Troops to retake control of the kurdish region will a vote for freedom leading to a future of war also coming up saudi arabia says it will lift its ban on women drivers but is there more behind the wheel here could have more reform in this new tory asli conservative kingdom be just around the corner and the rise of the robots automation threatens every half of all job say experts but could it also change our lives for the better. Off its good to have you with us tonight iraq is faced with the question of keeping the country together it comes after kurds in the north of the country voted overwhelmingly in favor of independence a kurdish authorities. Over ninety two percent of kurds backed independence in that referendum that was held on monday but iraqs Central Government in baghdad refuses to respect the result it has threatened sanctions against the kurds and that could put them on a collision course with a newly confident nation in wait. There were euphoric scenes among iraqs kurds after the official result was announced could issue Authorities Say that with a seventy three percent voter turnout the poll had been are resoundingly success. At this historic moment i want to congratulate you on the success of the referendum on the independence of kurdistan in our autonomous region and the areas outside the autonomous region which could just on claims. In baghdad the reaction couldnt be more different iraqs government opposes the kurdish push for statehood and has demanded an immediate an element of the vote. Iraqs government has already taken retaliatory steps threatening to halt flights in and out of the kurdish autonomous region its also demanded that those behind the vote including kurdish leader Massoud Barzani face legal consequences iraqs Prime Minister said he wanted to keep his country united without resorting to the use of force but parliament has given him a mandate to deploy the military to the kurdish territories including the Oil Rich Region around the city of kirkuk. We will impose federal authority on the whole of iraq with the force of the constitution and the force of the law this is not a threat some people have made threats and some have used force to impose their will in the disputed areas we will use all the tools provided by the constitution and the law. The measures passed by parliament also called for the closure of Foreign Diplomatic Missions in the autonomous kurdish region. Neighboring countries turkey and iran are worried that the referendum will embolden their own kurdish minorities and are applying pressure with sanctions of their own. And for more now im joined by journalist campbell mc diarmaid he joins us from your bill and iraqs autonomous kurdistan region campbell its good to have you on the show we know that baghdad has proposed a range of sanctions if the result of this vote is not an old immediately are people in the kurdistan region are they concerned of what will happen next. Well i think were seeing a bit of brinkmanship at the moment baghdad obviously had to respond and respond strongly theyve got constituents of their own that they need to appease so what weve seen those measures and talk about sending military troops to to retake Federal Territory i dont think anyones in a hurry for this to devolve into out right conflict but certainly people here are concerned about what the future holds its a very uncertain time at the moment and no one here is quite sure what the next few weeks will bring and it begs the question why did iraqi kurds decide to go ahead with this vote to me theres not one country in the world that has come out for their independence except for the country of israel yeah i think that was a bit of a surprise to the kurds they thought that you know after their pitch. For isis on behalf of the world is how they see it that they would get a little more support for this they realized it was never going to be a time would be perfect to make this announcement and what i think they gambled on was as they proceeded with this more people would come around to it and. By the time they realized that no one supported them theyd already gone too far to back down you know would have been difficult for them to go back to their own voters and say weve decided to postpone this referendum and what about the neighbors iran and turkey theyre not happy about this referendum grows even threatening a blockade and how hard could this hit kurdistan. Yeah i mean that theyve both got big kurdish populations of their own who will be watching closely but the kurdistan region of iraq is a landlocked region and between the federal iraq and turkey and iran most of the trade goes through turkey a lot of the products in the stores here are from iran and turkey and of course the oil goes through turkey and ankara has been threatening to cut off that supply so that is a real risk but at the same time you know its the second largest trading partner here so you know thats going to cost them as well if they decide to blockade the region oh ok journalist Campbell Nick diamants joining us tonight from iraqs autonomous kurdistan region with the latest and the fallout from that independence referendum vote campbell thank you very much thank you the European Commission has put forward new plans to address europes migration crisis now it wants to resettle fifty thousand more refugees and wants to better in force the deportation of migrants to asylum applications or not approved of the issue of immigration has divided the you ever since the mass influx of refugees in two thousand and fifteen scenes like this have become familiar in the past two years and the e.
