Lifting the League Trophy just days after becoming south american champions. Hello iraq is stepping up its response to deadly mass protests across the country the army says its deploying commanders to provinces to restore order and setting up what it calls crisis cells to quell the unrests now the announcement comes as at least 14 people were killed in the early hours of thursday thats when Security Forces opened fire to disperse a demonstration and this followed a night of violence in the city of where irans consulate was set on fire to one is calling for firm. Action against protesters iraqs government has also condemned that attack but protesters accused iran of backing a government they are against and protests that began in october have left at least 350. 00 people dead demonstrators are demanding jobs Better Services and a complete overhaul in the political setup we have reporters across iraq and iran on the story dorson jabar isnt iran and how much june is in baghdad but 1st heres a report on the violence overnight by Victoria Gate. Hundreds of antigovernment protesters stormed the compound of the iranian consulate in the jaffa 552 times and blankets and replacing the iranian flag with an iraqi war was to say the symbolic importance of the attack in a shia majority city cannot be understated this is the city where the Ayatollah Khomeini used to live its considered to be you know the heart of the shia muslim world and iran thought that it had the population the iraqi shia population on its side in terms of its you know regional policies clearly thats not the case. Protesters say rand is exerting t. Much power in iraq they wont directly government to take action to limit it was its the 2nd time this month that in a rainy and consulate has been targeted by iraqi protest as 3 weeks ago Security Forces killed to demonstrate is in the city of copula. Both attacks feed into the white antigovernment protest movement that the gulf to iraq since october so its unclear you know what options the government in iran has in response to these protests i dont think they have very good options and as so i suspect right now there is deep panic and paranoia in terror on over what happened today in najaf. The challenge for iran is how to respond without alienating the Shia Community upon which its relied to expand its regional influence Victoria Gate and be al jazeera lets now get an update from a homage on june hes joining us from baghdad what are you hearing about the situation not only in nasiriyah but measure as well. Again i just cant stress enough what a serious escalation this is to this crisis this minute folding across iraq for the past couple of months the fact that you have now had 2 attacks on iranian consulates in shiite holy cities within a matter of weeks this month that really goes to show how much frustration there is even in shiite majority cities toward the government of iran because of the outsized role that they play in the politics of course you had this attack last night that was an attack in which the antigovernment demonstrators they got into that compound in and they set. The iranian consulate ablaze they burned it before the attack happened the staff at the consulate they had escaped through a back door just a few weeks ago i believe it was on november 4th you had a similar attack on the iranian consulate in the shia holy city of kut about up that attack you had the demonstrators scaling of the barricades in front of the consulate screaming for iran to get out of it off so this is a very big deal clearly the shiite majority government here very worried about what exactly this means Going Forward you did have a statement we heard a few hours ago from the top the foreign minister in which they said that this attack was aimed at the attack in egypt was aimed at damaging the historical relations between it off and on but that really is under playing just how much concern there is about this beyond that you also have another Southern City another southern shia majority city and also the and which now were told by medical sources that at least 14 people have been killed as a result of clashes that took place around 3 am this morning in front of a government building between Security Forces and antigovernment demonstrators there all of this of course happening while you have these protests going on in various cities here in baba dead when we venture out into the epicenter of the antigovernment demonstrations we hear again and again from from sun we hear from people across the political spectrum that they are going to continue to come out day after day are frustrated with the. That iraq seems to be caught between so many of its international and regional rivals countries like iran countries like saudi arabia and they want to see that come to an end they want to see into the corruption here they want to see a government that represents the people and they want to complete overhaul of the political system all that being said were now being told that theyre off the military is going to be sending these security cells to some of the provinces to try to quell the protests we dont really know exactly what form thats going to take there is great concern here right now that perhaps that could mean that there is a crackdown looming that perhaps there will be more violence we just dont know well have to wait and see but also weve been told that there is now a curfew that