Mobilization forces overnight of course there were several rockets attacks in iraq one exploded in the heavily fortified green zone which is where the u. S. Embassy is located 2 others hit close to an iraqi air base where there are u. S. Troops and contract as diplomats of course am leaders a scrambling to ease the crisis between iran and the u. S. Cuts us foreign minister was dispatched to meet irans leaders as france the u. K. And saudi arabia cold for calm well also big joins us live now from toronto for us said during this period of mourning its a chance for people to go i will pay their respects. Yes this is one of those moments for iran that everybody seems to have a member of the family that is crying or mourning for the loss of gus and so the money ive spoken to many people this morning and all of them have said that they have a Family Member that is mourning that is crying around to ron even when you go to take money out from an a. T. M. And those screens are images of gus and so the money on billboards on the side of roads on the motorway handovers images of gusen for the money some of them in his military fatigues some of them being embrace by the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Khomeini now the death of gus and so the money even by those holes to the government opposed to the really disestablishment even those people recognize gus and so the money as a patriot to someone that for tough isis and prevented them from reaching the borders of iran but what the what this death has also done has united the different political factions here in iran the conservatives the reformists and even the hardliners are all in unison all condemning this assassination and saying that there should be a response but for right now iranians are mourning and its one of those moments where people are saying that they remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news of the assassination and asked said we know of course they will be interned on chains stay whats on the other steps in this process of mourning until that. Well the body is been taken to different locations in iran but tomorrow it will be into iran and the crowds that were seeing currently in the numbers we havent seen anything like this since the death of the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Khomeini there we are expecting tens of thousands of people to pay their respects and he will be taken off to iran who take the kind of monies home city where he will be buried but again that mourning process is continuing and right now the world is looking back to iran waiting for this response donald trump has said he tweeted out that there are 53 targets that america has highlighted representing the 52 american hostages now the commander the general of the armed forces has devised dismissed that number and said that very much doubt that the United States will carry out such an attack but right now the countries in the region are waiting they feel pretty nervous about what irans response will be and then what the United States reaction would be after the death of dozens of the money i said thank them joining us from tehran as a thank you lets go live now to see more falls and hes standing by for us in baghdad hi there simona lets talk about 1st of all the significance of these most recent airstrikes. Well there are actually rocket attacks in the air strikes targeted of the green zone in baghdad as well as the by that base which is about 80 kilometers north of baghdad and these 2 attacks are just the latest in a series of rocket attacks aimed at bases where u. S. Personnel is stationed one of which killed a u. S. Contractor which was actually what started the most recent escalation of these attacks tend to be attributed to iranian backed groups especially the hezbollah brigades but we have not really heard who is responsible behind this attack and of course this comes amid grave concern among iraqis but also among the american presence here 6 in the wake of threats of revenge and retaliation in response to the assassinations of some sort of money and also i will mark the on the hundreds here in baghdad but it remains to be seen whether there will be further escalation because these rocket attacks well there has been an uptick in the past 2 months of a total of 13 such attacks it is not something uncommon and it does not really pose an escalation so far we did however have a statement from the hezbollah brigades warning Iraqi Security forces to basically do this thems that these things themselves from Coalition Troops so as to not become Collateral Damage in what appear to be plans for forthcoming attacks on bases where u. S. Personnel are stationed and simona we know also that parliaments holding an emergency session but its quite a complicated Political Landscape right now isnt it what can we expect. Well this emergency session was called by the Prime Minister in the wake of the assessing nations and what he wants parliament to do is to take measures to quote preserve the dignity and sovereignty of iraq and what we understand is that the more pro iranian parties are currently trying to draft some kind of proposal for a complete withdrawal of foreign and especially u. S. Troops from iraq now it is a question of whether there is substantial support in parliament for such a move we understand that both the sunni and kurdish parties which together have around 35 percent of the seats are against such measures measures they dont really want foreign troops to leave many of them have had said that they will not actually attend todays session so it remains to be seen whether there is a quorum there is also a question mark over whether this would actually be a constitutionally Legal Process because it is actually the executive branch not the legislative branch of this supposed to draft bills so we have here a bloc in parliament that is actually trying to prepare for a proposal something that will likely be declared illegal by the other parties and lets also remember that the government is currently