ron on one side we have the u.s. on the other caught in the middle of course is iraq marwan cabal and how will iraq decide what its response will be and what sort of conversation it will have with iran and to the killing of silly money actually push iraq closer to iran in terms of geopolitical influence and relationships in fact to iraq is very much divided right now between. the demonstrators on the street who we have seen some of them actually celebrating that earlier in the morning and on the other hand we have that brought you on militias who tried actually to storm the u.s. embassy in baghdad and they were in fact that they got for this escalation between iran and and the united states so when you when you look at iraq you can't actually speak about when iraq. as i said is is very much divided including within those actually who are close to iran because we have seen today for example that assad are trying actually to make to exploit today the killing of in 100 and. and disappearance of the other leaders of the

in the u.s. is the u.s. consumer and and you know 88 percent of the goods and services that that are consumed in the u.s. are produced in the u.s. so but you know there's like that that 30000000000 dollar of it like well 'd you know we think we can take more of this if the things don't work and you've already said you know that there is some concern doubt about whether china is going to be able to live up to this what's the point of making new agreement unless it's for political reasons with an election coming up what's the point of making an economic terms an agreement with someone to make commercial commitments that you know or have serious doubts about what they can live up to and then keep the rest of the world as well as your own economy on the edge of the seat kind of waiting for the other side to go all through and then we go back to trade war entire us again don't we. great question sam and i think the 1st point is that the status quo is not working and this is a lot of these issues need to be addres

congress from u.s. allies and partners and kept troops in afghanistan iraq and even syria longer than he might have life and i think that's what we're seeing now that he's been advised that withdrawal of u.s. forces from iraq abruptly would open the door to isis would encourage sectarianism in iraq and so on and so he's trying to make getting chop of the decision if there's going to be a u.s. withdrawal session he would want to make it on what he thinks is the best timetable on the one point of view of the pentagon in the iraqi defense situation so easy easy likely to go ahead with this threat to impose sanctions on iraq if they were to go ahead with this withdrawal is that just rhetoric because of course the race could be here to further push iraq into iran say of influence. right well so another feature of president francois policy is that he often will use a strategy of escalate to deescalate so he's making a lot of bold rhetoric moving u.s. forces into the reason and so on but the ultimate goal is t

u.s. president donald trump has announced his defense team for the upcoming impeachment trial it includes ken starr the prosecutor in the failed impeachment of bill clinton 22 years ago on the celebrity lawyer alan dershowitz who's represented jeffrey epstein o.j. simpson roman polanski and might tyson the trial will be led by white house counsel and trump's lawyer. and the 1st aerial images of the tall volcano in the philippines shows the extent of the devastation tens of thousands of people have already been displaced and they have been advised not to return to their homes because of fear is that the volcano could erupt again. that's it for myself from the team here in london counting the cost is coming up next. the climate crisis and the environment take center stage at this year's world economic forum in davos business people experts and leaders from around the world can expect an icy reception from some as they discuss how to save the planet from the tricks of rising temperatures get

projection for the u.s. growth at all so is the u.s. economy slowing down that much or is the i.m.f. actually discounting phase one like the rest of us here and we don't actually think that these purchases are going to happen at the said scale. good afternoon christi and ban listen to the next time the i.m.f. is right it'll be the 1st time their projections are never correct and whatever they say it's like the fed talking or anybody else they're making projections based on nothing didn't the china trade deal may or may not go through china may or may not buy our goods in the meantime growth is slowing it's slowing globally so it has to eventually affect the united states as well and of course boeing's problems have not helped our growth either so you take all that into consideration and where we're going you're going to see a potential slowdown whatever china does not get if prices will get lower and china will be a buyer if we can continue to compete with brazil and argentina and everybody else versus the grains but this is always been

