the ripple effect of the 1000, what is it us contract is mainly who are benefiting from this when the price of oil goes up, the cost of almost every thing goes up, counting the cost on out of there the, the us launches that strikes in syria and iraq in retaliation for a drone to take that killed 3 us soldiers into the product. so robin, what you of is their life, my headquarters here in the also coming up. the result comes just hours up to the bodies of 3 service members were returns to the us profit. he's a pressure of proof of despair that we feel for what comes next. the di warning

from the us life in southern garza wet mold and a 1000000 people that be moved to escape violence. the will you begin with breaking news? coming out of the u. s. as it has launched dozens of the strikes in syria and iraq, using the long range palm is, it's in response to a drug and strike as a base in jordan last sunday that killed 3 us personnel. us present dre buttons as the old of the strikes on facilities used by iran islamic revolution regards. cool . in a stephen barton says the strikes will continue at times and places of washington's choosing. city and state media says at least the team probably raining and fights has been killed. now the strikes come just hours of to button to attend to the ceremony as the bodies off those 3 american personnel with sometimes he met

privately with the families ahead of the proceedings. wilson, children of correspond to standing by for, is that the pentagon and rosalind, a choreographed structure of appearances and statements. so the like 10 by american officials over the strikes in syria is expected at the moment. we're just getting statements of what's happened. well, we're only going to get statements from us. officials were not expected to see any us of administration. officials on camera. there is a background briefing underway right now, which we are monitoring for additional news lines. but the short of it is this, the, the retaliatory error strikes and started about 2 hours ago at 4 pm eastern standard time, just around midnight in the middle east. according to us officials, they saw routes of air strikes lasted about 30 minutes,

targeted southern locations, $85.00 targets in total. everything from command and control centers to logistics hubs. to intelligence centers, to uh, weapons, uh, store warehouses. and the people who were targeted include members of the islamic revolutionary guards, corps, and codes for us, as well as affiliated, local groups that have been supported militarily and financially by a run. it is those groups that the us believes were responsible for last sundays or tack on tower $22.00. that small us installation in northeastern jordan, in which 3 us soldiers were killed and dozens of others were injured. the us has been adamant that there would be retaliation for that definitely drone attack on us forces. and as you have noticed, this is not the last, according to us officials in terms of getting paid back for those soldiers, deaths,

and injuries. of course, it didn't seem to be any coincidence roles that the strikes began at the same time as the president was receiving really the policies of those full and us service personnel de raffled to well, it does appear that this was on time to all happened on the same day that the remains of the 3 us soldiers were brought back to the united states. but under questioning officials or say this was more a function of whether or not the weather was going to cooperate with such an operation. this involved the number of us aircraft, including b one b bombers, which i can a dropped precision guided munitions for sided munitions or, or bombs on their targets. and these officials say that this was also done to make certain that they were going after military targets not to are injured or killed

any civilians. and so they need a clear whether they argued in order to do just that. now they don't have an assessment yet of whether or not the strikes were in their mind successful. they say they're waiting for sunrise before they can start to do a full assessment of this overnight strike. what's the jordan forced ira with the update that from the pendulum roles? thanks very much. i. let's call so even though it's backed up with my mood of the head, the joins us live from the rocky confidence the dead of night. way you are my mood and 11 does. we know now there is a new rock you reaction to this. what do they saying as well, the most a problem and the reaction has come from the government. some of the spokesman of iraq's argument forces. who said in this statement that these ada strikes, targeted to the areas inside iraq,

apart in the district to on the border between iraq and syria. and the u. s. is twice against those locations of violation of iraq's sovereignty and undermining iraq's efforts and the might, the, a drag iraq and the region to unwanted the kansas with consequences. this is the statement by iraq's at autumn. it forces both and men, but meanwhile, minutes the commanders of but a ottoman to groups and eat on a line with groups. these are part of this that make resistance, have also a posted that addiction of these a, the strikes and threatening to escalate to the member. this is a, this is an escalation, as, as you know, that this comes only a few days after the stomach resistance as well as brigades, i know, said that they are spending all their attacks against us and coalition forces

admitted to the facilities in iraq and the city of photo and video to the attack that killed the us. soldiers on a sunday. and let's just talk about the actual whereabouts of what we understand why these attacks, particularly happened as the rockies of saying on bad territory. though the usa is very clear in saying that they hit targets on syrian territory. the like is security forces, both with the government and with the iran aligned with groups, say that the attack, there are at least $68.00 as to mike's the heat inside a rock, namely on a car in district that had to minutes the facilities including get an immunization to a depot and the local media affiliated with the iran aligned. automatic groups has been reporting casually. this bit has and injuries,

