fully mature month mr nasrallah began his remarks this evening by stating that the death of possums in a money marked the beginning of a new era for the entire region and he also said that it was the beginning of a new war of a new type now i mr nasr went on to say that the killing of so they money was a open and brazen crime and he laid responsibility soley at the feet of u.s. president donald trump he then went on to list along a long list of failures that he called the president trumpet committed across this region spent a lot of time in his speech listing one by one what he called donald trump's failures across the region and then he said wade into what was the main point of his speech which was that u.s. military and u.s. military assets across the region would now become a target that they would be targeted and that they would pay the price for killing costs and so they money here's more of what mr nasrallah had to say about that point. i'm not a science a lot of the leadership and. many are debating how that just punishment should be how can we avenged for the death of sulaimani

soleimani, nasrallah is almost never seen in public, foi fear of lar strike by israel. f this type of assassina goes unpunished the region will be violated by the acans and the israel." ouide the hall, other supporters of hezbollah watched the speech in the street. ny here say sumeilami's killing will only harden them against america. >> ( translated ): trump is an idiot, because he has no idea what the repercussions of histi s are. he thinks his actions are going to weaken us? not at all. his actions have made us he has created 1,000 suleimani's, 1,000 muhandis, 1,000 nasrallahs. he is e one that has lost, not us. >> reporter: hezbollah is the rongest non-state fighti force in the middle east today-- iran's most deadly proxy force. they have been fighting for years in syria to pr up the regime, gaining invaluable experience alongside russian special forces. if there is a wider war in the region, then hezbollah will almost definitely be involved, much like suleimani was himself. >> sreenivasan: in caracas, venezuela today, national guard oops surrounded the legislature

meanwhile 11 and hizbollah leader hassan nasrallah warned the u.s. military will pay the price for surly ronnie's death saying it marks a new phase in the history of the middle east. i'll be clear there are sponsors is to target their merican military presence in the region their american military bases their vessels every american officer and soldier in our region and our countries on our soul their american army is the one who killed these people and they are the ones who will be paying the price. at least one u.s. soldier and 2 american military contractors have been killed in an attack on a kenyan army base the base known as camp simba is located in lamu county in southeastern kenya the armed group has claimed responsibility if they are sold many fighters from the group were reportedly killed. australian prime minister scott morrison has defended his leadership and his government's response to the australian bush trials larson is known for his skeptical views on climate change and was heavily criticised for taking a holiday during the crisis cool

military that killed soleimani, said nasrallah, and it will pay.ut he emphasized that american civilians would not be targeted. there's already been some political fallout from the assassination. iran has announced it's pretty 'sch withdrawing from the muclear deal and going back to enriching as much uranium as it mues. norah? >> o'donnell: all right. elizabeth in tehran tonight, llank you. we learned today that the white house will brief senators on wednesday about the intelligence that led to the strike on t leimani. as for the president, he has no regrets. weijia jiang reports tonight from the white house. >> reporter: back at the white white after his florida vacation, president trump today dismissed fears of a brewing ferld war and defended his decision to kill soleimani. >> he should have been taken out velong time ago, and we had a shot at it and we took him out. and we're a lot safer now because of it. >> reporter: the president has also not backed down from his threat to respond to further iranian aggression by targeting 52 iranian sites,

war in the region i think one of the more fascinating and telling things about the speech by mr nasrallah which lasted well over an hour is the fact that he continued to speak about it up that really seemed to be one of the main themes when it came to his remarks and many of his remarks lined up quite a bit with what prime minister caretaker prime minister i've got in mind the was telling parliament his speech was happening at the same time as mr nasr you had both leaders of both of these men urging. the u.s. to withdraw from iraq and this really seemed to suggest a very coordinated effort from iran for perhaps both of these men to be relaying this same type of message. at the moment in lebanon you have another crisis going on it's unclear how much exactly has both one sarette up tensions because hezbollah is is is involved in trying to form a government here this is a country that's on the verge of bankruptcy this is a country that has not had a government for quite a while now. and this is a very important time in lebanon where the prime minister designate is trying to put together a ca

