mechanical fault protest is now accused the government of a cover up. in tehran the public anger remains close to the surface yet that was the day to the dictator they chant across the city and across the country it's a familiar chorus of protest as the government tries desperately to repair the damage from a perceived cover up of the truth that it mistakenly shot down a ukrainian passenger plane but yes my ass wouldn't want to have some of the officials were even accused of lying and covering up whereas honestly that was not the case you know. even the statement that i issued on thursday night it was seen as a lack of honesty. but the truth is we did not lie. after

taking 2 days to reveal the catastrophic mistake the latest government statement has been greeted by skepticism by ordinary iranians. how you had to be man you don't want to do with i was an army commander and i controlled everything you're going to do now is it possible our government with a lot of power can't control the situation but can lie about it but there's no room again but to do that. i don't know why they didn't cancel of flights i think the national security council should have made that decision and they didn't. on the outskirts of tehran a painstaking task is underway ukrainian experts pulling potts piece by piece from the tangled breakage of the airplane. the forensic process may take a month and includes investigators taking statements from eyewitnesses ukrainian

president a lot of new selenski says iran's acknowledgment of its deadly mistake was a step in the right direction at the perpetrators must be held accountable. and i'm joined now by and i got a militant zavvi she's an iranian american journalist a media analyst in washington d.c. good to see you again now it is one thing that the regime has admitted to cheating the playing down the question that because to me now what are the consequences for those who are behind this. well we're still not sure but they're definitely facing an enormous domestic crisis this was a catastrophe basically a tragedy for the government specially going back to the question why were commercial planes a lock to fly right in the night of such an important operation from the viewpoint of their own and this was a milby by there were a dozen by pulling out of tehran international airport and this would now as obvious narry dangerous situation and obvious down the street protesters many

students because we know there are many graduate students in canada are not airplanes so many of their classmates or university. mates basically are the ones meeting that and from the 1st as. high as. people in the high positions of power in the eye or to even the supreme leader to resign i don't think the resignations are going to come at the very highest level but hopefully we'll see some kind of responsibility being taken and that's what's been promised in the statement of the armed forces which is a good step towards transparency and taking responsibility but i guess we have to still wait and see how far that's that michelin and willing to go with the right search the resignation of the supreme leader by your estimation looks unlikely where does the resistance go from here. well these protests are actually in these very political radical slogans are not completely new back in november just 2

months ago we saw protests with people very raw already sparked by a hike in fuel prices but. the slogan quickly tarn a political from economic and people are just. have been taking to the street the past 2 years because of the economic situation and because of what they see as a corruption and mismanagement of the leaders and this is across the different political political factions that are in power in this last episode basically that's been asked repeated that led to did that of civilians and in a war situation and also something that both see as the mismanagement or miscommunication whatever that happened is seen as an incompetent on this day who is willing to go against the united states but then at the same time wasn't competent enough to protect its own civilians on the ground put so many u.s. aside and from washington d.c.

where you are tonight since the assassination all the general solomonic the administration when it's all said shifting rationales for that strike me saying that it was about an attack against american individuals which was imminent embassies potentially about to be attacked and we had to penton refusing to concede anything all we any closer to knowing the facts and. i don't think so as one of the senators put it he said we're not seeing evidence of this and that's had because i suspect that the evidence doesn't even exist and this is not only democratic senators and members of congress some republicans also from congress have been coming out against the administration basically asking for the justification of this massive aggression now they're warning might have retaliated once in a way to not as delayed this one specific at result but the proxy war is not going to go away and not something that's basically the big question here critics of the administration also asking and there's new reports by the way. and you see reports

today that if i am president of the assassination 7. and so i got conditioned but now we're hearing all of these contradictory reports and statements from the administration that don't really match the initial adjust the vacation that they basically gave for this very escuela tory decision and we said you know that the u.s. administration declared the revolutionary guard to be a terrorist organization its books over the course of the summer important point to make that from they've got more to zavvi joining us from washington d.c. thanks for your insights. thanks for having me i do want to bring in the other stories making news around the world the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says the talks between libya's warring factions have made good progress the rebel leader i have tar has not yet signed a cease fire agreement now lavrov says that has taiwan's to study the deal

government. or britain's queen elizabeth has agreed to grant to prince harry and his wife megan their wish for a more independent life and a statement following talks that are standing in a state the queen said that the couple will embark on a transition period and they'll divide their time between britain and canada but the issues arising from their shock announcement that they are stepping back a senior royals are still unresolved the queen says final decisions about their future will be made in the coming days. it looks like harry and meghan are going to get what they want it britain's longest reigning monarch seems to be giving in. after some challenging days for the royal family the queen has announced she will support the couple's wish for a more independent life a life between canada and great britain between financial independence and still supporting the queen. that comes after the sussex us courts the world by surprise by announcing they want half way out of the royal firm but why do they want to go

their own way when most royals stick to the play book rumors of a rift within the family has been circulating for some time. right from the beginning harry and meghan's relationship coast a whirlwind with attention from the media at times reaching a fever pitch the painful reminder for harry who lost his mother princess diana in a car accident as she was pursued by proper razzi he made it clear that he was worried for meghan's safety. more than once harry spoke out publicly against the media says it was no surprise when the couple chose to give away a few details when their son archie was born last may. and only last autumn harry and meghan made their feelings known again when they revealed publicly that they felt bullied by the press. whether the press played a part in them looking for a different life is unclear but asked the sussex this now partly go their own way

for the queen this might be the right moment to reinvent the royal firm. well the w.'s baggage mass has been following the story in london and sent us her assessment between statement about prince harry and megan's future seems very supportive mentioning the word family a few times and talking about harry as my grandson has a very warm and supportive feel to it however we still don't know what the details of this new arrangement will be how much time with the young couple is standing in the u.k. where with the income coming from and will they be able to keep the royal title however for now the royal couple is probably very happy that the queen seems willing to try a new way forward within this ancient institution that is the british monarchy. that must there reporting from london while sources in the philippines
