to on fossil fuels, no renewables. the natural gas from the gulf of thailand, power stations burning co, shipped in from australia to transition away from fossil fuels could be relatively easy in china. but the government remains committed to colon, guess the airlines revolutionary god says it's targeted to what's it called anti ron groups and the kurdish region of northern iraq and syria. the but i don't care at johnston, this is i will just say are well not from that. i will says, coming up a mass release is a new video of a cap to says 2 of the captives were killed by is very much we strikes and concept children in shock fluids from the rubble of the israel's latest attacks on the

central and southern guns and dozens of palestinians have been killed in the cost and will be live in iowa, which is operating freezing. temperatures, raised for the white house begins the beginning, this program in iraq at traffic and the bill in the rock, samuel tournaments. curtis region has been suspended after number of explosions around this that revolutionary god says it's fit for the reason that we saw some drugs. so i was talking to spying center, to say what types of groups in syria say it wasn't retaliation for bombings and ron, earlier this month, my wife has more now from back to the security council over the rocks, a note of that, and it sent me to numerous could this region has announced that at 1130 p and uh

on uh, january 16th, that your onset of losing we got filed the ballistic missiles and targeted it civilian areas in the u. rocks. note of the city over there being on the other hand, you're on the pollution, we've got. it stated that it is supposed to that to arrest the crimes committed by any means of the east lennox republic of the on the division lucian. we've got it. has it targeted it? it's pretty knowledge headquarters and it what it calls it, a gathering of the anterior on a tourist groups and destroyed them. now that since the mid october, over a $120.00 attacks that targeted us and coalition forces hit the courses, the headquarters that would get it would, might you want aligned with the groups?

this is the fittest. the time that you're on is that a pollution, we've got to take some alternatives into their own hands. the on aligned on with groups in iraq, blame the united states for as they say, standing as a major supporter of israel is admitted free campaign and it has and they put that at support it to stop as a prerequisite to stop the attacks against us and coalition forces in iraq or earlier i spoke to elders, heroes, i hassan who has spent a significant amount of time in iraq. he says that it runs strikes on positions in northern iraq, and syria indicates a vigil escalation of israel's war on guns. we are in this situation, the whole region is in your war, i mean, main war life now going on and these really what on that is and that extension on separate on front. so that in the admin and they've been on the rock, it says this is the 1st time that the iranians are getting closer to

a 10 situation. they've been distancing themselves over the past few months from any kind of tension. and today, there's a different situation where the radians off uh, 1st of all retaliating to multiple suicide, the talk by hitting a one day describe us isis positions and syria. this is one, but the 2nd attack is linked to this tension, the region of attention because the iranians are accusing the is really, is of getting one of the commanders and see the say drugs the most that we last month. also the, another to senior iranian r g c. offices were killed and syria also accused the buyer on a kid on, on his room. so they, they were same now the, the retaliated by hitting and massage center and it'll be now,

the issue here is that there was a lot, a lot of speculations, whether this was an attack on an us call center to the fact is that the americans denied this but this building that one's head is close to the us concert. it's close also to the airport and that'll be then, so it's a close to us based on the airport. so there are some items that are seeing that this could be a message with fire at the time when the whole region is already on fire. this is the significance here. oh, so you have a ton space in washington dc for us now she have wants to us reaction. been to this what precisely because of that proximity to us as soon as he is a this attack, there was a lot of speculation. disease came into a about the various details were coming in. we do not finally have this from the department of defense. we have seen the reports and we track from yourselves which

are impacted in northern iraq and northern syria. no us personnel, e facilities were targeted. we have been in touch with senior rocky officials as well as officials and the cut us down region. iran is claiming this is in response to the terrorist attacks and come out around on the roster on with a focus on isis. we will continue to assess the situation, but initial indications, all of this was a reckless and precise set of strikes. the united states supports the sovereignty independence um, territorial integrity. so they're all come out from a us defense official. that final sentence, clearly quite an interesting avenue for the pens again to decide to go down given you know, the car funeral in the wake of the us bombing backed out about a week and a half ago. but anyway, the us supposedly territorial integrity of iraq and, and sovereignty. that's the us position to advertise in washington dc. if your said the thank you very much. the

