president donald trump who said iran made a very big mistake well we've now heard from the iranian foreign minister mohammed who has tweeted that the united states is lying over its train being hit by iran in national waters as saying that terror on will take the matter to the united nations i'll be back in a couple minutes with more on that and the rest of days news. dot com is a website and a company it's part of. sri lanka's easter sunday bombings reverberated around the world with religious and

but again on that blog this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up on the program the british government is found to have broken the law or in the way it sold weapons to saudi arabia in the case of the war in yemen. she's being paying in pyongyang the chinese leader says the world hopes that north korea and the united states can hold successful talks. a blow to venezuela's opposition leader as some of his representatives are accused of corruption. so then u.s. president donald trump says iran has made in his words a very big mistake by shooting down an american drone it happened early on thursday but the 2 countries are disputing exactly what happened the u.s. military says a surface to air missile was fired at the unmanned aircraft in international airspace over the strait of hormuz it's believed the train was being used for high

altitude surveillance but iran's revolutionary guard says the drone violated iranian airspace over the homes gun province so they were well within their rights to attack it or not long ago iran's foreign minister fired these remarks off on twitter the u.s. wages economic terrorism on iran he said it's conducted covert action against us and now encroaches on our territory we do not seek war but will zealously defend our skies and land and waters will take this new aggression to the u.n. and show that the u.s. is lying about international waters well we'll hear more from tehran shortly but 1st let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly halkett in washington so kimberly donald trump is spoken in 6 straight shooting words. as we have often heard from the president he doesn't mess around on social media when he's trying to send a message to a u.s. adversary this is no exception the last couple of hours tweeting

a very simple message to iran saying iran made a very big mistake now we're looking for the president to elaborate on what he means by that is he considering some sort of military response it's very unclear and that tweet is somewhat vague but he is expected to meet the canadian prime minister justin trudeau in the next half hour or so he's expected the canadian prime minister to arrive any moment you may see his car drive behind me as we're talking but there's no question that this is an escalating volatile situation between the united states and iran the u.s. central command saying that this is an unprovoked attack on a u.s. surveillance asset in international airspace i reached out to the national security council to get its comments on what more there was in terms of response from the white house they would not answer directly only saying this that the national security advisor john bolton is set to travel to meet with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on june 23rd to discuss regional security certainly the

white house trying to give the appearance of of war planning whether or not that is exactly the case because it is unclear given the president's statements in recent days well his tweet was very strong he's also in recent days downplayed the escalation or any sort of military response it's left many in the united states very confused added to that there is the question about the deployment of the troops that was announced just on monday the fact that the u.s. president sent such a small number just 1000 so many people would ask what impact that would have these are all questions that are to be posed to the president in the coming hour when the white house pool will meet in the oval office where hopefully we'll get further clarity on what the president expects to do moving forward in light of his very strong tweet that iran has made a very big mistake you're right in the meantime habib any further reaction from

capitol hill about the incident. well there's been nervousness for quite some time nic with regard to what the administration has been doing in fact there is concern that this is sort of a reckless march to war and caught a direct military confrontation between the united states and iran and fresh in the minds of many senators on capitol hill is of course 2003 in the invasion of iraq which was led in faulty intelligence because the administration has continued to cite this concern and threat from iran most recently citing the intelligence that very grainy video that they say shows that iran was responsible for the attack on 2 tankers in the gulf of oman something that the senator said i've said is not in any way conclusive so there is this fear that there are very hawkish members of the trumpet ministration specifically the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh and also the national security advisor john

bolton who we should point out is again planning to go to israel on june 23rd to meet with the israeli prime minister there is this fear that they are asking late in things even as the president at times has dragged his heel in terms of any sort of confrontation with iran could be things we want to leave the time being can we hope that the white house well let's get the view from tehran no dual should you barri has this report. according to iran's revolutionary guards they say that this drone took off from a u.s. air base in the south of the persian gulf where it made its way towards iran now they say that this device allegedly turned off all detection devices while it was making its way towards iranian airspace and shortly after 4 am local time at 45 exactly the iranians shot this drone down now this comes as the head of iran's revolutionary guard has been speaking at a scheduled events in western iran let's hear what he had to say i know you're

joining. we don't want to engage in any war but we're fully prepared for war today's incident was a clear sign that we will protect old borders iran's borders are already in the careful we have experienced we have sent a clear and message the drone had violated our borders. reaction has been coming in swift the spokesperson for iran's foreign ministry has said that this is an act of aggression and it will be noted and responded to accordingly we've also been hearing from a certain if you m.p.'s who said that they think this should go to the united nations that the iranians should complain to that governing body within the united nations and also it comes as tensions are high in this region the united states withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear agreement and really in stating some sanctions on iran has had the iranian officials saying that they are waging economic terrorism on iran and the recent escalation of tensions in this region is at it as