u.s. president on a trump has responded to the strikes tweeting all is well and said an assessment of casualties and damage was taking place senior republican senator lindsey graham they called the strikes an act of war. and the u.s. federal aviation authority has now banned u.s. airlines from flying over airspace in iraq iran the gulf of oman and the waters between iran and saudi arabia it cites quote the potential for miscalculation or mis identification and other breaking news from iran in the past 2 hours the crash of a boeing 737 belonging to ukraine international airlines that happened shortly after takeoff from the many airport in tehran 180 people on board all believed to have died no suggestion this has anything to do with other events in iraq. back with more for you in about 25 minutes time. the story of a british italian man experiencing life close up in a palestinian refugee camp the big it's. coming face to face with the daily lives of its residents some of whom have lived the

the u.s. pointed to a stronger consumer. 182 handle is where we sit. we have seen steepening after that announcement from siva mnuchin about potentially issuing 20 year bonds. we have seen that in today's session. ow to the first chinese data dump of the year. the weakest pace in almost three decades as policy support and reduced external pressures stopped deterioration. beijing officials say expansion picked up in january and the outlook has improved. industrial output rose in december, beating the median estimate and fixed asset investment accelerated for the first time since june. some of that may be due to the effects of the chinese new year, earlier this year than in 2019, and companies may have increased production. let's go to beijing and our correspondent, selina wang. the headline numbers are looking good but there are still some risks remaining. --e of the numbers pointed from the labor market and suggested the rebalancing may not totally be down for china. there is the risk for futu

there is no u.s. casualties in early reports which is heartening and we hope it hold through through the second round. they need to open the door for some kind of olive branch between the u.s. and iran. they cleared the air. but it doesn't get to the hezbollah issue which is that we may have some individuals that try to carry out attacks that are highly problematic, potentially deadly. if that happens the u.s. will want to respond again in kind. how do they shut the hezbollah stuff off from the iranians? >> i think it israel example is perfect. israel has responded interest mitintermittently. we'll have to respond to the terror threat in that region. i think attacking inside iraq is a whole different equation that may not be necessary because the bigger picture is the protection of the iraqi people. would i like to see a response from the u.s. and our allies inside iraq that are not the shiia traitors i have been working with the iranian regime. dr. zuhdi jasser joining us as well and senate armed for

u.s. as part of that phase one trade deal yesterday. china has agreed to buy $52 million in additional energy purchases from the u.s let's assume beijing fulfilled that promise what does it mean for u.s. producers to become many much more reliant on china as a key customer >> the united states has already become a major exporter of oil and indeed natural gas we are expecting that to grow in years to come because production is likely to continue to grow. we can argue about how fast the rate of growth may be but the u.s. is a major player on global markets. that's welcome on the ground for the following reasons. firstly, more diversity into the global marketplace that is good for everybody. it is good for china because china has been seeking to die vesify the source of energy supplies over the years. so subject to the agreement being ratified and brought into operation, it is good for china that they have the option to buy u.s. supplies. it is good for u.s. producers as well because they hav

u.s. officials have told us media they have a quote high degree of certainty that it was a missile that hit the plane president donald trump echoed the theory that it might have been an accident iran vehemently denies the theory that the plane was downed by an iranian missile. it's now that the thing that is clear to us and that we can say with certainty is that this plane was not hit by a missile. as i said last night the plane was on fire for more than one and a half minutes and yet the russian of flight shows that the pilot was attempting to return. to the ukrainian international airlines flight was traveling from tehran to kiev with 176 people on board the boeing 737 crashed in good visibility just minutes after takeoff. most of the victims were from iran many of them do iranian canadian citizens do to take a connecting flight to canada western leaders are demanding full transparency from tehran the focus is now on the black box flight recorders they could hold the key to revealing the

u.s. officials doing their victory laps in the united states the reaction here in iraq will be one of grave concern because there is certainly a lot of fear that there will be retaliation and that this could result in a war on iraq the soil between the u.s. and iran with iraq is basically caught in the middle of it let's be clear here because the the view of the situation in iraq now for some months has been very confusing we've had protesters on the streets demanding that iran stop meddling in iraq you've been demanding a complete overhaul of iraqi politics opposed to the president opposed to the prime minister we've had one prime minister submit his resignation and the president refused the nomination of another prime minister a potential prime minister and then threatened to resign himself so place what we've seen today in the broader context of the political turmoil and vacuum inside iraq which does not have right now a fully functioning government. well basically what these 3 months o

