angry students in front of the amir could be your university and to run strong criticism of iran's supreme leader. the revolutionary guards are deployed. leave us alone at last the crowd chants. but the guards don't comply. tear gas is used to disperse the protesters. earlier iran's military commander in chief and tried to quell ill feeling the tragedy had left him inconsolable home and he said. but for many iranians that didn't wash and that's not how it should be arsenal liars she says ok i do it i would do if it would have been better if they hadn't all lied in the start people would have taken it better but no no one believes anything he said before. in los angeles the rainy and americans traditionally critical of the regime gather to

called for harmony's removal they sent messages of solidarity to the protesters. until the bedroom was the u.s. president to offer the protesters his backing even tweeting in farsi that the world is watching. i'm with people in the streets and cities across iran and calls for new must demonstrations on sunday all eyes will be on the regime's reaction. was. let's cross now to london and speak to dr julie norman from the department of political science at university college london welcome to day dr norman the protesters are displaying very open anger towards iran supreme leader how significant is this. this is extremely significant and such

a change from what we saw just a few days ago during the funerals for asylum in salem many such outpouring of unity just 2 days ago completely a change now showing real anger towards the regime not only for the tragedy but more the fact that people feel lied to by the regime for keeping that information for 3 days so out where the coming back out into the streets i'm calling specifically for for the supreme leader to step down is really a major shift for iran and especially at this particular moment i want to ask you about the show of patriotism that we saw off to general soleimani was killed we sort of see of people turning out for his funeral procession how seriously has this sentiment been undermined by the revelation that iran admitted it shot down the plane. well that's exactly it it again just 2 days ago you know a lot of the initial opposition protests that we had seen back in november those really seem calm and overshadowed by just a really unprecedented level of unity that we saw again just 48 hours ago and then

we see that shift dramatically really just overnight with this admission from there is about their air and and downing a plane and so this really has overshadowed a lot of the protests that were happening just 2 days ago what do you think the iran regime will or is going to have to do to quell these protests. yes so this is a big question of course in the short term we can expect that the regime will be trying to make some kind of gestures of restitution for the losses from the crash on you some sort of restitution to families repatriation et cetera but again this is couched in something bigger and these protests are not just coming out of the blue to this again they're building on protests and sentiments that were here started 2 and 2 months ago in which there was a very violent crackdown on protesters then that was in response to the economic condition and the political culture more broadly so we'll see the regime try and do

what they can to make amends for on to the tragedy of the plane crash but again there's something bigger that people are protesting about as well you did mention these protests at the end of last year you mentioned this brutal crackdown can we expect something similar again old norse using. blend that is such a question right now again in november the crackdown was very swift and quite intense these 300 confirmed deaths but probably many more than that many people disappeared and detained as well and a complete internet blackout and shut down as well which made it very hard to follow what we've seen so far in the current protests a very different kind of dynamic again as your clip showed still these the tear gas still the use of beatings arrest and detention died while still herson worthy of criticism is is still later than we saw back in november and probably because again

there is so much focus on iran right now because the tensions and sufficient situation internally is at such a different place the regime knows that people are going to be watching it very differently is good to talk to you talk to julie norman from the department of political science at university college london thank you very much for your time thank you. we're going to australia now where another firefighter has died battling the country's devastating bushfires this brings the death toll to $28.00 since the fire started 3 months ago after weeks of criticism a strategy as prime minister scott morrison now says that he made mistakes and that his response to the crisis could have been better. the famous sales of the sydney opera house these days so often shrouded in smoke and now a canvas carrying messages of thanks to the firefighters who battled the bushfires some losing their lives the latest victim a 60 year old forestry worker named bill slade.

bill was working as a member of fatah is false and the angler's rest area. and he was struck by a train. the bushfires have left many so-called killer trees waiting to fall landscapes like these are the new normal in the country scorching summer and some australians are angry demanding their leaders take action to address the causes of the crisis now the embattled prime minister scott morrison has admitted some failures there are things that i could have handled on the ground much better there's a very emotional environment and promises of flesh and blood to and have engaged with put engagements like this on wanted handshakes and called shoulders when confronted by critics morris and now says he shouldn't have holidayed in hawaii in the heat of the crisis and after months of equivocating a clear comment on the links between climate change and the fires. quanah charge it

is the government's policy has obviously impacted on the longer haul to draw some a citizens and that's the advice we've received and that that is not contested that is the position of the government ok let there be no dispute about that as the fire call outs continue the prime minister has promised a royal commission to review the crisis but there's no announcement of any change to the country's carbon emissions targets or its reliance on fossil fuels. some australians want to see more substance and less smoke. out to some of the other stories making news around the world today in bangkok thousands took part in iran billed as an end to government protest run as shouted pro-democracy slogans and voiced opposition to thailand's military aligned government it's one of the biggest shows of dissent in recent years meanwhile thousands also staged a pro-government run elsewhere in bangkok. hopes for
