Custom silly money firing 22. 00 missiles on iraqi bases his team u. S. And coalition forces. A ukrainian plane crashes moments after takeoff from irans capital tehran killing all 176 people on board. And im far as smile have all the days sports including the English Football Association is set to review its decision to allow betting cap anees to broadcast as they kept games online. The us president says iran appears to be standing down after it launched a series of missiles on american bases in iraq the attacks were in response to the u. S. Killing of iranian general sort of money donald trump flanked by his Vice President secretaries of state and defense as well as military leaders warned iran that u. S. Military missiles were quote big and powerful and accurate and lethal he said hed be imposing further economic sanctions on tehran iran appears to be standing down. Which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world no american or iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken the dispersal of forces and an Early Warning system that worked very well as we continue to evaluate options in response to a rein in aggression the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian Regime these powerful saying sions will remain until iran changes its behavior. And get more now from washington john hendren joins us it was quite a wide ranging speech what else did to tom have to say. Thats right the president walked right out and he said as long as im president of the United States iran will never be allowed to have Nuclear Weapons that is reportedly a line that he himself personally added to the speech shortly before delivering it and you heard the key points there he went on to say that he would initiate new sanctions that there were no deaths american or iraqi in any of those attacks but then he went on to Say Something kind of interesting for a president who has been heavily critical of nato and late natos role in. Some of these wars including iraq he said that the United States needs to do to require nato to offer more help he said he can ask nato to offer more assistance and he went on to say with the Iran Nuclear Deal that the United States has pulled out of that the other countries who are party to that deal the United KingdomRussia Germany and france they should all withdraw as well and together that those countries should form a new deal and one that would allow iran to prosper leaving kind of an uplifting note after a military confrontation with that country the president went on to say that. The United States sought not to have more military conflict it seemed as if it was really the end of this immediate confrontation but of course weve seen that before between these 2 countries and were seeing reports that the u. S. Knew that the if any attacks were coming were looking to us about that. Thats right there is a new report in the Washington Post its a lot of people have been commenting about the fact that no american or iraqis were killed in these giant sprawling bases and according to u. S. Military officials theres a very good reason for that according to this post report they say this was a calibrated event intended to cause minimal american casualties that is according to senior u. S. Officials in the u. S. And in the middle east and that suggests that those missiles were actually targeted to miss people at those 2 bases that they struck this report goes on to say by tuesday afternoon u. S. Officials said they knew that iran intended to strike u. S. Facilities in iraq although it wasnt immediately clear which ones they would pick one official says we knew when the iraqis told us that this was coming many hours in advance that gave people time to fortify their positions troops at those bases were ordered into bunkers they put on protective gear and they were told to shelter in place and thats what they did for many hours according to these u. S. Officials 1st. The u. S. Military says that they were told that iran was preparing to strike those targets and they havent disclose whether that is a human source or whether they heard that over cunt some kind of signal intelligence intercepted cell phone or Satellite Communications it went on to say that later on there was a technical means by which they confirmed that those iraqi missiles were coming in and that could be the anti Missile Systems which do detect incoming missiles there so they were able hours ahead of time to prepare for that and then they had apparently an immediate warning for that and according to those u. S. Military officials it is their belief that iran deliberately intended to miss people and strike for domestic consumption in iran at bases simply to do damage but not to kill anyone john 100 thank you very much indeed. Irans president says the real revenge for a sort of monies assassination would include seeing the u. S. Kicked out of the middle east. Yes money and seizing more all day cuz of the hand of a money edge used for his revered head and his body in videos and pictures the revenge for this is to force america out of this region the real revenge of the ultimate response by regional nations is we america is expelled from this region and its head of aggression is cast off. Big joins us live from the iranian capital tehran as irans leaders have been speaking we had just that just a bit more about the way this was what this was designed to achieve. Well people in the streets since this as a nation of course and for the money have been asking for revenge the politicians have been saying that they will avenge his death and even the Supreme Leader khamenei has said that they would avenge the death of the general cost them for the money so this this retaliation as far as iran is concerned was to a specific event and that is assassination of qassam so the money iran is concerned this is the end of the matter asked long as the United States doesnt retaliate it was an act of defiance by iran they dont missiles as 2 waves of missiles we believe u. S. Targets in iraq and it was to appease the Public Opinion here but also the timing of it was that cost and so the money was being laid to rest in kind of modern in the graveyard where he wanted to be buried next to those that died fighting in the iran iraq war and from what we heard from the revolutionary guard the 1st missiles that were launched were launched at the same time. And so the money was killed by the United States now the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Khamenei has also been