Parliament where the opposition is accusing the government of mounting a coup. Also ahead 3 u. S. Service members are killed an aircraft are destroyed after al shabaab fighters stormed a kenyan army base. Plus the treasures of ancient egyptian king tilton come on now ronald world tool will explain what the exhibit could mean for egypt. While the fallout from the u. S. Militarys assassination of irans 2nd most powerful man Major General hossam soleimani is spreading fast in baghdad politicians have voted to expel all foreign troops in the country the nonbinding moves being backed by iraqs outgoing Prime Minister. The vote was followed by a number of rocket attacks inside the heavily fortified green zone as well as incentive. Baghdad in the past few hours iran says it will no longer abide by any limits to uranium enrichment under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers but leaders of germany france and the u. K. Arjan tak iran to reconsider its decision meanwhile in lebanon the leader of a rainy and back hezbollah says all u. S. Bases warships and soldiers are now targets because for revenge are growing louder as hundreds of thousands of people mourn the killing of qassam sort of money during his ongoing funeral procession in iran some of intervention has more from baghdad where the security situation is tense weve heard at least 3 explosions here close to the outskirts of the fortified green zone central area where the u. S. Embassy and other important buildings are located we were there throughout the day with at the Iraqi Parliament proceedings were happening now this attack comes. Second night in a row where these projectiles are being fired so far we havent heard about any casualties although there are reports unconfirmed reports at the moment that some of these rockets landed in a residential area and some civilians might have been injured but this is significant because this is the 1st incident after the warning has been lied to his beloved brigades of group which said to iraqi forces and warned them to distance themselves for a 1000 meters away from any u. S. Bases or military installations in indicating that there might be attacks from sunday evening on words and this is the 1st incident of its kind although no one has claimed responsibility so far worth noting that has been abrogated is the group which is designated as a terrorist organization which was targeted by u. S. Forces on the iraq syria border and was spearheading the protests which surrounded the u. S. Embassy an attack that last week. Well the u. S. Says its disappointed by the resolution passed by the Iraqi Parliament john hendren is joining us live from washington d. C. John i understand that over the last few donald trump has been tweeting about this in various other statements have been coming out just bring us up to date with whats being said. Thats right the state department issued that very moderate statement that you mentioned just a moment ago saying it was disappointed in the Iraqi Parliament vote to expel u. S. Troops of course thats a nonbinding vote and went on to say we strongly urge iraqi leaders to reconsider the importance of the ongoing economic and security relationship between the 2 countries but after that donald trump before leaving his mar a lago resort without talking to reporters issued a tweet essentially threatening iran with military action if it were to retaliate for the assassination saying the president said these media posts will serve as a notification to the United States congress that should iran strike any u. S. Person or target the United States will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate manner when he talks about that as notification to the congress that is under the war powers act of 1973 hes got 48 hours to send american troops into any conflict before he has to notify congress well interestingly the House Foreign Relation Committee which is run by democrats issued a tweet shortly after that saying this media post will serve as a reminder that war powers reside in the congress under the United States constitution and that you should read the war powers act and that youre not a dictator now that gives you an idea of the divide there democrats in the congress have been very critical of the president Elizabeth Warren whos running for president has said that there is a legitimate reason to question the president s timing because he is undergoing impeachment this is a contentious issue here in the u. S. Right john lets talk a little bit more about the militarys role in iraq because as you rightly say of course we seem to be getting a mixed messages coming out from state department as well as from the military as well and i believe the militarys been making some sort of comments about how it sees its role in iraq in the future. Thats right the u. S. Central command thats the part of the pentagon that runs operations in the middle east and north africa has issued a statement saying it would temporarily pause action against i sold in that area and the reason its doing that is because it wants to focus on protecting american personnel in those bases this follows rocket attacks that killed an American Contractor at a base there and the u. S. Military says it will now those operations that of course increases the burden not only on the iraqis themselves but on those iranian militia members who are continuing that fight against isis in that countries where there is an ironic effect there. I want to ask you something very quickly john if you dont mind because were beginning to see reports that the u. S. Is taking some sort of action against iranians who are intending to to head towards the United States were getting mixed messages about what exactly that is that you able to give us any indication of whats happening there i think so theres a group called the center on American Islamic relations and they put out a press release saying that 6 more than 60 iranians excuse me iranian americans were detained at length and questioned at the peace arch Border Crossing in Blaine Washington that is on the border with canada and went on to say their passports were confiscated they were questioned about their political views and allegiances and after that the u. S. Customs and Border Patrol agency said that any report that it was picking out a rainy americans and refusing their entry was false theyve issued it they do not discriminate they say based on National Origin but they do say that there is an