Lets go live to baghdad how does iran sullivan java is the forests iraqs Prime Minister has met the u. S. Ambassador to iran some of what he said about that meeting. Well ended our few minutes weve heard from the Prime Ministers office confirming the meeting between the u. S. Ambassador and the iraqi Prime Minister the Prime Ministers office says that it was emphasized that all sides must work to words a speedy withdrawal of Foreign Forces something that iraq wants obviously something which the u. S. Is not willing to do as weve heard from the u. S. President donald trump saying that if iraq takes such steps it will have to face consequences such as sanctions and having to pay for their bases its not clear whether mr trumps tweet was discussed it would mean the ambassador and the Prime Minister but it is clear that what Iraqi Government wants is what it wants to convey the message forcefully to the United States that this is what its parliament has voted upon now but it is worth noting that after the parliaments decision it was a unanimous decision but it was nonbinding it was only unanimous for the people who were present there and the kurdish members of parliament and arab sunnis were not there so iraq remains divided on this issue on what to do does it really want a complete withdrawal will it be a partial withdrawal how long will it take for foreign troops to withdraw and which one of them will drop so it is going to be a complicated few days and weeks ahead for iraqs government which is worth noting that it is an interim government because it was forced out by months of protest against corruption and a lack of jobs given given that the challenges then cant carry Iraqs Parliament even even do it you say that theres a lot of divisions were. Absolutely so even if they overcame all of those divisions of which is the sectarian and ethnic divisions of it being certain is shias and kurds even if they did tomorrow came together and said this is the law now u. S. Forces should leave there are other agreements besides that 2014 agreement where iraq asked International Troops to come to its country and save it from iceland there are agreements with the United States this question Framework Agreement of the f. A. A. Under which iraq will probably need to give a year to u. S. Forces to leave this area and similar agreements exist in parallel to that with other countries such as the United Kingdom france germany etc so it is going to be a very difficult position for an Iraqi Government to take but again even before you get to that point there needs to be a permanent Iraqi Government this government has already exceeded its constitutional limit to stay in power the Prime Minister has not been nominated there is no agreement so it does feel like that the government is pushing the case to show at least that it is trying to do something but what it will be able to achieve is probably not that much and it is not the kind of time that forces on the ground including groups loyal to iran are backed by iran are willing to give foreign troops some of the driver for to live from baghdad many thanks lets go to washington our White House Correspondent kelly helka joins us live from. The president as about monday morning back to work back to washington from florida whats youve been tweeting about today. You know he hasnt been backing down and hes been astonishing many of those following his twitter feed with yet another statement expressing optimism well actually that was his counselor Kellyanne Conway well get to that in a 2nd the president for his part waiting in all caps that iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon and this is astonishing given the fact that his counselor Kellyanne Conway speaking to reporters in the last couple of hours says despite all of this there is optimism at the white house that there can be a renegotiated agreement with iran to limit its Nuclear Program this is unusual because iran said just a day or so ago that in fact its retreating from the pact that the United States pulled out of that 2015 agreement to limit its Nuclear Program and we also have to in the context of all the events that have been taking place it doesnt seem like theres any room for negotiating right now but thats what the white house has been saying officially and and this comes on the heels of even remarkable statements regarding cultural sites inside iran are important to iranians the u. S. President has been threatening to target those sites if in fact iran in any way retaliate for the u. S. Killing of general sort of money now this is something that the u. N. Secretary the u. N. Security council in fact has said is a violation of International Law and certainly theres been International Concern even condemnation if the u. S. Were to take such action still this is something that the United States that its prepared to do and in fact Kellyanne Conway saying that any action the u. S. Takes would be within the law its hard to know what law theyre talking about so very strong statements but i think you can take from all of this that the u. S. Is not backing down clearly many thanks to the White House Correspondent can be how could that in washington as we were going on a u. N. Secretary general who until you know good tenet show was speaking about. The situation lets go live to the u. N. Aljazeera is my count is the mike what did he say. Well it was a very brief statement around one minute in total the secretary general came to the stakeout position outside the Security Council issued the statement and then walked away declining to take any of the numerous shouted questions in his very brief statement he said that hes in contact with officials around the world my message he says is clear and simple stop escalation exercise maximum restraint restart dialogue renew International Cooperation but in a way this brief statement an indication of how powerless it would appear the u. N. And the u. N. Security council would appear in dealing with the conflicts in particular that iranian u. S. Conflict underway at present the u. S. Has protested loudly in the course of the day about the fact that the attempt to get a Statement Issued by the Security Council condemning the demonstrations and what it says was the attack on its Baghdad Embassy last week was blocked by russia and china so this is just an indication of how the Security Council is from playing any effective role in attempting to deescalate the crisis that is being faced right many thanks indeed to the head of nato has warned the iran war to run against further violence and provocations after an urgent meeting held at its headquarters in brussels secretary general again stolzenberg says that a new conflict is in no ones interest stoltenberg has called for restraint deescalation they so maintains a 500 strong Training Mission in iraq for the fight against eisel but it suspended that mission following the death of sum of money. Nato is prepared to continue our training and Capacity Building when the situation permits we remain strongly committed to the fight against international terrorism. After the meeting today in the United States also briefed on the regional situation following recent attacks on Coalition Forces in iraq and the strike against general salim on. For years all our allies have expressed concern about irans d. S. Stabilizing activities in the why the middle east region. We agreed iran must never acquire a Nuclear Weapon we shared concern about irans missile tests by better brussels officers natasha is that what more did book say in a session. Where the nato secretary general and stoltenberg convened this emergency amazing alternators 29 hour buses to discuss the situation the crisis the tensions between the u. S. And iran that are really reaching boiling point now what he said was that of course the u. S. Is the main nato member and the u. S. Ambassador to nato briefed the other ambassadors about why the United States decided to kill general solar monny now whats sort of bloke said was that he can share with the press or the public exactly what the u. S. Disclosed but the others felt that they had been adequately briefed the also asserted that nato in the paul says repeatedly warned iran against its what he called destabilizing influence in the region and he said that all nato ambassadors were in agreement that there must now be a deescalation of tensions that all sides she chose restraint because we didnt want to see he said any what heading towards a conflict stoltenberg was almost at the end of his a brief press. Meeting greece for a statement i should say he was also what nato would do how would respond if iran was to target u. S. Interests well stolzenberg said he wouldnt be drawn into that kind of conversation because it would only fuel the tensions there were already seeing potential many thanks indeed our zeros nashbar for their live in brussels forces law as the libyan warlord Khalifa Haftar has taken control of one of the Largest Military bases in the country the al qaida beer base is on the outskirts of the coastal city of sirte after us troops are trying to wrestle control of the strategic city from the internationally recognized government of National Accord its part of an offensive which the general launched in april to take control of the capital tripoli lets go live now to tripoli would up to one head is there for us and tell us more about the situation right now in sirte.
