Assassination of Senior Iranian command the qassam so their money lets bring in our correspondent in the iraqi capital asama bin job it is joining us what more have you heard about these blasts. Elizabeth in the last few minutes weve heard from Iraqi Security sources confirming at least 3 different incidents in and around the capital baghdad at least 2 projectiles have landed inside the fortified green zone in baghdad which houses the u. S. Embassy compound weve heard from coalition sources that none of these projectiles landed inside the u. S. Embassy but near it according to Iraqi Security forces this was these predicted landed in the celebrations area inside the green zone and then another incident in the neighborhood where the procession during the day headed to words there has been a projectile landing reported again no casualties or material damage reported there and the 3rd incident has happened north of baghdad in the province in crete where multiple projectiles have landed in the Balad Air Base there a storage area has been hit according to Iraqi Security officials so it is multiple incidents that have happened in the last hour and a half or so were getting more details about these incident but so far it appears that its only been some material damage in all of these locations and no injuries or casualties have been confirmed so far asuna stay with us as we take a quick look at some of the other developments around the story now thousands of people have gathered in baghdad to mourn the targets of fridays u. S. Air strikes that killed Major General qassam sunday monny a huge funeral procession was held for the top iranian commander as well as for iraqs the ad mohan this that the deputy leader of the iran backed Popular Mobilization forces iraqs caretaker Prime Minister adding up that math the also attended sunday manis audi will be flown to iran now cutters the foreign minister mohammad been up the environment and he has measured ronnie and president Hassan Rouhani and fed up the visit comes a day off the sunday money was killed in iraq top to play. That described the situation in the gulf region as volatile and worrying and hes calling for a peaceful solution to the crisis back to osama bin job and in baghdad and surprisingly a lot of diplomatic activity not just from the Qatari Foreign minister and iran from china from russia to try and calm what is a worrying situation. Absolutely since the assassination of. Hundreds weve been seeing a lot of diplomatic activity as a chain of that you saw the Qatari Foreign minister into iran today it is a very significant visit because he has gone there as if there is just fear in the whole region about how it is iran going to retaliate and iran has made it clear that it is not a question of if it will retaliate it will retaliate but it will retaliate at a place and time of its choosing so many countries including carpet are trying to gauge what the response is going to be trying to urge deescalation between all sides because the region have been embroiled in conflict for a number of years weve also heard from the iraqi president who has received phone calls from the turkish president as well of the french president saying that both leaders have tried to say to him that they respect iraqs sovereignty they respect iraqs unity and they want iraq to be united as it tries to come out of years of the fight against isis and it should not become a suspect for where other world powers come and settle their disputes theres also been interactions between the Iranian Foreign minister and the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov as well where russia has been on the side of iran calling this attack on the gazans and in money as a grave violation of International Norms and laws and iran is saying that it will it has to retaliate it has to respond because a military incident can only be met with another military incident and asama all of this happening as thousands of people across iraq attended a funeral processions for those killed on friday. Yes elizabeth that was the big concern throughout the day here in baghdad this thousands and thousands of people poured onto the streets and marched of with the funeral procession of these 2 leaders leaders who the United States calls terrorists and wanted men but leaders who are seen here as local heroes to be resolved flags from a group that have been branded as a terrorist organization to the house the shabby the Popular Mobilization forces which were the 2nd in command was level mad on this very close confidante of Qassam Soleimani so no clearly theres been a lot of grief a lot of anger the chants that we heard were all about. United states and israel saying that the blood that has been spilled by the United States will not go in vain but we do we do see a lot of restraint as its been urged by the leaders of these various factions that they have told their fighters on the ground not to take matters into their own hands and the concerns that were earlier in the day that the recession could turn to words the green zone remains that that just concerns and the funeral has ended peacefully at least that part that was in fact that now the bodies have been taken to holy places in karbala and then not just the deficit of a man on this will be buried when his for his find and writes the body of cross into their money will be flown back to iran sana thank you for that for now that is a solid and job of all the latest live in the iraqi capital thank you were going to bring in Patty Culhane now shes joining us live from the pentagon rocket attacks now were hearing off and baghdad passy Big Questions around the presence of u. S. Troops in iraq as more thousands of u. S. Troops are on their way to elsewhere in the region. They are and i want to just set the scene for you although the u. S. Says that theyre on a higher state of alert worried about what sort of retaliation iran could pursue here at the pentagon it is a saturday theres virtually almost nobody here you can walk the halls and there are a lot of hallways and not see anyone for hours so its not really clear here at the pentagon that there is a sense of urgency but there has been an additional Troop Deployment we know that when the tension started to flare the u. S. Centers over 600. 