A 176. 00 people on board were killed also on the program taiwan goes to the polls this weekend relations with china are taking center stage of the vote our correspondent visits a taiwanese island in just a few kilometers off Mainland China to gauge the mood there and looking beyond everything was all for the club to be on the a highway with all the trees on board a lot of people and. He defined evacuation orders to defend his home against a wall of flames we have a remarkable story of survival and resilience amid a stream of years roasting bushfire crisis. Hello and welcome. Good to have you with us iran has rejected recent allegations that a myside mistakenly brought on. The ukrainian passenger jet near the iranian capital tehran iran Civil Aviation chief is calling on the us and canada to provide evidence for their claims that a missile fired from iran on the plane iran says it was most likely the result of a mechanical failure russian lawmakers have also rejected best an allegation such as this now or 17650 on board the plane were kid off the iranians Canadian National well the highest number of passengers killed in the crash. 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 canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the 1st to publicly announce the theory. We have intelligence from multiple sources including our allies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by entering 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 a quote high degree of certainty that it was a missile that hit the plane earlier President Donald Trump had also suggested it might have been an accident iran vehemently denies the theory that an Iranian Missile brought down the plane. 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 fire for more than one and a half minutes in the air. And the location shows that the pilot was attempting to return. On the ship with a high level unfastened about augustus the ukrainian officials have also said they were quote not ruling out a missile attack they have sent a team to tehran to investigate and are insisting on full cooperation iran has invited the u. S. Aviation Company Boeing to join that probe and said it would provide visas for accredited investigators from the countries involved. Joining me now is nick waters in london hes a senior investigator at benning cat and investigate if a collective a welcome t. N. I. You verify the video clip that we saw it out to put that allegedly shows the airplane being hit by something what exactly were you able to confirm. That your last night. We wont see where the video was filmed in the city perons because we knew precisely where it was filmed we could work out where the explosion. Or where the explosion you see actually was because you can work out the direction and you can also work on the distance as well from the time it takes from the explosion. Being seen on the cameras to here but it also pictures nic of myside fragments circulating on the internet what do we know about the attend the city of those speeches. So currently there are 2 images showing a tool missile head. Not been verified. They do not pay to be presented previously from what we can tell however they havent been g. Located and we cant work out precisely where these images were taken so they remain unverified phrases dr because it is suspected that 2 missiles were used to bring down that plane that is according to intelligence agencies that weve been getting from now they are also reports out there nic the bulldozers of being used to clear the crash site what does your investigation show. So we started hearing the truth yesterday which was very concerning for us because. That would not necessarily beneficial to the investigation. We have hugs i literally just sort of this morning from a news crew who managed to get to the scene and it appears that the fragments of the plane have been deep plated from the cross. I believe this will likely haul me investigation into this instance. Based on the evidence that you all assigned to the websites has collected what do you think brought down this plane. It is. I would not like to say anything that we cannot confirm we have a video that shows an explosion. We believe we can see a missile in the video and sensually in objects possibly a plane flying out from it and explosion much as the flight path of this ukrainian plane. Is the most i can say is what we have confirmed on would like to say will not without further information so for the moment based on the evidence that you have you would not rule out the iranian version that it was a mechanical failure. Although i cannot rule it out i would be very interested to see what kind of information that basing their assessments holme because currently the information we have that is available indicates it was more likely. It was potentially shot down. Right nic what is from the Investigative Journalism collective at bentinck at thank you very much for talking to us and. Thanks very much indeed. The u. S. House of representatives meanwhile has voted to limit president trumps ability to engage in military conflict against iran the chamber voted almost completely along party lines to cross the resolution it would become binding if the senate supports it trump ordered the killing of iranian general custom salinity last week without congress should approve of the resulting increase in tensions with iran prompted to read mergence the meeting of European Union Foreign Ministers in brussels later today they are hoping to find a way to guide the u. S. And iran away from for the confrontation. First the assassination a 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 country says 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 of un sanctions. However u. S. President trump pulled out in 2018 he since reimposed 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 issue. Was the only state 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. And if you have his chief Political Editor michelle a krishna talk to the head of germanys fundamental Foreign Affairs committee norbit event confronting the c. D. O. Party she began by asking him whether europe should stand by the Iran Nuclear Deal despite demands from president donna trial that it should be abandoned. Absolutely and as long as there is no better option to make sure that iran does not develop Nuclear Weapons i think we should stick to that of course we have to see and we have to face the facts that the u. S. Has withdrawn from this treaty and by this economically has massively damaged the effectivity of the agreement so we should stick to that perhaps we should embrace his proposal to broaden the negotiation and the relationship to iran not only to focus just on the Nuclear Aspect but to include for the regional aspects in order to create a broader arrangement for regional stability i think we should we should embrace and appreciate this approach and i think there the role for the europeans to make this possible is absolutely vital and crucial now europe keeps talking about broadening this Iran Nuclear Deal trump wants a new deal which also has his name on the paper how do you read the accent of the u. S. President right now. I read his actions in the way that he is absolutely determined to avoid war. He thinks at the same time that he cant afford to be seen as weak and this is absolutely terrible to the iranian leadership they want to avoid war despite their aggressions. But they cant think they cant afford to be seen as weak so i think there is a viable. Approach by the u. S. President to substitute the j. C. A which he has lost all the time with a new diplomatic approach how far this can go we have to see but this at least is a new tune from washington that is not only sticking to the policy of maximum pressure but that he has introduced the aspect of negotiation and diplomatic approaches what will happen to german engagement in iraq if the u. S. Troops have to be. This is absolutely clear we want to stay because we see our objectives there is not yet accomplished to really have the victory on make sure that isis is. Defeated in iraq and to contribute to the stability and unity of the country. So we want to stay there but if the United States were forced by the Iraqi Government to leave the country because they are declared doesnt as not being welcome there then we would also have to leave because we are interdependent in our military presence there and we need to have the u. S. There as our allies and partners know about what can head of the final Fast Committee of bonus tax thank you very much.

