disposal including at the u.n. and with both the foreign minister and the president being there they can. pursue a rather aggressive line and try to find ways to be able to find some justice using those legal avenues which ultimately would be much better for everyone because any type of a military confrontation on a large scale in the region would leave everyone in the region losers trita parsi always a pleasure to talk to you thank you for joining us today thank you for having me. mentioned earlier there was a tweet there's always a tweet and there is evidence that something awful to this one of them so this one has started thousands of people talking about it and there have been tweets about this attack and accusations about who did it and those are flying back and forth but there is a particular tweet which aggravated things even more it's from this men a high profile immorality professor of political science who has advised mohammed bin zayed the crown prince of abu dhabi he wrote on twitter that saying that ten
12:01 am
soldiers were killed on a military parade in the iranian city of a has attacking a military target he says is not a terrorist act moving the battle deep inside iran is a deliberate choice and will increase in the next phase to that a man tweeted the professor asking him if he could define terrorism to which he replied saying terrorism is a military action against a civilian target to achieve a political purpose this exchange incited direct responses from iranian officials on twitter and were picked up by media outlets across the middle east mohsin rezaei a member of the advisory council of the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini replied in a direct tweet saying that the treacherous and naive advisor of abu dhabi's crown prince has just confirmed foreign intervention in the incident a clear breach of and last international law he says and then we had another tweet
12:02 am
from the chairman of the city council of to hit on most unrest jenny saying that if a terrorist attack on a military parade in the presence of unarmed civilians is justified military action than attacking military camps in abu dhabi is more than justified so much is happening online on that front and we want to know what you think especially if you are in iran or the u.a.e. you can share your opinion with us with our hash tag. things just got a quick footnote on. before we get to some of those comments this is related to the return of sanctions. after the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal part of that fallout is the suspension of international flights now the last british airways flight has taken off from teheran also air france kalen stopped flying to iran on tuesday it's is the service is currently not commercially viable however german airline love tonsils as it has no plans to stop flying to teheran and other known european airlines they include turkish emirates and qatar are planning to keep flying the route too so that's just
12:03 am
a. little development. to do with u.s. sanctions being reimposed. thank you for getting in touch this is what could a few comments and they quite well just describe them as quite passionate i think people feel quite strongly about the stories i'm not asserting or read all of that out but do keep we've got some constructive thoughts questions for our correspondents and guests remember you can send them in if you're not using twitter at a.j. english you can watch the live stream at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera you can comment not just amongst yourselves but with a summer a producer who's looking for your comments in that number plus one seven four five one triple one four nine messaging apps telegram and whatsapp both up and running there. now we're going to go to the maldives the results of sunday's presidential election trickling in but the opposition says actually it's just a foregone conclusion president abella you mean is expected to be reelected to a second five year term critics accuse him of one man rule in the indian ocean
12:04 am
islands in a stifling dissent by jailing potential rivals now we have a map of the maltese on yesterday's good but really it's just a drop in the ocean almost literally so i thought i'd get the google map out today because it's quite interesting just having a look at the maldives that's the main island of the capital one of the most overcrowded places on earth look at that the airport is on a separate on and it is you've got to catch a boat to get to mali and then you just see look at the logistics involved in a lot of these islands around and habited with the logistics of putting together an election for all these little islands or all in the indian ocean it's a small place but a big political story we're going to have analysis on the elections in a moment but we're going to start with this report from alex to tell pulis. it was all smiles was president abdullah i mean and his main rival ibrahim mohammad sali cost the balance and some things poll. here means critics accuse him of acting
12:05 am
as a strongman imprisoning exalting political rivals the election lacking transparency there is no credible election observers in maldives at the moment because all the democracy democratic countries as well the. european union decided that the government had not been obliging that the government had not been doing requesting what they have requested to do the right of the elections that is to. free the party does. by supreme court of february first but none of these things happened so they decided that they would not absolve this election and give any credibility to this election and those critics questioning because of the election would be free and fair so they were proved right and stuff today the eve of the poll security police raided the headquarters of the main opposition the mole deaves democratic party this latest crackdown to start with the only viable alternative to president putin progressive
12:06 am
party doesn't sign is a position supporters they say the election was a referendum over the multis continues to slide towards authoritarianism and even the believe undismayed had been forced to come here i did not mean that was you can you can't think that it was absolutely anything yeah because they want to me having been able to change their mind to because they believe that maybe they didn't see me it's not me and said that me looking voters in the cup tamale queue to cause that ballot so i'm cautiously optimistic that change is still possible and this is going to take just my nights and i'm going to vote and i'm hoping that we have a free and fair election. there are only a quarter million registered voters in the mold to use your position say the. big to reach the president and his reelection for another five years is a fulcrum. likes to talk to zero. here's i'm in rashid now advocacy and communications manager for transparency
12:07 am
