what are the vulgar, brutal militias? i have said before, we need to dissolve these militias. thank you. you're watching, i'll just hit it would been bringing you live coverage of a press conference or the speech that has been made by the iraqi shiite leader mocked out all santa he was saying that to day i am seeing that my head goes down in apology to the iraqi people who are suffering for this rift, he's talking of course, about 2 days of violence that we've seen, but only in baghdad, but which has also been spinning across to other cities across iraq as well. he said the killer and the one who is killed are the same. my cousin, my nation used to he be captivated by a corruption. he said, no, it is captured by violence and corruption. let's go live to mock moved up the walk head who is in baghdad. forest knock wood before we go on to the speech that we've just heard and bring us up to date with the violence and the fighting that's been going on in and around the green zone where you are well, 30 people are dead and 700 others wanted including 110 from the security forces injured according to medical sources of business at the latest figures. this tuition remains very tense. as the confrontations continue in and around the green zone between rival the groups, we have been hurting, get explosions inside the green zone. because this was what the government said. 7 of the rockets have been fired inside the green zone. good, who is still in place with the possible exception of the only a few vehicles just moving around, belonging to this same on groups controlling the idea because the forces belong to the government have been deployed in the area, but the did not engaging in the ongoing humidity confrontations. tell us a little bit about the speech that we just had. it was fairly clear from what i was hearing that the outside was condemning the violence that has been happening over the last couple of days. yes indeed, they're not only condemning but even blaming gear. those who are engaged in the military confrontations in violence on from both sides, including his own support as he literally said that if he is, has been wanting them. if they're not his supporters, if they're not disbanding the sit in and leave the parliament area within 60 minutes, then he will disown them completely. this is the, can you see the level of frustration to level of disappointment that look that a so that has just shown it seen that he is in a state of this illusion meant that he's fed up with the whole a current, a political system. and also the latest incidents, including the violence that has been erupting inside the green zone. he'll so it's rated that those who are engaging in violence at do not belong to to him. he is this owning however a gets into the killing into the military confrontation that is going on inside the green zone. he's been also a, are applauding for those who have been trying to maintain security and re gained the safety of the people inside the degrees on, including those accused of acquiring at des, protested so this is the tone of someone who was trying to keep it because most trying to alleviate the attention that has been resulting in violence and in many killed and wanted inside the greens on markwood for now. thank you very much indeed. markwood abdulla had outside the green zone in baghdad. well, i'll just see it as alec hutchins joining me live now on set. you've covered iraq extensively. you heard that speech. is that gonna be enough? do you think to make the violence deescalate? well, it seems that the sound of this message was conveyed in the way or another, giving his supporters, 16 minutes to withdraw from everywhere as an indication that he wants now to de escalate him as stressing his condemnation, even to his supporters who went towards some of them and maybe others to watch violence is also a stressing get point that he doesn't want to take the situation more, 2 more escalation. ok, this is, this is the status quo now that fit that song. now, once again, he reiterated that he is not into politics. he's all type politics. i quit this is . he repeated several fires now. who is going to talk on his behalf? this is, this is the big question right now. is he completely withdrawing from politics? because this is not the 1st time that looked at the father analysis retirement. he did it on several occasions. he did it in 2007, if i'm not mistaken. he went to iran to continue studies later on. he did it in 2014, i mean, on several occasions he was going in and out. but this time, it was very serious because it came also in a context, in a different context, completely different context given the iraq crisis that we've been witnessing for the last few months since the election. you got the majority in the parliament, not a majority that could make him a form of government, but it may jealousy that with him with him on the top of all the other political movements. so now this is, i think, a message not only to his rivals, but also to, to iran on one side in the event that, that, that to his followers sheet his words and the violence does deescalate what happens next. because if i understand correctly, this is essentially a conflict between 2 rival shy groups, but this is also about how iraq should be run about the politics and the future of politics in iraq. wow. does a situation move forward in the event that they are? the violence does actually deescalate well in case in from now to that 60 minutes. as he said, every one is, is as out of the green zone and things the escalade. there should be right now. links and, and, and channels that are conveying messages from one side, jaw to, to another, and a place where these parties are going to sit and talk. and there is nothing going to happen without a dialog. dialog is right now, this is, this is what, what, what the other feathered was referring to that stalk and the other side, the st. let's look now. he made his case in the street. well, he had the intention to show this or not. this is another issue was he's, was he telling his rivals, deal with it when i'm not in? well, i'm