a direct result of those policies. judges in britain who ruled that government leaders who broke the law by allowing weapons sales to saudi arabia activists went to the court of appeal to argue that there was a clear risk that weapons used in the war in yemen violated human rights rules tens of thousands of yemenis have been killed in the south the u.a.e. led will now in its 5th year britain's prime minister to resign is considering an appeal against what she calls the disappointing ruling. of britain's international trade sector he says no new licenses will be issued to sell saudi arms for now. as i said earlier we disagree with the judgment and the secret mission to appeal alongside this we are carefully considering the implications of the judgment for decision making while we do this we will not grant any new licenses for export to saudi arabia and its coalition partners which might be used in the conflict in

yemen. well let's hear now from the has more from outside the court of appeals in london. this is very much being seen as a partial victory for campaign groups sort of for the long and hard for this well they're hoping for eventually is a total ban on all british arms sales to saudi but that may be some way off yet the british government in response to this ruling has decided to freeze all pending arms sales to saudi looks into it although the british government has said that it will challenge this ruling the courts has not what's in any way. the british government to completely suspend licensing sales of weapons to saudi what it has ruled upon is that it was a lawful for the british government to grant these licenses of weapons sales to saudi arabia knowing that these weapons were potentially end up in yemen and used potentially against civilian populations there we know that many tens of thousands of civilians in yemen have been directly affected by the saudi led

a bombing campaign over the past few years the british government has license sick . $1000000000.00 worth of sales of weapons to saudi since the start of the war in march 2015 there has been growing scrutiny growing momentum publicly for the british government to do more to control the flow of weapons from the u.k. to saudi but of course lucrative deals are in the pipeline a significant section of the british economy is dependent on saudi going ahead i'm buying british weapons all of that now remains very much in the air while the british government works out what to do next in the wake of this court case well the sale of weapons to saudi arabia is also being discussed in washington where u.s. senators are holding several votes aimed at blocky a multi-billion dollar arms deal with the kingdom and the allies are john hendren joins me now from washington d.c. and john i understand there have been developments. that's right nic in the past

few minutes that resolution actually passed that is a resolution the 1st of a few resolutions blocking saudi arms sales from the united states billions of dollars worth of arms sales and it passed by a margin of 53 to 45 that means 6 republicans had to join this 747 democrats in order to pass that that shows a crack in that solid republican coalition behind the president in the united states senate is now that is not enough to override a certain presidential veto they need 67 votes for that but it's a very strong statement it is a protest against the killings by saudi agents of jamal khashoggi the u.s. resident and journalist for the washington post it's also a protest against the killing of civilians in yemen using u.s. weapons and those are the 2 things that both republicans and democrats cited in

saying they were going to support this measure to block that vote but the republican leader mitch mcconnell said at a time when the u.s. is being threatened by iran this is not the time to abandon allies this is what he had to say there's no shortage of productive steps at members disposal but recklessly counseling u.s. arms sales to key regional partners is not on the look so the question the senate will soon consider is really those whether will lash out at an imperfect partner and undercut our own efforts to bill cooperation shock around and achieve other important goals or whether we'll keep our imperfect partners close and use our influence whether we'll push riyadh and away from the united states and push them closer to moscow adventure or whether we'll stay engaged and help our partners course correct where we can. now there are 2 more

procedural votes to go in the u.s. senate but it is clear there is a crack in that coalition of republicans behind president trump now this is happened once before and the president did override that veto but this shows a growing dissatisfaction with the president sort of personalize diplomacy and it suggests that the united states senate is not simply going to stand by while the president goes against traditional parag of the senate they won't be able to override the veto as of now unless a stronger coalition develops but it sends a very strong message both to president trump and to saudi arabia john thanks very much john hendren washington d.c. where the check is next then i. want to be for many a chance of protesters have once again filled the streets of khartoum. and one of

his former top generals has given several life sentences for his leading role in the failed coup. hello there well also showers over the southeastern parts of china again we have had a lot of flooding here and just over the past few hours the rains of mostly become confined to the northeastern parts of our map so from shanghai towards the west that's where really seeing the wetter weather looks like that system there will be pushing southwards again as we head through the day on saturday and then many of us are going to see some heavy rain and there could well be more in the way of flooding out of this system meanwhile out towards the west in the monsoon is sadly lacking and that means many of us seeing the temperatures soar over what they should be this time of year so hope for many of us and dry we do still have one or

