5:15 pm
christian community to stay and not leave. but the prospect is serious and that's why the pope is really daring not only the rockets that fall on baghdad, and covid as well, but history. iraq has a history of once having a thriving jewish community that they were forced out of iraq. in the 1940's, they were a vibrant community. they were middle-class, upper-class. and that community has completely vanished. so, it's very possible for the christian community to vanish. other minorities to vanish. and isis did want to achieve that, so it takes a push and a pull, and a quest and a plea to the community to stay, but also a demand of the iraqi government and the authority to make preserving christianity of iraq a priority. >> saturday's meeting with the grand ayatollah, has a very

5:17 pm
unspoken rivalry for which one represents the center of shia islam. the model that he is also setting for his successor is not one of tolerance. there's a significant message there. i don't assume there will be any speeches presented or given. definitely, they said there will be any papers or documents signed, but the symbolism is going to speak volumes. >> interesting to see what happens late in the day. thank you for joining us from washington, d.c. >> thank you. anchor: still ahead on al jazeera, a controversial and drawn out case of witness tampering. charges against a former president could be dropped. >> we're going to fly. anchor: coronavirus can delay world cup qualifiers to top