not in the picture. this is also another another issue. what's right now we haven't used take a school, we have a new situation. the parties should talk together. this is, i mean, this is the new way outside this crisis. with regard to the message that you suggested when he was sending not only to his own followers, but the followers of, of particularly that the sheer groups which are backed by iran. how do you think that that is going to be taken by them? well, for now a, you know, we need to hear from them because till the moment they were silent on the, and during the past hours, except for a stressing the importance of dialogue and you know, the dead legacy and the legitimacy of the, of the, of the government of the government. now the, the, the next step is going to be meeting him in the middle of the road. and if, if they're, if they are, have the intention to, to, to really engage in a serious, diana, then they'd have to meet him in the middle of the road. and then things will still be taking from there. and i'm, i'm quite a, with an analysis, you know, i'm just analyzing now that there are already channels activated whether it's diana channels or channels. i mean, through some of those who can influence the decision, whether it's, you know, a regional channels such as iran or may be local channels and journal channels through some very or well respected personalities in the, in the country. whether it's she it, whether it is she or personally, these are characters or may be sunni and curse. ali for now. thank you very much. indeed. i out as it is alley hush. i'm talking to us there. i want to bring in it says r g. i, he's a fellow at century international, he's joining us from baghdad. thank you very much indeed for being there with us. let's talk about the political process, the fundamental, if i understand it correctly. one of the fundamental elements of this is the way that iraq should be governed in the future. what is the possibility that's given the fact that iraq has not been able to form a government and that is facing an economic crisis. it has been for a very long time. what is the possibility that politicians are actually going to be prepared to unpick the system that they have and try to find an alternative? why the unlikely and what's the source of this violence? my son does not want to form a government with his opponents and why rules his opponents and rivals do not want to change the system that they've had in place for many years now. and that has been interested parties, and they fear the retribution for most of those followers, but also from others who have been so disillusioned with the system since 2003 what they will do if they come to. and so where we are at this moment in time, now decide is wanting to compromise and that's why it's going into the level of ones. so species oversee taking some responsibility for that, and he's disappointed that he's on foreigners, his own movements have engaged in math. but still it doesn't sound like there's a way out of this phone in time. as i'm speaking to right now, i can hear the sounds of rocket via so even off to the speech, even on this deadline, he's getting his followers. and i'm the opposing side are still engaged about when, unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a very clear way off at this point in time. if there was a way of actually finding a solution, do you have any idea what that could be looking at the broader picture within iraq? so one way that's talked about is just quote unquote fresh elections, just dissolving on them. and to get me asking the courts to on that and allowing frustrations to go ahead, but they would still take over year to organize, in my opinion. the other option would be for us to compromise and allow the formation of a coalition government. but it doesn't seem like he's willing to bet. the 3rd option is to let the suntrust form of government and the other side remain in parliament. but again, it up until now we see and yeah, i for that. so at the moment we don't really have very clear picture of what's going to happen the next few weeks. and once there is, of course, as i the house was just mentioning that i looked outside, it has given his support is about 60 minutes in which to leave the area around the green zone in baghdad. do you think that that is likely given the level of intensity of violence that we've seen over the lot certainly over the last few hours. well, i would be surprised if the one that stops within the next 60 minutes. as i says, i'm speaking to you now, i can still it sounds of explosion and the fact that it's not just in baghdad, it's of course, several provinces. you've had over 2 dozen people killed already, several offices of each side that have been effective. but i'll be very surprised if somebody will, that comes to stop and track some of these sort of old rivalries and divisions. some of this is in revengeful, pos killings. and actions, and therefore even though the what's the phone caraway, i'm ok support is. this still could be extra retribution for many more days. i want to ask you about the role of 1st of all, how to meet the prime minister at the moment to some degree it has so far appeared to be restrained. what do you think his tactic is with this? well, in his defense, he probably wants to avoid escalating the situation. he's on the street, of course is not to fight back when fight upon to avoid killing protesters or even some of those who armed and transfer into the green zone. that's his perspective, and it may have led to some of preventing binding from escalating. but also, i think for a lot of citizens looking at this, their discipline to the name of the prime minister in his government. and the fact that he's failed to enforce rule of law since yesterday afternoon until now people be fed right. essentially you the sounds of exposing explosions and shootings. and it seems that the iraqi security forces are just standing by while allow me to fax a lot of and so from, from general rocky perspective, it's really not good enough. and the government doesn't seem to be able to