on what lessons have been learned. at least 5 rockets have been fired near the u.s. embassy in baghdad green zone sources say that there are no reports of any casualties but it comes after iraqi security forces fighting gas and life plates in the new clashes with protesters the crackdown began after influential shiite cleric my toddler son there withdrew his support for the demonstrations on saturday. dozens of protesters were injured in baghdad and in the southern city of nasiriyah as police try to clear a city and camps protest as a seeking the removal of what they see as a corrupt ruling elite and an end to foreign interference and ron khan has been at the protests in baghdad where take gas and live rounds have been fired into the crowd this is khiladi square in central baghdad just over the you can see the tear gas being fired by anti-riot police into the crowds there are hundreds of people

well they're doing is they're coming in from chris where just behind me and they're moving towards where they're gathering in their hundreds to make that point that will the iraqi security forces are trying to. clear everybody chromed this area push them towards grid square where they tried to contain them while they tried to do is are all of the roads on the bridges leading into troy in a loud traffic back in to central baghdad but these protesters are absolutely determined to make their point they say it's been months these protests began in october but there mon still haven't been there is no problem is that there is a new prime minister and there's no new elections and they determine however as you can see it's a very thick and heavy in. how long this will go on for is unknown there's a bit of a kind of cats and mouse going on the protest is running very very wrong. and then

even further into hushed our territory holding as we understand it america. which has been in their control about 20 kilometers in but having to say that this is a big open expanse of land and territory and it does change hands quite regularly so there's no big strategic objective to this that we can see but sunday has been a day in libya where things have changed a little bit cease fire may have gone out the window a little bit because we have reports also of artillery exchanges in the south of tripoli more rockets are being fired at the airport and you remember the port was closed on 2 occasions because a rocket fire we don't know if this is the start of something bigger or this is just a one day wonder both sides flexing their muscle showing what the other has but at the moment the death the casualty toll for the government forces stands at 10 killed and about 28 wounded they did give a bloody nose to have to ask forces but we don't know if this is going to continue

through a president like john may but it seems the advent barrow is using similar tactics even dresses the same one of the protesters told me back in december he invited me to come back to the country as a private citizen of course the information minister said that if he was to come back into the country that he would face arrest nonetheless there was a pro john major protests that took place a couple of days ago and there was no tear gas fired no police on the streets so really a real change of situation here and adam barr is really under pressure from its population from a growing number of people who see his his rule as 'd increasingly off the authoritarian. israel has officially allowed its citizens to visit saudi arabia for the 1st time if they are on a religious or business trip the travelers would still need to seek saudi arabia's permission to actually enter cari the government in riyadh doesn't allow israeli

first start when you consider the region of it has been a leftist stronghold since the end of the 2nd world war it's what defines this region politically meanwhile if you look at the. strategy electoral strategy since the mid 2080 they've had an enormous amount of success gaining about 8 regions a winning in 8 regions now if they can claim which. they have been quite neck in neck in the polls with their political opponents in the democratic party they can clinch it that would almost certainly consolidate their power in terms of the regional legislative assembly representatives that they would have that in turn would put further pressure on the government and the call for having a lections is something that. is. almost in a constant campaign in the mission to try and get back into the heart of politics

something he's very good at doing he has been consolidating his support through social media platforms he has been winning over a lot of supporters in areas which traditionally just didn't even have a hope. chance are told in turning to the far right nevertheless he has managed to be able to do this and if it happens here that there are some very serious changes that will be happening in its political landscape. what about the resistance to my terror cell vini sagna the growing movement that opposes his policies and want something different for the country well absolutely i mean that's also partly due to the fact the traditional left wing politics in italy has really been into quine 3 years an inability to be able to garner support losing support hemorrhaging 1st to the populist 5 star movement

but also those elements who have been gradually turning towards the leak sides of it as well however since they are salvini has been trying to sort of garner support in this region by touting the products of this region as well many on the left have said this is enough is enough this is an actual real threat so they arranged rallies which were so tightly packed in the square that they became known as the sardine movement because of the amount of people who managed to cram into these rallies now it's not just here in ball on you know an immediate oh man you know that they've had these rallies which of been quite a shot in the arm is it worth to the left wing movement where they've happened across the country as well a liberal grassroots movement thirtysomethings nominally but also people who are genuinely scared at the idea that italy could lurch so far to the right in such

a short space of time they say the time but for nit picking and having squabbles with political opponents on the left that time is over and what they need to do is to come together in order to fight off what they see as an even bigger threat which is a hard right leadership in italy they are very closely watched at local elections taking place there thank you very much from belonging your son nick. well now we go to southeast brazil at least 46 people have been killed 20 others a missing after 2 days of heavy rain caused widespread flooding thousands have been forced from their homes because of landslides and buildings collapsing in the city of l.a. horizontally for cost as recorded 172 millimeters of rain over a period of 24 hours this is the highest rainfall in over 100 g. is. bangladesh's economy is crying but so too is inequality one
