All the leaders and i mean ministers and whenever canada canadians see great difficulty they stand in solidarity is that we think with each other was and we would be here for our neighbors for our communities our citizens of us they said compassionate acts to comfort those touched by this tragedy but on that had. Come and will not cease to own ask and demand on says we will be here i will be here to watch that the light will be shed on these events theres as are my ministers last night i spoke to Prime Minister of japan who is on his way to the middle east and i will soon be speaking again with ukrainian president zelinsky and swedish Prime Minister love.

The minister get to think. Of it these are 2 at the front says. It was best to. Assure you that all those discussions will be ongoing i want to end by sharing with you a bit of what i did yesterday i had a chance to sit with some of the families of the victims they are hurt angry and grieving they want answers they want justice. What iran has admitted to is a very serious shooting down a civilian aircraft is horrific iran must take full responsibility. Canada will not rest until we get the accountability justice and closure that the families deserve. Going to. See that when the notice met that limit not on the gifts you were serving now take actions we were to not you could be running after him Prime Minister another to iran has admitted guilt. Are you can more confident that families are going to be able to bring their loved ones home and is there a time line on that. These if mission of a rare and of responsibility in this horrific crash is a very important 1st step and we have seen from around 0 willingness to facilitate consular access support for the families but is just too early to have a sense of timelines and terms of when they will be able to return for their family members you sit its a chance to speak with rouhani i mean should iran compensate canadian families here that is certainly something that is it going to need to be part of the mix i sat down with a number of families who are absolutely devastated with a loss of loved ones they are facing a financial challenges on top of the extraordinary grief that they are feeling right now and we need to make sure that those families get the justice that they to surf so math youve corey brother kind of and them or of a mere wraps and committee in process but after him dad month see i wanted to see about the air and you t. V. Do you have if you please though from president rouhani that this there will be of full an independent investigation how much trusts do you put in the iranian authorities its as full sit be and easier i think that fact that theyve accepted responsibility for the missile strike which brought the plane down that be i think that establishes already that theyre open to having an investigation to find out exactly what happened we need to make sure that its a credible investigation with independent International Investigators involved but. Once irans took responsibility for what happened there has been every indication that they were open to an open investigation obviously there have been calls for a credible International Investigation from the very beginning the fact that iran has now taken responsibility for the downing of that aircraft means that it is likely that they will be full participants and fully allow a credible independent International Investigation with all partners involved we still have work to do to ensure that happens but the question of responsibility i think takes us a step forward towards truly having a very credible and thorough investigation. And think its only offered in the iran draws a direct connection between this tragedy and the conflict with the us. Do you make any such connection. To answer i think that in times of conflict and tension thats precisely when innocent lives are lost. Obviously in this context in the middle east these days that contributed to this tragedy but has a rand did the right thing and took responsibility for the downing of this plane and for this tragedy. Mr Prime Minister the you said that the tensions in the region sort of contributed to this and you expect iran to take full responsibility but iran is still pointing something 1st at the United States as are many others for raising tensions in the 1st place do you share those views and do you plan to speak with the u. S. President and in discussing ive had a number of conversations with the u. S. President recently recently and will continue to the reality is there have been significant tensions in that region for a long time and what we are calling for now is and deescalation to ensure that there are no more tragic accidents or loss of civilian life as well as moving forward to the peace and stability that is deserved by everyone in the region our focus right now is primarily on ensuring accountability and answers and closure for the victims and that is what we are engaged with. The Ukrainian Airlines executives are quite questioning why iran didnt warn them about this that there were potential missiles in the area that they dont close the airspace. Are you confident that this was actually an accident this is one of the issues that we certainly need better answers to and thats why this 1st step of the mission of responsibility is an important one by around but there are many other questions like that one that will need clear answers to in the coming days and weeks ok so. Thats good. Actually burke c. B. C. Most part of the. Prudential canada id like to know a lot of families have said that theyre angry and upset whats your reaction Prime Minister are you also upset answered yes im furious that there are canadian families that have lost their parents their children their spouses its a huge tragedy for the entire country not just for the iranian community. The Iranian Canadian Community is a community that has contributed greatly to canadas prosperity they work very hard. Theyre very involved theyve believed in this country and the future that theyve built here for many of those families that has all been struck down out of the blue. By irish team that they had fled in the past that they believed they had gotten away from this is an accident or an incident that is truly horrible and i am angry im disappointed but i am firmly committed to getting answers and compensation and help and justice for the victims i am of course outraged and. Furious that the families across this country are grieving the loss of their loved ones that the Iranian Canadian Community is suffering so greatly that all canadians are shocked and appalled at the senseless loss of life. The Iranian Canadian Community is one that has contributed tremendously to this country hardworking proud canadians contributing every day to building a Better Future for themselves and their kids and to many families are destroyed. Many of these families have fled or fled the regime trying to build a better life for them elsewhere and to have the of regime that they have left behind except responsibility for this is it a bitter pill indeed.

And you should be rest assured that ukrainian the state will defend ukrainian citizens citizens everywhere whenever they are in the world. We were just listening to a statement that was put out by the ukrainian president. Speaking on that plane that was downed in iran and he was addressing the nation after the admission of responsibility by iran he did say that findings by ukrainian experts in iran meant the truth about the plane crash could not be concealed and he said that hes agreed with the iranian president on beginning. The beginning of joint work to decode the black boxes and right before we played out that statement by the ukrainian president we were also listening to the canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau he was speaking from canada and he said that canada still has many questions about iran shooting down of the plane when he said that we need full clarity and to go also said that he spoke to the iranian president Hassan Rouhani by telephone and demanded full clarity and he said that the he does expect full cooperation from iranian authorities but irans admission that it shot down the plane is an important step and just a reminder that iran and canada do not have formal diplomatic relations while those comments by the 2 leaders ukraines president and canadas Prime Minister come hours after iran made a dramatic u. Turn and admitted as were saying shooting down that ukrainian airliner describing it though as a disastrous mistake 176 people were killed when the plane crashed on wednesday a commander with the revolutionary guards. Apologized to the nation and accepted full responsibility he says the plane was brought down by a short range missile soon after takeoff from ron it was the same night iran launched missiles that iraqi bases housing u.

They chanted death to the liars and called for the resignation of those responsible for shooting down the plane the protests of university where a vigil for the victims had been held earlier in the 70 official Fars News Agency reported some protesters tore pictures of.
