driver has more. in a pre-dawn attack six mid range iranian missiles cleared iraqi airspace to hit a target in eastern syria nearly six hundred kilometers away. seven unmanned drones then dropped bombs on the same target iran's revolutionary guard said it was retaliation against those responsible for last week's attack at a military parade. in western iraq gunmen killed at least twenty five people many of them members of the guard the response was a show of such military force it suggested there was a clear target but iran's leaders remain vague about the exact identity of the attackers. if there was supposed to be a public message the i.r.g.c. would have said so in their statement but as it is anywhere in the world any measures taken by

a military or politician carry some messages may be the obvious messages of iran's decisive will to conduct a permanent and serious fight against centers that produce train and equip terrorism at different levels what the i.r.g.c. forces did early this morning was this will in one statement attributed to iran's revolutionary guard the target is said to have been an i sold base which it says has u.s. backing. state t.v. showed a message painted on one of the missiles death to america israel and saudi arabia there is little doubt who leaders in tehran really planned but whether there is some covert american action against iran or not the missile strike was as much about political theater as it was about a military response. and the security of the iranian nation is our red line and we won't compromise on this issue we took. american and arab backed terrorist groups they used bullets we responded with

missiles. and leaders into iran say it's all. the beginning it could have gone differently iran could have conducted a ground campaign in tandem with syrian allies but flying its own missiles through iraqi air space to hit a target inside syria by itself is about sending a message to everyone with a military presence there think twice before threatening iran. the united nation's highest court has rejected a request from bolivia to order chile to negotiate with it over access to the sea but libya's president ever met alice travel to the netherlands to attend the hearing at the international court of justice this country lost its only coastline to chile in a war one hundred thirty five years ago but the court ruled that a treaty in one thousand nine hundred four settled that matter and chile had not made any undertaking to negotiate the call. by too early vote to three find the republican of chile did not undertake

a legal obligation to negotiate his submarine access to the pacific ocean for the nation state of bolivia. i suppose is following this story for us it's incredible isn't it that there is an issue that's literally more than one hundred years old and still unsettled so is this ruling a surprise. well the court's ruling cannot be appealed so it can definitely and this is has caused a lot of disappointment especially in the back where people have gathered outside in the main plaza to watch this ruling. alive and there were hundreds of people all around the country awaiting that this time the hague will be in their favor well that didn't happen there's a completely different scenario happening in chile where the president says that the court's ruling shows their respect for international treaties and it's also the

the hague said that both countries should continue to negotiate and dialogue on good neighbors that that's the priority but this is also a very big blow for bolivia first indigenous president it will not alice who many accuse that when using this whole case to win political capital at home he's running for his fourth term and next year so definitely it in a way it comes as a surprise for most believe that we're hopeful that this time the hague would be on their side but that didn't happen and it is i mean you mentioned that the court says it's a two should negotiate is good neighbors but is there any kind of framework for that is that a realistic proposal. while it's not clear yet what will happen from now on a will matter letters that that leave yet will never give up on its claim over at a coastline and that they will continue peacefully fighting for it he said that dialogue right now is

a priority but overall what has happened. to the hague back in two thousand and thirteen in five years that goal and through this period that have managed to in a way to shed light and gain international attention to what they say is one of the biggest challenges they face at that developing nation as one of south america for us countries they say that they lose the billions of dollars every years because they do not have access to see they have to use chilean ports in order to import. or export goods and that's why this is crucial for them however president-elect again pinioned. to have accused able what i have for you think this case politically he also says that the chile will never give up its land and he also accused president then what alice from the terrorist thing the relations between both countries who have not had diplomatic relations since nine hundred seventy eight that is civil with the latest on that story three so i think you must have known as prime minister is to press ahead with

a parliamentary vote on changing the name of his nation to nourse macedonia that's the spy the low turnout in sunday's referendum which wasn't enough to force the issue now he's hoping to end the long running dispute with its southern neighbor greece which has its own region called macedonia so niggle explains. a result marked by change is macedonians who took the time to vote to change the country's name to north macedonia did so by ed landslide enough says prime ministers are as i have to go ahead with a decision yes. i know the opposition and all the citizens know there is and there can be no better agreements with greece there is and they come be no alternative to macedonians membership of need to an e.u. let's not play games with no unity and all must. despite the applause and the defiance the vote was to all intents and purposes a nonstarter only a third of the country's electorate voted meeting the referendum didn't meet the

