I dont welcome im a bit touchy ma good to have your company. U. S. President donald trump is valid to impose severe sanctions on iraq if it expands u. S. Troops deployed in the country thats as tensions increase over the targeted killing of irans top general by a u. S. Drone strike in baghdad on friday in tehran irans leaders of health Funeral Services for general custom silly money and others killed in the strike. Weeping over the remains of irans top military commander. The Supreme Leader ayatollah ali how money visibly moved as he leads funeral prayers for his former close ally. Hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered to pay their respects to general kasem salim money killed in a u. S. Drone strike in iraq on friday. While balika. His assassination is considered a declaration of war by many iranians. Speaking at her fathers funeral the generals own daughter has promised reprisals why there are the higher the already quite that ive asked families of american soldiers in western asia have witnessed americas humiliation and syria iraq lebanon afghanistan yemen and palestine they will spend their days waiting for the death of their children and the in the parliament there also being cries of death to america. Or move rational subjection of the u. S. President is considered a military of terrorism. The only thing you want to know the disadvantage of painful consequences for you. And the anger is spreading across borders in lebanon the iran backed hezbollah militia has threatened to hit American Forces in the region meanwhile the. Iraqi parliament has voted to end the u. S. Military presence in the country some 5000 u. S. Troops of that officially to help defeat socalled islamic state. U. S. President donald trump has already warned baghdad that it could be hit by tough sanctions if it follows through with this threat but its irans promise of revenge thats focusing minds to iran has already announced it will no longer abide by the 2050 nuclear deal raising the stakes even further. Im joined now by a middle east analyst whos with a think tank center for applied research in partnership with the orient welcome to you know we saw a lot of anger in iran over the killing of agenda so the money when avon talks about revenge what does that mean. We have to think it in 2 ways there will be a short term. Way of revenge which is more or less like a blood revenge or a vendetta which brings american lives in the reach of iran in the middle east which puts those lives in danger and then there will be a mid and long term revenge. Actually focusing on ousting the u. S. In the region of the middle east and that is a strategy that some silly money had embodied ok talking about ousting the us from the middle east also in manis assassination in iraq has also led to a spike of tensions between the u. S. And baghdad what are the implications of that. I mean its not difficult to understand how carrying out such an operation on the sovereign and hit and harming the sovereignty of a country like iraq will lead to these reactions its a parliamentary decision its not legally binding yet but it sets lose a sort of sort of dynamics that are putting again american troops in danger in iraq and can ultimately lead to the ousting of the us troops from iraq led by iraq and not by iran and how important is the presence of u. S. Troops in iraq well thats a completely different subject matter that needs to be discussed in fact the u. S. Has been working together with iraq and to some extent with the iranians to to fight terrorist groups to fight the likes of isis to fight al qaeda and other groups and for that matter equipping iraqi. Equipping the iraqi Army Training them that has been the role of the u. S. But at the same time it has also been accused of certain abuse as it has been targets of attacks by different militias that are operating in iraq so there is a real mixed picture of what u. S. Presence in iraq really means. By a middle east analyst from region think tank heading out to australia where the government is cash the equivalent of over a 1000000000 euros to help communities ravaged by devastating bushfires but Prime Minister scott larson warned the files would continue bunning for months to come at least 24. 00 people have died and thousands have lost their homes.

I was on his way list parliament on sunday amid extraordinary scenes will make luis posada is sworn in as new parliamentary president i wonder why those shall we why dont you as we all did that he needed to be here no one stopped me from coming in. He didnt have enough votes thats why he decided to stay outside the parliamentary palace. He was. Quite oh and his supporters could clearly not get in the man who calls himself into him president even tried to climb the railings members of the National Guard stopped them entering the building. Because he killed the constitution has to be respected today every member of Parliament Must have the right to vote but were going to stay here until we get inside. He and his supporters outside were completely cut off from what was happening inside that they were sure any vote without them would not be valid and youll know it was no way the necessary number of people were in there and they would have never had a majority but a lot of people who parliamentarians were held back by force that prevented the seating even being properly opened. The position of parliamentary president is significant a year ago quite declared himself interim president of the country he cited doubts over the reelection of president Nicolas Maduro the constitution says where there was a power vacuum the parliamentary president should take over quite those declared mission to end madieu israel and hold new elections but hes failed to get the militarys backing leaving the country with 2 supposed president s and in chaos.

