opposition has accused the government of mounting on a military coup. the egyptian boy came during a fan well world tour of 10 major cities before heading home for the final time. peterson is in doha with all the day's sport it's over and out for the reigning super bowl champions as the new england patriots you see in the playoffs. iraq's military says 6 rockets have fallen in baghdad 2 days after a top iranian commander custom silly money and iraqi paramilitary chief and $100.00 were killed in a u.s. air strike there well this is iraq's parliament voted to expel american troops from the country the resolution was passed during an extraordinary session of parliament

and was backed by prime minister abdul mahdi and iran hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered in the city of mashad to welcome home custom silliman his body will be taken to the capital tehran before the final burial in cameron on tuesday it comes as iran announced its further rowing 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 the u.s. military will pay the price for silly money's death saying it marks a new phase in the history of the middle east have the latest from tehran with asad back shortly as well as reaction from washington with john hendren but 1st to some a binge of aid in baghdad so the summer that tell us more about those rocket attacks lauren in the last hour or so we've heard at least 3 explosions here close to the outskirts of the fortified green zone iraqi security

forces saying there were 6 in number and landed in around the green zone in baghdad central area where the u.s. embassy and other important buildings are located we were there throughout the day with the iraqi parliament when the proceedings were happening now this attack comes . second night in a row where these projectiles are being fired so far we haven't heard about any casualties although there are reports unconfirmed reports at the moment that some of these rockets landed in a residential area and some civilians might have been injured but this is significant because this is the 1st incident after the warning has been lied to his beloved brigades a group which said to iraqi forces and warned them to distance themselves for a 1000 meters away from any u.s. bases or military installations in indicating that there might be attacks from sunday evening on birds and this is the 1st incident of its kind order no one has claimed responsibility so far worth noting that has been our brigade is the group

which is designated as a terrorist organization which was targeted by u.s. forces on the iraq syria border and was spearheading the protests which surrounded the u.s. embassy an attack that last week and tell us more about that important vote in parliament. so this was essentially a mirroring of the sentiment since friday where people have been out on the streets here in baghdad calling for revenge saying this is a violation of how the u.s. conducted an airstrike as by some silly money and other to the left the baghdad international airport and iraq's parliament convened after completion of the quorum the prime minister said that his 1st option is that now the presence of foreign troops in iraq is no longer needed eisel has been defeated and these troops are having to protect themselves and after what has happened to us until the money and

it will matter in this they will not be able to provide security to anyone else and iraqi security forces won't be able to protect them as well that was something that was got the support of the parliament and a non-binding declaration was passed and in the last hour you heard from the iraqi prime minister saying that now the legal framework to make sure that this declaration is implemented is going to be set in motion it is worth noting that this is a government which is an interim government it is on its way out he's the outgoing prime minister also there is the whole of iraq is not standing behind this resolution we saw kurdish militia members of parliament not attending this session most of the sunni members of parliament were not there and we've heard protesters from bus ride to baghdad saying that they do not want any foreign presence be it american or indian and they do not want americans to leave especially in the sunni and kurdish circles american and other coalition troops are seen as guarantors of iraq's unity and protection against many groups which are backed militarily by iran

and are seen as a threat by other communities so a bit of a thank you very much and now for more on the news on the nuclear deal i said joins us from tehran so iran has announced its 5th and final step in reducing its commitments to the nuclear deal what's the significance of that. well the significance is that looks like the deal is pretty much dead now iran says that there are no limits to his nuclear activities including uranium enrichment percentage the number of centrifuges it uses the stockpile of uranium and also research and development has said that these steps are reversible but that's only if the other signatories to this agreement come back to the deal and now the united states pulled out of this deal under donald trump in 200-8900 put sanctions on iran now iran has been turning to the european countries and asking them to stick to

their commitments and find a way around these sanctions so iran can trade or that its banking sector can operate put iran has been slowly through a phased step back reducing its commitments but now it's saying that it's not going to have any limits set upon it by this 2015 nuclear deal has said that it will still cooperate to the international atomic energy agency but. if iran is not sticking to the deal and they consider the signature is not sticking to the deal then what's left and the important question here is has iran taken a tougher stance because of the assassination of course and for the money now the foreign minister spokes person around in the day said that the word would be an important meeting that the 5th phase had been discussed had been decided but had been overshadowed by the assassination and it looks like iran has taken a tougher stance on this nuclear deal because of the assassination now the european countries will be looking to the united states in the sense of the saying that this

assassination has triggered triggered the end of this deal and this will be making a lot of people in the region and around the world very nervous and we got some live pictures now of the money's already arriving in tehran times a bit about the the mourning period in the funeral and what's going to happen. well the body came to iran it went to the city of the holy city of mush out of hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets now the funeral will take place in iran tomorrow the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini is expected to need that and we are expecting millions from around the country to be mourning at this funeral now the feelings of the motions have been very high here in iran just remember back in november there were antigovernment protests now this government and the political establishment here has unprecedented support because of this

