results there a lie from brigade also ahead. tear gas is fired up at tester's as they try to storm georgia's parliament over the visit offer a russian politician. and kim jong il in well come see jumping to north korea it's the 1st trip by a chinese president in 14 years. hello democrats fear the u.s. could quote bumble into a war with iran over the shooting down of an unmanned american surveillance drone in the strait of hormuz president donald trump is promising a response but is not yet saying what that will be trampas called it a very big mistake u.s. congressional leaders are urging the president to act with caution. we have an

untrustworthy adversary the high kenshin wires are up in the region for a lot of different reasons. that are on the region some. tension one. 3rd we must act in a way that does. not escalate the tensions and the. well the pentagon has released what it says was the flight path off the drone the u.s. says it was flying at high altitude in international airspace when it was hit by a surface to air missile but iran has disputed where the incident took place the country's foreign minister has released his own version of a map saying the drone was intercepted violated arabian airspace or the downing of the drone is just the latest in a series of incidents in the gulf since mid may they include explosions on tankers that the u.s. has blamed on iran while u.s.

security officials were summoned to the white house to discuss a response to the downing of the spy drone mike hanna has more from washington. grainy footage released by the u.s. department of defense shows the moment when the drone was shot down. earlier to release these pictures of a similar class drone argue for global hawk which costs over $100000000000.00. rainy and chris t.v. released the sportage of the attack saying it had been obtained from the iran revolutionary guard corps tehran contended the drone penetrated the iranian airspace not so and says the u.s. military iranian reports that this aircraft was shot down over iran are categorically false the aircraft was over the strait of hormuz and fell into international waters senior members of the u.s. congress have been briefed on the situation and i don't think the president wants to go to war there's no at the change from going to war in a country which told the iranians before they shot the drone down that if you

engage against american personnel or assets you do search your own peril the president does not want a war with iran or anybody else and that he is the commander in chief national security figures gathered at the white house and the president sent out what appeared to be an ominous tweet iran made a very big mistake he said but then during a meeting with the canadian prime minister the president indicated that the tweet was not a warning but a literal observation i think probably iran. i made a mistake i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid at the same time the president did not rule out a u.s. response because i think you'll find out. you'll find out

you'll find me i believe you are obviously obviously you know we're not going to be talking too much about it president trump has made clear in the past he favors some form of negotiation to resolve the crisis rather than armed action this despite the urging to forceful action from some in cabinet in particular the national security adviser john bolton the question is whether this latest incident will tip the balance in the favor of the administration's hawks at the expense of those who advocate dialogue mike hanna al-jazeera washington let's get an update from hide his own past sources joining us from washington and do you see anything new that you're hearing from your end heidi on on the situation and what happens next. well during there was a classified briefing at the white house involving congressional leaders this afternoon upon the completion of that democratic leaders spoke briefly with

reporters they didn't share many details of what was discussed citing the classified information but house speaker nancy pelosi did say she was convinced after seeing the evidence that this u.s. unmanned drone was an international waters when it was shot down she also said that military options before trump were not discussed with herself and she stressed deescalation and engaging with u.s. allies she also said that the white house absolutely needs congressional approval before any sort of retaliatory military strike on iran the same message was echoed by her colleague senator chuck schumer who also cautioned the administration against repeating mistakes of the past citing the u.s. invasion on iraq which had been started based on faulty intelligence. the president may not intend to go to war here but we're worried that he and the

administration may bumbled into a war we told the room that the democratic position is that congressional approval must be required before funding any conflict in iran one of the best ways to avoid bumbling into war a war that nobody wants is to have a robust open debate and for congress to have a real say we learned that lesson in the runner up to iraq we have an amendment supported by every democrat to the n.d.a. in the senate it's led by senator udall it would require congressional approval of any funding for a conflict in iran it's supported by all of us we are asking leader mcconnell to do the right thing and give us a vote next week on the n.d.a. on that amendment. so now the big question is exactly where is president trump's head in all of this you heard from mike hanna reporting that he's given sort of

mixed messages but if we look to his history we know that trump has had a tendency to punch back hard when he feels he's been attacked but at the same time he promised voters in the u.s. that he would try to disengage the u.s. from foreign military conflicts so it still remains to be seen exactly what the u.s. will do. thank you. well let's take a closer look at the 2 conflicting versions the pentagon has released this video u.s. military insists the incident happened over international airspace in the strait of hormuz at least 34 kilometers away from the iranian territory iran's foreign minister on the other hand says the drone took off from the u.a.e. and violated iranian airspace and it was sat down near. hormones gun province in southern iran our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations if i don't find heat on the iranians are determined to persuade the international

community that they're the ones telling the truth in addition to the broadcast of this video which the iranian press t.v. says was filmed by the islamic republic's revolutionary guards the foreign minister mohammed job and zarif has been busy on twitter he said we retrieve sections of the u.s. military drone in our territorial waters where it was shot down he posted this hand drawn map which he says shows the exact flight path as well as marking iranian territorial waters he says it proves iran acted in self-defense it's a point that iran's ambassador to the u.n. magid tucker of and she makes in a letter to secretary general antonio good terrorists and to the current president of the un security council in the letter he says the drone was in full stealth mode as it turned off its identification equipment and engaged in a clear spying operation despite repeated radio warnings it entered into the

iranian air space where the air defense system of the islamic republic of iran acting under article $51.00 of the united nations charter targeted the intruding aircraft at 4 o 5 hours in the letter iran says the drone was in the air for almost 4 hours it says it doesn't want a war but it reserves the right take any necessary measures against hostile acts it wants the international community to respond so far though no meeting of the u.n. security council has been scheduled jamesburg out jazeera at the united nations. several people have been injured in violent demonstrations in georgia's capital tbilisi police fired out of the left bank shares as a protest service tried to storm parliament the un last began after visiting russian politicians sergei gonchar along was allowed to address lawmakers there robin for him also has more from somebody as a result of clashes with the police i think people who've seen. really beaten
