President trump defending that decision at his latest political rally, and the house votes to limit the president s war powers with some republican support. Did harry and meghan ignore the queens wishes . Their shocking announcement about stepping back from royal life. The royal family now locked in toplevel discussions about what comes next.

And ive only been here for half of it. I know. Trust me, i know. Thank you for joining us this friday morning. We begin with new details about that ukrainian passenger jet crash. U. S. , canadian, and british officials now saying its highly likely the jet was hit by an Iranian Missile, possibly by accident. This is new video showing it on fire before it finally went down. Just hours after the crash at least one iranian bulldozer reportedly cleared the crash scene, disturbing the evidence and making a legitimate investigation virtually impossible. And as ukraine wraps up a national day of mourning, the countrys president is vowing to learn the truth behind the crash. Heres abcs david kerley. Reporter for the first time, this. What appears to be the moment that 737 is hit by a missile. This video shot in the neighborhood of the last tracked position of the ukrainian jetliner. That missile can be seen streaking upwards right before impact. The sound following seconds later. The crippled jetliner in this video, posted by a resident outside tehran, shows the plane apparently on fire, breaking apart, and crashing three miles away. That impact also captured by cctv video which is airing on iranian media. The moment of impact with debris streaking past the camera. All videos reinforcing western intelligence that irans antiaircraft system hit the jetliner. More than onethird of the 176 on board were canadian. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an iranian surfacetoair missile. This may well have been unintentional. Reporter the American Intelligence Community is confident. Iran turned on a radar aimed at the jetliner which would guide antiaircraft missiles from a mobile launcher. A u. S. Satellite capturing the firing of two missiles at the 737, which was less than 5,000 feet off the ground. The warheads of those missiles would explode near the aircraft, blowing into bits of shrapnel that would pierce the aircraft in multiple locations. Pictures from the scene showed what appeared to be shrapnel holes in the wreckage of the ukrainian jet. President trump wouldnt say if he thought the jet was shot down, but somebody could have made a mistake. Some people say it was mechanical. I personally dont think thats even a question, personally. Reporter iran continues to deny it shot down the jet, calling it scientifically impossible. But look at what the iranian government has done. This was the scene hours after the crash. Abc news has exclusively obtained this video. The crash scene cleared of wreckage, the potential evidence. Its unclear where that wreckage has been taken, but the iranians have now invited the ukranians, canadians, french, and the u. S. To take part in the investigation. David kerley, abc news, washington. Our thanks to david. Such tragic details coming out of that. A couple of days ago we didnt know whether it had anything to do with the iranian conflict. There were suspicions but no confirmation. The middle east remains on edge with american troops on high alert even after iran and the u. S. Pulled back from a possible war. An iranian general warned of more attacks to come throughout the region as he stood in front of flags of irans proxy forces, including hamas and hezbollah. He claims dozens of u. S. Forces were killed or wounded in the attack even though there were no casualties. At home President Trump defended his decision to kill a top iranian commander.

Reporter the house approving a resolution requiring the president to get congressional approval for any future military action against iran that lasts longer than 30 days, making an exception only in cases where the u. S. Is defending itself from an imminent and armed attack. The president defended his decision to kill irans top commander, Qassem Soleimani, offering a new explanation. We did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy. We also did it for other reasons that were very obvious. Reporter but several senators who were briefed on the intelligence say there was no mention of a plot to bomb an embassy. And some lawmakers left that briefing wednesday night dissatisfied. Probably the worst briefing ive seen, at least on a military issue, in the nine years ive served in the United States senate. Reporter the president ramping up economic pressure on iran with fresh sanctions after the regime launched 16 missiles at two bases where american troops are stationed. An Early Warning system allowed american troops to scramble into their bunkers prior to the attack, resulting in no casualties for u. S. Or coalition forces. An iranian general threatened more attacks by proxies. The Trump Administration says it remains ready, saying the regime still poses a very real threat. Janai, kenneth . Our thanks to rachel scott there in washington. The Trump Administration is moving to change a landmark environmental law to speed up infrastructure projects. The law could limit how much Climate Change is considered in a construction and repair of roads, airports, pipelines, and schools. After questioning the existence of Climate Change for years, President Trump now says hes a believer. What is your position on Global Warming . Do you think its a hoax . No, nothings a hoax, nothings a hoax about that, very serious subject. I want clean air, i want clean water. I want the cleanest air, i want the cleanest water. The environments very important to me. The president said under current law it takes too long to evaluate the Environmental Impact of government projects, but critics say the administration is ignoring Climate Change and making it harder for the public to voice concerns. Overseas, american firefighters have been greeted with cheers and applause as they arrive in australia to help battle those Deadly Wildfires. Some people even wiped away tears. Video was posted by the commissioner of the New South Wales rural fire service. More than 150 american firefighters already in australia, there are plans to send at least 100 more.

