a shrine areas of the biggest room in iran and but behind me in the golden dome is where the late amman rest so close and saw him on his body will be coming here is very significant news a highly revered loved general and many people we've spoken to even on our way here are from that are on they said that they just can't believe he was gone. u.s. president all ciampa sent a series of tweets warning iran against taking any retaliates or reaction for the killing of solomonic trump says his country will hit 52 iranian sites if iran targets americans. well earlier there were several rockets attacks across iraq targets included baghdad's heavily fortified green zone and iraqi airports where there are u.s. troops stationed a kenyan military base which is also used by american forces has come under attack the base is located in lamu county and the site is known as camp simba has claimed responsibility for vats attack but there's no word yet on the number of casualties libya's health ministry says at least 30 people have been killed after an airstrike by forces loyal to warlord after it's targe

it's an approach ingrained in amman's institutions and unlikely to change under a new leadership. was the quintessential elder statesman a rare voice of reason who throughout his public life held the middle ground in an increasingly polarized middle east and omani seem confident their new sultan is the right choice to keep it that way. in the eastern mediterranean there's a scramble for natural resources under the waves cyprus wants to become a regional gas player but the island's divided status is complicating matters plans to drill for newly discovered reserves of anger at the republic of northern cyprus while it's back at turkey is increasingly asserting itself in the region as well or a challenge reports on the south coast of cyprus an oil terminal waits expectantly out in the eastern mediterranean there's gas early last year exxon mobil found a big reserves in cypriot waters if they're pumped the t.t. ies energy hub here could get a big gas boost cyprus certainly will at least part of it but not the self declared republic of northern cyprus recognised only by turkey its forei

story of importance, the first timea media story of importance, the first time a woman had beaten ammanhips. it was a pivotal moment for fallon sherrock and one week changed her life completely and whether she lasts more than 12 months is a subject of conversation. whether she survives for 12 years is about her work and ability. we are feasting on a story that has put darts on everyone‘s lips. he mentioned the amateur side of darts and the bdo has had to cut prize money for its version of the championship. what are your thoughts on the way that has gone? they are not good at what they do. there is no doubt that this applies to many amateur governing bodies. there is no doubt they love the sport but there is another level to go to. loving the sport is fine but unless you can provide opportunities that change lives of sportsmen and women, your sport is never going to be perceived as upwardly mobile. i'm disappointed to see it because they do have a role to play within grassroots but it is a role that they must undertake and understand without trying to be something that they are not, and

hundreds of people have protested in any of the capital bandura at amman in justice for victims of sweeping abuses committed under the former dictator yeah jamey fled the country in 2017 after a ruling the $22.00 d. is protest to say that he should be returned from exile to face justice. in chile protesters took to the. to mark the 100th day of social unrest in the capital santiago police used water cannon to clear the demonstrators at least 27 people have died in the protests driven by anger over inequality and high living costs. millions of hindus have gathered in northern india for a cleansing ritual in the ganges river as part of the mega millions set of ration the monthlong festival attracts millions of believe us and tourists every year. we're in turkey the death toll has risen to at least 29 people with nearly 1500 injured following a powerful earthquake in these to the country the quake struck near the town of about 550 kilometers east of the capital ankara it was followed by dozens of office shocks some of them almost as strong as the a nissho quake itself where rescue teams are no

jon: and shimano hall live from amman jordan tonight. with i run swearing revenge for solum on his death, the focus is now on the regime's military strike. a recent resort report from the defense department described the missile forces as the largest in the middle east. >> a recent report by the pentagon i runs military relies on three core capabilities. ballistic missiles, it's navy, and unconventional capabilities. it makes up for a modern air force with the largest and most diverse ballistic arsenal in the middle east. including more than 2000 miscible capable of reaching targets anywhere in the region. and i emphasize region because i run has not developed the accuracy and reliability for those missiles to be much of a decisive threat. it's navy however is a proven threat to the world oil supply. as recent attacks on oil tankers have shown. in four years ago the revolutionary guard carried an american navy vessel with soldiers on board. in terms of its unconventional capabilities, iran has no shortage of military issues. easily and r

liz: greg palkot in amman, jordan. thanks so much for joining us.iran as greg was just reporting. street protests growing on news a new video shows a ukraine was hit by two missiles fired by iran's military 30 seconds apart. no reaction from canada's justin trudeau yesterday. he blamed president trump for iran's shoot-down of that plane that killed 176 people including 57 canadians. social media posts in iran now call for even more street protests. welcome my next guest. heritage foundation center for freedom director nile gardiner. great to see you, your reaction, your reaction to all of these stories? >> so many stories on the iran and iraq front. starting with iraq. i think it is very significant of course that the united states is resuming military exercises with iraqi forces. let's not forget when iraq's parliament held this vote to remove u.s. forces, it was a symbolic vote, nearly half of the parliament boycotted the vote all together. so i think we're back to normal relations now with the united states, leading the efforts to counter any res

connell: benjamin hall live in amman, jordan. melissa.here so react, james freeman from "the wall street journal." he is fox news contributor. james, you see iranians to sit down to do this calm interview, as opposed to lobbing bombs in our direction. it seems like it's a change in strategy for them. what do you make of that? >> yeah. it is possible they will wisely decide that a fight with the night is not in their interests. president has made clear he doesn't want war with iran. he doesn't want to invade and seek regime change. he wants them to basically stop funding terror and threatening their neighbors. that has been pretty consist 10 in terms of the sanctions policy. works well in terms of impact on the economy. this latest attack on soleimani i think was justified given the recent attacks funded by iran. melissa: now so many takes on these pictures we're looking at here on this screen. of course, it was just last week we were talking about all of the insurrection within iran. people rising up against, as you know, they are starvin

susan: benjamin hall, amman, jordan.nthaller of the foreign relations committee. iran still denying fact it may have been one of their surface-to-air craft missiles and refusing to hand over the black boxes. as you hear from the pentagon and various intelligence sources saying iran may have inadvertently shot down the plane. >> i don't want to speculate but this shows you what we're dealing with. that is a country that is not good at symmetric warfare. they might be good with asymmetric warfare, planting roadside bombs, storing embassies in the guise of shia militia groups, when it comes to actual battle with the united states, shows you how unprepared they would be, the kind of a force with a symmetric battle. susan: what do you think of the democrats reaction? because tonight on the house floor they passed this non-binding, mostly symbolic war powers resolution that would limit what president trump can do further with iran without congressional approval? >> i think this is absolutely disgusting. i heard some people say
