Anger growing. Giant crowds at the burial sunday of general Qassem Soleimani. Iran now weighing how to retaliate against the u. S. Death to america chants from iranian lawmakers. The iranian cabinet voting no longer to obey restrictions imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal including limits onnure yanium enrichment. President Trump Aboard Air force one repeating his threats to target irans cultural sites, actions that would likely be considered a war crime. He said theyre allowed to kill our people. Theyre allowed to torture and maim our people. Theyre allowed to use roadside bombs and up our people and were not allowed to touch their cultural sites . It doesnt work that way. But earlier sunday secretary of state pompeo backed the president s position. So Cultural Centers are theoretically fair targets in your view . Jake we do the things that are right and consistent with american liveed. Ive been part of the discussion, planning process. Everything ive seen about how we will respond with great force and great vigor if the iranian leadership makes a bad decision. We hope that they wont. But when they do, america will respond. Meantime President Trump appearing to notify congress of potential military retaliation for an iranian attack via twitter. The United States will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner. We should note that a disproportionate strike would also violate international law. Speaker nancy pelosi in a letter to democrats wrote the house will vote on a war powers resolution aimed at limiting the president s actions against iran. Frederi frederi Frederick Pleitgen standing by live for us in tehran. What are you hearing from folks on the ground . Reporter there is definitely a lot of anger here on the streets of tehran. A lot of people who are quite anger and who have been chanting the moment we go on and air and have been chanting things lying death to america and also critical of President Trump and the trump administration. So you can see also the large crowds that have been turning out. Its really something i havent seen in this country even though ive been hear id say about 15, 16 times already and these certainly a lot bigger than ive seen here in iran before. It all started very early in the morning today when the body of Qassem Soleimani and the others killed were essentially eulogized by the Supreme Leader himself speaking the prayer. And that also goes to show how important a figure Qassem Soleimani was here in iran. Many people here also saying they want revenge for the death of Qassem Soleimani. It was quite interesting because i spoke to the main advisor of irans Supreme Leader and that advisor told me first of all there would be revenge, it would be military revenge against military targets but also that iran does not want a full on war with the United States. Lets listen in. Translator the response for sure would be military and against military sites. Let me tell you one thing, our leadership has officially announced we never have been seeking war and we will enot be seeking war. It is america that started the war. Therefore they should accept appropriate reactions to their action. The only thing that can end this period of war is for the americans to receive a blow that is equal to the blow theyve inflicted. Afterwards they should not seek a new cycle. Reporter so the iranians theyre essentially saying theyre going to strike back against the United States, essentially saying theyre going to lash out but they want it to end there. Its also quite interesting, laura, because that Senior Advisor also telling me despite the fact Qassem Soleimani was such a big and important figure theyve already named his successor. And they say as far as their foreign operations are concerned theyre not deterred and theyre going to be a able to operate the way they did before. President trump is threatening sanctions on iraq after its parliament voted to order all foreign troops out of the country. Sources tell cnn that administration tried unsuccessfully, too soon to know whether u. S. Troops will actually be expelled. President trump telling reporters on air force one if they do ask us to leave, we will charge them sanctions like theyve never seen before ever. It will make iranian sanctions look somewhat tame. Lets go live to baghdad to cnns jomana. Whats your view from there snr. When you mention those comments by the president , christine, that is definitely going to ianger iraqis, when he talks about sanctions like theyve never seen before. Well, you know, iraqis did go through some of the worst sanctions here. You know, the u. N. Imposed sanctions in the 90s where thousands of people died, and that was atributtributed to the limits of imports of food. And you mentioned this is key ally the u. S. President is threatening. The message from the iraqis maeb clear. The shia majority in this country, the shia Political Leadership has said they want u. S. And Foreign Forces out. And the Prime Minister explained that to Parliament Yesterday saying that they are currently in a situation where the only option really for the interests of the United States and iraq is to ask these forces to leave because iraq is basically turning into a battleground between iran and the United States. And iraq is going to be it will end up paying the price, and therefore forces cannot protect or guarantee the protection of u. S. Forces here. So theyre now you know, theyve passed this resolution in parliament. The Iraqi Government is going to have to work on a way of asking these forces to leave. Of course theres legal, logistical and procedural issues here. A decision like this asking forces to leave especially when it comes to the fight against isis. Weve heard from the u. S. Led coalition saying right now theyve halted all their operations and theyre focusing on protecting their forces, christine. Thank you. Well, President Trump is not ruling out the possibility he can release intelligence related to the air strike that killed iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Top u. S. National Security Officials continue to defend white house claims of an impending threat to american lives, but some Congressional Democrats are questioning how imminent the threat was. After a briefing with Administration Officials on friday failed to provide any convincing evidence. Over the weekend the white house officially notified congress of the drone strike that killed soleimani under the war powers act notification is required within 48 hours of an action that could lead to armed conflict. Even though President Trump said this friday. We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war. More than 3,000 Service Members are being deployed to the middle east, many from the Immediate Response force of the 82nd Airborne Division at fort bragg, north carolina. Heres the wife of one of those Service Members. Its stressful for sure. He was only supposed to be doing like training and now its obviously transpired into something else, so we are making it through, though. The soldiers will first go to kuwait, one of several countries with a big u. S. Military footprint. And then military leaders will decide where they need to be deployed.