the u.s. and taiwan do not have a mutual defense treaty that was abrogated after after switching recognition in 1979 but there is the taiwan relations act that requires the united states to maintain the military capability to defend taiwan and at the same time while there isn't a military obligation under law there is more importantly the u.s. position in the region that it has to protect i mean u.s. credibility would be on the line and should should the u.s. not come to taiwan's defense it would call into question its credibility with all of its other alliance partners japan korea australia new zealand many of these islands all being questioned i mean sorry to interrupt but many of these long sending alliances all being questioned under the trumpet ministration. am i think if you look at what the united states government is doing they are investing heavily in military capabilities they are investing in economic development they are are quoting a lot of diplomatic effort into coordinating with

a u.s. base near kirkuk, iraq. then sunday u.s. air strikes hit five facilities in syria and iraq linked to iranian-backed militias. >> in response to those attacks, pro-iranian protesters attacked the u.s. embassy in baghdad and set fires to the buildings there and smashed windows. the u.s. strikes at the baghdad airport killed the top iranian commander qassim and a senior member of the iranian-backed popular mobilization forces. >> nic robertson joins me now from london. of course, it's the first time the united states has killed general in iran. we keep hearing, though, the same thing over and over, nic, that this act puts the u.s. in unchartered territory. what might that look like? >> iran is going to decide how far it wants to push this, the killing of qassim soleimani they will see as an existential threat. they cannot not do anything about this. so there will be sort of two parts to this, if you will. and we can break it down like that simply at the moment. but i think as the days pr

would be absent but the u.s. might not be leading as much and certainly i think that would be consistent with president obama as well yeah i think it's been a position of many administrations going back years in the inception of nato that the europeans need to carry more of the weight and i think this is an opportunity to rebalance it's not going to be a sea change i think the u.s. is the is the driver of the strategy in the region the u.s. needs to stay engaged but i think they can call upon the allies to put more troops into the training missions that are. in iraq and other parts of the region putting more resources into some of the other nato programs that are helping stabilize north africa and places like morocco tunisia maybe put some more ships into the eastern med and into the persian gulf part of the freedom of navigation strategy so the u.s. doesn't have to do the heavy lifting there this could all be done under a nato flag it could be done on an ad hoc coalition basis but the bottom line is the european

michael: the u.s. and a national defense alteration at put in place sanctions that would target any pipelines or vessels. the company leading the offshore part already announced that they would stop and freeze the work on the pipeline because of u.s. sanctions. that leaves roughly 100 kilometers of the pipeline to be constructed. a last-ditchg at effort by the u.s. come actually succeeding in some ways. and saids come back they have the capability to finish themselves. but when you look at the number of vessels under russia's control, we are talking about just a handful. one of them is based in the far east right now, so it would take months to get into the baltic sea. this is something that will delay the pipeline. that withxtapose other negotiations going on in ascember over natural g transit agreements with ukraine, that had also been finalized. those contracts were set to expire at the end of 2019. they have now been extended under five years. eliminate some of the dependency it has on ukraine. it

u.s. killed its top general, qasem soleimani. senior administration officials said that counterterrorism officials are now on the lookout for possible retaliation by iran. secretary of state mike pompeo telling cnn just moments ago that killing soleimani was crucial because there was an imminent threat to americans in the region. >> president trump's decision to remove qasem soleimani from the battlefield saved american lives. there's no doubt about that. he was actively plotting in the region to take actions a big action as he described it that would have put dozens if not hundreds of american lives at risk. >> pompeo did not provide further details on these plots. despite saying americans are now safer in the region, the state department is urging all u.s. citizens to leave iraq immediately. in iran, soleimani's replacement has already. announced, and thousands are protesting in the streets of the capital tehran. the general was head of the iranian islamic revolutionary guard corps, qods

