coming up begins 3 days of mourning after 89 soldiers are killed in an attack on a military camp. and more love from an erupting volcano in the philippines that's forced thousands to flee and shut down the nellis air force. now there have been protests across iran for a 2nd day increasing pressure on its leaders after they admitted that the military accidentally shot down a ukrainian airliner but there have also been rallies against the u.k. by those who say its government is trying to stir up chaos and on the diplomatic front katz's a mia arrived in tehran pushing for talks to resolve the crisis with the u.s. forces barry reports. an important ally on an important mission. the 1st official visit to iran by the emir of qatar shift i mean been

hammered all funny comes at a critical time for the region at the invitation of president hassan rouhani the 2 leaders discussed increasing economic and political cooperation. rajoy. me yet considering the importance of regional security especially in the waterways in the persian gulf and the strait of hormuz and the sea of a man who decided to have more talks and corporation for the security of the whole region. the recent crisis between iran and the united states was also on the agenda qatar is one of the few countries in the region that maintains a close relationship with washington and tehran. walked has said this visit comes as a very critical time in the region and we've agreed that the only solution is to defuse a skill ations among all parties and we've also agreed that dialogue and only dialogue and it is the only route to any solution to any crisis and that mere also met iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei before ending his one day visit

the supreme leader stressed towns readiness for wider cooperation with regional states as the current political climate is very sensitive in the region because of u.s. policies. while the diplomatic talks were underway this was the scene outside the british embassy in tehran the chance calling for the embassy to be shut down. on saturday the british ambassador robert macaire was briefly arrested after attending what he said was a vigil for the victims of a rainy and missile strike that brought down a ukrainian airliner killing 176 people in iran some in the ambassador accusing him of attending and the legal protest where demonstrators voiced their anger at the initial denials that arraigning forces had shut down the plane after days of denials iran's revolutionary guard finally admitted mistakenly shooting down the boeing 737 on wednesday morning the british foreign office described him basters

arrest as a breach of international law he's now joining calls for dialogue to reduce tensions and finding a diplomatic way forward. the qatari amir's visit here is being seen as a 1st sign of a real diplomatic efforts to ease the hostilities between iran and the united states but it's too early to say whether or not it will have to desired outcome there says a pari al-jazeera tampon. well faisal is true about he has served as iraq's ambassador to the united nations and he says that iran is being compelled from both inside and out to ease the crisis i think everyone in the region wants a deescalation robert than an escalation of the tensions of some of the reports are true that even includes. iran and i believe it also includes the president of the united states or maybe those around them who want an escalation with iran but i don't think the president now wants to be involved in another war in the middle

east so i think a way forward. makes sense through intermediaries and i think then there are a couple other than obvious place to go for that sort of intermediation their issues of course are. more complicated now therefore it was the from the iranian perspective sanctions and the fact that the united states withdrew from the nuclear agreement the united states wants to negotiate a better nuclear agreement but also wants to shore and says about iran's regional activities which are detrimental to us and present often detrimental to the states involved such as iraq such as lebanon. have but now with the with the assassination of possum so they money i think those efforts will be much more complicated it's possible that because the iranian regime is feeling international pressure but also pressure domestically that it may now find an opportune time to

find a way to the escalate. and more questions are emerging about the immediate threat that u.s. president donald trump cited as his justification for killing a rainy and general custom ceremony his defense secretary marcus purses he hasn't seen specific evidence that iran was about to attack 4 u.s. embassies and fisher has the details. the killing of kassam solo money and its consequences continues to reverberate around the american political scene president donald trump claimed in a televised interview on friday for u.s. embassies when it imminent risk of a rainin attack that he said justified the operation but u.s. defense secretary marc esper was far less certain there was one piece of intelligence that pointed in that direction i didn't see one with regard to 4 embassies what i'm saying is i share the president's view that probably my expectation was they're going to go after our embassies embassies the most prominent display of american presence in

a country one of the embassies at risk believed to be the one in baghdad the president's national security adviser insists the threat to 4 was real the intelligence they were working with was in his words exquisite because of the prompt action that we took both with respect to the embassy in baghdad which they would have attempted to overrun and storm and with respect to our military bases that were hit by the iranians with their ballistic missiles there was no loss of american life in any other case and i think that's a credit to the president states but in capitol hill both republicans and democrats have been critical of the intelligence briefing they were given democrat adam schiff chair of the house intelligence committee stopped just short of accusing the trumpet ministration of lying to congress the brief was much more along the lines frankly of something the secretary pompei 0 admitting the other day when he said that we don't know precisely where and we know know precisely when republican senator rand paul a trump supporter said there was no evidence an attack was imminent and insisted

congress must act to limit for the action against iran so my point being for this war powers debate is that we really need to have a debate about whether we should still be in iraq or afghanistan and there needs to be authorization from congress. the u.s. house of representatives has approved a war powers resolution aimed at limiting future military action against iran by the trumpet ministration there's no sign it's about to be debated in the senate alan fischer washington. and as tensions persist thousands of people have gone along to vigils for the $57.00 canadian victims of the ukrainian passenger jet crash prime minister justin trudeau told one memorial event in edmonton that he will not rest until there's justice for the tragedy. people gathered at the university which last 16 daniel aqua's that. those reading out victims' names from the ukrainian airlines crash were choked with emotion so were many who watched among the victims were dozens of university

canadian representatives after it admitted on saturday it had shot down the plane amid the grieving at the vigil in toronto a glimmer of hope for some sort of change in iran this incident may well turn out to be iran's chair noble because it's really the straw that broke the camel's back people have already suffered enough from. violent repression authoritarianism and corruption people in iran are truly suffering especially the young people this is one of many events held across canada since the crash in tehran last week the canadian government says it's listening and promising to keep up the pressure on iran for a credible investigation compensation for those who lost loved ones and for justice to prevent another tragedy daniel lak al jazeera toronto. now haitians have paid some but tribute to as many as 300000 people who were killed in the
