shrapnel into the screaming crowd. local media captures the moment people started running as they heard the 1st explosion go off. another glass nearby followed some minutes later. thousands were attending the ceremony honoring the prominent iranian general custom solely many killed in the us, drake, in 2020. the us says it has no role in this attack. and that is real, didn't either. it's too early, at least for us to be able to say what might have caused it. but i do want to address some of the irresponsible claims that i have seen circulate and say that number one, the united states was not involved in any way. and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous. and number 2, we have no reason to believe that israel was involved in its explosion. it's believed to be the deadliest attack in iran in over 40 years. there were reports of

a stampede that injured several people. as the tried to run away. the un responded with calls for accountability. the secretary general strongly comes via talk today on a memorial ceremony and carmen city and the stomach republic of iran, which reportedly killed more than 100 people, an injured many more. the secretary general costs for those responsible to be held accountable. 3 human t. ron has labeled the explosions as a terrorist attack. while iran supreme leader had told the human a vow to retaliate from a single harsh response to us as denied any involvement. earlier i asked alex if tanka, a ron expert are the middle east institute in washington dc. who could have carried out the blasts as well? to be honest, it's too early to point the finger at any one group. what we have seen

so far uh, in terms of a range and announcements. we've had the re minister of interior making the claim to the us and israel were involved, but they made this is sort of almost generic. it's almost a knee jerk reaction that you often hear from senior leaders without providing the evidence. as i said, it's a political statement, not reflecting any kind of serious investigation. one thing i do note of is that i least harmony to supreme leader in his statement, reacting to the bombings did not point the finger i the united states israel or anybody else for that matter. and i think that is probably a reflection of fact that the ringing authorities right now, a do not know who's behind it and be they don't know what their next step ought to be. all right, alex, but they didn't say the raining and government did a call it a terror attack and they did vive to respond harshly. so what form might that

response take them to? well, i mean, obviously we need to know who, who would have been behind it. it really quite, it would shape it arrives next steps. i mean, if it's, if it's extra entity like israel, that requires a different sort of calculations on the part of to around and say, a domestic of opponents of the originally bought these 2 bombings to they happened to the province of care mon, which is relatively in the southeast of the country, not far from the reigning border with pakistan and the province, a village of stock, which is next to care mon province is a region known for militancy, for organized crime. and at times even minutes and you had his city and to regime operative just 2 weeks ago or 11, your rainy the officers were killed by jo hodges group. so there are actually the entities inside of the runs borders that could have been behind it. but again, i want to go back to what i said, it's really early. iran has

a long list of domestic opponents and external opponents. it could be domestic, it could be external, it could be a combination of both. it. we have to wait and see. all right, despite what you're saying there, and this, these attacks did happen at a memorial for cast himself, remind me who was assassinated by the us 4 years ago. so do you think there is much significance in where the attacks took place to? oh absolutely, uh but you know, uh awesome. so the money as you point out why the size and aided by a trim and ministration 4 years ago. but you have many enemies. he had an amazing side of a variety of enemies in the region, including as we've discussed so far, the state of israel and i, me off of so the money country does. so the money about to eradicate from the face of the map. so yes, there's a symbolism here, no doubt about it. but i think it's too early a took to sort of make the conclusion because of what's happening in gaza and the

timing. this is somehow linked to iran's bigger regional planned costs. and so the money was the architect, i'll be rides forward, defense is supplying weapons and training to groups like how much is balance. so it might very well be that they are connected, but it could also be a case of opportunities in binding, rainy and opposition group in this case, most likely to jihad is that operating, the se, that have decades long track record of targeting uranian officials, to get on a bore you, but we just don't know right off to be able to conclusions yet. thanks her insights . alex alex with tank of from the middle east institute in washington dc. thank you . has bhalla and israel has continued to exchange rock afar a day after the killing of a hamas leader in the lebanese capital bay route. has paula blames israel for the attack, although it has remained unclaimed. israel generally refrains from commenting on strikes and other countries,

but officials have previously said they would target hamas leaders wherever they are. waiving the most flag protest is in ramallah voice. the support entangled this evening and the occupied westbank with a certain town of cell. a roommate or a high ranking most official was killed in a striking bay roots on tuesday. well, natalie got into cars is crazy, hysterical event new need. the preventative is israel field and that he and is experiencing a kind of defeat. oh, no, i'm in the mail. it knows full well. yeah, there's no victory for it. yeah, i'm that i so 90 got mean and decided la, a sallow rory was deputy to him. mazda is leda is male, hon. yeah. and the group's kaylee a's on we've has the law in lebanon since a raise assassination in the suburbs of a root israel and has the law has continued to fire at each other across the border,