assassination it seems to have unified the different political factions in this country from the reformists the conservatives and the hardliners everyone here is mourning and asking for revenge and. for the monies daughter has turned to the president hassan rouhani and the leader of lebanon's his beloved rule of asking them to avenge her father now people are upset and even those that oppose the government and oppose the religious establishment have recognized the money as a patriot and someone that 4th isis and protected the iranian borders from isis so the feelings are high emotions are high and there is a call from the streets from the streets of iran asking for revenge i said take for the time being thank you very much indeed let's bring in john hendren who's in washington d.c. and john within the last hour or so the u.s. president to take to twitter as usual what he had to say. that's right the president may speak in the next hour or so he's going to leave the mar-a lago golf

resort where he has been staying over the holidays but meanwhile he issued this tweet threatening to strike iran if there is any retaliation saying these media posts will serve as a notification to the u.s. congress that shooter on strike any u.s. person or target the united states will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate men or i don't think the war's power act or powers act of 1973 ever anticipated the president notifying congress of an impending military strike on another country via tweet but that's just what the president has done we also know from his secretary of state that the administration is putting out its own version of events here mike pompei was on all of the major u.s. sunday talk shows he did not detail what the information was that the u.s. got that the intelligence that prompted the u.s.

to initiate this is as a nation however he went on to say that that information was definitely it required a military strike as a result the administration has given some of the information that the intelligence that it says prompted the strike to the u.s. congress but it did so in an entirely classified format that means members of congress can't talk about it and democrats are not happy with what they've seen chuck schumer the democratic leader of the senate said that he found that information unsatisfying and then other democrats like nancy pelosi the speaker of the house also a democrat is called the assassination provocative escalatory and disproportionate so you've got 2 different arguments here one largely from republicans saying that this strike was justified and another from democrats and others saying that this threat. to get the us into the kind of conflict that donald trump promised he would

get us all out of when he was elected and john in the meantime the the u.s. led coalition against iceland said it suspending operations so perhaps already an example of the kind of fallout from from the assassination that's right the u.s. central command has issued a statement saying that it's now going to focus not on targeting eisel but on protecting the americans at its bases this is after a number of rocket attacks that killed an american military contractor among other things but it also means that the primary mission of the u.s. the reason the agreement between the u.s. and iraq specifically says that the u.s. is there largely to defeat i so in that territory now we won't be performing that function and then you've got the iraqi parliament issuing this non-binding vote urging urging the country to jack to the united states there so the u.s. is not making any extra friends there john 100 thank you very much indeed lebanon's has been a leader hassan nasrallah says responding to the death of soleimani is not only

iran's responsibility but the responsibility of its allies to send 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 there are sponsors 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 trained on me by hezbollah has a presence in the region i can take part in any outside the country. it now seems clear with 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 the words fair punishment for a lot has repeatedly threatened the 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 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 retaliation out of there because of the economic situation because there are not cannot sustain what sort of are. likeable to 2006. 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. the route. joining me live is

a research fellow at the london think tank chatham house thanks very much for being with us so we've heard we've seen some of the responses already in iraq and rockets fired and so on but what about iran itself do you expect them to target u.s. military installations and so what kind of targets you think will go full well i mean from what they're saying from one of the senior iranian leadership are saying is that they're looking for retaliation equal to that of the killing of us liam and it's us nation as they see it and if that is the case then they would need to i mean he was the 2nd most powerful man in iran and you know military general in the region so there would need to be a military response do you expect that to be directly from the iranians or broke through their proxies so until now the iranian model is to use proxies iran i mean this is something that their money and others help built this idea to create the self-sustaining proxies around the region that can do your work for you but as an ally and so it's hard to tell i mean the response will be multi if you know there will be a types of cyber attacks perhaps military attacks at the moment we're all we've

seen is that it will be through the proxies whether iran goes towards the conventional kind of warfare i don't. inside iran if that would be sort of needed if that would be wanted and also keep in mind that iran is overstretched i mean iran has because of consonance their money. as a war theater in lebanon syria yemen iraq and there is a sort of a school of thought that would say that iran might not be able to do that right now so on that basis who will be making that the decision to the top new leadership of the it could create what was the kind of dissonance it's interesting because the other day after after this attack there was the iranian security council and you know the supreme leader hamann a joint and people are saying this is quite rare that he's joining so it seems like the response they sort of orchestration of how to retaliate in the different theaters is coming straight from the top and we had a tweet this evening from president trump saying that he's he would have united

