a particularly brutal moment and there is no question that there's a small number of people in the toryo bring her down since the day that she moved in. some of them were supporters of the person who followed her in next. when we look back at this, and of course, the whole brexit chapter of uk history is going to be pored over for many years to come, but already now with the benefit of hindsight, you could... i'm often asked — does the eu regret not giving david cameron more when he asked for reform? does the eu regret not giving theresa may more at the juncture at the beginning of 2019 that could have kept a more moderate brexit than the more hard—line conservatives who are now in government? and actually, on both occasions, the answer is no for the europeans because when it came down to david cameron, it would have meant breaking up those eu fundamental rules about freedoms, he wanted to get rid of the freedom of movement for the uk. that was not something that the eu could countenance, because once you give that up forthe uk, everyone else would demand it as well. or demand fiddling

when we're considering this this new research royal ascot the tory leadership state. what do you qualities do you require to. as the winner of this race well it's very like studying the the results of any race you have to look at. the form over a course and distance of the class look at the ownership the trainers you've got to make all of these assessments can they cope with the going of they've been taking any noxious substances all of these that matters need to be taken into account the main breck's cakes was that this westminster parliament was meant to be so pretty against a somewhat mythologized view of the european union to then abolish that very parliament to get through brics it i think will be a not too far but when you say can these disparate people unite around their opposition to that without hesitation yes all the debates are about the mechanisms how do you stop a government from doing such a thing how do you stop a government determined to go out with a no deal with that's what happens. but are they theoretically united to stop the progress of parliament

you are a very ardent tory party watcher. what is the tory party going to fight about any more?g to fight about any more? how's it going to the culture? i do detect the election was a court arising moment however you voted. a sense that people do want to move on and, yeah, forthe sense that people do want to move on and, yeah, for the tory party, this has been going on for the past 50 years. i think it is... those who stayed in the tory party, and many of us have added debate about whether to stay in the tory party as a result of this, but those of us who have i think feel a different mood in the party in a different mood in the party in a different mood in the country. one quick final thing. when! mood in the country. one quick final thing. when i do have, why not? it's probably my thing it's going to be... laughter applause there is a thought! let's take another question from jane fowler because this is a question of very significant constitutional bearing... what will be the fate of adam's binders once brexit is done? they multiplied and had babies tonight! but did i not see

the tory are the er g think of that?me if they were to see authority —— austerity relaxed. now conservatives, they not to be hodgepodge. even though labour is often far left, adding lights about how it stays relevant for voters. we shall part that before sienna maybe ta kes shall part that before sienna maybe takes offence. but stay with you, asa. the daily mail is going beyond this new virus that's coming in from china. uk on killer virus alert. it's pretty strong stop. many of the papers are going full in on this. world war flew in the sun, the daily mail is similarly strident talking about the death toll doubling. responsible courses of action for the nas and questions raised about what i british officials doing, some people complaining they just what i british officials doing, some people complaining theyjust got leaflets instead of detaining and pulling aside. having the temperature forcibly ta ken. pulling aside. having the temperature forcibly taken. they wa nted temperature forcibly taken. they wanted to see some

little has been done to develop the police us to make tories feel confortable when they come in year and i really doubt that if that was really happening because our tories were not one to recommend another person to come here the next time because the police really does not look hospitable for 4 tories so i think that it's really important for the government to put feet on the ground and to see how they can develop it it can really being a substantial income more an italian americans have treated a sister route to travel route. rescissions see what and 10 percent of all africans who left the continent went through bia. at least 200 chiefs involved in the transatlantic slave trade here. is a descendant of deuce who once lived in the sleeve in which he walks or part time as a tall guy every body have to contribute but he decides to see. also for me i try to create a group. think more they use of these contacts to visit the site because many. actually meet. face made into being. so the world is trying not to forget the events that took place here maybe you could help inspire young peop

that sore that has pushed out tory leader after tory leader. but the eu won'tjust disappear.t to embark on this hugely important negotiation about what kind of future relationship we will have with the eu that's going to affect every business, every part of the country. like half of the country, i shall feel sad on friday and the other half will probably be celebrating, but we all have to accept the outcome. acceptance is not the same as accommodation. cheering. remember what this was like — day after day, night after night, cheers and arguments? they seem faint echoes now. politics is different, already very different, but that does not mean that the tensions and concerns in our country have just melted away. the question of our departure is settled, but a lot is not. our history is written one chapter at a time. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. the scottish parliament has voted in favour of holding another referendum on scottish independence, calling on westminster to reach agreement on how that vote should take place before the end of this year. but the vote is not

