of 30 year wait and for liverpool fans celebrations as the club winds but i merely . iraqi security forces have raided a base belonging to an iran bank militia group 10 rockets were seized and at least 14 members of hezbollah were detained including commanders. members of the group are demanding their release it's not a fault and has more from back that. the read on the good side as well that babies in a southern neighborhood of baghdad was carried out on thursday night by the iraqi counterterrorism service in an effort to create and impending rocket attack on the green zone and by that in the international airport both of which house u.s.

embarrassing to the new government because the raid was carried out at the prime minister's orders the prime minister who was only just appointed last month has made it one of his priority is to to constrain the weapons in the hands of the state and to rein in groups such as the tide has and of course he has also come under pressure by the united states in the wake of the latest rocket attacks to protect u.s. forces that are based here in the country. the iraqi government has been promising to crackdown on kotite of hezbollah and other militias since july last year the shia armed group was formed before the invasion of iraq home and to western and pro iranian ideals during the war it became known for deadly attacks against american and coalition forces the group has longstanding ties with iran it's often considered to be an extension of the rainy and revolutionary guard their former

leader i will match the this was assassinated in the same drone strike which killed the rainy in general are some sort of a manny last year the government offered an ultimatum integrate with the armed forces or disband they refused to integrate despite that they've continued to carry out attacks on coalition forces and have been blamed for a siege on camp taji in march which killed one british and 2 american soldiers it's mean i mean zacky isn't iraq analyst she says the government wants to reduce the strength of armed groups operating in the country. the me is asserting control over the state since the defeat of isis it's been increasingly clear that the biggest threat to the iraqi state has been these shia militias and so yes he is following through on this tough talk and he's also dealing with significant pressure from the u.s. to protect u.s. forces and u.s. coalition in iraq we've been seeing this proxy war between iraq and sorry between

iran and the u.s. go on for years now and the struggle has continued on will likely what will likely see now is a stalemate between the 2 as they continue with this proxy war because they i think it's become increasingly clear particularly following the events of december 31st that these 2 countries are not interested necessarily going to war with one another but they are very much interested in motivated to continue this proxy war in iraq iran has lately been laying low because they don't want to give president trump. any farter or actually you know help him in the upcoming election and so what we might be seeing is a relatively subdued iran that's going to. hold retaliation temporarily and then just continue with these ongoing proxy attacks in the in the months that followed iran's ministry of defense says a gas storage tank has exploded on the outskirts of to herat this video was shared

on social media people spoke of haring a massive explosion officials say crews quickly put out the far side of a no casualties even. france germany and italy are calling for an end to fighting in libya they want outside powers to end their involvement in the conflict to get talks back on track issued a joint statement saying in light of the growing risks of a deterioration in libya and regional escalation we call on all libyan parties to immediately seize fighting and to suspend the ongoing military buildup throughout the country they're also urging foreign actors to end all interference and to fully respect the arms embargo established by the united nations security council earlier turkey said any cease fire would depend on wall of a half those forces withdrawing from 2 key regions served and their job for ankara

the last several months and what they're looking forward to do is you know you've got different economies different levels of development in these 10 nations so what they're looking to do is kind of have a pot of money that can be used to help the region deal with covert $900.00 particular what's going to be happening next and that is the economic fallout once these nations start to open their borders now we know that you know each nation has a different set of relaxation of the restrictions we've seen over the last several months there's been discussion about bubbles about certain countries having bilateral agreements with other countries so that's something that's going to be kind of what went into this to help coordinate the region when it comes to slowly steadily opening up over the next couple of weeks couple of months what's interesting also with this fund is going to be some funding from outside nations outside of china has contributed japan has contributed obviously they want to get back on its feet economic feet manufacturing feet as quickly as possible because both of those nations have

a supply chain coming up from southeast asia up to those nations so it's critical to them and also it's for development because when you look at how developed and under developed the countries are here and it's a wide range so this will help those poor nations put together a better infrastructure if something like this were to arise again and also in dealing with the aftermath of kobe 19 it's a bit of criticism building up skull that a xian is missing out on the opportunity on addressing the real crisis is there any moves afoot on that issue. yeah this is something sammy the you know i've covered several of these aussie on summits and it has always been one of the issues on the table particular because what's been happening and the international reaction to what's been happening with the rethink over the last 3 years so it's always brought up at the meetings but what's interesting is that you know it comes up on to the agenda and actually the malaysian prime minister has said something today about how often needs to do more i have to say i've been hearing rhetoric

like that for the last several years running indonesia leadership indonesian leadership has also been criticizing the block the body of not doing enough for the rethink the crisis but it needs to be to be addressed that you know when you look at this block of nations it has been traditionally toothless when it comes to dealing with each other if there's something like this like we're seeing with the region get they tend to kind of sidestep it and say that's an internal issue but obviously with what's been going on the last couple of years there has been focus on it but again we're hearing another call from some of the members in austin to do something as a body as a block but it'll be interesting to see what they can actually do or if they will actually do something semi thanks so much scott hyla bambang kong after weeks of see at least 90 anger refugees have been rescued off the coast of indonesia the boat was towed to shore by locals off to authorities refused to the current virus fears have since been put up in private housing given medical checks.

it's just a washington nationals line for us from jakarta so what does this mean in terms of the authorities position towards them are they being given some kind of refugee status. with some of this is still very much a developing situation it was only yesterday on thursday here in indonesia that the refugees disembarked from the vessel which they had which in to the asian fishermen had used to rescue them from indonesian waters so this is very much a developing situation now because of local community intervention because locals did in fact carry them off that vessel that did sort of force the hand of local authorities and now the process is underway there for cation identifying these refugees it's only then that will able to say with certainty what will happen to them at this stage it does seem likely that they will be permitted to stay in but local authorities have not indicated any sort of decisiveness in terms of that

coming to that sort of decision as yet so we will have to wait and see we have hood briefly from the central government not specifically with regards to this case but saying that more needs to be done by by countries in the region to make sure that people don't undertake these perilous journeys at sea human rights organizations have applauded the local chinese community for intervening for coming in to save these refugees from indonesian waters but they say now it's time for the government and for local authorities to clarify what happens next all right thanks so much. still ahead on al-jazeera to tell you why activists in malawi are closely monitoring vote counting off the presidential election rerun. and world war crimes committed palestinians await the decision by the international criminal court could open investigations into israel.