2 areas where we are seeing some showers mostly along this western coast and say for the east as well in these 2 regions are where we'll see the wettest of the weather over the next couple of days the further north it's is staying dry for now and hot in new delhi with the top temperature of 42 degrees now here in doha have got some good news because it's been horribly windy over the past few days but that wind is finally going to ease still going to be with us on friday still a blustery day not quite as bad as it has been and then as we head into saturday those winds will begin to die away saturday should be a much better day even though it still holds a 42. bhosle is in cameron's with this. plastic everywhere. but if bottles can be fishing about its. bubblegum wellington.

one little can be done with this plague of polymers. reimagining plastic. on our just. and again you want a reminder about top stories and u.s. president donald trump is warning that's iran made a very big mistake after its revolutionary guard shot down an american drone is just being asked if the u.s. will try to strike iran. quotes you'll soon find out iran's foreign minister javid sorry has fought back saying the country will defend its skies and watch its. coach

in the united kingdom has ruled the british government broke the law by selling arms to saudi arabia that may have been used in the war in yemen britain's international trade secretary says that no new licenses to sell arms to saudi will be issued while the decision is being considered. and the u.s. senate has backed a resolution to block the sale of weapons to saudi arabia but today's vote which is only the 1st of $22.00 resolutions. well more on top story a white house correspondent can be how could it be listening at a pinch couldn't briefly understand committee about the u.s. drone that's been shot down by iran what have you been hearing. yeah there is so much going on right now with regard to this iran story not only the lines that you've just talked about with the u.s. president the oval office but also coming from the pentagon a briefing that was by audio on the telephone from general joseph stella the

commander of central command from the allergy to air base in qatar and he was asked about this he was not taking any questions instead he just gave a statement arguing once again trying to counter the lines coming from iran that in fact this was a surveillance aircraft that was shot shot down in iranian airspace disputing that in this statement saying this was international airspace that the united states was attempting to monitor and surveilling international waters and that iran attempted to disrupt that disrupting what the united states says is the free flow of commerce in the strait of hormuz so this is the account from the u.s. standpoint that this was not shot down in iranian area that the wreckage has fallen into the waters which the united states maintains is international territory so the briefing went on to kind of lay out specifically the parameters of why the united

states feels this was international airspace but again this is certainly something that iran disputes still we are getting very strong reactions from the u.s. president not only that we will see what will happen next to paraphrase his statements from the oval office but also that very strong tweet that we've had for him in the last couple of hours where in fact he says iran has made a very big mistake or kimberly thanks very much a that's the latest update from the white house can we hope that. north korea's leader says he's waiting for a positive move from the united states to try to get stalled nuclear talk back on track the comments reported by chinese state media were made as kim jong un welcomed china's president xi jinping to pyongyang his age i'm broke. this is a visit it's been a long time coming but was only confirmed on monday the welcoming ceremony for president xi jinping and 1st lady punk came with military honors and seamless

pageantry chinese state media said pee on yang was awash with exuberance. a reception that possibly exceeded anything she could even expect in his own country . the last time a chinese head of state was here was 14 years ago a reflection of a relationship that in recent years has often been strained mainly over north korea's nuclear bomb and missile development so i think this is about repairing the relationship between pyongyang in beijing which has been very rocky area since. korea. and the 1st think it's about that in the shorter term about. north korea and china getting on the same page about denuclearization negotiations with the u.s. which have installed president she said the international community wants those negotiations to succeed and china is willing to help during the past 15 months he's

met kim 4 times in china but this was their 1st encounter since kim met u.s. president donald trump in hanoi 4 months ago which ended without any agreement on north korean nuclear disarmament officially president xi is in pyongyang because it's 70 years since china and north korea established diplomatic relations with the visits also happening just days before he's due to meet the u.s. president donald trump who so far been unable to persuade kim to give up his nuclear arsenal but a former senior north korean diplomat believes kim is using she as a messenger to pass on a new offer to try the could end the impasse they want to use the prison says in as a kind of maybe in g 20 prison season ping is coming to jo pan next week and prison season playing may deliver this new author

directly to president trump so now it's up to president trump where she would accept this new proposal or not so she's visit to pyongyang appears timely what have. ns here could well determine the outcome of his planned meetings with president trump next weekend adrian brown al jazeera beijing. sudan's protesters a back on the streets demanding an immediate transfer of power to a civilian government they rejected calls for talks by the military joined and they want justice after security forces killed dozens of activists in an attack on june the 3rd the joins us says it's investigating the incident but it's also dismissed the state prosecutor after he denied his office was consulted the head of the attack of priyanka gupta as this. the familiar chant to protest is fill the night once again signaling that's a dance revolution is far from over. young women and men are

