you're watching are to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 1 pm welcome to the program. we start with our breaking news story iran has admitted that its military unintentionally shot down the ukrainian passenger plane on wednesday to human error tehran's investigation chief says the black box data will now be sent to france artie's correspondent paula corner joined me in the studio earlier 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 is a lead skier 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 on forgivable mistake. the armed forces internal investigation has
5:02 am
concluded that regrettably missiles fired u.g. human error caused the 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 another 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 oh well just last week a u.s. airstrike killed a high ranking high ranking could command. soleimani and that brought tensions in
5:03 am
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
5:04 am
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. for further analysis we now cross live to retired squadron leader and the pakistani air force now from a military point of view what do you make of a civilian airport being so close to a missile launch site. 1st of all i'm extremely grateful for you giving me the opportunity to speak and extreme caution to the people who have lost their relatives very candidly there are a few factors that drive a very important one despairing one accident or the shoot down of this situation or
5:05 am
tonight of your many a delete. causal factor which to build causation t.d.'s that come across in this case if it gets closed to a clause vicinity of the vicinity of a military installation and as mention does an abrupt maneuver. didley with all the guns cocked emotions raised high and everybody ready for flight this was bound to happen by dressed to short we really have to understand why leads to this situation in which the gin of command in the military is overrun oil has some misgiving some weird which resulted into a launch of this missile and shooting down of the p.s. $75.00 to it alignment. as you mentioned tensions were extremely high and the military was on full alert so why do you think civilian flights were cancelled before iran's military switched to that for combat readiness.
5:06 am
i certainly would relate this to a fact that is once again well known and strategic at its become tactical blunders distracted of that regularly being ordered closing down the us under extreme circumstances. avoided this war and that of your i don't know how why what was going through the period of iran that died one thin dime i was going to display to redial on the language stage this seeming aircraft of the same squawk was headline news 130 minutes prior act they had on and i was taking off so this is i know a lot of for that would have been it had been coming in and had been flying with all mittens flying so this is one factor that needs a lot different standing and in-depth analysis to run came out with
5:07 am
a statement saying that the plane was mistaken for a hostile target that it was the same height and shape of a hostile aircraft saying that the u.s. aircraft were actually in the vicinity of the airport as well where the plane crashed so is this just a case of the perfect storm. well it does not. in any context because if we understand if there's a project dial dates coming in a dag be a hit that died again it will be obvious coming high to law not to law too high so this project. was was picking off and going towards t.v. the previous $75.00 being specific it was all indra deletion when the trafficking off so if i don't believe it had any inkling of generally being triggered in any alarm bell lives in iran is a military hierarchy anyway is. the foreign minister zarif blames us adventurism
5:08 am
for the crisis situation that then led to the human error that caused this tragedy what do you make of that statement. well adventurism yes once again as i've mentioned before it's all b.s. and jennifer event a big crash in accident in this one specific fact the initiation was by americans to the assassination of general carson for their money and that it. drum from the iranian soil of the. bases that put it back so these are 2 initial factors white what we need to have to grasp here is the concept that was coined by clausewitz no one as the fog of war whenever we have. been there are you aware that we had bound to have mentioned breezed guns
5:09 am
cog troll just ready to fight the it will be said that yours appear to be higher to be this and the big picture to how to diffuse this scenario on how to deescalate this i believe that onions have taken the 1st step i would certainly. understand and relate this to mrs lace do see analysis of this admission or for it by the iranians that they have made this mistake and it's a blunder that they've done shouldn't have happened by the initiation process of this whole accident in which $176.00 people were lost was done by the americans of the video and yes that is true iran's president has of course called the incident unforgettable mistake and has promised a 4 probe into the case what do you think that will mean for those who are responsible. we did in the military
5:10 am
as. it is it is a very loud situation because now this is an international event in the military the rules of engagement are very clear the the blame's or for that matter the people are the designation is responsible for these misgivings are entered into the big release they will be held responsible and justin trudeau has very specifically said prime minister of canada that people have to be brought to the international international frank people have to ignore what went wrong really went wrong and i would certainly like to mention one thing that this is a this is a rather rude he meant the surface to air missile system we've been speaking with a homicide retired squadron leader and the pakistani air force thank you for your time and your comments. here's a reminder of how the tragedy unfold it. no
5:11 am
well the intel on the right side of the airplane and one then talked with complete finalist i think the public meeting not to hold a presidential hands it's the plane crash landed in lot of the park and destroyed the fence before then it took off again and exploded and was completely incinerated when you know the key was watching the news of the rainy and getting into a spacesuit with missiles on t.v. 10 minutes i heard a massive explosion and the house is still to shake it was fine it's like the 1st i thought the american since you were. in the went into the basement. when towns would sort of flame have rushed over their body parts were lying around .