the truth is, mr speaker, that it is the tory party and tory ministers who cause such damage to our policetheir numbers. it is widely known that they cut more than 20,000 police officers. so to be boasting that you're putting the numbers up now when you cut them in the first place, it will not sit well with our constituents. labour's promise in the 2017 election and its pledge to increase police after years of government cuts, resonated alot of residents and the public. i take the current government's pledge as something of a tribute to our work. a tribute tojeremy corbyn‘s leadership of the labour party in opposition. she said knife crime was at its highest on record with poor conviction rates for rape and other serious crimes. a home office minister highlighted his own hands on experience of tackling crime. i was deputy mayor for policing in london between 2008 and 2012 as we were wrestling with a terrible rise in the serious violence across the capital. and i can still remember the devastation on the face of the father of the 14—year—old who was stabbed to death in queens park in march

tory for the trumpet mr ok and again we are waiting for the president to deliver a statement there at the white house and alexander i want to bring you in on that question as well you know if the u.s. sees its presence in iraq as crucial to its own national security what are the voices are speaking to there in washington saying about how crucial that u.s. presence in iraq really is is this something that the president would be willing to reconsider. well here actually was asked by reporters of yesterday if he would consider this options and he said that actually he would be very interested as he has always repeat to stew in bringing to us troops back home however he things that right now it's not to derived a time to do that because it would to mean that iran quit expand its a for to trent across the region that was one of the reasons he mentioned much he also said that he thing stats of the you ass has invested it's a lot in iraq's to of to build up in the democracy there they build spaces they participate if participated and actually let's the anti ices coalition and so he's point o

norman, some tory mps considering rebelling?ly tells you all you need to know about how divisive and controversial hs2 is, that just a few weeks after boris johnson's resounding election victory, seemingly winning the undying gratitude of tory mps, a clutch of them are now preparing as it were to rush to the barricades to rebel against him over hs2 if, as 110w rebel against him over hs2 if, as now seems likely, he gives it the go—ahead. some because they think it isa go—ahead. some because they think it is a colossal waste of cash, the bill has gone from 50 billion to nearer 100 billion. 0thers bill has gone from 50 billion to nearer 100 billion. others in southern seats resent the damage being caused by the building of a line through their constituencies, and some in the north take the view it is better to spend the money on improving existing lines rather than building a spanking new line to london, which northern voters might only take who knows once in a month, if ever. will they be able to stop the line? no, because borisjo

which means that the breakthrough frett to the tory voters has really capsized a little bit what was your point you said that if there was such a deal that it would be plain sailing for potus johnson but it might go for i says it was a unilateral deal with the much of a deal when he withdraws these candidates and and doesn't think for it well i was right about the deal and whether it's you know lunch or or behind closed doors it doesn't matter what far as has done as given is given the. the tories a clear run in $317.00 seats now there's still a slight problem here because in some of the other marginal seats the far as threat could still be something of a problem but find launch they've got that clear run there is another deal as well which we've forgotten about the lib dems the greens and clyde come with us nationalists but that's virtually irrelevant only apply country where expecting to win many seats and can't for example and so as a result of that we've got the exact deal i thought was necessary to get the conservatives the overall majority was a project of the last time at the

and with the uk's exit from the eu just hours away, a tory mp proposes a new bank holiday to mark theritain voted for brexit. to be called united kingdom day, so that the country can celebrate sovereignty and the union of our four great nations. earlier this week, donald trump set out what he called the "most detailed peace plan ever offered for the middle east", describing it as a "win—win" for both the israelis and the palestinians. he proposed what he called "a realistic" two—state solution, setting out an independent palestinian state and the recognition israeli sovereignty over west bank settlements. standing alongside israeli pm benjamin netanyahu, mr trump said his proposals "could be the last opportunity" for palestinians. the palestinian president mahmoud abbas dismissed the plans as a "conspiracy". borisjohnson meanwhile described the idea as having "the merit of a two—state solution". labour asked for a minister to come to the commons to answer questions on the issue, and the shadow foreign secretary was scathing about the proposals. it destroys any prospect of an independe

