S. Bases from sunday on birds so it is a state of high alert for Iraqi Security forces as they brace themselves for what they expect is going to be some sort of a reaction and weve also seen a flurry of diplomatic activity to try and deescalate the situation in that region this is being spearheaded by others foreign minister who went to the iranian capital and met not just the president but his counterpart as well there iran insisting that this attack which happened in baghdad is a flagrant violation of International Norms and law which is something that we saw in the telephonic conversation between Sergey Lavrov the Russian Foreign minister and the Iranian Foreign minister that was something that was repeated as well and throughout the day here in baghdad the situation remains tense but calm as protesters mourn the death of their leaders in the iraqi capital their funeral procession took place here and then the bodies will be taken from baghdad to karbala and najaf is where i will mad the end mohan this will be. They turned up in their thousands angry and somber for the killing of their leaders by the United States. Chanting and the u. S.

At the funeral of money and this represent the various fighting groups which constitute the Popular Mobilization forces iraqis see the assassinations as a violation of their sovereignty and of the rules of engagement by u. S. Forces individuals the u. S. Has called terrorists and public enemies are heroes to many in iraq thats why the current and former Prime Ministers came to pay their respects the leader of the Popular Mobilization forces who is also the National Security adviser also walked with the procession. Americas tyranny will fade as it exceeds its limits with our again as we demand the Iraqi Government and parliament legislate to make iraq stronger with the Popular Mobilisation forces the army and its people on sunday we want good news from parliament no procrastination and no delay we must get rid of dirty forces standing on iraqi chests. The banners of hezbollah brigades are prominent the u. S. State department has declared the shia group a terrorist organization its fighters were recently targeted by the u. S. On the iraq syria border and that was the reason cited by groups for attacking the us Embassy Compound in baghdad. This was the brigades former leader because we lost commanders of the hotshot who liberated iraq and liberated provinces occupied by eisel iraq force on behalf of all the world this violation has all iraqi people angry and condemning the crime. The bodies of the 2 leaders traveled from holy shrines in baghdad to karbala and najaf. Will be buried while very ill is to take place in iran receiving messages of support for iraqs sovereignty president has spoken to World Leaders including the turkish and french president s they agreed on taking measures to prevent iraq from becoming a battleground for other countries to settle their scores and beason commanders of groups say in death by some silly money could achieve the victory he wanted to expel u. S. Troops from iraq the parliaments extraordinary session is already under mounting public pressure to legislate against the presence of u. S. Forces in iraq but with a weak interim government with limited legislative powers the government is likely to not meet those expectations. With out of there or back that. To mike hanna in washington d. C. There are reports the white house is expected to give congress formal notice of the strike on syria money we know about this. There are several out lights are in for reporting that the white house has inform congress that later on in the course of the day it will deliver a reason for its exercise its attack in iraq this isnt terms of the war powers resolution which makes it obligatory on the president to inform congress 48 hours after hostilities have begun now the nature of it is a signed document from the white house which would be expected to lay the reasons for the action that may be part of the classified of the public part of the document but then also within the document its expected that there would be the intelligence reasons given for the action that may well be classified limited to the eyes of congress alone so certainly this is a important step it is time democrats within the congress have been calling very strongly for such a move to be taken arguing that President Trump has got to meet his obligations in terms of the constitution one of which they insist is to comply with the measures of the war powers act now this act is in place to prevent a president from taking any unilateral action without the permission of congress remembering very importantly that it is congress that declares war is not the president so this is going to be an ongoing debate in the house the fact that the white house is complying with the war powers resolution would appear imply that it does except the limits on the president s authority to put u. S. Forces into conflict areas and mind talking of u. S. Troops and were getting reports that around 3000 or so or so at least thousands of being sent to the region what more information is a match about that from that. Well this is being a staggered process essentially there was an initial deployment triggered off to the demonstrations outside the Baghdad Embassy when an initial group of soldiers from the 82nd airborne were sent into the region this was a 3 stage deployment initially but now that has been extend to ated where it would be an invasion that some 750 paratroopers would be put into theater at this number according to the pentagon is now well over 4000 or from the same division 802nd airborne so this is certainly an increase in the number of forces that are being deployed which is somewhat ironic so many commentators in the light of the fact that President Trump has insisted through his presidency that he wants to reduce the number of u. S. Soldiers in conflict zones rather than increase them so certainly in the last 8 months there has been an increase he sent more troops to saudi arabia he is now sending more troops into the middle east in the wake of his attack on the iranian general mike hanna thank you very much indeed.