All right, even before tensions rose with iran, u. S. Personnel already faced serious danger overseas. And more proof out of that sunday when three americans including a u. S. Service member were killed in a terror attack on a u. S. Military base in kenya. What are you hearing there . Reporter well, we are still unpicking, laura, about the events of yesterday morning. But i just have to catch you up that, you know, six days into 2020 the alqaeda affiliated Al Shabaab Group have already carried out an attack, over 85 killed. On the 2nd of january another attack where were talking about this military base being attacked, killing four civilians. And of course yesterday morning this sudden unexpected attack on a heavily fortified base that houses a u. S. Special operations who train with their african partners to try to get rid of this scourge of al shabaab. At the moment the country is very tense. There are all kinds of rumors about possible hotels being attacked and much bigger presence of forces on the ground. And of course the Kenya Defense force themselves say they killed five terrorists or discovered five bodies at the scene of that military base attack. And then again we know that several planes were wrecked by the terrorists including around about six civilian operated aircraft. The story is still unfolding. We still need to find out, laura, how this actually happened. Still unfolding but a seriously fortified base. This is a reminder of the serious vulnerabilities overseas there. A state of emergency in new south whales. At least 135 fires burning in the australian state, home to sid no. More than 65 of these fires uncontained. Try flying through this. Thats an Australian Defense helicopter through blood red skies. The glow stretches all the way to new zealand. And heres a before and after look from auckland, more than 1,300 miles away. The wildfires have already killed 24 people burning 23,000 square miles. Nationwide this is the largest peacetime evacuation in the countrys history. Andrew stevens like from the National Capital with the very latest. And this is the beginning of the summer, and the forecasts are just unforgiving here in terms of heat. Reporter unforgiving is the word. We already saw on saturday the needle hitting 120 degrees, and that was in sydney, on the outskirts of sydney. That was being driven by this very hot, scorching hot dry wind which has been whipping up the blames, the bush fire flames, and weve had as you say more than a hundred bush fires many of them out out of control over the weekend. And tens of thousands of people being evacuated. The hardest hit areas, christine, also in the most popular states. New south whales and victoria. Thousands having to leave their homes, being forced to leave and many, many more leaving it too late and couldnt get out and they had to hunker down and hope the fires would pass them. And we have had fatalities. 24 people have died so far. Theres a lot of anger against the government. Now just behind me here is the parliament where the Prime Minister today announced about 1. 4 billion u. S. Package to help bush fire recovery, but theres still a lot of anger about how the government hasnt acted quickly enough. And as you say were in a respite today, but by thursday, friday those soaring temperatures are expected to come back with those biting hot winds, and were back in a very similar situation that weve just come out of. And as you say, this is just the start. Weve got another two months of bush fire season to go. Yeah, this is the beginning of this story sadly. Thank you. Gosh, thats the last thing they need is temperatures over 100 degrees fahrenheit. Who took home top prizes at the Golden Globes and of course there was a little bit of politics mixed in.

