a similar to the school to american boss, to bull stall, griffey cried testifies in a russian court for the 1st time, the tucson olympic champion, claims she wasn't given access to lawyers of being arrested at moscow. april for carrying cannabis oil. ah, we begin this news. our with breaking news from iraq where hundreds of protest is have stormed parliament building inside the heavily fortified green zone. there against the nomination of bahama, chit. she also donnie for prime minister. most of them are support is of the shia cleric and politician and walked out of our father. some of them scaled the wall to enter baghdad high security area. these are some of the pictures from inside the apartment building. thought that has that he won't accept any bid by savannah to form a new government. last month, more than 70 members of parliament affiliated to south doris coalition resigned on

his orders, deepening months of political deadlock after last year's elections. let's bring a map of other why had his life for us in baghdad, smiled. just start by talking us through what has happened in the past 4 hours will after the angry protest as a storm of the heavily fortified dead green zone. and there are also a stormy, the headquarters of the iraqi council of representatives of their leader, shia cleric, influential, a political leader of mac, that the southern has asked them to leave in a tweet i'll souther has just addressed his supporter, his supporter saying that you have conveyed your message and you have terrified those corrupt in power. and you can now leave back to your home

towns. as you know that the was protested as came from several cities and areas across iraq. the majority of them, of supporters of looked at the al southern. and that incident today has prompted many in power to release statements, including the caretaker prime minister, most of us called the me who was or seemed to be very key. and that the protest was to keep it calm and peaceful and not to damage any private or public properties as you know, degrees own following. did this told me or by the protest, or is there have been heavy security presence in the area deployed, where there are heavy weapons to protect the state facility? as you know, because the green zone is home to state institutions, government offices, and also a international diplomatic mission. so now they have started to withdraw from the

green zone. things are becoming calm. now. there is no escalation, there is no escalation. but the, the question now with or not whether or not that the government, the parliament will respond to their it hostages, demand the possessor demand. is that no good nation framework and the government as you know that this demonstration has been prompted by then am one nation of mohammed che yeah, i so danny, by the coordination form framework the. busy a rain and bagged parliamentary block . they said the protest her say that she yeah. as to danny is a for said over the former prime minister naughty automatic you home de accuse of corruption of mismanagement, mismanagement. in fact, of ruining the country,

the country and it's, it is sources and it's funds for many years when he was in power for 2 terms as prime minister. so now back to square one back to their parliament. whether or not the parliament will be able to hold a session to let their parliamentary blocks elect to a new president and move on to elect a new government and new prime minister without the at southern affiliated lo makers. the 7 motley lawmakers affiliated to us on what if i can enter out in the parliamentary, congressional that does lead us to the next question. all of our, you know, what is likely to happen next with had looked outside there. tell people, you know, your message has been received. you can go hon. but does that mean that the political process which was already in play, which was already in process, is thrown out the window

will that that remains to be seen because it seems that this is a sure force, a sudden try to show at the people to show the people in power to show his adversaries that he has the majority of iraqi people in the streets. he has a big numbers of supporters and they cannot move on his his rivals. he cannot, they cannot move. he, it's, he wants to say that if his rivals mo vaughn, with forming a government, then the situation will get worse then he will escalate than his supporters will go back to his trees and stone government buildings. again, sooner that question now is whether or not those political parties in the parliament, namely the coronation framework, and that allies will be able to hold a session and move on with electing annual present. the said and assigning a new,

a prime minister to form a government or not. it does not seem to be realistic. it does not seem to be possible, at least for the time being a less and until a sudden affiliated lawmakers go back to the parliament and be part of that the government. but again, if they do so well as other accept his affiliated lo makers to be a part of a government with the law makers that are presenting the frame, the coordination framework. that does not seem to be happening because a southern wants to form a majority government without the iranian backed political. but as being part of it at mammals, at the law had their life for us across developments and baghdad. right? turning us alive now from washington. d. c is bella hub, he is an iraq analyst and a fellow at the washington institute. thank you for joining us on the news. our incredible scenes are over the past few hours. what's your take on, on? what's been happening on this evening?