now let's turn to the war and goes how mass has released a new video that's apparently shows the dead bodies of 2 is really captives. the footage it must as, as well as defense minister said the only way to secure the release of more captives will be through maintaining, literally pressure on how much. well the video shows a 3rd captive. besides, the 2 killed buys very strikes on gauze, though. she continues to plead for the water and the captives to be returned home while they are still alive. this is where the army has denied the claims, according to brutal use of innocence, captives, di loaner. while i lived there, it was not shocked by or false could assume should. this is a lie, but how much the building on which the work kept was not attacked good almost. and it was not a toggle of our forces. we have done with as many method. pretty cool mom. we didn't know the patient and really the time when we do not talk a place where we know there may be hostages. in retrospect,

but we know that we hit the targets near the location where they were held like to . we are investigating the incident under the circumstances of it and examining the pictures the time must mean anything alongside additional information that we have . so hire access for them. developments from tennessee is another hiring videos for the families of those held captive still in the gaza strip. as how mosse now is claims that 2 of them have been killed in strikes. it's clear to the families the, the plan for the governments and the military to continue with. this will isn't working. they've said they want them brought back as soon as possible. one of those features in this video, a 26 year old female, her mother spoke on stage hostage square. it's a mock $100.00 days since they were held captive. she suffers from cancer and said that she hopes adults a will be back before she dies from the illness. now just does not video was

released. we also saw a statement from you all good along the defense minister. he said that the minute to a probations must continue to bring back all the hostages. this up to time when a ceasefire conversation between cats, all the us, egypt that involves how much is ro, seems to have come to a complete halt for the families. that's a white thing. they say time is running out and this lights, as videos will be incredibly painful and distressing for them. so to fight out, i'll just there are some of these. this is rose, man actually is continuing to expand its ground operations in gaza. at least 60 southern palestinians have been killed this 24 hours will. let's take a look now. the areas where the troops off position is tanks and troops of presents in all these areas in the north and south for this trip, and not an intense bottles of palestinian fighters in northern gauze,

and it may here and a top trip. and there was intense guns, 5 and con units saving items. southern garza buffalo is all taking place between palestinian fighters and this very force. is there any troops so advancing towards their hours a lot, honey. luckily the reports from rafa or some of the rest of your workers, are searching sensitive vipers in a pile of concrete. his regular is try to get a residential building, and some told garza, a girl and her brother are the sole survivors in this attack that killed dozens of house in these very the army has been ramping up its military action in the besieged southern city of tanya and paving the way for times an arm of the vehicle to move deeper into the area. there has been a communication of black outing garza for days and its hindering greske effort. so

have you any about the heavy heating the with them? we are not even able to receive emergency calls from citizens. we are not even able to use their navigation tools. we rely on our audio and visual skills to reach the targeted areas. on some occasions we take light vehicles to reach hospitals and ask victims about locations of the affected area of the, you know, it's a really difficult for families to stay in touch with the youth that i'm separated from my parents and i can't reach out to them i do not know how or where i can re unite with them. busy apart from this, i have not been able to reach my son for 2 days, and i'm not able to call him and i don't know where he is. i can't rest. i can't even sleep because i'm not able to get in touch with many of my family members. mission motivates refugee camps across the strip. ruins after is rarely ever strikes. for the center,

the number of palestinians through the refuge in the south is rising. out of my shuttle is the thing we can hardly survive. my house was bombed and levelled my family and i, and now homeless my sister, 10 of my cousins will code. we were forced to take shelter until i was out to school. that my niece and nephew were killed. then we were forced to leave to another shelter, which was rated by the as ready soldiers. i'm penny left. how can i save them and we've lost our livelihood? so human state. and it's been more than a 100 days since it's really a launch. it's more ongoing, but there's no into the humanitarian. a crisis. palestinians are facing hunger and paying on a daily basis. their suffering is a growing homeless. this is on the rise to. many of them are living in tents braving the cold and the rain because they have nowhere else to go. honey, my mode, i was just, he had a rough southern gauze. it is ready,

