3:15 am
you're watching al-jazeera let's recap the top stories right now egypt's 1st democratically elected president mohamed morsi has collapsed and died while appearing in court gyptian state t.v. says the 67 year old muslim brotherhood leader suffered a heart attack the muslim brotherhood said in a statement that it held current president. and his government responsible for what they call they planned a criminal killing of morsy and his son says egyptian authorities have refused permission for morsy to be buried at the family plot. the u.s. says it's sending about a 1000 extra troops to the middle east the pentagon says it's in response to iran's hostile behavior the announcement comes just hours after the u.s. released military pictures that it says show iranian revolutionary guard removing an unexploded mine from a japanese own vessel it was one of 2 oil tankers where there was an explosion last week and the gulf of oman. more from washington d.c.
3:16 am
. the announcement came from the u.s. acting secretary of defense patrick shanahan in which he said about $1000.00 additional u.s. troops are going to the middle east now he cited recent iranian attacks which he says validates the reliable credible intelligence the us has received on hostile behavior by iranian forces and their proxy groups these additional $1000.00 u.s. troops is an escalation beyond the $1500.00 that were already heading toward that region in recent months accompanied by u.s. warships now on the diplomatic front the white house responding to iran's announcement earlier in the day that it would soon be in breach of the 2015 nuclear accord said that there was a need for greater international pressure as the u.s. forges on work with its maximum pressure campaign against iran since withdrawing from that nuclear chord last year and u.s.
3:17 am
secretary of state has said that all options remain on the table including military responses but as far as the u.s. congress goes that response to run has been much more measured a declaration of war would require congressional approval and it and it is notable in this announcement from the pentagon that these 1000 additional u.s. troops will serve defensive purposes only that the u.s. does not seek conflict with iran regardless congress is is preparing to debate how to make clear to the president that he cannot go to war without iran with iran without congressional approval that debate expected to happen this week or next. david rush is a professor at the national defense university near new university's near east south asia center pardon me sir 1st dick said he's a former director of the arabian peninsula operations at the pentagon and joins us via skype from maryland we appreciate your time very much so this additional
3:18 am
80001000 troops it's not a it's not a huge number but it's not insignificant what do you make of this. well we don't know what exactly the troops are but i think this is designed to be a measured step so what we're seeing is the united states announced $1500.00 troops turned out to be 90600 were staying there then you saw the iranian attack on the tankers so the measured response is a 1000 troops which as you say is a very small number it's telling that we don't know what this is so there was a rocket attack on a u.s. or iraqi base in taji so there could be some sort of anti missile artillery or radar there could be another ship or 2 there could be a u.s. coast guard port detachment or vessel detachment boarding parties but by and large when you look at the overall side of the u.s. military forces this is a very small measure it's designed to send
3:19 am
a message but it's also designed to not this is nowhere near what you'd need for an invasion or a war i think all this talk of a declaration war's kind of premature irrelevant to be honest ok so as to disobey clear at the u.s. obviously has said that this is iran we don't know that yet but that is what they have what they say is the evidence that they're presenting correct so let's just say if this were iran this isn't happening in a vacuum this is happening in the context of this larger maximum pressure campaign as as were comments from the u.s. so if iran did do this big if what what their motive they what what their end game they rather. well whenever iran is pressure they always respond in 3 ways they they try to disrupt so they use their proxies to attack western interests we saw that with the missile attack on tashi with the who's the attack on the civilian airport up which was just condemned by the security council today they tried to disrupt
3:20 am
maritime shipping in a matter that's hard to attribute that's what we've seen here and then they take hostages and they have a number of dual national hostages. nature that they hold so this is well in keeping with the iran playbook and it's consistent with past statements of iranian leaders that if we can't export our oil nobody else will so this is a standard iranian reaction to the sort of maximum crater wasn't this the point of the they nuclear deal is to sort of rein in iran to rein in this this type of thing i mean not specifically this but wasn't too keen on the rod and some sort of check wasn't that the point of the original nuclear agreement and no only well one of the criticisms of the nuclear agreement was that it only dealt with one aspect of iranian model line behavior and that was the nuclear program but the support of proxies the attacks on ship in the development of missiles in effect a nuclear deal gave year on license to continue that activity and the hope was that
3:21 am
as iran saw the benefits of the nuclear deal they would moderate their behavior but unfortunately they just weren't ready to be integrated in the global economy all account when all accounts that iran was complying with the deal. yeah but that's only the nuclear aspects of it they were still you know sending you know brigades of soldiers to fight in syria still supporting hezbollah the missiles that landed at riyadh international airport inspected the wreckage there clearly of iranian origin so there was still a lot of iran this only dealt with one aspect of iran speech havior and that was even the aspect that concerned most of our security partners in the region so the hope was that it would expand but it just never did they think this is going to get the 2 sides back to the table david i don't think so no i think i think that there has to be a little bit more of a confrontation before they're ready to go ok well thank you for your insights very much in a source i'm going to make thank you sara. so side bombers have targeted
3:22 am
a crowd watching a football match on television in northeastern nigeria killing at least 30 people 2 bombers detonated devices in the village of kentucky officials say at least 40 other people were wounded and taken to nearby hospitals there's been no claim of responsibility as has more from nigeria as capital of. the attack happened when a group of young men gathered around television sets watching a football match the 2 suicide bombers a male and female detainees to their devices killing instantly at least 20 people now the death toll has mounted overnight and at least 17 other people have been confirmed to be injured in that attack and many medical workers believe that the figure could rise because of severity of the injuries none of the book was on fox and so so far claimed responsibility but a lot of people including security experts believe that the attack was carried out by the chicago faction the long term leader of boko haram who took over when its

born there was something. you know in the week which is. and for mission that's what i hear the head of the world health organization says efforts to contain the outbreak in democratic republic of congo have been hampered by militia attacks on treatment centers and hostility towards the medical teams so i think the political and security environment is very important otherwise we could have finished it it wouldn't have to contain ones. because in western b.r.c. there was outbreak from last year maybe up to august but it was controlled in 3 months because it was relatively stable. medical scientists are developing more vaccines ready but the challenge for many here is that a lot more of the research is done abroad welcome with a lot of international partners from the north to do our research and we are shipping talk many african countries now are reducing on shipment or specimens or