control the situation such as i had thank you very much and he felt about this century international. we appreciate your time and i was, i was thank you very much and i let's go live to mock mood of the walk head, who is in baghdad to forest mac mode. i can see behind you there are lines of people who appear if i've got this right to be coming away from the green zone. tell us what is going on at the moment. yes, indeed. these are supporters of c at lee. that meant that us other carrying gout, his wishes as you know, that in his it, at last his speech, he has more commanded than that of to on what he can to plan. there was no way to pull out from the area. as you can see, this man is speaking arabic, it is that, that we're now carrying galaxy. the command is of a mock. let us other by was the wind from the area from the green zone, including those in the sit in front of the part of that it is this stage id for a month now. so this is a new development. as you can see, lines behind me did, and i was doing a mark that a pulling out there to say that dismantling the tense, that they have set up in front of the, of the parliament. that is photo and gather this crucial a speech by look to the southern himself or after the clash is that the result it in at 30 people dead and 700 other wandered. macro does have any indication of any gun fire or rocket fire equivalent to what we've been hearing over the last few hours. sorry margaret, i don't know if you can hear me, but i was asking you if you were still hearing any gun, fire or rocket far like we've been hearing over the last few hours, i think we've lost our line to buy mach murdock had, who's outside the green zone in the baghdad to the very fluid situation there. as you can imagine, we're going to talk to for hub allied. the alden, the he is the chairman of the iraq advisory council is joining us live from london . so thank you very much. indeed for being with us, given what has happened over the last couple of hours or cup. i'm certainly the last couple of days. the clear dissatisfaction appears to be with the way that iraq has been governed over the last several years. are we seeing a point at which the political system in iraq is reaching a point where it has to change iraqis, though bur for a long time, been debating this bullet to kill sister, man. it's viability. and it's sir, increasingly clear that this system is not gonna work. the constitution was drafted and, and voted upon and 2005 that it is based on her power sharing and power sharing in terms of components. then in terms of each component, that's sharing power within and in that, through all these years, it's proven that this is not the right way to, to govern and given now if the parties and the various sizes of each party is so close to each other, it's very difficult for anyone party to get a clear majority. so you have to end up with the concepts as government. and usually this is a, been a girl with corruption and everything else that these political parties have been dividing the ministries on the spoils of these ministries. for themselves, for their own good. and this has led us to where we are now. we have had seen, similar government says structures in other parts of the world. and when suggestions have been made that they should be unpacked and rebuilt with some other system. those who are benefiting from those systems are very unlikely to be willing to do that. how likely is it you think the iraq can actually move to a different type of political system? it is very difficult there. the constitution is very rigid. unusually, you have any change to the normal change to the constitution requires 3 governors to vote upon or done. this was a safety mechanism, but the kurds insisted on when they voted for the new constitution. so changing it is very difficult. that's why maybe we're locked of a sudden, wanted to do is change the system entirely. and he so that he cannot do it through through the parliament especially that he was blocked to form a government after his winning in the election. he thought that he could do it lucian, but now as being thought to, through the violence and to day he renounced as violence than here announced even those who fought for him. and, and by describing her the dead as they gonna be in hell. ah, so it is, it is, it is clear that there's gonna be difficult and it's, it's unclear. oh, who's gonna take over this, this change? it has to be perhaps within the system, but it's gonna take long time for her aladdin chairman of the iraq advisory council . thank you very much indeed for your time. so thank you. and we'll, i'd get some more perspective. not as aidan i'll honey is a non resident fallow or the arab center washington dc. it says sad as announcement could be an attempt to escape accountability violence carried out by the armed wing of the southwest movement. well, it's not the 1st time the most of the father resides from politics. for the past few months, if we go a few months back, one, the early elections that was scheduled for october 2021. and that did take place. he did claim that he will wake up the elections and not participate in it. and during the process and during that time when other political leaders and they just need their, we're trying to convince him to do participate and those elections. and there are many claims to be elections where it is form for me to look toby just to push for his participation because the political class was concerned about the major timothy of the voter turnout without, without the, the suggest dissipation. and during the very same period, most of the other movement and political committee was preparing and ended up developing a mobile app for the address voters to find their candidates and their neighborhoods . so a resignation from politics is not necessarily something that we will consider to be a permanent decision from the southern. it is also not the 1st time that he claims that he was and make sure that he freezes operations of any association that is affiliated with his movement. and we can see this taking place for the past few hours. which is we are doing office address movement is currency and clashes against other arm doing affiliated with the political parties within the coordination framework. however, there might be a speculation that is spreading that most of a fund that has attempt to announced that he's politically resigning from iraqi politics as an in direct attempt to escape. accountability for whatever i'm doing will be doing. and the next few days still had a knowledge of here and other news packet songs counting the cost of the so called monster monsoon. like government's estimated economic losses of

