Party celebrates its 40th anniversary as we look at how the greens went from outsiders to mainstream becoming the 2nd strongest Political Force in the country. Plus just serves like these will not be allowed at the 2020 Olympic Games in tokyo we have details on the aisle sees new rules on political protests. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us iran is denying western allegations that one of its own missiles downed a ukrainian jetliner that crashed outside tehran canadas Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau says the evidence from multiple intelligence sources suggests that an iranian surface to air missile hit the airliner shortly after takeoff all 176 people on board most of them a rainy and canadian were killed in the crash it came just hours after iran launched an attack against u. S. Targets in neighboring iraq. Verified by 2 Media Outlets appears to show the plane exploding in the sky just seconds before it crashed western leaders say the evidence points towards an iranian missile. Scores of canadian nationals were killed in the crash. Prime minister Justin Trudeau attended a vigil in the capital ottawa earlier he announced what he believes brought down the plane we have intelligence from multiple sources including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by a surface to air missile. This may well have been unintentional. This new information reinforces the need for a thorough investigation into this matter. U. S. Officials have told us media they have quote a high degree of certainty that it was a missile that hit the plane President Donald Trump echoed the theory that it might have been an accident but irans vehemently denies the theory that the plane was downed by an array. With the thing that is clear to us and that we can say with certainty is that this plane was not hit by a missile. As i said last night the plane was on one and a half minutes yeah. Russian a flight shows that the pilot was attempting to return. To the Ukrainian InternationalAirlines Flight was traveling from tehran to kiev with 176 people on board. The boeing 737 crashed in good visibility just minutes after takeoff. Most of the victims were from iran many of them a rainy and canadian citizens due to take a connecting flight to canada. Western leaders are demanding full transparency from tehran the focus is now on the black box flight recorders they could hold the key to revealing the cause of the crash. All right lets get some analysis on this story now we can speak to julian brady an Aviation Security expert he joins us on the line hi julian i want to ask you about that video clip the images we saw that are going viral of the purport to show the airplane being hit what is your take how credible is it that it really depicts the moment of impact i think we have to be really so we have to be careful about these videos however bettencourt is a is a credible organization and they come to a great deal of trouble to redo the backgrounding on this but it also marries out with other intelligence thats being suggested at the moment there is no doubt in my mind from formosa misfile possibly a proximity misfile another was a missile didnt exactly hit the aircraft but they exploded nearby then releasing a big shot of fractional and carbon fiber shards which of course would have lacerated the aircraft itself. That is of course what the u. S. And canada that iran is denying that a missile hit the plane the focus for the investigation now julian is the black box flight recorders that were recovered from the crash site do we know if theyre in a condition to be analyzed properly where ive seen pictures of the black boxes and i also saw them being delivered to the press conference this morning in a working crates and they look to you to be in reasonable condition as well as jarring but these devices some made by honeywell are actually designed to take an awful lot of punishment robert is me is that iran says its going to start decoding these black boxes a softer noon and the frankly i dont know whether they had the professional expertise in order to do the job properly what im worried about is they are already saying that some of the black boxes are damaged and theres possibly some data has been lost. Obviously if it is properly decoded and the pilot conversations recorded it then when i know exactly what was happening out there because a part of my deeds i also did as an misfile heading towards me or therell be a conversation on the flight deck we can tell whether they were just hated or quiet calm its a quiet calm on the flight we had know that they werent expecting anything to happen so this is what were looking for now there are 2 black boxes on this particular aircraft one is a technical wind which records every electrical relay every switch thats being pressed for that about i doubt before the instant happens and the voice data recorder will record conversations on the flight between the pilots between air Traffic Control so all this is on a timeline so you put the 2 together and then you have a complete picture of what was happening on that bump or that aircraft showing what about the flight of the crash itself surely there would be remnants of explosive material debris found on debris of the plane if a missile does indeed hit. If you if you look at this this particular missile is designed to explode alongside a heated target its called a proximity bomb if you like and what happens is it schatzs and its a radiates out lots of side shrapnel carbon fiber so theres not a lot left all of it is designed to explode completely and so that would about she hit the aircraft and i think thats possibly why it came down as a fireball because if you hit it halfway down there is huge fuel tanks in the left hand wing of the right wing and underneath the actual passenger deck itself and as is the size of the flight. Those tanks would have been through so i think that is wanted for the nation as a rainy and saying no this is rubbish this to happen system pens away. Comes out of the black boxes and the black boxes are in the care and control of the iranian or thirtys which is the way it should be