Air strikes that killed Major General custom so they money a huge funeral procession was held for the top iranian commander as well as for a vox the ad hom this the deputy leader of the iran backed Popular Mobilization forces iraqs kid take a Prime Minister of the now the so attended and anti u. S. Rallies have continued across neighboring iran with. Their moneys assassination and as uncertainty goes over how iran will respond nato has suspended a Training Session in iraq citing some safety concerns. We have correspondents covering the story from the middle east and the u. S. Patty carl haynes standing by for us at the pentagon but 1st lets go to asama been job that hes in the iraqi capital baghdad and its not just crowds in iran who are condemning the United States for the killings of sama a lot of anger where you are in baghdad. Yes elizabeth weve been hearing from crowds chanting slogans of death to america death to israel saying that the blood of course until the money and emblematic and wonders will not be spilt in vain chanting slogans of revenge but choying a lot of restraint weve been hearing from them and their leaders in the lead up to this procession in the last 24 hours saying that they will take revenge from the u. S. Forces saying that this killing at Baghdad Airport of these 2 leaders by u. S. Drone has put not just iraq but the whole reason region at risk so what weve been seeing with the process started this morning the procession with the iraqi Prime Minister with more leaders of the iraqi. Paramilitary groups as well as many members of Parliament Many saying that this is america has essentially signed a warrant for its end in iraq there is. No recession that is going to take place on sunday parliamentarians are under pressure to legislate to expel u. S. Forces from here so a lot of anger a lot of support they have been moments of grief as well this fight is came out not just themselves but with their families as well and one of the most prominent groups that we saw in that procession was his will or hezbollah brigades you have to remember that behind this was the leader of hezbollah the group of which the United States target on the iraq syria border in reaction to which we saw the u. S. Embassy being attacked and the lead up to the events that we are in now so theres a lot of uncertainty there is a lot of anger and a tense calm that prevails here in baghdad and some of what sort of security measures are in place there given the calls for revenge. What weve seen since lately. A lot of war valid case being placed trucks blocking streets the barricades being please. Blast proof bunkers being built on the other side of the tigris river 4 out of the 9 bridges across the tigris river remain blocked there was concern that these protests these mourners rather would could possibly go towards the green zone it has been fortified with more Counterterrorism Forces Iraqi Military and iraqi police but so far it has remained very peaceful as these measures have been in place and the Iraqi Government as well as various militia leaders have said there are protesters are still mourners to assure utmost restraint and that is what weve seen so far in the last 2 i was weve also heard from the iraqi president whos received phone calls from the turkish and the french president s both World Leaders showing their support for iraqs sovereignty saying that iraq should not become a battleground for Foreign Forces to settle their scores and that is something that iraq wants as well it is going to be a tough few days for iraqs government as it has to grapple with not only the fact that it has to answer to iran it has to answer to the United States it has to show that it is treading a path in the middle of these 2 giants but also has to answer to its people where there is mounting pressure that it should expel u. S. Forces from and some of thank you for that for now that is our correspondent on the job with all the latest live from the iraqi capital lets go now to patty khan hain shes joining us live from the pentagon and were hearing patty that thousands of u. S. Troops being sent to the region. Another 3000. 00 troops this is on top of the 6. 00 to 700. 00 that were already said we believe that theyre going to be going to kuwait this is out of North Carolina the 82nd airborne this is the Immediate Response force so these are soldiers that are specifically trained to be able to deploy quickly to any sort of hot spot so its the u. S. Sending a message this is sort of the become the pattern between the u. S. And a red when the u. S. Thought that the iranians had put missiles on oil tankers they said ships to the region now the big question is how is iran going to react are they going to target u. S. Facilities in the middle east so what the pentagon is saying here is that these forces will be basically on standby for at least 60 days that could be extended theyll sit in the region ready to deploy if theyre needed anywhere in the immediate area and patty also lots of questions about whether the trumpet ministration had the Legal Authority to carry out the strike of such magnitude. Thats exactly going to be it could be the question on capitol hill in the coming week and theres 2 different sort of aspects to this under International Law how can the u. S. Actually justify going into a 3rd country killing assassinating a Senior Member of a Foreign Government that theyre not at war with so what is the legal justification well we have some hints from secretary of state mike pompei oh he keeps saying that they knew of an imminent threat that dozens perhaps hundreds of americans in the region could have been harmed so he is using the selfdefense justification but the question is is there intelligence to back that up weve had a few members of the house whove had briefings on this intelligence and it split our own party lines like most things in Washington Republicans say yes the intelligence is there democrats are saying theres not enough there there to justify this kind of act the other thing is within the United States did he have the justification the legal justification