as an unprecedented scene unfolds during a military parade. unidentified gunman opened fire during the parade at the start of sacred defense week it commemorates iranians who died during the eight year war with iraq in the one nine hundred eighty s. . while the wounded were being treated people were warned to get down a revolutionary guard spokesman says four men dressed in khaki uniforms and riding motorbikes are connected to the al i was e a group which is supported by saudi arabia. for couldn't resist. for people terrorists who had previously put their weapons to the area days before they hid their weapons then when people came to see the parade and gathered they grabbed their weapons and fired at the people with machine guns that. what came with it was just a mess forsakes it was in the middle of the parade we realized that the group wearing

fake military clothing who attacked our children from behind us and then fired on women and children that they fought completely blindly they went picking targets just firing. some more killed others captured when they come to launch an attack like this the i.r.g.c. in southwest and iran in and out of a populated region can back me that there has been and will and put out a plan in order to send a very strong message actually so there are delays sions to leave now and there are reasons to believe now that. this is been a sack masterminded by the united states and the saudis especially because the attack hillary a solid terrorists of all that was the u.s. supported by this all these you know have been recognized to been in charge of this attack the rare attack took place and cause islam province which borders iraq and has the largest ethnic arab community in iran the province was

a major battleground during the iran iraq war the obvious attack happened as president hassan rouhani was delivering a speech at the main anniversary parade in tehran he was briefed on the attack and continues his speech which it orating iran's position on its defense capabilities ronnie said they will continue to increase day by day and in africa as the investigation continues into the major breach of security dosage of ari al jazeera . trita parsi is a professor at georgetown university in washington he says a maybe some truth to the iranian accusations of american saudi and iraq involvement in the attack. the fact that they some of the europeans is also not particular surprise is ing since some of these separate story because asians are essentially headquartered in europe many of them being in london particularly this . separatist organization has been ducting activities in england for quite sometime

so that in itself is not surprising nor is it surprising that the iranians would be blaming or hinting at blame at the united states or the ribby and the u.a.e. what is perhaps a little bit different this time around is that there are circumstantial evidence that makes it much more difficult to dismiss the iraq plane accusations out of hand but i mean you have a scenario in which the secretary of the national security advisor of the trumpet mr alter wrote a memo that was released back in august two thousand and seventeen in which he specifically argued that the united states should be providing assistance to this specific movement and who is this done by the previous arabs you also have a scenario in which. from saudi arabia the crown prince did it say last year that he's going to take the fight into iran but you had an adviser to the u.a.e. crown prince saying that this was not a terrorist attack this is stated policy and that we will see more of that when

statements of this kind are being made it's much more difficult to say that the iran is or just automatically by reflex pointing their finger at the united states and some of its allies is in the region there seems to be some indications that there's a military and some these accusations in the us the woman who's accused president donald trump supreme court nominee of section assault has agreed to testify before a senate committee next week christine basie force has brett kavanaugh assaulted her at a party in one thousand nine hundred two he denies the allegations and so let's go live to john hendren in washington d.c. for us so john confirmation that christine afterward will testify against brett kavanaugh but quite a few details to work out right. that's right foley it was a nail biter of an end to a congressional game of chicken the committee chairman chuck grassley kept setting deadlines and conditions for christine blazin forward to meet she kept ignoring those deadlines and setting counter conditions the she wanted to be met and now

we're told that the woman who initially came out only anonymously to accuse brett kavanaugh of sexual assault thirty six years ago will now speak under the full glare of a congressional committee the senate judiciary committee and that will happen on thursday by agreement with both parties today there are some details that still have to be hashed out that will apparently happen on sunday when the two sides speak again but we are now told that they have agreed in principle both sides that this will happen on thursday now it's not exactly as she wanted it to happen she did want it to happen on thursday but you want to the questions to be asked by the senators themselves and she wanted to go second she wanted to speak after brett kavanaugh so she could. come she could come back what he had to say his version of events which is that nothing at all happened there the committee wanted this to happen on wednesday it is conceded that point but it also wants outside or staff counsel to be asking the questions that is likely because every man every

republican man on that committee is a male and they wanted a woman to be asking those questions because otherwise it would look pretty harsh for these men to be asking hard questions of an alleged sexual assault victim and they also wanted cavanagh to go second to be able to rebut her and they have come to an agreement on that but republicans seem to be standing completely behind kavanaugh mike pence the vice president of the united states thinks none of this matters he thinks cavanagh's nomination will go through this is what he had to say just today but honestly the way some democrats conducted themselves during this process is a disgrace. the president are confident that senate republicans will manage this confirmation properly with the up most respect for all concerned and i believe the judge brett kavanaugh will soon be justice brett kavanaugh and take his seat

on the supreme court of the united states of america. so the republicans fully back in kavanagh how might the testimony of john potentially influence the confirmation . well that depends on what is said in the hearing room but it's been set up for a fiery confrontation between the two it sounds a little bit like the clarence thomas hearings in one thousand nine hundred one when anita hill accused him of sexual assault but in that case there was an f.b.i. investigation to establish the facts and there were other witnesses that won't happen here at least not under the current terms there will be kavanagh's testimony and her testimony and then if the committee has its way it will eventually go on to simply vote so it's a he said she said situation president trump has already tweeted that if this really happened thirty six years ago she would have reported it mitch mcconnell the senate republican leader has said that kavanagh will be the next u.s. supreme court justice but if this gets delayed the democrats have hopes because of

the midterm elections are coming up in november and they hope that if they can delay this process maybe kill the cabin on nomination that they will gain control of this nomination after that but that doesn't have until january and there's a lot of time between now and then foley indeed thank you very much for that john hendren in washington for us as saying in the u.s. siblings of a republican congressman running for reelection in the state of arizona have launched a t.v. ad against their brother paul's absolutely not working for his district and he's not listening to you and he's doesn't have your interests at heart my name is tim go sorry david ghosts or joan go sarcastic go star jennifer go sour six of congressman paul go sox nine sibling star in the scathing ad which endorses his democratic rival david brill go cyrus how the arizona c since twenty seven the ultra conservative politician has a history of controversial remarks and it's not the first time his siblings have spoken out against him. u.s. cable giant comcast has outbids rupert murdoch's fox in a blind auction for u.k.
