barfly that sets out to decode these and this is what we hope they do that we really dont want to raney and opening these boxes up and poking around inside to see whether they can get something off if it really needs to be expertly decoded ok so as you said there is an investigation but lets speculate lets say that it was one of these proximity missiles for whatever reason how people are going to be asking how presumably a multimillion dollar system accidentally hit system villian passenger plane how does that happen. Well they could have been firing at Something Else and perhaps they are aiming mechanism wasnt quite right remember this is heat seeking its proximity it doesnt actually have to go towards the aircraft it just detects a heat source and grows straight for it so this is being charitable we could say that this was a mistake they were aiming for Something Else but the point is this missile did actually coals cause this plane to crash so way this is this is a new plane its not even 4 years old yet and so if again continuing a speculation if this was an accidental shooting by iranian misao one of the repercussions of that dog what happens to his Health Responsibility and what does that look like. Well the west is the west the the countries involved are already saying theyre suggesting this was a mistake its unintentional they didnt mean it to happen so theyve given the iranians a way out say to go along with this and we will counter that arrangement over it now the words will be no ongoing hostilities because of this particular incident accidents do happen hopefully not too many times. The firing this asshole and what theyre saying is that theyre going to carry out their investigation theyre inviting everybody in and youve got to realize of course that boeing is american and the engine engine manufacturer is american so theyre not too predisposed to go. At the moment so what they might have to do get a proxy team in because theyve got associations with other firms around the world and do it that way but the most important thing is that we really really like to see these 2 policies going to somewhere like that be a paris who are set up for it and they can do all the proper tests and they can then give the independent report back to iran for them to distribute as they so choose thats very clear thank you for joining us aviation analyst julian bright. Of the u. S. Government has unveiled new sanctions against irans Steel Industry and senior regime officials secretary of state mike pompei o 7 sanctions are a response to irans missile attack on u. S. Bases in iraq which followed the u. S. Assassination last week of irans top military command general cassim solomonic secretary pompei o defended President Trumps decision to kill the general saying that in rain an attack against u. S. Interests was imminent the goal of our campaign. Is to deny the regime the resources to conduct its destructive Foreign Policy we want iran to simply behave like a normal nation we believe the sanctions that we imposed today further that strategic objective we had specific emanation information on an imminent threat and those threats trim included attacks on us embassies period full stop i dont know exactly which minute we dont know exactly which day it would have been executed but it was very clear customs of the mahdi himself was plotting a broad large scale attack against american interests and those attacks were imminent against american facilities including american embassies military bases american facilities throughout the region this is i think. Straight to washington that when he joined correspondent propofol they welcome. The u. S. Is ultimately goal is to follow what they say its ultimately goal is to force iran to renegotiate a new weapons deal but its hard to see why iran would negotiate with a country that has demonstrated such bad faith in the past and walked away from previous agreements so this fall weve seen lots of stick is there any carrots. Well yeah certainly a pretty fair statement to say that but of course the goal of the United States is to put so much pressure on iran by introducing these new sanctions adding to already a significant level of sanctions on iran that are already in place that eventually what will happen is iran will just not be able to cope and will have to. Sit down and renegotiate a new deal with the United States which is what President Trump has wanted since taking office and he has very much believed in this maximum pressure were seeing it now with these new sanctions on you know so many sectors in iran finances construction manufacturing textile mining sectors also against aid to rein in officials who are said to be involved in destabilizing activities and actually phyllis want to bring in something thats happened in the past few minutes which is that its being revealed here in the United States in that one of the big networks here fox news have been showing a snippet of an interview with President Trump in which President Trump once again justifies the reasons why they went after and custom still in money and then he said in this interview well tell you probably. See the money was going to be there going to target the embassy in baghdad he says that he can reveal that it was going to be as well for embassies so this gives once again more just a vacation in the eyes of President Trump for introducing this these new fresh round of sanctions against iran. Present trumbo lot of last weeks killing without congressional approval so the house of representatives has now passed a nonbinding vote in to limit the president s ability to engage in military conflict against iran this code become binding if it gets support the house voted almost completely along party lines to pass this resolution. Today to honor our duty to keep the American People safe that is our 1st responsibility to protect and defend we must keep the American People safe the house will pass a war powers resolution to