that the path of force and the path of resistance does not change with the evils that the u.s. commits the past is still the same path. today we have no problem or apprehension in encountering any of the world powers we will have our final words on the battlefield with our enemies. we have 2 correspondents excuse me correspondents following the story for us child strapped that is standing by in baghdad that's where sort of money was assassinated good 1st let's go to dorset jabari who is in tehran dora we also we had some really strong words there from iranian leaders what more can you tell us. well this is the come the rhetoric that we've been hearing over the past few days and we also have heard from the head of the revolutionary guard a major general who is saying salah me who has been actually visiting one of the most strategically important bases for the revolutionary guard in the island.

that's near in the eastern part of the entrance of the strait of hormuz chose this day to make this visit it's being seen as a gesture to deliver a message to the americans that iran is actually ready and will respond to any kind of aggression made towards it this is the feeling here that iran is not interested in any kind of a conflict at the moment but there is a sense of readiness for their military at the same time we've also been hearing from various other guests that it visited iran to mark the anniversary on friday at tehran university there was also the head of the judiciary who spoke on the u.k. asian and we've seen people gathering at the grave of the assassinated general sell the money news home town of care mon there is a sense that the tensions are an all time high but there is also at the same time no real appetite for conflict but it seems that iran is ready and will respond to any kind of aggression made towards it in these days but let's take

a closer look now at the events that unfolded today in the early hours of january 3rd 2020 shortly after arriving at baghdad international airport major general. was killed in a u.s. drone strike is close ally the deputy head of iraq's popular mobilisation forces. this also died along with 8 others missiles from the u.s. drone hit their convoy as it left the airport. so the money was the commander of the courts force a unit of iran's revolutionary guard responsible for foreign operations and he was also considered to be the 2nd most powerful man in iran behind the country's supreme leader ayatollah ali how many of those whom i know it all by know in the news of his death made official by iran's state t.v.

. a 3 day mourning period was announced and iran vowed revenge as u.s. president donald trump stood by his decision with this claim last night at my direction the united states military executed a flawless strike that terminated the terrors ringleader responsible for gravely would be done further in thousands and thousands of people and hundreds and hundreds at least of americans. shola money has been killed and his bloody rampage is now for ever on a law for ayatollah khomeini so the money was a trusted confidant a member of his inner circle and a friend for more than 30 years almost 12 months on the commander in chief of iran's armed forces says he's not done avenging silliman his death. you know a great of in-built woman as

a politician whenever it's possible we will take revenge we will take revenge on those who ordered so him on his assassination and the ones who carried out that assassination just hours after saw him on his body was laid to rest in his hometown of care mon on january 7th the revolutionary guard launched 13 missiles at the u.s. space assad in iraq no americans were killed but tensions increased iran was on high alert and accidently shot down the ukrainian airline passenger plane killing all 176 people on board while the united states said they were not seeking regime change in iran trump's decision to kill himself in money had far reaching repercussions feared by his enemies inside iran so the money had for years been one of the most popular national figures in the country the international face of iranian resistance to american pressure he remained largely untouched by the diminishing popularity of the country's elected government. his death prompted

calls for the expulsion of u.s. troops from the middle east by iranian officials as well as reigning back groups in iraq and it's a demand which still stands a year later officials here called so i'm on his assassination and you tapper in the history of the middle east while many countries condemn the acts no one has actually been held accountable the spite efforts by iran to prosecute u.s. president donald trump who in support solem on his role was quickly filled by his deputy because the legacy is now entrenched in iran's history. north of the bari al jazeera tower on. which al stratford joins us now live from the iraqi capital baghdad. must have been like in iraq in the build up to today. well it's fair to say the atmosphere has been increasingly tense overseas such an important day for geopolitically and for the people of this country such

a momentous amende as the assassination of a man who was described as the most 2nd most powerful man in iran the last time we saw attacks on the green zone we understand targeting the u.s. embassy was december the 20 s. and all they are on groups the major iran groups denied any responsibility for those attacks blaming it on what they described as outlaws saying that they entrusted the prime minister mostafa car to me to deal with those outlaws in a legal in a legal way now of course kadhimiya himself described those attacks as being. as being done by terrorists but there is increasing pressure on him from iran back groups here there are also concerns that we are seeing certainly in the last couple of weeks we've seen small attacks usually i.e. days against convoys transporting u.s.