dave's joining us from ali nice to have you with us i know you can't comment on the polls as such or any which way they're leaning but let's talk about the whole process was have you seen today what have you heard today about the actual electoral process going on. there is a statement early this morning come in name the. commenting on the election process and what our comment was that the opening of course was a smoke we were to it during the course of the day there were a number of issues in the electoral process namely the he was along people were waiting in line on every so two or three hours at least to walk across their ballots and election commission extended the war thing from. four pm to seven pm so this is one of the main things that were found and again the polls caused at seven pm now it's eight nineteen pm when one of the main issues that one of the
12:08 am
reports of inconsistency is counting process so this is in a nutshell what's happening what's been happening on polling day what is in a consistent lead or a to interrupt you needed inconsistences in polling what does that actually mean. it means that the elections commission is employing different methods of counting at different polling stations. were trained to not go each separate but with paper but bundled them together before showing them to the observers and party agents however the. because the civil society organizations media organizations and the opposition babied with the election commission and they agreed to revert back to the previous elections counting process which were reported which was commented as . your biased and transparent by international and domestic election observers and so the election commission agreed to and we were back to the two thousand and
12:09 am
thirteen counting process but the officials were trained to count in a different manner so what with the thing is that some of the oprah show some of the. votes accounting according to the twenty per team intelligent process and some officials are counting according to the process that they were trained on they see a right so this is the inconsistency in some in some polling station saying they will showing the ballots each of those at a separate list whereas in some other voting stations we are not seeing this we are not seeing that the i'm. showing i meet about pippa separates me that is he was concerned in the motives because the current incumbent yami in one by a difference of six thousand twenty two warts on late in the twenty thirteen elections and so it was meant in the most but even elections we have an electric the by the two hundred sixty two thousand so it was scary a lot of a lot of why the military action more broadly that was the big concern not about
12:10 am
everything that happened before the election the fact that a potential opposition players were taken out of play that were put in jail i went into exile and that it was for your fair in the first place. one of the one of the key question some we are faced as an observer group is whether the the elections is free and fair and whether it's. election day processes are transparent for best what you consider the elections free and our response to that has always been that there are a number from a number of concerning their weapons and the production and marmont including abuse of step resources a lack of independence of the elections commission the stiffening of media and if you can pose a core rights like a company supposed to go in and marmont. this basically sets up a system where the incumbent the i'm playing field is. picked in favor of the incumbent this makes it very hard for the opposition to campaign to
12:11 am
compete on an equal footing with those who don't know the goal of the opposition leader as leaders of the opposition parties are in jail. the preferred can be that for none of the bigger political parties was able to contest the elections in twenty eight in and and and the president has abused the authority of the state and used pay for sources to campaign and this means that it has been a it has been a struggle for the position to campaign so considering the problems in the prediction environment even if the election date so went very well it would be very hard to say it's a three and fair election impact on the game the problem the usually it's not the election day that decides the outcome of an election in the maldives it's open the . oh looks like we just lost our connection there it's frozen in place you know that was an interstate from transparency multi there is lots of extra days content
12:12 am
on zero dot com includes this opinion piece from as him to hear his from the university of western australia talking about the choice between as he put it to bad options and he said there is well here it is currently little but the florida electoral process and this vote would change the current tendencies towards an authoritarian relapse is how he described it have a read for yourself the rise and fall of a muslim democracy is in the opinion section at al-jazeera dot com. this is the news great if you with us on facebook lined up on the story for magic bus coming up for you on the consequences of having the wrong passport in the united states and then later india's ambitious plan to deliver universal health care to half a million people we're looking at moti care in just a moment. hello
12:13 am
again we're here cross we are seeing really up to the north some clouds passing across back who over to the other side of the caspian sea now over the next few days the heavy rain will actually be down towards the south tehran you may see some showers potentially heavy in the afternoons temperature high thirty degrees few there and then as we go towards tuesday a little bit cooler but down towards quite city we do expect to see about forty two and your forecast well we did see quite a few clouds here across much of the among coast of the last few days those are starting to edge way but down towards the law the clouds continue to remain and we are going to see about twenty eight degrees up towards doha seasonable for us where the temps are there of about thirty nine and riyadh we do expect to see your high at about forty and as we make our way down here towards parts of africa we are going to be seeing really a change for parts of cape town we are seeing some better weather here most of the clouds remain up here towards the north really affecting durban over the last call days with rain showers in play and those are going to continue maybe some clouds as
12:14 am
well but down here towards cape town better conditions as i said one thousand degrees for you there but as we go towards tuesday a front starts to slip a little bit more towards the north out of the atlantic and that is going to bring plates clouds as well with the temps are there about sixteen degrees. were. i have didn't get it almost my entire professional life to the bench and fight against corruption and what i have heard is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this.