speaking usually these speeches and live on this occasion they were thats because it was his 1st address after the Missile Launch and he said the military action. Not enough to deal with the United States he said that iran is well equipped to deal with the bullies of the world and he praised them for the money said that it was brave and wise and said that the United States attempted to tarnish isnt retaken by calling him a terrorist but he reiterated irans position that the United States should be forced to leave the region. And President Trump also announced what he described as further punishing economic sanctions how people like you to react to that. Well do not just states impose sanctions on iran since donald trump pulled the United States out of the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 so the Banking Sector has sanctions the oil sector the office of the Supreme Leader and even the foreign minister devolves reefers had sanctions imposed against him many rangers saying what else is left to sanction the economy is already struggling but iran is defiant people on the streets were expecting this after the missile strike and just tonight the office of the Supreme Leader has released a post with Donald Trumps face on it and missiles in the shape of a hand and with the caption its just this is just a slap so iran still very defiant and the head of the military here said that if the United States retaliate thats that will be turned into a punch so its still some tough talk coming out of iran but thats mainly just to appease the public here because people on the streets have been asking for revenge i said make thank you very much indeed. To you know loud blasts have been heard in baghdad on wednesday night the blasts were followed by sirens because it is not yet clear and when we bring you more on that developing story as we get it to reports of. Baghdad. Trump Administration Officials have been Briefing Congress on the u. S. Strike against sort of money lets get more now from washington. Joins us live from capitol hill so what has congress been hearing and what are they saying. Or in the members of congress in both chambers were briefed just a short while ago by the top pentagon and defense and state and cia officials in the u. S. Who were there to answer the question of whether or not those drone strike that killed because onselen mani was warranted in further trouble ministrations saying that they acted on evidence of an imminent attack being planned by the iranian general well that what the members of Congress Heard as as an explanation for that depended very much on which party each member was from listen for yourself. I think theyve done an excellent job of outlining the rationale behind both the decision to go after so money and the response to the iranian attack yesterday ill tell you this i am convinced that had Decisive Action not been taken we could very well be standing here today talking about the death of dozens if not hundreds of americans at the hands of shia militias working as proxies for your it was your youth. If this is a justification for having more hostilities are essentially reopening the iraq war again and i think a lot of us feel very uncomfortable with that so there are lots of unanswered questions. Here and some of that i cannot discuss with you but i am not sure that trust me is that this is a satisfactory answer for me. So of course youre hearing there are democrats who say they were unsatisfied with the intelligence briefing and republicans say that it absolutely was the right move for the u. S. To kill general sulaimani a similarly partisan reaction to President Trumps speech earlier in the day in response to the Iranian Missile strikes on the u. S. On the other bases in iraq housing u. S. Troops we heard democrats criticizing the president saying he was trying to deescalate a crisis of his own making while republicans applauded him saying that the speech was a home run so where does that leave congress now well starting tomorrow members of the house of representatives are are scheduled to discuss a war powers resolution introduced by democrats which would seek to limit how long trump can continue with any u. S. Military hostilities regarding iran to just 30 days unless Congress Gives its authorization that expected to be debated tomorrow on the house floor i did your question thank you very much. Satellite images have been released showing the extent of damage caused to one of the u. S. Bases when Iranian Missiles struck in the early hours of wednesday morning several facilities on the base including aircraft i use the picture sustained significant damage in the attacks u. S. President on all jumps of the strikes have not harmed any u. S. Troops stationed there but my physician has more now on the strikes. This is irans promised response to the u. S. Assassination of top iranian general Hossam SoleimaniBallistic Missiles soaring into the night sky there target an Iraqi Military base housing thousands of u. S. Soldiers iranians are taking the crowd there to hit back directly they wouldnt even leave their proxies to deliver the message that their american. Kind of saving faith order for them because killing soleimani is its an insult from the americans to iranian establishment to iranian a state all and therefore i think youre ronnie and has to retaliate the question is whether that military will be used to retaliate against these attacks u. S. Troops are based at the arlene assad a base in iraq one of 2 talking its hit by missiles ever since president trying to scuttle the. There has been to. Get an escalation and that you know neither side can afford to give in because the look weak the leaders of both sides have committed to this escalation and its hard to see how out you know where they are i dont want. The u. S. Says its killing of cars some sort of money in an air strike was in response to an attack in iraq in which the u. S. Contract with diet and for which the u. S. Blames iran. In iran huge crowds have been in mourning. And demanding revenge for sort of these death an immediate diplomatic solution to the crisis seems unlikely. Both sides have to be rowing through gauge and diplomacy and right now i fear that i do not see that i do not see either side the iranian or the american willing to do the things necessary to engage in diplomacy. Iran wants u. S. Forces to permanently leave the gulf region and it says there will be a harsh response to any further u. S. Retaliation rob matheson aljazeera. E. U.