limit the president s military actions regarding iran id actually like to hear a democrat speak to the 600 gold star families the somani killed id like to hear them to finn that the Resolution Resolution before the house today is a step towards reasserting our constitutional duty to reign in a president who is unilateral actions have isolated us from our allies increased the risk of a Nuclear Armed iran and made us less safe dont try to pass some figley fig leaf resolution that is only intended to try to undermine the president in the middle of a conflict with the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism iran just about to publish this in washington pablo so talk us through what this resolution actually means well this is essentially you mentioned it before it was you know mostly along party lines of course to majority is held in the lower house by the democrats but this is really a show of force and power by the legislature here in the u. S. To say you know President Trump you need to remember that were here and that in order for the president to for example go into a war in the case of iran if he were to want to do that at some point that he needs to get approval from congress and thats something that they want to basically reiterate and show once again that he cannot just do essentially what he wants so it was also very telling that they also knew that if it does pass onto the senate you know it probably will not get approval because thats not forget that the senate is controlled by a majority of the majority there is by republicans. Above all the alice in washington thank you meanwhile European UnionForeign Ministers have been holding emergency meetings in brussels to discuss the crisis in iraq following nuff Foreign Policy chief a job a call for deescalation from both sides and reaffirms the box commitment to the Iranian Nuclear deal the region cannot afford another war it really is going not afford another wall and we call for an urgent discoloration and maqsood restraint to every part we are also committed to preserving the joint comprehensive plan of action. Without the g c p o a 2 day iran would be a Nuclear Power we have to avoid the spider all over by the lence and create the situation in iraq that can be very dangerous for all of us and destroy is of work and efforts on the rebuilding of this country and you Foreign Policy chief Joseph Burrell straight to brussels where we join brussels correspondent to teri schultz welcome terry so where does the bureau. Speaking very statesman like but one wonders does anyone besides the e. U. Care that the e. U. Still backs Iran Nuclear Deal but there have been recent events rendered it it relevant. Well truly it isnt helped by mr burrells rather uninspired. Pronouncement that the deal is not dead but you know its not true that nobody cares about the iran deal anymore that everybody believes its irrelevant because besides the European Union you know who else cares iran cares and thats evidenced by the fact that although it has now breached all obligations under the Iran Nuclear Deal quite openly and flagrantly it did not kick out and specters and that truly would have been the death of the deal because the e. U. Relies entirely on the assessments of these International Inspectors to determine what it does next so the others the other parties that care about the Iran Nuclear Deal are china and russia dont forget that they are also signatories to this deal and neither of them have suggested they want to either quit it or to take this step of re imposing sanctions on iran for breaching the deal so the other 5 parties other than the United States still want to keep it alive even if it is by this very very very thin thread ok so it looks increasingly like a fight between the United States to run wont influence the e. U. Bring to bad. Policy. It is true that the e. U. Is largely sidelined here as the u. S. And tehran battle it out and the question then comes up if its not dead is is it really alive and that remains to be seen but you do hear in you governments sounding increasingly realistic which could also be pessimistic in saying that without the United States and without the United States removing these sanctions that are just crippling the iranian economy and and basically hamstringing the e. U. To do anything about it you really dont have much of a chance of reinvigorating this deal listen to what the in Prime Minister edgars drink of its told my colleague max under today at the emergency ministerial we need to reach out today and i think states understand its also not going to be an easy dialogue and then try to push everyone of the table or at least to push everyone to try to find their ways how we can actually proceed however lets face it result in ited states it is almost impossible to divide the whole lets say deal as it stands maybe we need to look at the broader issues maybe need to one of them and Ballistic Missiles program and also activities appeared on in the region because those were also 2 key elements the threat not covered by the deal 2015 we now say that actually does the issues arent important. So thats a really interesting statement from the latvian foreign minister because he is saying that the 2 issues which the u. S. Used to justify its abandonment of the nuclear deal that is irans Ballistic Missile program and its support for destabilizing activities in the region were not covered in the deal and think of as you saying perhaps we do need to open it up further something the e. U. Has not been willing to do up to this point which is basically stalemated discussions with the the United States over a launching a new deal now theres no sign that iran is willing to discuss those issues but we are certainly hearing perhaps more realistic rhetoric coming from the European Union ok todays meeting of e. U. Foreign ministers was also attended by you the nato secretary general what is nato its position on this unilateral military
