watching our 2 international bring your line news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. we start with breaking news this hour iran has admitted that its military unintentionally shot down the ukrainian passenger plane on wednesday to human error foreign minister zarif it happened at a time of crisis caused by u.s. adventurism tehran's investigation chief says the black box data will now be sent to france correspondent all cornered joined me earlier in the studio with the latest. well most recently we heard from the canadian prime minister who called this event a national tragedy and he also said that he expected full cooperation from iran in the investigation we also heard from ukraine's president vladimir selenski who said that he expects he expects iran's take full responsibility and for the investigation to continue without any obstruction earlier today we did hear from iran's president who promised just that and called this

a vent and an forgivable mistake the armed forces internal investigation has concluded that regrettably missiles fired you see human error coups that horrific crash of the ukrainian plane and the death of 176 innocent people investigations continue to identify and prosecute this great tragedy and unforgivable mistake now iran's president also promised compensation for the families of the victims and the country's supreme leader has called for the for the findings of this investigation to be made public now earlier we also heard from iran's foreign minister who gave actually highlighted the nother reason for why this crisis took place. aside preliminary conclusions of into an investigation biome forces human error at a time of crisis caused by us adventurism lead to disaster profound regret apologies and condolences to all people to the families of victims on to was affected nations give us a bit of background here what exactly is the foreign minister referring to well

just last week a u.s. air strike killed a high ranking high ranking could command. soleimani and that brought tensions in the region to a level that we haven't seen in decades this guy was considered a hero to many in iran as he was instrumental for the defeat of isis in syria so the government promised harsh retaliation for his death and that came in the form of several airstrikes against u.s. military bases in iraq that happened just mere hours before this plane went down so at that time the iranian military was in to supposing some sort of possible u.s. response to those strikes which explains why they thought that this airliner could have been an enemy aircraft they said that it was approaching a military installation clearly tensions were very high are there other cases of countries shooting down planes by mistake you know unfortunately when tensions are this high like you said accidents are more probable for example during the cold war in 1903 the soviet union mistakenly shot down korean air flight 007 thinking it

was a spy plane the plane went into soviet air space at the time that a u.s. reconnaissance mission was going on as well and in 1908 u.s. navy shot down and a rainy an airliner killing all $290.00 passengers because they thought it was in the rainy and fighter jet now at that time the then vice president george h.w. bush said he had nothing to apologize for and that he didn't care about the facts regarding the shooting of the plane down. we're now joined live by i said most often political analyst and tehran now the foreign minister blames the u.s. adventurism for the crisis situation that led to the human error that caused the tragedy what do you make of that. from a famous for having that well law it's true because donald trump threatened to 1st they assassinated law some silly money as you stated then they threatened that they

would retaliate against any iranian strike in reprisal for us i'm so lame on his assassination so iranian defense systems were on alert and they were expecting attacks by u.s. airplanes as stated in the office as a statement there have been reports that some hostile objects flying objects have been appearing on radar screens in some of some parts around the country so soon as they saw a plane coming to a sensitive i.r.g.c. base they have you know rushed to and jumped to the tongue pollution and fired on their normal circumstances such incidents are less prone to happen and the less probable and the especially now everyone wants to know why the plane has been approaching you know the are just a base of enough course there is

a logical explanation for that and the civil aviation organization should come away with a result after decoding and extracting information from the black box on their own all invested the investigation which is run by the civil aviation as well as international investigators they should come away with a result but it takes time but there is all ready a logical explanation why this has happened when it comes to the black box we've learned now that it will be sent to france for analysis why do you think it's not happening on iranian soil. well let's remember that. force's statement explains that the plane has dived down and made a sudden turn to the right to make a ute there and most probably to make a u. turn back to the tehran airport. a repairman maintenance records of the flight show that there has been something wrong with a. radar and radio systems of the ukrainian plane and the

radar system and the radio equipment of the plane must have been malfunctioning or stop operation that explains why the pilot has left the safe international civilian court either or dive down turn try to make it. you know you turn back to him i mean the airport in tehran in order to avoid losing sight of the airport you know it's very highly dangerous and rather impossible to find another rumbly or airport if you have lost radar equipment and transponder equipment and that explains why the pilot has failed to establish a contact with the tower of the tehran airport under such circumstances let's let's let's remember that you are 'd in charge of air defense you stand on your own in iran that defense units operate on their you know independently and based on the

command of each unit and not the central command or the headquarters of i.r.g.c. airspace or the all forces wynnie iran wants to go on offensive like what happened last week with regard to the attack on the u.s. base in iraq the high the highest ranking officials of the country and all forces should issue the command before defense that's not the case and each unit operates independently to diffuse this threat therefore the guy that has been sitting there . and receiving reports that. around the country there have been sighting of some hostile aircraft coming and on their situations a few hours after the missile attack they were expecting american missiles american aircraft coming he has you know jump to the conflict and when he has seen that a plane away from the civilian corydoras diving down lowering altitude very fast and coming to the i.r.g.c. base an f. course this doesn't mean that the guy in charge or all those in charge of the air

