walls of shame on al-jazeera. security forces hunt for gunmen who stormed a government building in iraq's kurdish region. hello i'm adrian for the game this is our zero live from doha also coming up donald trump issues an angry warning to iran never ever threaten the u.s. again. the china child vaccine scandal premier league warns of severe punishment for companies that make substandard drugs for children. and bringing an end to the conflicts in the south philippine president rodrigo to turkey outlines plans to make peace with mindanao as muslim community.

to come and have stormed the building of the kurdish regional government in a bill in northern iraq one security officer has been wounded the deputy governor said that security forces have now entered the building and are looking for the attackers let's go live out of baghdad at al-jazeera iran con iran what's the latest. well the attack began around seven am local time before office hours two gunman fought their way into the building wounding a security called they then went up to the third floor of the old deal governor a building started shooting out of the window is that that stage the a bill security forces cordoned off the perimeter and in the last two hours have gone inside and what they doing is they going from room to room looking for the silence now the gunman haven't made any demands as of yet certainly we don't know why they attacked this building or bills actually been insulated from the kind of

violence we've seen in other parts of the country the last big attack in irbil was in two thousand and fifteen when a bomb exploded outside of the u.s. consulate so questions are already being also is who are these people and how were they able to enter one of the most secure buildings in erbil now according to local sources on the ground the situation is under control and the army or the security forces all inside the building like i say going room to room but we don't know who these gunmen are at the moment yet but you say you don't know who they might be let's let's just speculate for a moment who might be what groups are active still in iraq who could they be. well the mayor of erbil says these gunman are linked to i saw where he's getting that information from we don't know but certainly he's been very vocal about this is this an isolated hack it may well be the kind of thing that they have done in other countries in the past of attack government buildings before however because

it's to government it may well be that it's to do something internally within the kurdish region itself the it certainly attacking the governor building is a bold move so we don't know who they all like i say the mayor of a bill is blaming eisel it could well be but we don't know where he's getting that information from. gameroom for the moment but he thinks he does zeroes in on call that life in fact that iran has condemned the tweet by u.s. president donald trump calling it a passive reaction to comments by iran's president hassan rouhani had warned that conflict with iran would be the mother of all wars it prompted an angry response from the white house in the tweet trump says to iranian president rouhani never ever threaten the united states again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before we are no longer a country that will stand your demented woods of violence and death be cautious his

secretary of state earlier warned iran that its exports will be squeezed in the next few months like pump a zero says the u.s. wants all buyers to stop importing iranian oil by november and he's called on u.s. allies to put more pressure on. overall it's clear the regimes ideology has led many iranians to be angry they cannot call their homeland a normal country they know that a constitution of the shrine is the export of islamic revolution and the destruction of its neighbors and the restriction of citizenship is not normal ordinary rain or snow that their government torture of its own people is not normal or in multiple rounds of sanctioned by the un security council is not normal inciting chance of death to america and death to israel is not normal being the number one state sponsor of terror is similarly abnormal sometimes it seems the

world has become desensitized to the regimes authoritarianism and home and its campaigns of violence abroad. but the proud iranian people are not staying silent about their governments many abuses and the united states under president trump will not stay silent either. i was zero she had pretends he was following that pompei a speech from washington. in pursuing them all what's on peo is presenting as its support for the iranian people themselves the administration is now going to embark on a huge media campaign within iraq iran bombarding the waves social media the internet television radio telling iranians. the us is a message that there was a movie with them we actually had a reuters report earlier in the day which suggested they're going to keep on attacking the iranian government inside of the administration of the state department seem to be saying to reuters perhaps with exaggeration and distortions saying look this is a very corrupt regime it's

a brutal regime we know your unhappy so that's why we're going to sanction iran we're going to go off to iran massless lee in the international community for your benefit not for us but for you we want you to be free the question of course is given that so many people within the trumpet you know john bolton comes to mind for example drums national security advisor and so often in the possibly said let's just bomb iran them out of the civilian casualty count whether the iranians are going to believe that everything that the trumpet ministration is doing is really on their behalf iran's president warned that hostile policies from the u.s. could have serious consequences but only she did was you know don't play with the lion's tail you will regret it forever you cannot carry out these measures it is out of your capability you cannot force your way needs to act against their own country you have clearly shown you are against the iranian people how much is a professor of political science at teheran university and the head of the u.s. department at the iranian institute for european and american studies he joins us

now live from taft ron what do you make of trump's tweets professor. i mean donald trump has been threatening iran for over a year now so that is nothing new nevertheless what is new is that rouhani for the first time is actually responding iran has actually shown a lot of restraint towards this administration i mean this is an administration that has been very hostile towards iran but it was predictable that this kind of restraint could not go on forever so right now we are seeing a form of escalation in rhetorical and we might see escalation in action as well we're hearing by escalation that action. i mean to trump administration has been trying to reduce iran's oil exports in the oil exports for iran is the lifeline of the economy i mean trying to reduce iranian oil exports is essentially trying to strangle the reigning economy and you cannot it is expect iran to do

nothing if you're strangling the iranian economy then iran will respond in a way that given the parlous state of iran's economy right now current it afford any form of escalation. i don't i don't think iran wants the war in to be frank i don't think the united states wants a all out war either i mean the united states can also not afford a major war with iran nevertheless what is important here is the u.s. administration is trying to say we are supporting ordinary iranians were is in reality the sanctions actually hurt ordinary iranians the most so you cannot on the one hand say that we're against the iranian government while sanctioning the people who are in essentially also we have to consider the fact that rowhani was elected during an election with over seventy percent participation rate and he got almost sixty percent of the vote so whether we like him or not he is the representative of