requirement of a fifty percent turnout many stayed away after nationalists campaigners people to boycott the vote the prime minister as i have says he'll seek parliamentary approval for the name change even though opinion on the street is divided whether for. the referendum was how the people expressed their opinion i think more than six hundred fifty thousand citizens who said they think about joining nato and the european union as enough. campaign that was promoting the yes vote put an emphasis on european values and the european way of life but if we look at the time since prime minister took power the people who promoted this are not true representatives of those values. values that are now at a crossroads yet nationalists and the country's president to fight against the name change that this really is not the only but you know we all are part of some group our language culture and if you lose that then you're worth nothing here and in the

world this was always going to be a contentious vote and ultimately the name change will come down to how much popular will there is for the country to join the european union and nato instead. spanish police have clashed with demonstrators in barcelona on the first sunday. verse three of the catalan independence referendum thousands of people marched through the city which is the capital of the semi autonomous catalan region protesters also staged a sit in at the entrance of the barcelona stock exchange and tried to block roads and railways catalans voted for secession in last year's unofficial referendum which was ruled illegal by the government in madrid the ucas ruling conservative party is holding its annual conference against the backdrop of the ongoing negotiations to leave the european union with the party seemingly in open warfare over its breck's its strategy all sides in the argument on public display and as

lawrence leave reports from the conference in birmingham no one seems willing to compromise. we're told the points abraxas is to make britain grace again restore some rule britannia and victorian global significance first top then the people who say the only way is to jettison entirely the european projects they talk of swashbuckling trade agreements with mexico in china we know there were eighty nine people at their meeting because they voted eighty eight to one to reject the government's plan the british people who voted to leave wanted to have a confident vibrant britain back they knew what leaving new york in union meant and they were relying upon m.p.'s to come back and deliver that deal for them and they haven't done of course they haven't because many of them remain as many of them just didn't have the spirit and will to negotiate strongly with the european up the road the other wing of the party these people traitors to the end see europe brigade are fighting tooth and nail to hold

a new referendum on whatever ends up happening their numbers are growing and no they do not think they're subverting democracy. i believe strongly that we need to seek the informed consent of the people before we proceed with i've just come from a meeting where there was an expert there talking about food access to food food policy food standards i don't remember that being discussed in any detail in the referendum it was sixty and i think if the british public aware of the implications of what we are doing i think they they they may consider. throughout all this the government continues to say it is confidence of its plan. it's now been rejected because of its own policy the european union and a vast majority of voters this surely cannot last off as conference and on wednesday it will be exactly two weeks until the european union needs to decide if

it has any kind of offer from the british that it can go with it isn't even clear it'll be a government in this country then that's alone a coherent plan when the referendum happens believe slogan was about taking back control you couldn't possibly make it up these people are tasked with determining the future of the u.k. the rights of millions of british and european citizens britain's place in the world in or out remain or leave they don't know if they're coming or going something is going to have to give lawrence leigh al-jazeera birmingham a french photographer at the heart of a rape scandal that saw this year's nobel prize for literature of postponed has been handed a two year prison sentence janklow deaf no was found guilty of raping a woman in an apartment in sweden in two thousand and eleven the seventy two year old is married to a member of the academy that awards the nobel prize for literature the crisis also

twenty look at how the search engine which changed the internet impacts our lives. of this week german conglomerate siemens said it's in discussions to help get iraq's power grid up and running iraqis how the elections in may and the country's in the process of forming a new government so the timing is interesting since the defeat of i saw last year there have been widespread protests about the breakdown in public services rebuilding efforts in iraq have been slow it's estimated that one hundred billion dollars is needed for reconstruction in the next ten years iraq's allies pledged thirty billion dollars of the donor conference in february a part of the problem is ensuring the un corrupt use of the country's oil wealth and reconstruction funding nevertheless there has been some progress rob matheson reports now from baghdad on

a railway project underway in fallujah. to shining stretchy west from baghdad. snaking through. the desert for fifty seven kilometers by the other end is the city of accessible once again to rail travelers air assets illusion of em's flew just today is not like foliage in the past the railroad is a sign of life getting back to normal after getting rid of. these whale tracks were closed when i saw fighters swept through the west of iraq in two thousand and fourteen. when iraqi railways reopens the bag that the for lucia line we didn't think of the economic benefit this is a message of peace to the people of illusion after the dark days when i saw used to rule those parts. after the defeat of isobel have been roads that have been open between baghdad but the fact that the security checks on that journey can take anything up to several hours but this train doesn't stop for checkpoints. the

