A series of terrorist acts of france and provoked a massive Security Response look at how it affected the country and how its been coping with in law make extremism. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program the stampede at the funeral of the assassinated general mani has claimed 50 lives according to irans state media hundreds of thousands had gathered in the city of care mon to pay their latest respects to the general who was killed in a u. S. Drone strike its not know what caused the stampede. They were here to say goodbye to a military commander they called their own instead they lost their own lives caught up in a stampede as hundreds of thousands of mourners descended dont care man. I know this is the hometown of cast son sonny manny the general killed by a u. S. Military drone last friday. After a 3 day state funeral procession this is where his journey was due to end. But following the stampede the burial of irans latest martyr has been perspective and. More grief for a rainy ins but that anger over the killing of their National Hero lives on. Shouting death to america iranian lawmakers have been quick to pass a law declaring those involved in solemn mannys death as terrorists. Amir almost all of those involved in this crime who are with the pentagon and the u. S. Military accounted as terrorists. More u. S. Troops are already on their way to the middle east 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 draw off and a mistake and there was no decision to leave the country. The white house says that in life it saw a man he was considered a danger to america in death many are now wondering whether hes become an even greater threat. And we are joined now by middle east analyst. From bonn and i bet id like to begin by talking about the stampede reports now saying that more than 50 people have died where the authority is unprepared to manage such crowds. Possibly and i think if you if we as we have been following the coverage of the of the gathering since 2 days ago this was i guess unavoidable the masses and actually also the his tyria of the mourners eventually led to this catastrophe and yes i guess there was a certain level of unpreparedness of how to handle such crowds iran in the meantime has has warned the United States to prepare for a dark day of revenge what possible scenarios do you see. The scenarios are or different obviously i mean what week would we have to expect some sort of retaliation in the region where iranian troops or iranian backed militias in the region attack the u. S. Presence there is also a long term revenge and that is basically the continuity of irans policy to try to oust the u. S. From the direct neighborhood and these 2 forms of revenge can obviously feed into each other you mentioned the region is that where you believe tehran might take its revenge for the killing of the money. Yeah i mean the way that i follow the discourse in iran and the discussions and the debates the focus will be in the neighboring region i dont share the concerns that europe might be a playground or a theater for this so i think the iranians bill go after u. S. Interests in the region meantime we have many calls to deescalate the tension how do you see the current and the potential role of u. S. And iranian allies in this regard. Im afraid that the european statement yesterday which was very and one sided in which its only called iran for restraint and fell short of criticizing the u. S. For any role in the in the escalation between the 2 will undermine the european role in this because the iranians will not see europe as being a credible mediator at the same time i think there are still saying same mines in iran that will also know that any sort of revenge can actually worsen the escalation to extend to an extent that nobody really wants and in the meantime we have conflicting signals from washington but we do have the u. S. Sending more troops to the middle east how do you see this military presence this increased military presence impacting the situation. Its a bit difficult to make sense of the u. S. Posture there on the one hand we really know that u. S. President trump seeks to withdraw from the region and if there was one consistent point during his electoral complain it was that he wants to end all those useless wars then we hear about additional troops as i just mentioned we saw this letter which seems to be not a real one or if so over a fake one that they want to leave iraq its a bit difficult to make to really make sense of the us goals in the us strategy at the current lead but we can see dynamics in iraq that are actually going to war its the willingness to oust the us from iraq middle east analysts about to buy thank you my pleasure and in a further indication of rising tension in the middle east germany has begun moving its troops out of iraq the German MilitaryTraining Mission there comprises about 150 troops stationed in and around the capital baghdad have been moved into neighboring jordan and kuwait 117 soldiers will remain in the kurdish city of erbil in northern iraq. Chief Political Editor mckayla questioner is following a visit of the German Defense minister on about crime karrenbauer in bavaria mckayla how does the defense minister explain the withdrawal of the German Military from iraq well after she went on the record recently calling for potentially more engagement of german troops when it comes also to German National interest shes also gets so when the risk is great that she would then immediately react to that and lets just take a listen at how she explained this particular possible withdrawal. Why is it always almost 3 pm structures that work in the camp in taji have been flown out to jordan. So they can easily return to the country whenever the Training Mission resumes. And the reaction of the German Defense minister so far just a withdrawal of a 3rd of the german soldiers from iraq what about the rest well they will stay put for now until it is clear theres a clearer picture whether they are actually still welcome because there are 2 things to stress here 1st of all this is a Training Mission there are 2 separate Training Missions by the germ military there and all troops in iraq including the United States troops are there upon invitation by the government and this is something everybody is waiting to understand whether the vote of the Iraqi Parliament against foreign troops remaining in the country will actually translate into a government policy then germany would certainly pull all of its troops out but germany is no big player there on the ground and one also has to bear in mind that germanys ego always on a 2 tier approach which includes Civil Society and reconstruction and there is many more than those less than 200 military personnel there in terms of civilian personnel i got the chance to speak to the German Development minister miller here who said that if all troops have to go that would potentially also have an implication on those efforts to stabilize iraq and Civil Society.

