who is in washington d.c. as you might were hearing about those thousands of u.s. troops being sent to the region tell us more about that and also this warning from some iraqi militia about the potential. their iraqi counterparts stay away from u.s. bases. well this has been a gradual process in a way the deployment of troops there was an initial deployment announced and triggered following the demonstrations outside the baghdad embassy that was some 100 soldiers rate rising to 750 and then in a 3rd deployment about a 1000 more but now in the last 24 hours it's been announced at another some 4 and a half 1000 troops are going to be traveling into the middle east they all from the 82nd airborne rapid response division and they will be flying in an ongoing basis there are some on the ground already there are still some deploying from the united states so certainly it's a significant uptick in the number of u.s.

troops being stationed in the area particularly given the fact that president trump had for a long period of time being insistent on reducing the number of troops in conflict zones around the world and also questions still being asked out there about whether the trumpet mr asian had the legal authority to carry out the strike. very much sir particularly from democrats in congress who are questioning whether or not the president required congregational authority before proceeding with such an action now the trumpet ministration is basically on a campaign to justify this decision arguing basically that there was a clear and present danger that it was an act of self-defense that's according to secretary of state mike palm pale but there has been ridiculous limits to the arguments for justification of the strike and none more so than the vice president mike pence who's tweeted out that custom salute maney was in some way responsible

for the 911 attacks the vice president 1st of all gets the number of attackers incorrect in his tweet secondly he says there. are some who say need to move them through of gunnies stan clearly this is completely incorrect and yet the vice president tweets this out of the tweet remains that has not been removed and this is just a sign of how insistent and how eager the trumpet ministration is to find some kind of justification for this attack in the face of criticism not only internationally but also from some members of congress within the united states mike hanna thank you very much indeed. the iranian president has warned that the u.s. will pay for years to come for assassinating its most revered military commander across iran they have been emotional scenes as the nation bids farewell to custom ceremony who wasn't just held in high esteem by iran's leaders but also by much of the population from tehran also barry has more. from. a friend for

housing associations to support the pro establishments party and since 2010 the liaison office has often been a target for pro-democracy protesters now as to what sort of practical impact it will have on hong kong politically it might be a little bit too thin to tell we don't really know yet whether the signals that china is going to adopt a more hardline stance when it comes to its treatment of the anti government protests in hong kong but what's interesting to note is the timing now the this reshuffle the 1st major reshuffle since the protests began 7 months ago comes 6 weeks after a probe candidate suffered a humiliating defeat at local district council elections so while it may be a little bit too foon to tell whether this signals how china is going to be handling the protests in hong kong we know that the interest the timing of this is

hello chua picture across much of your the spend your clowder and some fog in the morning hours but for the most part it is staying mild and fairly clear and i was look at the system through the eastern end of the med but nowhere near as strong certainly on sunday want to work the way across greece pushing on to the turkey and we have snow as well across much of the balkans but really we're watching this system out across the northwest because this is beginning to work its way across towards you can slightly by monday pushes in through some strong winds as well as some very heavy amounts of rain that will push across into scotland and wales and western sections of england as we go through the day but really the bulk of europe certainly on monday it is a fine day temperatures on too bad even in london with that rain pushing in we've got 8 celsius 7 in paris 11 degrees in madrid but really it is a very unsettled picture monday across much of that rain back in the fall call some strong gusty winds along coastal areas and some fairly widespread snow as well

we've also got want to show these northern coastal areas of africa as we go through sunday because if you shot. and then really from sunday on into monday everything shifts east wood so again a few more shots certainly through libya and egypt as we go through the day on monday. no there's no to. a compelling film about getting an education under occupation. that is once the been of that i looked at it us us if you don't feel sick you will don't come frankly we don't feel secure but we come. but what happened after the cameras left rewind learning to die on al-jazeera. there is no channel that covers world news like we do as

a roving correspondent i am told simply on the go covering topics from politics to conflicts to the far mental it's the counted like nothing you've ever. cared for but we want to know how these things affect people we revisit places even when they're no traction headline. al-jazeera really invested us that's a privilege as a journalist. slogan reminder the top stories here now jazeera reports are coming in of multiple attacks across iraq just a day after the assassination of one of iran's top commanders money in a u.s.

