warned before that they're illegal presence means they are standing against the iraqi people and the iraqi people have the right to confront them with all types of resistance iraq's prime minister has called the attacks a breach of sovereignty while iran says it terrorism. is part of the popular mobilisation forces who along with the iraqi army helped to defeat our so the u.s. says the strikes were a decisive response to threats by iranian backed forces against american personnel . and unprecedented confrontation between the u.s. and iran on iraqi soil for the 1st time u.s. airstrikes targeting the bases of an iranian backed armed group killing and injuring dozens the operation in response to a series of rockets that struck military bases where u.s. personnel are stationed a u.s. contractor was killed in the most recent attack in care coke what we did was take

a decisive response that makes clear what president trump has said for months and months and months which is that we will not stand for this law of the republic of iran to take actions to put american men and women in jeopardy the type hezbollah is part of the popular mobilization forces a paramilitary group set up to fight i so it's integrated into iraq's armed forces the u.s. has accused some factions in the pm of taking orders from the head on rather than baghdad until recently if the u.s. and the pm are fought side by side against isis following isis territorial defeat 2 years ago the u.s. retained around 5000 troops in country to support iraqi security forces as they search for i saw sleeper cells hiding in deserts one of those clearing operations coincided with the u.s. mission against the type that i know as an air base here in western anbar province is an important launching pad for operations against beisel but the. yes and rocket

attacks against bases where u.s. personnel are stationed including i know last an air base in early december could hamper operations raising fears of a proxy war between the u.s. and iran on iraqi soil in an unusual announcement following the attack the u.s. publicly blamed the type hezbollah the iraqi government hasn't attribute it blame but has tightened security. said the very increased security measures were. cooperation with coalition forces there are surveillance patrols and additional troops to secure the outer perimeter of a search to protect the base investigations are continuing on to know but it's not completed. promises of investigations have done little to reassure the u.s. none of the government's probes into any of the previous rocket attacks have been published the analysts say the details are well known and. i think that the iraqi joint operation command in iraq intelligence as many details about the people who

attacked the k one basing cook iraqi government was confused because the pressure of could keep his blood is deeply entrenched in the iraqi parliament and the iraqi government and that's why they decided to keep in line with iran and the iranian political parties. the iraqi government divided and weekend after 3 months of protests demanding sweeping political change has called on all sides to seize any unilateral actions neither the us nor the appear to be listening both have vowed to take action setting the stage for further escalation simona fulton al jazeera but that gave responders in washington d.c. the national security council says it's going to resign gets relationship with the u.s. led coalition force the u.s. response. well the u.s. certainly hopes that that will not be the case u.s. officials that have given background briefings on monday have not directly

responded to that but they have been saying that this is not an attack on iraq or the iraqi government they say this is definitely a retaliatory strike by the u.s. for what they say are attacks rocket attacks that are coming within iraq from armed groups backed by iran other u.s. officials have said that they have counted as many as 11 rocket attacks from iran back to groups within iraq against iraqi military installations where there are u.s. personnel in recent days one on friday that killed a u.s. contractor and wounded 4 u.s. service members so from the washington perspective from the pentagon from the white house senior officials there saying that these rocket attacks now on sunday were in retaliation to those attacks and that they hope that this deescalate the situation moving forward now there certainly becomes an issue of iraqi sovereignty here

without a doubt but the americans say that they have gone to the iraqis several times and said you must stop these rocket attacks that are on your coming onto your bases that are putting american lives at risk the americans perspective they basically say the iraqis were not able to stop it so the americans said we will and that's what they did or they hope that they're doing with these latest strikes in syria and within iraq and there's talk of new u.n. say u.s. sanctions a big money gets iran any truth in the. yes yes senior state department official did say that the u.s. was going to be strongly considering new sanctions against the iraq in 2020 which is just a couple days from now. but this should not be a surprise the u.s. has by some. between 801000 different sanctions that the u.s. has leveled against iran just since 2017 under the trumpet ministration an incredible