bricks it done however north of the border things did not go according to johnson fun with half the tory seats crashing and burning the other unionist parties did even worse with labor just to install the cheese seat and the liberals losing their you keep party leader said however that is no sign that borders johnson is prepared to buy to s.n.p. government demands for the powers to hold another referendum or indeed have to as it's known in scotland these are the exchanges a prime minister's questions the prime minister is a democracy was the way to the final straw was his calling privately admit this position is undemocratic unacceptable and completely unsustainable the prime minister has showed an utter contempt for scottish democracy your school the parliament for scotland's people to speak or it was not only the right honorable gentleman who leads the s.n.p. in this house it was also alex salmond and his protege nicholas sturgeon who said at the time of the referendum that it was a once in a generation to any city they said it they the right thing why they changed their mind here is t

do you have any tory friends and parliaments? not really, no. iam tory friends and parliaments?you are putting yourself forward as labour leader, but of course, is also a potential prime minister. how do you thank you would handle that? i mean, you said like millions of us, one of your favourite things to do on a friday night, you get to take away, sit down with the family, can you imagine doing that in number ten? you come in the way of my netflix and chinese take away on a friday night, probably wasn't excited enough when i said that them i don't know what they expect me to do, power gliding on a friday night or something like that. when you have a little seven—year—old boy and all you want to do is chill out in your pyjamas and watch netflix and have chinese, that's good enough for me. it's the netflix and she'll come you keep thinking it's going to end with chill. naturally, chinese, completely. have you ever been power gliding on a friday night? no, not any day of the week, but i quite like chinese. i don't know if we would eat chinese with rebecca long bailey, i thought th

it is the tory failures that seems to be the new bit here.know it is late but it is way over budget. looking at this report, the national order, look at this project beyond £1 billion but also there is no direction over this project and it is lacking that very senior level to have a clear idea of where it is going, which is why the transport sector is saying that they have concerns over. it feels like a decade—long now they have been talking about hs two. it is still not happened in the original cost of 33 billion at the time, i remember feeling thousand staggering amount of money and now it is gone up to hundred billion and so, this report is going to add further evidence into its long—term future and whether it is viable. does dominic cummings like it? apparently not. you spend an x number of billions of pounds and does it keep going? being mapped out and on the station here in london in the hotel down the street and and as you know, they will say, they have completely missile does and get them 20 minutes faster, 50 minutes faster, making u

tourism can have devastating effects as we just saw but not all tories unease but for example tories in revenue can also help save off because precious excess system ceaselessly by and that is a south african marine biologist student who is determined to protect my real life while also providing a decent income for locals in the tourism industry. off the shores of south africa's cape peninsula lies a picturesque marine protected area it's a large stone of around 1000 square kilometers species which were once under threat in this region are now able to thrive. in balochi she's helping to identify which of them are in areas should be given protection status this will also benefit locals as well as marlene life going forward how i am proposing to design marine protected areas is to incorporate also the social aspect the social benefits that people can derive from marine protected areas so we're not just protecting the natural environment but we also protecting the benefit that people can get i dove marine protected areas now and in the future vision is a transitional industry along the

, in the la st two of fisher men voted tory, in the last two general elections because they thought thathey thought that it would ensure they maintain control of their own fishing grounds, but it could be within weeks, the government is signalling that it is willing to give up access, and allow european boats access to our fishing grounds in return to access for financial services. financial services is a major driver of the economy and major driver of the economy and major tax raiserfor major driver of the economy and major tax raiser for the whole economy. bankers might not be popular, but it is a huge part of the economy. it cannot be damaged too much. it is a bigger sector than fishing. but fishing was an emblematic aspect of the brexit campaign. the idea that we would ta ke campaign. the idea that we would take back control of fishing waters. whilst it is a more realistic demand from the eu to have some sort of access for european fishing boats to uk waters, it will be a difficult thing for borisjohnson to explain to anybody who voted for him in a coastal town, thinking this was goi

get the tory party out of it.t your voting habits but you said you were a democrat and believe in democracy. as you look around the world, do you think we are in this sort of period of democratic recession which is a correction that has been readjusted but democracy will survive, or do you have to think we are entering a darker, a post—democratic age? no, i don't believe that, but i am on the whole quite optimistic. i mean, we are in the middle of a cult of the strongman and a lot of leadership around the world is very autocratic. and populist movements have, i think, done democracy no favours in forgetting the normal checks and balances and the structures and sort of boring sets of standards and values that allow democracy to function. none of that is very encouraging. but, essentially, i think most periods — and one of the good things about getting older — think "this is a terrible time" and "british politics has never been so divisive." and i think "poll tax, riots, the miners‘ strike" — that was not a cohesive

