Good to be back together again good to be back we begin with developing tensions between the United States and iran after the american air strike that killed irans most powerful general three days of mourning for the military leader coming to a close now as calls increase for u. S. Military to leave the region nbcs reporte nbc joreporter joining us with e latest were seeing tens of thousands to pay tribute to this general. Thats right. Iran is in mourning. Today this hometown had a bureaual ceremonyand as you mentioned with tens of thousands, this after formal funeral where hundreds of thousands possibly a Million People turned out into the streets where we saw Supreme Leader khamenei crying, sobbing, gnashing of teeth, displays of sorrow we have not often seen in iran it shows a level of reverence for general soleimani. The killing bringing together groups of people to get together throughout the region making it difficult for the United States military to maintain a footprint in the region as the Iraqi Parliament has voted provisionally to remove u. S. Troops from the area shocking considering how u. S. Has supported iraq military and how much iran always wanted the u. S. Military to leave all right thanks for the very latest from that very tense area in beirut thank you. Meantime President Trump continues to defend his decision to kill irans top general and hes not backed down to target 52 irancultural sites, getting push back as democrats in congress limiting president s war powers what is the pentagon saying about these threats against cultural sites. Not the same thing as President Trump, that is certainly drawing a lot of attention. Defense secretary is now confirming that cultural sites are not targets of the United States in this conflict with iran, saying that they have ruled that out, confirming it would be a war crime for the United States to hit these cultural sites and they have no plans to do so, despite President Trump mentioning when he tweeted about our possible response to iran meantime, democrats are urging the president , in fact demanding that he declassify the intelligence that led him to push for that strike that killed irans top military leader the American People need clarity that the Trump Administration has a plan , not just a tweet, a plan unfortunately in this toxic, political environment some of our colleagues rush to blame our own government before even knowing the facts. Congress needs clarity too. Lawmakers expected to get a briefing on some of that intelligence tomorrow. Some of it the Administration Says will not be revealed, at least not publicly because it will put American Assets at risk. Tracy, thank you. Tensions with tehran intensify and thousands of troops deploying to the region as they realize the consequence of this situation. At fort brag with the latest.

Im just in panic mode Natasha Martinez whose husband deemployed five time now offering baby sitting to that group. Your advice definitely reach out. Were here for each other and we have to use that. Adding to the familys angst the soldiers are not allowed to tell their loved one in the states where they are.

The Trump Administration has announced a expansion to a Bilateral Agreement to discourage migrants to seek protections to the United States, and u. S. Could begin deporting certain u. S. Asylum seekers to guatemala, the deal signed in july to initial accept those from el salvador and honduras the plan to be implemented later this month. President Trump Former National Security advisor john bolton is willing to testify but theres a catch, nbcs reportert with that catch. John bolton changing course, writing, i am prepared to testify if subpoenaed by the senate, a major shift for the president s former National Security advisor who refused to give testimony to House Democrats and seen as a key witness to democrats case that President Trump was pressuring ukraine to joe biden saying validates House SpeakerNancy Pelosis decision to delay sending to the senate. But republicans who control the senate say the senates role is not to launch another investigation and that democrats delay shows they have a weak case they cannot defend. My goal is to start this trial in the next coming days, not let nancy pelosi take over the senate. The trials delay angering President Trump. So sad for our country, our country is doing so good but our Team Spending time on this stuff found nothing. Four of the republican senators would need to vote with democrats to call bolton as a witness. Boltons testimony could influence the moderate republicans if the information he has is compelling enough. Late yesterday republican senators mitt romney says he will love to hear from bolton but of course still no word from house speak ernancy pelosi when those impeachment articles will come over to the senate. Thank you. Now months unprecedented fires in australia triggered rare weather phenomena spotting things like ember attacks and firedriven thunderstorms. With more than 130 fires burning across the country we spoke to those on the front lines. Cool weather and rain bringing some relief but not nearly enough to stop this the sky so thick with smoke this is what pilot saw this weekend when trying to evacuate people from areas cut off by flames with dozens of fires on control more help is on the way, including dozens of american firefighters the first Group Volunteering at the front line and control centers. These among the experienced americans who came last month. The scale of the devastation staggering at least 25 people dead. Estimated half billion animals effected.
