multinational colonialism this is a another mint over the democratic process these companies they just want the money europe's forbidden colony episode one on al-jazeera. donald trump threatened sanctions against iraq if it expelled foreign troops over the assassination of iranian general hossam cinema. it comes as iran abandons or limits on uranium enrichment effectively ending its commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal. hello i'm down in jordan assad in syria live from doha also coming up funerals in tripoli often asked for i killed at least 30 people turkish military units are on their way to support libya's u.n. recognized government plus. one as well as opposition denounces what it's

calling a parliamentary leader 1.0 is physically plucked from entering. the us president donald trump has warned iraq he'll impose heavy sanctions if it follows through with moves to expel american troops iraq's parliament voted in favor of removing foreign forces in retaliation for a u.s. strike that killed a rainy and general. well fallout from the assassination is rippling right across the middle east iran is vowing to hit back and has also announced it will no longer abide by any of the commitments it made under the 2015 nuclear deal meanwhile in lebanon hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah says all u.s. bases warships and soldiers are now fed targets well calls for revenge are growing louder especially among the hundreds of thousands of people mourning customs and

the money during his funeral in iran well we begin with al jazeera as a summit in jade from the iraqi capital baghdad. until u.s. and pro iran chance in the iraqi parliament elected representatives came together for an extraordinary session the iraqi pm laid out his preferred option after the assassination of passions in the money by american missiles well in the heart the larger the who what 1st ending the presence of foreign forces as an emergency measure and making arrangements for that secondly to go back to the draft decision that was put forward to the parliament before the current government took office. but all kurdish representatives boycotted the session and most of the sunni m.p.'s were in there the emergency session of parliament is a reminder of the deep ethnic and sectarian divisions in iraq between sunnis shias and kurds at least one commander of the. group has said that if the parliament

fails to cause a decisive resolution against the us presence in iraq on sunday all future sessions will be worthless. a powerful cleric who heads one of the leading blocs in parliament criticized the decision as a weak one so they're called for the shutting down of the us embassy on so-called resistance groups inside and outside iraq to form urgency the tally and similar sentiments were echoed by other shia majority political blocs. this is a real test for loyalty and patriotism we don't want to disappoint iraqis as their elected representatives if this council cannot protect sovereignty it's useless. not everyone agrees with a quick pullout of correlation troops and these protesters carried out an end to the clash with pro iran supporters a similar sentiment runs through anticorruption protesters who forced out of the as the prime minister the iraqi pm says legal procedures will begin to fulfill the

parliament non-binding resolution but he leads an interim government with limited powers who are they so it's a resolution not a law if it's really binding iraq will be exposed in front of vice all americans helped iraq there are a lot of problems for the economy as well. even if lawmakers could all come together and vote to end the u.s. presence in iraq immediately that process would take more than a few months to implement on the ground time which groups out for revenge do not want to give u.s. forces on the job get out of the or back that well gary joins us live now from washington d.c. the president now threatening sanctions against iraq if they boot out u.s. troops what was he been saying. president trump did not speak to the media when he left mar-a lago his resort in florida and did not speak to the media when he arrived in washington either but he did speak to some reporters on air force one

and he said that if if he told these reporters that the u.s. to spend billions of dollars on military bases in iraq and that if iraq kicks the americans out of the country in any way they would not leave until the u.s. is reimbursed for that money building those bases according to trump then he also went on to say that if the u.s. is forced out of iraq that the u.s. would impose sanctions on iraq that he said would be much stronger than anything that the u.s. has put on iran so what you essentially have now is you have trump administration and trump president himself not only ramping up the rhetoric and escalating the situation with iran but also now with these new threats of sanctions against iraq you have the same escalation happening with from the president with iraq as well. trump is again threatening that the u.s. will attack iraq cultural sites what more can you tell us. yeah this is

remarkable in some ways the president. on saturday sent out a tweet where he said that the u.s. had 52 sites on a list that they could hit. any iran and he said some of them are high level areas important to iran and the iranian culture insinuating that he would strike iranian cultural sites now the president telling reporters on air force one on sunday saying and these are his words they say their meaning iranians are allowed to kill our people they're allowed to torture and maim our people they're allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people and we're we're not allowed to touch their cultural site it doesn't work that way that's what the president told reporters on air force one so he's basically doubled out doubling down on that and again threatening to attack cultural sites in iran that would be

