security green zone has been hit by several rockets. it houses, government buildings, and many foreign embassies. let's go live to all correspondent minute up there why he'd, who is in baghdad over us, talk us through the situation there in the green zone this morning. when he knew, if you can, she was here behind me, more professors are joining in these are probably supporters of show you at leader looked at a southern up the situation inside the green zone. not far from here. as you know, the military confrontations continue between raven military factions. there is no sign of de escalation for the time being that i've been calls for call. but it seems that those calls have not been heard by both factions on the ground. many

people are now, hopefully that's the grand need, or at least any would intervene to put it into this escalation. this is this area where i'm standing. now. if you can hear these are exposures in the background, been heading get thousands of gun shops including get medium and rockets, according to a security sources say that a few rockets were fired inside the green zone need. we were expecting the supreme court to meet today. i believe that's not happening now. it's not significant will the supreme court is the whole thing, opperation lake, many other state institutions in the country due to the current escalation.

so the supreme court was supposed to hold a session today to rule on a petition submitted by affiliated the police to politicians, demanding dissolution of the parliament. but were that have been that have been a report from the defense team of the subject. lawmakers, they say that the not expecting the court the supreme court to hold any session today because the as late committee, others taken institution preparation is halted today because of the of the military confrontations and but that okay, marinate abdel, why he there for us live in baghdad, we have our correspondence here in the studio, early hashem, you've been to rock many times. you've covered the political situation there. we had a correspond, they're talking about the grand shiite leader, alyssa stanny. let's talk about him a bit more. and the significance of the fact that many are expecting him to

intervene now, but we haven't heard from him yet. no, i have lost his son. he is the head of the yoga as is the senior let occur, the main clinic for the shia muslims and the his, his headquarters is in nudge us the historical capital offer of jason. so over the past year since 2003, this is fanny has been intervening whenever there are like very centric issues, very crucial issues. he used to step in, in order to her, you know, give the directions how things should be in the, for example. or when the era iraqi constitution was being written. he intervened. when the crisis over the government in 2014 took her place. he also intervened when i 1st entered ju, ju, ju morsel, it was the time he intervened and issued a fact were so it was these crucial times that stanley was intervening in order to,

you know, show the direction. now, it says fanny's says fanny's err, spokespersons are silent, and many people may, may be a listen to what he would advise, because the manager a, our, that the, she, our clergy in iraq mainly did the measure for seminary, is very influential. now, how much is it infinite, influential? this is an issue that may be, could be studied because since 2019 till now, there are a lot of question marks over its influence. however, it's simple to lunches. how much is it influential, or what, amongst other sub supporters? this is also another issue. but in general, when sustan's intervenes, when he gives his directions, he is able, at least to influence 50 percent of the people who are in the, in the streets maybe. and this is why many are waiting for eb, what's his,

danny is going to say because whatever he's going to say is going to be very important. this is, this is one, there is another issue also relate to pursue regional players in, in can iraq. we know, iraq isn't, isn't a country that was at without regional influence. iran is ready, influential in iraq, also an international level. the united states was very influential in iraq. what within the she as iran is, is very influential now, or what the past 3 years, maybe since 2020, after the killing of august national casa, should a money runs, i urge you see what's forth. the wrongs leverage in iraq was compromised. and the power to interfere in a way that could change the equation changed also it was, it was a compromise in the very b level. so today,

one of the countries that are maybe that could, could be very interested in what's happening in iraq is, is, is it on because the civil war or the mini civil war among the she affections it's going to on, it's going to undermine more and want it's on leverage and, and the neighboring country ali hudson now thank you. we're going to return to baghdad and returned to our correspondent mac moon abdul. why he'd, who is life for us not to fall from that green zone that we've been focusing on. a 1st bring us up to date when the picture there, we know that 30 people have already died in the violence in the last 2 days. many have been injured. what is the extent of the fighting that we're seeing now? it's still ongoing yet. it's still going on with medical sources, confirm it because he did. and $701.00 did including $110.00 from the security

forces. now, as you know, that's k take a prime minister most of us cause you had instructed security forces not to use live bullets again with us. but so that the support that is here still that be have been receiving fire from units belonging to the popular mobilization forces. as you know, that is a part of military group that is many of them are affiliated to the iranian bucks of political factions. here in buck done, remember this is also the that is also another counter protest stage. it's not far from here, but be beyond defenses of the green zone. it has been to stage it for 3 months, 3 weeks now, excuse me, by supporters of the political faction, the prearranged and parliamentary block, known as the coordination free. more so both, both factions have military wings on the ground of the southern supporters. they