chancellor sajid javid throws his support behind hs2 — as a number of tory mps consider rebelling againstovernment. the number of rape prosecutions in england and wales has fallen again — as the number of suspects charged rises slightly. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport with chettan. good afternoon. novak djokovic is one win away from a 17th grand slam title after beating roger federer in straight sets in the semi finals of the australian open. thanks, chettan. and helen has all the weather. a rather grainy picture for many today with some rain and we will ta ke today with some rain and we will take a look at the forecast for the weekend coming up as well as the average global temperatures as well. a new statement out today from the met office. also coming up: never in the field of human conflict was so never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many... tributes to one of the last of "the few" — former battle of britain pilot wing commander paul farnes has died at the age of 101. hello everyone, this is afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. in the last few hour it's

do you consider yourself to have any tory friends? i'm sure i have.group of friends who are not political. we don't talk about politics because you don't talk about politics with your nonpolitical friends and i bet they've not voted labour all their lives, they've probably voted for all sorts of people. but i don't know. they wouldn't tell me if they did because they'd be angry. and do you think that's right? do you have any tory friends in parliament? not really, no. but i'm friendly to everyone. you're putting yourself forward as labour leader, but also as a potential prime minister. how do you think you would handle that? you said, like millions of us, one of your favourite things to do on a friday night is get a takeaway and sit down with the family. can you imagine doing that in number ten? no one gets in the way of my netflix and chinese takeaway on a friday night. apparently, i wasn't exciting enough in saying that. i don't know if they expect me to start paragliding on a friday night, but when you have a seven—year—old boy and all you want to

what will the tory party right about now? whether to go ahead with brexit. as a former leader of the tory party, i hope they won't be fighting about anything stop right there won't be that... we are leaving downing street for the last time. but the eu won't just disappear. street for the last time. but the eu won'tjust disappear. brexit has not been done because we are about to embark on this hugely important negotiation about what kind of future relationship we will have with the eu that's going to affect every business, every part of the country. like half of the country i shall feel sad on friday at the other half will be celebrating but we all have to accept the outcome. acce pta nce we all have to accept the outcome. acceptance is not the same as accommodation. cheering remember what this was like, day after day, night after night, cheers and arguments? they seem faint echoes now. politics is different, already very different, but that does not mean that the tensions and concerns in our country have just melted away. the

the tories are doing a pretty good job at doing that at the moment.ed it as some communist revolution... that is of they're trying to do here. it is of they're trying to do here. it is supposed to be a temporary measure but i think it will be interesting to see, it is easy to say that company should treat their companies —— copy should treat their customers well. i think the longer that these companies and rats stay in public or sure, the weaker the argument gets. i sorry to interrupt, mcafee. we spoke to rail expert earlier saying that northern have been making a lot of the savings and customers have been suffering but pa rt customers have been suffering but part of this is to do with lack of investment by the government in infrastructure. and that is what northern would say. because they have been dubbed northern fail saying that there has been a lack of infrastructure investment which has led to delays across the network and not just the led to delays across the network and notjust the north. there's been this long—running industrial action from th

if the tories had not one like they did commit we might be heading for another referendum and goodnessing, a lot of people be quite happy we are leaving and just give that a go. i agree. the idea there will be this big campaign to rejoin ina there will be this big campaign to rejoin in a big waste probably not right, but i do think what is interesting about this front pages they do mention this division and rancour. and then the next sentences after that is, democracy ultimately prevailed over those who tried to thwart it. you think, there is a big job to unite people over this. and we have certain papers and certain politicians who have sewed this division or helps to sew into, helps to create it, when they have scapegoated migrants, minorities, there are lots of people in the country who feel they don't belong and they are not welcome here. that job actually is bringing people together and making people feel like they are welcome and that racialized minorities are knocking to be sick without or told to "be back where they came from". that is a big job. they have a huge mountain to cl

