attack saved american lives and further said that washington remains committed all that said to deescalating tensions with tehran. that was the time to take this action so that we could disrupt this plot deter further aggression from crossing the iranian regime as well as to attempt to deescalate the situation. so this is early morning raid also reportedly killed 9 others including influential iraqi and lebanese shia militias soldiers there believed to be leaving the airport in 2 vehicles when those strikes took place her service of the money lead the powerful could force the branch of the iranian revolutionary guard corps charged with spearheading foreign operations the units been heavily involved in the conflicts in iraq and syria and instrumental in the territorial defeat of i still do know in the us the general though all that said was listed as a terrorist the pentagon says he was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of american service personnel and was actively planning further attacks around

leaderships reacted furiously to the assassination which was ordered direct by president trump and promised there will be retribution. the us act of international terrorism targeting and assassinating general saloon money the most effective force fighting dying isis al qaeda and al is extremely dangerous and a foolish escalation the u.s. bears responsibility for all consequences of its rogue adventurism just as unprecedented in how how tense things are how both countries in this is this is the abbotts this is the abas to kill assassinate the man who is referred to as the 2nd most powerful man in iran a potential successor to the supreme leader he was killed after arriving at the airport in baghdad the u.s. airstrike he would see was targeted i mean this operation was preplanned they knew he was coming they knew where to strike the they were targeting him at the

direction of the president the u.s. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect u.s. personnel abroad by killing qassam soleimani this strike was aimed at deterring future iranian attack plans the united states will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests were. every day you are around the world and the fallout has been google you type leaders all over the world officials come out. against you you know urging calm and deescalation and the reunions convening the national security council they have one message the entire ringing and hierarchy that there will be consequences retaliation there is as of yet no indication how exactly the iranians will respond to it respond to this but they haven't launched any missiles yet and you know the they are stupid they're intelligent people they probably understand a war with the united states is the last thing they need but i doubt that the leave

this you know without without an ounce and so how is the u.s. justifying the may well the united states is saying that he was the ultimate bad guy this is this is from the state department this is in american press that we just killed the world's number one bad guy this is this is simpson in modeling he was at the forefront of the fight against isis in iraq when it seemed like isis the jihad this would go to take the whole country was he who helped organize the p.m.s. the popular mobilization forces iraqi civilians banding together to resist ties and successfully while the army was in shambles as they got their things in order help by the coalition but they defeated isis what the united states has been saying is that he is responsible for the deaths of 517 americans over the years that he was complicit that he had

a rule to play in recent in the recent spate of attacks on u.s. bases. draw some indications that they may be planning additional attacks if that happens and then we act and by the way we get word of attacks or some type of indication we'll take preemptive action as well to protect american forces to protect american lives. they disregard sovereignty did this work are the government they disregard the people of iraq their their utter arrogant behavior is has made the whole

region outraged and then they wonder why people hate america but wasn't for a general soleimani there probably wouldn't be a syria today and there would be black flags over them ask us thanks to the united states and its allies and if it wasn't for general stolen money probably there wouldn't be in iraq today and the capital over the capital we would have had the black flags of isis iraqis except for those bathurst who supported saddam hussein in isis supporters who are celebrating the overwhelming majority of iraqis supports general saleh money and are grateful to him for helping save the country wherever the united states goes and destroys its all for its all to defend democracy and freedom and the american people which is all nonsense so the immediate ramifications as it stands so far today the u.s. is now urging american citizens to leave iraq immediately or not to approach the embassy in baghdad to secure green zone with the american embassy and iraqi

government is located in a lockdown right now it has been all day but one pump air again believes the strikes he says were largely welcomed in iraq. iraqis iraqis dancing in the street for freedom thanks to the general silliman is no more the only care we had on american. iran should solve their problems outside iraq we do not want them to solve it here we do not celebrate the killing or so the money or anyone else because this will not serve us at the end of the day. over in iran were so the money was widely repeated the assassinations triggered an outpouring of grief and anger $3.00 days of mourning have been announced and photos of iranians of turned out in cities across the country to all of the general was paula slayer reports next the u.s. assault has polarized opinion around the world to today. we've witnessed reaction from the international community and particularly here in the region the concern is that the american actions will destabilize the situation there is