says the u.s. will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world. but the bottom line is wherever you fall down on whether this was the right decision or not, the question is going to be what happens after this and is the white house prepared for the aftermath, how the iranians respond. and that's going to be the question, some questions for secretary pompeo who's been on the phone with world leaders this morning talking about this decision saying that the united states is committed to de-escalation. though of course john, the question is going to be this is a move that is not seen as de-escalation. >> kaitlan collins, please keep us posted there. joining me now, max rose. he served in the u.s. army, just returned from a trip from the middle east. congressman, thank you so much for being with us. your reaction to the news from overnight? the killing of this huge figure. >> so, first of all, no one should mourn the loss of qasem sole

if the u.s. wants to move into iranian air space and launch missiles against targets inside iran, it can be done, but it is a very dangerous business. iran has significant air defenses. their military is not one of the most modern in the world, by any stretch, but they would have the capability to try and shoot down any u.s. aircraft. we know that if the u.s. was going to go launch something against the iranian regime, it would be by aircraft and by sea. u.s. ships at sea, perhaps launching missiles. this is the way they could avoid those air defenses most significantly. but let's be clear. tonight,he pentagon says it is still assessing the situation on the ground inside iraq, trying to determine exactly what damage, what has happened, and we will then see how president trump decides to move ahead. anderson? >> and barbara, just talk a little bit about the significance that ballistic missiles were used. >> well, you know, what we have seen over the months is rockets and mortars. this is so-called

soldiers u.s. civilians u.s. journalists in the region and the iranians have a network that is goes beyond the mena region they can strike in southeast asia and south america in west africa this is where all these are good networks exist for the iranians and they can use these kind of attacks to respond against americans when we least when we least expect it so if a proportionate response means you know we have limit casualties u.s. casualties but there will be u.s. casualties because that would be the kind of proportionate response in iran it's one ok adolfo franco let's start with in terms of the impact the u.s. has braced for the united states will have known that by taking out cousin so money there would have been a reaction do you think the u.s. is well equipped to deal with that response at present well that largely depends on iran but i think we need to step back and ask how we got here and why this action was taken by the president and i would simply support the president i do think he has a game plan and

the u.s. says it's killing of cars some sort of money in an air strike was in response to an attack in iraq in which a u.s. contractor died and for which the u.s. blames iran. in iran huge crowds have been in mourning. and demanding revenge for so money's death and immediate diplomatic solution to the crisis seems unlikely . both sides have to be rolling through gaijin diplomacy and right now i fear that i do not see that i do not see either side the iranian or the american willing to do the things necessary to engage in diplomacy. iran wants u.s. forces to permanently leave the gulf region and it says there will be a harsh response to any further u.s. retaliation rob matheson al-jazeera. when iran's foreign minister jihad zarif said his country will respond in proportion to any reaction from the united states we have said very clearly that if the united states takes any further action it on viewed respond accordingly and we would respond in a very harsh way but proportionately well we did not

any u.s. person or u.s. interest will be met with fierce military retaliation, despite the fact that u.s. military law requires proportionality in any kind of retaliatory strike. certainly some legal questions there as well. secretary of state mike pompeo was the chief messenger earlier in the day, however. he did all five sunday news rams and was defending the president's threat against iran, including to attack cultural sites in iran. >> president trump has been rez lute. he we will continue to be. including killing the terrorist, soleimani. what president trump said last night is consistent with what we had said all along, inariane forces they would that could act with impunity. we made clear four months to the iranian regime that we were going to hold responsible the leaders and organizations will be held accountable. we'll continue to do so consistent with the international rule of law and the constitution. we've done it before. we'll do it again. >> now, two senior u.s. officials tell jim sciuto there

fortunately the u.s. has put in some technology that we borrowed from the u.s. navy and most of these, including mar tar rounds, are actually destroyed before they hit the ground. you mentioned surface-to-air. i'm sure you meant surface-to-surface missiles. if they're being fired out of iran, that's a game-changer, because then there will be bigger warheads. some of these missiles they fire, 107 millimeter are not too bad. the big ones, 122 millimeter and up are really scary. so i'll listen up for technical evaluation, which will happen very quickly. they'll know what kind of missile it was. and if it's fired out of iran, then we've got a game-changer in progress. >> and appreciate your point there. that is indeed surface-to-surface missiles. so let me repeat that and thank the general for that point. surface-to-surface. stay with me, general. our viewers have come to rely on joining me by phone on the breaking story, which again is limited information at this point. but the report of the rocket attack there in iraq, in a place that houses u.s. troops. aman, you