has been put in place in the city of nasiriya until further notice so there is so much going on here right now the protests continue to swell but the fact the matter is despite the violence despite the specter of potentially more violence all the demonstrators that we continue to speak with no matter what city they are in they say they are committed to continuing to come out until they have a government they feel that actually represents them going right thank you for that update from baghdad lets now bring in Dorset Jabari shes joining us from her on and mohamed was saying that theres a lot of concern in iraq over the situation and particularly that attack on the iranian consulates in asia weve heard Officials Say that they want tougher action against those responsible what are we to read into those comments. Well there were very strong comments from the Foreign Ministry spokesperson up awesome sylvie who says that the Iraqi Government has to take decisive and firm action against these aggressors and its something that the iranian government will not tolerate they are holding the Iraqi Government responsible to deal with the situation of course not justice as mohamed mentioned a very important city for iranians is the heart of the clerical establishment that rules the Islamic RepublicAyatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader studied there for many years as well as the founder of the Islamic RepublicAyatollah Khomeini lived there for many many years when he was in exile there is a foundation there named after the son heads that foundation and jeff this city is very important to iran and its relationship with iraq of course at the moments they are very close over the past few years since the rise of eisel in iraq and the assistance that was requested by the Iraqi Government for iran to help them meet that group the iranians have kept that relationship going and they say that theyre in iraq at a advisory capacity in an visor capacity over the past few years and that is continuing that is the reason we are seeing this unrest now the iraqi people saying that they want the rain influence out of their country but the iranians here say that they this protest these protests that have erupted over the past month are being fueled by western powers theyre trying to create a rift in the relationship between these 2 countries who share one of the biggest borders in the region the iranian position is that this unrest will end at the by the Iraqi Government and they erected government alone and they are urging that to happen as soon as possible all right dosage ari thanks for that update from tehran.

Youre the news hour theres plenty more ahead including whats causing people in the democratic republic of congo to turn on those men to keep them safe. And. Mostly peaceful antigovernment protests could be changing. And in sports the rockets now theyre losing streak against the miami heat action from the n. B. A. Thats coming up a little later. But 1st north korea has launched what appears to be 2 missiles into the sea thats according to south korea it comes days after the north ordered or tillery drills near a disputed maritime border last month pyongyang fired 2 rockets into the sea of japan just all denuclearization talks with the United States right mcbride is following this from seoul he says the launch comes after a period of relative calm. 2 projectiles we dont know if they were short range missiles or rockets but there have been launch of both in the past and if its confirmed then this is now the 13th such launch that weve seen in recent months it has been it has to be said relatively quiet the past few weeks the last launch took place was of a new multiple Rocket Launcher that north korea was testing that took place at the end of october weve had a period of inactivity it seems on the part of north koreas missile testing but it has to be said that they have been trying to apply pressure in other ways interestingly last weekend north Korean Leader kim jong un paid a visit to an artillery unit on an island in the maritime border area between north and south korea and oversaw a an artillery firing exercise which irked people here in south korea no end because of course that goes against completely the spirit of the pyongyang declaration that was reached at the end of last year during all of that at the summit diplomacy that was taking place and it was seen as a way of north korea showing its frustration at the stalled negotiations or as a way of putting pressure on south korea and also it shows just how the relations have cooled since those heady days of a year ago. Antigovernment protesters in hong kong are celebrating president Donald Trumps decision to sign human rights bills which back their movements but its angered beijing and threatens to derail u. S. China trade talks so under the law which has bipartisan support washington can impose sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials deemed responsible for human rights abuses it also requires the state department to review Hong Kong Special trading status each year and sales of tear gas rubber bullets and other equipment used by Security Forces will be banned in response china has accused america of having sinister intentions its some in the u. S. Ambassador and has threatened to respond with countermeasures Andrew Thomas is in beijing and he says chinas Foreign Ministry is furious with the