12:15 am
nominate your own version of your own child the light on what they do and to of not shine a light on your hero with your nomination for the international space award two thousand and eighteen for more information go to ace award dot com.
12:16 am
and i'm from al jazeera dot com and what's trending as well back to iran attack story twenty four hours later still very much. in the spotlight and al-jazeera dot com another cruel step u.s. rights. immigration rules like another story that doesn't go away and i keep your eye on that is the bit when village in the occupied territories is right is now giving the palestinians eight days to leave that before it is demolished to be keeping a close eye on that story and plenty more for you. to see red dot com. we're going to talk break that now which functionally frankly grows more complicated by the wait but our focus this week is britain's opposition labor party which is
12:17 am
holding its annual conference and is even eyeing up the possibility of a snap election in november we're going to have the conference in liverpool shortly but i want to rewind the clock let's have a look back at break that you got to go right back to june of two thousand and sixteen if you can remember back when the u.k. voted to leave the european union it was close the margin was fifty two percent in favor forty eight percent against nine months later and the process of leaving. officially begun prime minister to resign may she triggered what's known as article fifty it's set a leaving date of march the twenty ninth of next year twenty nineteen but since then it is not going well lots of negotiations which of amounted to very little other than the so-called check his agreement to break that blueprint if you like from me and her government which involved keeping some e.u. arrangements things like ease of trade but dropping others like movement of people you didn't like to call it cherry picking and rejected the plan of a summit in salzburg just last week in what was widely seen as public humiliation
12:18 am
for the u.k. prime minister just briefly looking ahead you've got the conservative party conference at the end of the month to reason male have to talk tough about europe for her domestic audience but also has to appease the right wing of her party who favor cutting ties with europe more drastically and there was also another e.u. break summit happening in october which the european council president donald tusk has already labeled the moment of truth for the negotiations now that's just a basic run through a lot more things to think about as you'll see in this in for a graphic now from al-jazeera dot com think about this financial services trade security immigration not to mention the border between arland in northern ireland which after a break that effectively becomes a border between the u.k. and the e.u. it is currently open with no checkpoints in the a uses that must remain on changed after briggs it and that failure over the border may may no overall break that deal but as we said right now the focus is on the opposition labor party there is talk
12:19 am
within the party and its supporters of perhaps desire for a second brags that referendum and labor leader jeremy coleman says he will be acting on what the party faithful want to himself prefers the idea of another general election. this government doesn't seem very strong it is looking into directions at the same time the one hand a trade deal with the usa in the other hand some kind of relationship with europe and we could well be looking towards a general election and you know what we're ready for our preference would be for a general election and we can and negotiate our future relationships with europe but let's see what comes out of conference so off we go to liverpool in the u.k. paul brennan is there in the wind at the labor party conference hi paul do you think we will get some sort of clarity by the end of this conference of at least where the opposition stands as far as break that goes. if you're looking for clarity you may be disappointed the nature of the way that the debate is going to go on at the labor party conference means that the motion on
12:20 am
brecht is going to be what's called a composite motion you going to have thirty different input from lots of different constituency parties they're going to all put their idea is in the executives going to come up with a kind of motion that he's not being referenced to many of them and on that basis it may be that the final motion that comes forward on the possibility of a second referendum for example on whatever deal comes from brussels or from the negative situations with brussels may be something of a fudge that doesn't tie the hands of the leadership too much certainly i suspect that might be what the leader of the labor leadership is hoping for they want to be able to keep their options open because jeremy coleman is a well known euro skeptic despite the fact that the leadership position has evolved over the last twenty four hours with the labor leadership saying that they will abide by whatever the members vote here at the conference in liverpool now joining me is that's
12:21 am
a she's an economist with the progressive economy corm that puts advice forward to the labor party isn't it that's the best way of describing it as they're approaching these crucial months on the dealings with europe and the potential for brics it's what is the advice that you're putting forward and you and your colleagues well i we want to say that it's actually in response. to be if you like since you know the hands and waiting for the tory i teach anything to play it really thin full can feel a bit to eat not just the party but all to the nation and the nation is confused the nation is angry but the fact is that i think is the problem the nation is facing it's not the program in action is facing its stary teeth economic policies that impact one percent and neglect the ninety nine percent. and lay bets that eat that those people that feel so dissatisfied with the nature of our department and progressive direction and not just be looking and caring about their own
12:22 am
