Iraqs government is increasing pressure on Kurdish Regional leaders following mondays a session referendum official results say ninety two percent of those who voted said yes to say. Iraqs Central Government says the vote was Illegal Parliament has called on Prime Minister body to deploy troops to disputed areas including the oil rich city of kirkuk that area is managed by Kurdish Military units but officially governed by baghdad a body says the kurdish leadership must relinquish control of border crossings and oil revenues several International Airlines have agreed to baghdads request to stop flying into airports manage by the Regional Government from friday Turkeys Foreign Ministry has advised its citizens to leave the area before flights are suspended turkeys president rejected better one is warning against Ethnic Division in the region following the verdict. The issue in Northern Iraq is not related to any partys right to establish a state the main issue here is the support for the parties are willing to wait for endless clashes in the region by distorting the unity togetherness and solidarity of the regions peoples the region has already suffered a lot. And the ethnic conflicts will hurt more we have to calculate who will benefit from this situation. Joins us now to tell us more about the regional concerns and that. Coming from iran and turkey. They consider this referendum as a threat to their own National Security you have to bear in mind that they have a sizable kurdish. And those two countries and while the referendum was happening here they were sort of celebrations and they were even messages of support from those kurdish populations whether from iran from i was this referendum actually on the celebrations a night of the referendum itself we saw kurds who had crossed the border where to come here not to vote but to be part of that and many say that it was very symbolic even for them even if it had no direct week and all that they were hoping for it would be the way for them to also forge ahead with some sort of maybe autonomy or any kind of so that selfdetermination and what happens now politically. From here. Well thats the Million Dollar question i mean people are expecting that there is there will be. Problems when you take when you house them they tell you well we knew that we knew about the reaction of the new. Bring countries expect. The reaction from baghdad at the moment what were seeing is that it seems at least that baghdad. And ankara are coordinating together what their response will be the first step is obviously the suspension of all International Flights starting fifteen g. M. T. Friday there we saw the parliament in baghdad for the morning for iraqi forces to be redeployed to the disputed territories derridas it took part in the referendum and but also minorities live and its not really clear what the position of the different minorities to was that referendum is obviously the issue of. A lifeline for both baghdad and its a very complicated matters coming ahead and i think in the coming few days do this situation will be much clearer we do know that the. Regional government is meeting at the moment and from what we know theyre discussing. There was bones words baghdad but the official position is that they cannot they can no more and no longer be partners with the Central Government in baghdad on how to thank you. As wary is associate professor in contemporary history of the middle east at Qatar University he says iraq iran and turkey are coordinating their response to the referendum. We have to expect more pressure on kurdistan i think this is these are the first step of the pressure. Kurdistan and. They have to show good willingness. To the Central Government and they have not done this yet and i think and listen they do that unless they confirm that you know they are willing to cooperate and to coordinate further steps and actually the request of on the Central Government is actually to to. Announce that this referendum is illegal im not sure that the kurdistan will be able to do this after the ninety two percent of the you know voters said yes for and so could the stand and the severe pressure if the International Community would not intervene to do anything i think has to play with the regional players and to give a concession so they can go ahead on their steps or at least accept the fact of that and instead should be done with the coordination with the government and by that. A top u. S. Politician has come out in support of an independent kurdish state leads the democrats in the senate hes calling on the u. S.

The verdict in the trial of a controversial sunni muslim cleric is expected later on thursday in lebanon alice is accused of meeting a shootout in two thousand and thirteen eighteen lebanese soldiers died along with forty of his supporters and two civilians well from his time in beirut. From the outset of all its years rusty prosecution has been pushing for the Death Penalty however the Death Penalty has not been carried out here in lebanon in two thousand and four and perhaps more importantly for such a sentence to be handed down and to be carried out it would require the signature of the president michel on to endorse this sentence seems so many believe that there is some suggestion that the courts could err on the side of caution and come down with a verdict or a sentencing if you will of life in prison whatever the case as weve been saying these people here who have come here in support of those who are being tried are saying that they have no faith in this force and that they dont believe that the trial has been fair. 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 a seer 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.

Connection to the syrian. Values in extremis minute to minute or militant groups is kind of is is a kind of banking he was kept on this on this rising over the two and investing on that in order to create his own his own supporting group or support base in london and he was successful to a certain extent in doing about after going into hiding here 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 that doubts all this year is expected to be sentenced to death for his role in the battle but whether hes hanged is unclear under lebanese law any execution order must be approved by the president but Capital Punishment hasnt been used here since two thousand and four and although ahmed al this year has very little obvious support across lebanon president michel own likely doesnt have the sort of political backing he needs in order to carry out such a punishment in aljazeera beirut.