forces are conducting raids in nablus and occupies westbank on these vehicles. was seen driving us gall refugee camp and a number of neighborhoods east of nap. this is rarely it forces have intensified incursions in occupied westbank since october the 7th. that is 6000 palestinians have been detained from that. so who is an occupied easter assembly were following several raids across the occupied west bank several taking place in different areas around nablus, several military vehicles going in along with military bulldozers. additionally, we're looking at a raid in the, in the soap on refugee camp in jericho. these really military surrounding a house, perhaps using the pressure cooker method, calling for the palestinians inside to surrender. this is just a continuation of israel's nightly rates that have been taking place across the occupied west bank for the last 2 years. but since october, the 7th,

in the last $100.00 days, these raids have intensified. and in fact, they have taken the lives of 355 palestinians, 94 of them are children. additionally, you're looking at at least 4000 others who been arrested, at least, excuse me, 4000 who been injured and then we sick there around 6000 who have been detained. these really are me says that this is in an effort to crack down on armed palestinian resistance with these incursions have been quite continuous and quite lengthy. some of these rays, even taking place for days out of time. and israel one person has been killed and a to know this engine in a car rounding and stabbing attack. it happened in the city of or not just north of tennessee. police say they have arrested suspects. love identified them as residents of hebron occupied westbank and investigation is underway to

so it's a come on out this era young'uns that we see rebels get an american don't contain a shipment missile in the red sea the the, the weather brought to you by visit the cutoff date has been the coldest for 60 years in western canada, as i'm sure you know, in the state of iowa, the code is caucus, on record. well, this is the extent of the code on tuesday morning. it still looks pretty nasty, old way down to the gulf coast, but that coast of the walmart and out of temperatures will start to rise by day. additionally, it is still looking cold, but that blue is extending into the pink, which means the southern states almost as cold as they were. indeed, the cold air was giving stow to the northeast of the us or eastern canada,

where recently they've been funding. so it's got cold if it's not release, otherwise, expect the sunshine. but still, of course it remains cold. it's been quite warm in parts of the caribbean of the northern countries of south america, especially west to central america. but i think the wind direction and the increasing cabbage house will change that to some degree. for example, next, cuz it is down to 25. we went above set, you know, about lower go. and as you know, they've been in floods recently. big rains in some parts of columbia, this whole area of the west an amazon base and still could be fairly wet and were recently damaging hailstones of folding the wine, growing area of option t to that could be a repeat performance, looks slightly further north and it does a div movies towards the require the was brought to you by visit castle on counting the cost 2024 set to be the need of elections, lots of stores for the global economy under the umbrella. so much potential

political change. and we'll look at the impacts, the rising cost of shifting due to tensions in the red sea. counting the costs on al jazeera, we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. is the human suffering that the reports are? we brave bullets and bombs, and we always include the views from all sides. the of the welcome back. remind about headlines. now. the officials in northern iraq say at least 4 people have been killed and 6 on his wounded in miss silent showed a tax and a bill around this revolutionary goddess claimed responsibility saying it was

targeting a spying sensor. a mass has released a new video. that's it. is to show the dead bodies of 2 is really captives. a 3rd captive in the video says to what to buys very strikes on concepts and please with this well to the voice and is ready for us is a conducting raids in the okay pods. westbank on the vehicles was seen driving an us call refugee counting. the number of naples is east of memphis. not voting is on the way in the iowa caucus says the us state cheeses. republican presidential nominees votes as operating sub 0 temperatures across the state ols have for what president donald trump is front runner is nearest bravo saw for my boss of the to the you and nicky. i the and floated golf net run the census and showing up was on engine joins as long as not from uncanny in iowa. it's almost the nicest you can send us the

well, the clock is, is, have started. i'm gonna have to keep my voice down a little bit because i've got a microphone on and the people behind me don't. but what you're seeing right now is a speaker on behalf of nikki haley trying to sell the case. the people here ought to be voting for her. we had just turned previously before that from the lieutenant governor of florida, who spoke on behalf of rhonda sanders and soon we are going to hear from a trump advocate who is a one time governor of kansas. he's about speak shortly after that, and what each of them are doing is urging people to vote for they are candid, it takes about an hour and a half at the end. they all vote and that's it. those votes are tallied. and at the end of the night, we hope to know the answer. for the candidates, the goal is trying to beat expectations. and a recent poll showed when they came out this weekend, des moines register, and be simple. said that 48 percent supported donald trump. 20 percent. nikki haley,