a war crime against the 1954 hague convention for the protection of cultural property and so really raising a lot of eyebrows here on that comment i got to say we also just cut a letter in from nancy pelosi the speaker of the house that she sent to her democratic colleagues this just came in to us literally a minute ago and palosi sent this letter to her democratic colleagues in saying that this week the house of representatives will introduce and vote on a war powers resolution to limit the president's military actions regarding iraq and in the letter it says reasserts congress long standing long established oversight responsibility by mandating that if no further congressional action is taken the administration says military hostilities with regard to iran must cease

within 30 days now just briefly here to. keppen good put a little bit in context when president trump ordered this strike that killed so that money and others he did it on his own without it by using congress in advance and that really upset nancy pelosi who said that he should have been biased congress in advance because congress has an oversight responsibility so essentially what he's saying now is get ready because now when congress reconvenes on tuesday she says she's going to call it into session and basically. have a vote on this basically holding trumpet to account all right again and is on the live for us from washington d.c. thank you now from tehran said big reports on the large numbers of people who filled the streets for custom from the mommy's funeral procession for. a sea of mourners millions across the country came out onto the streets nothing

like this has been witness in iran since the funeral of the founder of the islamic republic many 30 years ago the assassination of qassam so the money has united a country and its different political factions. street threatening to target to bring in cultural sites has encouraged even more defiance. to find life for him if we sacrifice our blood for him he still not enough. to think. you did you kill. them or the. iranians. it's ready. to go through the for a big event when. you on the streets of iran the event has reshaped the political dynamic. in november there were anti-government protests across the country but now the government. here have

unprecedented support images of generous of the money put up across the country and port named after him even streets named in his honor everyone is being reminded of his contribution to iran and what's seen as ultimate sacrifice. so the money's daughter has asked to bring him president has done rouhani and the need to of lebanon's hizbullah. to avenge her father's death the nation has now resulted in iran announcing it has no limits to its nuclear activities including uranium enrichment its stockpiles and research and development the deal is now all but. iran says no one can dictate what kind of response it will give to america no need in marjah at all do we not know that this adventure has painful repercussions for you mr trump don't fret india iranian nation with your ignorance you put the lives of americans in this boss region at risk you better pack up and escape from the region. regional countries and the rest of the world wait nervously as the fear of a new conflict grows the killing of one man that is now threatening to reshape the

face of the middle east said baker al-jazeera the iran. well in lebanon the hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah warned that u.s. forces will pay the price for sin the mommy's killing his anahata reports now from beirut. his images were put up across beirut's southern suburbs qassam celeb many is being mourned in hezbollah stronghold for the iranian backed group and it's mainly 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 haven't 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 and iran's rivalry there is the u.s. 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 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. it has grown into a regional force photos are emerging of now stronger with still in 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 pressures the conditions for success for recognition are up there because of the economic situation because they cannot cannot sustain what sort of are. awarded. likable to 2006. called suleiman his 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 face. beirut. time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back 3 americans are killed during an attack in kenya presenting another crisis for the u.s. it's a grand goals with the standoff with iran. also to know whether i'm somewhat of a response from bushfires in australia but not when we're nothing and the president a disaster on the streets. hello there quite a lot of rain showers working their way southwards across the arabian peninsula and areas of the middle east that the showers of moving fairly swiftly say more cloud across the towards the levant that is where the next system will be impacting over the next couple of days that by monday there's rain showers would have cleared through central saudi arabia cleared away as well of from cattle so

a line of rain showers into more eastern areas of iran as we head over into tuesday it's mostly clear to say we have all this is to just impact. in the eastern med so that does mean more rain showers likely in syria lebanon israel where of course we've had the recent flooding in maybe op into northern areas of syria as well meanwhile central africa we have got quite a flurry of activity here particularly central areas the democratic republic of congo and also out across a towards gabble and a similar story by choosing fight if anything the show a little bit heavier on a choose day and similar story down into southern africa is not a bad day monday across much of south africa heavy rain showers across into both wanna northern central areas of mozambique and then on she say some really widely scattered showers and rain events really some very heavy amounts of rain at times we could see some low class flooding but it will stay dry in cape town on tuesday and wellness well with a high of 27 degrees. the

stories generate foundations of lines these protests are saying down with the system and down with all of the parts with different angles from different perspectives just because we came to prison there's a me right stop at the gate separate the spin from the facts the western media jumps on stories we don't take the misinformation from the journalism it's about telling the stories of those human beings on the ground with the listening post on al-jazeera. welcome back to pick them out of our top stories here on the al jazeera the u.s.