u. S. And as were saying has vowed to retaliate. The practicalities of potential sanctions associated with workplace disparagingly careers the socalled hong kong human rights and democracy act all one thing but what the Chinese Government has already reacted to is the symbolism but the may have passing this. And they are furious about it now on the one hand they see about hong kong because they say the. U. S. Is essentially encouraging the violence in. China part of china is internal affairs but this is also the Chinese Government about disrespect that the u. S. Lawmakers have with china a rule not just about hong kong a little bit of the. Exposes the malicious and the head. Of u. S. Intentions to the Chinese People and that u. S. Attempts are bound to fail because Chinese People rally in opposition to this kind of the high now any potential countermeasures on mentioned as yet but china is promising. To kill you if what is now in law is actually implemented if sanctions and other actions follow. Lets bring in david zweig his of the the director of Transnational China Consulting and prof at Hong Kong University of science and technology hes joining us from hong kong thanks very much of davids wife for being with us on the aljazeera news hour lets just 1st look into chinas response its promising countermeasures what does that mean and what can china practically do. Well most of us whove been thinking about this would say that theres really not that much that china can do you know you can look at. Say they dont import that much from the United States right now so its hard to punish the United States through cutting back on imports for example liquid natural gas they import a lot of gas from the United States but theyve already stopped doing that soybeans lobsters all that stuff they theyve stopped already doing that during the trade war so theres not much that they have on that side on the other side they want to continue to be able export so they dont really want to intensify the trade war because they you know if you see jinping you need to export more because youre losing jobs in south china firms are moving out of china moving into vietnam and cambodian places so you dont really have all that much leverage and when you look at the bill itself and what donald trump has actually signed in fact these 2 bills how does this actually impact the protesters there is a belief by some that this could motivate the prodemocracy protesters in hong kong do you agree with that. Sure i think this is a big boost for them and its a boost you know we just had this. Local the local elections here for the for the local councils and they did the riff the democrats or the Democratic Forces did very well so theres were not you know hong kong is a bit on a bit of a high right now the the danger is that if the protesters continue to to become violent or use violence again then and think that they are somewhat protected then i think china could argue very easily that the United States has fostered some degree of violence you know and really interfered to this point i think theres no way you can accuse the United States of really doing much except improving the the context shaping the situation here so that the protesters felt that that someone was watching them and understanding them but now you theyve really i think to a certain extent intervened in in hong kongs affairs in chinas affairs and why do you think if a United Ireland has taken the decision now why its a why why now. Well. You know 1st of all the the congress has been wanting to do this for a while there are a lot of people in the United States congress particularly rubio who are very anti china i mean theres no doubt look i mean you know this has been a terrible time here in hong kong there are accusations of Police Brutality there are lots of concerns here but at the same time you know the United States well actually once one good explanation for this is that theres been a domestic battle in the United States between the the department of state and the congress and the Congress Wants a much tougher line on china and hong kong particularly on the fact that there was already in 1902 an agreement. Hong kong policy act and the congress was very upset that the United States was not pushing that the the department of state was not pushing hard enough according to that agreement every year they should have been writing a report about what was going on and on kong and they wouldnt do it and so congress decided that they were going to put the state departments feet to the fire and so they decided to pass this act which is really well now put a lot more pressure on the state department to evaluate the situation on kong every year so i think thats a lot of why they did it all right to davids why we thank you very much for joining us from hong kong armed groups have carried out new attacks in the eastern democratic republic of congo 2 Health Workers were killed and kotto at a World Health Organization base while its comes as residents protest against what they see as inaction by u. N. Peacekeepers tossed with keeping them safe lets get an update from Catherine Sawyer shes joining us from goma youve been following this story catherine what are you seeing now whats the update. Well these attacks happened last night and let me just start with the cattle where 3 people actually were killed 2 of them. Health organization agents one a driver