His 1st friday sermon in 8 years. Fly by that volcano in the philippines getting a birds eye view of the damage caused what it erupted. And was Khalifa Haftar has held talks with greeces Prime Minister in athens as part of International Efforts to end the conflict in his country after as in greece ahead of a peace conference on libya that will be held in berlin on sunday athens has criticized its own exclusion from the un backed talks it says it should be included because tripoli has signed a maritime a military deal with its regional rival turkey. So heres one of them is would. Think if we continue to believe that you to the current circumstances our presence in germany should have been viewed as something positive since we will not be there we expect germany the host to be the protector of europe stands on issues concerning livea europe has a clear position has expressed in the last european meeting a common position recognizes the accord signed between tripoli and turkey as invalid aljazeera as John Psaropoulos in athens says the talks are focusing on greeces strategic concerns and that the. We still dont know whether theres going to be any statement after the meeting between general have torn the Prime Minister and that meeting is still ongoing as far as we know but we do know what was said earlier in general have to his meeting with because then the as the foreign minister mr then the us told reporters after that he and general have to have agreed that among general have to us aims of the peace conference to secure a ceasefire and security in his country should be the pursuit of the. A blockade against any other reaching the warring sides a departure of foreign mercenaries that have played such a large part in this war and also in a no mint of the maritime jurisdiction agreement reached by half those rival the government in tripoli with turkey last november that is an agreement greece has taken particular objection to because it infringes upon areas in the mediterranean that greece also sees as its maritime jurisdiction belonging to its eastern asian islands and so it wants that agreement to know that is its main concern in these talks but of course it is aligned with its European Union allies and partners in wanting International Law to prevail in libya and an agreement thats acceptable to all sides they will have to has written a letter to russias president Vladimir Putin thanking him for his efforts in trying to resolve the libyan conflict was a serious step as more for us in moscow. The press service of the kremlin has just made public that i have to have send a letter to president putin to reaffirm his willingness to go to moscow again to continue the dialogue the peace talks and he also said mr president my dear friend i wish to express my personal gratitude and appreciation to russia for efforts towards establishing peace and stability in libya and this is all of course very interesting because this latter comes a little over 4 days after have to pretty much embarrass president putin after he left moscow there were peace negotiations going on for more than 7 hours so russia the Prime Minister of the u. S. Backed government in libya had signed this cease fire agreement and have to ask some time until the morning to think about it and then suddenly in the middle of the night left moscow without any signature so this was seen as a failure of course for moscow and for president putin and this letter now seems to be safe face saving operation to make sure that russia is back in the game sources close to iraqs investigation into the assassination of an iranian top general told us here a detailed information of how the u. S. Attack took place theyve been telling us why a custom samari was in baghdad and theyve revealed the reason why he met the former leader of the Popular Mobilization forces the 100. 00 stores called lived out of baghdad get board from aljazeera. Been java so whats the iraqi version of the story. Later on this is the 1st time that the iraqi an iraqi high ranking official has spoken to the media about killing of general passenger livonian a woman at the elbow hundreds according to the details provided to us it took about 64 to 6 minutes for silly money to leave the plane get to the location before he was targeted by a drone. The iraqi officials confirming that earlier speculation that whether this was a helicopter or a drone because there were Many Coalition helicopters in the air at that point there were some speculation that he could have been targeted by another missile and they are confirming that it was a hellfire missile fired by a drone which targeted still in money other interesting details about how silly money was driving in a convoy of 2 cars with. Toyota sedan and hyundai. Total of 10 people were killed in that attack according to iraqi forces and when asked why were there 3 missiles fired when they were only to cause this official told us that the 2 missiles targeted each vehicle 1st and then a 3rd misfire was fired at the car that money was in when i asked about whether arrests have been made because there have been many reports about some involvement on the iraqi side airport officials are Airline Officials this this gentleman in the Iraqi Government said that they cannot confirm or deny whether these arrests have been made but he said that all these reports that youve heard are complete rubbish and the Iraqi Government is still trying to get to the bottom of how it all happened where Iraqi Government sees it as an infringement of