was behind the explosions israel has remained silent providing no comment but warned against a possible attack. i live you have that shortly after midnight this pro-government t.v. station broadcast reports of missile strikes in the provinces of hama and aleppo. syrian state media outlets are speculating that the attacks were carried out by israel and targeted iranian facilities but israel has declined to comment on syrian president bashar assad has not said who he thinks was behind the strikes during a visit by an iranian delegation he said such aggression would enhance syrians resolve to eliminate terrorism. syrian soldiers are fighting alongside iranian forces against militants hoping to overthrow president assad iran has been expanding its military presence in syria

for years and by doing so now has forces directly neighboring israel while in jordan as part of his middle east tour u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o made clear that he wanted to increase pressure on iran. both of our countries know the threat that iran poses to the region this morning we had a chance to discuss how best to counter runs malign influence and activity in the region the king of jordan has also voiced concern over iran's growing military and political presence in syria. all in just a reminder we will that we will be carrying mr netanyahu as address live as soon as it gets under way in the meantime interest on our very own tanya cramer is standing by a good evening tanya a special announcement on iran what could that potentially me. while you can imagine there's a lot of speculation is why it has been a very hectic day since we learned about this special announcement tonight there

was an emergency session of the security cabinet in the often moon after. this strike in syria we don't know who's behind that strike but also over the weekend we've seen a lot of diplomatic flurry here in the region on over the weekend prime minister netanyahu had talked on the phone with president the tram and also then of course the visit of the new secretary of state is to pump a you can you know on sunday and both have talked about the nuclear deal with iran and said again if this deal can't be fixed it would likely be next and that has been what has mr snow has been saying all along of course there's a lot of speculation what might he say. possibly have to wait and see but some reports in the israeli media it's suggest that you might have some until now hidden documents some information that could cost

a doubt over the intentions of iran on its nuclear program but we have to wait and see what he has to say right and we're expecting that address to happen momentarily now mr netanyahu has been issuing very dark warnings about iran he has been lobbying washington very hard as well how much is for domestic consumption and how much is really the leadership worried about iran's growing role in the region. well i think this has been always politics of mr netanyahu iran has been always at the forefront of his policies and of course in the past couple of months so what has been really high on the agenda is the increasing or what is perceived as increasing iranian influence that it takes. especially in syria but also that through this nuclear deal the example that iran could grow economically and would gain more influence in other countries in the region in iraq in lebannon in syria

as i said and was particular about syria is israel is very much concerned about that iran might establish military bases and then it would be very very close to israel's northern border and that's something that is about contacts sept so that's why they are very keen on getting this message through that iran is the problem here in the region tanya kramer reporting at please stand by we hope to catch up with you more once that address by prime minister netanyahu gets under way his office had said that he has a significant development to share with the world on the iranian nuclear program and we'll be carrying that for you live but for now we shift our attention to of ghana sohn where at least twenty five people have been killed and scores injured in two back to back suicide attacks in the capital kabul another blast to encounter

her province to the south left eleven children dead and in the third attack in the east the b.b.c. says one of its i've gone reporters was killed and the kabul attacks nine journalists and four police officers were among those who died so-called islamic state group has claimed responsibility. the two suicide bombers struck in the central shot star rock area near nato headquarters and the afghan defense ministry staggering the blasts for maximum effect. after a motorcyclist set off the first explosion another attacker embedded with journalists running to the scene detonated a second device month i want to study shut the enemy was posing as a camera man. he detonated his explosives among a group of journalists in the area. in the resulting explosion a number of our journalists and other people and passers by this includes nearby residents who were gathered at the scene were wounded and martyr. exactly

sure that one of the dead was a of peace chief photographer in kabul some three dozen journalists have died in attacks since two thousand and sixteen reporters without borders says this was the single deadliest day for journalists since the taliban were driven out of kabul in two thousand and one. a little mother named i was about ten meters away from the side of the first explosion trying to get there when the second blast happened it was very powerful when i finally got there i found many of my fellow reporters lying on the ground some of them dead already. the afghan government has pledged repeatedly to improve security in the capital but hundreds have already died in attacks since the start of this year. all right when i bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has urged palestinians and israelis to resume

political engagement america's top diplomat made his comments during a visit to jordan today spawning to questions about recent violence on the israel gaza border mr pompeo said israel has a right to defend itself. britain has a new one and interior minister his son of pakistani immigrants. says he aims to end the might immigration deportation scandal that forced his predecessors to resign ambergris would step down after misleading parliament about targets for the removal of illegal migrants that followed outrage over interior department threats to deport many legal migrants who derived from britain's former colonies all right and i think we want to take you back to our top story mr netanyahu the israeli prime minister is getting ready to deliver

a speech i see you still preparing we'll get to that once it gets underway but i believe. we'll get to that once it gets under way in the meantime a u.n. security council team investigating myanmar's treatment of its sever henschel minority has met with the country's leader aung san suu kyi and its military chief the army launched attacks on revenge of villages last august as a result around seven hundred thousand people fled to neighboring bangladesh where they've been living in makeshift shelters on the way to me and maher the security council team visited a refugee camp. tears flowed freely as rwanda refugees shared stories of rape and murder speaking to members of the un security council they told of how they were forced to flee their homes in myanmar following a violent military crackdown last august. i think it should be said.

any problems with commitments anyway because of the nuclear weapons irrational as well as a matter. well tonight i'm here to tell you one thing iran lart big time after signing the nuclear deal in the two thousand and fifteen iran intensified its efforts to hide its secret nuclear files in two thousand and seventeen iran moved its nuclear weapons files to a highly secret location into iran this is the shore about district in southern turkey on. this is where they kept the atomic archives right here few radians knew where it was very few and also a few israelis now from the outside this was an innocent looking compound

it looks like a dilapidated warehouse but from the inside it contained iran secret atomic archives locked in massive files actually the little bigger than this. a few weeks ago in a great intelligence achievement israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults and here's what we got. to five thousand pages. another fifty five thousand files and one hundred eighty three c.d.'s everything you're about to see is an exact copy of the original iranian material you may want to know where the originals well i can say they're now in a very safe place here's what the files included incriminating documents

incriminating charts incriminating presentations incriminating blueprints incriminating photos incriminating videos and more we've shared this material with the united states and the united states can vouch for its authenticity we will also share it with other countries and we'll share it with the international atomic energy agency so let me tell you the history of this material we've known for years that iran had a secret nuclear weapons program called project ahmad we cannot prove that project on ma was a comprehensive program to design build and test nuclear weapons we can also prove . that iran is secretly storing project ahmad material to use at

a time of its choice to develop nuclear weapons here is what project ahmad's explicit goal was creating nuclear weapons this is an original iranian presentation from these files and here's the mission statement design produce and test five warheads each with ten kiloton tiant. for integration and a missile you don't have to read farsi to see ten kiloton here. this is the specific goal of project ahmad that's like five hiroshima bombs to be put on ballistic missiles.