equipment across the country by groups that have never been heard before so there are questions being asked about how much control both could army and the iran backed groups have over these small units that are claiming responsibility for these attacks but of course we've had increasing tension in the rhetoric by the u.s. we've had those b. 52 bombers that you mentioned in the intro over the region as a show of strength there was also a u.s. submarine that entered the straits of hormuz last week too. and it's also very the say that there is increasing fear amongst the people of iraq the everyday people of iraq that have witnessed decades of political instability and violence in this country and whether they support. but those pro ron backed groups those are rob right groups or indeed the u.s. nobody wants to see an escalation here so amongst everyday people they are

increasingly nervous on such an important day. as today charles that you mentioned must have a car they mean there was sort of pressure has all of this puts on the prime minister. he's under immense pressure i suppose you could really sort of break it down into 3 main areas of pressure that he's suffering the 1st stares i say are these iran and back to groups it was very interesting after that 20th of december attack on the embassy those latest rocket attacks security forces here government security forces made a number of arrests of people suspected to be in a boat in those attacks and it was literally not long after just a few hours in the days after we had reaction from some of those iran back groups a spokesman for one of the most powerful of those groups could type hezbollah are threatening to cut the areas off for the army if and it is interpreted as being if he continued to listen too much to american advice we spoke to

analysts who are widely believed to be very pro some of these iran backed groups and they were saying that it had been a mistake by car to me to make these arrests then of course you've got pressure from the u.s. itself the u.s. embassy here threatening to close which of course would be a huge embarrassment for the iraqi leader and let's not forget the pressure that he has suffered for more than a year now from general people protesting what they say has been years of corruption mismanagement no jobs you have an economy here in iraq that is tanking it was only last week that the dinar was devalued against the dollar so huge pressures on the iraqi prime minister from yes the iran backed groups teheran the u.s. and the general population of iraq. thanks that's how stratford live far from the iraqi capital baghdad. well joining me now in doha is c.

an assistant professor at the critical security program at doha institute for graduate studies thank you so much for your time how serious do you think these moves are from the u.s. and from iran in the lead up to this important anniversary u.s. bomb is sent to the gulf iran accusing the u.s. of military adventurism is this a real escalation or is this just rhetoric i think it's much more of a deterrent by both sides the united states had made it clear on many instances that the killing of any u.s. personnel whether in iraq or the golf the g.c.c. in general would be a red line for the united states therefore they are just repairing for the 1st anniversary of the killing of soleimani that just think a nice any u.s. personnel would be targeted that the u.s. united states which retaliate right away to any provocation by you know any iranian affiliated groups or at least some splinter groups that threaten to target the

united states and its embassy in iraq at the same time iran has also mentioned on many instances that is going to retaliate to the u.s. to the killing money and we've seen many statements wife the iranian officials that they will actually target those that were responsible for the killing of so less money and therefore there is a deterrent quite boast mostly by the united states to any provocative. that might be committed what is changed longer do you think as a role result of sitting on a nice assassination. well at least on the short term you had you had 2 main effects of the killing upset them and the 1st one is the taken out of congress matic later bit shared friendships with many iraq fissures that stretches back for decades and he spoke fluent arabic and contras to the current leader of the what's force a smile at. the same time also created at least in the beginning after the assassination

of created fear among iraqi politicians those that do not share ideological leanings with iraq long term would be very difficult to say because there has been many developments as your correspondent mentioned that iraq is going through a very difficult economic situation there has increased the illegitimate zation up iraqi state by protests by rejection of the lawlessness that's that's in iraq and there's also a very interesting fact that that's been going on for a while this is the widening gap between. the 2 less distante and the iranian backed militias so all of these you know developments it's very difficult to say how soleimani would have responded to it what if the they could. you know we are cousins and money as it is the top general he was the head of iran's islamic

revolutionary guard corps the kids for us so how is that force doing now has that been impacted all. it definitely has been impact that the police to a certain extent cannot control all of these iraqi groups or a militant groups because they also have one to them there are many of them i'm sure you can notice that iran is dylan what hezbollah or the who with these they constitute like one group they know how to deal with it but in iraq the case is very different you have multiple groups and it's very difficult to control them and also keep in mind that would be assassination a process so there might be we have also the s.s.c. nation added $100.00 another important figure. that was iraq you figured that was allied with iran and believed in and its goals in iraq so but at the same thought we also also have to keep in mind that the us forces in a situation stroll in its influence will not get my eyes were. 'd killing of one

