live must step down the cry of angry students in front of the american beer 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 or try to quell ill feeling the tragedy had left him inconsolable home and he said. but for some the really ins the headlines said it's all shame said one. unforgivable read another alongside a list of the dead. kids and their denial and coverup

over the past 3 days greatly added to the family's pain and suffering and to mind the. u.s. president donald trump tweeted in english and farsi a call for transparency seeing the world is watching those protests continue in cities across iran all eyes will be on the regime's reaction. but earlier i spoke to dr julie norman from the department of political science at university college london and i asked her how significant was it that the protesters voicing such open anger against iran's supreme leader this is extremely significant and such a change from what we saw just a few days ago during the funerals for asylum in salem one is such an 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 with 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. what do you think the around 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 restitution for the losses from the crash on the a some sort of restitution to families i'm repatriation etc 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 for 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 these brutal crackdown can we expect something similar again old norse using. oh and that is such a question right now again in november and the crackdown was very swift and quite intense at least 300 confirmed deaths but probably many more than that many people disappeared and detained as well and a complete internet blackout and shutdown 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 the use the tear gas still the use of beatings arrest and detention the died while still hurston 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

it's it should situation internally is that 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. now to some of the other stories making news around the world in bangkok thousands took part in a run billed as an anti-government protest shouted pro-democracy 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. after weeks of criticism of prime minister scott morrison now says he's handling of the country's bushfire crisis could have been he's proposed a national review into the government's response to the disaster news that another 5 has died bringing the death toll from the bushfires to 28. at

least 11 people have died in severe storms across central and southern parts of the united states the storm system produce tornadoes and heavy winds as well as ice lightning from the storm is suspected to have caused several harms. well thousands of residents in the philippines have been ordered to evacuate their homes after a volcano began spewing ash into the sky seismologists say the volcano could erupt any day following a series of earthquakes rumblings and magma flows the taal volcano lies just 65 kilometers south of the philippine capital manila which is closed due to huge plumes of ash from the volcano or the clouds have been generating volcanic lightning as well has made travel dangerous in nearby towns school classes have been canceled and residents have been advised to stay indoors and use mosques.

before more on this we're joined by correspondent santos in the philippine capital manila what's the situation where you are now. the government has raised the alert level to 4 out of a 5 point scale and they're warning of a highs or just eruption that may come within the next hour of 4 days and classes have been suspended in areas in metro manila and around the towns around the volcano also all slights have been cancelled on social media citizens who live in the here in manila was about 40 miles away have been posting photos of ash fall that has connected on their cars their windows on their homes it is really a very tense situation right now. and the tell us what's happening closer to the volcano how dangerous is the situation there. so just sits on a lake you know surrounded by

a body of water and the just had warned of possible volcanic tsunamis so these are surges that may come about when you know a volcano spews boulders are large fragments into a body of water i spoke to our reza dan from a nearby town around town and she told me that right now they're very scared they're very tense and anxious volcano is making its presence felt to them in every possible way they see clouds of smoke coming from the volcano they feel that's tremors through the earthquakes and they continue to hear rumblings from the volcano also throughout the day and as i had spoken to her just a few minutes ago so these residents for these residents it's not going to be easy to see through the night and i could you talk us through what the a filipino authorities are doing how prepared are they if the situation gets worse . to our volcano the 2nd most active volcano in the philippines and as early as march last year. office had already been wanted for its activities is

ready showing wrongly so and philippines is certainly not stranger to natural disasters or one of the most natural disaster prone areas in the world and now all of the disaster preparedness and survival skills are kicking in and the government is on full alert over the next few hours and days on a santos in manila thank you very much. 10 years ago haiti was hit by a massive earthquake that leveled much of the country's capital an estimated 200000 people were killed and another one and the hospital ian were left homeless we now visit a school that was left devastated and see how the country is being 10 years on. haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere politically unstable and virtually bankrupt a nation torn apart by violence and battling for survival 10 years on from the

devastating earthquake we visit an aid project in the capital port au prince we talked to aid workers and some of the nuns running a new school they will never forget the horror of the earthquake which struck on january 12th 2010 this school which once stood here was totally destroyed more than $100.00 pupils teachers and nuns were killed sister she still was one of the lucky survivors. sure i was trapped in these the rubble and i was afraid i would die. because i just focused on trying to keep breathing. just buried for 2 days without food or water but managed to cling on most of the others died. the 10th anniversary of the disaster brings back painful memories. yes.

this is some of the nuns died. they just had no chance in the earthquake. and eyes of these are some of the children who were pulled dead from the rubble. after the school roof collapsed and fell on them so. that. we had to bury them straight away. and there was no way of refrigerating their bodies. the old school is no longer there the new school is like a shining beacon in the midst of overwhelming poverty rebuilt with the help of donations from germany. 17000000 euros has been invested here and the school has nearly 1300 pupils. students aged 3 to 20 have a chance to build a future for themselves. at least for

a few hours the children can leave behind the brutal reality of life in haiti here they're safe and have enough to eat which is often not the case at home. many of haiti's population of $11000000.00 have to get by on less than a dollar a day aid workers say more and more people are going hungry sister mary makes regular visits to pupils and their families in the poorer areas. comforting words keep hopes and dreams alive for children like little ole lou. i am i want to be a doctor. because doctors look after poor and sick people. who laugh. haiti is a broken land sliding deeper into a destructive spiral of poverty violence and political crisis.