have been receiving reinforcements from their colleagues at salon brigades, the military wing of a place to walk to the southern since last night. and they have been accused. they have been accused of firing rocket, probably a grenades inside the green zone. in fact, the state, the state media cell and known as the security media cells, posted that several rockets have been filed inside the green zone and we have been hearing heavy explosions. probably because of those rockets. the situation remains a very tense inside the greens are not far from where i'm standing. now. security forces have been deployed in the area, but they have been deployed in the area, but they have not been in gauging in what is going on. we have been seeing people moving towards the clashes area, probably saw that a supporter is trying to join the colleagues ahead of that area. there is

no sign of abating at least will the time being both right. you both factions are not calling. there are a ministry wings to back off for the time being. that's why many people on the ground, especially civilians have been impacted by the current measures in full and get these escalations. namely, the care for you could be, has been put in place in many other cities besides about god. since yesterday, many people haven't been able to go to work to move on with their daily lives at many have not been able to go to hospital receive medical treatments because of the care. if you, as you can see only a few vehicles moving in areas where they have pro the patterns. i mean that he has now have been controlled by rival factions. for example, this area is controlled by so the supporters, so vehicles belonging to southern supporters can move freely,

as you can see. so it's getting worse. it is getting worse with no sign of what they think for the time being. and that's why many people are losing confidence in the whole political elite. they do not trust the political factions. that is why they're now calling on the ground. it's the grand j at leader at the law system in nature to intervene. they say he's the only person that can put an end there with this escalation a minute. it is west reminding our viewers that the current violence srp in the last 2 days has erected. father announced his resignation from politics. we know he's support. have listen to him very, very closely. we are hearing reports again, there just reports that he may be giving a press conference soon. what, what could we, what we expect to hear from the last time we heard from him,

he was talking about a hunger strike. do we have any thoughts on what he could be about to say? well as you know, the to move to the so that himself, he is definitely at the heart of this company. he is of the heart of this company. and by it, i was single declaring his resignation. this is not, this is, this is by the way, this adding, if i may say more feel to the fire because this is not putting any end to this conflict. because as soon as he announced his resignation, that means that not me not if you can hear me. yes, i can. yes. of that because of the game. yes,

we can hear the gun calling if you need to. if you need to move out of the if you can hear me now. so car, the situation. if you can a very all yes i can. i can mood of the why he'd correspondent there in baghdad. not on the green zone, volatile situation where you are money. if you can hear me now. yes, i can describe to us what's happening. so i was just, i was just clients. as you can see, gunshots are still continuing. get right behind us because we're standing here not far from the confrontation area that have been reports about snipers taken positions above the high buildings in the area. so i was just trying to clear this point about the southern himself being the heart of this conflict. the fact that he announced in his resignation that says that all violence broke

loose because that is ignatius means in a way or another that he's not responsible for any reactions by supporters on the ground. by the way, the other way round the before he, i was in his ignition. he was still in control as he and i was and he could have instructed his supporters to refrain from violence. he could, he could have still instructed his supporters to hop the military confrontational attack in state and institution. but the moment he announced his indignation, the moment he here and i was it, is it nation me at the moment he he is not taking responsibility for any actions based supports. and that is exactly what happened. the moment he resigned the moment his supporters in front of the parliament started moving in all directions, attacking and stated that you should've taken control of the position pattern. and then they got a text and pushed back by security forces because most of that used live bullets to

get kind of started and picks and killed and, and enjoy that many of the other supporters. and since then, the violence has not been stopping. okay. made up the wait, i'll let you get to a safe position. we had a bullet shots that it's much going on in the green zone and just outside the green zone in iraq, we're sort of supporters of battling iraqi security forces for a 2nd day. at least 30 people have died and 700 have been injured. let's get more on this. we can speak to right homie, he is the secretary general of the rocky communist party and a former minister. he joins as fire skype from baghdad. let's pick up on what correspond was saying that, why do you think mac taught solder announced his resignation from politics. his supporters, as we can see clearly sore as a call to arms, was that his intention? well it is he,