defense. are clean no they shoot stanch roiled there is already an investigation iran's persecuted general has issued a statement to the armed forces calling for immediate and fast action to you know deal with all those responsible with this happening with this regrettable and unforgivable 'd mistake that has cost the lives of 176 people and initially iran denied any possibility that the plane had been shot down saying that it was scientifically impossible and yet now we have this admission why do you think they made that denial in the 1st place. well what was said was by the civil aviation organization the civil aviation organization doesn't have any kind of its excess to the secret information of the armed forces this statement

that came to day was by the iranian armed forces and they have done and independent investigation of their own personnel independent from the flights and from the civil aviation organization and they have they have come up with their with their result on their own side of the story it's good that they didn't wait for the civil aviation organization and the international team of inspectors and investigators to come up with a result because it would take weeks or months for them to extract data from the black box and come away with a final report so they have cut short you know this this way and they've haste and investigations on their own side of the story out there they they they they were there were some theories and asylum sions that there might have been a strike a missile strike and they came away with a conclusion

a couple of days yesterday they have come up with a final results and presented it to the iranian leader and the president who called for an immediate and urgent meeting of the supremes national security council they were already you know they. had their results late at midnight and because the papers were already out they waited till early this morning to. publicize the story and the report and of course and i reiterate that this is only half of the story that has been announced by the iranian forces on their own side we should also wait for the civil aviation organization an international team of investigators to let us know exactly why that plane has dived down and left the international civilian corridor that i just. i just explained one of the logical assumption is that that could have happened. at this point we've had

reaction from both current ukraine and canada calling for a full and open investigation and to bring those responsible to justice but what kind of reaction do you think we'll see from the us has had the finger of blame more or less pointed at them as well from iran well for sure the united states would go for justifying all its actions donald trump would justify for claiming that all the information that he has already been giving to the public with regard to the missile attack on a sad. sad airbase in iraq has been true because they have not let the public know about the developments in that airbase they have sealed the base to all foreign parties including iraqi government iraqi army for their 1st 2 any 4 hours in order to you know avoid the leaking of any

kind of information lay there or they came up with the result that no one has been hurt and that attack while there have been opposite reports contradicting reports saying that tens of u.s. military have lost their lives. and hundreds more have been wounded. in those missile attacks and now they could rely on this development in order to claim that they're all the information that they've been presenting about you know. the vellum and. with regard to the missile attack have been true and they could raise probably more credibility for their statements in this regard they've been speaking with sad must off like a political analyst and tehran thank you. the u.s. secretary of state is forced to field some inconvenient fashions over the assassination of iran's top general and iraqi prosecutors demanding us to stop

interfering stories after this short break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

right. here watching r t international for any of you just joining us here's a short reminder of our breaking news this hour iran has admitted that its military an intentionally shot down ukraine's passenger plane on wednesday to human error a military statement carried by state media also says the plane was mistaken for a hostile target terence investigation chief says the black box data will now be sent to france for analyzing ukraine's president has directed by calling on iran to

admit full responsibility for shooting down the plane but iran's foreign minister blames the whole crisis on us adventurism the us secretary of state has defended washington's decision to assassinate iran's top general during a news conference my company struggled to explain the alleged threat posed by gen somani as he was grilled by journalists and house more. things got quite easy at the press conference where we saw mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state speaking alongside steve minutia in the secretary of treasury and this comes just a week after the killing of iran's top general qassam solomonic and as the press asked questions got particularly tense mike pompei o seemed a little bit uncomfortable trying to answer the questions of journalists who just don't seem to buy his claim that the killing of solomonic was necessary to protect american lives let's take a listen to some of what went on if you have specific information about it in the threat and didn't have anything to do with our embassy. we had specific emanation

information on an imminent threat and those threats trim included attacks on u.s. embassies what is your definition of it in that. this was going to happen in american lives are at risk the intelligence community is not flawless we we get it wrong in this case the intelligence community got it fundamentally right there was an imminent attack that was active plotting is that right now gone with sort of money gone threats are never going now it wasn't just the journalists who don't exactly buy pompei as claims but american lawmakers also have their doubts we just saw in the u.s. house of representatives the lower house of the u.s. legislative branch a resolution was passed attempting to restore it to the activities of the trumpet ministration and trying to prevent them from further escalating tensions with the islamic republic of iran however these doubts about whether it was the right thing

in order to kill qassam solomonic go well beyond legislators and journalists they actually go to the us public itself we have new poll results that have been conducted and it shows that basically 2 thirds of the u.s. public believes at this point that the country is less safe because of trump's decision to kill the top iranian general furthermore 69 percent. cent of the u.s. public believes that iran is more likely to attack the usa as a result of trump's decisions 52 percent describe trump killings qassam solomonic as reckless so a pretty solid opposition to trump's killing of qassam solomonic among american people themselves while at the press conference mike peo and steve minutia laid out basically what these new sanctions will include the new sanctions are targeting high level officials in iran basically preventing any business transactions with them but when explaining these new sanctions a mike bomb peo use some rather interesting language to lay out what he argued was

