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 and try to quell ill feeling the tragedy had left him inconsolable how many said. but for some iranians the headlines said it's all shame said one. unforgivable read another alongside a list of the dead. back to find the denial and cover up over the past 3 days greatly added to the family's pain and suffering and to mine

and i mean. us 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. all right let's bring in and they got more of the now she is the diplomatic correspondent for the british newspaper the independent joining us from washington d.c. welcome to the program now you've been speaking to sources on the ground and techron what are they telling you all they concerned about the government response. well yes as we saw back in november just the anti-government protests that across the country and the crackdown was very very deadly hundreds of protesters were killed by security forces directly shooting at people attacking people very

brutally basically so those definitely concern in the back of people's minds but then at the same time when you see the demographics of these protests slightly different from what we signed november which had a very strong economic under charge back in the november protest this time it's led by students it broke at university campuses prominent universities and have gone it's basically the political elite joining in leading the chance although the chancellor very political with them at the same time type of reaction of security forces to this type of urban middle class or the political protests have been different in the past still we're hearing reports of tear gas beatings and out potentially this as the leading into a violent crackdown against still. right i mean you mentioned. measures 2 previous alarming response i mean with all that in mind we surprised the public did come out on to the streets to express their anger with the government so i may.

well there is a certain level of risk when you protest on the street and iran in a public very well knows that in the past years eventually protesters have gone home where the protests have faded down because of the food all repression not because the grievances have been going anywhere so the grievances are still there and then when it wraps when this just becomes saw a route people feel like they have no other option but to take it to the 3 this basically with their government that they did with the ukrainian hitting civilian flight on your own capital airspace to begin with just to let the civilian. like go into areas like the middle of this operation and 3 days of denial to spirit sees the rumors that's just cause a lot of anger and mistrust right from the population against their own the untaet you mention that because the evolution of all that they say is interesting when you

have had last week millions of iranians attending the funeral of the general killed by the u.s. drone strike and now thousands protesting against the government and the revolutionary guard how divide it is around in society. but iranian society is polarized and also divided there are so many opinions like any other society to be frank any president talks about iranians being on the street as if the funeral for them soleimani wasn't real or it was orchestrated no it wasn't here in washington you had a crowd that came out for president trying to not to ration the day after you had a bigger crowd that came out for the women's march so that's basically natural and any in any society there is even some overlap soft spoken to reformist political activists underground who are still a money killing because they saw it as an aggression an act look basically stumbling into a war and he condemned it and then at the same time they're condemning their own government today or yesterday for this big mass up against their own civilians at

the end of the day we have to remember this is a potential war that hasn't even started resilience are basically paying the price for it so imagine what would happen if a war actually broke out between iran and the u.s. that's what makes most iranians very very concerned crucial point to make an egg. the diplomatic correspondent for the independent that british newspaper thank you so much indeed my pleasure. well iraq's military says that 8 rockets have struck a major air base where some u.s. personnel all housed an official statement says that 4 rocky soldiers were wounded airbase some 80 kilometers north of the capital baghdad there's been no claim of responsibility the u.s. has not confirmed the incident. has taken it now it's on the other stories making news around the world this hour hopes for a ceasefire in libya have been shaken off to both sides in the conflict accused each other of continuing to fight there are reports of gunfire in the capital

could be a hazardous eruption of the top volcano near the capital manila any day now authorities have closed schools and suspended all flights in and out of manila's international airport. a warning shot from top of volcano as it spews a column of ash and steam into. the sky the ash plume generating enough static electricity to produce volcanic lightning. although one of the philippines most active volcanoes it last erupted more than 40 years ago now experts say an eruption affecting a larger area could be just hours away the ash and steam have prompted thousands of people living in towns close to the volcano to follow evacuation orders. more was all when the volcano started blasting steam we ran away up here the road

was crowded to get gas and pebbles were falling from the sky. got a little but the ash fell as far away as the capital manila some 60 kilometers north of manila airport authorities grounded all air traffic affecting dozens of domestic and international flights. but of course it's. tough to hold. as travelers wait so do the people of the philippines to see what else style volcano may have in store. for things queen elizabeth has called a royal crisis summit on a monday to discuss the future of her grandson prince harry and his wife meghan the juke and duchess of sussex now the queen is set to meet with prince harry prince charles and prince william as well as advisors to discuss the couple's plans to

step back from judy's and seat become financially financially independent. now for more on this i'm joined here in the studio by reporter sucka welcome to you could to see ordered to have a clear idea about what make it and how are you would would like to achieve through this and i suppose whether they're likely to get it. whether this is what this meeting is about to harry and megan they wish to in their own money they wish to continue their charitable duties and they want to share their time between the u.k. and canada now it's unlikely that the queen will tell them that they have to stay in the u.k. and everything continues as is but it also seems very unlikely that she would you know. to grandson so we might see some kind of part time royals but that. can have its problems. especially if you think one day they'll be cutting ribbons for the royal family the

next day they'll be making an appearance for money right you have problems with with the impartiality which the which the royals. need to have. been speculated but that they might be given a high high role in the commonwealth for example do that work from can i kind of this country. would ever is decided in this meeting on monday it might take time to implement so they might have to patients and of course this development this announcement has caused quite a stir the u.k. what's been some of the reaction well the fact that they made this announcement without the queen's without telling the queen has angered many royals they say it has forced the queen's hand it's also been known for a while that there was been a rift within it within the royal family especially between prince harry and prince william we have a court from prince william he's been he's been expressing his sadness over his brother's. announcement he's said that i've put my arm around my brother all our

lives and i can't do that anymore with separate entities but it's also been a lot of sympathy for harry and megan they've been under intense scrutiny over the last 2 years especially from the british tabloid press. they've been very open about the struggle that they've had with a lot of the coverage has been of a racist nature is the 1st person of color to be part of the royal family and she's . quite often being portrayed it's as being an outsider as being someone who doesn't really belong in the family so i think there's a lot of sympathy for for her and for the couple and people think maybe enough is enough but i think the queen will probably have the last word in this matter as well which is what happens jennifer does studio in europe or to a lesser thank you so much. sports now and in tennis novak djokovic helped seal a victory for serbia in the inaugural a.t.p. cup in sydney after defeating his long time spanish rival rafael nadal now after the singles results were tied $11.00 doubles match just side of the title track of