ideological views are to take what effect is it that. of the difficulty that the labor party has another way to get to granular because with a degree in some but for example the issue of bricks that is totally overshadowed the proceedings that have been going on conference today but they were actually announced some really quite interesting and important economic policies for example representation of workers on boards the attacks on second homes these kind of economic policies are being totally overshadowed by the debate as a proxy and if the labor leadership insists on the like of which i'm trying to suppress the great debate to watch iran of the need for a second referendum for so long will that really good policy. and that is a problem and it's a we it's a big ship you know that to happen. given what you just said a weakness of leadership do you think that labor is ready for a general election they say they are they say they want to be considered as
12:23 am
a good government in waiting but it seems that there are intrinsic weaknesses in the current position but i'm no doubt in my mind that they're ready for government and i doubt that they would make a government that would actually meet the needs of the british people and addressed the shop and the horror if you like of the stereotype which is that which is but in my view what led to correct things. that the question is that if they don't do with the question of the second referendum taking a leadership role on the question of remaining in your in mind there are only two choices he's only going to be a hard break that will remain there is no suffering state that will get through the parliament and so he got in between and now that we're going to and we will remain and we will remain to transform europe not that we will remain. to accept things as they are and pensive thank you very much indeed for joining us i mean the permutations are intensely complex there are so many domino is that what you hold
12:24 am
together but the fact is that the labor party here is trying their best to put it to the country that they aren't they already there are in a position to govern should they be called upon wouldn't want to be playing dominoes in that wind out there in liverpool thank you paul brennan up the u.k. labor party conference now we have been hearing about this next story for a while and finally india's prime minister narendra modi has launched his ambitious new health care plan a scheme that will bring free health insurance to india's poor as they call it modi care it's dubbed that anyway it means half a billion people will get access to health care we're talking just on the heart of india's more than one point three billion people india actually spends only one percent of g.d.p. on public health it is among the world's lowest so now federal and state governments need to step up to fund this scheme critics though say the plan was launched in a hurry for political gain national elections early next year in india and they are warning it could even collapse within
12:25 am
a year if it is poorly implemented leader how is it being implemented online you've got to reach those awful billion people you know or seems all of half million people plus are tweeting about this as prime minister narendra modi it's normally trending and yeah but today it's all about this new health care program and as we were saying it is the largest in the world the government is using the hash tag p m j and modi care to share more information about the plan they've launched a full on twitter campaign to share videos like this and to get that message out across india thousands of others are tweeting their reaction to the plan here's what some of you had to say. he was. not trying to be made. by what you believe it is he was probably a good goal. for me is that he would pay any. heed to all of this keep it.
12:26 am
short of the great job. that obamacare is in serious trouble the only one pilot scheme has had difficulty getting even seven hospitals and. a large city in central india in the you know what if you launch a pilot project it found it difficult to even get one percent of beneficiaries i'm suggesting a deep divide between supply and demand while these militias plans to ensure fifty crore indians almost half a billion seems and vicious and in its prospects at least to me seem rather grim so far just look for think everything goes fine and i believe this is a very big initiative might is gone and the only challenge i can see is about cutting heads we haven't got to sit in that country but i believe this going to be second in the coming year lots of elections this execution i believe does want to work fine so thought it was
12:27 am
a good school thank you thank you for sending in all those videos well here in india let us know you think do you think this plan is going to fail or function or hash tag as always right there. thanks they always good response we get on stories from india we're going to london now down talk to there be a shy man who is the head of politics and international relations department at the university of westminster nice to have you with us the idea is brilliant obviously bringing health care to so many people paying for it just seems to be the problem and i mean india's already just spending so little on healthcare. it is i don't think it's simply about who will pay for it or how will they pay for it the reality of the government for the last four years has not invest in public sector in terms of held for modi to come up with a scheme that looks ambitious and out of your in a people said it's an ambitious plan this is a strategy he all would want to want to portray himself as a strong leader with ambitious plans and if they feel somehow it's he's not at
12:28 am
fault someone else is at fault for the whole idea behind this campaign is to give the impression that he is again back caring for the poor people but the reality than last four years the government have invested very little in public sector in terms of health why why have they not i mean health care is such a fundamental thing in any country why is there not in the spending on this india like many other developing countries they use nationalism and they use and the minority of them they use various ideas essentially to gain power by sidelining the poor but also speaking in their name now why has this government or the previous government by have they not spent much on public in public spending on health the reality is because they don't make it into an electoral issue now with more the of course in power now what we have seen is every year he comes over to one side the grand scheme it could be on such a part it which is clean india and of that i would make in india so basically manufacture in india that kind of slogans but in reality none of them work but the
