would pull his forces out of the country because i still had been defeated that the armed groups said it was behind the attack. on its. blood on the streets a popular restaurant blown apart american helicopters rushing to help the wounded and remove the dead in the city of men bitch the u.s. military confirming on twitter that u.s. service members were killed the islamic state of iraq in the levant says they are responsible and that they were targeting the coalition of u.s. senator lindsey graham directly blamed the attack on president donald trump's promise to pull u.s. troops out quickly my concern about the statements made by president trump is that you'd set in motion enthusiasm by the enemy we're fighting you make people who are trying to kill wonder about us and as they get older the people we're trying to help are going to going to get more uncertain saw this in iraq. i'm

now seeing it in syria he urged the president to reconsider but that seems unlikely because just after the attack the vice president made this claim we're bringing our troops home the caliphate has crumbled and isis has been defeated. one of the leaders who most clearly does not want to see the u.s. president change course the president of turkey who weighed in the. i.r.s. has claimed the responsibility for the attack and this may mean to affect the decision that mr trump has taken but as i know mr trump's determination about this issue i do not think he will step back against this kind of a terrorist attack. donald trump has been criticized by both parties for his decision to withdraw u.s. troops his secretary of defense quit in protest now his claim that i still has been defeated will be openly questioned after this attack but he's still not showing any signs he will reconsider political hay al-jazeera washington well in all the news

welcome back a quick look at the top stories the u.k.'s prime minister has started holding talks with other party leaders about how to reach an agreement on bikes it often already winning a vote of no confidence in parliament the deal to resume had agreed with the e.u. was voted down of well mainly by m.p.'s on tuesday four americans including two soldiers are among at least fifteen people who have been killed by a bomb the number to northern syria it comes weeks after president trump said he would pull his forces out of the country. when the stories are watching closely kenya's red cross says fifty people believed to have been in a nairobi hotel complex when it was attacked on choose day one main unaccounted for at least twenty one people were killed and hundreds were forced to flee journey in the bomb and gun attack catherine sawyer has more from nairobi. outside this morgue

in nairobi and she's family members and colleagues wait for news some of that that . now this ovah details of what happened inside the dusit hotel complex are beginning to a macho surveillance cameras kept. at the beginnings of the attack when heavily armed men walked into the upmarket complex shooting from all over the place employees are running all over the place he was screaming for point to realize that the best thing to do is to find a service place to hide. for hours afterwards terrified workers and clients barricaded themselves in as gunfire and explosions rang out. some people are still missing hundreds of others were taken to safety you know peroration that lasted through tuesday night we go out to say for the record ever

question but they make a big mistake because it was not sick who we go and sup to ship to us kenya's president has about to bring those responsible to justice we are a country governed by laws rules and regulations a country that embraces peaceful coexistence we believe in these principles and values. even in the face of adversity i must also state that we are also a nation that never forgets those who hurt our children police have started investigating they want to find out how the attack was planned how the gunman got hero who was a canyon's of a foreign is who are their friends who helped them where was their attack plan and

all this are questions that many kenyans want to quit consistent. al-shabaab has in the past the attacks are real response to kenya sending troops to somalia as part of a un backed international force this attack comes of the third anniversary of the killing by al shabaab of more than one hundred kenyan soldiers on a military base in thousand somalia. this must have been a. park that was sleep in. in the country and was just activated for two reasons one of course al shabaab was commemorating the. and secondly it was announcing that it is still there it is still irrelevant and it's too. late for the hotel is now a crime scene and the city is mourning once more. catherine soil to zero. zero u.k. the government in greece has also won a confidence motion but just by one vote prime minister alexis tsipras called the

vote after his government lost its parliamentary majority on sunday and his main coalition partner walked out when john psaropoulos is following events for is in athens so he won by one vote the greek prime minister has only just scraped by by the skin of his taste does this mean that his government is any more stable than it was before even if he has survived. it is because in the greek constitution you can't have a vote of confidence more often than once every six months so this effectively sees mr t. put us through to october almost until october when he is due to hold another general election and that will be the fulfillment of his four year term of course the reason he wants to remain in power until then is to pass his signature legislation the ratification of the macedonia name change deal which would see greece recognizing its northern neighbor as north macedonia and lifting its veto on that

country joining the european union and nato and hopefully encouraging other former yugoslav republic to speed up the pace of reform in order to achieve the same goal themselves so it's a matter of international importance for greece and for north macedonia which understandably both russia and the united states have taken an interest in the prime minister defended his agreement staunchly against withering criticism from the opposition which said that even though you stipulated that the identity and culture and history of greece's northern region of macedonia separate from the slavic history of the republic of north macedonia you did not protect our identity enough because you've allowed those people to call themselves macedonian citizens so mr read out a diplomatic communique from the government of the former yugoslav must india which

says that the nationality macedonian nationality. is exclusively to citizenship not to. not to ethnicity in other words it's not inventing a macedonian ethnicity which might then imply. ancient greek heritage and roots which which is what the greeks are worried about. and he has the greasers neighbor has now definitively put this to rest and people shouldn't worry about it so he's scraped through the vote of confidence which was triggered by the announcement of this deal and now he has to get the deal ratified in the greek parliament. not all the v.m.p. to support the government this time around so they support this agreement with north macedonia and very much a road of coalition banking appreciate it john psaropoulos there for us in athens well now to zimbabwe where more than six hundred people have been arrested in a crackdown on nationwide protests over