hello and thanks for having me on this is a sure or a chickens if you like. if not the will between a house that has been divided into 2 count especially after the elections of october 2021. the firebrand cleric knocked at the father, won a peut ality in that election, and he was not magnanimous and victory. so he scooped all of the others, his opponent into unity, and therefore the correct of the other half of the house, the coordination framework. and then ever since it's been, it's been this is a game of chicken. as i said, further try to form a majority government using his power, which is the power of the street which is now used again to, to demonstrate your power. and that his opponents,

led by the former by miss newton mckee used their distinctive. 3 power and force, which is the deep state to obstruct what the father was trying to do. that had basically had length. he withdrew his blood from the parliament. but now he is using the truth again, again against his rival, to basically say that i may be out of parliament by can always storm from the parliament. and again, like last time he did this in 2016 this time he did. he did take credit and claim for it. how do you think this is likely to play out? because there is already a political process happening the, the nomination of a prime minister, a, you know, a date for everything to start going through parliament. so how do you think this, this is likely to play out in the political process? i guess we'll have to see the next 48 hours may be weeks. on the one hand,

one scenario is that the, the rivals that came together united by rivaling father may actually bond together even strongly more strongly by saying, but father is unstable for the dangerous and much ahead was for me to government. they have no money. and there were talks a parliamentary session being held them to day to, to give the prime minister designate the designee, the demand. they are my government. so that could be one route that today's protest and the parliament is going to further energize his father and the rivals to move ahead. but it could also have the intended effect. that's the one. basically that is to show force as your correspond on the ground, said that father can disrupt any such parliamentary session. that's going to, to sideline him from the political process. so we'll have to talk and see what the reaction after today is coming up. the parliament is going to be,

but at the end of the day it's a very bad look for the rog, it's a very bad look for iraqi politics, especially since the protest this seems to have stormed the parliament would rather e was then put some question marks on the current government as to you know, how complicit or how lenient they are with a processor. oh, yeah. i mean, that's my, my other question is, the greens on is, is heavily fortified. right. there are embassies in there. a lot of government buildings, you know, high ranking officials that, that live in there. so what does it say to you? the fact that these protests were just able to sweep on in i mean, not to be too cynical, but every time a group of your like, he's managed to hold the green zone. they had someone on the inside helping them. so for example, in 2016, as i mentioned before, there was some of the parliament as they did today,

and back then room or had that been prime minister of body was lenient, or at least that opened the gate. and then after the, for example, killing of the money when the prime minister mandy was in power of the, the militia storm, the, the green zone, they do not on the parliament but the some, the green zone. and again, at the time everyone in iraq and believe that the only way they could go in is because those inside was willing to allow them in. and because they, they went to the process before the u. s. embassy. and then of course, we saw the train movement, which was a genuine grassroots public protest movement. 2019. they could never set foot in the green zone. so there you have it. as you say, it will be interesting to see how the shakes down in the the next couple of days. thank you very much for your time, but i'll well, how there are an iraq analyst and follow the washington institute. get to be with you. the other news and enjoyed coordination,

have stormed the parliament building and baghdad, protesting against the nomination of mohammed. she also donnie as prime minister, as supporters of shia cleric and politician masada all father who said they won't leave until austin thought. protest isn't bag that 1st stormed iraq high security green zone. that's the political heart of the city. many key buildings in the area dates to the regime of saddam hussein, the 10 kilometers on with fortified by the us military and 2003. and it remained the seat of power in the iraqi capital ever since. the parliament has located inside the green zone, along with other government offices. it also houses, the american and several other foreign embassies was a the on alki. nani is a non resident fellow at the arab sent to washington dc. he joins me now from the law. thank you so much for your time. i just want to start by getting your analysis of what we've been seeing this evening in iraq. well,

it's not the 1st time the federalist storm the parliament building and certainly not the 1st time we witness political movement, bypassing governmental security checkpoints towards the rock and governmental premises in order to send a message. today's event course can not be observed without considering the major elements with finding the political landscape and iraq today, particularly the political deadlock. that is something else from witnessing a governmental formation since october 2021. and of course, the early observe ations that would naturally and marriage towards the protesters from the federal movement to storming the parliament and the greens on open the floor. for 2 speculations, one is that the suggest movement is declaring as opposition towards the nomination of have med she us dining by the coordination for more parties which has

been tasked to form the government since would be addressed the block to resign from parliament or the 2nd option might be that the suggest movement is as orchestrating a power and rebellious show off. in preparation for its presumed parliamentary opposition rolled. if the core, the nation framework manages to gain political legitimacy and approvals to the nomination of exidine. now of course, the, the 2nd speculation seems to be the closest one here since the federalist neither the cold of the protest and the piece for the worries for raising their goals against corruption, just 2 hours after he motivated it. and so to twitter. now, we can't forget that some of their attitudes were practiced by supporters of the political parties and on the wings that are affiliated today with the coordination