number of the last sanctions by the u.s. were just less than 2 weeks ago against a rainy and judge so sanctions are the critical part of u.s. policy or trumpet ministration policy that they're calling a so-called maximum pressure against iran it starts with sanctions so it's not not surprising that the u.s. is considering more sanctions against iran but it also is with these military strikes as well but the sanctions are really the key part of it you could probably expect more coming up in the coming days perhaps but in summary though there's not a lot more to sanction iran already have already 802-8000 different things sanctioned. revolutionary guard senior government officials and their family members a whole list of sanctions already on iran not much more to sanction but the u.s. certainly keeping that door open gabriels on to thank you very much indeed i said

bagels in tehran he says iran has denied any link to previous strikes against u.s. bases. well iran so far has just responded with words president rouhani was speaking earlier this morning he did address the airstrikes what happened was the foreign office spokesperson issued a statement they condemned the airstrike said it was a manifestation of terrorism they called in the united states to respect iraq's sovereignty independence and territorial integrity they also said that the united states wasn't interested in fighting isis because the positions targeted those groups targeted had caused damage to isis in the past but they also said that these attacks showed negligence on behalf of the united states and they should accept the consequences of that also later on in the day the government spokesman issued a statement and he denied that iran is behind any of the attacks on united states bases and said that these kinds of allegations without evidence are not

a justification for bombing people so the response out of iran has been a bit slow because iraqi groups responding 1st his belied lebannon responded and then we heard something from iran but what will be interesting is how his will respond because and what would united states will do next because the united states has said iran is behind this group they have close links and how how much will it take before the united states turns its attention to iran. well said earlier levy is a senior teaching fellow in the department of politics and international studies at sarah university in london he joins us now thanks for coming interested to go back to these strikes in the 1st place to i mean the u.s. has said they were in response to the killing of a u.s. contractor but it you see it as part of a broader strategic move from from the states are they going to change what they're doing possibly is a part of a broader policy one thing is what is happening on the ground civically in the west asia is also it's to some extent

a symptom of president trans lack of cohesive foreign policy towards the west asia and also the timing of the strikes are very important to don't it's because president trump is facing president presidential election in 2020 and also unprecedented impeachment so in a kind of to some extent from my point of view it may have some domestic purposes for domestic audience except that i suppose in the in the past he's always maintained that he wants to reduce the american presence and reduce involvement in involvement in the middle east so how would that play with that you think well the president trump as i mentioned doesn't have any cohesive foreign policy towards middle east so it's quite fluctuated at some point with drawing from syria and. later on is trying to. conduct some military actions in the region so if it is if

there is an escalation what kind of response do you do you think iran will have to this i mean that there they are acting through these various proxies in the region do you think that they will respond to the to the us extra well this strikes happened in iraq and is defined by states in back that as a violation of iraq's sovereignty and territorial into integrity so i think their response will be more spontaneous and localized by the iraqi government and iraqi forces rather than by. none because still there is no direct conflict between tehran and washington as such and do you think that the u.s. will want to escalate things with iran i mean that they so far you know as you we mentioned in the past various attacks since for instance the saudi oil fields and the attacks on the tankers in the gulf that there was no response from the u.s. this time there has been a response if if that is then reacted to by iran do you think things will escalate well it's already escalated because the strikes is also bringing some high risk for

escalation and is now united says directly in conflict with the shia militias they have a conflict and the clash between united states and the shia forces is not something new to happen from the very beginning after 2003 but they may get more escalated by that miscalculation that happened but as i mentioned is washington may not be very interested in direct conflict but because of the domestic policies and because of the president lection i think president trump is trying to flex its muscles and is showing that he's on top of the foreign policy which 34 years ago. the background of his foreign policy showed that is opposites thank you very much indeed to trannie and have a thank you. russian and iranian foreign minister is a condemning the u.s. military action in iraq and syria so i guess our office has to have a german sorry for the talks in moscow salvaging the 2015 you can deal was also

high on the agenda it is just conflicts across the middle east and so they looking to increase collaboration which could well be cook despite the fact that americans are thousands of miles away from their borders under a pretext of defending their right they have drowned the people of iraq in syria in blood the recent actions by americans in iraq are unacceptable iran and russia put efforts to establish peace both in syria and in iraq the cooperation between our countries within the talks is proof of that. still to come on now to. the growing resurgence of violence in the central african republic we speak to the u.n. peacekeeping forces. a gesture of political goodwill for a jailed catalan leader spain's state attorney recommends his release. and the green football team taking the next big step paul explained.