16 percent. rhonda sanchez, an 8 percent effect. rama swami. what's important about that is that nikki haley appears to have leapfrog to the position this number 2 position of rhonda scientists, and they're both fighting to be the alternative to donald trump. so here what you've got is people listening to one of those candidate advocates. and at the end of the night they're going to decide which one they want. but for those other candidates who are not named donald trump, their goal is to exceed expectations for trump. his goal is to try to win by a wide margin. still hands on with us. all right, the thank you for joining us now is republican strategist james davis is in arlington, virginia, and also has signed a democratic political strategist from bennington, in vermont, or commit to best. let's start with james davis. then we'll go to you 1st. that is it. although, so run desantis and think you have the, i mean, the pose would suggest well,

i remember for republicans is more of a feel of narrower knocking maker. i would typically does play. it's a really strong role in, in winning the field a bit. and it will be important to see how people do, you know, particularly look for the 2nd place finisher here, because they can gain a lot of momentum. obviously donald trump has a wide margin in the overall polls in iowa. so the expectation is that he will take iowa, but that fight between nikki haley and rhonda santas is one that you really want to keep an eye on. particularly as you had supporting the hampshire where the hampshire is a much more competitive race overall. it's going to be really impacted today by the weather as well. and so you have frigid temperatures and a fiery politics that are happening with lots of you know, barbs back and forth between the candidates. you have donald trump going after the deck. what robert swami for the 1st time, really in this campaign this week. and then now you have really direct attacks from

long to say that it's a going, it's trump saying it's not about america 1st, it's about donald trump 1st. and that's the campaign that donald trump is running is a really tough comments, and we'll see which uh, which caucus goers break the store. okay, fabi, part of the success you said it's bringing, i'll shut his site and then so the old trump does seem to be able to shrug off all the various criminal indictments against him. and financial accusations is impregnable as well. he hasn't really struck them off. he's going to court over them almost as we speak. so with foreign governments, i'm over 90 different charges. there is still much more or less for donald trump have to endure. and as these indictments get headed down or is his convictions potentially getting handed down, we may see donald trump's support continue or begin to the road. the tricky thing here though is the building is already started clearly from the republicans, so they're choosing their candidate. they could end up with a candidate that is

a convicted felon. months ago, during one of the debates, a question was asked and only one candidate chris christie answered us and the negative need said if, if donald trump ends up becoming a felon, would you end up supporting and all the candidates that are left running right now in iowa, so that they would support him. the problem for the republicans is one of their own making, but it's certainly one that donald trump is in the center of. okay, james davis, is it just about to winning the state in i where it was, it also the scale of the win matches a yeah, it was proportional and that's a delicate calculation. so there might not be a big difference between the 1st or 2nd or 2nd and 3rd place in terms of the don't get allocation. if you look back to the previous selection and you know, and if you go back to 2016 where you have ted cruz who one iowa and i think you got 7 delegates and donald trump got 6 delegates and 2nd place. so that's, i mean it's not

a big difference overall in the delegate count necessarily. the big thing is the momentum you get from all the media hits that you would get from exceeding expectations for under performing. but if you don't do well here, you know, if you're, if you're rhonda scientists and you put a ton of money into iowa and you finish in a distant 3rd, that's a big deal. if you spanish and 2nd, a strong 2nd, then i think you know, his campaign moves on for other folks likely that were on the swanny. i think those folks wanted losing any momentum in a village. it really can be found going forward and less. they had some sort of surprise shad hassan with talking about the candidates then from a democratic points of view. who would be the candidate that joe biden would want to face? that seems to be dividing. seems pretty confident about any of that. any of the candidates put up against them? i already mentioned the troubles that donald trump already has. on top of that, his strategy is to divide people against each other. so this is

