a minute fraction but 1980's but this is a more recent version of it it operates all over the world it's a very good airplane it's manufactured. it's a combination of italian and french design and manufacture so it's a very well tested airplane the. iran are some of the domestic airline of of iran well it flies a lot in iran is a very mountainous country applies a lot in difficult terrain so it is more exposed to risk just by virtue of the kind of country that iran it is what the. the authorities in iran have to do is to find the black boxes the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder which will probably be working despite the fact that this

is not directly responding to the to the verifications by the intelligence community his own intelligence community not only as to what happened in two thousand and sixteen elections but also the twenty eight thousand elections in two thousand and twenty elections warning that there's an ongoing dissin for mission campaign but also he is he in his own national security advisor h r mcmaster yesterday in munich said that it was an incontrovertibly that there was russian interference the president punted off that and said well mcmaster neglected to mention that there was no proof that that it was disprove that there was any collusion between the campaign and the russians and one time since wednesday that means some quite strong moving calls by victims and survivors for stricter gun control in the us how has this been received. well

there is a there was really impassioned cry from participants in a rally in parklane florida including one of the victims and there is now a call for a nationwide march march twenty fourth to demand some kind of further gun control but the blame continues the president as you know as you mentioned. cast blame on the f.b.i. for failing to follow up on tips about the the shooter while there is now there are now reports that the federal of the florida agencies the child services child welfare agency which did investigate the worrisome behavior of the shooter the judge had to be a low level risk and dismissed basically dismissed the warnings from his family members that he had natural attachment or attraction to guns and white supremacy messages. thank you very much so to come on
