Any statement made before extracting the information contained in the black box is groundless however id like to assure you that the aircraft was not hit by a missile the aircraft was on fire for one and a half minutes after taking off so the pilot decided to return to the airport but he had many technical issues at hand. Iran initially refused to hand over to the u. S. The socalled black boxes used to record cockpit voices and flight data but iran has now invited the aircraft manufacturer boeing to be part of the investigation france made the aircrafts engines and says its too wants to be involved and the u.

Well dorsett bari is sent to her and she has more now on what aviation officials in iran have been saying. This was a press conference that was given by the head of irans Civil Aviation authorities and the man in charge of that said that it was actually impossible for this plane to have been struck by any kind of missile or a projector device because the plane was on fire for over a minutes and 30 seconds in the air before it crashed and that means according to the iranian calculations that it wasnt struck by anything that there was actually they believe there was a technical malfunction of this plane it took off. 6 minutes after it took off it crashed so the iranians are now looking into this entire incident the iranian president has. Expressed his condolences to the families victims were also hearing that there are. People coming from the United States france and canada to help with the aviation authorities in iran along with their investigation we also know that ukrainian officials are already on the ground in the capital here on friday helping with this investigation according to the head of the Civil Aviation authority 2 black boxes have been retrieved but they are very badly damaged so its not clear what they will be able to find from those devices at this point but for now the iranians are saying its very important that the International Community doesnt make accusations or come to conclusions and he see manner the investigation is still just starting theres been a special committee thats been formed. By the government and the president himself has called for an investigation so this committee will need at least 6 months to one year to try and determine what actually happened to this flight. Well france is among the 4 countries iran is planning to seek help from for the investigation this is what the French Foreign minister had to say earlier on friday isnt this real course france is available to contribute to the necessary expertise before making a stand we need total clarity on what happened and for that there are International Investigations which must be implemented to do it on iraqs Prime Minister is asking the u. S. Secretary of state to decide on a mechanism for american troops to withdraw from iraq the move follows a vote by Iraqs Parliament to expel the 5000 u. S. Troops in the country after a u. S. Drone strike in baghdad killed Iranian Military commander carson on the money last friday lets go more on this no from our White House Correspondent kimberly whole kit shes live in washington d. C. At kimberly just tell us more about this we understand that a conversation between the iraqi Prime Minister and secretary of state pompei o. According to a statement from the iraqi side a telephone call took place between the u. S. Secretary of state and the iraqi Prime Minister essentially the request coming from the iraq side that there is a desire to have the United States send a delegation to set up as you pointed out a mechanism for withdrawing troops now this of course follows a very clear message from the Iraqi Parliament that there was a desire for these troops to begin to leave iraq and of course there is also the recent chain of events that has certainly put this in the foreground that being of course not only the u. S. Assassination of the iranian general custom cell of mani but then the retaliatory attacks against those 2 bases inside iraq where u. S. Troops were house now. The iraqi side of the government has suggested that the only way to deescalate these tensions at this point is to remove u. S. Troops from the region particularly from iraq right now we know there are about 5000 troops that have been stationed there as part of a Global Coalition to defeat eisel so this is certainly something that is being pressed upon by the iraqi Prime Minister in this phone call weve yet to hear though from the u. S. State department with reaction in terms of how the suggestion was received and kimberly how was the u. S. President likely to respond to this requests of troop withdrawal this was a big Campaign Pledge from him. It was a big Campaign Pledge for him to remove troops from these socalled forever wars as he called it but its really been a situation of mixed signals from the u. S. President with the specifics surrounding iraq the next steps remain a little bit unclear because you remember just a few days ago we were talking about that leaked letter from a top u. S. Commander inside iraq that essentially was saying yes the United States was going to respect the sovereignty of iraq was going to begin withdrawing troops all e. To hastily have a press conference from the defense secretary saying no no no no were walking that back even the secretary of state called the letter a mistake then we look to some of the speeches from the u. S. President on wednesday when he was talking about iran and the tensions he meant made no mention of troop withdrawal so its unclear what the u. S. President is thinking at this moment he did suggest that he believes that nato should take a larger role in security in the middle east that it should be nato plus the middle east nations that are being involved in we know this has been discussed with the head of nato but so far nothing concrete has been announced ok kimberly holker live for us in washington d. C. Thank you for that seats the european Foreign Ministers are holding an emergency meeting in brussels to discuss the crisis between the u. S. And iran hoping to save the 2015 you clear deal after u. S. President dont trump cold on a huge states to abandon the accord earlier this week from surged all science to come back to the table with a warning that iran could develop a Nuclear Weapon within the next 2 years lets go live now to brussels world designers and sasha butler is standing by. Just give us a sense of whats happening there to see. Or you Foreign Ministers are still arriving for this rather rare emergency meeting that is being convened by the policy chief chief Foreign Policy chief i should say just a brown umbrella actually earlier this week invited irans foreign minister to come and talk to Foreign Ministers but as far as we know theres been no word on whether or not our heads the reef would come to brussels any time soon now of the past few days of course the e. U. Has called on both the United States and iran for a deescalation of tensions they have urged restraint on all sides so Foreign Ministers in this meeting will really be examining the situation will be looking want to do next we did hear from the dutch Foreign Ministers he arrived for this meeting and he addressed the issue for example of the plane the Ukrainian Airline that crashed in tehran this week the Dutch Foreign minister saying that as far as he was concerned that it was likely that that plane crashed because of iranian missiles and he said that the e. U. Needed to try and decide what steps it was going to take next Foreign Ministers were also of course be talking about what they are going to do to try and salvage the j. C. P. O. Way that Iran Deal Nuclear deal was signed in 2015 even e. U. Leaders have really been trying to save this deal ever since trying to pull the United States out of it in 2018 the e. U. Says its very important to stop iran getting a Nuclear Weapon to guarantee regional stability but really it looks as if this deal is on the brink of collapse because iran this week said that they were withdrawing from some of their key commitments from it so we expect eve Foreign Ministers to try and decide what they are going to do to try and salvage a deal theyve been fighting for so long and their particular pressure of course because the u. S. President donald trump this week in his speech in washington said that britain germany and france needed to withdraw its support for a deal that he has always called a very bad one ok natasha but well have to leave it there but thanks very much for bringing us that updates from brussels.