a strategy that did not work for donald trump the last time around. remember that if trump wins the nomination, then it's a rematch and bite and one over trump already $7000000.00 votes over trump. so i, i don't think the buy it and is as worried about trump as it could be with the rest of the field. the rest of the field doesn't seem anywhere close to getting to trump things davis. all right, well, hasn't always predicted the eventual party normally has that. you think of nick, how could be 2008 run pull 2012. ted cruz. you mentioned the yeah. so it was too much emphasis being given to iowa. no, i think it's, it's one of those things that it's just at the old the, the ongoing speculation about of the, the campaigns going forward and, you know, to go back a bit to answer our, our sides. a questionnaire. if i may, it's clear that i would much rather face off against donald trump, although the polls show that even that's neck and neck for, for uh,

joe biden. and so nikki haley has a combining weight in every poll and every head on head pull, she sweep some across the board across the swing states. i mean, we would see just mass of winds. if republicans move forward with a nikki haley candidacy over a, you know, a donald trump candidacy. we'll see what they did showed her so, and it's donald trump wins big head though. how do the democrats stop the trump junk in the old house? it was a holiday truck not, not yet. anyway, i just wanted to see about that. the trump campaign and the republican national party do not have the same kind of fundraising advantage that they did 4 years ago . and remember, again, 4 years ago they didn't win. a numbers just came out and about the money that the different candidates have raised in the last quarter. the last year and the democratic party and the democratic candidate job by the end, the hastily outrage, the republican party. what a now the republican party has very little money on hand. a lot of that, in fact,

has been spent on trumps legal bills and legal battles. this jargon odd is not the same drug or not that we have used to seeing or used to sort of assuming about trump in the past. now a lot of things can happen in now in the next few months. the republicans obviously still have to do their nominating contests. a lot can happen. and even just a few weeks, i would look at the polls necessarily as an indicator this far out. they haven't really ever indicated anything. if you take a look at 4 years ago, you wouldn't have been able to predict what would happen in this match up. so i wouldn't do that now. instead, there are very real tangible things to look at fundraising numbers, as i mentioned, for example, past electronic performance and other smaller and past races. and those all point in a good direction for joe biden. i don't think anyone should really take anything for granted. it'll be a tough fight, but i don't think that the, the democrats are biting quite as quite as much in a pickle as,

as we. so i think we are. all right. all right. we're going to have to leave it. they were asked if i lost all tests out in james davis. thank you, but it's very much indeed for joining us here. or i'll just take it to the c ons group as hits a us own cargo ship off the coast of human closing. minimal damage. no injuries were reported on board that you brought to eagle logic continued on its journey. when it comes off to us and british forces count out dozens of strikes on who's the targets in yemen. in a statement, the who is the said, that's all american and british ships involved in a tax on germany, territory are considered hostile targets, might kind of has more from washington dc. the news of the incidents was 1st reported by the united kingdom, a maritime trade operations, which issued a message in the early morning saying that the mazda of

a vessel had reported that he had been struck by a messiah from above. the vessel and crew are safe the vessel proceeding to the next port of call. now, a few hours later, the whole incident was confirmed by us central combined, which confirmed that they had been no injuries and that the vessel was carrying on . but central combined also reported a not the incident that had occurred earlier. this a massage applied at a us destroyer, which was destroyed mid flight by a us find to aircraft. so a number of incidents in the red sea of the recent hours. and very importantly, this is off to the us and the u. k. a taxable then 60 bases, they say in parts of human control by the who, the militants, this is to be a response to those attacks. now, over the weekend, us intelligence sources said that they believe that the who to use retains some 75

percent of the operational capacity to launch missiles and drones and the events. so the recent oz would appear to bear this out. now us, president biden has pledged that they will be a response. should the tax on shipping in the red c continue? well, he's being at martin luther king, celebrations.