what kind of tory is that?ndon, that was you, you did that. you did at you one the election, you one on brexit, —— you one one the election, you one on brexit, —— you one on one the election, you one on brexit, —— you one on brexit. one the election, you one on brexit, -- you one on brexit. john mcternan, thank you very much for that. the film review is in ten minutes' time — olly foster has the sport. thank you. it's been a mixed day for england's cricketers in the third test against south africa. there was a maiden five—wicket haulfor dom bess before they were frustrated by the rain and then a string of dropped catches. south africa closing on 208—6, still 291 runs behind england's first innings. patrick gearey reports. every morning at every ground, a theirfans sing every morning at every ground, a their fans sing jerusalem. this time, there was belief. here is why. expertly caught by all the pope off the bowling of dom bass. pope plaza mexico could only be fully appreciated on the replay even by those with

the tories have no positive power for the union, independence.tive powerfor the union, so all they can do is deny democracy. and that will not stand. so nicola sturgeon still very much want to have that second referendum, but it's very difficult to know what she does next, if borisjohnsonjust will not give consent. alexander, many thanks. the government is considering cutting air passenger duty on domestic flights — as part of a plan to save the troubled airline flybe from collapse. flybe is the uk's biggest regional operator — but any cut in duty would have to be industry—wide. environmental groups say such a move would be "reckless," given the need to halt climate change. theo leggett reports. for the moment, it's for the moment, its business as usualfor for the moment, its business as usual for flybe, talks for the moment, its business as usualfor flybe, talks behind for the moment, its business as usual for flybe, talks behind the scenes could decide over the next few hours whether the airline keeps on flying or is grounded for ever. just a y

took this unprecedented action that many saw as escalate tory, so now many are looking to iran for their response. making it clear to iran, if they retaliate in a major way, that could lead to an escalation that will likely turn out worse for iran than the united states. one of the goals of these deployments is deterrence, to show iran that the united states is preparing and is ready to respond, if iran looks to escalate. it would be a huge gesture on the part of iran not to do anything, especially after the supreme leader talked about severe retaliation. what is the word out of europe? we know france has been vocal about this, turkey on the phone call with the french president. have we heard, for example, from the united kingdom? europe? matthew: i have not seen their response on this, good question. typically among the european allies, britain tends to be more in lockstep with the u.s. than others. many of our european allies will understand the rationale behind this attack. they know that soleimani has been behind iran's militaryitorialmatthew: actions in yemen, lebanon, iraq, syria,

and trump's response was escalate tory. dramatically escalate tory. >> iran will never have a nuclear weapon. the airstrike happened in a rock where parliament responded calling on the prime minister to expel u.s. forces. the u.s. has several thousand soldiers in iraq . natalie brand, cbs news, the white house. >>> president trump warned iraq the u.s. will respond with sanctions even greater than the economic sanctions in place against iran . >>> john bolton now says he is prepared to testify and he sent an impeachment trial. the senate will be dealing with ordinary business this week and not the impeachment trial. lawmakers are still at odds over trial rules and nancy pelosi has yet to send the articles of impeachment to the senate. president trump tweeted the reason the articles have not been sent is that democrats are weak and pathetic. he continues to call the process a political hoax. >>> prosecutors announcing new sex crimes charges against harvey weinstein . he is accused of assaulting two women in 2013 and faces 28

he can afford to be more of a one nation tory, and some mps who reluctantly supported him suggests hethat they are going to go into these negotiations with this strong approach i don't think we will see much of that and i don't really think the eu will respond that well to it. the point is the business do not have to stay in the uk. you might tell them that this is how it is but they may up and go. any details as to how the uk will support business to get them through this? one of the great ironies of this? one of the great ironies of this is that borisjohnson has been talking about wanting to relax some of the rules around state a free sample. so things like what had with flybe this week. so struggling communities, they will be prepared to put more investment. sajid javid said he wants to increase investment. he now has more freedom to increase capital investment. he has changed for school rules so he can do that. but it seems slightly illogical that you then go for an away goal, particularly in the north—east when you think about the car industry there. manufacturing is going to be

when i was the tory chairman, i went to the european parliament.ead tory mp's there, but the big debatesl never determin anything. it was all decided by committees. christian: when he said, why can you be a better european? he was reflecting on wha charles de gaulle said, that we don't hit in the club, and we never really did. >> you are right to quote charles de gaulle. het did not believe t country like our who traveled all over the world, are interested in a narrow waterways of europe. we are not a continental country , didn't have a continental approach. that is why charles de gaulle said no in 1963. driving up to the barrier, and the barrier was de gaulle's big nose. i moved, as it were, in politics. christian: as did margaret thatcher. >> yes, in the early days, she was very pro-european market. she lost her confidence as well. she felt the bureaucrats were running the show. >> she felt that britain was not getting a good deal out of it, france was. >> where we paid less. eyesented that. she was moving that way. eethe wonderful t no's that sh