12:29 am
media laughs up and of course you're going to big corporations big companies that also control libya siding with more they giving the impression that with a strong leader and if only comes back to power once again which is likely maybe after twenty nineteen then he will implement all those things properly so in a way this is a good strategy a good p.r. it faith we heard from some people obviously who got in touch with what do you think levels of awareness are like we're talking about half a billion people we're talking about a huge country we're talking about people who aren't necessarily connected online do you think there's enough awareness about the whole scheme. again in my own reading and more now on our list is of course no not at all and again in this case you have to understand more detail b.g.p. they don't really want people to be aware of this project what they wanted of course to capture the media they want to have media debates around it until yesterday the key trend in india on twitter was not about this scheme it was about something called maida shorthair means my prime minister peeve and that they were
12:30 am
doing because of course there's a whole scandal around file a particular arms deal with the fronts so we have to be aware that a lot of these schemes are not there because they're meant to help poor they might help some poor hopefully that but they're meant to again capture media and they're meant to essentially a copy of the political space in reality when you look at this it won't there's not much plan to invest in public sector in health it's more about private sector providing through thirteen forms of insurance health care to people in the five lakh rupees which your own six thousand or so sorry seven thousand us dollars is not a lot in fact my mother was in hospital last month in the same city where more they gave a speech and within ten day of the bill went up to around twelve thousand dollars in taxes it's not enough the way in which private sector health care in india is out of control so then politically speaking is it going to be helpful for prime minister modi critics are saying that this is all being rushed through because the elections are in a few months time do you think it actually will be helping him politically. in my
12:31 am
reading it might help them simply because of course your work only eight months they would say that they're still implementing and any one of more than it is appalling from all poor people getting health care then that since it might work for them but it would not work in terms of the poor people overwhelmingly wanting for more they because they're getting the help because most of the would not be aware or if they go from villages to cities they'll find it very inhospitable the hot buttons are not helping them out but more likely to help through in terms of the image building which is more dear indulges in so we have to remember that this is the premise of that in with the most heavily in building image of a strong leader and if support base is not rule it's not poor people but flooded the upper middle class and they seem to like him to be such an interesting topic to talk about i'm glad you could join us thank you. of course when you talk about public health care britain it's n.h.s. is often held up as the gold standard if you search for n.h.s. seventieth around zero can you can watch this video report from paul brennan
12:32 am
actually great explainer on why the n.h.s. is so celebrated in its seventieth year but also the challenges it still faces just like india with funding let's take a look briefly at some other stories making news around the world and the philippines is temporarily suspended all quarrying operations across the country after two mining science were hit by separate landslides within a week the relatives of those who perished say that is far from enough jamilah undergone is there with. a city weighed down by three bodies continue to pile up in mortuaries here and now go and many more are expected so send for wheat is grieving for her husband. like so many others here he died with the landslide buried alive in their home she doesn't know how her family will survive. morning i need that. i'm left with eleven children to feed how
12:33 am
will i send them to school we lost our home our cattle we have nothing not even a plate on the. monsoon rain sugar the massive landslide early on thursday morning at least thirty homes and eighty people were buried as the mountain collapsed taking with it stone querrey where many worked the devastation so widespread it wiped out entire families. business though. this is the company a family. father mother and children all died in the landslide their casket our coverage because we were told that some of their bodyguards have already been dismembered. many of the residents who live in the area also work for the company now they feel they say that the price they had to clean was to. boeing it was hard to see them like that all of them were taken away by one of the
12:34 am
kids had not yet been found it is very painful. for years filipinos living here have been calling on the government to stop carrying operations but they say their appeals were ignored their story is a typical one in this country. those who are impoverished are voiceless in the face of powerful influential businesses. the philippine government to sprawl missed to help meet their emergency needs and this ordered a temporary halt of quarrying operations nationwide for fifteen days grieving relatives say the quarry ban is simply not enough when they want is justice. jim duggan al-jazeera not a city stable province and just feel. there is more rain expected in tunis here we
12:35 am