00 troops to court at iraq thats basically there to be able to parachute in if any when the American Embassy lets say in the region is being under attack these are soldiers who are specifically trained to be able to parachute in and reinforce security the pentagon has announced another 3000 of those are on their way we believe most of those will be based in kuwait for up to 60 days although that deployment could be extended but this is signed in pretty much what the u. S. Has been doing with every back and forth with the rand the trump administrations basically their m. O. Is to send additional troops to the middle east to try and send a message that the u. S. Is ready but its not clear exactly what 3000. 00 troops could do in the broader scheme of things still the pentagon clearly trying to send a message thank you for that as Patty Culhane with the latest live at the pentagon thank you. Now across iran they have been emotional scenes in the country bids farewell to a man held in high esteem not just by the latest but also by much of the population has hit on. A friend for more than 30 years and one of his biggest supporters Supreme LeaderAyatollah Khamenei paces respects to the family of Major General hossam so they money and the commander in chief of irans armed forces offered some words of comfort to sell him on his widow youve got to do it is really he faced death a 100 times couldnt go to duties but he was good to hear nothing i hope god gives him a higher place in the other war he was to mock took them the Supreme Leader told the generals daughter how the entire nation appreciated all her father did for his country. A sentiment echoed by president Hassan Rouhani who also had a strong message for the United States. d this great men deserve not to be killed by any ordinary person or terrorist but to be killed by historys biggest terrorist when this general died the whole u. S. Army is put on alert and the entire region of the country is now officially in mourning on the streets of the capital on saturday iran prepares to say goodbye to one of its most important figures. Major general the monies that america is now unfocused way across there on people here credit the safety and security that they enjoy to him horses who have managed to keep away groups such as i saw. No one. People here are demanding. Money ive only seen him on t. V. But i feel like ive lost my father the Iranian Revolutionary guard corps and the army have to take their revenge our hearts are hurting i express our condolences to his family. Like the supremely just said the era of hit and run is done look at a crushing response is the blood of losses that have kept this country going i cant believe its gone so i cannot man. Major general salim money was the head of the elite schools force of irans revolutionary guards which runs irans military and Clandestine Operations abroad the United States said it was responsible for the campaigns in iraq lebanon syria germany kenya the rain and turkey essential in money rarely appeared in public but videos of his military activities added to his status arabs join the photo another patrolling him as a man who was not afraid of anything so the money survived many attacks on his life but he would be in iraq where armed groups trained by his courts force killed hundreds of americans that the United States and that his reign at the age of 62 door such a pari aljazeera to iran. Now a red flag has been raised over the mosque in irans holy city of qom that is a traditional she a symbol of blood spilled unjustly and a call to avenge the person who was killed multiple Iranian Military leaders are promising to retaliate for sunday manis killing a top the revolutionary guard general has threatened attacks on ships in the gulf and to punish americans wherever they are in breach well lets get more on this now were joined by hashmi a consultant on International Law hes joining us live by skype from hartford in the u. K. Mr hashmi very good to have you with us on aljazeera so there are plenty of questions now about whether the trumpet ministration had the Legal Authority to carry out the strike i mean the president has the power to take action to protect u. S. Interests but will the intelligence that they acted on be made available at least to members of congress to see if it justified this attack. 