you know the russian army base in the area our fosters conducting battles. but i don't we don't have enough force there with the need to increase families on both sides are left to mourn their dead and fear more attacks the central african republic a good civil war that started in 2013 and killed thousands of people since then more than a 1000000 of the 5000000 population have been forced from their homes many couplet abroad for now there isn't an easy calm on the streets of benghazi but as everyone here knows it will only take a spark to ignite another wave of killings in a country while warlords control more territory that the government. might increase i'll just buy. pro-democracy activists celebrating

expel 3 bolivian diplomats as part of a tit for tat move it comes after bolivia's interim president asked to spanish diplomats and the mexican ambassador to leave the country janine years has criticized mexico after it granted asylum to form a bolivian president evo morales and some of his aides and yes has also accused spain of trying to help around as its allies. drive home is live for us in mexico city so what's happening right now in this diplomatic spat. well the last thing that's happened is that the mets can interior minister olga sciences has just come out and said they're not going to do the same in spain they're not going to kick out the bolivian ambassador from mexico she said that the . embassy in believe is going to continue to keep working and to try and sort of damp down the tensions basically and those tensions as you said they really began when everywhere i was got on a plane bound for mexico in exile from bolivia and then once he got to mexico was

allowed to speak freely to the press about what had happened and bolivia's interim government who are very anti evermore rallies thought that that was unfair and a gates diplomatic conventions now inside of the mexican embassy in bolivia there's also 9 people some of them a 2 x. president ever moralism that's also been a big bone of contention between the 2 countries to the point where not just police but also protesters that again are against every moral is have been outside of that embassy and just checking all of the cars going in and out quite aggressively to check those people don't escape from the embassy and out of the country presumably and that's exactly what caused all of this on friday an informal visit from 2 spanish diplomats with their security teams the people outside the embassy got suspicious that there might be so that these people could get out of the embassy

and that then led on to the bolivian government saying that these 2 spanish diplomats were no longer welcome in the country and they should get out before 72 hours the spanish government obviously says that they see this as a hostile gesture that there's no truth to toll in this and that they want a friendly relationship with bolivia but they've obviously reacted by upping the ante a little bit and kicking out 3 diplomats so this is a bit of a spot and it's hard to tell really if there was anything at all at the start of it or if this was just an informal visit from one diplomatic mission to another. jarman thank you very much indeed the state of emergency has been declared in areas of northern peru after strong floods and heavy rains lashed the region cars and belongings were swept away in the deluge of homes have been destroyed and roads cut

nation's experience with separatist sentiment the state attorney is certainly not recommending that this supremum court in spain releases oriel from the keris forever that he is now absolved of all wrongdoing but it is saying that he should be let out of prison to go to brussels to take up his position as an m p it's also asking that the european union essentially remove his diplomatic immunity his immunity as an m.e.p. . is doing all of this because the top court in the european union the court of justice for the you said that that is what should happen but there is a party political context to all of this and that is that spends out to elections this year that have been basically inconclusive the socialists have won but not with the majority so at the moment they're doing lots of horse trading and trying

to build a coalition one of the parties that they're talking to these the cattle and separate his party that can carry us is their leader also this is being seen in spain as a kind of goodwill gesture to try and help the socialists form that coalition government at the same time as looking like everything is being done in accordance with the letter of european law. al-jazeera has obtained harrying new testimony from people who were detained in internment camps in china activists say more than 2000000 people have been held in jiang province most of them weak and muslims but there are also other minority groups such as ethnic kazakhs. admit some of the. stans largest city. or in mexico as the guards tortured him for fun he is one of thousands of ethnic cuz it's who've been held in china's internment camps in the northwestern singeing region he claims he was forced to take medicines and