But fortunately it didnt question the reason into area but the wreckage has around the gardens of villas within a large radius nobody has survived across bill airport in kiev the arrivals board bears the grim news. This mother and father had been waiting for their son to arrive missing so someone probably knew my son is a senior Flight Attendant my daughter called at 615 this morning to say that in the us they were reporting that a plane had crashed a ukrainian International Airlines plane. A makeshift memorial now stands in the lobby of the airport at least 11 ukrainians died in the crash most of them crew members. Sweden also lost several nationals on the flight its joint ukraine and canada in calling for a full investigation ukraines now canceled all flights over iran the countrys embassy in tehran initially blamed engine failure for the crash later removed the statement was useful widely approaching we made the decision to suspend all the activities of all ukrainian of the Asian Companies in iranian air space until the causes of this tragedy become clear. The crash comes amid heightened tensions across the region following a u. S. Drone strike that killed top iranian general has seller money in a sign of worsening ties irans Civil Aviation authority says it will not give the black box flight recorder to u. S. Plane make a boeing for analysis its not clear which country iran will send the box to. The safety audit and it had no accidents whatsoever so there they really do this is a very very good airlines but i do believe it will be mechanical or possibly it may possibly be a terrorist act its too hard to tell at this stage. The crash is a major setback for boeing but struggled to regain trust after the grounding of its 737 max aircraft following 2 fatal and crashes within 5 months the boeing 737 is one of the most popular aircraft in the sky with a good Safety Record investigators without a turban how and why so many lives ended here leave barca aljazeera.

With its 1st flight in july 997 the last 737800 was delivered in december almost 5000. 00 were delivered around the world the model supposed to replace it the 737 max has been grounded since early last year after 2 crashes. Ok toughman is an aviation writer for air transport world he says an independent investigation is vital to determine the true cause of the disaster. We have 2 northern aircraft vision burning in egypt actually can fly by not can eliminate the fire we dont know the fire if there was an explosion in the engine which of course great so really a difficult situation for an aircraft theres something about the Centers Design its an air of others Ukraine International done seized changed with the max from that grounding because the act of urgently and so went down many questions remain and it is important to know what investigations well find out especially we see this in a very sensitive area around here around and the moment iran and the us situation every aircraft lets say to 2 agency can find ways one aircraft and islands can eliminate a fire we dont know which kind of cultic situation maybe was in that aircraft this creates a lot of question marks i also find it not very well a place that make an announcement very early in the morning already it is more than tactical error i think for us we need more informations because we can announce things like that so many questions remain others so i think it will be important and necessary to find a kind of object if neutral Investigation Team to this situation a car bomb that killed at least 4 people in somalias capital mogadishu it exploded at the 1st security checkpoint leading into the area housing the Parliament President ial palace and interior ministry and over 6 people were injured the Armed Group Alshabaab famous for its ability for the attack last week it carried out another bombing in the capital killing 90 people.

