a farewell world tour of 10 major cities before heading home for the final time. and iraq's parliament has voted to expel american troops from the country 2 days after a top iranian commander custom silly money and iraqi paramilitary chief and 100 s. were killed in a u.s. air strike in baghdad the resolution was passed during an extraordinary session of parliament and was backed by prime minister abdul mahdi. in iran hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered in the city of mashad to welcome home custom saleman his body that will be taken to the capital tehran before the final burial in come on on tuesday it comes as iran announced its further rolling back on its

commitments to the 2050 nuclear deal saying there will be no limits on its uranium enrichment capacity. meanwhile in lebanon hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah has warned that the us military will pay the price for solar money's death saying it might marks a new phase in the history of the middle east. well reaction from washington with john hendren in a moment but 1st to a sort of binge of aid in baghdad a summit turns more about the parliament the version parliament. well lauren the day was of rapid developments in the morning the u.s. ambassador being summoned ahead of the parliament recession by the foreign ministry and then the parliamentary session started late because of lack of quorum it was boycotted by kurdish as well as many of the sunni and fees but who overcame the did put their names behind this resolution which asks the iraqi government to. the presence of foreign troops in iraq this is something which we expected will come

from the parliament because there have been fiery speeches and statements that had come from all political corners here in iraq all sides saying that this the way. this were assassinated is a violation of iraq's sovereignty and international law although now that the decision has been taken it is not legally binding as i just said because not every piece stands behind it and iraq does have an interim government which cannot even pass its own budget so we heard from the iraqi prime minister saying that he wants his government this government and all of the parliamentarians to stand behind him as he thinks that the time has come that the presence of coalition troops which are essentially asked to come in 2014 to defend iraq is from iceland are now having to defend themselves and because they are going to be coming under attack both from inside and outside iraq they will be spending time protecting themselves and the

iraqi security forces will not be able to protect them as well and that is why they must leave it is going to be clear in the next few days and weeks how this is going to pan out because of the weakness of the government as well as internal opposition because not everybody seems to be on board on expelling foreign troops and iraq is still divided isn't it over silliman his legacy what he does about the clashes that have been taking place. what we saw from the very beginning as soon as the money was killed you saw the celebrations here in tahrir square from protesters who have been camping out for months now who are behind this ignition of the iraqi prime minister who's only leading a temporary government for now and this was also manifested itself in buzzer where multiple groups came out on the same day some were chanting slogans against iran some wanted to carry out a symbolic funeral in the main square and that's why the groups clashed amongst each other there were

a number of injuries there as well but it goes to sure how deeply divided this country is based on its sectarian is well religious and ethnic lines so you saw the kurds boycotting the session there has been called in social media from various employees and punishing kurds and sunnis and that is something that the kurds and the sunnis fear as well that in the absence of foreign troops in the absence of troops who are guaranteeing the unity of iraq what is going to happen to them these who are marginalized communities here in iraq the capacity of iraqi forces again to protect them and themselves from groups such as isis and also their reliance on the groups which are very closely aligned with iran rather than iraq itself or some of the jihad thank you very much let's go live now to john hendren who's in washington d.c. the u.s. led coalition against eisel john has said that it's suspending operations so already a kind of a casualty from the fallout of all of this. that's right the u.s.

central command has put out a statement saying it is pausing operations against eisel while it focuses on protecting american bases were rockey bases with an american personnel presence that is after weeks of attacks rocket attacks on those bases that have killed iraqi security personnel and one american contractor the u.s. central command goes on to say. we remain resolute as partners of the government of iraq but as you just heard the government of iraq isn't so sure it is going to want to maintain its partnership with the u.s. that was a non binding vote but it's certainly a shot across the bow here in the u.s. military commanders seem to believe that iraq still needs that u.s. presence there but for now the u.s. is simply protecting itself in iraq so it's effectively not doing anything militarily and if if this statement includes special forces which we believe it