journey between baghdad and fallujah takes just fifty five minutes by railway and the high cost of fuel means traveling by road is more expensive. basic train tickets for a one way journey cost just under two dollars. is nothing but trouble about going by the train is much easier we avoid traffic jams many checkpoints across the highway or even deadly car accidents it's also much cheaper than road transport. when the train arrives in fallujah fifty seven kilometers may not seem far. at this reopened track is a milestone for iraq's railways. but joining me now from london is sean's allow strand is a fellow at kings college and a managing director of carducci consulting good to have you with us so from the protests in the south it looks like a pretty urgent situation how urgent is the electricity crisis from an economic perspective thank you while the electricity crisis in iraq is not one issue that

can be resolved overnight there's a compounding spontaneous issues with electricity except for example if you look at the. the power generation and demand completely at odds with each other especially a peak time if you look at the in the heat of summer for example a month from july there's almost fifty percent shortages in generation two why is that to my why is this such you know why they such odds with each other why is lectures degrade in such a bad shape to start off with in such an oil rich country well other say there's a plenty of issues i mean one of the main issues for me is found that the business model for electricity sector in europe doesn't work it doesn't work for example it's all government owned there's no enough investment coming into the sector and secondly the government who sort of manages the electricity sector doesn't really

collect enough from the consumers when you say you know not enough money is coming in officially forty billion u.s. dollars has been allocated to the power sector over the last what fifteen years where did that money go well if you look at the i mean iraq generally the corruption is sort of eight in the country i live for example if you look at them very good example you mention the protests not only electricity even water hasn't been managed to be provided although despite millions billions of dollars are being spent on the sector to try to revive it because of the the way the bureaucracy works and the. corruption you have this one not believe from the private local small power generator very polluting very noisy in a neighborhood which charge extortionate amounts of money given what you said then can the solution be you know it's been suggested building more siemens power stations for example which can convert or rely on the conversion of flag gas if the

problem is corruption if the problem is much deeper than simply not enough supply of electricity it's waste corruption eccentric store should racketeering doesn't sound like something you can solve with more flare conversion gas stations definitely a lot i think. the recent news about siemens. bring in three hundred thousand bring electricity to three thousand iraqis is a very welcome news the problem is as eventually you can increase. powered power generation but then the demand increase because the consumer doesn't take responsibility at the same time if you know if you're not paying your bills you wouldn't be keepin tabs on how much how much electricity you use so the more you increase generation the consumption grows up and given the iraqi population is growing at a fast rate. this catch up game is just never works i was at an iraqi reconstruction

conference in coate last year where around thirty billion u.s. dollars was committed to help iraq particularly with its infrastructural problems if any of that money actually materializing. not really no i think and that's a testament to itself that investors international community are willing to help investors are willing to invest because iraq as you mentioned there's a huge wealth or oil wealth is coming through especially when now with high all prices however when investors go to iraq and look at the regulatory environment look at the way. how sluggish the bureaucracy is most investors at the end give up i mean for example they are good ideas they are good projects exam this solar which is you know can resolve a lot of the issues especially in the south there is plenty of sun in iraq there's no shortage of it and the peak demand usually in iraq in the summer months in

during the afternoon where the sun is blazing so air conditioning can easily be in a sun can easily be converted to power our air conditioning or our slats thanks very much sean's allow thank you for your a comments on this thank you u.s. president donald trump second round of iran sanctions targeting all exports are due to kick in november and the e.u. has come up with an idea a special purpose vehicle a legal payments tool to help companies continue trading in buying oil from iran russia and china also one pin but it's unclear how it will work shihab rattansi has more from washington d.c. . the e.u. was reported to have been discussing what it calls a special purpose recall for several weeks the e.u. foreign policy chief said it would be going ahead e.u. member states will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with iran and this will allow european companies to continue to trade with iran in accordance with

european union low and could be open to other partners in the what the plans discussed in the past have involved an entity being set up to act as a go between or clearing house which wean iran and other nations to facilitate commercial transactions for example if a country or company wants to buy iranian oil it would send money to or perhaps engage in a barter system involving this entity which will handle the transaction with iran the same were true in reverse for iran's dealings with the rest of the world the idea is to bypass commercial and central banks who are fearful of being frozen out of the us financial system if they help circumvent the new sanctions being imposed by the trumpet ministration against iran in the vendor however the details have yet to be worked out and there is some skepticism that the system will work especially given the large number of european companies already curtailing their business dealings with iran. those meeting at the un also announced that around remained in