several vehicles were also burned were told several people were also badly injured in this happened in the compound of w. H. O. Where this people which are also the stuff. Is a mining area about 70 kilometers from the town another attack happened at another. Compound where stuff workers work and also where they sleep this attack was quickly repulsed by government soldiers. Attacks are being blamed on a local rebel group theyre called my my and as you mentioned this all comes at a time when people in beni in neighboring with and here in goma have been protesting very angry about the state of security heres a story we did. Another tense day in. A protest is shot dead by a policeman on saturday. The policeman was later killed by an angry mob. They marched through the city with his body in a way to the area where he was shot in the head. The bodies one of 6 people who have been killed. Over the weekend people here are not and their anger is directed to the u. N. Peacekeeping mission called one school they blame the peacekeepers for failing to protect them from a tox from an armed group in the area called allied Democratic Forces or. The un mission has also been accused of using Excessive Force of protest as one of our peacekeepers showed that a protester was throwing molotov cocktails at. The peacekeepers so we are still in the process so very fine old socks and Fact Checking the ripples we have received in the midst of all this another tragedy happened and morning attack by a. T. F. On a village about 30 kilometers from benny more than a dozen people hopped to death with machetes some of them the copy tape had. Gone the streets of benny is also being felt many kilometers south and north with provisional capital was. Protesters here have expressed their Frustration Police have been deployed to keep them from getting too important says this is just a small group of people who have. Fired tear gas at protest the balls of blood libel thats in the air to define them this one here this is people much more all what is going on in bed me they think killing us although the United Nations me john. One move must leave this country. The message was clear and they told us no matter what force is used to remove them from the streets theyll keep coming back until the demands of the people. That dont need money we are tired i come from ah people are being slaughtered they un and our soldiers are there and doing nothing why then all this force is there if not to protect our people. They finished their potus at a police station. They paid their last tribute to battle. And back in bed he was buried by Family Friends and hundreds of other protesters determined to keep the pressure on until the violence stops. Crucial in containing a boy which has affected many people in beni and surrounding areas theyve also evacuated some of their nonessential Staff Members and joining me to discuss this further is dr margaret haris whos this spokesperson for w. Thank you very much. On tuesday just tell us about your experience and the situation in beni so the protests have been going on there as you know for more than a week and more than a week and they were stimulated as you said by reprisals against the local population by a group called the a. T. F. Who are different from the my my that you mentioned earlier but the population felt unprotected for most of the time we did not feel that we are target we did not feel that we are a target in beni but we felt it was prudent to reduce our footprint and to bring as many people back to possible and i was one of those who left in the early hours of Tuesday Morning because it was unsafe to travel during the day and tell us about the situation in these 2 areas where the attacks happened last night in terms of. In terms of operations so right now were reassessing were looking at who can stay safely who cannot what primary concern is the safety of our staff but were also balancing it with the need to keep on identifying new cases of ebola and to keep on doing our best to stop people as a terrible threat to peoples lives as well as this terrible security so its a really balancing act you have say that youve scaled down operations but how does that really affect especially the surveillance and of people who have been in contact with a ball of patients this has been going on for a while so were moving as you mentioned stuff that can work in other areas and continue to do their work without being physically on site but. A lot of the work the bulk of the work is done by the workers with the ministry of health with the democratic republic of congo so while we as internationals and actually most of our staff our local people are here to support and advice the real work the solid work is being done by local people and youll be amazed by the Community Agents many of the women who are still going out every day and checking the health of the local people even under these circumstances thank you very much that was dr harris who is a spokesperson for w 2 and its also important to note at this point that this 2 areas that were attacked last night are really right now theyre at the center of this is where people are now getting infected mangina is ground 0 this is where the outbreak started a year and a half ago so you can imagine the difficulties there and saying that eve the situation continues then it could just affect their work. Catherine thank you for that update from goma.