enhanced posture and that people have been delayed as long as 4 hours the question there is are they singling out iranians or iranian americans we dont know the answer to that john thanks very much indeed. Well meanwhile inside iran hundreds of thousands of people are flooding the streets for the funeral procession of mani who was killed in a u. S. Air strike in baghdad on friday night said bag reports from near raining capital. A sea of mourners millions across the country came out onto the streets nothing like this has been witness in iran since the funeral of the founder of the Islamic Republic many 30 years ago the assassination of qassam so the money has united a country and its different political factions. Street threatening to talk to rein in cultural sites has encouraged even more defiance. But if we sacrifice our life for him if we sacrifice our blood for him and hes still not enough. To think. You did you kill them them or the parents or children. Then its ready love. The money get ready for a big brother well khaleel we. Are with you on the streets of iran the event has reshaped the political dynamic. In november there were antigovernment protests across the country but now the government and political establishment here have unprecedented support images of generous of the money put up across the country and airport named after him even streets named in his honor everyone is being reminded of his contribution to iran and whats seen as his ultimate sacrifice. So the moneys daughter has asked to bring in president Hassan Rouhani and the need to of lebanons hizbullah. To avenge her fathers death this as a nation has now resulted in iran announcing it has no limits to its Nuclear Activities including uranium enrichment its stockpiles and research and development the deal is now old but. Iran says no one can dictate. What kind of response it will give to america in Margit Aldrin know that its adventure has painful repercussions for you mr trump dont frighten the iranian nation with your ignorance you put the lives of americans in this region at risk you better pack up and escape from the region. Recently countries and the rest of the world wait nervously as the fear of a new conflict grows the killing of one man that is now threatening to reshape the face of the middle east assad bake aljazeera the iran. Lebanons hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah says responding to the death of sort of money is not only irans responsibility but the responsibility of its allies tubes in a holder has more from beirut. His images were put up across beiruts Southern Suburbs qassam so many is being mourned in hezbollah stronghold for the iranian backed group and its mainly shia are supporters the late head of the elite could this force the revolutionary guards external wing was their commander the public face symbol and architect of the Islamic Republics influence across the region was killed in a u. S. Drone strike in baghdad on friday since then iran and its regional allies have been promising revenge i feel ill be clear their response is to target their merican military presence in the region their American Military bases their vessels every american officer and soldier in our region and our countries on our soul. Many was not only irans concern but the entire socalled axis of resistance a term used to refer to groups in iraq syria lebanon yemen and the palestinian territories he said it was up to those groups to decide if and how they would retaliate but the hezbollah leader hinted lebanon will not necessarily be an arena. Lebanon is not a front line of americas and irans rivalry there is a us embassy in a few soldiers who trained on me by hezbollah has a presence in the region i can take part. And he would tell me a ship outside the country. It now seems clear what the retaliation may involve Iranian Military commanders made the same threat and irans allies in iraq have already singled out u. S. Bases as targets and the u. S. Presence in the region is in a strong as words fair punishment has repeatedly threatened regional war if iran is attacked by the United States iran will not stand alone is what hes promised it is an expected statement of support from an ally which has grown into a Regional Force photos are emerging of with still in many who the hezbollah leader called a brother he confirmed the late military commander was in lebanon before heading to baghdad via damascus while hezbollah doesnt hide its links with iran it is the strongest political player in lebanon its careful to protect that power at a time of increasing pressure is the condition for success for retaliation or help there because of the Economic Situation because they cannot cannot sustain what so ever. Likable to in 2006. Called so many assassination a turning point and a new phase the message here may be one of defiance but in reality the u. S. Maximum Pressure Campaign on iran and its allies seems to be already in a new phase. Beirut. Call is a professor of history at university of michigan is the author of several books on islam middle east and u. S. Policy in the region is joining us now from michigan good to have you with us on aljazeera thanks very much indeed i want to ask you 1st of all because there are so many different elements that we could talk about here but let me ask you about this Iraqi Parliamentary vote in practical terms how likely is it that this is going to lead to american bases and foreign troops being forced out of iraq. Well it could could lead to the u. S. Departure from iraq militarily but i would an expected to be immediate the Iraqi Parliament is relatively weak that this is really a resolution that the executive should and should undertake this task and it was passed by a bear or a quorum by a by a bare majority the kurds and the sunni arabs in the Iraqi Parliament just didnt show up for the vote in the hopes i think of denying the quorum to those who supported the measure weve been seeing over the stay in the last few minutes that people both in there in iraq and also in iran have been demanding and the rain in response to the u. S. Actions what form do you think that acts that response is likely to take well i dont think that it will be a conventional military response your own is actually quite weak the u. S. Political establishment and media tend to build it up as a pure rival of the United States which is ridiculous iran has no air force to speak of it has no navy to speak of it doesnt have sophisticated