1st of all thank you for having me and i would like to offer my sincere condolences to the families and mark on all those who lost their lives during the peaceful protests in iraq and pray for a speedy recovery. Now in terms of your question yes you are absolutely correct there is there is a right under the u. N. Charter and both charter and you were asked to marry more International Customers for a preemptive strike now all of this as you said on the intelligence by the americans who say that they consider the us and so many money that. Peace was funny and immediate or strike against American Forces or american us no American Interests within europe now in terms of mate you just had a chance public i dont think they were priced sources and i dont want to compromise any source at the moment in terms of disclosing it to congress yes that may actually happen but it will be a strictly closed session and i dont think the American Congress will be allowed to discuss any of the intelligence that the American Government will. Just precisely for the person who have just given. Their all of us dont your. Yes. I mean having meetings with others in terms of militias or heads of militias destroying the American Embassy and other interests there was. That it was. The introduction of a Prime Minister that is wrong and therefore your americans have to oppose it there are lots and lots of stories which one is truthful you know but of course only time will tell and i think some of you tell me just well but incompetence mr hashmi didnt the u. S. President need congressional approval did he need to show the evidence to congress before carrying out an attack of this magnitude. Well i dont think the attack was a passive act which was to be a cult but of course the persons who were in those vehicles were high ranking and significant now i dont think in terms of in terms of informing the american or the congress there or. Exceptional circumstances that an american president use to prevent an attack on American Interest those not forget that the americans are regulated on a cream and not with the iranians but with iraq you go thats right. And then this of course is a un and on that International Perspective did the trump and the station have the authority to not just kill a senior military command of another country which its not at war with but in a 3rd country in iraq that it has agreements with. Thats very interesting guy i did examined the status of green which was signed in 2008. January 2009 looking at optical 27. 00 off the outer it states that may be mutually agreed in terms of any threat to arm the iraq or the United States as the agreement that is very interesting one because may just not of mind to get a consensus yet but i think the word may well be interpreted in india around and in terms of circumstances existing at the time i think what the americans will always on is that if they were going to reveal any of the information they have to the iraqis their upkeep were going to be that information to the militias who are affiliated with any money and therefore any any operation in that my future carried out. It will be called so i think the americans may have a problem to argue on given the wording of the to agreement secondly it was they were well on the article you want the un charter and cost to me International Law what saying that we were we we have we have attacked we have carried out or we have to attack in order to prevent a further attack on our lives and i was now i dont want anyone to get that id be too late just the latest. To which the americans claim to have responded to is the basic a one in character was not the 1st apparently there were 11 attacks against the americans before their recent and so they havent revealed the details of those attacks but once they are revealed i think there will be slightly stronger meat is great to get your expertise on the story we do appreciate your time for now that asylum hashmi live and half the chair thank you. There are plenty more ahead on news al and commuting. And now the state of emergency in southeastern australia off to catastrophic bushfire conditions for 10. 1 mining fire for call balls and democratic republic of congo comes at a high cost for many and a big upset to stop a falling skiing it has the details in school. Now libyan woman says his fight is now against a foreign occupier off to Turkeys Parliament agreed to send troops to libya half the forces have been attacking the capital tripoli since a full zain basra he has the latest. The man who has for years led a parallel government in libya now calls on all libyans to rise up against what he described as a looming turkish invasion but i do agree that i dont know how the enemy has announced war of the times aggression and decided to invade our nation he bit us to watchful defended took his people which had tied to us in brotherhood in islam must stand in the face of this to raise cantilevered who is leading his army into ruin no as if about going i dont know mother out to be a couple we had to so a speech to the whole arab world to its people and muse and leaders to its youth and saying thats a national war is being fueled by this todays tech assault on throughout the whole region targeting the at about 10. 00 to 10. 00 from its west to its east. After self declared Libyan National army has been fighting to take control of tripoli since april. More than 20 rockets hit civilian areas of tripoli shortly after his speech if there is backed by turkeys regional rivals saudi arabia egypt and the united arab emirates. Turkey is determined to support the u. N. Backed government defending the libyan capital Turkeys Parliament approved the deployment of troops to libya last week after the g. N. A. T. Asked for military support but there are still no confirmed details on timing troop numbers or what role theyll take this has the ability to alter the dynamics completely in libya and restore some largest position of strength at the negotiating table and given that the u. A. E. And egypt are not keen on an all out war with turkey in libya have to believe that his chances are running out and this is why we see these increasingly hostile statements towards turkey. In a statement the u. N. Secretary general antonio terras said he wants an immediate cease fire and a return to political dialogue by all parties but even the un backed government seems to have lost faith in the uns efforts on the ground one senior g. N. A. T. Leader told libyan t. V. His government no longer relies on the u. N. Mission in tripoli zain but.

