1:04 pm
a very big hit as a result in iraq or so where does that leave things now? 20 years on, once again, the security council is deeply divided and there is no doubt that the invasion of ukraine by russia, a permanent member, was a breach of international law and of the un charter. but western diplomats, when you speak to them privately, will tell you that their efforts to put pressure on moscow or even now hindered by the memory of what happened 2 decades ago. the run up to the war in iraq in 2003 was marked by defiance and disinformation, resulting in deep damage to the human system and the rule of law around the world. so much may have changed since, but the repercussions of events that haunted the un then a still being felt. james bays al jazeera of the united nations. so vonny a takes a look at the main events leading up to the end and during the iraq war. so let's
1:05 pm
take a look at the main events leading up to and during the iraq war, 1991 to go for ends. the un security council demands that iran give up all weapons of mass destruction in exchange for lifting sanctions imposed after rocks invasion of kuwait during the 1990 the iraq promises repeatedly that it has turned over all its banned weapons. not true. several or later discovered in 1998, president bill clinton signs the iraq liberation act that makes removing saddam hussein's regime. the official policy of the u. s. government. after the $911.00 attacks clinton, success at george w bush identify the rock as part of an axis of evil. that speech widely seen as laying the groundwork for american military action in november 2002 as the u. s. is preparing to invade. the un security council pass is resolution $1441.00, giving iraq a final opportunity to disarm the united nations carries out $700.00 inspections
1:06 pm
for weapons of mass destruction. and what do they find? no, w. m d 's. still on march 20th, the us invasion of iraq begins. aerial, bombardments 1st, then a ground invasion. within 3 weeks, u. s. forces take baghdad. and this becomes a defining image of the war. the statue of saddam hussein pulled down in fertile square. elsewhere in the capital, there is widespread arson and looting. american forces do little to stop that. iraq's army louis is on the battlefield, but many soldiers go under ground and form armed groups. as for saddam, he is captured by us forces in december 2003. but the insurgency continues for years. officially, the u. s. leads the rock in december 2011, but it still has troops there to day. 2 decades after the invasion of correspondence, sama and java reports, it joins me now that just reports that
1:07 pm
t i is josma from at baghdad and a summers been 2 decades railing of change. an upheaval, foy rockies, i mean what they believe that they sort of lost and gain during that time. well, if you speak to rockies here in the rocky capital, they will tell you that the last 20 years have been not of destruction, division, and desperation. people have seen the iraqi army dissolved by the stroke of the pen, and then they saw the sectarian divisions and the wars in the early 2 thousands which read lead to the rise of eisen and since iceland, defeat this slowly coming back to some sort of normalcy the politicians in iraq, according to many people here, do not really represent them as more than half of the population did not turn up to vote in the last elections when you speak to them about how they feel in going about in their everyday lives. basic services such as health education, a transport are missing in iraq. and it is compounding because iraq has one of the
1:08 pm
highest reserves of foreigners, of that it hasn't had since the 1960 is over a $100000000000.00. yet the people are living in desperate condition, a 3rd of at least a quarter of its population. it remains below the poverty line, a number that continues to increase. and we went down south towards the city of buster, which is likened to the texas above that, which produces most of the country's oil. and there people cannot even find clean drinking water. the buttress famous italian bridge wasn't here 20 years ago. neither was the main road that leads to busters international stadium. now, the streets of peaceful and there's relative, political come in the city, and across it all packed up. and the cheap more than $8000000000.00 a for an investment up to february 2023. we are keen to achieve major projects, and this is all in coordination with the federal government. lots of projects were
1:09 pm
completed in basra, related to infrastructure services, commercial and tourism sectors. in this oil field is the image noon, which means crazy in arabic, something that refers to the large amount of oil, or there's found here in one location, an estimated 38000000000 barrels. the mission field produces 240000 barrels the day for iraq's economy. and production is planned to be expanded to 5 and a half 1000000 barrels per day. in our government says, despite obstacles like corruption, red tape in an unstable region invested the lining up. the mainly interested in the countries abundant deposits of gas. but despite its large hydrocarbon resources, iraq imports a 3rd of the gas. it needs for its power stations. nearly $2000000000.00 worth comes from iran and on a stretch budget that's a burden. it also spends an estimated $5000000000.00 the unimportant diesel in petrol. that's left it off currency struggling against the dollar. and that's not
