abu dhabi and the uae affected by this instability.uestion is, how will soleimani's death affect what is an already extremely fragile part of the world. >> immensely, i think is the one-word answer. it affects that fragility immen immensely. the call is in the iranian's court. they will respond. you go back to the incidents in 1988, when the u.s. in the persian gulf accidentally shot down an iranian passenger jet, killing more than 200 people. it was nine months later that a pipe bomb was placed under the vehicle of the captain of that ship at his home in san diego. now, it narrowly missed killing his wife. but it just shows you the lengths that iran will go to, not just in this region, but beyond and the time it will wait to pick a point and place of its choosing to execute revenge. you could go on to the list of responses from "uss vinsens" have linked it to the downing of the pan am 103 jet over lockerbie in scotland in december 1988. there's a real concern that when you kill somebody like soleimani, the reaction is going to be seve

our international diplomatic editor nic robertson in riyadh, and sam kiley in abu dhabi.k, first to you. the calls we're hearing from european leaders urging restraint, the question here, do they really have the leverage to make a difference here? sk and are there any off-ramps for de-escalation from your vantage point in the coming future? >> reporter: if we take at face value president trump's tweets, then the british, the french and the germans who issued the joint statement calling for -- not to ratchet up tensions further are whistling in the wind because president trump is tweeting that he is willing to strike cultural sites, said that he is willing to demand money from iraq if u.s. troops are forced to pull out. all those speeches ratcheting up tensions and destabilization in the region. the reality is cooler heads and calmer thoughts may prevail behind closed doors, but there is no indication at the moment that there is a diplomatic off-ramp. what we understand from the iraqi prime minister yesterday is that qassem soleimani in the hours before he had been killed

reporting from abu dhabi.s. >>> from banks to the power grid, companies are scrambling to make sure they are protected from a cyberattack from iran. a reminder that iran has more than ballistic missiles in its arsenal. experts say universities, fuel pipelines, telecom networks, and water supply could be some of the targets. we have seen an attack from iran before. in 2013 the iranians were able to hack a dam outside of new york city and gain control of the floodgates. yesterday the department of homeland security told companies to close any old or weak portals to the wider internet and to scan for where they need software patches. >>> boeing says it will recommend pilots receive simulator training before flying the troubled 737 max jet again. boeing's earlier man was to provide additional training on a tablet. the 737 max has been grounded since last march following those two fatal crashes. boeing announced last month it was halting production of the jet. plans for simulator training will likely delay the plan

cnn's emerging markets editor is live in abu dhabi. folks i talked to say they don't expect an outright armed conflict, a conventional war that shuts down oil production or closes the strait of hormuz, but the uncertainty of what retaliation could be is a real problem here. >> reporter: it certainly is. it almost sounds cliche investors don't like risk and not surprisingly oil prices are up nearly 2% for both wti in the united states and the international bench mark. in terms of the international bench mark we were above $70 a barrel at some point. that's about the highest level in more than six months. a flight to safety at the same time with gold prices up nearly 2% at the highest levels since 2013. silver up better than 1%. and again we saw asian markets down. tokyo the biggest loser in asia down nearly 2%. but i wouldn't call it panic selling. iran, do they limit their attacks onto u.s. embassies, potentially u.s. jet liners flying to the middle east or do they reach out and try to strike u.s. allies in the region like saudi arabia

let's go live to abu dhabi and bring in cnn's nick robertson. >> reporter: what we heard from the iranianss talk about one missile hitting it. there was one brief statement from the president right after they announced this talking about missiles but the narrative from iran has clearly been about one missile strike on the aircraft. this new video reveals perhaps really horrific last moments for those onboard. the second missile hits 20 seconds after the first one, so it seems to have been fired because the aircraft obviously didn't come down which speaks to horrific moments onboard that aircraft for everyone there. this speaks also to the less than transparent nature of the investigation that the iranians say they're going to carry out and are carrying out. on top of that we've heard from the ukrainian investigators today saying they are now requesting the black boxes from the iranians. they're going public with this request. the iranians are saying they'll send someone to ukraine to check out whether the ukrainians have the facilities to do this. again this undermines the international fa