Top stories. President all trump says iran appears to be standing down but still promise to impose further punitive economic sanctions on tehran several hours after iran northeast doesnt missiles at u. S. Bases in iraq in retaliation for the killing of leading military figure. Loud blasts we heard in baghdad on wednesday night 3 katyusha rockets. Inside baghdads heavily fortified green zone which houses government buildings and Foreign Missions causing a fire but no casualties thats according to iraqi police sources. And in iran a ukrainian passenger plane has crashed moments after takeoff all want to 6 people on board were killed the crash isnt being linked to tensions in the region. Trying to our top story now donald trump signaling a deescalation after iran launched a series of missiles on american bases in iraq and announcing more punitive sanctions economic sanctions against tehran all white house could has more with the u. S. And iran edging dangerously close to war President Donald Trump proclaimed 2 that tehran appears to be standing down truck gave no indication that the United States intends to strike back hours after riding in missile attacks on 2 bases used by the u. S. Military in iraq we suffered. All of our soldiers are safe. And orderly minimal damage was sustained at our military bases it was a stark contrast to the president s threats of retaliation without hesitation that have dominated his twitter feed in recent days instead flanked by top advisers and generals troubling aid a surprising suggestion that members of nato to become much more involved in the middle east process it was an astonishing claim from a president who once called nato obsolete he also encouraged u. S. Partners and allies to abandon the j c p a way an agreement put in place in 2050 and by world powers to limit Irans Nuclear program we must all Work Together toward making a deal with the rain that makes the world a safer and more Peaceful Place however trouble didnt ounce new sanctions would be coming without giving specifics he also left open the possibility of diplomacy speaking directly to irans leaders he insisted the United States desires for iran a great future one that you deserve one of prosperity at home in harmony with the nations of the world the United States is ready to embrace peace. With all who seek it but missing from the president s speech evidence that the u. S. Killing of iranian general qassam solomonic was justified and necessary to prevent an imminent attack on americans its evidence opposition democrats are demanding from the trumpet ministration so for theres been a profound lack of information provided to congress from the department of defense concerning what the department is doing in response to iran also absent a Clear Strategy something the administration has promised to provide in closed door briefings on wednesday to members of congress including Top Republicans who support the president s tactics but if President Trump chooses to respond by sending even more soldiers to the middle east he breaks a Major Campaign promise to pull the United States out of what he once called its for ever wars can really help get al jazeera the white house. When their son joined by iran analysts to our own merit thank you very much for coming to talk to us so do you view the situation now is that both sides are trying to deescalate this im not sure about both sides the american provocation of assassinating the 2nd most powerful man in iran was definitely not an attempt to deescalate the situation and pretty predating that there had been attacks in which several Iraqi Militia men had been killed from the popular model as units as well iran has responded with short range Ballistic Missiles against 2 bases in iraq not target american troops but to send a message by announce for 30 minutes in advance of the attack of iraqis that they were going to hit and these bases where the americans are in bill and in Anbar Province bunkers so the iranians wanted to send a message that they could kill americans if they were pushed if i see no need to in creating bloodshed which would create cycles of counter escalation they are on a political and legal project to read syria and iraq of american troops but on that on that project to mean the response is always described as you know iran might be one thing but then its proxies all its its partners in the region in lebanon or syria or iraq might act in another way will not be used to act in the way will what do you expect any further response from those kind of groups well it is true that iran doesnt control the sovereign nations of syria or iraq however the militias who you speak of who by be committing such attacks for example qatar the hezbollah. Popular mobilization units which are aligned to iran or maybe the satirists in the south they are all seen from the same hymn sheet at the moment because they are all pursuing the same objective of as the president of iran said cutting the legs from under the americans in exchange for. The iranians speak very particularly cutting the hands off sort of money so what if a watch of trumps kind of suggestion that there might be some sort of negotiation possible is that realistic to think so if the politics wasnt in the way i think it might be dare i say a fairly easy deal because trump lacks the ideological baggage of a lot of his predecessors hostage crisis the. The the revolution trumps a businessman from queens and he doesnt he lacks that baggage trump wants a new do a better deal its all about size the trumpet he wants something which can outdo obamas j c p o i iran will perhaps in my view try to weigh. Some nucular and ballistic capability if america allows iran and iraq and syria but on that on that point i mean is that some in the past thats something they wont give up is it that influence that they have in those regional countries because thats presumably how they operate without having to