Well. I dont agree with the. Especially if its going to destroy the sources of income. Like across coconut trees. Build a dam at the expense of all families livelihood. It may well serve others. But whats about to us by a lot of the most probably the dam is meant to secure water supply in manila the capital 40 kilometers away. The other side greater than measured by the what is the.

Here in the share a modern mountains of the stage is set for an ever recurring impasse between the desire for preservation against others insist is progress. The criminal trial against former friend to do so Harvey Weinstein is set to open a new youll know weinstein is facing charges of rape and Sexual Assault based on the accounts of dozens of women including several top hollywood actresses weinstein has denied the charges and says any section count as what consensual some viewers may find parts of this report disturbing. The disgraced former hollywood mogul leaving court in december 67 year old Harvey Weinsteins health appears to have deteriorated sharply in just 2 years after the scandal around him started to unfold. In 2017 weinstein was still a cochairman of the Weinstein Company alongside his brother bob. Together they produced a number of highly successful movies including pulp fiction shakespeare in love and django unchained. In october 2017 several women many of them actresses came forward to accuse weinstein of Sexual Harassment the allegation the spark for global feminist me to movement which soon spread from the Film Industry to many other aspects of society weinsteins case continued to bring forward one new account after another he led me to his bathroom pleading that i just watch him masturbate. My heart was racing and i was very scared. I pulled my arm away finally and headed to the door he started following me and telling me that he could introduce me to Bob Weinstein and i could get a 3 picture deal and that he would green light my script but i had to watch him masturbate about 80 women have spoken out about Harvey Weinstein among them actresses Angelina Jolie ashley judd and Gwyneth Paltrow according to paltrow she was 22 years old when weinstein made sexual advances against her. Following the accusations the academy of Motion Picture arts and sciences which awards the oscars expelled weinstein he was fired from his own company in october 2017 mediately after the scandal broke weinsteins wife Georgina Chapman announced she was leaving him. The criminal trial against weinstein is based on 2 cases of Sexual Assault and rape dating from 20062013 but prosecutors will call on several other accusers to establish a pattern of predatory sexual behavior. Let me get some perspective now on Weinstein Strawn and now from a feminist author and activist christina learns shes also a cofounder off the Advocacy Group the center for feminist Foreign Policy welcome just to not tell me 1st what will you be watching for in this trial all perhaps around this trial. I hope that we once again will get the longest possible charts long as possible sentence and i also hope that this trial will unlike many of us focus on his behavior on his predatory behavior and. History and that the victims and those who have come forward will not be traumatized and and i really hope that so throughout history like women have come forward and like laid open the wounds of sexualized violence that theyve experienced through men and throughout history we have seen that the voice in the statement of one men usually tends to weigh as heavy as those of like hundreds even thousands of women and i hope that this will change i hope that when up to 80 in people women have come forward to accuse this sexual perpetrator that their voice is what we have and that we have finally changed how society. Listens to womens voices now when the scandal 1st erupted about weinstein it kicked off the me to move into that it was 2 years ago has anything really changed for women in these 2 yes so not enough but at the same time to me to movement has been recognized as one of the most impactful of social movements that weve ever seen throughout history so all the debates that weve seen they are fundamental in changing social norms and behaviors because thats the key fact. A recent study in has come forward in the u. S. That has shown that when boys show a progressive attitudes towards genda theyre less likely half as likely to commit them violin. Afterwards so we really need to realize that its not only about having a fine station its about a system of such in the that we have in our society and its like a pyramid where the bottom its its like. Bad attitudes towards women and then its like the turn to pay gap and then this were raising to the top we see. Rape and we see sexless violence and the kind of the peak of the. Its like in germany for example every every day a man a husband or former partner tries to kill his wife or form a wife and unless we recognize that males violence mens