armor and so whatever the iranians to and certainly they will do something in response will be more on the level of covert operations using proxies trying to avoid a clear iranian footprint. Thats just moved very quickly on to the nuclear deal if you dont mind the iranians are saying that theyre theyre taking a step back on moving a stage further back from where they were a few days ago does this mean that the deal is dead. Well the 2015 nuclear deal is in big trouble certainly you know the premise of that deal was that iran. Nuclear Enrichment Program which is a civilian program would be mothballed and then the iranians to dismantle about 80 percent of it in return for which the u. S. And the International Community would take off their severe sanctions on the iranian economy well the truck pulled out and he imposed the most severe sanctions on iran that have ever been imposed on any country in peacetime even to the extent of denying them the ability to export their their petroleum and this is in the absence of any United NationsSecurity Council resolution on the matter so obviously the iranians feel theres not a lot of benefit to them in the steal their upholding their part of it while i would the west is not upholding it so theyve gradually been whittling away at some of the restrictions but theyre still largely inside the deal as we speak they they still will allow United Nations inspectors in and. Theyre still enriching at a relatively low level but but incrementally theyre whittling away at their obligations professor cole its always good to get your views in these kind of things thank you very much indeed thank you rob well people around the world have been reacting to sort of moneys kenning Victoria Gate and be has been monitoring social media websites to find out more about what people are saying. Just days ago Internet Users across the world were briefly united sharing messages welcoming in the new year but then is news of kassam cinema killing by u. S. Forces break throughout the middle east the reaction started on twitter before the attacks and money was relatively unknown outside the region but google trends show his name reached peak interest within a few hours then as the rest of the world woke up the hash to have world war 3. 00 began to trend globally the story quickly dominated u. S. Social media with people discussing the possible deployment of more u. S. Troops and the fear of being drafted into a war with iran american troops stationed in the middle east try to break the tension by sharing memes on that basis facebook groups in israel ceremonies death was widely celebrated online but pictures of the defaced President Trump mural on the separation wall began to circulate instagram then started hiding posts under the hashtags on the money because it said much of the content did not meet its Community Guidelines but that hasnt stopped raining critics of sulaimani from posting their own work on the platform or his supporters from posting images praising his accomplishments.

To other news now my u. S. Soldier and 2 American Defense contractors were killed after fighters stormed a military base in kenya the attack happened in lamu county and the heavily secured sites known as camp simba these are pictures released by the on Group Showing the predawn attack 2 u. S. Defense Department Officials are among those injured 4 al shabab fighters were killed but the attackers managed to destroy several aircraft and military vehicles from nairobi heres how to much on the many Unanswered Questions surrounding the attack. It was an audacious attack the military base is heavily fortified protective about the king and american troops but al shabaab still managed to break through they destroyed the military planes and infrastructure on the base is a very volatile is an area called borneo forest and over the years the Kenyan Defense force theyve been going in and out of the forest trying to flush out al shabaab fighters and theyve been casualties on both sides on thursday a passenger bus was attacked along the road in the county area alshabaab fighters they shot at the bus and 3 people were killed just last week in somalia a truck bomb went off killing dozens of people in the capital mogadishu there are concerns that alshabaab is gaining more and more prominence in this particular week and theyve attacked king in the past they have attacked again the and also somalia over the weekend as well a few days ago there was an air strike in somalia with the u. S. Army bomb some places in somalia trying to flush al shabaab out they say they killed some senior officials by no names or given so people on the ground are now asking how did manage to break through this base which is heavily fortified in alarm and questions are being asked on the ground what security measures does kenya have in place to make an attack like this doesnt happen again jamal is also known as a somali british journalist whos reported extensively on al shabaab is joining us over skype from london thank you very much indeed for your time. There was sitting there the key question is obviously how al shabaab was able to break through the security on this site what do you think is giving al shabaab the confidence to be able to carry out an attack like this. I think ill shut up i have been attacking in kenya for the past few were few years since the kenyan army went into somalia and i remember in 2015 after the westgate attack i went to report from their territories and i saw around 300 newly recruited kenyan fighters who joined us about so. They are not probably using the typical suspects who are somalis but they have hundreds of caney and fighters kenyan born who know the territory who are from the area who are easily able to just walk and go anywhere whats prompting the increase in the number of attacks that alshabaab is carrying out over the last few weeks. I think that in recent weeks or months there have been talks of governments have been saying thats about half the in we can also bob hope longest trond theyre not capable to carry out the attacks or whenever such statements or quotes are released usually back and say were here were still a strong were able to up park anywhere at will so that is one reason but i think more importantly of todays attack i think because there was an a park about a week ago in which about 100 people were killed in mogadishu in which i was about released a state odio statement which they dont usually do for. Sort of apologizing