N. Recognize government in tripoli egypts backs warlord Khalifa Haftar who has besieged in the b. N. Capital for months now spains acting Prime Minister has told parliament that solving the crisis and cutting known yet as has top priority for more lets cross taylor shes in our european news center lauren he. Thanks elizabeth yes pender sanchez has opened a debate in madrids parliament that could lead to a new government or an 8 months of deadlock the acting Prime Minister is seeking to form a leftist coalition he secured a pledge from a key catalan separatist party to abstain in the vote thats despite the separatists getting a major blow from electoral thirtys on friday route to strip the head of catalonia Regional Government of his post position the problem of. Dialogue must start by recognizing one another and attending to each others reasons there is no other way to resolve this conflict there is no other way than a dialogue that takes place within the law the law and its own as we have seen is not enough the law is the condition dialogue is the wrote. Shortly after thousands of protesters took to the streets of madrid accusing Petra Sanchez of being a sellout the demonstrators say the Prime Minister has betrayed them my securing a deal with catalan separatists spains constitution prohibits regions from breaking away and the Catalan Independence drive including a banned referendum in 2017 of course the countrys worst political crisis in decades. In iraq as a professor of constitutional law at Barcelona University she joins us live via skype thanks for being with us so what is the deal thats been done here and why the why the difficulty of this. Yes there is a defeat a difficulty because. For many many months. Catherine and people are many cattle and people not all of them but many of them they were on referendum on the catalan question on dates they travel to 80 percent that they want to be asked if they want to be independent or not whereas in the rest of the spain the seen as a betrayal from. Any spaniard that supports these question to be held in this in catalonia. Very. Big and all took for many many months when we have had all beach thank you constitutional writing because it got there and we are now we were when people went. Into a challenge that the constitutional challenge what about the decision by the Electoral Commission to bar the Catalan Leader from his post our last effect the the Central Governments attempts to make it to form a new government. I think this is important but this is not keep these is another thing that if all were discarded on question on it because its another couple of rat president that has been ousted from power and because its about the right to board that many patents bought that for the president and now they see that hes going to be posted by an administrative board because this is an electoral board they should be implementing decisions from the high courts from the Supreme Court but the fusion that they are implementing its not the final decision and last they also did the sad dont care or so for many people that the fact that a cap another capital and president is being asked to trump our through the spanish judiciary or in this case through an administrative board they feel this is an attack against catalonia and a still the conflict is there and that this is not solved by a low but. To court so what. What about the deal though and it seemed as though they the largest Catalan Party had found its party had agreed to abstain in the vote which was going to help out the government in the Central Government getting its act together and forming a government getting them out now decide not to abstain or. No i think they will be supporting because this question was there therefore for many months this question regarding the catalan president and their main leader which is riyadh to karas hes in jail and anothers are in a dial so for the cattle to scare a republican out we do the lefties in the brain that this party its nothing near like they are already very upset about the situation but they also have been calling for dialogue so they say we will to corporate or sign chip if he. Were as many other independent these party or people they say it they think this is a betrayal because meanwhile there is people in jail or in a dial or there is not a record least you know that many bad things happened here. In the 1st of october. I lead a referendum was carried on here in catalonia against the decision of the constitutional court. Meanwhile this nothing of this is recognized they say they shouldnt make any agreement with the socialist party so its at the independent this movement is right now divided in this sense because some of them like us going to republican or they will be given the support to better sign chip so hes been elected because as you know when the spain we dont elect or president president directly we have to who we elect the members of problem and then its the parliament the one that elects the president and i dont think it will affect the herself ok. Thank you very much indeed for your thoughts thank you.