for that we're joined by nic robertson in abu dhabi.ertainly people in the streets of tehran are very upset with the leadership there, understandably, nic. >> the iranian leadership took the decision to come clean on downing the ukrainian passenger jet and cost them international pressure. we heard there from the prime minister of canada, justin trudeau, that what he says is this is a very good first step for iran and many more first steps need to be taken and clarity needs to be taken and lead to closure for the families of victims of that flight. but perhaps the pressing issue while they deal with this international attention and demand for a full and thorough investigation. it's the domestic pressure that iran is perhaps going to feel in the most immediate term here by announcing that they had downed this aircraft and one of the leading commanders involved saying he had requested that civilian aircraft should be grounded for today. that puts the iranian leadership in a position of appearing callus towards their own citizens on a gran

to abu dhabi and sam kiley is there. the response from iranian leaders so far as you've seen with threats and now a major announcement that they're no longer going to be abiding by any limits that were agreed to in the 2015 nuclear deal. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, the interesting thing about this nuclear deal is that it was the united states, of course, under donald trump that tore the deal up and the iranians tried to stick to it whilst arguably trying to put pressure via attacking tankers in the gulf of hormuz, support for the houthis, blamed for rocket attacks against saudi arabia, to try to force the united states' hand. that didn't work out, not least for the killing of mr. soleimani. now we have -- general soleimani -- now we have the hezbollah faction inside iraq, backed by iran, openly threatening to close the straits of hormuz if there is any further military action by the united states. this causing extreme anxiety, right across this region, with the prince salman, the deputy defense minister, for

. >> and i'm becky anderson in abu dhabi. anxiety and uncertainty seem to be the prevailing mood right now across the middle east, indeed in much of the world following the u.s. drone strike that killed iran's top military commander. >> indeed, the death of qasem soleimani early on friday sent shockwaves around the globe. tehran vowing harsh revenge. but there's no clear idea yet exactly what that might mean. right now a funeral procession getting under way in baghdad. >> despite dramatically raising the risk of an all-out conflict, the trump administration apparently has no qualms about taking out soleimani. u.s. officials say intelligence pointed to soleimani plotted imminent attacks against americans. here's what the president said on friday. >> we take comfort in knowing that his reign of terror is over. we took action last night to stop a war. we did not take action to start a war. >> tehran obviously doesn't see it that way. iran's ambassador to the united nations says as far as it's concerned, the u.s. drone strike was

>> well, we know it well because it's only a five-hour drive from abu dhabi.t's got a fantastic view going across the strait to iran. it is fascinating. it's the choke point, if you will, to the world. in fact, president trump wants others to share in the burden of policing it because of the 100 million barrels a day consumed around the world, a fifth of it comes from oil producers around the strait. it is used as the key passage point to the rest of the world. if you had problems there and the uae minister of energy told me in an interview yesterday we could see prices shooting up well above $100 a barrel. a decade ago it was $140 a barrel because of demand but also chaos here in the region. the president wants to have it both ways. he wants the americans to still have influence in this region, but he's talking about burden sharing, so we have already britain and japan policing the ships going out of the strait. he's now calling on nato to do the same. the u.s. has all these troops here, but what's going to be the foreign policy of donald trump in the future

cnn's nick robertson is following the story from abu dhabi for us. we've seen images of protesters stomping on pictures of qassem soleimani and walking around the u.s. flag. what is going on? >> reporter: this is a major protest against the government in iran and quite simply because so many people now believe that the leadership doesn't care about them. the downing of that ukrainian jet is an example of it, a huge and hurtful and painful example of it. why? because the leadership in iran had the opportunity that night they were attacking u.s. bases to ground civilian aircraft. they didn't, and that means that so many canadians and so many iranians lost their lives. the brightest and the best of them among them, those making new lives and new careers overseas, and that's really angered people here. a few weeks ago we were looking at protests on the streets of iran where people were angry with the government again for treating them how they felt as second class to the regime's ideals of sort of overseas adventures, of qassem soleimani's killings overs
