Im burnt off its good to have you with us we begin tonight with more threats traded between the u. S. And iran iranian president Hassan Rouhani has told donald trump to quote never threaten the iranian nation he reacted to trumps threat today to hit as many as 52. 00 targets if the Islamic Republic retaliate for the assassination of general cost him in tehran huge crowds today turned out for the funeral of the general and others who were killed in that u. S. Drone strike. Weeping over the remains of irans top military commander. The Supreme Leader ayatollah ali hamdani visibly moved as he led funeral prayers for his former close ally. Hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered to pay their respects to general kasem sulaimani killed in a u. S. Drone strike in iraq on friday. I mean if you have bob on the couch then a piece his assassination is considered a declaration of war by many iranians. Speaking at her fathers funeral the generals own daughter has promised were prizes positive margin higher 5 other than army quite that i dont want families of american soldiers in western asia have witnessed americas humiliation in syria iraq on in lebanon afghanistan yemen and palestine not yet they will spend their days waiting for the death of the children. And the anger is spreading across borders in lebanon the iran backed hezbollah militia has threatened to hit American Forces in the region yeah. Meanwhile the Iraqi Parliament has voted to end the u. S. Military presence in the country some 5000 u. S. Troops are there officially to help defeat socalled Islamic State u. S. President donald trump has already warned fagged that it could be hit by tough sanctions if it follows through with his threat. But its irans promise of revenge thats focusing minds terrine has already promised that it will no longer abide by the 2015 nuclear deal raising the stakes even further. And im joined here at the big table now by my colleague iraqi journalist amir with ali amir its good to see you know we asked you to come on the show tonight because you have reported a lot from iraq and iraq is now part of the story there are real real fears tonight that this conflict if it becomes know a military conflict between iran and the u. S. Could destabilize iraq how likely is that i think not just destabilizing iraq could be the next battlefield between the United States and iran iran will nuts risking to have a direct confrontation with the United States on their own turtoni in iraq they will use the rocky to return through their proxies and not forget that is another also proxies in afghanistan they should also have been using from the spigot to attacking also soldiers in afghanistan and we are now facing some speculation about the reaction of iranian about i think in the beginning all the sort of thinks will begin in iraq what do you make then with the Iraqi Parliament voting to basically kick out the u. S. Military i think this is a symbol it could be and it is not a binding right you know it is not a law it is just just want to give it back up for the Prime Minister when he want to sit with american americans officials talking about then youll illegal or legal structure and. The presence of United States in iraq because iraq is really very angry about that because not of all silly mommy because were not talking about the next the 2nd man thats been killed by the on. This will disease iraq enough fishel and killed by the americas in iraq in International Airports well how do you read this weve got the United States saying that iraq is a us ally but at the same time youve got the Iraqi Parliament saying it wants the u. S. Military out and you have the u. S. President threatening sanctions against iraq i mean thats thats not how allies talk with each other is it. By the way you are talking about thieves very important point because the allies should be talking and discussion but the midst of bread president decide without number talk with his allies especially rock specially the the land where his troops is operating that i think iraq is still. Looking for a said you should how the how this is illusion looks like because the main cost is going to pay is iraqis well what about a russian or a chinese solution if you will there are reports that china has told the Prime Minister in iraq that Chinese Military assistance is a possibility now well. You solve the problem with the americans and then come the chinese i think chinese of course they have interest because that is a 1000000000 deals have iraq signed with chinese with china the last months and i think also interesting just to see how the. United states in iraq and just to fill that vacuum in iraq what about what about Islamic State to be the reason that we that weve got these u. S. Troops in iraq the official reason is to protect iraq from Islamic State exactly we still have sleeper cells in iraq in syria state and the possible vacuum of United States specially iraqis is not able to control the sky you know in iraq and they are not capable to call everything. Every day in iraq i think the threat is still there and thats why i think iraqis should. We should think civil time just before they decide to kick off the United States outside iraq yeah i mean its definitely volatile situation i mean it was always as always we appreciate your reporting thank you.

Surgery that he had thats what his lawyers have said is the reason for using the framework and also with regards to the charges being brought against him we expect that both accusers will take the stand and also the prosecution wants to bring in other women who had allegations or acustom Harvey Weinstein all of the sexual acts a against him to also be brought in as witnesses. Spike the fact that those accusations didnt end up in charges being brought against Harvey Weinstein the reason for that is to sort of build up the prosecutions case to show that this is a mine who has allegedly been engaging in you know pretty serious behavior over the past decade or 2 we know theres been a lot of reporting to be attending this trial especially today we also know that Harvey Weinstein in these accusations the hash tag need to movement how will the outcome from this trial how will it impact.

Is well theres a huge Media Presence here deserves a lot of interest in this not only here nationally in the United States but of course internationally and they were speaking about the gravity of this on how important it is that these charges result in a conviction against Harvey Weinstein to send out a message to other people women who have been you know the victims who are the victims of these kind of crimes that are being brought against Harvey Weinstein that he is convicted on they do feel that if they go to the authorities it will result in these predators or these people who carry i. D. s acts actually seeing so many you know charges being brought against him and actually being convicted of those crimes so they want to stress that today here at the courthouse here in manhattan and humble you know the news of these new charges in los angeles against weinstein you know thats just coming in right now how much of a shock is is that where your.