states will quickly strike back quote perhaps in a disproportionate manner if iran strikes any american fashion or target so the expectation is that this isn't this isn't ratcheting down which will remember his intent in terms of rhetoric yeah and you've seen his mixed messages you know trump president secretary pump air have said this is not us collation we are now deescalating but at the same time the rhetoric is still up there it's this maximum pressure type of language that they're still using and so if u.s. bases are attacked u.s. have bases in iraq and elsewhere in the region if u.s. sort of personnel u.s. citizens are attacked they will respond and that's the risk and just an issue of iraq i mean the vote in parliament clearly it's non-binding and what do you expect in the end you think that the u.s. troops will be pushed out and in that case does is this a miscalculation by the transition to done this because it would in effect mean that iran's influence in iraq gets stronger rather than weaker yeah and i would say

the biggest outcome so far of this attack has been this growing anti american ism in iraq. also as part of the iraqi political establishment. so there was always a group of iraqi politicians who wanted the u.s. out but there was a bigger group that said it's not a good idea and so it was a small voice what's happened now is the iraqi government a lot of the iraqi government especially the shia political parties in those parties are all come back together and they're sort of on the same page and they're they want the troops out so the question is if you know today was just a political statement if this law if this legal process goes forward if the u.s. are ordered out the question then is what the u.s. does do they stay and almost become occupiers in the eyes of the government or do they leave and that will have implications not just for the u.s. but for nato and other western diplomatic and military sort of groups that are there in the west and in meantime just meant you mentioned it to the western powers i mean some of the new economy scrambling to say we might be able to salvage

something from iran you can get but most people seem to think that's pretty much dead and now we've had iran saying it's going to roll back on any of its commitments in its uranium enrichment capacity to you know not be limited. where do you see this heading it's antagonistic the relationship is antagonistic it was through proxies and direct now it's direct i don't even think we can even talk about proxy to some extent we're talking about direct antagonisms against each other so the europeans who are struggling so hard to kind of move in between the u.s. and iran are now kind of stuck with their backs against the wall looking at what's happening and you know the problem for the air peons and others who are trying to negotiate between the 2 is the u.s. provides a lot of top cover for these european embassies for nato and others if the u.s. leave if the u.s. have an issue with the iraqi government they all follow suit as well thank you very much indeed to have an answer thanks for coming. still to come on the news hour

a rare moment of respondents in australia's bushfire crisis but the heat stays on prime minister scott morrison. hong kong protests take a new turn with police cracking down on traders sharing that anger at cross border business. at least one u.s. soldier and 2 american military contractors have been killed in an attack on a kenyan army base the base known as camp simba is located in lamu county in southeastern kenya the armed group has claimed responsibility for the are sold many fighters from the group were reportedly killed several aircraft and military vehicles were destroyed. is in kenya's capital nairobi she says plenty of questions left unanswered or in a series of attacks over the past few days. it was an audacious attack the military

base is heavily fortified protective about the king and american troops but al shabaab still managed to break through they destroyed the military planes and infrastructure on the base is a very volatile is an area called borneo forest and over the years the kenyan defense force they've been going in the forest trying to flush out al shabaab fighters and they've been casualties on both sides on thursday a passenger bus was attacked along the road in the county area al-shabaab fighters they shot at the bus and 3 people were killed just last week in somalia a truck bomb went off killing dozens of people in the capital mogadishu there are concerns that al-shabaab is gaining more and more prominence in this particular weeds and they've attacked in the past they've attacked uganda and also somalia over the weekend as well a few days ago there was an air strike in somalia with the u.s. army bomb 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 was heavily fortified in alarm and questions are being asked on the ground what security measures does kenya have in place to make an attempt like this doesn't happen again when israel is opposition is to now saying what they're calling a parliamentary crew after opposition politician who is proud to clear himself as the head of the national assembly for more latin america editor newman joins us live from caracas is going to fast moving story tonight is. it is a very chaotic story as well at this hour kwang why doggie up until now president of the national assembly and the sub the current president of the country is in the building where i am right now this is the headquarters of the newspaper an astronaut and where he's convened all of the opposition deputies be the diplomatic

corps and others to start a new session of the national assembly and presumably be voted in as the president of the national assembly which would have called into the constitutional so given the right according to them to continue to remain as the interim president now how did all this happen because the opposition deputies early this morning were not allowed any of them into the national assembly itself the pro-government opposition deputies were inside a few little by little some of the opposition deputies were allowed in but a whole group of these 30 of them were not one was all said that he would not go in unless all of them were allow did it while all that happened a week to if you like a role the opposition deputy who has turned the last a moment longer lives or with about a half a dozen others to quit was sworn in very very annoyed janet leigh very informally that was not a roll call knew there was to serve area informal shorthand nobody knows if it was

