I mean ranjan insulin money skilling has raised tensions in the region his assassination is schools an outpouring of anger against the u. S. Iran says it will seek revenge for the killing. Not out of the car revered in life martyred in death. Hundreds of thousands of mourners witnessed the return of general kasim salim manis body to his hometown of kemah. After a 3 day state funeral procession across the country this is where his journey ends. Soliman he was killed in a u. S. Drone strike in neighboring iraq on friday his death has not only provoked an outpouring of grief across the country but also anger. Shouting death to america iranian lawmakers have been quick to pass a law condemning those involved in solemn on these deaths as terrorists all those who ordered this crime and who are with the pentagon and u. S. Military are counted as terrorists. 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 thrown the u. S. Military presence in iraq into question there was confusion after a leaked a letter from the u. S. Defense department appeared to suggest an imminent withdrawal of american troops from iraq the pentagon says the letter was a draft and a mistake and there was no decision to leave the country. In life so money was considered a danger to america in death many now wonder whether hes become an even greater threat. Now germanys announces its redrawing pontiff this contingent of soldiers from iraq im not joined by our parliamentary correspondent thomas nada tell us why has the German Government decided to withdraw some of its troops from iraq im retired we had 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 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 amrita that it is something temporary germany is particularly concerned about the security on the one hand as i just explained 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 un 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. The fact is the troops who are involved in a Training Mission for example are no longer carrying it arent comforter core to 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 redraw is temporary but what message does this majority send at a time of such high tension in the region it is important to understand the Bigger Picture here 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 emir 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 these Political Correspondent thank you very much.

Thats 5 years to the day since islamist terrorists went on a rampage against journalists at the french magazine called shali abdul family members and colleagues of the 12 who died marked the occasion with a series of emotional ceremonies in paris they included some Staff Members of the satirical publication who themselves were injured by the gunman the socalled Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack which was the 1st of a series of deadly incidents that shook france to its core committed mostly by french born extremists. January 7th to tasman 15 in paris in front of those headquarters terrorists targeted a newspaper which hot published kyra catches of the prophet mohammed it took less than 2 minutes for them to shoot dead 12 people and injure another 11 it was the 1st of a series of deadly attacks that lasted for 2 days.

Newspaper itself nearly bankrupt before the attack became an overnight global sensation and it was even published now the languages. In france to politically incorrect often criticized the magazine met with unprecedented public support. For you to look at that line weve been here since 815 this morning for us this is a statement a political act. It was a 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 and friends 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 obey house and santino where deployed and granted special powers to tackle terrorism. But more attacks followed including the november 2015 massacre where 130 people died. The following here in nice dozens were killed when a truck drove into a crowd on bastille day. Both attacks were claimed by factions of the Islamic State. 5 years our friends is still on the alert for new terror attacks while the survivors of the challis have to shooting continue to share derrick ounce after massacre. And that report by the deli in the thick of correspondent in the new chair as she joins me now in the studio with. A french what are your memories of that event 5 years ago today. The 1st memory that cost of mine is absolute shock upon finding out about the attack i found out about it on watching television and. 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 agenda is to have been killed in the attacks obviously doc 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 opposed to 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 out day unfortunately is that france 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 government so really the preparation of the government is what came to of course since then the government deployed to something that operation which we try to talk about in the report it includes more than 10000 soldiers being deployed 5000 more Police Officers being deployed outside but sadly as you as weve seen over the past year in france it doesnt prevent the attacks and the latest edition of a do 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 those editor or sais catalans nowadays in france im really tolerated and that freedom of expression is no longer what it was and free. Of expression that challis has this idea has always been a paper which was which showed a lot of irreverence that thats the trademark of the newspaper against islam being beat 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 not only by fan and by father to expect or so by the general public which is nowadays often fed up with that irreverence riot in london charles thank you very much for those insights on that story the 5th anniversary of the attack on shirley and dont in france new charges of room brought against the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in los angeles the District Attorney has charged him with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another on consecutive nights in 2013 this is the trial of the former friend producer got underway in new york their use facing accusations from 2 women of rape and Sexual Assault weinstein denies these charges.