so it's more or less dissimilar than the situation in syria and there is no civil war yet in the nasrallah so there are very fragile countries we have seen the situation in colombia a country that has been recovering form its own civil war conflict for the last decades and also you have a country like cruelest receive a 1000000 friends so this is not easy for them to cope with and most of the problem also comes with that some of them are or most of these migrants are rather poor so they are they need a lot of support for from state institutions and this is it is usual in these countries are we so probably in the future they will benefit from his butt but now there are disturbing lies in the situation i think say so up people and discontent and really across nice to latin america and not has that last gasp from the irony that the tape thank you so much for joining us thank you. now here in germany the zoo has reopened a days after a fire burned down its primates enclosure and killed at least 30 animals authorities say it's almost certain a family's illegal sky lantern's trait of the blaze o

so it's more or less the similar than the situation in syria and there is no civil war yet in the nasrallah so there are very fragile countries we have seen the situation in colombia a country that has been recovering form its own civil war conflict for the last decades and also you have a country like cruelest receive a 1000000 friends so this is not easy for them to cope with and most of the problem also comes with that some of them are or most of these migrants are rather poor so they are they need a lot of support for from state institutions and this is who she is in these countries are weak so probably in the future they will benefit from this but now there are disturbing lies in the situation at the size that up level and discontent really across my stuff of latin america and i mike has left us from the irony that the tape alan thank you so much for joining us thank you. now here in germany a zoo hit by a very fast moving fire has now mostly reopened for visitors people have been expressing their grief at the clay fed zoo where dozens of animals including several primates were killed

it's make him have a new joins us live from beirut and mohammed tell us more about so what hassan nasrallah had to say. mickey i'm just going to read a bit more of the statement that was released by of hezbollah's leader hassan the this is more of what he have to say my condolences to our dear brothers the officials of the islamic republic of iran especially the leadership of the islamic revolutionary guard and the great and resisting iranian people he went on to say later in the statement this is how we see the scene and the situation as for us who remained we will complete so they mounties path and work night and day to achieve them so they moneys goals and we will carry his flag in all arenas fields and fronts now that is a statement that is causing quite a bit of concern amongst many people that i've been speaking with the past few hours because it leads to many questions about what exactly is going to happen next when you talk about arenas and feels many people in lebanon which is quite fraught right now for lots of reasons wondering if there will be retaliation that would be emanating

iran especially the leadership of the islamic revolutionary guard and again as you mentioned mr nasrallah saying that we will complete the path of money work day and night to achieve his goals will carry his flag and all arenas fields and fronts now we've heard a little bit more from hezbollah in the hours since that statement was released we now know that the group plans on holding a funeral for mr survey money on sunday $1230.00 g.m.t. in the day which is a neighborhood in beirut that is a stronghold of hezbollah has a lot of support there and we're told that at that time or at some point during the ceremony mr nasr all of the leader of hezbollah is going to be delivering a speech now it's not known if he's going to be delivering it from there or from elsewhere but he will be delivering a speech if it's from another part of lebanon it will be televised it will be transmitted by video but all of this really showing just how complicated the terrain is in lebanon right now the country is on the verge of bankruptcy the demonstrators have been out on the streets they want a functioning gover

i think, for example, nasrallah, head of hezbollah, has actually complained that he doesn't have enough resources for his activity. so i think it is having effect based on what i've read in public sources. but i don't have the kind of intelligence sources available to me that would allow me to give you a better answer to that question. >> i thank you. they've clearly gone through the $150 billion plus that were sent over by the obama administration strapped to pallets to be used for these proxies to kill people around the globe, including our american allies and assets. after the iranian regime admitted that it shot down ukrainian international airlines flight 752, tragically killing 176 passengers, and i know it's been discussed here at length, protests did erupt across the country. mr. hadley, how are these protests connected, do you think, to the pro-democracy, pro-economic reform demonstrations of the last few years? and do you think that this public outrage will constrain iran's foreign policy? can it be constrained? mr. hadley: it's been interesting to see how many demonstrations