leader especially since we have to keep in mind that iran strategy in iraq it's been in the making for decades so it definitely has an effect the killing of so lemon it definitely has an effect but it's not going to be an intellect in effect to a white party iran's influence in iraq thank you so much your analysis we really appreciate your time of see there an assistant professor at the critical security program institute for trenchant studies iran's government is pushing ahead with plans to enrich uranium up to a purity of 20 percent told the un's nuclear watchdog the work will be done in the $4.00 plant that's built into the side of a mountain the richmond breaches that have 4 percent enrichment allow under the 2015 you can deal bus in full short of the 90 percent need is to make a nuclear weapon and to my head on the news all including. the years are 81 but

news are 132 thirds of the senators voting. u.s. senators from both sides hand donald trump a major defeat in the waning days of his presidency overriding his veto of a national security bill. really sad to be. european. bank used to a new reality person to tell us how they feel about the u.k.'s departure from the european union. and in support manchester united moving on up in the english premier league and he's here with that story. the u.s. senate has delivered a significant defeat to president donald trump voting to override his veto of a defense policy bill the senate that's controlled by trump's republican party easily reached the required 2 thirds majority earlier refuse just signed the defense acts into law it limits the president's ability to withdraw troops from

places like afghanistan and also the ability to divert military funds want to to use to build a border wall with mexico a white house correspondent kimberly harkin says the defeat prompted a series of angry tweets from the president. the u.s. president reacting on twitter calling this pathetic particularly angry with the republicans in the senate for not standing with him and he feels and tweeting that he believes that they should have done more for americans with respect to the covert relief raising it from $600.00 to $2000.00 that didn't happen and also the president so i happy with some of the power of the tech companies particularly leverage over the u.s. election also talking about why more wasn't done for that now in the midst of all of this the house speaker nancy pelosi she reacted as well sending out a statement that this is a resoundingly were buke of the u.s. president and his assault on the american military and national security noting

that in the waiting days of his presidency she accused him of attempting to sow chaos and undermine security so very strong reactions from the u.s. president but also one of the president's biggest critics in the u.s. congress what we've seen in recent days and weeks is a growing number of republicans distancing themselves from donald trump since his election loss on november 3rd what this really marks is a departure as they sort of look to the president who is outgoing and setting the sights on their own political future so this is certainly notable what is also notable is that many of these republicans are not backing the president's claim that he won the election that the election was rigged or even that there was widespread voter fraud so how many suffered this very notable loss on capitol hill the u.s. president now setting its sights on the next big date on capitol hill and that is january 6th that is when the congress will be tallying the electoral college votes

we do expect that there will be. number of dozens of republicans in the house and at least one republican in the senate that will stand with the president to at least delay that tallying but all. mut lee it will be unsuccessful the u.s. president will ultimately be joe biden and. the u.s. is entering the new year with few signs that it's rampant coronavirus are bright can be contained it's reported more than $20000000.00 coronavirus cases and faces the threat of a more infectious strain and as infections rise vaccinations are being carried out months slower than expected or been reports from the sounds of. it was nobody's idea of a good way to ring in the new year on friday johns hopkins university reported the u.s. had surpassed 20000000 cases of covert 19 with more than 346000 deaths the number of infections has doubled since november 9th less than 2 months

ago the u.s. accounts for nearly one quarter of all coated deaths worldwide in places like southern california hospitals and their staff are increasingly overwhelmed forcing doctors and nurses to ration care one california public health epidemiologist likened the situation to a viral tsunami florida became the 3rd state after colorado and california to report a patient with the relatively new more transmissible kovac variant 1st identified in the u.k. the man had not traveled recently at least 33 countries have now reported cases of the mutant strain a u.s. genetic testing company says its research suggests the variant has been circulating in the u.s. since october on the vaccine front fewer than 3000000 americans have received their