a lot of criticism being leveled at the united states 2 key has accused the american president of destabilizing the middle east a view that is being echoed by syria that also says that this will only fuel the conflict and the leader of the iran backed his group that is based in lebanon has called for the resistance the world over to avenge the killing and at the same time and now the reigning back in the gaza strip has expressed its condolences to tehran and as for the iraqi government they have accused the americans also to quote aggression that they say will lead to a devastating war the assassination of an iraqi military commander is an aggression on iraq as a state government and people it's a flagrant violation of iraq's sovereignty and dangerous escalation that triggers a destructive war in iraq the region and the world it violates the conditions authorizing the presence of u.s. troops on iraqi soil. cowardly u.s. aggression will only strengthen determination to follow in the path of the

resistance is martyred leaders right now here in tel aviv the top defense officials of israel all holding an emergency meeting the israeli army has been put on high alert particularly along the borders in the north and the south and that is out of concern that there could be some kind of reaction from other hamas or hizbullah talking to israel. on the ground many fear that there will be a reaction the question is just when and what form it will take having said all of that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has welcomed the attack and praised the american president donald trump president roh deserves all the credit for acting swiftly forcefully the sides of israel starts with the united states in its just struggle with bruce security and so perhaps the american action was a reaction to a series of military provocations for which iran is responsible we also see with great concern to around 60 of it is in the region was done before then dress escalation the reaction from european leaders has been more moderate not despite

the concern being expressed that this will destabilize the region no one has been bold enough to really come straight out and criticize the american president nato has said that it is monitoring the situation closely with a particular eye on its training mission in iraq so as you can actually determine the region and indeed the international community very concerned about what has happened we really are pretty old political analysts who believes that this strike the way it was authorized shows that america is a state he says is not a democracy. iraq was not warned congress was not consulted. this was this was trump and his neocon people more than likely mr cushman mr netanyahu who run mr trump essentially you know alongside compay are now the sort of officially you know no longer formally as part of the administration mr bolton because if you examine what's going on online you see these people posting messages of joy now even if

they don't like them so they money what they seem to not understand the ramifications of what they have done this move has united the iranian people it has really united the iraqi people the syrians the yemeni lebanon on the palestinian movement it's united everyone against america sound of death to america is getting louder and louder and louder and there's nothing america can do about it this is by its own hand by its own activity. in the wake of the strikes over the us reaction that side republican lawmakers have expressed support for the decision but many democrats are fear yes maybe not surprisingly though the that the president took such a hazardous step without they say seeking congressional approval 1st. that ministration has conducted tonight strike in iraq targeting high level iranian military officials and killing iranian quds force commander some silly money without another

3rd is ation for use of military force against iran further this action was taken without the consultation of the congress. actually do what they did today and the previous airstrikes before the assassination of general patton for a money is a violation to 1st of all not only to the international law but also to the american constitution and access a nation at this big and this is an important person and the region that will lead the whole world the whole region the war no he needs. the approval of the congress and he did not approve he did not have it so he did that violate the american constitution and i do think the american democratic party will use that against him in congress then there should be an investigation in the united states for who took the decision why when and where and trump should be punished because he did.

