must suffer. alchemy address the nation after 2 days a violent protest in bagdad heavily fortified green zone. the chaos ended when powerful shared political lead. a mcdonald, sata ordered his supporters to withdraw on tuesday afternoon, at least 30 people were killed. hundreds wounded in protest, sparked. i saw their announcement that he was quitting. politics will have the laguna and i will this if they want to continue to create disputes and complications a not to listen to the source of reason that i will make a moral decision. but i'll proceed to leave my post in accordance to the rocky constitution. that's an appropriate time. why do people or country iraq is bleeding on has been bleeding for a long time? not such a coast. he was a speak now to to or said jabari has been following developments from baghdad. dosa, how likely is it that the prime minister will act on his threat of resigning?
10:11 am
and if it does happen, what could that mean? well, it's unclear how serious those threats are that are made by the current iraqi prime minister must have fall academy, who himself has been in the position since may of 2020. he was also appointed as a caretaker, prime minister. but the political upheaval in this country has just continued and he, in that speech seemed very, very frustrated and tired from the ongoing political crisis that has been dragging on and now reached a very violent days. and over the past 48 hours here at the iraqi prime minister said that at the duality of the state and non state needs. and he also said that the arms that have been used against the iraqi people should be used to protect them. he said that he was willing to step aside if these disputes between the various factions with don't come to an ent,
10:12 am
he just seemed to me as saying that he's not really able to carry out his duties with all this political infighting that is ongoing as well. as the violence that us crew been created as a result of it. what would happen if he does choose to leave office is that the president would be in charge of the country and then the president would have a 15 day period to appoint another caretaker prime minister who would take over that position until the next elections are held in this country, we also heard from the iraqi president himself, barham sala on that tuesday evening. who said that possibly early elections would be one way out of this current crisis that had, that has been ongoing and really and crippling the iraqi government and the economy . and also ever they a lives of ordinary iraqis. and how would you describe the situation, the mood they on the streets of baghdad following 2 days of loss of turbulence

10:14 am
struggling to stay in power. what is clear is that the aimed a of the shared leader books, others, other to show his power in the country has been achieved. now, whether or not he will keep that support after the violence that transpired, raised to be seen because many people say what was the point of all that at that violence which they saw not only are on the streets of baghdad, but in the $45.00 green zone itself, which hasn't seen that kind of violence for many, many years. there is a sense that the system is just not working and that the government is powerless to do anything about it. thank you for that or surgery there for us in baghdad. still ahead on al jazeera, economic battle intensifies between russia and europe. as moscow shuts off a gas pipeline, please do not drink the water to be clear. please do not drink. the water water