5:12 am
in some support for what my oldest son is a stupid daughter called me from the us she told me the new craning aircraft crashed she also where eagle flew i said to to run a national to the plane crash. still to come in the program the u.s. secretary of state is forced to field some inconvenient questions over the assassination of iran's top general and iraqi protesters demand the u.s. and iran to stop interfering their stories after the break. the world is driven by dream shaped by one person or those with.
5:13 am
thinks. we dare to ask. you know world of big partners. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the little for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
5:14 am
welcome back to the program for any of you just tuning in here's a quick recap of our breaking news this hour iran has admitted that its military unintentionally shot down ukraine's passenger plane on wednesday due to human error a military statement carried by state media also says the plane was mistaken for air hostile targets to rounds investigation chief says the black box will now go to france for analysis ukraine's president has reacted by calling on iran to admit full responsibility for shooting down the plane but iran's foreign minister blames the whole crisis on u.s. adventurism. u.s. secretary of state has defended washington's decision to assassinate iran's top general 3 news conference my pump struggled to explain the alleged threat posed by gen somani as he was grilled by journalists and has more. things got quite easy at the press conference where we saw mike pompei o the u.s.
5:15 am
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 the internet and didn't have anything to do with our embassy. we had specific emanation information on an imminent threat and those threats from 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
5:16 am
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
5:17 am
a result of trump's decisions 52 percent describe trump killings qassam solomonic as reckless so a pretty solid opposition to trump killing and qassam solomonic among american people themselves while at the press conference mike peo and steve minutiae 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 used some rather interesting language to lay out what he argued was the ultimate end game of the united states when it comes to iran president said we don't want war we want iran to be hit with a noble mission 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
5:18 am
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 what not 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 you know 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
5:19 am
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 chanted no to america no to iran meanwhile iraq's caretaker prime minister has demanded that the u.s. make preparations for a troop pullout washington has made it clear that's not going to happen but rather stay for good as our 2 senior correspondent my guns here 4. of us are familiar with the situation you invite someone over to say
5:20 am
a friend they stay and stay and stay you drop a hint you know it's getting late in the tug 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 arabian 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
5:21 am
again among the shia we don't want this to happen we're not a battlefield between the usa and iran so whoever wants to hear the usa should do that outside of this country. all of these troops must leave because they have turned iraq into a battlefield 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 made to delegation is that 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 there's anything absurd
5:22 am
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 the superpower they'll call your friend patch on the head but when push comes to shove you are just another poor
5:23 am
bombed out nation that's going to do as you're told well this writer abdel bari atwan and political analysts shabbir razvi gave us their reaction to the increasingly messy a 3 way conflict. the pretext is you know we're all fighting for isis and there are 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 is a year. and this is there and very complete you know i don't believe there is a chance of this i mean. unless you have to. come back and do one or 2 climbers then this is the only the only way for those that say 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 mind state iran is
5:24 am
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 of the problems that we have will 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. we wrap up with the latest on our breaking news this hour a senior commander of iran's elite military unit the islamic revolutionary guards corps has accepted for responsibility for shooting down ukraine's passenger plane on wednesday also extended his apologies to the nation earlier tehran admitted that
5:25 am
its military unintentionally hit the jet due to human error and military statement carried by state media also says the plane was mistaken for a hostile target iran's 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 admit for sponsibility as it has now done but iran's foreign minister blames the whole crisis on us and ventress of that's our global news for now thanks for tuning in. bad guys are financial survival guide liquid those that you can convert an insignia as quite easily. to keep in mind though as if i'm into a place to watch guys record. good food descriptions sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose
5:26 am
the pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out may not be a sophie people belief we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders allergies we are actually creating these problems and it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets less treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability. turkcell or transitional sustainable prize board sustainability stay number man or

is making gains quickly and those leads are on full display at the consumer electronics show has been job or is on the ground and gives us a key into what's on show in las vegas we have a packed show today and so let's go and jump right in. the world's largest plane maker boeing released hundreds of pages of internal documents to congress on thursday the messages contained in these internal communication documents showed employees disparaging the flight simulators the safety and. duction of the $737.00 max this is the latest blow to the american company for a $737.00 max that has been grounded since march of last year after flaws in the plane software caused 2 crashes that killed $346.00 people the stock is now plunging 1.5 percent today in trading bringing the total market cap losses since march to over $62000000000.00 for more we bring in our respondents who joins us here in studio so sara over 100 pages of documents were released what do these
5:30 am
contain well boy released these documents over a 100 pages to congress where they were walking regulations and the selves what it did was it showed the employees discussing and really concerned and distrusting that 737 max so the exchange happened between 2013 and 20 team they happened before those deadly the 2 deadly crashes but let me show you what some of these people wrote one employee wrote this airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys now another colleague would you put your family on a mac simulator training aircraft i wouldn't another employee wrote an e-mail with subject line flight transition cost and really stressing the importance of holding firm that there would not be any type of simulator training that was required when transitioning from the 737 and the 800 to the max but again these documents essentially confirm that employees were concerned over limited training for these airlines upgrading from the 737.
