A london bus tour taking in the sights of alleged nigerian Money Laundering property deals. Ok lets begin with the latest on the fallout from mondays secession referendum in the kurdish region of Northern Iraq now initial results say ninety two percent voted yes to secede but pressure on kurdish leaders. Is on the increase in iraq is demanding the vote be an old the countrys parliament has called on the Prime Minister to deploy troops to disputed areas including the oil rich city of kirkuk that area is controlled by Kurdish Military units but officially its governed by baghdad the iraqi Prime Minister also says the kurdish leadership must relinquish control of border crossings and oil revenues several International Airlines have agreed to baghdads request to avoid flying into airports managed by the regional authorities from friday lets get more on the story for you the iraqi leader told the parliament moments ago they are not looking for an Armed Conflict. We will impose our federal authority all over iraq including the kurdistan region as per the power of the constitution and law we are not making a threat some people have threatened us in this region and some have resorted to force to impose a status quo in these regions we will use all the tools offered by the constitution and how we will surprise them because we talk less and our actions are louder than words ok lets look back at the past twenty four hours or so Charles Stratford has more on the reaction to that vote out of erbil. Celebrations on the streets of appeal up to ninety two percent of voters said yes to secession from the kurdish region of Northern Iraq. The referendum is very important it will for my future and i hope at least that baghdad will support us eventually to be independent. Of the federal government in baghdad has called the referendum on constitutional and hes refusing to even recognize the result let alone start negotiations with the Kurdish Regional government ok allergy of the future independence for iraqs. Events of the last few days here can only be described as some of the most momentous in these regions history but the political ramifications are massive the threats continue from the baghdad governments and neighboring countries and theres a sense here of great uncertainty as to what could happen next. The federal government has threatened to close the Regions International airspace it could heal thor it is dont hand over control of the two main airports by a friday deadline turkey is threatening to cut off the kayleigh g. s oil pipeline and close the land border turkey is the biggest supplier of goods and food to the k r j we can not feed ourselves. We dont have that much power. And threats that a body is making of the same as the saddam regime may be but the kurds dont have a life if they stay with baghdad. They may be determination among the people who have wanted a country of their own for generations but the celebrations here may not last long. But al jazeera has built. But all of us democrat has come out in support of an independent kurdish state despite opposition to the holding of the referendum from russia iran iraq and the us governments as well as the e. U. And the un secretary general Chuck Schumer leads the democrats in the senate hes calling on the u. S. Government to recognize what he called mondays historic vote he says it should back the creation of an independent kurdish state. I mean happiness on the streets bordering on euphoria but a dramatically different reaction all around iraq. Yes all around iraq and also. In the International Community they havent really had sort of big statements. Except for the president of the region we also. Which is due to run for referendum in a couple of days the same sort of. People. There was asking them so youre happy with the results they were fairly sure that the yes vote would go through with the resoundingly victory but everyone would tell you the same breath they knew that the problems will start. Today and the head of the airport here near being confirmed to me on the phone that starting tomorrow friday all international flights. Because the airspace in this is still on the. Baghdad and the airport here comes under the control of baghdad is there any light at the end of the tunnel here. As we dont want iraq iraq is it is it his settled opinion that he can only go so far with this. Certain point both. Iraqi Prime Minister and the kurdish president. Push it too far because the likelihood. Is very real its already happened twice in the past. The brink of a civil war back in two thousand and eight for example troops went into. One of the disputed territories ended. In this referendum if. They were really moments away. From beginning beginning a conflict do you. Know that it takes very little if you start deploying troops face to face it would take very little really to spark an Armed Conflict. Really also back down because they also have a Public Opinion to deal with they have regional players to deal with very complicated situation when you speak to the kurds they say if we knew that this was going to happen the people. Have been through so much already bracing ourselves but the reality of their bill today for example is no the reality a very big. This is now an International City i mean theres a lot of. People living here it has an airport is has an economy its built it has modern roads so theres a lot to lose. In case of an Armed Conflict something nobody wants but publicly for the next few days at least were going to hear still some quite bold statements coming from both sides. Military. Strikes of.

N. S. C. R. Of interfering with the sovereignity of sri lanka saying that the range of muslims had no place here and they would just bring the threat of terrorism back to this country now most of that group of thirty one.

A Lebanese Military court is any day now due to liver its verdict in the trial of a controversial sunni cleric. Is facing charges linked to a battle with Government Troops in twenty thirteen in which eighteen soldiers and two civilians were killed forty of alycia supporters. Also died in the fighting which was a spillover from the war in neighboring syria correspondent contest time following that of beirut for us and she has whats happening there today. Well hes or this hearing hes still ongoing we understand that the lawyers representing the prosecution have been getting their final submissions to the court and then what we understand is that the judges of this military courts will then know how to call in a recess where they will then discuss the merits of this case and then it could live or their sentencing good as you can see behind me a group of people have assembled here these are protesters many of them are the wives and the daughters of the other colored queues of policy or hes being tried with a long around thirty other people but lets take a look back now on how this year approaches to prominence and where we got today where many are expecting he could be sentenced to expect to see the death penalty. It was one of the earliest bloodiest spillovers into lebanon from the civil war in syria named after the town in southern lebanon where it happened the battle of signed on between the Lebanese Army and supporters of ahmed osier lasted for two days described by the government as a sunni militant cleric a list here led the confrontations in which forty fighters loyal to him eighteen soldiers and two civilians were killed alessio was relatively unknown before the syrian war started six years ago he rose to prominence quickly pour his fiery speeches on t. V. Criticizing has below ports support of syrian president Bashar Al Assad and praising the opposition including what was then the group known as joe but on this or. A link to al qaeda i think a less serious connection to the syrian a rise in an extremist negative i used as a showman or militant groups is kind of is is a kind of banking he was kept at ising on this on this side or the two and investing on that in order to create his own his own supporting or support base and not and he was successful to a certain extent into about after going into hiding a less year was arrested two years later at beirut airport while trying to board a flight to cairo then there was little doubt he faced serious charges but his trial in a military court along with thirty others has been repeated be delayed and human Rights Groups have questioned how some of the evidence was obtained despite the doubts a list here is expected to be sentenced to death for his role in the battle but whether hes hanged is unclear. As you know lebanon has been carried out how little punishment two thousand and four and it that is he see what these judges in this military courts to rule as their sentencing for all of us here he will need to go to the president in order to get his signature to sign up what essentially will be that execution order but many believe that seven forty seven a err on the side of caution and may offer her a life sentence as it were we are hearing that many of the photos you see again many of these women family members of his co excuse for hearing that those people who have been tried alongside of here will also likely face i think the prison sentences but as weve been saying the judges had yet to announce just what they will do with the fate of those men but perhaps more importantly zealous here in jazz ok told you later. Israel has hosted a lavish ceremony marking fifty years of jewish settlements in the occupied west bank and the Golan Heights the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu of the settlements will never be removed they are however illegal under International Law history forsett. It was branded a state a vent produced as a t. V.