have a fighting killed at least four people now many families have no shelter in the northeast region of the borough deep water has all roads and rail links from the region to the capital tunis and israel has given people living in a palestinian village an ultimatum to tear down their homes or they'll be demolished by october first early this month the supreme court approves the demolition of the bed when village of qana lamarr in the occupied west bank israel plans on using the land to build more illegal settlements and pope francis has celebrated sunday mass in the few anywhere he's warned against what he called the rebirth of initiates and semitic attitudes and through and is centuries old jewish community was nearly wiped out by hit the streets during the second world war he also paid tribute to lithuanians who were tortured deported and killed during five decades of soviet occupation. or that's your news in brief we're going off the grid now with leo to kenya yeah so there's nothing like trying to walk in someone else's
12:36 am
shoes but earlier on sunday hundreds of people in nairobi kenya marched several kilometers to raise awareness for what it's like for refugees who are fleeing conflict and crossing into kenya it's called step for safety and it's meant to help transform public perceptions of the twenty four million africans who were forced to flee their homes because of conflict or persecution we spoke to some of those who went walking and asked them why they did it. more than four hundred sixty thousand with these in kenya many of them walked to come to. here. to walk that we did today was an. experience where i'm told social solidarity the good thing about human nature is that we were born to help each other and i think that somewhere along the line some of us may have forgotten it just caught up in our life but when we were given the reminder it's just nice to see how people come
12:37 am
forth and really you know step up and do help we're so lucky to live in a city such as nairobi where we have everything and what was what was really important for me as i took my children and they were able to see the registration process the little bit of food that refugees get upon arrival they're able to walk through a tent where more than ten people live and to see you know the buckets they use for water and the very very little belongings that they're able to take with them and it's so so allowed on a personal level for my family to see the work that i do. and there are more displaced people this year around the world than ever before and africa is home to most of them there are more than twenty four million who've been forcibly displaced in the continent most of the internally displaced people and refugees are from somalia south sudan and the democratic republic of congo now you can follow the

expected comments from the iranian revolutionary guard what might this suggest about iran's response to what has happened. now we've seen civilian and military leaders alike mario come out in a sort of chorus of condemnation over the attack and have come out in very aggressive tones of demanding justice calling for revenge but what we've heard the iranian revolutionary guard corps say is very significant just to give you a sense of what exactly this parade was it was commemorating the iran iraq war that started shortly after the revolution in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and the i.r.g.c. had a pivotal role to play in iran's defense in that conflict so the attackers knew the symbolism of their chosen target very well and since so many of those that were among the casualties in this attack were revolutionary guard of volunteers and
12:53 am
officers and since they occupy such a high status in many segments of iranian society this attack for many iranian communities is very personal so what we're hearing from the revolutionary guard is that they will carry out a swift and violent response and that is something unique normally when iran or its assets abroad. if you will come under any kind of political or military attack what we hear from officials military and civilian is usually that iran will respond with appropriate measures at a time that iranians iranian officials deem fit but in this case one and all have said that they intend on responding severely and soon and so that certainly does signal that this is not over that we have not heard the last from the iranians with regards to this attack and we are waiting to hear from the supreme leader himself he's made statements but we have heard no speeches yet but we have heard from
12:54 am
sources close to the government that the supreme leader is very angry about this attack he wants to find those responsible not just the attackers themselves of the groups that were working with them but also. as many iranians here feel that the government sponsors of separatist groups within iranian territory and saying competing power centers in iran we know but as you say it is the supremum leader that has the final word on all of these matters is what taubes we huddle from those or at least those closest to him so far on this. well in situations like this certainly civilian the military leaders on the civilian side. hardliners liberals opposition members you know all of those differences get set aside and they really have closed ranks and everybody is definitely singing from the same hymn sheet an attack of this kind on a revolutionary guard parade directly against members of the very highly.

valued organization within the iranian governing structure this is simply unacceptable to all segments of of the governing class and as such the supreme leader has put out a statement you know he's expressed condolences for those that were killed but it's called for an investigation to find out exactly who was behind this we spoke to some someone earlier today a former iranian diplomat who said that the supreme leader's anger is is is expected to take on some kind of action on the ground he says that if it is if it is if an investigation finds that governments in the region were responsible then it is very reasonable to expect iran to take some kind of action not just political not just diplomatic but operational security operational on the ground are the words that he used thank you very much same bus ravi and ron. now the last