making they really known to the military gentile god. they think their ruling generals are not serious about handing over power to civilians why did we have the revolution we had the revolution to have a civilian government we will now go back to revolution now the youth are out to change that change the government to have a civilian government the military took over the revolution and the blood of martyrs was wasted therefore we are out here to change that and god willing the military will fall. the protesters have little trust in the military leadership. up to this month's violent crackdown led by a paramilitary group known as rapid support forces dozens of unarmed people were killed hundreds injured and many others alleged sexual assault but sudan's military gentil once negotiations to resume their lives are worth nearly one now we are removing our call to all political forces and the forces of the declaration of

freedom and change and we are saying to them come there is no need to put preconditions for dialogue there is no need to prolong the people suffering there is no government working now in the citizens have been affected a lot. in our foreign policy harmed by the lack of government we cannot afford to remain without a government anymore we do not want things out of control and you could be carried out because of the country's impasse. protest leaders have rejected that call and i demanding accountability and lifting of restrictions. on his shameful it's. no good or the. separate before long the. russian. are going. to order the rest of the internet meanwhile the african union which is suspended sudan's membership following the june 3rd crackdown is meeting at a suburban to figure out

a way to end the impasse while those diplomatic efforts continue behind closed doors on the streets a major internet blackout and a media clampdown protest is keep the pressure on. al jazeera. the rebels at war in yemen say they fired a cruise missile at a power station of the border in saudi arabia the saudis they say rebels fired a rocket at a deceleration plant adding that no damage was done to the missile attacks have increasingly been targeting saudi cities airports and oil infrastructure now in one of the biggest mass trials in turkey after the failed coup 3 years ago 209 people have been sentenced to life in prison they include a former commander of the air force convicted of attempting to assassinate the president tens of thousands of turks have since been arrested in a government crackdown that's alarmed rights groups. has more now from istanbul. the trial in i was one of the most important court appearances of the defendants

following the 2016 attempted coup because 2 of the defendants are consider some of the key architects of the attempted coup. turk who was the former force command and also ali yes as a top military aide to president. there were 224 defendants 13 outlaws and 17 of the defendants got back to back life sentences multiplied more than 140 times a way of saying here that. they will spend the rest of their lives behind bars the international community has been concerned about some of the proceedings because we're talking about more than 77000 people who were arrested mr personnel and also civil servants and the international community international human rights group groups have been asking for more transparency in this explains why the ministry of justice has been saying that the proceedings so far are in compliance with the

turkish constitution we're talking about a delicate issue here in turkey against a backdrop of the strained relations over many decades between the party and the military establishment which for many decades also presented itself as the guardian of secularism in the country that changed after 2002 when they managed somehow to sideline the military establishment and give more power to political parties and 2016 is widely seen here also as a turning point because that coup was the bloodiest so far in the modern history of turkey 250 people were killed and thousands were injured and i think some of the sentences that we saw today and in the past were message by the turkish government that it does not tolerate the army meddling into political life in the country. venezuela's opposition leader want to go to is under growing scrutiny because some

of his envoys have been accused of corruption connected to colombia. she reports now from the border city of cocoa to. more than 1400 members of venezuela's armed forces have fled to colombia this year. heeding the call of opposition leaders. to turn their backs on president nicolas maduro. at the time why dog praise their decision is now way those representatives are being accused of stealing funds intended to help them from crack as why they are called for an investigation. i mean we will not allow any mismanagement to tarnish what has been if it have all been aswat little's that's why we immediately sent the information gathered by my ambassador to colombia as attorney general's office to give a thorough explained action to the country where those ambassador in colombia their own promptly met with colombia's attorney general requesting a formal investigation. of him as well as government were quick to take advantage

of the mishap accusing why daughter of being behind the corruption scheme. his representatives are materially responsible but quite the is the mastermind of the alleged theft is a blow to the opposition that is frequently accused of large scale corruption one of the causes they say for the economic and humanitarian crisis is their business well as endured for years most of the factors have been sheltered tells in the border city of course at a cost of more than $10000.00 u.s. dollars per day the bill was split between the united nations and the venezuelan opposition which was repeatedly laid to pay and i'm getting the factors thrown out on the streets. these defectors were evicted this week from this shelter for protesting for not receiving enough food.
