to put american lives at risk more u.s. troops already on their way to the middle east but tensions with iran have also thrown the u.s. military presence in iraq into question there was confusion after a leaks letter from the u.s. defense department appear to suggest an imminent withdrawal of american troops from iraq the pentagon says the unsigned letter was a draft and a mistake and there was no decision to leave the country the white house says that in life was considered a danger to america in death many and now wondering whether he has become an even greater threat. let's get the latest now with our washington correspondent. abo there are international calls to deescalate the tension between these 2 nations is there any sign now that the trump administration will listen to those calls.

hi carl well it was very interesting to see exactly what president trump was saying here in washington on choose day speaking alongside the greek prime minister at the white house this afternoon he said once again the killing of the iranian commander some solo money saved a lot of lives he went on to call him a monster he said that soleimani was planning a big attack he said they were planning something and you're going to be hearing about it or at least various people in congress are going to be hearing about it tomorrow he also called it retaliate they were very strong words obviously from president trump but if we look at what u.s. defense secretary marc esper had to say he said that he wants a disk the escalation in tensions with iran he said that the country's ready to finish any war that could be started now disclose at the same time that the u.s. reportedly denied the rainy and foreign minister serif a visa and entry which actually is a breach of an agreement guaranteeing foreign officials access to un headquarters

of course in new york now u.s. president of course president donald trump spoke with the german chancellor angela merkel also on the phone and they spoke of course about this surge and tensions between the u.s. and iran and in the general region germany has been very keen as you know many of the european allies have been very keen to deescalate the tensions in the region and she spoke with him over the phone that was confirmed by actually germany not by the united states it wasn't mentioned by president trump that they discussed iran and the e.u. we mustn't forget has called for an extraordinary meeting a foreign ministers later this week well speaking of germany there are german troops in iraq nato allies of more troops there the u.s. of course has more than 5000 do we have any more clarity on those troops in iraq do

we know will they stay will they go. well it was you know once again it's you have to kind of stumbled back and look at this because the president also addressed the issue of the troops in the region he said the u.s. withdrawal of troops would be the worst thing for the country he also said that this isn't the right point and he also with regards to earlier threats to hit iraq with sanctions if they told the u.s. to remove their troops or that they if they ordered their troops to leave the country he said that they would only do this if the u.s. were not were treated with respect now also with regards to this letter of the which was sent by the commander of the u.s. task force in iraq with regards that was sent to the iraqi his iraqi counterpart on monday the u.s. defense secretary mark asper clarified here in the united states that there were no plans for american troops to leave iraq and also if we bring in the iraqi prime

minister he said that it shows that the united states has no alternative and must pull its troops out of the country. on the story for us from washington thank you very much are the check now of some of the stories making news around the world tensions in the middle east are increasing and russia's vladimir putin has paid a surprise visit to syria's capital damascus for talks with president bashar al assad russia has been propping up assad's regime in the country's civil war. new satellite images show the smoke from massive bushfires in australia has now made it all the way to argentina that's more than 11000 kilometers away the fires have killed at least 25 people and millions of animals in australia who live whether it's bringing some relief but another he played is due later this week. in this way the opposition leader one why door has been sworn in for another term as

parliamentary speaker that followed a tense standoff with security forces who tried to stop him from entering the building i don't need the opposition to president nicolas maduro who attempted to seize control of the national assembly on sunday. in spain a socialist party leader pedro sanchez will remain prime minister after surviving a confidence vote in parliament by a tiny to vote margin he will try now to assemble a minority coalition government with the left wing daimones party the vote ends a long political stalemate that included 2 inconclusive elections last year i've got to doubt though don't bet on sanctions better that's the point she said victory socialist paper sanchez one and narrow vote in the spanish parliament he was reelected by a 2 point may not have together with the left wing alliance put their most sanchez can now form spain's 1st coalition government since the end of the franco dictatorship this is only possible because the catalan separatist e.c.

party abstained sanchez just to find the cooperation. the only option is either this progressive coalition or the continued political blockade in spain. right when demonstrators protested outside parliament they accused sanchez of betraying spanish unity the tone is just as aggressive inside parliament the opposition accuses sanchez of lying because he had ruled out an alliance with today most and co-operation with separatists before the vote if sanchez fulfills the demands of these anti establishment parties he risks threatening spanish wanted enough but if he doesn't want to lose their support. spain's new coalition government hopes to push through a decidedly left wing policy increasing the minimum wage and taxes for higher earners but given its lack of a clear majority is likely to face intense political pressure by rightwing opponents. but it's been 5 years since islamist terrorists went on

a rampage against journalists at the french satirical magazine charlie abdo 12 people died in that attack for which al qaeda claimed responsibility it was the 1st in a series of deadly incidents over the next few years committed mostly by french foreign extremists. remembering the horrific events of 5 years ago. family members and callings of the victims marked the occasion with an emotional ceremony in paris among them some of the magazine staff members who were injured in the attack. on january 7th 2015 in front of charlie abdo his headquarters in paris. the. terrorist targeted the magazine after it published caricature is of the prophet mohammed it took less than 2 minutes for them to shoot dead 12 people and injure another 11 this was the 1st of