remote village in chicago district, where people are desperate for help. until the monsoon rains came last week barcode elise was the newest house in the village was never but okay, that a big man and it started raining my neighbors, cynthia children to my house as well because my place was new, it was safe. there was no fear. suddenly at 2 in the morning, there was a loud crash. and the entire

worst effect. this zane basra, the old 0, she car poor since the province pakistan on the 0 to come on. hider is now who is live for us, and no shadow in the chiropractors club proven set. we can see some of the water there behind you and just talk us through what the situation is where you are right now, what you see behind me and the concerns point of to river as you can see from the right it the river car. but that is coming down from the way and then from the knowledge that the river and i can see that line behind me between the 2 water and that showed that 2 rivers merging. however day for the 1st time we have seen the water is receding and old religious ritual completely under water. the people are now let turning to their homes. and i've got to draw it right now, a clean up effort that, that continuing. so there was maybe all was for that high booked on while province . however, all of their body of water which came down from the nod is now heading south. it is going to be a dangerous situation because the river does read it is merging and do is in high florida at several points. and that of gods will be additional rate 2 areas which have already been pulverized by a heavy rain that grounded to re did. so there is no absorption and dug up. got welcome, found the problem in the southern fun job region in the province of sand read all this water is heading. so and an emergency situation emerging death. but for the high brooklyn, while province some relief. as people go back to their home, the structure that badly affected me, god of the water dining. and that of god will mean that many of the structures will no longer be. but at least there was a massive effort by the local administration to get the people out of harm's way. we're also told that the military is still continuing with this helicopter operation in order to get back to it from the north and places like up a swat are to relative safety. so indeed, it's a high sky of relief. sorry, for the people of the high book, the law province, however, dec crops, that guy made the lines, are damaged and it will be difficult for them to blog at need for the next few months because of the heavier nomination of their fees. and kamala, we've been hearing reports that the some sort of aid is beginning to trickle in to pakistan from, of, from foreign countries. is there any indication? and i appreciate that we're only in today that the 1st few days of this is of any indication that any of it is making its way to where you are not yet not grades this fall. and let's not forget because the area in which a was defected are cut off because the highway where it scrapped away the bridges which ripped away. we weren't able to see and flawed the machinery back on the road trying to get an egg going drawer denture, dr. debated on bridges or debate, improvised bridges, why it's such a steel brigade in order to ensure that access is made possible and it did after that that gets applied will be able to reach go daddy, which are affected. so it is going to take some time there will be logistical difficulties, but there's also a lot of question marks because unfortunately, because of the rampant corruption, the way the bridges were buried, they could not last against a flower. then it's quite interesting to note that bridges that will build a 100 years ago during the british colonial period. i still standing, however, many of the bridges that were been recently have been swept away. so they will be question marked as to whether buckets on short now think about doing much more in order to mitigate the effect of bugs, i may change because of thought expected. anyway, they were warning by abs that government and the national disaster management or thought it was not well prepared despite the warning. so indeed focused on we'll have to think very carefully because it was like go ahead august on since it didn't dependence. and it cannot afford. busy another flag like the one we saw, the monsoon is likely to continue the 15th of september. and every one of us here will be hoping that there is no more rain not been now, not on india, which have been inundated in the province of sand and put together li baluchistan. we did that in more province regarding of access that i've gotten had been worked k . so of god did i let him to be learned here that government much pay attention to ensure that they did neighborhood dig mega in order to prevent that. all right, let's go, man, am i dfacs office? i did not come all high to talking to us from chiropractor, unquote provence. come all thank you. ukraine's launched the counter offensive against russian forces in the south and never to retake the castle region. the government says its troops are broken through russian defences on the front line, forcing units to retreat. but russia says the assault failed and that ukraine suffered heavy losses. thousands of people have been leading cason to escape the fighting. traceable has more from cave. well ukraine, the operation on command south which handles a lot of the military announcements happening in this country said that they carried out 3 different
