After admitting to the deadly attack on the airliner. Security forces fired tear gas at demonstrators. Unconfirmed reports say live bullets were fired at the crowd. In tehran protesters tore down protesters of general Qassem Soleimani killed by the u. S. Earlier this month. President trump tweeted yesterday to the leaders of iran, do not kill your protesters. Iran says the missile attack that downed the Ukrainian International airlines jet killing 176 people was a mistake. Elizabeth palmer is in london when iran forced her and other reporters were forced to leave the country. Why did they kick you out . Reporter when the iranian Government Asks foreign reporters to leave and its happened to me before and others they expect public unrest. Sure enough thats what they got. Just hours after irans military admitted shooting down the passenger plane, the protests began. Thousands, mostly young people joined angry crowds in the tehran. And the protests continued last night too. Social media video shohowed at least one woman shot in the leg. Tehrans police chief said he urged his officers to use restraint but witnesses say police were using live rounds, just not shooting to kill. It all started with a candlelight vigil. Quickly morphed into crowds chanting revolutionary guards are dictators. And the enemy is not america, it is within. One social media post shows students refusing to walk on large u. S. And israeli flags painted in the road. Many will have seen and shared President Trumps tweets in farsi calling on the iranian leadership not kill the protesters. On saturday in a stunning move a general said it was irans army that downed the plane mistaking it for a u. S. Cruise missile. But as pictures of the wreckage circulated, and International Investigators started their work disbelief turned to fury. Not only on the streets but everywhere iranians were asking if there really had been a threat of u. S. Strikes, why hadnt the military done the obvious thing and closed its air space to civilian planes . So far today our contacts in tehran say things are calm. But theres no doubt public anger is boiling. Government officials and the state media are trying to deflect some of the blame for the plane crash on to the United States for killing Qassem Soleimani and they say forcing iranian air defenses on to full alert. Liz palmer for us in london. Back in this country the Trump Administration is struggling to support the president s new explanation for the missile strike that killed irans commander. The president said on friday Qassem Soleimani was killed because of threats to attack four american embassies. His defense secretary told face the nation on sunday he saw no hard evidence of those threats. Weijia jiang is at the white house for us. Reporter cbs news learned President Trump authorized the killing of soleimani months ago, which raises questions about the timing of the attack, adds to confusion created by the defense secretary when he contradicted one of the mezs most specific claims about the nature of soleimanis threats. I didnt see one with regard to four embassies. Reporter defense secretary mark esper acknowledged sunday he saw no specific threat against four u. S. Embassies by Qassem Soleimani. Contradicting President Trump who earlier claimed thats why he authorized a strike that killed the iranian general. I can reveal that i believe it would have been four embassies. Reporter but esper insisted the lack of hard evidence did not mean the president s assumption was wrong. What im saying i share the president s view that probably my expectation they were going to go after our embassies. Reporter espers explanations mirrors how other Top Administration officials tried to explain how a threat can be imminent and vague at the same time. Those are completely consistent thoughts, but it was very clear. Qassem soleimani was plotting a broad large scale attack against american interests. Reporter the white house has long wish list for changes in iranian behavior including curbing Nuclear Weapons development. Stopping support for terror proxy groups. National security adviser Robert Obrien said the tough stance on iran is paying off and hinted it could force potential negotiations. Iran is being choked off. Iran will have no other choice but to come to the table. Reporter democrats say the discrepancies between President Trump and his inner circle add to their concerns that the hit on Qassem Soleimani was not justified. They are overstating and exaggerating what the intelligence shows. And when you talk about justifying acts that might bring us into warfare with iran thats dangerous. Reporter President Trump contradicted National Security adviser obrien by tweeting he couldnt care less if iran negotiated. The house approved a resolution to limit the president s action against iran, now the senate is considering a similar bill. Two republicans already said they would support it. All right, thank you very much reporting from washington. No one has claimed responsibility for the newest attack on an iraqi airbase north of baghdad yesterday that wounded four members of iraqs military. This followss irans missile strike last week on two bases that houses hundreds of u. S. Troops. This morning Holly Williams went to one of them, the al asad airbase to get a look at the damage. Reporter this is the scene of irans revenge attack against u. S. Troops. The iranians fired 16 Ballistic Missiles according to the u. S. The majority targeting this place al asad airbase where there are around 1500 u. S. Coalition troops. This is one of the buildings that was hit. It was sleeping quarters. U. S. Troops had minutes to take cover after being given warning that iranian missiles had been fired. Youll remember that there were no casualties. Youll also remember iranian strikes were retaliation, after President Trump ordered the assassination by drone strike of one of irans top generals, Qassem Soleimani, earlier this month. Now there is speculation that the iranians deliberately missed u. S. Troops in order to avoid a further escalation and violence with the u. S. However a senior u. S. Coalition military official told us that simply isnt true. That based on where the missiles landed the iranians were shooting to kill, in his words. For cbs this morning, im Holly Williams. Thousands of people are still without power this morning after a deadly storm system swept across the country. Power lines and trees were knocked down and homes destroyed in parts of the south, midwest and northeast. At least a dozen people were killed.