an almost daily occurrence since israel's war we, tomas began the lebanese political party and military group is backed by ron and considered a terrorist organization by the us, germany and some sunni arab countries. israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the strike on a route, but less than a securities also said it was caused by an israeli drawing, has blah, has vowed to retaliate, calling it a serious assault on lab. and on the fact that while i get the enemy, he thinks of waging a war and 11 and, and they then say, well, we will fight without restoring tools without leaves, without really my eyes. and without restrictions. yes. well knows what i mean. he's rouse main ally, the us who said it was nursing homes before the blasting beverage said washington is now urging restraint to tape the wall contained just want to before we don't

want to see it. why beyond israel and am awesome again, we're going to keep working with partners in the region to prevent that from that. has the law has certified refrained from escalating beyond for discussions with these ro. visa tac in the house of lebanon has raised fees of an all out war. and these railey army says it's on high alert and ready for any scenario. donald trump has asked the us supreme court to intervene over ruling binding him from the primary pilots in the state of colorado. in december, the state supreme court disqualified trump as a presidential candidate over his role in the january 6. the sold on the us capital judge has ruled that his actions were a violation of the us. constitutions rarely used insurrection. pulse. all right, well for more on this, so i'm joined here in studio by d. w reporter, then dorman ben, great to have you here. so we're going to break this down because it's quite

complex. and so what is this interaction clause exactly? well, the terms opponents that hoping it's the kind of constitutional kryptonite to prevent him from ever taking office again. but speaking more literally it's the section 3 of the 14th amendment was passed off of the civil way back in 18. 68. it was intended at the time to stop the confederates. the rebels who lost the war, coming back and regaining office off there were betting us to government. and it's very simple, $0.22 as long essentially says that if you took an oath to uphold the constitution, you then participate in a rebellion in this direction against the government. you all disqualified from holding a holding office again, unless she was majority of congress as you can. and just in colorado, sprinkle and descend the rule that will happen on january 6th was an into an insurrection. what donald trump did that day if you recall, telling his support his go fight like hell before the, when he stormed the capital,

what he did, countries taking positive direction. so the quote said, going to this, the ministration. it took part because the president, that's what they ruled, and they said that for he shouldn't even be on the primary valid. all right, but tell us what are at donald trump and his lawyers now arguing well that throwing a lot of different elements of the world. firstly, they say interaction wasn't interaction, that's, it was a political process that spiraled became violent, got out of control. they're also arguing that even if it was an interaction, donald trump, himself wasn't involved. he just spoke at the event he, he just said things on, in the, in the us, the 1st amendment protects the rights free speech. and that saying that he shouldn't be prosecute on this ground. they're also on doing of the same time that okay, if it was means direction. and if you did take part, that still didn't matter. they're all going very legalistic rounds. that because this section of the member doesn't specifically say you called the president, if you take part in his direction, the adult from shouldn't be. if they don't, those grounds, there was making much broad kind of volumes with this thing that this is fundamentally not a question for colorado to the side. that is

a question that congress should be deciding on. and that the supreme court needs to tell colorado essentially no thought piece right has a savings as certainly very complex. then if you could, every briefly, what can we expect the supreme court to add the site? well, that is a huge question that everyone is wondering about right now. it is on press that question that this amendment has never come up in this way before the supreme court is also not a question that cuts so clearly on kind of normal, logical grounds. obviously there's a 63 conception, majority. 3 of those 6 were appointed by trump, but a lot of conservative legal scholars say this amendment is pretty clear. he should be as qualified if he took part in this direction. so what is certain is that this is a huge political question that whatever decision they make, we'll have a huge impact, randi election coming up. we will be keeping a close, i am not dw reporter bed, norman. let's take

a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. us court has started on seeing the identities of people linked to convicted sex traffic, or jeffrey epstein. over a 150 names of people mentioned a lawsuit by one of etc. and most prominent accusers were kept sealed for years. a ruling last one found no legal justification to keep them private enough. argentina's, national labor appeals court has dealt presidents have you had any like his 1st traditional staff by the court suspend the changes to labor laws that are part of the sweeping economic reforms. argentina's main trade union had challenged the changes saying they rode basic worker protections such as the right to strike and parental needs. and i'm finally scanned. the idea is no stranger to freezing temperatures in winter, but right now it's extremely frigid. there parts of northern sweden recorded there . coldest night night,
