Sources of glory aljazeera takraw. In a moment well speak to daniel who is in toronto where a memorial has been held for victims of the plane crash 1st lets go to allan fisher who is in washington and President Trump has been issuing warnings to the government in iran today and expressing support for the protest as what hes been saying alan. Well hes been tweeting it in english and in farsi in fact some of his supporters are saying that the 1st tweet that he put out in farsi about 24 hours ago is the most retreated farsi tweet in history something that will appeal to donald trump hes been talking about the protests he says that iran must not kill its protesters he has said that they must turn their internet back or and he said that the world is watching iran and more importantly the u. S. Is watching iran and he called for reporters to be allowed to roam freely this coming from the president the cant set aside has called the media in the United States and to me of the people but he is making sure that the Iranian Regime is aware that he is aware of what is going on in this certainly seems to be a theme from the americans on the u. S. Talk shows on sunday we have Many Political shows and most of the networks theyve been talking about the campaign of maximum pressure and the regime in tehran is facing pressure both xterra really from the United States and its allies but also no internally from press protesters who are taking to the streets theyve also been talking on the sunday programs about the intelligence that the u. S. Used to target cason cilla money on one hand donald trump said in an interview on friday that for embassies were being targeted by him that is why they felt the immediate need to carry out a strike to kill him but when mark asked for the defense secretary appeared on one of these programs he couldnt point to one specific piece of evidence that pointed to an attack on 4 embassies that was imminent. If i was we are different what the president said was he believed that it probably could have been attacks against additional embassies i shared that view i know other members of National Security team sure that you thats why i deployed thousands of american paratroopers to the middle east to reinforce our embassy in baghdad and other sites throughout the region probably and could have been that is that sounds more like an assessment than a specific tangible threat with a decisive piece of intelligence or the president didnt say when there was a tangible he didnt cite a specific piece of evidence what he says he probably he believes are you saying that it wasnt one i didnt see one with regard to 4 embassies what im saying is i sure the do that probably my expectation was theyre going to go after our embassies. And then more broadly i suppose fair as fair is a dangerous phase in the u. S. Iran conflict heightened by iran continuing to reduce its commitments under the Iran Nuclear Deal. And weve had a statement from the europeans just in the last few hours and essentially its a warning to iran through not talking about backing out of the deal at this point which is something that the United States wants might from people has said over the last few days that he doesnt believe hes getting enough support from the europeans for the maximum Pressure Campaign he would like to see them all walk away from the g. C. Pewee the joint deal which set up the Iran Nuclear Deal what the europeans are saying is that iran has walked away from some of those commitments they want them to go back they believe its important that they do and they say were being patient here reading between the lines of say were being patient we want you to come back into compliance were not entirely sure how long we continue to support this deal particularly with the pressure from the United States if you are not in compliance so you can see that their patience is beginning to wear thin that is a warning here to iran what theyre not doing is putting a time scale on how long their patients will last thank you very much from washington alan fischer and now donna lack live from the canadian city of toronto where a memorial for the plane Crash Victims was taking place earlier and so daniel how are people coming to terms with what has happened. Well certainly what we saw at this memorial was the grief is still very heavy weighing upon them very heavily the scenes were so emotional it was almost impossible to bear at least if you had any connection to the iranian coming Canadian Community in this city this region where about half of the 200000 iranian canadians living in canada live there were 137 people on board that aircraft bound for this country and many of the ones who were at this vigil this afternoon had some connection to the tragedy some direct connection you saw people clutching photographs of loved ones and when they read the names of the victims the canadian citizens who were victims of the crash out from the stage the people who were reading them couldnt get through many of them they choked up they couldnt finish the names especially if there were children involved children aging from one to teenagers were killed in this crash you heard speeches from canadian politicians promising to work towards getting some closure and justice on this and voices from the Iranian Community saying that everyone would stick together all of canada was united in grief with the iranian canadians one person said there are no hyphenated canadians in a situation like this and people are obviously devastated by this tragedy. Theyre also very angry. There was a lot of anger you you didnt actually see it boiling over in a hot way at this but when you spoke privately to people after the vigil outside the convocation hall at the university of toronto they told you that this was a regime that they had all led that many people had actually fled from the night late 1970 s. Onwards their Islamic Revolution in iran people had left because they could not get along with that they had religious differences other types of differences with it and over the years students have come here Business People have come here looking for opportunities yes but also because they found the situation in their homeland too oppressive and they become canadians and quite successful here they really did not see any of this coming people were visiting families and died on the way home and now they want their government the canadian government to keep up the pressure that so far seems to a born results on tehran on the regime in tehran were seeing some canadian officials head to iran a couple of arrived more are expected in the next day or so theyll be scrutinizing the accident investigation and also doing consular duties helping with the remains helping families on the ground and making sure that the iranian authorities treat this very seriously and also looking further ahead canada says its part of an International Effort to get justice for this and compensation for people affected if possible thank you very much from toronto daniel lak now to nischelle where the government says 89 soldiers in 77 rebel fighters and died in an attack on an army base on thursday 3 days of mourning is all said following a meeting of the countrys Security Council im not interested reports from the capital niamey.

The side from the fact of people fearing to be essentially bombed out of the skies by the regime of Bashar Al Assad than even by russian warplanes there is a dire humanitarian situation which is a consequence of 78 years of war that continues to plague all this is innocent civilians of syria in terms of how likely it is to hold this is the umpteenth time that some sort of ceasefire agreement has been reached and what is different maybe from with regard to syria is of the libya is that there is no where near a nice form of equilibrium between the military powers you have armed rebel groups that are now or only in control of this. Province the region of it live and you have on the other side of the syrian army you have iranian backed militia you have the Russian Military which are essentially used all of their might some firepower to corner those rebel groups or whats left of them in this small area and essentially has been pounding them for months if not for the past part of. Years now whats interesting very quickly is that in the past 24 hours the russians have set up checkpoints on the entrances and exits of it live they say to allow for citizens or civilians to leave it live the question is why would they do that if there is a ceasefire which people expect to last kept 6 or cynics would say it is an attempt maybe to filter out as many civilians as they can before the fighting resumes once more when absent from australia the Prime Minister has expressed regret ice handling of the crisis ravaging the country Scott Morrison says the unprecedented fires may become the new normal and the high level inquiry would have to determine what role the federal government plays in responding to such disasters at least 28 people have died since the fires began in september destroying more than 2000 homes.
