Police in georgia fired tear gas is thousands of protesters tried to storm the parliament over the visit of a russian politician. Hundreds of thousands are fleeing the conflict in the democratic republic of congo report from a Refugee Center in neighboring uganda. Hello tensions between the u. S. And iran continue to escalate after an unmanned american surveillance drone was shot down over the strait of hormuz by the Iranian Revolutionary guard well donald trump has called it a very big mistake u. S. Congressional leaders are calling for a robust response but theyre also telling the president to act with caution the pentagon has released what it says was the flight path off drone the u. S. Says it was flying at High Altitude in International Airspace when it was hit by a surface to air missile but iran has disputed where the incident took place the countrys foreign minister has released his own version of a map there it is saying the drone was intercepted off the. Violated iranian airspace and the downing of the drone is the latest in a series of incidents in the gulf since mid may they include suspected attacks on 6 tankers that the u. S. Is blaming on iran or u. S. Security officials were summoned to the white house to discuss a response to the downing of the spy drone mike hanna has more from washington d. C. Grainy footage released by the u. S. Department of defense shows the moment when the drone was shot down. Earlier to release these pictures of a similar class drone argue for global hawk which costs over 100000000000. 00. Rainy and chris t. V. Released the sportage of the attack saying it had been obtained from the Iran Revolutionary guard corps tehran contended the drone penetrated the range in a space not so and says u. S. Military iranian reports that this aircraft was shot down over iran are categorically false the aircraft was over the strait of hormuz and fell into International Waters senior members of the u. S. Congress have been briefed on the situation i dont think the president wants to go to war theres no at the change from going to war in our country were told the iranians before they shot the drone down that if you engage against american personnel or s. S. You do search your own peril the president does not want a war with iran or anybody else and but he is the commander in chief National Security figures gathered at the white house and the president sent out what appeared to be an ominous tweet iran made a very big mistake he said. But then during a meeting with the canadian Prime Minister the president indicated that the tweet was not a warning but a literal observation i think probably iran. I made a mistake i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down i find it hard to believe it was intentional if you want to know the truth i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid at the same time the president did not rule out a u. S. Response because i think youll find out. Youll find out youll find me i mean obviously obviously you know were not going to be talking too much about it President Trump has made clear in the past he favors some form of negotiation to resolve the crisis rather than armed action this despite the urging to forceful action from some in cabinet in particular the National Security adviser john bolton the question is whether this latest incident will tip the balance in the favor of the administrations hawks at the expense of those who advocate dialogue mike hanna aljazeera washington lets get an update from heightism castro is joining us from washington d. C. Where there was a closed door meeting heidi whats the message being sent out or what are you hearing from congressional leaders there. Shorter while not only was this meeting at the white house closed door but it was classified so democrats who have been in tendons spoke briefly with reporters upon its completion but offered few details we did hear from House Speaker nancy pelosi though that what she did learn from this briefing was enough to convince her that this u. S. Drone was in International Airspace when it was shot down she said however that democrats are stressing a strategy of deescalation she said that military options were not shared with her at this briefing but that she and other democrats to demand that the white house see congressional authorization before doing any of these military responses also senator Chuck Schumer another democrat spoke with reporters cautioning against the u. S. Repeating mistakes in its past such as the invasion of iraq which had been based on faulty intelligence. The president may not intend to go to war here but were worried that he and the Administration May bumbled into a war we told the room that the democratic position is that congressional approval must be required before funding any conflict in iran one of the best ways to avoid bumbling into war a war that nobody wants is to have a robust open debate and for congress to have a real say we learned that lesson in the runner up to iraq we have an amendment supported by every democrat to the n. D. A. In the senate its led by senator udall it would require congressional approval of any funding for a conflict in iran its supported by all of us we are asking leader mcconnell to do the right thing and give us a vote next week on the n. D. A. On that amendment now its notable that the further actions here are really based on which set of facts is true the degree. In the longitude and latitude given of the location of this u. S. Drone from tehran versus from the pentagon are off by only a few tenths of a degrees less than 7017 kilometers in distance and it may be that the Iranian Foreign minister when giving his coronet said that was the point at which a u. S. Drone had been targeted versus the coordinates we got from the pentagon which say where this drone was shot down so its still so many Unanswered Questions here we know that the u. S. President has a tendency to punch back harder when he feels that he is under attack however he also promised voters who elected him to the white house that he would try to disengage and avoid foreign conflicts involving the u. S. Castro thank you well lets take a closer look at the 2 conflicting versions as heidi was saying the pentagon has released this video right there the u. S. Military insists the incident happened over International Airspace in the strait of hormuz 34 kilometers away from the iranian territory then irans foreign minister on the other hand says the drone took off from the u. A. E. And violated iranian airspace and it was shot down near. The hormones gone province in southern iran. Irans ambassador to the u. N.