Hello again to top stories on the aljazeera news hour iraqs army says its sending commandos to provinces to restore order violence escalates across cities at least 14 people have been killed in iraq after Security Forces opened fire to disperse a demonstration. Iran is calling for Decisive Action against protesters who attacked its consulate in the iraqi city of demonstrators blamed for propping up a government theyve been rallying. In yemen people are gathering at some airport in the hope of seeing the 1st passengers in the saudi erotic Coalition Says it will release some of the prisoners and allow limited flights in the rebel held capital. Top story of the anger in iraq against iran and its fallout so antigovernment protests in iraqs predominantly south have exposed resentment iranian influence and the grievances go back iran became a power broker off to the us invasion of iraq in 2003 it backed the political factions militias which have dominated iraq since iran also supported she has that mobilized in 2014 in the battle against isobel they gained influence became a powerful political faction in parliament and integrated into the military for many protesters blame the militias for violence against protesters and last year Security Forces have killed more than 150. 00 people in less than a week in protests in early october lets bring in the head of policy analysis of arab center for research and policy studies is joining us here in doha thanks for being with us on the aljazeera news hour and we come to the events of just under 24 hours ago where we saw iraqi protesters burned the consulates in what do you to read into that with this is not the 1st time in iraq youve got this sort of. Attacking iran the in consulates and iraq they did attack the iranian consulate in karbala last month and last year but this time its becoming even more evident that iraqis including shia. Viewing iran very much like an e. Q. Buying power in the sense that iran is directly feeding iraqs fears we have seen for example the Supreme Leader of the iranian of edition the supreme guide of they are going to pollution. Last month calling up on the iraq. Government to home front to the protests. Try to flush them possibly money also visited baghdad a few weeks ago he put huge pressure on the iraqi political factions in order to keep. In an office and you know that our government the is one of the demands of the protesters actually is to see all of this but its going to last in iraq most of them actually came from iran after the u. S. Invasion of iraq in 2003 and they maintain very close ties with the iranians they see them. As the mean the major problem for iraq because of the quote option and also because of this sort of iranian influence over this but its going to test our seem to see all the officials in iraq as the problem and that is that is what were hearing from the reporters porters on the ground but let me ask you this when iran says. It wants its calling rather for Decisive Action to be taken against the protesters who attacked that consulate what are irans options here do you see iran interfering in any way via the Iraqi Government or do you see them interfering if they will via their. People on the ground allies on the ground yeah both ways actually because they have they are supporting the militias on the ground who are suspected of actually firing at the protesters and killing hundreds of them since this round of protests started in iraq in and in october and also through the Iraqi Government because they have a huge influence over the but its got a clause which is ordering iraq actually talking not only about i did i miss some of the talking about most of the ministries are talking about. The heart of the. Ministry of interior we are talking about the entire system of iraq actually being influenced by directed by iran so iran actually is is actually practicing influence it through its militias on the ground and through its influence inside the Iraqi Government all right thank you for speaking to us from doha thank you. Violent confrontations in lebanon have been threatening what have largely been peaceful protests in recent days there were a tense stand off between sectarian and political rivals nearly 6 weeks since the start of the Movement Protestors are determined to restore a united voice against the ruling class and then i heard reports from beirut its. A message of peace at a time of political turmoil. Mothers joined hands after a violent incident between supporters of rival Political Parties brought back dark memories. I know of many was reelected on civil war began in 1975. They called for a national unity. The people fighting no other born after night in a day after the war was gone they dont know what is the but they stopped of the war they dont know if its blood will come blood will not give them food will not give them opportunities they work for the mainly christian neighborhood of i know of many towards what was the front line that divided the lebanese capital. They then crossed into the mainly shiite neighborhood of shia. It was a warm welcome from neighbors who seem to want to leave the past behind was. But it was a different picture a few nights ago there was a standoff between supporters of christian opposition parties and backers of shiite parties in power and hezbollah who have used force against abd establishment protesters across the country in recent days start. Doing what they do is just play on the sectarian. The sectarian emotions theyre trying to use the tools on the streets of intimidating. Peaceful protesters and this is being used basically to i think. For internal kind of balance and power. Struggle in between the establishment parties opposition parties have been accused of hijacking a Popular Uprising for almost 2 months there have been protests against the political elite who are refusing to give up power that was like the story of the cold war over civility that is why many are concerned the longer this political crisis lasts and the longer people remain in the streets the likelihood of more violence increases jennifer their data.
