Of that district of news a family and friends people queue outside the hospital in the city of kut a man inside the injured filling hospital beds and being treated in its current course what had begun as a day with large numbers of people turning out to pay their respects to an assassinated commander ending with more death in the streets of his hometown several hours after the funeral of customs and the money began on Tuesday Morning there was a stampede among the crowds the procession turning into a crush and desperate efforts to save the lives of people where they felt. The small city unable to deal with the vast numbers that have converged on it rains from across the country had made their way to come on what was supposed to be so the moneys final procession. I come here because i love gen so the money im going to be in i am a sunni from bending a bass and we want to show that we are also here for him. To get on the net this is something small i can do for gender insulin money just to come here and even though hes not with us his philosophy continues so the money had requested to be buried in his home city alongside those that died fighting in the iran iraq war during the 1980 s. He was killed in a u. S. Airstrike in iraq last friday and people are still calling for revenge. The head of irans revolutionary guard made this promise. Im saying the final word for. 1st we will avenge harshly be certain because we are telling the enemy we will avenge if you respond we will burn the place you love and they themselves know where it is the. Politicians gathered in parliament declaring death to america no compromise no surrender and revenge. And voting to designate the pentagon and us forces terrorist organizations. All those who all did as well as the perpetrators of this crime who are with the pentagon and the military accounted as terrorists for days crowds have taken to the streets to honor and pay their respects to cost and so the money the tragic events of tuesday in kind of man have i did even more grief before iran decides to take its next move i said big al jazeera. Well to the pentagon says it expects iran to retaliate against the United States the fence secretary mark esper has called for the escalation but warned that the u. S. Is prepared to end any war with iran let me reiterate that the United States is not seeking a war with iran but we are prepared to finish one we are seeking a diplomatic solution but 1st this will require iran to deescalate it will require the regime to come to the table with a go preventing further bloodshed and it will require them to cease their malign activities throughout the region as ive said were open to having this discussion with them but were just as prepared to deliver a forceful response to defend our interests john hendren joins me now from washington d. C. So john weve heard a list of u. S. Officials in the last few hours every year to rating i guess that they thought sulaimani was a legitimate target what do you think the administrations message is right now though. Well its clear the administration doesnt feel theyve gotten that message out because theyve had this coordinated effort 1st like pompei o. The secretary of state came out then mark esper the defense secretary and then President Trump himself came out as well in an Oval Office Meeting to reiterate that same message 1st of all that killing school money was justified that he was posing an imminent threat to american lives and 2nd of all that that did not justify war with iran that iran would be overreacting to engage in a larger military conflict. The president didnt offer evidence and thats what a lot of his critics are looking for right now joe biden a democrat who is now among those running for the president s office said that we havent been given significant information he said if there was an imminent threat that required extraordinary action then we are owed that explanation and the facts to back it up there was a small group of people in congress who were given access to that one of them Jackie Speier was on the Intelligence Committee said that she did not find the information very specific so the administration is now offering to present evidence to a Broader Group of members of congress in the coming days however it is being criticized for launching this attack after both the obama administrations and the george w. Bush administrations have the opportunity to attack giuliani and did not do so so what theyre looking for is a smoking gun specific evidence that he was about to do something that was going to cause the death of americans in iraq or elsewhere thats what the Administration Says it has but it hasnt presented it so far and many of the president s critics seem unconvinced john hendren with the latest there from washington d. C. John saying. Well iraqs outgoing Prime Minister says the u. S. Is no alternative and must pull its troops out of the country are the loved math he wants the american soldiers to go home to avoid a further escalation of tensions some of binge of ideas in baghdad and says comments by u. S. Officials have contradicted what was discussed in the iraqi leaders Cabinet Meeting every time a u. S. Official comes to the podium it kind of raises more questions than. We have been hearing from u. S. Department of defense in the u. S. About that of state directly contradicting what the iraqi Prime Minister has been telling his cabinet and the people by large he has been saying that this letter was the official communication that he received there was a discrepancy in the english and arabic texts he sent it back and the amended that text and a few hours later they said it was a mistake but they havent said it officially hes only heard it on the media so here is an american ally and partner in the fight against terrorism and i still who finds themselves at odds and im quite sure that the iraqi Prime Ministers office is going to be scratching their heads and how to reply to these officials who are directly contradicting their leader but today he made his point again as he met the cabinet ministers and said that only a way out is for foreign troops to leave and that is something that he has been making clear to World Leaders as well as the u. S. Ambassador. How do you. Know we have suggested to the parliament that the Foreign Forces should leave the country we dont have many other options all the assassinations have made people angry and people are saying we dont want these forces to stay in our country there was no reason no option to quieten the people and the show safety except for this particular position i. E.