break the constitution and this is not the 1st time. right france now live pictures because this is very much a live situation although the actual event itself is over police on the scene of what you can see if you solve a stabbing earlier on in paris roundabout 7 kilometers to the south of the center french police say one person was killed earlier on but 3 hours ago and 2 others wounded in a knife attack in a suburb close to the sense of the offices of shot dead the assailant who is said to have attacked passers by around then shot depends keys in the french capital forest charlotte shocking again. what we saw in london bridge late last year doesn't a guy with maybe some sort of belt on his was described as. having some sort of belt on take us through won't want to topple it today as you know it so far. what we know so far is that this attack took place in which is in the south just

outside the country think in paris and to the south of the city took place at around 2 o'clock local time in appalled now what we understand from eyewitness accounts is that the attacker was wearing a traditional islamic. and screamed out the woods. as he attempted to stop passes by now we understand that one person has been killed as a result of that attack he's been named in the french media as being in his fifty's and this being the local man of the area they calling him. and they say that he died as he was trying to stop that man attacking his wife in the park we also understand that there are individuals. out there now having their injuries assessed in hospital and treated for those injuries but we don't know how severe those injuries are also 3 people attacked in not talking one person dead 2 people having

their injuries assessed at the moment now we know that the assailant then fled the scene was chased by the police the police then will later able to neutralize him with what we understand with 3 short so the attacker is now dead camera surveillance cameras in the area suggest that he was acting alone however the police are trying to verify that to ensure that there is nobody else involved in this attack in terms of planning it or intending to carry out any other attacks in the area we know that the secretary of state for the minister of the interior nor newness is already being to the area as to has the anti terrorist prosecutor's office they've made a visit to assess what's happening on the scene to talk to those eyewitnesses account about those woods of course about the to. that was apparently being worn by the man when he carried out this attack also some other information we had is when the news of this attack was breaking supermarkets in the area actually batten down

the hatches they closed all of their customers in keeping them in in a bid to keep them safe for us some of those customers having to wait for several hours to get clear from the police to be able to leave now this is of course the latest in the string of knife attacks and the wolf attacks as you describe it that obviously we're still waiting for the police to confirm that that is the case but this is the latest in a series of tax haven fronts particularly here in paris just think back to last october when we had 4 people who were killed at. the paris police office by one of their own colleagues an attack at the time it was described as a moment of madness we later found out that that was being treated as a terror attack because the individual michael help on is said to have been radicalized but for the moment this latest attack in the south of paris and one person dead he's been named as a local man. by french media others

receiving treatment for their injuries and the police of course monitoring the situation and trying to find out exactly what provoked this attack. get more throughout the evening come back to us let us know what the police are saying as investigation continues from paris tonight thanks from. the headline several countries have condemned the turkish parliament decision to send troops to libya israel greece and cyprus now voicing their concern over a possible escalation of the conflict in the region calling turkey's plugs reckless . the turkey's decision to deploy troops in libya presents a dangerous threat to regional stability the repercussions of such reckless move will be dire for the stability and peace of the entire region seems at a phone call with the turkish leader the us president also raised concerns that foreign interference could further complicate the situation in libya though also

seems the 2 did agree to maintain their diplomatic cooperation going forward multiple forces have been vying for power in libya of late since the ousting of longtime leader moammar gadhafi back in 2011 there's the u.s. government of national accord control in the capital tripoli along with some coastal areas in the west of the country then it's rival the self-styled libyan national army headed by general khalifa haftar holding large swathes in eastern and central libya there's a 3rd region controlled by local tribes militias the government formally requested military aid from turkey last month in the face of onslaught by have to us forces libya's neighbors of also voiced their concern about major reservations over the troop deployment plans now from turkey egypt calling on the international community to respond urgently we've been hearing analysis from turkey and beyond on chris move and it's possible repercussions. we see a very soft announcement by the arab league we can see that they're unified only by

name we're seeing turkey become more and more now the major player in not only libya in the north africa and the east and the middle east turkey's showing that it's not going to shy away and present add one is willing to use his military muscle to get the results he wants at the diplomatic table as well turkey made a very important chess move. greeks. egyptians. of course are very disappointed by this decision. turkey's strategic move will. bring some. advantages strategic advantages for turkey we will see the method the manner of how turkey is dealing with this problem and challenges in the coming days if turkey sent more troops then general haftar will also get more support from the governments he's already there are already back including and especially egypt the united arab emirates they will send

their own proxies or troops or more weapons so in that sense the situation could definitely escalate in a military sense. don't forget you can keep up with all our stories all the news breaking stuff about you know common of social media as we go into a new year nice time to look back at some of the headlines of 2019 although often they were not very pleasant let's take a moment again to take stock of some of the defining events of 2019. and surely this was one of them in april that blaze tore through not true duncan phaedra in paris destroying the 850 year old landmark devastating for the building and also for so many live in that city should have been ski again reporting on just how deeply that was felt in france and how the scars will remain for decades to come. fronts was shaking to its core in april fully

a ravaged the jewel of paris not to dom.