doses of figure far short of the trump administration's goal of 20000000 vaccinations before the end of 2020 i think the rollout been very haphazard there's almost no coordination from the federal government the federal government basically delivered to the states but then the states were not funded for the rollout program adequately and furthermore basically the state said here's the here and go hospitals you guys pull it out senator mitt romney a prominent us republican political figure called for stepped up efforts including the enlistment of medical students. ins and emergency medical workers to administer vaccines he said schools and other facilities that are closed due to the pandemic should be converted to mass vaccination centers president donald trump spent friday tweeting about various political grievances but mention the faltering vaccine

effort only once and then to shift blame to state officials president elect joe biden says he will use emergency wartime powers to boost vaccine production and speed up the lifesaving injections across the country rob reynolds al-jazeera. dr bruce lee is from the city university of new york school of public health explains why the state's struggling to distribute vaccines. there's been several issues to one if you look at this d.d. the cove in 1000 backing track are only 12400000 doses have been distributed it is a state that's well below the actual number that you need to state the target goal you know $20000000.00 people yeah i think that there's trouble is there's not in the facts and plus the whole royal has not been organized at a national level and it hasn't really been transparent but a lot of states were told get ready for the vaccine in advance of the approval but

they weren't told like what are the plans and how are they going to get the resources in case they don't have enough refrigerators or coalface and things like that these these happy just the sole responsibly of the states because the virus as well as people cross the line so you really need to figure out like with states you don't have enough resources where the supply chain needs to be shored up and there were months before the vaccine rollout really get this in order and it really has so they have to tell all the states you know where the vaccines are you know like how many being produced and when to expect them and to is there needs to be analysis of you know which states and which locations have adequate supply chains which states don't know what types of resources that they need where the weeks point which places the more bridge raters more transport devices more personnel this has to be organized from a national and

how i would say is a rather nasty weather pushing away from the eastern seaboard of the u.s. except this massive cloud easing out it's been cooler air coming in behind as we go through the next couple of days so we are going to see temperatures falling away as we go on through the next day or 2 which was the west some rather lively storms are rolling in here i think increasingly wintry modern around 345 degrees there into d.c. and for new york some rain coming through once again snow on the northern flank of that central areas of the u.s. central parts of canada want to try if a little on the cold side of there's that very active weather over towards the west not a dusting of snow coming in across the mountain states and then this next system will push through as we go on into monday

a very nasty looking system this through the pacific northwest some snow there coming in over the cascades pushing into the rockies see snow extends a fair way south as well into northern parts of california could see some more snow just around the lakes just around on teria to the east of that turning a little subside unless cold air for neocon d.c. getting up to around 6 or 7 celsius further south we got some rain making its way across florida follow that line of play out and right into the yucatan peninsula but for much of the caribbean it's largely dry want to too shall pass. from. january on al-jazeera it's 10 years since the arab spring sold to bring change to the middle east al-jazeera looks into how successful look at pollutions work a new documentary series examines the history and jihad takes in drug trafficking and the way states and drug lords have used it as an instrument of power as tax

a pharmacy in the camp it's one of the structures that gives the camp a sense of a small village there's also a market a school and a health center was established after fighting started in darfur in 2003 between mainly non arab rebel groups and the government more than 300000 were killed and more than 2000000 displaced the camp is the largest in the region more than 150000 families live here and until the end of last year it was secured by united nations and an african union peacekeeping mission known as the thumb up camp may seem like a small village or town but it lacks basic infrastructure like running water and power lines and while many of us at the pains of income other similar to survive with the end of the dance government has promised to continue securing camps for both this place until they return to their villages but for many this camp has become a permanent home. a peace deal was signed between the armed groups and sudan's

transitional government last october it allows for the return of those displaced and gives them back their farms and properties but camp leaders here don't trust the deal and don't think it's safe to leave. our homes have been taken over by foreigners there's no security back in or religious and with gone we don't know what will become of the count's the government is saying that there will be a joint force to protect the camps on to leave but we can't leave because we don't trickle signed the government says it won't force anyone out of the camps but that providing for them will become increasingly hard. yeah i think it sort of had a service when there were plans to make the camp a town but how do you do that when people don't want any government force or official to into the camp we can't provide services we can't provide protection we can't implement law and order inside the camps because the people are unwilling to leave our son and the location and the layout of the camps do not allow for it to

