3:05 am
but we know for certain that the kids take care of prime minister almost doubled, call me earlier. warden had security forces not to use. lay bullets against protests to have been sniper shots coming from on top of the building. if you can, if you, if you, if just heard this explosion, we've been hearing explosions, several explosions. many people here say that probably most rockets or rocket propelled grenades fired in the area in and around the green zone. the situation remains very tense as you know that it's ironic because of the green zone, which is a battle field now between the rival factions has been there heavily fortified area that is home to government offices and international diplomatic commissions, including the u. s. embassy and the, the embassy over the u. k. boating we lived up from arlington, virginia is kenneth canceled. and he's
3:06 am
a persian gulf analyst could help you with this on the program is to councilman. well, she'll sense of the maneuvers you'll sort of seeing and hearing about on the ground in baghdad. i mean what's being played out politically here. thank you. and of course, some speaking as usual in a purely personal capacity not affiliated, not speaking to the congressional research service or anyone in congress. but it's a very disturbing development for solder has been when he was frustrated in his efforts to form a government. so he went to the straight seed, which is sent his followers into the streets, thinking he can change the equation by or getting new elections or changing the constitution. and then he was blocked by the supreme judiciary. and so he's been blocked and he sent his followers into the streets thinking they can change the equation, but now what it's producing is instability fighting casualties. gunfire. i don't necessarily see how this is
3:07 am
a road map out of the crisis that the political crisis iraq is in, right. he said he created another, you might say an equation of a sense of, you know, exit, souther and iranian influence groups. do you think that's the next move if he says the i'm going to sort of get out of politics? well, i saw, you know, when he pulled his supporters out of the, the parliament dash a lot of those seats went to the year round back to their groups. because the ones in the constitution, the person who finishes 2nd, there fills the seed of somebody who resigned. and so the pro iranian groups picked up a lot of seats and they were poised to form a government. and then he sent his people into the streets to try to block it, sent them to the parliament, to shut the parliament from acting. i think ultimately, you know, there might be, you know, various leaders are calling for calm their calling for dialogue by calling for negotiations. and i think ultimate way to my mind this leads to, you know,
3:08 am
the pro iranian groups at least forming a government and, and being given a chance to show if they are acting in the national interest. i think what we're seeing on the streets right now also begs the question about where is iraqi security and what's happened to iraq? you know, in, in the past 20 years since, you know, the, the u. s. invasion of the downfall of sadam hussein because the green zone was once so secure, not so much any mole. well, i think certainly r u. s. leaders certainly are going to be disappointed at this development. u. s. officials have been saying that iraq has been becoming more stable. it was becoming more normalized, her reintegrating into the arab world, diplomacy between saudi arabian iran was posted in baghdad. and just now we're reaching seems to be falling apart. there's violence in the green zone. lots of
3:09 am
protests gunfire by the iran back to presumably the iran bag groups. so it's clearly a set back up for, you know, the u. s. hopes that iraq would become progressively more stable over time. it's difficult to know how to actually predict this. normally you have the scenarios playing out in other countries in other parts of the world, but hey, we have to really take it by our, by our perhaps. i mean, once you'll impression of how this is going to play out. well, a very haunted, know, i'm sutter conceivably could prevail. he could theoretically get enough followers into the streets to overwhelm the gunfire. and, you know, and to try to track your film, you know, prevail just by sheer force and numbers. or, i, you know, various iraqis could be scared off by the gunfire, and then they go home. they stop protesting, and the pro iranian move mix get
3:10 am
a chance to form a government. it's really very difficult to, to predict. it could go any one of no one of any number of voice of see what happens a when the sun rises in a few hours time for the moment i can. if scotsman, thanks for joining us. now looked other other has been a crucial figuring the rocky politics for a long time. they shouldn't need us address movement is one of the most powerful factions that he rose to prominence after the end of saddam hussein's leadership in 2003, he's demanded the departure of american troops and is against iran's influence. his movements secured the top position of to parliamentary elections in table, austria, winning, 73 seats. but neither he nor his rivals had enough seats for a total majority. after months of failing to form a governments of the ordered his em piece to reside in june. and his supporters of protested in central baghdad since july and briefly occupied parliament out there is a solid binge of it has reported extensively from the country. jose me now on sat i
3:11 am
think to put this in context for view is coming fresh into what's happened in iraq have a night. this all really begins with the debacle of the general election back in october, leaving a huge, willing political void in parliament. absolutely. but if you look at those elections, it's not that 43 percent of iraqis voted it's 57 percent of iraq chose not to vote . we were out in the street in back that in other provinces and what the dell said, this popularity has risen since those election in the last few months. we were in here, we were in bus route, we would in nasiriyah and we were hearing people appraised. said that because he was somebody who was from outside the regular frame of politics who wanted to change politics. and that is something that he's cap at lives on, but you have to remember that this is the father who was once the most wanted man by the united states. then he went to iran to get his studies done. he was very close to iran, now is in his latest political career. he's against iran and he's
3:12 am
a cozy up to all the gulf states. so it is somebody who has a charismatic following people who love him and adore him. and by far, he seems to have the high, the upper hand when it comes to bringing people out in the streets. remember that iran back groups have the fire power. they've been crucial in the fight against tyson. but when it comes to mobilizing normal, every day iraqis, it is not that other who trumps everyone else. what does he have than that other politicians and the other faction don't seem to have when it comes to mobilizing that supporters, when he's, he's not the incumbent. he's seen as somebody who's outside and you see the steps that he's taken to day are in line with that he is resigned. seeing that i want to remain outside of this, we got the highest number of seats we didn't make a debt. so let's try and fix it from the outside and it goes beyond the 2021 election. iraq is in this place because was the fall cause me came into power to change the constitution to household early elections reform. a committee which will