the u.s. has been fighting isis and training iraqi forces. frur of these missiles failed. 15 missiles fire iran into iraq at the u.s. pieces with -- bases with u.s. soldiers on them. judy: u.s. troops located at these bases. there are other u.s. bases around iraq? nick: yes, the u.s. does not like to talk about the number, but iran chose these targets, chose the main u.s. airbase in iraq where president trump visited, met troops. that is the base president trump has been talking about, how important and expensive it is. they did not hit other bases. judy: what do we know about casualties? nick:it the my saying they do not have an estimate, but a did -- i did talk to a defense official the answer was, we have good early warning systems. let's put that strange comment into context. these missiles are flying from 180 miles away. they take five to seven minutes to get to these bases. 30 seconds or so for the u.s. to spot them, only 10 or 20 seconds more to know they aring. there are three to four

the u.s. right now? andy purdy it is a moving target. we have the national authorization act, we have a pending rule to an executive order. right now, we can't sell to the u.s. government, can't sell to u.s. contractors, and there is pressure for our small-carrier customers, wireless and wireline customers, to rip out huawei gear. so there is legislation pending that would provide funds, not adequate or providing sufficient time, that would give them money to rip out huawei equipment. so it is a difficult situation and although not official, the u.s. government has blocked american carriers at&t and verizon from selling our mobile devices. host: why do you think that is? andy: it is a complicated matter. we have the geopolitical context of the u.s. and china trade talks having exasperated things. we also have a situation i think affects many of us in our everyday lives, were people don't want to hear or read anything that doesn't agree with their position. so we have a lot of false information

to u.s. u.s. bases in iraq why was the airspace over iran over the one not closed and why were flights not grounded said i mean obviously heightened tensions in the region what kind of fallout after all these days of denials now this admission what kind of fallout could be seen from this both at home and abroad. where the whole iran has been experiencing. more support after the sustentation of course than for the money you saw hundreds of thousands of people out on the streets now this could change that because this is the 1988. disaster where the u.s. navy shutdown uranian flight is still fresh in the memory of people here president rouhani used it against donald trump after dark trump said there were target 52 sites in iran including cultural sites if iran responded to the united states president rouhani said how about the ring in iran those shut down and mention the $290.00 victims of that so that's still fresh in the memory of iranians internationally well it just doesn't look good for iran th

the u.s., the impeachment trial of president trump officially begins this week. he will make arguments both inside and outside the senate courtroom. what should we be watching out for this week? reporter: probably the number one issue surrounding the impeachment trial that starts tuesdays how to handle witnesses and whether to have witnesses. democrats and republicans really couldn't be further apart on that. democrats want to call on keep former administration officials including john bolton. most republicans say it's not necessary. there are a few persuadable republicans who the democrats will be trying to get out to show new evidence saying we have to get this a fair trial. if there were witnesses, at least one republican today, senator ted cruz, suggesting this trial could take six to eight weeks, which i think is a lot longer than people would have thought. that is something that is key to look for. the two sides put out legal briefs on saturday. a short one from the trump administration

bases as targets and the u.s. presence in the region is in a strong those words fair punishment for all or has repeatedly threatened a regional war if iran is attacked by the united states iran will not stand alone is what he's promised it is an expected statement of support from an ally which has grown into a regional force photos are emerging of the struggle with solem many who the hezbollah leader called a brother he confirmed the late military commander was in lebanon before heading to baghdad via damascus while hezbollah doesn't hide its links with iran it is the strongest political player in lebanon it's careful to protect that power at a time of increasing pressure is the condition for success for retaliation out of there because of the economic situation because that kind of cannot sustain what sort of a. likeable to in 2006 that's really called so many assassination a turning point and a new phase the message here may be one of defiance but in reality the u.s. maximum pressure campaign on iran and its all