air strike diplomatic efforts are underway in iran to try to resolve the growing crisis. libyan medical sources say at least 20 students at a military academy in tripoli have been killed by forces loyal to the lord honey for hotter. and hot and windy weather continues to fuel unprecedented bushfires across australia in 150 fires burning in new south wales alone a dozen of which are out of control. returning to our top story the crisis caused by this s. nation of one of iran's top military commanders phyllis bennis is a fellow at the institute for policy studies in washington d.c. she joins me from there now thanks very much for being with us so already there are reports of attacks happening in iraq and this warning from the hizbollah brigades to iraqi forces to stay away from u.s. bases aside from the extra u.s. troops that the u.s. is sending in how much preparedness is there for what week retaliatory attacks that we can expect. well i don't think we really know yet what kind of attacks there is

going to be sending now we're hearing numbers up to 4000 new troops are going to be sent in that's not going to help that's not going to change the situation that just means more people are at risk of being killed more iraqis in particular but i think that what we're seeing now is the response we have to recognize that it was not only generals through the money the iranian leader who was killed but also a key leader of at least one of the major iran backed but iraqi. militias that's operating in iraq and the supporters of that militia are outraged understandably about the killing of their leader it's not at all clear whether iran has anything to do with these attacks that are underway whether they're being carried out by one or another of the militias it's not clear that iran can actually hold them back if they choose to move there in their own country they have their own weaponry and the fact that they've been developing ties with iran have gotten

weapons and support from iran doesn't mean that iran this is he really controls what they do so the diplomacy is going to be very very difficult here because we have to realize that it's not only iran and the iranian government that has been the target of this attack but there's also iraqi forces that have been the target as well and in the context of the massive upheaval that's been going on in iraq for the last several months since the since early october with massive protests on a daily basis targeting both u.s. and iranian interference as it's seen by many in iraq it's a very complicated set of diplomatic realities that we're looking at right now. i mean if if iraq does vote in the end to get u.s. troops out to some of the some of the. parts of the government that appear to want what would that entail and you think that actually would be a result that would approval. well it raises the question of whether it's up to

him to approve or not approve the u.s. troops that are in iraq ostensibly are there at the invitation and request of the iraqi government now we know that this iraqi government is putting aside all the issues of corruption and incompetence etc this is a government that was established and put in power and kept in power by the united states despite the fact that it has always had close ties cultural ties economic ties other kinds of ties with iran it's a shia dominated government that the u.s. set up and the u.s. has continued to support that government despite the role that it has played in iraq in building up sectarianism across the board it's one of the aspects that led to public support for isis in the early stage of isis his presence in iraq was because of the failures of the government to make even the appearance of treating people equally in the country the sectarianism of it the attacks on the sunni

community were one of the big reasons that many iraqis including many iraqi military forces which one of the things that made isis so powerful was that they were relying not only on their own guerrilla forces but on well trained iraqi national army veterans who had been kicked out of the army by the u.s. when they took power after throwing out the iraqi government in 2003 so all of this is connected you know right now we can't put aside any of these historical moments one quick question to you though i mean i know you're talking about the context in iraq but there is also the big to be a red line crossed in terms of proxy wars that that the u.s. is now targeted a leader essentially a leader of a country even though in the past there might have been scam issues happening on in proxy territory do you see this is a red line and you think this changes the parameters for the way these kind of proxy wars are conducted in future. i do it's a very dangerous escalation it's what leads to wars that both sides may say they

don't want but inevitably leads to some kind of reaction we don't know yet what iran's reaction is going to be to the assassination of thursday night but we do know that there will be some kind of a reaction there will be a response and the question will be what does the u.s. do in return that's going to determine whether this is a very dangerous moment with an ultimate pullback from the abyss or whether this moves forward into what could emerge as a full scale war we are really at that very very dangerous moment and all efforts to replace the militarism with diplomacy must be the priority right now demands on the u.s. congress demands on governments around the world demands of governments in the region at all levels the goal has to be to say no to war and yes to diplomacy to resolve this crisis phyllis bennis thank you very much indeed for your analysis