the iranian people and we cannot essentially put on this face that we're supporting the reigning people but we're against the iranian government you know what are we to make of secretary of state barak prepares comments when he told that audience in california that the iranian people must determine the country's direction of the washington will support the long ignore the voice of the iranian people or the people there make of it. i don't think his words are taking very seriously in iran i they're seen as a form of propaganda like a said the sanctions are hurting ordinary iranians the loss of value of the rain in currency has led to massive inflation which also hurts the reigning people and also the united states has never actually helped the iranian people i mean iran is one of those six visa ban countries which also hurts ordinary iranians trying to go to the united states also this administration and people like bolton as well as rudy

giuliani have become very close to the m e k which is a terrorist organization which is responsible for over ten thousand civilian deaths in iran so this whole issue of supporting the iranian people i don't think it's something serious at all professor good to talk to many thanks indeed professor how it was sorry that. hundreds of thousands of chinese babies may have been given substandard vaccines health regulators found that a drug maker violated safety standards it's the second scandal the hit the company in the past week china's premier says that anyone connected with the low quality of drugs will be severely punished or try to correspond to daydream brown reports from beijing. well the firm in question is one of china's largest pharmaceutical companies chung chung biotechnology it is based in the northeast of the country and it seems that it's been falsifying its test records for the rabies vaccine that it

produces now that vaccine has now been recalled and production at the company has halted to make matters worse just a few days ago this same company was fined over vaccines it produced sub standard vaccines for tetanus hooping cough and diptheria now this of course has caused real outrage on social media and the case is being reported in a very forthright way by state controlled media an editorial in the china daily on monday for instance said the now needs to be a complete overhaul of the pharmaceutical industry here in china because of course this is not an isolated case there have been many scandals involving the pharmaceutical industry during the past decade on sunday night china's premier league released a statement saying those responsible should be punished and he said this case had crossed a moral line but of course we now have a situation in china where millions of parents are now worried that their children

have been given inferior vaccines and they want to know what that's going to mean on social media some people have been posting comments saying things like i don't trust chinese medicine i don't trust chinese vaccines i'll only buy foreign medicines in future so this appears to be a scandal that is not going away in many ways it is growing a weather update next year now to zero then the international court of justice will judge later on the diplomatic dispute between russia and its neighbors. the iceberg in danger of an entire township to report from the remote place in greenland living in fear of a natural one. and it's. for. the weather sponsored catarrh. hello there it's so pretty hot across many parts of europe but we are

a top secret multinational effort helped along by the un their exit was facilitated by israel after requests from the u.s. canada and others its army issued a statement saying it was an exceptional humanitarian gesture canada the u.k. and germany have agreed to resettle them the white helmets were founded in two thousand and fourteen to rescue civilians injured in attacks on rebel held territory the group has been backed by the u.s. and other western countries there was a fear what would happen to them once their area fell under government control but such a deal doesn't apply to the tens of thousands of civilians who fled the fighting and who remain behind closed borders their areas under opposition control for years now back in the hands of the syrian government and one of the latest deals rebels in syria's southwest region of canet there are we should deal with the government on friday buses have been leaving from can answer to northern syria what we are seeing actually in my opinion is bought off the engine mounts would have been agreed between. an international policy in order to clear. the area

below thousands of icebergs the result of the outflow of nearby glass is draining the greenland ice sheet. then the iceberg in question it is huge one hundred meters by three hundred why behind it you can make out the settlement of in austria sprawled off a hillside. on the ground a community of around one hundred seventy people there are families there are children there bread is on the water as they fish and hunt and they used to icebergs drifting by but never this close and never this big. buck by me double normally icebergs are not vast high they're low wide but this one is very high which made it frightening this video shows chunks of ice cascading

into the water causing life threatening waves to crash into the shoreline several homes had to be evacuated there was concern for the villages project or a tree and fuel tanks and boats were dragged up the hillside. we may through out towards the ice but it has now shifted away from the harbor entrance not as dangerous as it was but still presenting a threat it could cause at any time fisherman could isn't has never seen it but this big so close. you can identity kept on it actually came pretty fast in front of the village they saw the danger and so they evacuated some houses and prepared for what could happen between now and then there was a big wind and it blew it outside here like. it's hoped the iceberg will now slowly head out to sea nudged along by wind and current evacuated residents are back in their homes life is beginning to return to normal making the most of the short summer a quiet time for the dogs head of a winter

a sledge pulling they think about how dangerous it is to be here when there's a big iceberg in front of them. and they cannot really sleep because they're kind of expecting that he's going to kill in a minute or an hour so of course they're like they cannot really rest but they won't change their lives for nothing and they want to stay here because of the fishing on foot unities and hunting over the unities all year. so what to make of all this there's no way that you can attribute this iceberg to climate change specifically there's no doubt that there's a growing incidence of ice spread production here in greenland over the last one hundred years and occurrences and threats like this one may continue as time goes on. and add to that the changing sea ice conditions these communities are witnessing it is very apparent that things are shifting here in the arctic where global temperature change is more keenly felt than anywhere else on earth that