Playing with the queen of hearts knowing it aint really smart the joker is the only fool who will do anything for you Queen Elizabeth is likely not feeling much like the queen of hearts these days as she sorts through a royal mess. Royal sources are confirming to abc news that prince harry defied a direct order from the queen to keep discussions private about he and meghan stepping away from their royal duties, and now shes leading talks to find a workable solution within days. This morning the palace reeling from that royal upheaval as prince harry and duchess meghan waste no time acting on their personal declaration of independence. Just days after announcing theyre taking a step back from royal duties. Meghan leaving for canada today to reunite with the couples son. It comes as we learn new details on the announcement that sources say left the queen stunned. The queen wasnt aware that the statement was going to go out. In fact, she expressly said, do not go public with this until weve managed to resolve it. Reporter abc news has learned prince harry defied a direct order from the queen to keep the decision private until the family had come to an agreement about the future, and that neither william nor charles saw the statement until just 10 minutes before it was sent to the media. Talks about the decision began months ago with prince harry first going to his father to discuss a change of roles. But Prince Charles demanded a more detailed plan before moving forward. Next harry went to the queen, who urged her grandson to work with his brother and father to find a solution. But that sudden break from the palace could tarnish that famous markle sparkle. Wish she was able to deal with that rather than have to pull away. Reporter outrage already from the public. I think what theyve done, let everybody down. Reporter members of the queens court have said the couple could be punished for disobeying an order from the queen, sparking rumors that the two could lose their official titles. For now titles are the least of the worries in Buckingham Palace. The queen setting up a series of Conference Calls with harry, Prince Charles, and Prince William to find the best solution for these complicated issues, including questions about who will foot the bill for the couples cost of living, police protection, travel, even their home in windsor, all costs currently picked up by the british public. Its now up to government officials to determine how meghan and harry can reduce their roles while still being funded by the taxpayers. The bottom line here is the british people will not like the fact that theyre parttime royals, living milliondollar lifestyles, trading from their royal name, making large sums of money from that while still taking money from the public purse. This is a whole thing and its not going to be over soon. Not at all, oprahs involved. Right. So there was word coming in that the couple actually consulted with oprah about how to handle this situation with their family. Oprah has since responded saying that she did not she denies it. You mentioned yesterday about do we have a stake in this or not . I think we do have a stake, weve got archie, who really is contributing to the diversity of the royal family. Muchneeded diversity. Talk about security and taxpayers . If we look into our own backyard, we dont have royalty but weve got government officials, exgovernment officials, who are getting lifetime security. Kmo has some things to say. Leave meghan and harry and archie alone, let them live meghan and harry and archie alone, let them live time for the mix on this friday.

President trump defending his decision to authorize that deadly drone strike on one of irans top commanders. At his First Campaign rally of the year, the president told supporters in toledo, ohio that general Qassem Soleimani was a blood thirsty terrorist, calling him the king of the roadside bomb. After saying soleimani was plotting to attack a u. S. Embassy in iraq, trump went even further. He was looking very seriously at our embassies and not just the embassy in baghdad. But we stopped him and we stopped him quickly and we stopped him cold. The president also blasted top democrats, hurling personal insults at House Speaker nancy pelosi and others. And after the house voted on a resolution to curtail his war powers, trump claimed democrats would have leaked the information to the media if he went to congress for approval. More now from abcs jonathan karl. Reporter one week after he ordered the attack on Qassem Soleimani, the president offered a new reason for killing him. We did it because he was looking to blow up our embassy. Reporter the president was asked what evidence he had that iran was trying to blow up the American Embassy in baghdad. Do you have more details . No, i think it was obvious. If you look at the protests, that was a totally organized plot. And you know who organized it, that man right now is not around any longer, okay . Reporter but several senators who were briefed on the intelligence that led the president to order the attack say there was no mention in the briefing of a plot to bomb the embassy. Democrats and at least a few republicans complained about the briefing, which was conducted by the president S National Security team. They had to leave after 75 minutes, while theyre in the process of telling us that we need to be good little boys and girls and run along and not debate this in public. I find that absolutely insane. I i think its unacceptable. Mr. President , im sure you saw mike lees comments, did you National Security team really say that it would be wrong for congress to debate military action on iran . Mike and rand paul disagreed because they want information that honestly i think is very hard to get. Its okay if the military wants to give it, but they didnt want to give it. The current resolution is adopted. Reporter the house approved a resolution requiring the president to get congressional approval for any future military action against iran that lasts longer than 30 days. Fight any foe, pay any price, keep the American People safe. But do not be frivolous and cavalier about how we decide to show strength. Would you go to congress to take further military action against iran . Would you seek congressional approval . It would all depend on the circumstance. I dont have to, and you shouldnt have to be able, you have to make splitsecond decisions sometimes. Sometimes you have to move very, very quickly. Reporter now that the house has passed a resolution calling for the president to get congressional approval for any sustained military action against iran, the senate must bring it up. That is expected to happen as early as next week. Unclear whether or not the Republicancontrolled Senate would also pass that measure. Jonathan karl, abc news, the white house. Thank you, jonathan. U. S. Intelligence officials now say its highly likely that an Iranian Missile brought down a ukrainian passenger jet near tehran. Take a look at this new video that was shot in the neighborhood of the last tracked position of the ukrainian plane. You see those flashes of lights there. The missile can be seen heading upwards before impact. Look at all of that. In another video posted by another person, the plane is seen in flames before it goes down. All 176 people on board died. All of them innocent civilians. Most of the victims were on their way to canada, where Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau is calling for a full and credible investigation. The families of the victims and all canadians want answers. I want answers. That means closure, transparency, accountability, and justice. And this government will not rest until we get that. The iranians deny claims that they shot down the jet and theyve invited the canadians, ukrainians, french, and the u. S. To take part in the investigation. Now irans official News Agency Says boeing experts will also be invited. And were learning more about some of those passengers who were on the plane, including a married couple heading home to ottawa after visiting family in iran. At the tehran airport, the husband learned his ticket had been invalidated by mistake, so he said goodbye to his wife as she boarded the jet, telling her hed find another flight. Just moments later, he heard that the jet had crashed. Horrible details there. In other news in washington, the standoff over President Trumps impeachment trial may be nearing an end. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is still demanding to know the terms of the trial, but she told reporters shell probably send the articles of impeachment to the senate soon.