because the incident actually the incident actually happened on their space and so they would normally control it they would send the boxes to an independent voter tree that is carried out for it. Now theres a brochure in germany but that might not but that might not be added to that might not be able to sort it out so probably had to do is to make sure that it goes somewhere which is impartial and they can actually get all the states are off and then will be quite well everyone to be happy because you have you observed is there a need to go to boeing that so point all right aviation expert julian bacon to us on the line thank you for sharing your expertise with us. All right lets get the perspective from iran now we can speak to on there how vasya correspondent for the a. F. P. News agency in tehran im here thank you for joining us iran as we said is adamant that there was not a missile that brought this plane down has to iran presented any evidence for that position. What the iranians are currently saying that theyre investigating the situation. Been retrieved and there are saying that the courts are being investigated by tree of irans Major Airline those which assume that in lies which is something that has the ability to be a portal and online and on the cypher data in it so for us for evidence the only thing unions are saying is that it was not a massage that the plane according to them its scientifically impossible for it to have happened and that the plane would have continued fly on for 6070 seconds so theyre basically saying that we need more time for this big asian to be able to tell the whole story was sort of been on reporter mark of canada and the us that it wasnt. I mean weve heard from an aviation expert who said hes worried that iran might not have the expertise needed to analyze these black boxes properly theres also been caused from the us and from europe for cooperation on the investigation are iranian officials opening this investigation welcoming expertise from other countries. Theyre clearly saints or the spokesman for the authority did say that we believe that we have the capability to be able to analyze the data but if we do not we can always ask another country and they also say that they do have some around them of agreements with france and some other European Countries to be able to analyze the data and apart from that though if you are now as. Goodwill inviting lot of the other countries involved to be part of the investigation. 10 strong bilge asian from canada a long way to on according to all of our ministry and the ukrainians are already here and iranians have also invited americans and the french as our friends is our common a fracture of the planes engine so it seems like you want to go to the bottom of this and they will be according to themselves that they will be presenting the data to the other countries as well so i think there really is a show of goodwill and there are many of the victims on this plane were a rainy and so how is the country how are the victims families dealing with this. Its a very sad situation obviously and according to the stuff im seeing on social media and everything that people are saying its even sadder if you put it in the general context of everything if you see them for more perspective because a lot of them were. Academics people who spent their lives trying to find a place and get in any other side iran and find other opportunities so people who died on the plane they kind of symbol eyes though way that its hard to find the other opportunities and Something Like this could happen to you at the same time when you try so it is where weve been between a rock and a hard place and that sense and that really has hit a lot of iranians in a deep place because it does shatter something they might be doing for. F. P. Journalists have as if speaking to us from tehran thank you thank you farai. In the u. S. Meanwhile the house of representatives has voted to limit president arnold trumps ability to engage in military conflict with iran the chamber voted almost completely along party lines to pass a resolution it is unlikely however to pass the Republican Controlled Senate ordered the killing of iranian general customs alimony last week without congressional approval now the rise in tension in the middle east has prompted an emergency meeting of e. U. Foreign ministers in brussels they are hoping to find a way to steer the u. S. And iran away from further confrontation remember it was the 1st the assassination the few irans top general. Then iranian retaliation. In the deepening conflict between iran and the United States the European Union seems caught in the middle the countries whose deeply affects not only the region but all of us and the use of weapons must stop now to give space to dialogue. Talks seem to be the only feasible option here in brussels at the moment the european kind of dilemma is that they of course want to put additional pressure on iran but at the same time they dont want to side too openly with the United States thats the dilemma that the europeans are in this is what their politics looks like you know how do you find the magic formula that you know keeps you in that position that you know satisfies both both needs the e. U. Is clinging on to the 2050 nuclear deal signed by e. U. Countries france the u. K. And germany among others. The socalled j c p u a is supposed to prevent iran from developing Nuclear Weapons in return for the lifting off u. N. Sanctions. However u. S. President trump pulled out in 2018 that he since re imposed sanctions. A move met with anger in tehran which in response has step by step produced its own commitments to the deal further limiting the use ability to weigh in on the issues as a was the only stake the europeans really had in the iran issue thats you know what made them important in the iran context and now thats out of the window plus the situation is escalating and they have no influence now some hope lies in this man Mohammed Sirleaf the Iranian Foreign minister hes been invited to back to brussels in an attempt to bring iranians back to the table and negotiate a way out of the crisis.