Its time for the weather now heres richard with news of hurricanes and developing storms in north america yes satellite imagery some to be quite confused with north america chain but if you take a picture behind me it actually paints his own picture really there weve got our hurrican there weve got a really active front which is split in north american two and also another one coming into or specific northwest lets move it all along the system is moving south eastwards there weve got maria and lena both of these systems are now because of this frontal system being pushed into atlantic being swept up into the general sort of pattern and will be flowing towards the u. K. In coming days but obviously Just Incorporated within the normal weather systems but this front is a key feature to have a look at how its affecting the temperatures weve already seen temperatures dropping quite dramatically across eastern parts of canada in the last twenty four hours and those drops in temperatures will continue this front pushes further towards the southeast so thats put some weather on much chart there and there you can see the the bulk of the rain clearing away so fine conditions but certainly cooling off as we go from thursday through to friday drops three or four times there for new york and washington d. C. Also looking fairly unsettled in parts of the Desert Southwest a chance of some showers there meanwhile weve got another area of low pressure developing across eastern parts of cuba so it chance for a tropical depression forming not much more than this state weve got some heavy rain there already but certain the coming days that heavy rain extending northward into parts of florida thanks richard still ahead on aljazeera donald trump as hes way congress will pass the biggest tax overhaul in u.

U. S. President donald trump is proposing the biggest overhaul of tax in three decades it cuts the number of tax brackets from seven to three dropping the highest rate but raising the rate paid by the poorest taxpayers critics say it will help the wealthy dodge their fair share of taxes. Tom says itll help the middle class but the documents his administration released offered few details that could cost more than two trillion dollars over the next decade according to a preliminary estimate by the committee for a responsible federal budget and watches cosponsored committee has the latest from washington d. C. Committee chums plans being called ambitious isnt well it certainly is ambitious in terms of the fact that it is revamping or proposing to revamp the u. S. Tax code which has become very burdensome and cumbersome for many ordinary americans who have to hire Tax Professionals to navigate it so these changes are sweeping some of the biggest that have been seen in probably eight decades but heres the thing it may not happen this is just the first draft and in terms of the cheers in the juniors well where is the truth it lies like with most issues somewhere in the middle whats significant about this is that the the president is proposing to simplify taxes by cutting the number of tax brackets are how much people pay in terms of the percentage of their paycheck the other thing it helps to do is help the middle class a big Campaign Promise by reducing things that a lot of people consider absurd like being taxed when you die being taxed when you get married offering tax incentives for the elderly and children so there are many things that a lot of middle class people would like but again the controversy in there is the big tax cuts for the wealthiest americans which is where the controversy lies and its going to be tough to push through congress because the bottom line is in all of this is that certainly the president is looking for a legislative victory so far as it had one when it comes to health care this is what hes pinning his hopes on now its going to be a tough sell to us what about the controversy. Right well in terms of the contract controversy the bottom line is that donald trump and weve heard this on the campaign trail repeatedly is that he feels america is no longer competitive that because Corporate Taxes have been so high roughly thirty five percent and what hes proposing is to bring down to twenty percent these jobs have been leaving going overseas china a big competitor of course for the United States has a fifteen percent Corporate Tax rate so American Companies have been saying we cant compete were going to china donald trump wants to bring those Companies Back he wants to bring with it jobs that he believes would be created as a result but the critics the democratic critics are saying we cant trust corporations to do that and so this really comes down to where you lie in the political spectrum whether or not you believe the president s socalled sort of trickle down economics something we saw in the reagan years really works this is what hes banking on but its get its going to be very hard to push it through congress was before post now if it happens very much likely to be different with it finally does become law thanks kimberly. A trade dispute is threatening the jobs of thousands of aircraft workers on both sides of the atlantic the argument involves the u. S.

Its a project that israels Prime Minister for the second time in a month vowed would never be reversed last year your. Im saying this very clearly we will never operate settlements in the land of israel its not only a matter of connection to the homeland its not the way to make peace.

This is a commemoration of south korean troops that happens every year it marks the day that South Koreans broke through the border with north korea in one hundred fifty during the korean war. But of course the timing this year is significant and its an opportunity for the south Korean Military to send messages to the north its taking place for the first time at a very important strategic naval base that is responsible for patrolling the western waters where there have been in the past conflicts with north korea along the sea border and it is an opportunity to display to the public for the first time some strategic silos that south korea has at its disposal weve seen shows of force using those missiles in recent days and weeks when north korea for example launched a missile over japan and south korea responded by launching a missile of its own into waters off the country but in that case the distance that it traveled was significant because it displayed to north korea that it could at target the launch site from which north korea launched its missile so this is all as we talk about often messaging shows of force messages to the north south korea says it has the power to overwhelm north korea it doesnt want to have to use that but its this message of deterrence that south korea together with the United States has the military might to take on north korea if necessary tourists visiting london usually take a trip to Buckingham Palace or big ben some of joined a tour with a difference to expose Money Laundering and other financial crimes committed by foreigners talk received is organized by Anti Corruption campaign is the latest focus is a nigerian money entering the u.

Close member of president.

To name to be extradited as they would probably have to to prove to the satisfaction of the judge that mr rich would get a fair trial in russia which i think any objective observer of the russian political scene would would say the chances of that happening at basically zero so i think it would be very difficult for. Russia to get mr zero chunk of extraditing night i guess i hope for his sake that doesnt happen because it would it would be in a very difficult situation if you if you went back. Ok.