its sovereignty and it has claimed that no one from the iraqi side was involved in giving the United States intelligence about silly monies where about a summer youve also been speaking to to Drone Operators and u. S. Commanders where did this drone come from. Well thats very interesting because when we were at the analysts at base i did ask the commanders who were in charge of this drone unit where was this drone flown from because estimates were according to many in the on the iranian side they targeted analysts because that was where allegedly the drone took off from which kills their money but according to these officials analysts said this is not the only place where unarmed aerial vehicles are. Called drones that are operated from it is there they are drone assets that they have in baghdad their drone assets that they have in their drone assets they have and b. And there are drawn assets that they have in analysts at base and it is not just one force which uses these drones it is the United States army which uses drones nets its air force which uses drones and then there is the i. A. E. A. And according to many military analysts this probably was a cia drone again we dont know for sure because nobodys confirmed who used this drone because if air force and army are involved then there is a whole chain of command and the directives are there is the likelihood that the directives would be intercepted at some point so this looks like that attack could have happened from anywhere in iraq there also have grown assets in nearby neighboring kuwait as well and very interesting even military or Drone Operators told us that this essentially could have been a drone which took off from the same runway where silla money landed and it would have been a very short flight and i asked them why how did they know about the attack that targeted them as iran responded a few days later they said using the analogy of a car and went to that they had assets in the air the iraqis were not informing them of everything they figured out and they had hours of notice because they realise that the iranians were up to something and analysts base was put on alert probably 8 to 10 hours before the iranian Ballistic Missiles had hoped. A sum of money thanks to you down to 0 sum a big job that lives for us in baghdad irans Supreme Leader ayatollah ali how many has delivered his 1st friday sermon in 8 he is he said that the u. S. Forces are not safe in the region and beyond thats after the u. S. Killed some solomonic earlier this month how many went on to urge calm after protests over the accidental shooting down of a ukrainian passenger plane he told worshippers to be wary of western misinformation. For he is a professor of world studies of the university of tehran and reflects on what the ayatollah wanted to convey in this respect each iran is think iran and people and i think theyre coming but that doesnt mean that the u. S. Policy is paying off the United States wanted to or overthrow the iranian government they havent been able to get more concessions out of iran theyre losing the concessions and the regular men and they wanted to attack you know military and you dont respond to general so that money is isis a nation showed that you dont has the capability and their ability to use its military capability to attack back so all the people are hurting that doesnt mean the policy of president saddam is paying off and thats the basic message that hes going to send the United States is sanctioning one of the Iranian Revolutionary guards Brigadier Generals for his involvement in a violent crackdown on protesters in november at least 300. 00 people were killed after nationwide protests erupted over increased fuel prices the state Department Special representative for iran made the announcement a short time ago. The United States is listing i. R. G. C. Brigadier general husain shover poor under section 7031 c. Sanctions general shah the poor committed gross violations of human rights against protesters in musher shar he oversaw the massacre of 148 helpless iranians in the mush our region last november general shot a poor was in command of units responsible for the violent crackdown and lethal repression around musher shahr one hour from particle hain is live for us in washington who is this guy paddy whats he alleged to have done well Brigadier General for the Islamic Revolutionary guard corps and you just heard brian hoke there say that they believe he is behind the crackdown on protests around november i believe of last year one of the key things here is they are saying that this information is coming from that tip line the u. S. Set up they say theyve gotten about 88000 phone calls of course theres no way for us to verify that but they said that in from a tip on that line led to these sanctions so what does this mean why does it matter well it really doesnt mean much its a chance for the u. S. To say once again that they are saying a top Iranian Military official but basically what it does is tells him he cant come to the u. S. To i dont know be a tourist it seems highly unlikely that any a radian Brigadier General was going to take his family into the u. S. For vacation so really largely symbolic this is just a chance for the u. S. To say they continue to sanction iran to try continue to promote that tip line that again we have no way of independently verifying exactly how many tips theyre getting or where theyre actually coming from serious political hane live in washington patty many thanks indeed.