across the world they was show too with blanket coverage over the place and harry in paris thousands came out to the streets standing shoulder to shoulder what ching they centuries old cathedral. my heart just dropped like. are you kidding me it was completely shocking and i was just constantly like ok that what he would say the tears everything just complete just. just refreshing causally looking for

any sort of update and i thought it was gone i thought there was no way you know they were going to put it out at all with. everyone at work we just kept refreshing the page and seeing what caused it what had happened we couldn't believe that notre dame was on fire we were at home in seattle and we had literally booked our plane tickets to france the night before and was going to be one of the highlights of course it was it was a little bit of a blow really came in the early hours that it could be saved but it was. that cost was being counted with a price tag potentially reaching billions of euros money poured in from wealthy benefactors and people chipping in what they could but that provoked anger itself many frustrated that the money was so forthcoming for a building when people were struggling to make ends meet the outrage intensified

when the authorities were accused of not being completely upfront about lead contamination in the area following the fire some 450 tons of lead in the roof and the steeple melted during the blaze schools were closed for decontamination but many accuse the state of pushing the reconstruction of the cathedral ahead of people's health and environmental defense association decided to take matters into its own hands it to accuse the authorities of having lacked in their response and in transparency it is a question of establishing who is responsible for this miscommunication which has left the population uninformed on the dangers to which it is exposed in our opinion people's lives have been in danger since the night of the disaster because the environmental code requires elected officials to provide precautionary information in real time on public airwaves unfortunately. we never heard this advice and

people and journalists stayed around the cathedral on the forecourt and whole families stayed on the ground on the terraces with all the windows open watching this disturbing show without knowing that the plumes hitting them consisted of extremely toxic lead dust and went dangerous to health but officials claimed there was no risk and somewhat angry about the coverage of the contamination at the site saying that all old buildings were built using leds and there was too much fear mongering don't. you really have to lie on the ground in the lake and if you want to be in fact in this story about lead has been around for a long time and it's causing inundation a problem for the not true don disturb those isolated knocking down from the tourists travel agents across the world were forbidden in a certain way to come to paris because of the risk of contamination which didn't exist 8 months old and this is what surrounds. a huge perimeter

fence safeguarding the site's tourist numbers through here though more of a trickle than the flood that they used to be and that has hit the businesses around the cathedral halt to at least we have lost tourists we have lost the pilgrims we have problems with the restoration work or not and with the level of security that is because the building is still not secure and we suffer from all these houses the businesses here have seen their sales figures drop at least by 80 percent during certain periods currently the month of december average 70 percent trade is hey want to return to the status quo but the work to secure this so i can restore it to its former glory is expected to take years in the meantime some businesses fear that they may end up on the cheap too just like much of not in 2019. paris shot of the take this role the twist into. as

a friends over the last year and can offer again today by the looks of it thank you for watching this program if you want to keep up to date with any more of on the. social media kevin o. inciting all fun let you know that you didn't see it in the coming hours but we had a run about 32 minutes this is. international. league.

cannot remember how many times a young female marine that had been raped or sexually assaulted told me that she looked at these guys as your brother or the suspect as your brother it's a kin to what happens in a family with incest because you know in the military when we're functioning at our best coach he said of unit with brothers and sisters one of the band of brothers and sisters i mean we are family when that ball and of trust is violated. the wound penetrates to the very most inner part of one's soul one psyche. i have this full.