the death of civilians and saying we we were trying to target foreigners i think this was to say to the Somali People look were not just killing somalis were targeting foreigners and remember American Drones are hitting somalia on a regular basis so i think this was to send a message to the Somali People to say were not targeting civilians we are targeting foreign militaries and we are fighting on your behalf how much pressure is this going to put on the government given the fact that the threat level from our shabaab was already high and one would assume that there were some significant security processes in place to try to avoid this kind of attack which clearly failed in this case and as we mentioned foreigners were attacks in this case. The kenyan government as well as the Somali Government have been powerless to stop al shabaab you know what theyre good at which is agreed sort of topics they dont fight conventional armies so they take advantage of their knowledge and their fighters and carry out these attacks so i think. Kenyans have been saying we are fighting up shut up but we havent managed to stop to stop al shabaab in somalia the government is very weak its powerless theres a lot of infighting within politicians so their primary focus in fact its not even to a collapsible but its within sort of fighting among the Political ClassJamal Simmons we appreciate your time thank you very much well there were chaotic scenes inside and outside Venezuelas National Assembly as dissident opposition politician louis prada declared himself head of Congress Opposition leader one quite though was expected to be reelected to the role on sunday but he and other opposition members were blocked from entering the building by police quite who has accused nick has made those Ruling Socialist Party of offering politicians suitcases of cash to vote against his 2nd term until now the National Assembly has only been the only branch of government in opposition control you know im going to be the dictatorship is blocking the National Assembly biz and the free press we will do everything necessary to ensure that our constitutional mandate is to speak to. Our like america editor lucy is new newman is joining us live from caracas i was watching some of they have pictures that weve seen throughout the course of the last few hours and this is an extraordinary story in the city of playing out in front of the cameras give us an indication of whats happening right now. Yes extraordinary is almost an understatement right now we are actually the nasional newspaper and which is no longer printing its only online and its being used as a makeshift version of the National Assembly inside are there more than 100. 00 opposition deputies who have just voted for the law to have another term as the president of the National Assembly and also to be the interim president of venezuela now how did this happen it happened because the official session at the National Assembly building which should have taken place early this morning turned into absolute mayhem and chaos as members of the opposition that in the lawmakers were not allowed in some were little by little drips and drabs while the progovernment deputies were there and a handful of others who have turned on weigel one of them is luis he was accused along with 4 others of being involved in a scandal a Corruption Scandal he was expelled from one of the main opposition parties and was about and is being investigated so he has now seen turned against wigle and has just been sworn in or was sworn in rather in a very very unofficial impromptu vote in which people just raised their hands nobody counted the votes nobody know how many voted for him but in the meantime while i was trying to make it into the National Assembly he tried to crawl or rather to jump over a very very high metal piece of fence was bikes and was pushed down by the National Guard on both sides of the fence so eventually that was not able to happen and they all came to where we are right now and held their own session what does this mean that means that right now there are theoretically 2 president s of the National Assembly some which are clearly favoring the government and others which continue to be in the opposition and which have the support of many western countries and latin american countries around the world and the sea or what is nicholas producing to all of this and given the chaos that were seeing on the screens now is any of this likely to strengthen his position of using. Thats a very good question some people the common wisdom was that what really what it would strengthen the president my littles position was to just keep things as they were to allow god to be reelected as the president of the National Assembly which hasnt been able to unseat him which hasnt been able to do much and hes been losing Popular Support because of that and have been divisions within the opposition but now this is clearly going to rekindle the conflict this is a high stakes bet its going to increase certainly the pressure from the International Community which has had basically been was at a standstill over the last couple of months and so what is going to happen now is anybodys guess but it is clearly going to increase the tensions in this already chaotic country this is things very much will be going on the speaking remember that israel has the highest inflation rate in the world my apologies for interrupting you lucy i apologize thank you very much indeed and soon human there from caracas.

But now facing criticism from the sikh faith salie senior figure head priest gear and he heard pleats singh who was muslims to be included in the citizenship law the Akali Dal Party chief has done a complete u.

And has to sell them back in china for a profit now locals here dislike this practice because they say causes them difficulties sometimes shortages of goods and also drives up the price of goods now people here say they dont like the practice of parallel trading because it they believe its something that benefits mainly mainland chinese trade as rather than the people here but its this protest is also an example of how the local issue is being used by prodemocracy protesters to highlight the wider unhappiness they feel against the Hong Kong Government and protests in hong kong have been going on for 7 months now entering into the 8th month and really this turnout and this demonstration just highlights how the antigovernment sentiment isnt going anywhere.