be a town and with the implementation of the peace deal people should return home. that's easier said than done for the people living here whether they were forced from their homes or whether they know nothing else they see danger and insecurity outside the camp now life inside the camp is also under threat. well he joins us now live from niala in south to for a bit if the u.n. sees it is the right time to end the mandate of the peacekeeping mission there it must obviously believe the security situation is stable enough so why do the displaced say that they can't return home. while came most of the displaced people who spoke to al-jazeera say they are concerned about the composition and the makeup of this joint force that will be guarding of the displaced people and the displacement camps and till the people go back home that joint force is made up of the military the police and the rapid support forces and displaced people say those are the same forces that were responsible for displacing them in the 1st place now of course

a peace deal was signed last october between the transitional government and many of the armed groups that that states that and stipulates that the displaced people can go back to their homes once their lands are given back and there are certain articles that have addressed those issues but people are saying that their lands have already been occupied and they do not trust that he still that has been signed of course we have to go back to the composition of my camp itself was of the displaced people was there to support abdul ahad mohamad noted that is. a rebel fighter over a rebel group known as the sudan's liberation movement who has not signed the peace deal between the transitional government and the other armed groups so he's not a signatory to the deal that has been signed in october and says that he does not believe those those talks that were held in juba last year will address the root causes of the darfur conflict so while many armed groups have indeed signed peace and say that they will work on trying to get the displaced people in other parts of dar for to leave their homes once it is safe for them to do so with help of the

joint forces people in my camp say that they do not trust the join forces they do not recognize that deal that was signed between the transitional government and the groups and they will say back and they say that they will continue to guard themselves and will call on the u.n. security council to send another international peacekeeping force and till they feel like they're the armed group that they support or rather. will sign a deal with the with the government and then make it safe for them to go back home ok have a morgan there live for us in south of or thank you. let's talk more about the stunning us from london is dr modern world jibber and she is a sudanese human rights activist thank you so much for your time doctors so people we heard from there in his piece they're afraid to return to their farms to their properties with the end of the u.n. a huge joint peacekeeping mission of those fears found it. thank you for having me i think they are you know i read it concerns because i think it would be

catastrophic for the untimely withdrawal of the peace in the you know me don't a peacekeeping mission in the in the dark for the situation is too far gyle the violence continues we hear. you know every other day and you attacks by the militias who are very heavily armed and roaming. in the in the villages in daraa for only last week we hear that there is more than 13 people were killed in getting into and in darfur so so i think. you know it is very untimely security is not still a concern for the displaced people in darfur who they say. attacks and when it started in 2003 and went to live in camps for busy now over 17 years but. who are for the peacekeeping mission to it

i think is tying where their sudanese government to his tail transitioning in and very close and living economic crisis we can see that will be very difficult for the forces that will be full md to be able to protect civilians in awful ok so if the security situation is not stable will the drawdown of the u.n. a troops create perhaps even more of a security vacuum in the region. absolutely and also of course hundreds understand understandably that's a lot of these forces are people are concerned about the same very people whole you know attack them and cool part of the part of the problem. of course they're there being a historical a great peace agreement signed in geneva. and that will lead one of the articles as

you were before to say that you know that part of the security i rank men is to have a joint force between those different groups but for a base to beam prevented it will take time because the only sign recently and you know the withdrawal in this time we don't give opportunity for these to be implemented the other issue is of course the we say that the unit meet has absolutely fulfilled their mission no mandate in our 4 but then where vital in protecting civilians over the last 13 years thanks so much for your time for analysis saw from london dr. thank you. no candidate has won a majority in the 1st round of the presidential election that means the 2 leading contenders mohamed. fahmy will say see each other in iran else next month the vote has been praised and transparent let's talk to him it is just who's in. bed just

talk us through the 1st round of these results. it was a hard fought battle for the ruling party candidate their hope was to win this election outright and such a record since. they haven't of democracy in this country nor can you give us the vote to win in the hostile and so that means the 1st 2 candidates like you said in the introduction would be going into a runoff next month on the 21st of shivery now the and the other the other candidates will now be looking to form a coalition with the 2 candidates whoever gets the most votes will definitely take the race every now what is happening now the ruling party has solidified its very easy in the national parliament it has $881.00 seats now out of $166.00 and a huge that a coalition with 2 or 3 smaller parties of both seats in parliament will give them