An act of will combined with an act of terrorism against a senior official republic of iran and a citizen of iran and we are bound to protect our citizens. By the United States had other at much. Greater creating so many people outside iran inside iraq that will have consequences for the United States and i believe the most important consequence is that the days of the United States in this region are not. The democrats have been dealt a blow by the leading republican in the u. S. Senate who says he has enough support from his party to set the rules for the president s impeachment trial which mcconnell is resisting the democrats efforts to bring new witnesses to testify in order to speed the trial up. We have the votes. Once the impeachment trial has gone. To pass a resolution essentially the same very similar to the 100 to nothing vote in the clinton trial which sets up as you may recall what could best be described as it may be a phase one which would include obviously the arguments from the prosecution arguments from the defense and then period of written questions. The u. N. Says more than 3000000. 00 syrian civilians are trapped in a war zone in syria province and are completely dependent on cross border aid its urging the Security Council to extend the mandate for that aid which is due to expire in days after a resolution was blocked by russia and china meanwhile russias president Vladimir Putin has visited syria to meet president Bashar Al Assad according to the kremlin both leaders were discussing military strategy Russian Forces have been fighting alongside the Syrian Government since 2050 tipping the balance in assads favor well still to come in this half hour.

It is really an Opposition Leader one has retaken his seat as speaker of the National Assembly after an attempted takeover by allies of president Nicolas Maduro before he was allowed to Enter Parliament was a standoff with Security Forces would block them from entering 2 days ago in his absence socialist said elected as House Speaker a supporter of president maduro which gave him control of the legislature but i fled from parliament once where i dont gain access to the building. Here and. I swear to field my duties of president in charge to look for solutions to the crises to be able to live with dignity prosperity and bring back humanity to read it. If i were to do so may god reward. A cable or less in america is in the sea and human is live for more and this is the see it whats the significance of what happened earlier has recovered his position as president of the National Assembly it doesnt mean that hes recovered his position clearly the government is going to continue to recognize luis. Alleged opposition member but who actually is supported and was voted in by the minority progovernment faction but it at least means that he is back at least appears to have been able to have overcome the obstacles and have reclaimed his seat even if it was only for a day and that is symbolically very very important he said a short while ago that the bravery of the deputies shows that they could open the door of the parliament and very soon they will quote open the door of democracy in venezuela it is again symbolic but it is still a very very chaotic situation to say the very least we dont know if next week he and his and the opposition deputies will be allowed back in but at least he thinks he is now gaining a little bit of momentum after 4 or 5 months of very little of it in fact his popularity was dropping we understand that he is now calling for people to come back out into the streets and to demonstrate again you believe that hes going to be able to get Popular Support well have to see if you will to rustle up that kind of support. The c. E. O. Why 7 do you think the president did this is it a strategic move from him. Gary is there a lot of pressure from abroad thats very clear and if he had not wanted why go on the opposition deputies to go in today he could have stopped it as he did on sunday by putting out a far larger force of security for its National Guardsman exactly out on the street he seems to be to have an agenda here what it is exactly we dont know but there is speculation that this could be an attempt to show that there is chaos mainframe in the congress and that this is yet another reason to bring forward parliamentary elections that would allow him as he has said made over and over again to or not him but his and his ruling party the socialist party to gain the control through votes of the only institution that he does not control and thats the legislature unless america it is to see a new man speaking to us from qatar.

But only one complained on a crowd of 50 see him hitting the students with on bars. This student says he was also beaten up but doesnt want to bury his parents by believing his identity. When i called the police they asked me what is. Really is that they didnt help us. Instead they facilitated the exit of the government. Some people including loyal mungle are now suspect police let happen and allowed the street lights to be switched off outside the campus so those responsible could not be identified late in the adjoining states were all on. The lights are definitely off and when you are there by around 12 oclock. So its not definitely going to be a hit in the system or something. Activists and journalists were assaulted and taunted outside the campus as the police were. The students who were beaten up see many of their attackers were from the. Students union affiliated with the governing hindu nationalist b. G. P. But the a. B. Repeat denies it was behind the attack and instead says its members were the ones beaten up earlier that day the police say they have launched an investigation or. Senior officers of the crime branch and local police visited the attack site and we found vital clues so we are working on that and hopefully we will crack this case.

You know a court in cyprus says given a 19 year old british woman a 4 month sentence suspended for 3 years for lying about being gang raped by a group of young israeli men it means that she can now leave cyprus and go home but her legal team insists they will fight on to prove her innocence in cyprus a Supreme Court or the European Court of human rights they say that she was questioned without a lawyer and police for storage to retract the accusation or a chalons reports from cyprus. Arriving at court in power limmy the british teenager was met by a crowd of supporters. Most of these women came from israel eager to make their views clear on cypruss criminal Justice System i can see with my eyes so many failures that happen here also as an israeli i think about these youngsters who came back to my country. And they came and returned with no with no idea why inside the courts the 19 year old was told by the judge she was giving her a 2nd chance a suspended sentence for public mischief that in effect mean shed go by the 1st time in 6 months my mother then came out to speak. Thank you could anyone argue that standing up to date having been named having thank you for making sure that we get justice thank you all of you from finding out.

And israel and whether the Justice System here is working as it should be the teenagers legal team point to a list of potential Police Violations questioning her with no neuer or translator present and not reporting what was said to the Police Officers word against the victim. And of course theres no recourse for the victim so we are hoping that if this kid is does go to the European Court of human rights that the problem can be redress to and the perhaps cyprus can fall into line with other modern jurisdictions for separate lawyer thinks the country. It is too little to help women i believe we have a culture that the means to start changing when it comes to violence against women. And it is this culture that creates the systemic problems that we are facing here in cyprus the case has disturbed relations between london and nicosia to my 1st concern to be how wealthy we will be following up on something issues in relation to the case i spoke to the Cypriot Foreign minister about that but there was also a warning from the u.
