a mani during his funeral in iran well we begin with al jazeera as a sort of binge of aid in baghdad. and to us in 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 buttons in the money by american missiles well paid in heart the larger the whole world at 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 so nice shias and kurds at least one commander of the. group has said that if the parliament
8:03 am
fails to pass a decisive resolution against the u.s. 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 anti corruption protesters who forced out. as the prime minister the iraqi pm says legal procedures will begin to fulfill the parliament's non-binding resolution but he leads an interim government with limited
8:04 am
powers who. 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 a down to the era back that. joins us live now from washington d.c. gabe so we understand that house speaker nancy pelosi has now written a letter to house democrats about the issue of congressional oversight for military operations what does it say. yeah and nancy pelosi was furious quite frankly that trump launched this air strikes that killed so low money without informing congress in advance on late sunday evening she did send
8:05 am
a letter is about a page and a half long to house democrats and it was as she announced in the letter that the house will vote next week on a war powers resolution that could limit trumps ability to pursue any military action against iran in this letter she said that the strike that killed so the money was provocative and disproportionate military airstrike she said that it endangers our service members diplomats and others and risking serious escalation in tensions with iran in the letter she said as members of congress our 1st responsibility is to keep the american people safe for this reason we are concerned that the administration took this action without the consultation of congress and without the respect for congress's war powers granted to it in the constitution so you can expect some action on capitol hill and the house of representatives this week as the democrats in the powerful speaker of the house try to hold trump to
8:06 am
account for his actions there the democrats in the house are also wanting to get more information on the justification that the administration says that they have the intelligence that the administration says that they have on why they thought that this strike killing so the money was so necessary and the so-called imminent threat that soleimani posed so expect to see some political wrangling on capitol hill this week here in washington yeah meanwhile president trump has been threatening to sanction iraq and also insists he may hit iran's cultural sites what was he been saying. yet trump did not speak to reporters on camera when he left was mar-a lago resort in florida coming back to washington but he did speak to reporters off camera on air force one and he said that the u.s. has spent trillions of dollars building bases in iraq and that if iraq kicked the u.s. out of that country that he would want expect that iraq would repay the united
8:07 am
states and he said if they didn't the u.s. would level sanctions against iraq that he said would pale in comparison to the current sanctions against iran so he's not only ramping up the rhetoric and escalating the situation with iran but now also with iraq as well also on the. cultural sites the president told reporters that he would consider striking iranian cultural sites this is a little bit of what the president is quoted as saying he said they're 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 not allowed to touch their cultural site it doesn't work that way those are the words from president trump raising really the eyebrows of a lot of people because striking a cultural site is
8:08 am
a war crime according to the 1954 hague convention that the u.s. signed on to should be noted that the u.n. has identified 24 locations in iran that are unesco world heritage sites so trump really threatening not only iraq with these sanctions but also threatening iran as well on multiple levels should iran decide to retaliate against the united states. in washington these thank you. tens of thousands of mourners are out in iran's capital right now for the latest stage of qassam somali's funeral procession well these are live pictures now coming from the iranian capital tehran sort of mani's remains will be taken to his hometown on tuesday to live pictures there coming into us here today reports. a sea of mourners millions across the country came out onto the streets nothing