to launch this assassination this strike excuse me did he have the ability to launch the strike well for that to have been the case he needs to have had congressional approval so what the pentagon what the white house is saying is when they justify going after the people on 911 that gave the President Authority to do this strike on iran but of course then youre asking yourself what is a brand have to do with 911 that could explain a somewhat bizarre tweet we saw from the Vice President mike pence he put out that sort of money actually helped to transport 10 of the 12 hijackers of the 11 to afghanistan a couple of problems with that there were 19 hijackers not 12 every investigation is said or did not have an active role in 911 so what you see is the white house and the state department really trying to put pieces in place to justify what they did perhaps after they did it. Indeed patty thank you for that and now that is for the nation live from the pentagon. Now to iran we across the country they have been emotional scenes as people bid farewell to a man held in high esteem not just by its leaders but also by much of the population. A friend for more than 30 years and one of his biggest supporters Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei based his respects to the family of Major General hossam cell in money and the commander in chief of irans armed forces offered some words of comfort to sell him on his widow youve got to do it is rewarding he faced death a 100 times korean got his duties but he was killed i hope god gives him a higher place in the other war he was eager to martyrdom the Supreme Leader told the generals daughter how the entire nation appreciated all her father did for his country. A sentiment echoed by president Hassan Rouhani who also had a strong message for the United States. d this great men deserve not to be killed by any ordinary person or terrorist but to be killed by historys biggest terrorist when this general died the whole u. S. Army is put on alert and the entire region the country is now officially in mourning on the streets of the capital on saturday iran prepares to say goodbye to one of its most important figures. Major general the money that imagines now unfold this way across their own people here credit the safety and security that they enjoy to him. Who have managed to keep away groups such as i saw. No one. People here are demanding. I had a line of ive only seen him on t. V. But i feel like ive lost my father the Iranian Revolutionary guard corps and the army have to take their revenge our hearts are hurting i express our condolences to his family. Like the supremes leaders said the era of hit and run is done theyll get a crushing response is the blood of martyrs that have kept this country going i cant believe hes gone so i cannot man. Major general saleh money was the head of the elite schools force of irans revolutionary guards which runs irans military and Clandestine Operations abroad the United States said it was responsible for the campaigns in iraq lebanon syria germany kenya the rain and turkey essential in money rarely appeared in public but videos of his military activities added to his status arabs joined a photo and other patrolling him as a man who was not afraid of anything so the money survived many attacks on his life but he would be in iraq where armed groups trained by his cults force killed hundreds of americans that the United States and that his reign at the age of 62 door such a pari aljazeera to iran. And a red flag has been raised over the junker and mosque in irans holy city of qom its a traditional shia symbol of blood spilled unjustly and a call to avenge the person who was killed multiple Iranian Military leaders are promising to retaliate for killing a top revolutionary guard general has threatened attacks on ships in the gulf and to punish americans wherever they are in reach and the latest International Reaction to solomons assassination has come from chinas foreign minister in a phone call with the Iranian Foreign minister of the United States should stop the abuse and the use of force he also accuse the u. S. Military of violating basic norms of International Relations and worsening tensions in the gulf region well lets get more on this now were joined by richard weights hes a defense analyst joining us live from washington d. C. Mr waits always good to have you with us on aljazeera do you agree with the Chinese Foreign minister that the u. S. Has violated the basic norms of International Relations and worsened tensions in the gulf. Norms no this is this kind is practice preventive strikes against impending military attacks is fairly common i dont know about the International Legal issues but at least in terms of actual behavior this is common i would say the tensions will probably rise initially were seeing that now that will persist for a while but long term this could actually reduce tensions if the u. S. Strategy is laid out by president succeeds which is to deter iran for making further attacks and reassure allies about u. S. Deterrence capabilities and so on so as usual President Trump is comptroller taking these kind of high risk yes citizens for high potential high payoff later on yeah i mean its reported that after the attacks on the u. S. Embassy when after the killing of u. S. Personnel and the attacks on the u. S. Embassy that the president was given a range of options and the most severe was killing general saw name on on what you said about preventative strikes do we know of the intelligence yet that proves that this was a preventative strike. We do not we have the secretary of state state that its always a challenge in these situations the u. S. Needs to you know wants to persuade other countries about that why it took a decision and force protection but if you reveal too much information that means that the future attackers are going to take advantage of that and perhaps at some point weaknesses in your defenses better and we already have you know the washington posts iraq correspondent quoting. Unnamed u. S. Officials saying that the intelligence