the ultimate end game of the united states when it comes to iran the president said we don't want war we want iran to behave like a noble nation the reason that secretary treasurer this morning is to continue this campaign our strategic effort to get to run to behave in a way that doesn't continue their 40 year long effort to terrorize the world if you hear those words he refers to saying that he wants iran to be a quote normal country so essentially it seems the united states is ask a lady threats and carrying out more sanctions with the goal of forcing the islamic republic to conduct itself in a manner that the united states considers to be normal not exactly clear what that means but until that happens there will be further activities and sanctions and threats and whatnot now many are hoping that the current situation is in a state of deescalation but at the same time people worry about what could happen next you know the sanctions still remain iran still has the capabilities we saw the

recent strikes that took place so a lot of nervousness in the global community at the moment i think air is still on sanctions at this point but i will get around to that again despite the fact that we dodged a bullet about going to war with iran our last few days were still in the same set piece positions where we were before and. all these guys around the president can think of it how do we turn the screws more more backs mum pressure more and more info and this is the next thing i can do a lot of this of this remember is aimed at the europeans i think a lot of this is toward pressuring the europeans to side with the americans in this full pressure campaign. meanwhile there is growing concern among iraqis that the country is becoming a battleground between the u.s. and iran thousands of people took to the streets of baghdad on friday calling for an end to foreign interference.

demonstrators waving iraqi flags chanting no to america no 2 in iraq's caretaker prime minister has demanded that the u.s. make preparations for a troop pullout but washington has made it clear that's not going to happen but rather stay for good as our 2 senior correspondent ryan gosling or 4. of us are familiar with the situation you invite someone over to say a friend they stay and stay and stay you drop a hint you know it's getting late on the head but they just don't get it. america is a force for good in the middle east and a delegation sam to iraq would be dedicated to discussing how to be recommit to our strategic partnership not to discuss troop withdrawal what complicates things is that your unwelcome guest is heavily armed and has a tendency to how do you put this kill your other guests you call make this up

americans kill an iranian general in iraq iran then shoots back a bunch of ballistic missiles in revenge out of iraq i mean these poor rocky guys they've done nothing and everyone's bombing them so you can understand if they're a little sick of it all and point to the door we want to restart the civil war again among the shia we don't want this to happen we are not a battlefield between the usa and iran so whoever wants to heed the usa should do that outside of this country. that all of these troops must leave because they have turned iraq into a battlefield and it's astonishing the americans are saying no we don't care that you voted for us to leave we won't and just in case that wasn't enough of a slap in the face actually going to call more of their friends over to iraq nato played and then you have any middle east you know they told me i said what

a beautiful name nato personnel in the region to know you're supposed to us to be honest with you because this is an international problem. today and need to delegation is at the state department to discuss increasing nature's role in the iraq situation is absurd it makes a joke a mockery of international law and simple decency and as does anything absurd has the internet buzzing. america is a force for good in the middle east and we'll start a civil war to prove you need our protection given military forces the against the wishes of the people who live there it's called occupation when we said we wanted to bring you democracy we did not mean you can't use it to make your own decisions iraq asks u.s. troops to leave the country but president pompei o refuses instead his state department issues

a statement the 1st sentence reads america is a force for good in the middle east remember if you say i am so cool then you're not cool there's a lesson here i suppose you can't be friends with a superpower they'll call your friend patch on the head but when push comes to shove you're just another poor bombed out nation that's going to do as you're told the middle east rider. and political analyst. there was their reaction to the increasingly messy 3 way conflict. the critics as you know well fighting for isis in iraq we don't want them to come back but this is completely fabricated excuses to be honest because this is that. it is it is that i shammed it is there is that it isn't yet it is at all if you will simply and this is there and very

completely you know i don't believe there is a chance of this i mean. unless you have to. come back and do $12.00 climbers then this is the only the only way for those to come back. that i'm going to pull out. of here today and actually i'm going to lucian. this is all part of the ratcheting up trying to show that iran is the one line that state iran is doing things which are not really in the interest of the public and you know usa is good for the world but really i would like to say that you know what mr. trump was saying that they took every but i think what would be a really good titan is that r. and b. islamic republic middle east without the usa there then all the problems that we have would disappear and then we could get to some truthful conversation and having

a narrative which has some basis and logic and basis to end the communication. lastly we bring you a short reminder of our breaking news story iran has admitted that its military unintentionally shot down ukraine's passenger plane on wednesday to human error military statement carried by state media also says the plane was mistaken for a hostile target around investigation chief says the black box data will now be sent to france for analysis ukraine's president has reacted by calling on iran to meet for responsibility for shooting down the plane but iran's foreign minister blames the whole crisis on u.s. inventor. i'm of more analysis on the downing of that passenger plane along with today's other headline news at the top of the hour thanks for tuning in.

but if she warned you can i do the dishes at the bottom or those jeans nudist beach and if she me we need to. come up and when you guys e.q.'s will be home in years i mean that without infringing ball. a lot of kewl says was it parts about who can teach us both are the most called. it as a middle eastern. event. here in chick equal cabinet 5 days doing this in. english 98 for people who simply knew. she would include in total.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped by one person. who dares thinks. we dared to ask.