All right, home field did not turn out to be much of an advantage in the nfl playoffs. Cole wire has more in this mornings bleacher report. Good morning. Three of the four home teams lost this weekend. The vikings, they went to new orleans yesterday as the weekends biggest underdogs playing in one of the nfls hostile environments. Four quarters just not enough for these teams. Minnesota quarterback kirk cousins comes through when it matters most. In over time, 43 yards to adam and gets the vikings down to the goal line. And three plays later cousins seals the win. A four yard phase to kyle rudolf for the game winning touch down. Saints wont even get a chance to try to score. It wouldnt be a playoff game in new orleans, though, without a little controversy. Saints fans saying that push off there by redaufl should have been a penalty, but officials said it was not enough to draw a flag. Minnesota upsets the saints. Kirk cousins answers his critics who doubted he could win big games. Thats how we won all year, a team, right . I got three words for you now, the eagles they went into yesterdays game against the seahawks beat up with injury. And First Quarter quarterback carson wentz hit in the back of the head, forced to leave the game for good. No penalty call. Russell wilson throws a 53yard touch down. The eagles had a chance late, though, down 8 with under two minutes to go. Sacked and seahawks defense. Season high seven sacks in this game. Seattle wins 179 and advance to the divisional round. We knew we had to make a play and sure enough and i think more than anything else we believe. We have everything we want and everything we need. Marshawn is back, too. To see him running is pretty cool. So got a lot of good things going for us. Weve got to stay the course, though. And then there were 8. The vikings going to San Francisco and the titans going to baltimore. And sunday the chiefs host the texans while the packers host the seahawks. Only two quarterbacks who have played in a super bowl are remaining, and theyre playing each other. Russell wilson and aaron rogers, so its really exciting to see some fresh blood this season. It is. And no patriots in the super bowl. Who knows . Hes not going to be a happy man. Thanks so much. Early start continues right now. Huge crowds in tehran following the u. S.

Giant crowds at the burial sunday of general Qassem Soleimani. Iran now weighing how to retaliate against the u. S. Death to america chants from iranian lawmakers. Look at that. The iranian cabinet voting to no longer obey restrictions imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal including the limits onnurean u enrichment. He said theyre allowed to kill our people, theyre alloyed to torture and maim our people. Theyre allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people, and were not allowed to touch their cultural sites . It doesnt work that way. Two senior u. S. Officials discuss widespread opposition within the administration to targeting cultural sites. But earlier sunday secretary of state mike pompeo backed the president s position. So Cultural Centers are theoretically fair targets in your view . Jake when you do the things that are right and consistent with american lives ive been part of the discussion, planning process. Everything ive seen about how we will respond with great force and great vigor if the iranian leadership makes a bad decision. We hope that they wont, but when they do america will respond. Meantime President Trump appearing to notify congress of potential military retaliation for an iranian attack via twitter.

Speaker nancy pelosi in a letter to democrats says the house will vote on a war powers resolution aimed at limiting the president s military actions against iran. Lets go to fred now. Fred pleitgen is there for us in tehran. All morning youve had a lot of protests in the streets, death to america, death to americas allies. What is the scene now . Reporter hi, christine. Well, its dissipating a little bit i would say. A lot of people now after the event has ended seem to be going back towards the city center, but youre absolutely right. For the past couple of hours theres been massive crowds on the street. There are some apparently saying it could have been over a Million People who came to the ceremony that took place with the body of Qassem Soleimani and others who were killed in that air strike, were basically taken here through the center of tehran. At the beginning there was a service in the grand mosque, the tehran university, and it was at that place the Supreme Leader himself prayed over the bodies of those who were killed. Just to give you an idea how important Qassem Soleimani was to many iranians. And youre right, a lot of people still angry at the United States, chanting death to america. And also a lot of them saying they want revenge. I was able to speak to one of the Supreme Leaders main military advisers and he told me there would be military revenge. He said that revenge would take place against military targets, but he also said iran does not want a full on war with the United States. Lets listen in. Reporter the response for sure would be military and against military sites. Let me tell you one thing, our leadership has officially announced weve never been seeking war and we will not be seeking war. It is america that started the war. Therefore, they should accept appropriate reactions to their actions. The only thing that can end this period of war is for the americans to receive a blow that is equal to the blow theyve inflicted. Afterwards they should not seek a new cycle. Reporter so there you have the advisor to irans Supreme Leader saying the iranians are definitely going to strike back but also saying they want it to end there. At the same time as weve been reporting a lot of people here saying they want very harsh revenge and quick revenge. Obviously Qassem Soleimani for many iranians a very revered and important figure. A he said despite the fact Qassem Soleimani was such an important person for irans military structure theyve already named a successor and theyre not going to miss a beat in their operations which which obviously means alsoe means threats to the United States. And the president