3:13 am
be inclusive and which will bring about change that iraqis have been asking for a long time. and these flare ups have have been happening for frequently since the fall of iceland, because iraq, these are fed up, they don't believe in the political system. there's massive corruption in every political, every political and public offers in iraq. and people just do not have the patients anymore. and that is something that bottles, so that is able to resonate amongst his followers. not just in back that but across the country where we could, a curfew has been imposed. indeed, i mean, the patients can run thin, ready with those people in charge me in the iraqi president, obama, sally, or it's also saying, you know, the country slipping into an unknown maze, calling every one to exercise restraint yet telling people that have a democratic right to protest within reason and within the, the political space of the problem is, is, is when you start impinging on the day to day move, it's a day to day action of government. me. how do you see this playing out now? because some well on the line, they've got to talk to each other. well,
3:14 am
think of yourself as an iraqi right now. somebody who's seen this back and forth, but been politicians since october last year. they have, they have, they have come to the parliament, they've not been able to form a government. they have bitten off of each other. they've tried to bring each other down. and that is something that people are just disillusioned with now. and it is something that has been playing out in the streets of iraq. you have to realize the moment you go out of back that it is abject poverty. climate change has changed lives. people are struggling to put food on the table. and there are no prospects for the future. every single person who is a young person from a morsel all the way to bus ray, if you ask them, what do want to do? they want to leave the country and how can that country continue to cope with a wave after wave of indecision, a real after we of, of, of the same politicians aligning themselves with different political blocks. and then coming back to the parliament. and that is where we are now,
3:15 am
what you seeing in back, that is a cumulative effect of what we, what has been happening for the last 2 decades in that country. it is unfortunate that we are here now, and it is uncertain time letting the president is absolutely right. because we don't know where this will lead to. we don't even know who's fighting home for the last few hours as you see explosions and see a bullet who bullets being fired from one to the other. so iraq is heading to a dark place. absolutely. we'll have to wait and see if these politicians can come back to the table and find, find a solution. indeed for the moment as i have been drove it. thank you. will still have him on desert 6 palestinian schools and occupied in jerusalem facing close by israel because it was in that textbooks and the a celebration of caribbean cancer. your biggest st party is that, that's the pandemic. ah,
3:16 am

3:17 am
korean peninsula. let's press play. see where it goes tuesday into wednesday over those waters between korea and japan. most of it's going to pour into northern hans, you and hill kado, but there's the rain not too far away from tokyo on tuesday with the high 30 degrees. meantime for the northeast of china, a few showers not far away from beijing. and same goes for harper with the high of 23 degrees. that's your update by official airlines of the journey. every month you will have someone from home that will say, oh please, i need money for days with the economy and free full and children and spread around the world. how does the family survive in modern tim, properly, as to pull about 4 people new or used every responsibility to send money home? i just feel like i'm stretching myself. quickness transactions
3:18 am
on out just here. ah. ah. talk about here watching officer with being so robin a reminder of all top stories. at least 20 people are being killed. following dung fired explosions and baghdad screams over the area, houses, government offices, and forward embassies. it comes off to papa. she needed looked at the al serra announced he was quitting politics and so those followers of storm dogs, government palace hundreds were injured. a security forces tried to drive protests out of the complexes, houses the prime minister's office. but other outsider has now got little hunger strike. he says his protest will continue until security full stop using violence
3:19 am
against his followers. so the hot cold for early elections after the last vote on october fail to lead to the formation of a working government onto the days other news. now a bug is found, planning minister says the initial economic losses from the floods could be higher than $10000000000.00 arsenic ball estimate. it will take 5 years to rebuild and recover the reins of killed more than $1100.00 people since june. the government is wanting food shortages and because of how many crops the country has lost, what military helicopters have been deployed to help those stranded in the remotest areas? well, the study says mount water from greenland massive ice sheet will eventually raise global sea levels by at least 27 centimeters if even if combination stopped. now, it says this is because of what's known as the be ice, which is no longer being replenished by glaciers. scientists say there's nothing we can do to stop but ice from melting due to climate change that's already happening
3:20 am
. but they say 27 centimeters is the best case scenario. the sea levels could actually rise by as much as 78 centimeters. now there are conflicting reports coming out of ukraine after laws they counter offensive against russian pulses in the south. in an effort to retake the cash on region. ukraine says its troops have broken through russian defences in several parts from the line to the city of casual, pulsing its units to retreat. but russia says ukrainian advance has been repelled in ukraine, suffered heavy losses stands. the people have been leaving the region to escape the fighting. alex cook, joe is a russia and ukraine risk analysts for s and p. global intelligence explains why both sides of fighting so hard for control of cash on your son is the only city on the left, western bank of the nipper river, which is under russian control. and it opens a gateway to the a potential ground defensive,
3:21 am
which russia potentially would aspire to undertake towards mc alive and then odessa, in order to deny ukraine the black sea coast. so if you create managers to retake hassan, it would be very significant because it means that russia would not be able to stage such an offensive. in my view, very significantly, ukrainian armed forces are now heavily dependent on western western manufactured weapons and ammunition. because the, the soviet's era, soviet standard side, which was previously available to ukraine, has been either the stock has been either depleted or destroyed during the 1st 6 months of fighting. so increasingly, ukraine depends on continued supply weapons from the west. and with the latest arrivals which are more complex and more advanced western weapons, its military capabilities have improved results. presidential candidates have held