This is all thats left of this home hit by a tornado with 135 Miles Per Hour winds. You cant tell which room is which. In fact, the foundation to the home is about 50 yards that way. This storm hit in the middle of the night. The couple that lived here, they didnt make it. The family gave us permission to be here so we could see the damage. Like many families across the south, theyre left picking up the pieces. All i could do was pray.

In oil city a man in his bed was crushed to death by a tree that fell on his home saturday. Students at Benton Middle School wont be in class today after part of the roof was ripped off. Firefighters found water in some of the classrooms. In south carolina, classes were cancelled for students in Kershaw County school. A tornado damaged buses and buildings that leaders say will take days to repair. Three people are confirmed dead after a tornado hit a community in pickens county, alabama.

This morning panic in parts of the philippines after the eruption of a volcano about 40 miles south of the capital city of manila. Half a Million People are in harms way there. More than 16,000 in the immediate area have already been evacuated. More eruptions could be imminent. Dramatic video shows Lightning Storm yesterday in the volcanic clouds, ash spewed in the air for miles. Howard johnson from partners at the bbbc are near the volcano where ash has blanketed nearby villages. Reporter the volcano has entered an eruption phase. Last night there was steam and ash, now theres lava flowing from the volcano. A weak flow at the moment, but thats causing black smoke to willow out of the volcano. If you look to my left, you can see ash all over the floors, turned into a mud state in some places. On the road on the way up here, saw people clearing mud from the road. We saw pineapple groves covered in dust. That will affect livelihoods in this area. The other major risk that the scientists are saying is that there could be a volcanic tsunami. If there is a major eruption that could cause the earth to move which would displace water. Move which would disclass water. Lowlying communities on the coastline could be affected by a tidal wave if theres a major eruption. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is slamming a new effort to dismiss impeachment charges against President Trump and republican plans to hold a senate trial without witnesses. Dismissing is a coverup. If they want to go that route, again there are senators thinking now about voting for witnesses or not. They will have to be accountable. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell supports dismissal which the president is demanding. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill for us. Good morning. When will this trial if thats well it is possible that the trial could start later this week and more likely sometimes next week after Speaker Pelosi transmits the articles of impeachment from the house to the senate after a months long delay. She will be meeting with her fellow House Democrats tomorrow morning to discuss when she will announce for impeachment managers and hand over the articles to the senate and prosecute the case on behalf of the house. Yesterday pelosi defended her decision pulling up the article saying this delay drew the attention from the importance hearing from key witnesses like former National Advisor john bolton. Other witnesses have first hand knowledge of the administration pressure on ukraine. But, senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is making no promise. Hes saying hes going to follow the 1999 play backseat during the clinton impeachment trial where senators began to hear Opening Statements and present employers before they decided whether to pursue more testimonies. Susan collins told the local newspapers that shes been meeting with a small group of Senate Republicans and they are determined to make sure witnesses do testify in this Upcoming Senate trial.