that they know all of that. Iran was going to carry out attacks led by general so name on was was razor thin. We do expect iran to retaliate though so how do you think that they will do that. Well i think that as in the package indicated the tax they have a range of options but most likely theyll continue to pursue these kind of. Lol level of tax on call ship being on Saudi Oil Refineries shooting down an unmanned drones and so on since they. Tried to stay below the level of triggering a major us response and i think that one possible benefit of the recent u. S. Action is is that the reminded the rain into a prop for becoming a bit overly. Cautious over overly dismissive of the u. S. Willingness to respond that the us does have Response Options and will use them so if anything that may reduce the likelihood of iran continuing to escalate its actions in the thinking that the u. S. Will not respond but given that you know iran Senior Iranian leaders have said that they will take revenge for this is it a what do you make of the u. S. You know deploying 3000 troops to the region at this time well thats probably a prudent decision i mean i think the iranians will take a some response and by putting more forces in the region that means it will probably make it less likely again that theyre going to resort to actual military strikes against u. S. Forces since they could easily lose another battle whether these forces what help you would be able to deter for example interference with call ship being or terrorist attacks on u. S. Or friendly targets in the region less clear thats often a function more for the Intelligence Community local forces and so on that it is for the u. S. Military mr way its interesting to get your perspective on this thank you for your time for now thats richard waits live in washington d. C. Thank you. There are plenty more ahead on the news hour including a new him mystery well examine how foreman s. N. C. F. Kahlil school unfed japan and what it means for his campus.

Turkey is determined to support the u. N. Backed government defending the libyan capital Turkeys Parliament approved the deployment of troops to libya last week after the g. N. A. T. Asked for military support but there are still no confirmed details on timing troop numbers or what role theyll take this has the ability to alter the dynamics completely in libya and restore some largest position of strength at the negotiating table and given that the u. A. E. And egypt are not keen on an all out war with turkey in libya have to believe that his chances are running out and this is why we see these increasingly hostile statements towards techie. In a statement the un secretary general antonio terras said he wants an immediate cease fire and a return to political dialogue by all parties but even the un backed government seems to have lost faith in the uns efforts on the ground one senior g. N. A. T. Leader told libyan t. V. His government no longer relies on the u. N. Mission in tripoli. And that then why has that the scene of the as striken says residents along at about 30 or attacks.

Now china has replaced its top representative in hong kong as the social unrest in the city enters its 7th month state media say the head of Beijings Liaison Office wang shimon has been removed its the 1st major reshuffle since the protests began falling slowly has more on why Beijings Liaison Office is important. Its supposed to promote communication between china and hong kong so its effectively a bridge between Mainland China and hong kong and it promotes and coordinates probation candidates now it has sometimes been accused of overstepping its jurisdiction just as an example in the 2004 Legislative Council elections the believes on office was accused of mobilizing members of the Interest Groups and Housing Associations to support the pro establishments party and since 2010 the Liaison Office has often been a target for prodemocracy protesters now as to what sort of Practical Impact it will have on hong kong politically it might be a little bit truth soon to tell we dont really know yet whether the signals that china is going to adopt a more hardline stance when it comes to its treatment of the Anti Government protests in hong kong but whats interesting to note is the timing now the this reshuffle because major reshuffle since the protests began 7 months ago comes 6 weeks after a probe candidate suffered a humiliating defeat at local district Council Elections so while it may be a little bit too foon to tell whether this signals how china is going to be handling the protests in hong kong we know about the interest the timing of this its interesting.

When openly advocated a cross of cooperation between the Central Asian office and the Hong Kong Government and he were was responsible for running the Party Machinery in hong kong as well as the night of front in hong kong and therefore he had to assume responsibility for the severe defeat of the probating united front in their District Council you know actions in november last year there is no doubt that these officials who have been responsible for Hong Kong Affairs after being. Sought to be wrongly interpretating the hong kong situation to the chinese leadership and probably looking in the wrong policy recommendations and their removal certainly we. Will reduce their anger. Is the destruction of our of the people wont come but we dont know whether this mean a softening of the jinns approach to hong kong and the good very good indication they the weather the carry lemme ministration this will set up an independent commission of inquiry and he has refused to do so up to today the hong kongs Health Authorities on high alert due to an outbreak of a new type of violent ammonia in china 8 suspected cases have been reported in the city which has now activated at serious response level chief executive kerry lam visited a Railway Station to Extraordinary Health checks for incoming passengers 44. 00 cases have been detected in Mainland China so far the outbreak has revived memories of the sods epidemic which cold 700 people across china in 2003.