framework forces yet to a slightly more aggression and showcase of armament and warfare preparedness if you may. and so this could be seen also as an equal payback by the subject leader to showcase the size of his his fan base during a time when when the coordination of framework is expectedly working hard to maintain the legitimacy and smooth process of nominating. a former minister and m p and how it is to dani. but as well, we should not also forget and he's tweet mark that the father uses the term law, which an arabic means a reform revolution. and that is a key phrase utilized by hand during the growing emergence of protest movements, any rock even away before the recent october 2019 uprising. and as previously

mentioned, could to be an indicator of reviving about political discourse. in alignment with he's presumed opposition and parliament ok, you know, sort of outlined to possible eventually it is there that this is, you know, a paid a there, a power show or declaring its opposition to such a movement. declaring it opposition was given to oversee your extensive knowledge of, of the political situation there. how do you think this is most likely to go i don't believe there will be a lead up unique event after this. this could be, this is definitely something that we must consider to be an elaborated or part of an expanded political deadlock that has been practice by the very clear to political the bible. and that is the suggest movement and the core,

the nation framework. however, from this very act that seems like that if the coordination framework succeeds in money and forming a government, whether it be a district attorney or another candidate, then it is very clear that the suggest movement will heavily rely on the populace. the discourse and actions that will cause many obstacles and delays for a future. a consensus government formed by the coordination framework and which is also an equal expectation from the core, the nation. pretty much if i had the suggest movement or the suggest locked form to the government from the 1st 6 or i thank you so much for breaking it down for us. they'd on ok 90 their non resident fellow at the hours center in washington dc the u. s federal reserve is hiked to interest rate by 3 quarters of a percentage point for a 2nd straight month to try and curve inflation. the interest rates are currently between 2.25 percent tend to point 5 percent,

but the highest level seen since the beginning of the coven 19 pandemic. let's get more in this from mike hannah who is live for us in washington dc. mike, so the raise the rates again what, what does it mean? well, it's not that it wasn't expected, but 3 quarters said percent increase in the rates is significant. high the that is absolutely insisting that this is necessary. it's a one tool. it's gotten its box to counter inflation, inflation that is in the region of 9 percent. the fed intends to get this rate down to 2 percent. now, what everybody is watching here as well, is whether the price increase, the high increase is going to stop here. we've just heard in the last minute from jeremy power ahead of the reserve that this may not be the case that they will continue to review economic data. and if necessary will push the interest rate up again. so this is a very dire situation and away the fit insist that it is walking

a tightrope between country inflation. but some economic economists insist that it's also running the risk of creating a new recession. so it's a very fine line that the fed is walking here. it is doing what it thinks is right, but it also points to an economy at that does appear to be recovering from the ravages of covered the bite. and administration argues very strongly that the economy is now in a transition phase, having emerged from the renewal that has followed the cobit pandemic. it points to the job market where some, $350000.00 jobs have been added each month over the past 3 months. but here's the problem. one of the reasons why the fed has increased the interest rate is because the job market is too hot. employees are paying workers higher wages to get them into the employment market. workers are spending more money, all of this fueling inflation. so it's a vicious circle going on here. very difficult for the fed. it is now done what it

thinks is a right thing to do for the 4th time this year. it's raised the interest rate. now standing at 2.5 percent the highest since 2018 mike, he did mention it there, the r word that everybody's wired about recession. what does this new say about the threat of recession? well, the set continues to insist that it is aware of those dangers. it is, as i said, trying to walk that fine line between curbing inflation without spiraling over into recession. now, the biden administration believes that the pit has got the right tools to do it. the bite and administration arguing that the job market for example, shows that the economy is recovering. it also points to statistics that indicates prior recessions, a were a followed, a drop in employment. what we've seen in the us is a rapid increase in employment, so the bite of administration saying no chance of a recession,

not all economists agree. they believe that if these interest rates continue, there is a very good chance of spiraling over into a recession. at the same time, everybody's well aware that the inflation rate has got to go down 9 percent is simply unsustainable. and that level of 2 percent that the fed wants to achieve is likely to take a number of rate increases before it ever gets to that point. so it's a very tricky part that the fed is walking and one that has all sorts of problems in the way. i my candidate for us in washington d. c. thank you. years present, joe biden has just emerged from 5 days of isolation after contracting crime virus is told americans that cove it isn't gone. a serious illness can be avoided with vaccines booster, shots and treatments. many of us are still going to get covered, even if we take the precautions. that doesn't mean we're are we're doing anything