really a quorum or not but in any case what happened is that he was least. responded as his name is now supposedly the president of the national assembly while alive got himself tried to climb over a french to get in and the national guard stopped him it pulled him down his jacket was torn he wasn't allowed in so there you have it what's likely to happen next instant. what. well clearly why the law is going to swear these. 2 men who will be swearing himself in with the support of something like 90 this being up to the exact figure but they need 83 in order to have enough numbers to sway to actually bring in white all again or to reelect wise or they say they've got nearly 90 and so he would be presumably elected but this is an informal area this is not in the constitution that you can go to another part of town and and restart a national assembly session which is should have happened this morning so we're

going to have 2 presidents or 2 people claiming to be the president of the national assembly the international community will clearly continue to side with lies all there's already been ample condemnation of what people are calling a parliamentary coupe but inside the country we don't know what is going to happen what will be the reaction of people on the streets what will be the reaction of the politicians what's going to happen in the coming days and months we see in humans thank you very much these reserve to speed over the nations from venezuela. but you know still to come on out here news hour including standing together sikhs in india's print job state rally against the country's controversial citizenship nor.

allegations that they beat up some teachers that as well now the students of the universe city have protested against the controversial citizenship law this is it these men were members of a b. repeat which is another students union affiliated with the ruling party the nationalist party general party this happened on the day that protesters of mainly women also complained that police had gone to their protest spot and asked them to leave they are worried that they may be arsed to wrap up the protests and all of this is happening at a time when india's home minister has started what's being described as a door to door campaign to convince people that the controversial citizenship law may be a good thing for the country. well some of the biggest opposition to india's controversial new citizenship law has come from the state of punjab sikhs and muslims have been protesting together calling the no discriminatory and against india's secular roots

so raman reports from louisiana. hindu sikh christian brothers we are warned now and forever they charged this is a day of peaceful but noisy protest against india's citizenship law in looked to her and across the state of punjab outside the main mosque the minority was them community are making their voices heard but the majority see community a joining them. if they target the largest minority after the hindus in this country and who will they go for next from all religions it will be the poor that are worst affected. like many in this community they're unhappy with the government's move to alienate their muslim brothers. we're going to oppose this black law and stand by our brothers and maintain our strong bonds. the strength the feeling is growing in the past few days thousands of taken to the streets to show solidarity with the muslims and oppose the new citizenship law we are not very very

. any party that was in the position of the leading sikh opposition party in punjab they should romani akali dal the party they are allies of prime minister narendra modi's government and supported the change if. we would have been denying be right it's all we are asking for the citizenship. so then after evaluations we decided not. to work for it so that is the reason that rewarded for it. but now facing criticism from the sikh faith salie senior figure head priest 3 things who was muslims to be included in the citizenship law the akali dal party chief has done a complete u. turn and this could lead to a split with modis b j p party in new delhi really 2 percent of punjab's population is most and often thought of as an important voting bloc seem a swing voters but a major move by

a large sikh party like the s.a.t. could well influence those voters across the board towards i say these opponents the congress party and its allies they currently control the state of punjab in the last general election secular candidates consolidated their victories across punjab and much of the credit was given to the muslim vote. while any teacher election is a long way off changing opinion is all the senior muslim priest at this mosque can do for now. we are happy today that our seek in the christian and dalit brothers protested with us we all realize this isn't just one community's issue it's the whole nation and we are all affected by discrimination. it's an opinion held by many israelis continue across india's major cities so robert al jazeera. but job. rally has been held in the capital of pakistan administered kashmir was never a bad to commemorate the day the un mediated a cease fire between india and pakistan both countries to retain control over

a lot of issues but i can't be distracted by that and the public i now are not distracted by that what they need us to focus on all of us actually all of us focusing on the needs there in the communities and getting the support where it needs to go and that's very much where my focus is and and that's where we'll continue to be working closely with the states and territories working closely with my ministers in the i can seize the defense forces the new recovery i can see to be led by mr coburn in ensuring that i have the support resources and communications that i know there is at least some small relief for firefighters battling the australian bushfires with slightly cooler temperatures and even light rain in some regions jessica washington is in batemans bay on australia's east coast. this was once a leafy beachside suburb fires ripped apart this community on the new south wales south coast destroying most houses. hundreds of bush fires are burning

across parts of the country worsened by severe drought and intense heat but after weeks of bad news finally the much needed arrival of cooler temperatures and even a bit of rain quite call it's now again in the light twenty's and he's right he had some wind today thank goodness i don't think i've ever seen right for a while so that's helped the far situation and mentally it's still not out there what i want people to get complacent cruzan making the most of this brief window of cooler conditions to bring more fires under control but across many parts of australia fires are burning at emergency levels and this brief spell of rain isn't enough just soffits. before the heat inevitably returns thousands of volunteers firefighters are in the field protecting communities around affected states. you know very very a lot less than your supply temperatures and great conditions to truong it's time
