Saw him money was killed in a u. S. Drone strike in neighboring iraq on friday his death is not only provoked an outpouring of grief across the region but also anger. And we repeat once again all will power is from we tell our enemies that we will retaliate. But if they take another action we will set ablaze the places that they like and feel passionate about artistry. The u. S. Is already bracing itself for retaliation paratroopers from the u. S. 82nd Airborne Division are on their way to the middle east theyll make up part of the 3000. 00 additional troops being sent to the region. But tensions with iran have also throwing the u. S. Military presence in iraq into question there was confusion after a leach letter from the u. S. Defense department appeared to suggest an imminent withdrawal of american troops from iraq it bore the name of u. S. Marine general william c. Lee but it wasnt signed the pentagon has since clarified saying the letter was a draft and a mistake and there was no decision whatsoever to leave iraq sunday manis death reigniting tensions between this region and the United States. Now germanys announces its regrowing pontiff its contingent of soldiers from iraq im not joined by our parliamentary correspondent thomas nada tell us why has the German Government decided to reduce some of its troops from iraq im rachel we have access to a letter sent by the german ministries of defense and Foreign Affairs the German Parliament explaining the decision on the key element there is the security concerns that german officials have in particular when it comes to those soldiers that are stationed in iraq its important to stress amrita that this is on a temporary basis its not on a permanent basis and that were only talking of a small part of germanys troops in iraq that theyre going to be moving to 2 neighboring countries in the region to jordan and kuwait but again important to stress on rita that it is something temporary germany is particularly concerned about the security on the one hand as i just of spain on the other hand there are also concerns about the political situation and how that will evolve in the next few days and weeks in particular when it comes to the on t. I. S. Coalition german officials have been discussing this a lot here in berlin and in fact German Foreign minister. Had a lot to say on this this is part of what he had to say on this regard. So. The fact is the troops who are involved in a Training Mission for example are no longer carrying it arent comes to court the coalitions entire anti i ask combat mission is also currently on hold. So the safety of our soldiers who are there is our highest priority. Were checking them out on a daily basis i have so far taken every precaution to ensure the safety of our soldiers on the ground. So the security as we heard from the foreign minister of germany off the soldiers is most important and as you said almost the german contingent in iraq is small and the draw is temporary but what message does this majority said at a time of such high tension in the region it is important to understand the Bigger Picture here im retired if you read carefully that letter by german officials it is clear that they have 2 priorities in mind one is the stability of iraq something a german officials particularly worried about and 2nd the on t. I. S. Coalition which as you know is a direct threat as well the i. A. S. To the e. U. And to germany its something that german officials are particularly concerned about as well as how they can still continue to call the Islamic State in the region if the situation continues to change in iraq so these 2 elements remain particularly important for germany and for the e. U. As a whole and thats why german officials will also be having various discussions not only with iraqi officials in fact germany sending a high ranking delegation to baghdad for consultations but theyre also having discussions with other european leaders as well and lets not forget that im going to call herself will be traveling to russia at the weekend to have discussions with that he may put in there also on this issue so a lot of talk a lot of discussions on this issue that for germany is becoming very important indeed to do the obvious Political Correspondent thank you very much.

Its 5 years to the day since islamist terrorists went on a deadly rampage against journalists at the french magazine charlie and emotional remembrance in paris to mark the anniversary has just ended Staff Members at the satirical magazine were killed and many were injured the socalled Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack which was the 1st in a series of incidents that shook france to its core committed mostly by french born extremists. January 7th to 10. 15 in paris in front of those headquarters terrorists targeted a newspaper which hot published character catches of the prophet mohammed it took less than 2 minutes for them to shoot their 12 people and injure another 11 it was defense of a series of deadly attacks that lasted for 2 days. In the aftermath of the killing tarzans of french people too just treats to share the grief leaders from all over the world gathered in paris following 2 never gave way to terrorism everyone was shyly. Newspaper itself nearly bankrupt before the attack became an overnight global sensation and was even published in the languages. In france to politically incorrect after an criticized magazine met was unprecedented public support. Or you know look at that line weve been here since 815 this morning for us this is a statement of political let. Very important to show solidarity for freedom of expression of those for sure i think this day will go down in history and that the attack was a major blow to freedom of the press in france but beyond doubt the slaughter of those journalists reveals that a country was ill prepared to answer terrorist threats. For the next 2 years france would leave in a state of emergency thousands more military personnel and Police Officers part of the socalled a better sense than to know what deployed and granted special powers to tackle terrorism. But more attacks followed including a november 2015 batman massacre where 130 people died. The following hearing needs dozens were killed when a truck drove into a crowd on bastille day. Those attacks were claimed by factions of the sliming state. Friends is still on alert for new terror attacks while the survivors of the challis of do shooting continue to share their accounts after a massacre. And that report by the military correspondent Emmanuel Chaz she joins me now in the studio with the use of french what are your memories of that event 5 years ago today. The 1st memories i console mine is the absolute shock upon finding out about the attack i found out about it on watching television and seeing that quiet streets you know those fires that we hear the very beginning of the report that has been a real shock and also as a french person i grew up with drawings of. Those are some of the generals who have been killed in the attacks obviously dad came as a total shock and also disbelief i would say because here cumin life has been taken because of the ideas that were conveyed by journalists and the sheer brutality of the attack it lasted less than 2 minutes to jihadists killed those 12 people in less than 2 minutes so really the shock of that day remains as of today and there was shock across the nation and across europe on the day has there been a legacy to that event 5 years ago has anything been learned from what happened that day well what has been learned day unfortunately is that friends was indeed very ill prepared to answer terrorists as terror is that came from within because most jihadists were born in france actually now we found out that most people who committed such attacks were already under civilian but werent arrested for lack of means by the french guy. And so really the preparation of the government is what came to of course since then the government deployed to something their operation which we try to talk about in the report it includes more than 10000. 00 soldiers being deployed 5000 more Police Officers being deployed on side but sadly as youve as weve seen over the past year in france it doesnt prevent the attacks and the latest edition of shelley ado is also be political it says new census ships new dictatorships and it talks about the editor talks about a rising intolerance in france what kind of intolerance is he talking about sharia editorial ses catalans nowadays in france are media tolerated and that freedom of expression is no longer what it was and the freedom of expression that challis has. Has always been a paper which was which showed a lot of irreverence that thats the trademark of the newspaper against islam. Against catalyses and theres no specific target members of the government are regularly targeted by charley but that is that has become less and less tolerated and not only by founded by fanatics but also by the general public which is nowadays often fed up with that irreverence riot in london a chance thank you very much for those insights on that story the 5th anniversary of the attack on shirley in france you know the news some of the korean car maker who die and us right here in service are teaming up to develop electric said flying cars and the announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics show in las vegas the vehicles are being billed as the answer to urban congestion but major technological and regulatory barriers remain.