of the United States has vowed if theres eeralitation yum for iranians he will retaliate on cultural sites in iran. Thats not popular with the crowds you see this morning. Reporter yeah, i think not popular is probably a big understatement. I mean one of the things we have to understand is that iran is a society that does have its divisions, but when it comes to irans history, culture, people here are very much on the same page. Theres already big campaigns on social media criticizing President Trump for saying that and that same advisor to irans Supreme Leader. He also told me if President Trump says hes going to hit 52 iranian cultural sites, then the iranians they say are going to hit 300 sites. Clearly they say if that takes place then the gloves will come off for the iraniansal as well. Thanks, fred. Well, President Trump now lashing out at iraq after its parliament voted to order all foreign troops out of the country. Sources tell us Administration Officials tried to unsuccessfully convince iraqi leaders to prevent the nonbinding vote. Its too soon to know whether u. S. Troops will actually be expelled. President trump telling reporters on air force one if they do ask us to leave, we will charge them sanctions like theyve never seen before. Itll make iranians sanctions look somewhat tame. Lets go live to baghdad and explain to us what effect those actions might have. Reporter you talk to iraqis here and they find these comments by the president quite stunning. Theyre questioning whether he actually knows the history of this country that it is already gone through devastating sanctions in the 90s, those u. N. Imposed sanctions that, you know, were thousands of lives were lost during the 90s, and that was blamed on these sanctions. Right now the situation in iraq, the economy was starting to improve. But at the same time you had protests that were taking place. The youth in this country unhappy with the Economic Situation with the unemployment in this country. So the Iraqi Government has already been dealing with this. So any sort of sanctions will obviously have an impact. But its the message this sends when you have the u. S. President threatening an ally, one of its key allies in this region, iraq, with sanctions. And theyve made it clear the reason they are doing this, the reason they are asking or will be asking u. S. Forces Coalition Forces we heard from the Prime Minister, he says it is in the best interests of iraq and the United States. It is because he said the Current Situation and the current tensions, theyre not going to be able to protect u. S. Forces here on the ground, laura. Jumana, thanks so much for being there for us. More on all of that plus growing fires in australia have now burned an area the size of west virginia. Were live with more on the largest peacetime evacuation in australias history. If you listen to the political debate in this country, it sounds like we have a failed society. But nothing could be further from the truth. Americans are compassionate and hardworking. We arent failing. Our politicians are failing. Thats why im running for president. To end the corporate takeover of the government. And give more power to the american people. Thats how well win healthcare, fair wages, and clean air and water as a right. Im tom steyer and i approve this message. Witha color change is easy. Des, nutrisse has 77. From our darkest blacks, to our lightest blondes. It nourishes while it colors. Plus avocado, olive and shea. Change a little, or a lot. Nutrisse. Nourished hair. Better color.

President trump not ruling out the possibility that he could release intelligence related to the air strike that killed iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Top u. S. National Security Officials continue to defend white house claims of an impending threat to american lives, but some Congressional Democrats are questioning just how imminent that threat was. After a briefing with Administration Officials on friday failed to provide convincing evidence. Over the weekend the white house officially notified congress of the drone strike that killed soleimani. Notification came under the war powers act even though President Trump said this friday. We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war. More than 3,000 Service Members are being deployed to the middle east. Many from the Immediate Response force of the 82nd Airborne Division in fort bragg, north carolina. Its stressful for sure. He was supposed to be only doing like training and now it has obviously transpired into something else, so we are making it through, though. Wives and families of these Service Members are bracing for what comes next. The soldiers will first go to kuwait, one of the largecountri with the biggest military footprint. Joining us now is a cnn political analyst. Lep me see what the white house strategy is here. Because what i see is the fall out. Youve got iraq to get american troops out of there, and the iran saying it will abandon nucle nuclear restrictions. 3,000 Service Members headed to the region to contain the fall out. What is the strategy here from this president who vowed to get out of endless wars . Well, thats the Million Dollar question. Thats what a lot of Congressional Democrats and some republicans are asking. We learned in 2003 you dont take big action in this region without a plan of what to do next. And its not clear the president has a plan. Its more acting as each event happens. Talk to us about credibility, right . So wave heard from this Administration Since the strike the word imminent over and over again from secretary of state mike pompeo, from the pentagon, but we havent seen a White House Briefing in a long time. And so how do you trust that its an imminent threat . Well, we dont know that, and this president does face a credibility gap. Not just because of the intelligence on this issue but everything weve seen from the administration before. This is president whos willing to say things that are not true and to say misleading statements. So now theres tough questions about why did we do this . And why does he believe the intelligence now when he hasnt believed the intelligence for the past three years . We dont know if he even