president is threatening sanctions against iraq if it follows through with moves to expel foreign troops donald trump says american forces will not be in a sarong base for the u.s. base that's the. iraqi politicians of voted to remove all foreign forces in response to the assassination of the iranian come on the qassam 7 on the bill is non-binding and still needs government approval. underarms announced it is no longer abide by its commitments under the 10 to 15 nuclear deal saying no limits on its capacity soon and rich. hundreds of thousands of people in mourning customs ceremony during his ongoing final session in tehran there's a lot pictures from that procession. well as the situation with iran escalates the u.s. is facing another crisis in kenya al shabaab fighters have killed 3 americans including a soldier while attacking a military compound on the coast near the border with somalia priyanka gupta reports. pitches released by al shabaab meant for propaganda but

also a warning that a heavily secured military site used by american forces is fair game for its fighters the pre john assault by the al qaeda linked somali armed group was its 1st against u.s. forces in kenya governments have been saying that's about being weak and al shabaab . longer strong they are not capable to carry out attacks or wherever such as statements or coax are released usually back and say we are here we are still a strong american drones hitting somalia on regular basis so i think this was to send a message to the somali people to say we're not targeting civilians we're targeting foreign militaries and we are fighting on your behalf attackers went on a rampage at the airfield close to the somali border for 4 hours destroying us and kenyan aircraft along with military vehicles in the end 5 attackers were killed and the commander of u.s. africa command issued this warning of quote pursuing those responsible for this

attack and who seeks to harm americans and u.s. interests but questions are being raised about how a heavily fortified military base could be so vulnerable. putting together an attack of this nature of this audacity take a lot of planning a lot of time and it comes at a moment when he has been especially active along the kenyan border making forays into kenya this appears to be principally an information operation or psychological warfare operation where she has sent a small number of fighters to a major military base the latest incident comes just over a week off to al shabaab killed 80 people mostly students in the somali capital mogadishu that truck bomb attack prompted u.s. airstrikes for over a decade the armed group has been fighting to overthrow the somali government and

impose islamic law sunday's attack suggests that fight is far from over. though al-jazeera. now firefighters are getting some relief as they battle hundreds of bushfires across australia after weeks of high temperatures cooler weather and some rain helping crews bring more fires under control and working to reopen roads and rescue people who've been trapped for days but the fires are still likely to burn for months but just go washington is in batemans bay that's on the new south wales south coast so the weather is offering a briefer spite for firefighters but that's not likely to be enough to contain the fires that was it. daryn that's right this is a brief period of for a spa it is expected to be around 72 hours of these cooler conditions with light winds and even a bit of rain unfortunately that rain is not enough to bring this crisis which has been going for months now it is not enough to bring this crisis to an end it's

expected that australia won't get significant rain at least for another $4.00 to $6.00 weeks that that's the only thing that can really bring these this bushfire emergency to an end for now crews working to ensure that fire is burning along the east coast there are some fires burning in new south wales and there are fears that those could by is further south in victoria crews working to make sure that those fires don't join up and create a mega blaze that would go between 2 cities and just got the australian government says it's going to offer more money to help the recovery effort what more do we know but we've just heard from australian prime minister scott morrison who has announced an additional $2000000000.00 australian dollars that's around $1.00 us dollars to bushfire relief funds that money will be allocated to rebuilding communities which have been absolutely ravaged by this bushfire season things like infrastructure and roads but

also on houses as well that's in addition to funding that has already been promised that amount hasn't been kept if further funding is required the prime minister has committed to delivering on that he spoke just a short while ago. to die we agreed that we would support the national bushfire recovery i can see by establishing i national bushfire recovery fund which will be administered by that agency led by mr culver the commonwealth is committing an additional an initial $2000000000.00 over the next 2 calendar year starting right now to support all of the efforts of recovery right across the country. now this bushfire recovery fund isn't just focusing on rebuilding that critical infrastructure but one of the

key focuses which the prime minister has outlined is in fact the mental health of those who live in these bushfire affected areas many people have been left traumatized by this natural disaster not just in new south wales and victoria but of course worth remembering that fires have been burning across many parts of the country for months now it will take a long time for this country to heal all right i just got washington there in batemans bay new south wales jessica thank you. turkey's president has announced that turkish soldiers are being deployed to libya to help in the fight against warlord who have tossed it comes as libya's u.n. backed government declares 3 days of mourning for the victims of saturday's airstrike on a military academy in tripoli at least 30 students were killed the wide reports. funerals for the younger military students killed in an air strike in tripoli. and libya as you enter recognized