1:10 pm
all. there's no malia in the obvious federal had that molly behead as estimated by a parliamentary committee. corruption cost around $10000000000.00 a year, around $600000000000.00 have been smuggled out of iraq in the past years. we have to fight against corruption, administration, and financial. there's no real development in the rocky economy. despite that wealth, millions of iraqis struggled to get clean water every day. and every year, thousands of people fall due to waterborne diseases drank drivers and climate change has increased risks of food shortages 2 decades ago, the 1st battle of the iraq war report in buster city of a 1000000 people was besieged by mean, the british forces cluster munitions were used in the international coalition to band uranium weapons says u. k. forces you defeat the uranium threat years after the invasion, a lot has changed yet. this problem continues to remain the backbone put off all
1:11 pm
the economy. but still, the complains of the people are lack of jobs, opportunities, infrastructure, and the lack of attention from the people in power. some of the guy with other busters. so in the last 20 years, the invasion did not just have an impact on iraq itself, but the whole neighborhood, iraq is now a seem to be between 2 powers, the influenced by the united states and its interest and between iran. today, there is the iranian highest ranking in iranian national security official who was in iraq talking about how to secure iranian borders from the kurdish fighters who have been attacking iran. i. there is also talk about how iraq needs to improve with ties economically and socially with neighboring jordan and kuwait. and so this is something which has led to a region wide impact and iraqis continue to face the problem that they do and say big despite their well, the system that was created after ousting saddam hussein does not favor the people
1:12 pm
who are off. but the rich and eat well the day, thanks so much sub jobs for us in baghdad. some years military veterans say the country shouldn't afford the conflict in iraq. i saw james is one of those former soldiers, you know, works full the black veterans project. and since an unsuccessful run for congress in 2020 hasn't stopped his advocacy efforts. his, his story in his own was miami again, on the rock war veteran. i went to times, iraq also was that gangs in my job in the army was alone. bravo! for those, no, no, that's infantry. my additional skill identifiers bravo for, for those who don't know, at the sniper, 1st appointment was 15 months, 2nd, deployment was 12 months. 3rd to plenty was 12 months. so i've been 39 months of combat. straight fighting. i could take a rifle in queer room and do all this crazy stuff. i've aerosol to not a helicopters, i grad dudes and put bags over the head. zip,
1:13 pm
tie them and put them on helicopters in solemn via phone away. and i've never seen that in the iraq war did not need that, but it certainly had happened. my rack did nothing to us and we killed a 1000000 iraqi civilians lost $5000.00 plus american soldiers for what it diminished are standing in the world. it dammit, bankrupted our coffers. all i did was make the war machine get bigger and stronger, where i think anybody who's been shot at and blown up and seen people blown to little pieces as anti war. if you're not, and this is for, i'm speaking directly to every veteran out there. if you love war, then you never actually been it. if you, i don't give a damn if you, so if you talk about america, these of the, you never seen somebody take the last breath in a violent situation. you've never seen, i have a, she is not great. you do so much better than i ran for congress because i system is
1:14 pm
completely broken. i mean, we are, we are, by far the most powerful military in the world. we have one of the large economies in the history of the world and all these the there are full $33.00 industrialized nation on the planet earth. 32 of them provide their citizens with some form of guaranteed healthcare. the only one it does is america, americans, now war for over to one. it is now it's our job as a new generation war, veterans who are more technologically savvy, who have access to more education, but it's not gonna change the way magazine in the world. let's bring in robert kelly. he worked in iran casa director of the international atomic energy agency weapons inspection team is also a distinguished fellow at the stock home international piece for such institute and joins us now. live from vienna. mr. kelly, welcome to al jazeera. can i just begin with the fact that david k was the head of the iraq survey group, the i ain spect does. it went into iraq to look for
1:15 pm
w and the at the time 20 years ago. at that time, what was your remit? and that time i was the leader of the team, iraq. and as soon as the war started, we were out of the country. and that was all we could do was referred to what was going on. and she did everything that we've been telling the security council was true. it had nothing to do whatsoever since 1991, he left the agency are mutually happy grounds. they were like, he last was glad he locked in terms of your investigations with the team. during the period leading up to the beginning of the 2003 wall, were you ever convinced that there were any sort of weapons of mass destruction in existence that had been found or destroyed?