Dive on boats on saturday in president ial and legislative elections the question of whether the on in looks towards or away from china and the answer will come from one of these 2 president ial candidates incumbent media citing when thats her and her main challenge hunt who are you now citing when comes from the independence minded pro Progressive Democratic party that is her rival is from the opposition who advocates closer ties with china so how do people in taiwan view their neighboring superpower use of phoebe kong sent us this report from the taiwanese island off can men just off the coast of china. This is the border of taiwan but the chinese plant this here we are in Cayman Island where yo kitchen only see the flats of political rivals china and taiwan flying side by side. One cooperative project is to specify or which stores water pumps from china that helps feel some of us needs a 2018 human target china to resolve Persistent Water shortages well suits manages the waterworks here for him prostrate interaction its more than just the policy shapes his everyday life. Theres a chinese idiom that says a close neighbor is more helpful than distant family the pipeline is Ground Breaking eases cross straight hostility and sets a precedent to connect our electricity grids or even build a bridge in the future we want friends instead of enemies many on the island. Which most likely not the majority of taiwanese. Parliamentary candidates from a Pro Independence party is skeptical his opposition to china has bison asians influence has been the central issue ahead of this weekends elections the whole says it was only when Home Counties sent it into political turmoil that he made up his mind. Our leaflets feature the hong kong protests because we trigger a strong sense of national doom looking at the tragic outcome of taiwanese have to think about whether we should still see closer ties with your foreign tell you in regime behind hong kong. This is taiwans closest place to china which is only a row 5 kilometers away it used to be the front line in conflicts that case ago that military very case were left here but nowadays china is trying to narrow this taiwan not only economically but also politically but how on this authorities see this threat and has been this so seeing yourself on china over the past 4 years. China a friend or foe. Has vowed to unify selfloading taiwan and the one country 2 systems as china did with hong kong if necessary by force but these idea was rejected by taiwans president who is seeking action. Because china friendly rival hungary or you has a different response to beijings intimidation tactics. Ties cooperation which one and his friends also support the largely rely on china for a living. But which you are used to perceive china as a threat but not now i saw a gradual progress when i got in touch with the chinese and we want a peaceful and prosperous lives instead of constructing a socalled threat i dont care whether there will be unification or infiltration this is not what my generation will encounter. If taiwan and china are to interact we must be treated fairly i mean state to state relations what kind of price are we willing to pay for that taiwan should be more aware of chinas sharp elbows than anywhere else in the world because were on the front line with the only place where china wants to take control of. Decades ago. Used to broadcast into china propaganda to the mainland its now a Tourist Destination but the message of freedom and democracy is the most distinctive difference across the strait remains just as timely as ever. We asked. Dr port if such differing views were typical well its a longstanding social phenomenon in taiwan and opinions have been defined of what that case so if identity and also economic issue when we talk about the defiant and for elder generation they most of them they identify themselves as Ethnic Chinese in a broader sense because many of them are fled to taiwan right after the civil war. With the Chinese Communist party decades ago so they still have a family of high sway of Mainland China but on the other hand Younger Generation who were born and raised in taiwan they simply recognize themselves as taiwanese and they dont think they have any warning what the Mainland China and given the fact that the hostility between 2 aside has been intensified in recent years and which further and make them feel distant from Mainland China and economically there has been heated debate on the way to taiwan should depend on chinas market or not so this is also something that has long been argued in almost every single election in the past so that as you have the correspondent she become reporting from taipei.