he did say in one of his twitch the few days are good before his or glitch. let them know or is prosperous initiatives or to, to proper to provide to through proper quarter proper us or you should, he would with 0. he resolve a withdrawal from politics. so now the timing was a post closer lake you to that it's commissioner for you and my job. i want to follow me. did they? me the reason for laurie, but then by withdrawing from political life, the i truly, he's not more responsible for the luxury offerings all revolved for garage. she and this super mom you were brother, read you saying that this movement is not, not on the sagal is much longer popular movement. and now if there are, by me longer than i open the way on the larger participation. but i was a plan. now i have no control what would be up and next. and this is, rebecca. no,

was from now the colonel saddle to turn really said gordon, why i was approved for politics and this is no more my, my on my, on the responsibility. so this was but it is a so she to really a decision and with those 4 and this is what this is reversing. stefan, i guess the questionnaire closely. quickly. yeah, i guess the question is, how dangerous is this situation? how wide spread is this violence? can it be? i mean, most of it's been concentrated in the greens and in baghdad. but we are hearing of skirmishes outside in other cities. what do you think? i mean has, can, could we, could we even see a civil war here now was eaten initially we should go back to the issue problem. you see this is there has been a deadlock for many months now and it was always see there was a be no more. they got people out the same way and we are among other people to be

saying that that there is no elliptical initiative or decision to view the situation. and this is by the problem that all meant that the good backward continue. and if we continue, let me the station would continue and the further development were open, that is possible. so that this is marlos now, was not really completely surprising because it says that did not come the peep or the polarization. well sir, excellent to rigid over the pulse of both months. so now now of course the solution was offered to violence, lumped into the deadlock. can we stop this violence plan? we can put to that i did. so we should here, but i think political, the, i would call position initiative, whatever you want should be put forward on the basis of which we can't talk. then about seizing the file the following day. we will go back from the cold, which is, you know, to pull the connection. and this research is thought by actually of decision and

work in expression. well, my own parties to solve the ottoman and to go for a new election. and then we need to get an idea of the mckesson machine and then because i'm sure not to be the reason for a, for that good thing, the media. but at the, the guard the mean objective, the mean or just give it a selection problem to parliament. and then we can agree on proper the proper because it can, can i not matter worried? can i ask you that even if i that that is to happen, parliament is dissolved and new elections, a cold ap. how do we not end up in the same situation as we did before? because we, we, we didn't seem of that outsider when the most sense in the election last year, but he wasn't able to form a government. he wasn't able to get enough support. will the situation be any different? i think you see the few factors 1st will by saying it decided to follow. i'm don't

know where they can make and who should act. he should find a way of bringing content like the men on a new way or of a hold of election with that. and with the course of the extra or, or other disposition related selection process. this one think that and this we, if, if we can agree on this before this, all the opponent, by part of the guy getting, not my study within the parliament extent, outside the public back part, it forces and then the decision to dissolve the parliament would be done by one single session act and not by through discussion by the police department would just abide by the way, by when the political force ag, outside the box. this has been because then if the people receive the messy, general people that adequate, that there is something there are changes. and now the judge in perspective, i think probably the participation would be much wider. that is done before the family or of course, during the 9 months i don't think i think the positioning as,

as change in the, as a people decision decision and the configuration will not be did some months before . i can figure out the object. i would say this is anyway, this is the, the peaceful situation of the peaceful solution. otherwise, otherwise, we should go for an exception, always us. and i would say by except to look back majesty government, who does you should a government and necessarily the by the, by the cause charles, because his in the object such a situation. so this is mary mixed of alex. but you to not pass, pass by this, i can eat it. good mix clear will buy or populated this all the problem with him. and then we got together for preparing well with the conditions. and what about migration or, or o efficient heat? i should not take a lot. i love that. okay, going home. you're looking at this, we all got we're 4 bogey good. be closer to people looking referred to pull up the

trickle figuration people's shoes and keep them on the right. and this will open their way before, but you just look the people loophole. okay. very fold reforms should stop brian briggs process. ok, many thanks for your time. ryan fami sector, general, xerox. communist party, a former minister here, your spouse, speaking to us that from baghdad. before we move on, tell the stories i wanted to show you that live shots again off that high security green zone in iraq's capital baghdad. in the last 2 days we've seen a hit by many rockets. it, of course, houses, government buildings, foreign embassies. we know the factory people had died so far, 700 have been injured. we can hear the shots continue, continue to be fide there we will, demolishing the story for you as it develops moving on to other well knees, humanitarian organizations and pakistan are struggling to get aid to more than