1:16 pm
it was very clear to us when we went back in 2002 and 3 and that there was nothing there. we set out with an open mind to prove there was nothing there. and we followed up on a lot of leads in following up on those leads, we found nothing. so this is a nuclear teams and we were looking at satellite energy, open source information and all lead to a debt. and especially the things that the united states gave us to justify. the wor, work, all the garbage in terms of how you communicate. you'll findings with your senior data that manages and then you have the conversations with politicians, if required. how, how did you gauge the, how the different conversations went, both with the people that were experts and you'll field the scientists, the investigators, and then the politicians you have to remember that the scientist from the nuclear weapons laboratories in america were on the t. so the discussions were taking place
1:17 pm
with people who were scientists, who were from that community as was i, we passed that information on the line to the political chain. and what we saw at every step outside the agency was people said, we don't care what to say. there's going to be a war, and you're just kind of in the way. so in the summer or it was happening. i mean, were you worried that this was going to lead to an unnecessary wall? what sort of apprehensions and position did you take it? did you, did you express those fee is to you'll senior line managers as such old. so anybody else? we absolutely expressed those spheres. we didn't worry, they were going to be war, we knew there was going to be a war before we even went back into the country. the u. s. was positioning soldiers and supplies in the region. so we can see that we were going back for political
1:18 pm
reasons, but we knew that the war would start by march because the u. s. was worried about putting their troops in the field in chemical protective gear and hot weather. so we knew we had until march, and after that we figured it would be over on reflection 20 years later. what, what do you think of politicians when they don't listen to the facts and they don't follow the scientific all the professional advice, but go off on their own mary way. obviously i don't think very highly of people like out there. you paid millions of dollars for us to collect information and hard information. you know, we weighed things, measured, things carried things to chemical samples. and then all the sudden done. and they paid no attention to that. they were paying our salaries from united states for all practical purposes, a french government as well. and they paid no attention to where they were spending
1:19 pm
the money. disappointed, very disappointed and i guess i understand what your previous person was staying, who was there in the fighting afterwards? i feel sorry for him because he didn't need to go. there was no reason for this war to take place. and the intelligence provided by the inspectors on the ground was excellent. instead he decided to listen to political gossip and allowed them to go on that basis. it's good to get your thoughts. robert kelly, thanks so much for joining us from vienna. thanks life. thank you all had here on the al jazeera news, our including we're live from nigeria where vote counting is underway after millions of people voted for state governors and former u. s. president donald trump calls on the supporters to rally, saying he expects to be arrested in the coming week. and this spanish teenage tennis sensation moves to within one when of the world. number one sport, joe,

1:25 pm
violent and surprisingly this time around we're having it easier in carnal are many people are hoping that it stays that way for the few days to come. indeed, and of course we'll join you through the day and we did was there for us in cannon nigeria. our present vladimir putin has visited russian occupied maria pole in ukraine. the city and the internet's region was annexed by moscow last year. hootin drove round several districts on saturday and was shown restoration work at the theatre in university. his trip comes after he travelled to crimea to mark the 9th anniversary of its annexation from ukraine. so let's bring in stephanie decker correspondent in keith is following events. so it seems that the russian president is on his travels, but he's mindful about her where he can go safely without getting arrested. well, the kremlin has made it very clear that they don't consider the arrest warrant by the international criminal court in any way, legal or, or valid. yes,
1:26 pm
a 123 countries can arrest him on the russian president if he visits there. it's certainly not going to be in crimea or maro pole which is now under russian occupation. they annexed our crimea in 2014, which is why putin made his appearance there to mark her those 9 years. and mary poll, which is a city that endured the most horrific of seizures in the course of this war. just 3 days ago was the anniversary you may remember of a theatre bombing, deadly theatre bombing. we're. ringback civilians were sheltering that killed hundreds of civilians that was on the 16th of march, 2022. so now you see vladimir putin driving himself round the city. and i know so i think a statement there to the international community that he remains very much ah, the power house that he is and doesn't take the arrest warrant seriously. talking
1:27 pm
about reconstruction of a city, a city that really was left half of it, a carcass of war due to the, or the, the brutal nurse of the assault by the russian army and stuff. the a great deal, i mean in a related story is what i mean, the great deal extension that was sort of look a little bit rocky on the saturday seems to have some resolution that me. what's the latest old bat? the rocky nest that you're referring to has to do about how long it's supposed to be extended for the deadline was yesterday, march 18th, saturday and the russians were saying, we're only going to extend it for 60 days. and they'd been saying that for a couple of days now, the deal stipulates that it needs to be renewed by a 120 days. that's 4 months. so this is the issue and the un was very diplomatic and it's language yesterday. and even the turks, both of those are the ones negotiating between the 2, saying that the deal has been extended, but staying while away from quite how long. and i think reading between the lines that tells you that they haven't been able to find a middle ground. of course,
1:28 pm