violence and toxic masculinity is the biggest security concern in our society and nothing will change so its not just the celebrities in fear that you have this kind of stuff but also indeed to do life in our societies christina loans thank you very much for your insights on this very important issue thank you. On the 2nd look not the 1st big hollywood event of the Golden Globe Awards they often seen as an indication of what to expect at the oscars which are next month it was a night of upsets with several surprise than is taking home the evenings most coveted prizes. The red carpet lit up with smiling celebrities and flashing cameras as the stars of hollywood gathered for the Golden Globes awards ceremony its the 1st major red carpet event of 2020. The big surprise when it was director sam mendez found 917. 00 which won best drama beating favorites Marriage Story and joker. Quentin tarantinos film once upon a time in hollywood won best comedy. Own and in t. V. Comedy quirky hit seriously bad scooped the top prize while the shows triple talent writer producer and actress Phoebe Waller bridge to come the award for best comedy actress for what you believe is what we wanted them to make me and also many people ruined my life. Tom hanks won a Lifetime Achievement award for his decades of roles and many well loved films. Many recipients use the stage to call attention to Current Events and political issues like gender equality Climate Change and the bushfires in australia. That is facing me straight to gather hopefully we can be unified and actually make some changes its great to vote but sometimes we have to take that responsibility on ourselves we dont have to take private jets to palm springs for the words sometimes were back with these. Comedian and host Ricky Gervais has closed the ceremony asking the audience to donate to australians affected by the fire to australia right. Detainments correspondent scott rocks that are from the w culture joins me now welcome scott now lets talk more about the styles using the speeches to get political how significant was that at the Golden Globes. Well i think its actually quite significant particularly because the globes opened with host Ricky Gervaiss warning the audience not to use the awards as a political platform hes known for being quite cynical and snarky and he deliberately told potential winners to not use as a political platform because people dont care what they think thankfully they ignore them as we just heard there are a lot of political speeches last night led more or less by the topic of Climate Change that was the Biggest Issue driven by the disaster of the bush fires in australia and australian our actor Russell Crowe who except an award in ad stands he set the tone saying that the bush fires were the result of Climate Change that people had to take action we just heard walking phoenix 2nd that and there are a number of other actors and actresses who won last night who specifically pointed to the issue of Climate Change but for me the most powerful speech was actually from Michelle Williams who used her award platform it gave her to speak out about womens rights particularly the right to abortion which macys might be under threat in the u. S. At the moment so its interesting because i think it shows that hollywood thinks in this very politically turbulent turbulent time that they have to use the platforms theyre given to to speak out on the issues that matter to them and not just use the awards thing like the Golden Globes as a chance to celebrate themselves ok another issue is that fakes taking over the big screen now always saying the film was pushed back. Yeah it was interesting netflix led the nominations going to the Golden Globes both in t. V. And film is supposed to be their big night but they came away with just 2 wins out of 34. 00 nominations theres been a big pushback against netflix from the Film Industry because netflix refuses to give their movies a sort of proper Theatrical Release and the 2 big films irishman from Martin Scorsese and Marriage Story didnt really come away with many inspired short just pick up one globe and but i think its not just the pushback from the Film Industry but also sort of shows that movies that go out on netflix dont have the same cache as big screen releases i dont think it has the same impact if you see a film like Marriage Story on your couch in your pajamas on on your smartphone or on a on a computer the films that 117 once upon a time in hollywood those are really proper big epic movies that got proper big epic Theatrical Releases and i think that has an impact particularly on voters at the Golden Globes and maybe next month at the oscars theyre trying to do have you scott ross but what was it that had to you. Heres a recap of the top story that were following for you and. His arms lead i had to look combination has been leading prayers at the funeral of general qassam so that mani and others killed by a u. S.