have an. Aside from big military installations theyve got a powerful kind of reach havent they the americans know the iranian the iranians through their proxies and so presumably that isnt something they would want to hand over in a negotiation is it well the facts on the ground however since 2003 iran has had to intervene to stop the civil war in iraq from expanding an isis from expanding into the capitals from beirut all the way to baghdad so iran is already on the ground however the global superpower of the world is the United States and iran would like it legitimized through a security deal with the us and just about your point about iran wanting to get the americans out how far down that road are we now i mean its do you think this this latest situation has made it quite difficult for u. S. And other troops to operate in the region while theyre already out of the share areas. Theyre in anbar and in kurdistan the sunni and kurdish regions respectively and thats why i chose to strike them in those regions because its not just you need to be out of a share is its you need to be out of iran proper and this is also supported by the iraqi state which invited iran in the 1st place in order to fight isis so i think that the americans are also on their way out before from assassinated sudha money he was on his way out hes on his way out of reach of or in syria he calls them s. Whole countries and he doesnt want to expend blood and treasure on the middle east so i can imagine there could be a face saving accommodation whereby sides get what they want our merit thank you very much david good to talk to you thank you thank you the russian president Vladimir Putin is in turkey where hes met pretty much a type one but he does have called for a cease fire in libya to be implemented by sunday in osment came shortly after the turkish and russian president met to no great a pipeline in istanbul from west to fasten the port. The leaders of turkey and russia use the opening of a major gas pipeline to highlight improve through elations between the 2 countries but destroyed turks stream project that offers an alternative route for russian gas to be delivered to europe via turkey was overshadowed by events elsewhere the s. S. A nation of an Iranian Military commander by the u. S. And a missile attack on u. S. Bases by iran both strikes taking place in iraq have raised tensions in the region. You know geography no one is the strength to pay the further price no 1. 00 is the right to put the whole region especially iraq into a new circle of fire for the sake of their own interests turkey will do all possible not the region to be drawn in blood and tears flooding may put and sat by overcoming their differences turkey and russia are given a good example. Solution we are living in a very difficult time in our region we are facing it its rating situation that can fuel tensions but russia and turkey are showing a very different example. But their body language at a meeting earlier in the day made it clear not all is good between the 2 leaders. Behind the smiles and handshakes there are some big differences between the 2 me that young rush on opposing sides of the war in syria and not turkey sending troops to tripoli is a risk and both nations confronting face to face. Turkey has accused russian mercenaries of fighting alongside general holly for hafta who has launched an offensive on the libyan capital tripoli after a meeting in istanbul put an end to one urged all parties involved in the war in libya to commit to a cease fire starting on january the 12th so a Peace Process can take place but for the syrian city of it lip there was no such call hundreds of thousands of syrians have been displaced in the past 2 weeks alone after russian and syrian troops increase their operations in the last rebel held province while the turkish president has raised concerns about the influx of refugees he did not get a commitment from putin to stop the fighting there stop fasten aljazeera istanbul so was the to extreme pipeline so significant while the turkish russian venture starts in the southern russian town of anapa and runs more than 900 kilometers deep under the black sea to the turkish town of kicky york. 2 pipes can transport 31. 00 and a half 1000000000 cubic meters of natural gas one pipe will deliver half that gas on to Southern Europe so saying up to 3 percent of the e. U. s needs russia curry surprise about 40 percent of europes gas route is important because it helps russia bypass the current route ukraine which now faces losing billions in gas transit fees the countries have been in conflict since 2014 sin and cos fear is in istanbul she says a pipeline is one of many areas of cooperation between turkey and russia. The spite of violates roll prices back in 2015 after turkey shut down the russian fighter jet by its southern border and this project was full tilt and back in 20172 leaders decided to build this project again and this is the 2nd direct pipeline carrying gas from russia to turkey and it is seen as a seal of m great couple turkey and russia relations and the 2 is the name to extreme actually was given by the russian president Vladimir Putin if both leaders are gone and put in see this project the spy line as a connection between the 2 countries not only for providing a secure Energy Natural gas from a rush out to europe but also as a secure line of political relations Turkey Russia relations are not only based on Energy Supplies or economic relations as you know 2 countries have been allied in the region when it comes to syria when it comes to iraq they are actually keeping the different forms in libya and turkey supports the u. N. Recognize the government jna it russia supports the house certainly for help start in libya but it seems to leaders discussed libya the tension in iraq is the humanitarian condition it and truck and russia are also expected to provide maybe ation for libya as well.
