Iraqi kurds bidding farewell to one of them most prominent leaders this is a funeral procession for john town of bani who was iraqi president from two thousand and five to twenty fourteen he died two days ago at the age of eighty three he was widely respected as a mediator between iraqs shia sunni and kurd communities eighty three year old died in a german hospital on tuesday he was flown in to see him and he and his hometown early it is friday and he will be taking place in salem and here today where we find our correspondent who adopted honeyed right now that were watching these live pictures of the funeral procession making it through the streets of so many a tell us about the mood and whats expected in the next few hours. Very somber mood in the city and thats ever since the taliban it was announced a few days ago and im standing in the place where actually the convoy will and and from this point on it because it will be carried it will be taken to a mosque that is down that street it will be followed by all the people here now theyve been lining up just to give you an idea for hours on end since the early hours this is the Early Morning it is very hot here and i have to tell you people have been standing in silence some of them just gazing into nothing others looking really sad and ive been talking to some of these people over the past few days and they said the problem is we knew he was sick we knew he was going to die. The timing of it all just now when you really need someone like jello. Thats the way kurtz to refer to her mom meaning uncle and we really needed him and his experience to walk us through this very difficult time john taliban he was remembered as a great leader throughout you know these past two days tell us about who is attending this funeral especially whos attending from baghdad from the Central Government. Well actually there was a ceremony at the airport where leaders were putting caskets. Reason rather in front of us to ask the. Iraqi president. The successor to runnymede his childhood friend. Of his president barzani we saw the Iranian Foreign minister and when it comes to baghdad we saw the speaker of the parliament and we saw other. Search of the right. Right. Now. In front as of yesterday there was negotiations between the two sides mr by the one thing the body to first be flown to baghdad and then come here and as we understand it the family refused that request this step toward a comes out what is that an uncertain time for iraqi kurds with the independence referendum. Week and the threat of sanctions from the Central Government in baghdad and neighboring countries iran and turkey would disappear look like today for iraqi kurds. Well certainly certainly theyre entering a very turbulent time you know we we hear about neighboring countries threatening to close the border crossings that hasnt happened yet the International Airspace over this region has been shut down at the request of baghdad exactly a week ago. And then theres other measures that baghdad have been taking that when you speak to people they said they did expect that there will be a negative reaction coming from the neighboring countries because of the referendum they do back the referendum but they also say people are worried they dont know whats going to happen next how far this is all going to go and you know bear in mind that also in a in less than a month there will be some president ial and parliamentary elections within the kurdish region itself and that will bring to the surface some of the divisions among the various political factions here as they were sort of buried in the last days before the referendum for example a good chunk of the party that was created. Theres was against holding the referendum at this time in this city to do turnout was very low so you will have all this servicing it was going to be very difficult. To sort of juggle the internal politics and the regional politics and thats whats worrying people the most but i will leave it there for now thank you very much for that.

U. N. Peacekeepers have lowered their flag in haiti thirteen years after entering the country to help it through a political crisis and natural disasters the official peacekeeping mission one and later this month will be replaced by a smaller force that will focus on strengthening the judicial system daniel sheiner reports from haitis capital port au prince. Symbolically ceremoniously the United NationsStabilization Mission said farewell to haiti its a rifle thirteen years ago with a Multinational Force of hundreds of police and soldiers many good intentions. The work of the u. N. Mission was very important for haiti helping us to adapt to modern realities on the ground. The blue helmeted soldiers and police are heading home the u. N. Hoping its done enough to stabilize haiti. And building the police and Army Pacifying lawless neighborhoods working on the election process isnt human rights but the u. It is also left having to clean up a number of problems which it created a cholera epidemic caused by its own troops which killed more than one thousand haitians. It was about time for them to go we are better off without them and we will be fine the u. N. Was here for its own purposes not to help the most vulnerable haitians.
