on behalf of the government and the people of iran. she says attack was one of the worst on the u.s. diplomatic mission in years and it is further escalated tensions between washington and tehran and already difficult relationship. passion mckidd is covering this story from baghdad and joins us on the line welcome to d.w.t. pascha what's the situation in 100 around the embassy compound now. things have quieted down somewhat as you said the protesters have withdrawn after receiving a command from some of the militia leaders telling them. there are a few people said they want to stay longer but overall things have quieted the u.s. says it is now deploying troops to guard the embassy how is that likely to affect the situation. i think we're you know currently in a situation where it seems like the tensions between the u.s. and iran are not going to go away any time soon and the u.s. bringing in more troops to iraq. is not going to do anything to calm those tensions

so it's more troops arrive what do you expect to happen. xpect it will probably most likely it will cause some anger among some of these same militia groups many of whom are iranian backed and have been demanding for u.s. troops to leave iraq completely not bring in more people iraq has been struggling with protests for months now we see these attacks on the u.s. embassy but what we're talking about 2 different sets of people with different grievances only. you know we're talking about 2 entirely different sets of people the protesters who've been into her square for months are mostly young people who have been demanding you know that the current government leave office and you know have been standing against what they say is corruption from political elites and

many of them have actually backlash from some of these people who want to protest at the u.s. embassy who many of whom are supporters from iranian backed militia groups and were responding specifically to the attacks on militia military bases executed by the u.s. a few days ago the people in darfur square i would say mostly you know are were not the people in front of the embassy those were people who you know would say that they don't want it on the end or u.s. influence in iraq many of them have expressed strongly and iranian sentiment so given. that those 2 different sets of demands where is the iranian government on this this current spot between the 2 countries. i mean the iranian government was in terms of the protesters in tahrir square the iranian government i think it was pretty clearly you know against them that you know 1st group of people because they were asking for the removal of many of the politicians

that have been backed and supported by iran in terms of their position on the recent attacks between the u.s. and iran you know they're very clearly have been saying that this is a violation of human rights and the u.s. leave it on. who told you thanks for joining us oppression in baghdad let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he will seek parliamentary immunity from corruption charges the move is likely to protect him from prosecution while he remains in office he was indicted in november on charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust. the losing candidate said they run a vote for guinea-bissau presidency he says he will contest the results with the country's supreme court during goes a similar as a para told supporters in the west african nation of

chaotic scenes as riot police deployed the tear gas and water cannons against hardline protesters broken off from the main group about 400 arrests were made. it was the 1st authorized protest in several months and to hundreds of thousands of people. in recent weeks it's been mainly a smaller number of committed demonstrators on the streets but wednesday's march shows there is still significant public support for the pro-democracy movement. i hope this march can reunify every want to come out and protest by itself it is a time for us together today here again and here to tell the world that we haven't given up yet how much money you have with each on the ground and by sheer force of numbers we'll show the government how many of us is still going to fight for freedom with. the rally was largely peaceful but then

a small number of protesters begun vandalizing local businesses. police responded with tear gas and water cannon and told organizers to end the march the vast majority soon fled leaving only a few 100 protesters to face off with the police as night fell the offices made around 400 arrests police were at pains to point out that they did not use for some peaceful demonstrations. unfortunately again rioters hijacked the procession today which resulted in the decision for the police to end a procession but organizers will want to focus on the huge turnout earlier in the day showing support for their cause. in hong kong and sent us this update. protesters have made clear that they are planning to continue their protests in 202-2020 is an election year the legislative

for the united states to change its attitude and also to restart its development of nuclear and missile technologies so how seriously is the u.s. and indeed the international community taking this talk of a new strategic weapon in the near future. well given what north korea has done over the past few months in in 2019 restarting its short range missile testing and also a new weapon was tested there potentially a submarine launched ballistic missile that has a sort of caught in the international community and analysts but i surprise and is raising concern here in south korea kim's comments were greeted with kind of disappointment as lead like to see and gauge went restarted with north korea. kim also said that i mean you clear test would depend on the u.s. is attitude so does this sound like the door is still open. yes the door is
