not threatened any further military action against iran the president was speaking at the white house after iran launched a missile attack on military bases housing u.s. troops in iraq iran had claimed that at least 80 americans have been killed but trump said that by inspire a crucial and highly anticipated moment no americans were harmed in last night's attack by the iranian regime we suffered o'carroll to all of our soldiers are safe and orderly minimal damage was sustained and our military bases are donald trump confirming no troops were injured or killed in iran's missile attack meant there was no need to escalate tensions between the 2 countries. it's all about the iranian state television had earlier claimed missiles fired by iran's forces had killed 80 u.s. soldiers at the ion al assad air base in iraq. the attack was an act of revenge for

the killing of top military commander general kasim any the move has been widely welcomed across iran. crowds chanting death to america as iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali how many told them their message has been delivered of. a slender force delivered last night. but what is important is that the seditious presence of america. in the region should be and it. i the country's foreign minister also spoke out. i. said very clearly that if the united states takes any further action iran viewed

respond accordingly and we would respond in a very harsh way but proportionately united stunnel trump and did promise further action but in form of economic sanctions military confrontation it appears has been averted for now let's bring in our washington correspondent now he's been following that story for us pablo we heard president trump in that address there definitely a change in tone. for source saying the u.s. is ready to embrace peace now is this then the end of the immediate conflict that we're seeing between the u.s. and iran. you know if you're right there karl a very different tone to the one that we heard from president trump just a few days ago but of course it is may be too much to say that this is the end of this that we're not going to be seeing any sort of. issue between iran and the united states and what is most being discussed here is the fact that of course

president trump is very adverse to the idea of entering into a war particularly particularly in an election year let's not forget that it was actually one of his election promises back in 2016 that he would not enter into any and he wore necessarily and also what we need to focus on is now perhaps that we could be seeing sort of proxies attacking you know u.s. targets in the middle east who are linked to iran there's other areas as well where there are fears in the united states where iran may cause problems for the united states let's not forget of course the persian gulf. has been a target before used by iran and let's not forget as well cyber attacks so at the moment what's being saying said here in the united states is you know let's express a little bit of caution let's wait let's not just assume that everything is absolutely fine between these long term enemies so trump now rather than calling

for more conflict calling for new diplomatic efforts what will those efforts look like i mean these are 2 sides that have been going at it not agreeing on much how likely is it that they can find any common ground. well it may come as a surprise to many but in fact the united states and iran actually do have contact of some sort it all to go through other embassies or other countries that they do have links with one that's been mentioned a lot here in the united states it's switzerland so they communicate that way or through other embassies but the idea that the 2 will sit down and actually discuss it is maybe hard to believe for soem but you know president trump did mention that he would like to reach some sort of agreement along with europe with iran to reach a new deal president trump being once again proved once again that he believes in maximum pressure the idea of maximum pressure is that you know if with these sanctions it will essentially force iran to sit down after negotiating table and

come up with a new deal along with the european allies of the united states but you know at the moment let's take it step by step in order to reach the situation. many things need to happen 1st and foremost. bringing us the latest from washington d.c. thank you very much or here's a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world an earthquake has rattled iran's only nuclear power plant it was a 4.9 magnitude tremor struck early on wednesday close to the city of bora john could be felt from some 55 kilometers away at the share nuclear. russian president vladimir putin has met his turkish counterpart breccia thai air to want to inaugurate a new gas pipeline turk stream pipeline opens up a new export route for russian gas to turkey and to europe the meeting followed putin's surprise visit to syria. well more than

170 people have died after a ukrainian passenger jet crashed in iran it's not get clear what caused the plane to go down the ukraine international airlines jet was on its way from iran's capital tehran to kiev ukraine's president a lot of years olinsky has broken off a foreign visit to return to kiev because of the crash the president says ukraine will be sending a search and rescue team to iran momentarily the morning after wreckage and what's left of the personal items of those who are on board the ukraine international airlines flight from tehran to kiev was carrying over 170 passengers and ukrainian crew the majority were iranian with many canadians and some swedes on board. many were rainy and students or rainy and canadians returning via kiya having spent the winter break with their families. around the world

expressions of grief like here at kiev international airport but also an international scramble to find answers the last inspection took place on the 6th of january there were no comments from the inspectors the aircraft was functional there were also no comments from the crew upon arrival since the crash coincided with the ram launching missiles at u.s. bases in iraq some experts say the plane may have been shut down canada's prime minister justin trudeau called for a thorough investigation as did the swedish prime minister. it is now important that a thorough proper investigation is carried out to find out the cause of the accident u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe has said he wants the u.s. to be involved in the probe but the arabian say they won't hand over the black box to boeing initially iranian and ukrainian officials both blamed mechanical problems

but the ukrainians later backpedaled declining to offer a cause well the investigation is going on. in india police have fired live ammunition at protesters taking part in a nationwide strike against government economic policies police fired shots into the air in the city of kolkata and as protesters set fire to vehicles and threw rocks at security forces the strike disrupted public transport banks and factories across india. hunger but prime minister narendra modi has driven these people on to the streets. across india up to 250000000 workers have joined the general strike. moody's authoritarian policies they see not only contravene workers' rights they're also a danger to indian democracy. that the laws has been passed and posix months they are to sit in the freedom and the riviera living in this country we have fees that most children cannot afford so that though the government is trying to get trying

to create these bonds of the government can create these quite excited of. people who will be able to buy education. for months there have been huge protests against increased student fees police violence followed this week students were seriously injured in a robbery at their holes of residence in delhi with no one yet held accountable the unions also feel ignored by the modi regime. and these facing a slowdown economic slowdown and that if they are facing job loss they said hey is dave a different number many in the country. discontent looks unlikely to dissipate with the end of the general strike. well big changes could be on the way for the british royal family prince harry and his american born wife have announced that they plan to step back from their duties as senior members of the family prince harry and

megan have just returned from a 6 week stay in canada in a statement on their website and on instagram they said they would continue to support the queen but they wish to become financially independent and balance their time between britain and north america. we spoke earlier to our london correspondent sure lots of aunts and we asked her just how significant this announcement it's. it is really a dress to move and unprecedented in modern royal history and i think we have to take a look back at the couple's history their marriage and their relationship in a 2018 was met by huge and susie essman also their charitable work that they've been doing through their foundation and all of that changed in 20191 of the highest there of course was the birth of their son they opted for a royal title already for that baby so maybe a sign of what we're seeing happening now but the couple was met with huge scrutiny criticism by british tabloid media to

a point where harry stepped up and said that the tabloid magazines were driving a ruthless campaign against the couple and that he was afraid that what happened to his mother to princess diana would happen to his wife meggan formally. the duchess of sussex so that was his fear and he probably trying to take themselves a little bit out of the public eye of course that move though doesn't mean that they are completely out of the public eye but at the moment very much in it. for us and london sports now in liverpool's senegalese forward samuel monday has been named african footballer of the year for 2019 when they picked up the award at a ceremony in egypt beating out of their english premier league stars the crowd. runner up for the past 2 years sally i money is the bridesmaid no more he's finally got his hands on one of african football's most coveted prizes on this really had.