mark: he was tory then liberal. >> yet he was a liberal and back to the tory.hadad a great line about that. he said anybody can laugh but it takes a certain engineer to be wrapped. basically it's because he believed in free trade and free markets. and the conservative party dumped that in 1984. and he stuck with his belief, and went into the liberal party which supported free trade and free markets. but when the conservatives came back to free trade in free markets 20 years later, he went back to the conservative party. so throw case of the party leaving him then him leaving the party. mark: that's interesting to come back and forth like that because an american you get a one swing? >> yes, but that's british politics. he's about the only person is managed to pull thats off. mark: there's never been anyone like him maybe thatcher is the closest example? >> i think of margaret thatcher admired himgr hugely. she will grow up as a girl during the second world war and the family sat around the radio in her home listening to churchill's great wartime speeches. and i

first of all, it's called 109, because that's how many tory mps, new tory mps, were elected in december's what the prime minister told them when they metjust before christmas. there's debate about renaming it, because it turns out there's only 107. but in this whatsapp group, there's only about 66 — sorry, i'm hoping you're keeping track of the numbers, because there'll be a test later! basically, the whatsapp group is being used to coordinate and support each other, because there are so many of them, almost a third of all tory mps are new, and they're finding their way along. and more than one of them, in fact, has done what every new mp should do, and started leaking details of it to me. excellent, excellent. so, in these details, do you get the idea that some of them are organising? are they forming themselves into a northern caucus? which i'm going to call the noc, northerners 0nly caucus. there's some who want the new intake to act as a caucus entirely. so there's been talk, there's some elections coming up for select committee chairmen, there's talk of them having their own hustin

bring together all views across the centre—left of politics to become a credible force to keep the tories and yes, we will disagree, but we have those disagreements in private. rebecca long bailey is seen as the closest candidate to outgoing leaderjeremy corbyn. the other front runner is sir keir starmer, who also called for unity. we've had far too much division. i think the whole of the party wants to be united. they want to come together, so we have to end factionalism. stop asking the question, which bit of the party you from? and start saying, what are you saying? what i saw in the election, and i went to 44 constituencies, was the big teams of labour supporters out there drawing together, putting their differences aside. the candidates were also quizzed on their position on brexit, which is seen by some as a reason why labour lost many of its northern seats. the wigan mp, lisa nandi, who opposed another referendum, said the party had airbrushed complexities about brexit. my leave—voting constituents, are no more racist little englanders than my friends who voted to remain our libera

hs two, late and billions of pounds over budget according —— due to tory failures.liticians involved simply misunderstood or did not understand the complexity or the financial implication of it all and blames them for the situation we are in 110w. them for the situation we are in now. it is late, very late and will cost billions of pounds if it goes ahead. we read that dominic cummings, the prime minister ‘s special adviser, and andrew gilligan, formerly of this parish, are among those strongly opposing the project. well if mr cummings is opposing it one has to say on the basis of what has happened in the past the prospects are not very good. the times says it is a decade later than do not know how much it will cost, supposedly 13.7 billion but revised up and up and up. will cost, supposedly 13.7 billion but revised up and up and upm could be one of the early sticking points for borisjohnson could be one of the early sticking points for boris johnson because you have a group of conservative mps who desperately do not want it to go ahead yet boris secured a lot of vo

were of course one of the tory of murphy with the latest on this royal the women tonight from london it's where you thank you thank you for police in iran have denied firing live ammunition of protesters during a 3rd day of demonstrations across tehran public anger is growing after the government admitted that it did accidentally shoot down a ukrainian passenger jet last week killing all 176 people on board tehran had initially denied military involvement claiming the crunch had been caused by a mechanical defect or testers now accuse the government of a cover up for. the tehran the public and remains close to the surface. due to the dictates of a 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 coverup of the truth that it mistakenly shot down a ukrainian passenger plane but as to how some of the officials were even accused of lying and covering up where i was honestly that was not the case. even the statement that i issued on thursday night. it was seen as a lack of honesty but t