It was a very important to show solidarity for freedom of expression those for the attack was a major blow to press freedom and france but beyond that the killing of shelley of those journalists revealed that the country was ill prepared to respond to terrorist threats for the next 2 years france remained in a state of emergency thousands more military personnel and Police Officers were deployed to tackle terrorism.

The captain of the refugee rescue ship lifeline has been cleared of charges that he failed to properly register his vessel close help to save more than 230 refugees from the mediterranean in june of 2018 he faces or face rather 810000 euro fine in malta over claims that the ship was incorrectly registered but a court has now ruled that he does not have to pay. In june 2018 more than 230. 00 refugees drifted on a rubber boat off the coast of libya before the lifeline found them the captain wanted to save lives but felt that everywhere he looked obstacles were in his past its refused to allow his ship to dock for days listening to the way people are treated around here makes me want to cry people talk about trauma in mexico. After a court imposed the 10000 euro fine in may 2019 lodged an appeal now he has finally been vindicated the court and the letter acquitting the captain but a battle isnt over another ship captain by him was seized by italian authorities last september after he had rescued 100 people from the sea separate proceedings underway there. Oh no. And joining me now here in the studio is ruben like of our spokesperson of the German Charity c. Watch a different migrant rescue organization and in that context what do you make of this verdict 1st of all were not surprised that actually shows peter was not phoned guilty because the rescue is not a crime this is very clear even though european states often try to criminalize sea rescue by any means necessary and thats why also now the german interior minister last see who feel has to apologize to Mission Lifeline and coast because he also played a pretty shameful role in this whole trial when he actually played it for the rest of the ship making it a condition for people to land and to be resettled to chimneys so i expect mr siegel for to apologize to mission life and im going to talk about you know what the critics might say in fact of organizations such as yourself Charity Organizations they might say that youre encouraging people to cross the mediterranean whats your response 1st of all this is statistically proven wrong by several studies by for example the Oxford University furthermore its actually against any logic because actually we are a reaction to a problem that is taking place on the mediterranean when you watch was sending the sea watch one as the 1st chairman as a civil rescue vessel from hamburg in the very same week when we departed to tamworth port there were more than a 1000 people drowning in the Mediterranean Sea they can barely have been encouraged by our project so its pretty clear that we have reaction to the problem and not to source of it thats pure luck she can also with the same argument you could actually stop the mountain rescue from taking place because that might also encourage of the columbus to take risks so if you take this pretty wrong arguments its morally wrong its also practically wrong and thats what i was so youve taken it upon yourself here youre out there rest. Killing people now what more do you want to see from the authorities from the e. U. For example its a pretty easy decision there is the european constitution and the european declaration of human rights and europe has to decide if we want to have those basic rights or not because human rights are worth nothing if they are not for so it cannot be that human rights are only for european passport holders so europe has to decide whether we want these human rights or not and that means to actually establish safe ways to europe and to stop hindering your rescue from taking place of our spokesperson of the German Charity see watch thank you thanks a lot for fun now new charges have been 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 back in 2013 and this as the trial of the former Film Producer got underway in new york there he is facing accusations from 2 women of rape and Sexual Assault weinstein the disgraced former hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein arriving at the new York Supreme Court the 67 year old continues to use a walking frame as a result of an august car accident for which the Police Report details no injuries the Film Producer will face 5 charges brought by 2 women including one of rape the woman who accuses weinstein on that most serious charge remains anonymous the other is from a Production Assistant many who alleges the pulp fiction producer forcibly performed all rule 6 on.