when you talk to the farmers, we've been doing that. we also spoke to the deputy head of infrastructure of the government here who was part of negotiating that grain deal. and he will tell you that the farmers need long term stability. they don't need a 4 month plan, even that it is not long enough. they'd actually been asking for about a year when it comes to this great deal. why is it important? it doesn't only affect ukraine. so it affects global food prices and food supply. because ukraine and russia are the really top producers of sunflower oil, wheat, grain, and corn. when it comes to export, russia, controls the black sea, and this is why it needs to allow ukrainian ships to leave to get their projects out to the wider world. so if you take a forest, i in key with that update. thanks steph. all still had hear all the news. our reports of bull, mass killings and rapes is thousands of displaced. people continue to arrive in comes the democratic republic of congo. was in school as usual,
1:29 pm
hazardous with goals colson, arizona. story, coming up with joe. ah, now the spring equinox, arguably is the start of spring. and it certainly feels that way, despite the amount of clouds see the directions will come out from the science. suddenly breeze usually means warmth, and these frontal systems usually means it's not just warm and lead. that's true that you could call it mild in most of europe. now, this outbreaks of rain running through france and swiss and dancer italy, in particular, has been cold recently. but the temperatures happen rising, particularly in eastern europe. sophia is up to 19 keeps up to 11, which would be above the average, where you might expected to go to during an increasing the spring like feel to most of europe. and that is the cases keys for cost for the next $3.00 days. now,
1:30 pm
admittedly, spring don't be much in north africa because we've been around the 40 degree mark i for months. it's certainly very stormy. so you can spec sandstorms in libby and jerry and expect storms of hail and rain coming a long way north in nigeria. in fact the norway east as well. and this probably good news for those in somalia. the rain suddenly shown up the same journey, c o p. the forecast springs, market issues may be little on the early side because on the average for the whole of march, you'd expect 8 millimeters with 2 or 3 days a thunder tube. i think you might get a bit more than that ah, in a concept hole in baghdad. away from the conflict and tales from the war, sectarian violence and sanction, the iraqi national symphony orchestra has full to perform classical and traditional

1:32 pm
ah. but what's the out there and you are with me, it's a whole roman. indo hall reminder of our top news stories. it's been 20 years since the us led invasion of iraq that toppled president saddam hussein. the military operation was launched without you in support. unlike the 1st gulf for the invasion of afghanistan, vladimir putin has visited russian occupied mario paul in ukraine. the city in the next region was annexed by moscow last year. booted met, residents and business areas under reconstruction. and the accounting is underway in nigeria, after millions of people voted to elect state governors violence and voter intimidation were reported in some cities. final results are expected. on monday. now palestinian authority and israeli officials are due to meet in egypt. coastal city of chapel shake. they were holding a followup summit after
1:33 pm
a meeting unoccupied jordan, last month, during those talks, palestinian and israeli delegation is agreed to establish security commission to prevent an escalation of violence. let's bring in nita ibrahim, who joins us now from ramallah, with the very latest in what one does, why this submitted is taking place right at this time. while there are a number of reasons why the summit is being held 1st, it's a continuation of an upper best summit that took place in druids in 3 weeks ago. it was called a 4 by the at by 5 our 4 parties, jordan egypt, the u. s. and with the participation of israel and palestine. now, one says here in palestine or at least as far as palestinian officials are concerned, they don't have the luxury to decline such an invitation. they're looking for ways to de escalate tension. we know that israeli forces have been reading cities left
1:34 pm
right and center that has left a lot of palestinians killed. but for palestinians since october, which is 3 weeks ago, $24.00 palestinians at least were killed by israeli forces fires. so they argue that the palestinian authorities approach to this whole matter, if they don't agree with that, they say that is, will, will continue it's aggressions. this is a term many palestinians used to refer to the is really a continued reads to the west bank cities. and of course need, as you say, that the palestinian authority can hardly decline an invitation like this. so that must be mixed reactions. and emotions are in the sort of palestinian des spore where you are as to whether this meeting is of any use to them. well, according to recent polls that were carried out in the last 3 weeks here, a vast majority of palestinians do not want the palestinian authority to take part
1:35 pm
in these meetings. they believe that they are security meetings, this fight, the palestinian authorities attempts to sell the meeting to dance or michelle as one that they could argue for defending palestinian people and protecting them. so that's why there has been calls for a protest later to day here in ramallah. lots of palestinian factions have at released condemnations. so there is a lot of anger in the 3 that there is a lot of worry palestinians said that they're left alone. dealing with these really continued is really a question. but as far as the palestinian authority is concerned, they said that they could use the fact that they're in october to also a push for getting their money. israel has been withholding taxes it collects on behalf of palestinians for a month. it hasn't been able to pay it's public servants money because of that is well withholding of money. so they believe that one way or another, these meetings could potentially give them some economic relieved that they could
1:36 pm
pay employees and may be the food tension amongst passengers that abraham in ramallah forest. thank you for the update. the occurrence constitutional court has declared law september's election, null and void. the court has rule that the previous parliament should be reinstated . instead, last year creates a crown prince dissolved parliament and called for early elections in the mid to end. political feuding, ganna is struggling to respond to a measles outbreak in the north, to, to a shortage of vaccines. the government says it can't afford them because of high inflation. the critics play mismanagement, calling baker explains. zena adams lives in the city of tamale, 600 kilometers north of garners capital across 3 of her children are sick with measles and she suspects her 4th is to she's left her business to visit them in hospital. this is really stressful. i had to look up my shop through wisdom at the hospital, and the little money i have is what is spent on their medication. the shouldn't