does that means that ironically it is iran and iraq the forces who will increasingly have to compensate for the lack of the american presence in that eisel fight so the u.s. is not really making friends and influencing people in that region after this is s. a nation that's just compounds a bad situation and u.s. interests it might bump is been he was he had to say. that's right pumping i made the rounds of all of the major talk shows here in the united states and that tells you that the administration believes that it needs to make the argument for this assassination and it's become a real partisan battle now usually when the u.s. goes into some kind of military conflict the american public tends to unite behind the president even if only temporarily as happened in iraq and in afghanistan the public his opinion has dramatically turned over the many years since then but in this case democrats are increasingly speaking out pompei did not offer this

specific information when he talked on these shows as to what led them to believe that they had to assassinate constant sulaimani however they did give information to congress all of that information is classified and that is why we are not hearing about it the democrats are expressing extreme concern pompei of said i'm not going to get into the game of predictions we have intelligence we have a lot of reconnaissance we have good observations of what's taking place and says they are going to remain vigilant democrats on the other hand say they've nancy pelosi the house speaker a democrat has called this provocative escalatory and disproportionate the democratic senate leader chuck schumer says we do not need this president either bumbling or impulsively getting us into a major war chris murphy another democratic senator says that this might get more americans killed as it likely will in this case so there is definitely divided opinion along partisan lines and this comes of course many years after ironically

it was donald trump who said he believed in 2011 that barack obama would invade iran or would engage in a military assault against iran in order to get the rip up the public behind him for the 2012 election there is some skepticism among democrats that that is what trump is doing him john thank you very much judy. lebanon's leader hassan nasrallah says responding to the death of silly money is not only iran's responsibility but the responsibility of its allies to say holder has more from beirut his images were put up across beirut's southern suburbs. is being mourned in hezbollah stronghold for the iranian backed group and it's mainly shia are supporters the late head of the elite could this force the revolutionary guards external wing was their commander the public face symbol and architect of the islamic republic's influence across the region was killed in a u.s.

drone strike in baghdad on friday since then iran and its regional allies have been promising revenge. i'll be clear their response is to target their merican military presence in the region their american military bases their vessels every american officer and soldier in our region and our countries on our soul. many was not only iran's concern but the entire so-called axis of resistance a term used to refer to groups in iraq syria lebanon yemen and the palestinian territories he said it was up to those groups to decide if and how they would retaliate but the hezbollah leader hinted lebanon will not necessarily be an arena . lebanon is not a front line of america's and iran's rivalry there is a us embassy in a few soldiers who are trained on me by hezbollah has a presence in the region i can take part in any outside the country. it now seems clear what the retaliation may involve iranian military commanders made the same

threat and iran's allies in iraq have already singled out u.s. bases as targets and the u.s. presence in the region is in a strong as words fair punishment for all or has repeatedly threatened a regional war if iran is attacked by the united states iran will not stand alone is what he's promised it is an expected statement of support from an ally which has grown into a regional force photos are emerging of with still a many who the hezbollah leader called a brother he confirmed the late military commander was in lebanon before heading to baghdad via damascus while hezbollah doesn't hide its links with iran it is the strongest political player in lebanon it's careful to protect that power at a time of increasing pressure is the condition for success for the nation out of there because of the economic situation because they cannot cannot sustain what sort of are. likeable to

2006 let's roll call so many assassination a turning point and a new phase the message here may be one of defiance but in reality the u.s. maximum pressure campaign on iran and its allies seems to be already in a new phase. beirut. my. in kenya a number of fighters from the group have been killed storming a military base which is also used by american forces the base known as camp simba is located in lamu county in southeastern kenya several aircraft and military vehicles were destroyed in the dawn attack al shabaab quickly claimed responsibility as no word yet on any casualties among kenyan or u.s. troops which us or is in kenya's capital nairobi she says plenty of questions are

army. some places in somalia trying to flush al shabaab out they say they killed some senior officials by no names or given so people on the ground are now asking how did al-shabaab manage to break through this base which is heavily fortified in alarm and questions are being asked on the ground what security measures does kenya have in place to make sure this doesn't happen again. still to come. the hong kong protests. with police cracking down on trade is showing that i wonder transport of business. had a cold crystal sunshine across much of a central europe and if out is well i the side of these guys it is a kind of sweeping sway
