presenting this this plan. but unfortunately i didn't see a chance for europe to replace us i would like to try and you attempt that probably together with us we can reach a continuation of that but we already do in the anti coalition and in this support fall for iraq we were on a good way and we should continue that and we should reach a situation where probably the iraqi government is accepting again with the american troops in the country and government can probably convince the parliament that under a new circumstances it is better to have them in the country and then not ok stephen hard to the foreign policy spokesperson for the c.d.u. the conservative party of german chancellor angela merkel mr hart we appreciate your time tonight in your insights thank you very much goodbye. well the latest

conflict between the u.s. and iran is playing out has we just heard on iraqi territory iraq has long been under the sway of both powers shiite muslims are in the majority in iraq just as they are in iran but the u.s. has a huge military presence in iraq current tensions are changing the dynamic in the region and u.s. influence in iraq could be the collateral damage. when a u.s. drone strike killed tehran's top military masterminds it didn't happen on iranian soil but in iraq the country was a target for general case seems silly money and iran in their master plan for the region to extend shiite power using proxies. like the shiite militia that attacked the u.s. embassy many of these militant groups came to prominence during the fight against so-called islamic state shiite iraqis trained in iran was central to defeating i-s.

and many of them took their orders from sort of money. iraqi lawmakers call out no to america iran's influence pervades iraq's political class too in the 28000 elections 45 form a shiite militia men won seats in parliament that election also made a deal of the prime minister he was long a member of a shiite party based in iran abdul mahdi resigned after mass anti government protests at the end of 2019 he remains acting prime minister but with the government on the verge of collapse protesters have been calling for a new political order one without corruption and sectarianism and without u.s. and iranian interference and merican soldiers ready to deploy to the middle east the position of the us in iraq has been shifting over the past decade in 2011 former u.s. president barack obama pulled u.s. troops out of the country declaring that the war in iraq was over 3 years later

they were back to fight i.a.s. this time on the invitation of the iraqi government. but now iraq's shiite majority parliament wants u.s. troops out washington says that's not happening iraqis know that if the americans leave so-called islamic state could take advantage of the resulting power vacuum and resurge and that's the situation no one wants. adding to the already volatile situation faults an unverified information about iran's missile attack on bases helsing us troops in iraq if that is being spread on social media to talk about that i'm joined here by my colleague peter burleigh doll he's been taking a closer look at this you know what can you tell us what is happening online or in the wake of these strikes we've. seen what can really only be described as a barrage of false information hitting social media particularly twitter and you know one of reasons people are just too trigger happy for lack of a better metaphor situations like this it's people like this who you know choose to

beat over accuracy and in this case vastly overstating the severity of the attack here falsely claiming that more than 60 missiles were fired 20 americans killed in actuality the number of missiles fired was closer to 15 maybe 20 tops and to the best of our knowledge no one was killed in the attack what we're also seeing though is what appears to be more deliberate attempts at spreading disinformation like this video we're about to see which falsely claims to show iranian rockets being fired at the air base and all aside when actually this video is from 2014 and shows a russian military drill. so that during daylight during daylight exactly you know what overnight attack it's interesting you talk about the speed because i was watching the coverage last night when the attacks took place and watching on what in social media it lit up like a christmas tree if you will absolutely and you're right people were tweeting

things that they weren't there where they could have been able to verify their tweeting information that reporters on the ground don't even have right i mean it's and that is really the danger of shared stuff like this you have this incredibly volatile situation distant from a show like this it's like fuel on the fire and it really makes a volatile situation even more combustible you know it can really have to change perceptions too because if you were only watching what was online on social media last night you would have thought that the 3rd world war was breaking out and that was not the case what can people do on social media then to detect and to be aware that this is going on one thing i can't stress enough especially in situations like this breaking news situation is be extra critical be extra careful before you. read tweet button before you hit that share button and ask yourself some really basic questions like what's the source that i'm about to share is it coming from an otherwise trustworthy news source or is it coming from you know at

10 for 606 are other outlets reporting similar fast similar numbers if not it's either a very schools of information is wrong and usually it's wrong so remember that if it looks or sounds too good to be true well it probably is what do you make of this is just in that on twitter for example every time we retrieve something that there should be something that prompts us to answer do we know the person that we are do we know them yes or no that we have to answer that question do you think that's a good idea. well it would certainly start with would certainly make our jobs and we would slow down the it was there a new cycle in i think an situation like this might that be the solution i don't know i know what. we certainly need to pump the brakes sometimes in situations like this. but it's not was a great example that yes. it's always be there we appreciate it thank you thanks much now to carlos go gone has given his 1st