in a caretaker role for following the resignation of Prime Minister of the math in late november so there is a question of whether this government can actually take action to for example previous agreements that have been made between america and the route that govern not just the military presence of u. S. Troops here but also political cultural and Economic Cooperation between the 2 countries simona front and theyre joining us live with the latest from baghdad similar thank you. Donald trump has issued a warning to iran threatening to hit dozens of targets inside the Islamic Republic if it retaliates of the targeted killing of Top Commander custom salami the u. S. President fired off a series of tweets saying iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain usa assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader let this serve as a warning that if iran strikes any americans or American Assets we have targeted 52 irradiance sites and those targets in iran itself will be hit very fast and very hard the u. S. C. Ones know more salt well Gabe Elizondo is in washington d. C. He says its clear that trump is obsessing over the situation. This appears to be a president that is consumed at every hour about what iran might be doing next and how do we know that from his twitter feed it was just a little after midnight here in washington time that trump set out even more threats towards iran this just came out in the last hour or 2 it said and i were a report of it says the United States just spent 2 trillion dollars on military equipment we are the biggest and by far the best in the world if you run attacks an american base or any american we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way and without hesitation again that a tweet from the president a little after midnight and hes really drawing quite frankly a dangerous red line there basically escalating the situation even more so basically in that tweet guaranteeing that he will call he will retaliate against iran shooting iran strike any u. S. Interests here this is a little bit surprising because weve been hearing all day on saturday from Administration Officials who are saying they were trying to deescalate the situation including secretary of state mike pompei o who said that was the main priority was to deescalate meanwhile you have these series of tweets by the president doing exactly the opposite and in some of his earlier tweets on saturday where he mentioned over 50 targets that the u. S. Had on their list he said some of them were important cultural sites to the to iran iran has more than 20 unesco World Heritage sites in the country ran and targeting those militarily would be a war crime. Cooler temperatures in parts of australia have given firefights as a brief reprieve after whats been described as a horrid day if on saturday blood red skies could be seen along coastal communities in New South Wales hundreds of properties are thought to have been destroyed across New South Wales and also in victoria and the deciles i was into 25 after one man was killed while still hunting his property but Authorities SayMass Evacuations have prevented major loss of life. This is the most significant this is the most comprehensive and the most dramatic in terms of discussion of response government that weve seen to a disaster such as this and i believe thats where we need to focus our attention and we are seeking obviously to communicate that directly to a strike its to ensure that i can have confidence that the response is matching the maid well jessica washington has this update now from batemans bay on the New South Wales south coast condition have eased in many parts of this trailer but of course crews are still battling 5 in New South Wales in South Australia and in victoria but they are making the most of these cooler temperatures and live to wind to take control of some of the fires which ending across the area now yesterday here on saturday and its really a was described as a horrific day the damage is yet to be assessed but at this jim a did that at least hundreds of homes would have been destroyed this particular region if its really or its not just New South Wales which is suffering but victoria surely there are also fires burning in queensland and tasmania although not as severe as what is happening in the 3 key states now we do understand that conditions all favorable in most of the day theres even a bit of rain here in New South Wales and victoria but its along the south coast region that the situation is still incredibly dangerous and this is an issue which will go on with some weeks ahead theres just been a town thats not to fall from here along the south coast region in between victoria and New South Wales that whole town has just been evacuated so still an incredibly volatile situation.

Well this was a very audacious attack the base is heavily fortified demanded by the king in and the americans but al shabaab still managed to break through what weve been told that the actual attack is over what the americans the kenyans are doing now is called me through the area trying to find the people who are responsible a lot of court has been closed because the things that this place is they are born in a forest thats where al shabaab is day to operate from in kenya and in the past the kenyan forces have been going in and out to that forest trying to weed out the al shabaab fighters what is also difficult is that a few days ago on thursday a bus was attacked. It was going to mombasa it was attacked supposedly by alshabaab fighters it was shot at 3 people were killed it just shows how is it to be in that area and how it seems to be ranking up it right now a lot of questions being asked as to how he has managed to break through this when she bathed in which is heavily fortified got guarded by the americans and the kenyans lots of questions being asked and of course concerned about how active is al shabaab becoming in kenya getting permits us there live from nairobi with those details on that attack.