but we still need to verify that from the official sources. but who the why the in baghdad. thank you. well, that's cause i have it from iraq to iran and then to it's capital, tyrone well, russell. so there are correspondents is also standing by full reaction from the right. you need officials, i suppose russell will be assessing the us strikes and wondering how to react if they all react thing a tool at the moment. as of now there is no reaction or the official statement from that run yet. but as you also said, probably they are going through a damage assessment process. but the sam combs statement that was released earlier saying that they have targeted defaulted. they have struck 85 targets, including you want your relation to god's puts forces that is quite important for you around because which forces or not a it's not

a lot of media to the group that is backed by you run it is directly official, branch 4 feet, you run in the army, so in this case, usa saying that actually they have targeted iranian army in the rock and in, in syria or along the border. that is quite important. so and also this stating that the, the mit is some of these crops that were kept me the strides directly flow from do i say that is also important because one has been expressing its estimate is concerns about the us minutes a basis in the region to be used a gas, do you run in assets here? so by the statement us, he's also making it clear that there hasn't been this, this a business hasn't been used and is trying to avoid risk in its allies, a security here. and also the major companies do not want to be called in these escalation between dsa and iran. but also the location of these attacks is quite

important for you around this way. big. you're talking about the, the, the soul of data store and north of, and we'll come out of this region is where actually, if connect your rock to syria bodies, quite busy we'd be around affiliated groups and also do you run it activities the revolution regards. and so one, so by attacking particularly these locations, this positions like the usa is also trying to disconnect iran from syria as well. so the general expectation is sheer into wrong cause. there was a times waiting times mood, but the general expectation was that the us is going to distract the, you run affiliated gold featured on cold excess of the resistance. but when it comes to your running, assess to be directly attacked, that the district is what quite low now by the usa implicitly saying that they have target to be running an army. it's raising the concerns whether iran is going to be times you to announce. so,

so that force into around thank you. joshua land. this is director of the center for mentally studies at the university of excitement. join us from newman in oklahoma. i'm show mr. understood, talking about the program. i'm sure you've heard what correspondence of being said because this news continues to break and continues to evolve. the pentagon consensus dry, cold rainy and back to militia groups. so, is this a sort of a sharp intake of breath and sort of what next? movements that were viewing right now as absolutely the united states is trying to thread a needle. here it is. it wants to show that it's strong. there are many politicians here in washington who are clamoring for more action calling by week. this is an election c season, so he has to respond. but at the same time, he's made it very clear he does not want to escalate. and that means 2 things. he can hip syrians, that's easy, nobody cares about the syrian government. and uh,

but we do care about the rocky government. the americans care about the rocky government. and there is a strategic reassessment of america's goals. america's relationship going on right now because they've, they recently killed a, leading your rocky politician the head of a, one of the commanders of the islamic resistance. and, and that caused of cry. an uproar because these militias, which americans always called probably iranian, are actually they are a rocky militias and they're part of the rocky government and the prime minister of so dad he is holding to them. so he cannot, you know, he had to scream bloody murder and say, look at the americans have to move out. and it every, a rocky politician announced they did not want the iraq to become a battle ground between a ron and the united states. so it's not worth it. so america does not want to get

injected from a rock, particularly not before the elections in november. know it, so it wants to be strong, but it doesn't want to kill too many rockies. now let's get through a joshua, it's like we just said, let me just get in there as well. because obviously what you're saying is what you say about what the americans want. but the target seemed to be at the moment to, according to the pen, to go infrastructure according to the pentagon and this, and it said it was a large human told to this one was doing breaks. there is going to be a response to this, isn't that because the launch or the death toll, the, the, the, the, the pressure on both baghdad or even it wrong. and it's malicious to respond to that . that's true. and, you know, we, we, we just heard the 13 people were killed, but we don't know their nationalities and who they were yet how, how senior they were. but the united states been telegraphing that they're, that they're going to do this, frank, and i think they did that in part because they don't want to kill too many people.

they, they, they, they went after you know, arms depots and so forth. but they did go after some headquarters, but i think that they were hoping that they would not kill too many people will see what the damage is when the smoke clears. but we already know that 13 people have been killed. and that's going to cause an outcry, because many politicians, you know, the syrian government, the turkish government, the rocky government, the old one, america out. and, and so america's playing was fire here. this, this could easily escalate because uh, joshua the either the, the, the officials themselves in the usaa saying this is maybe the 1st of many more responses. do you think this is just a holding pattern for now to say this is what we're going to do in terms of what the americans are saying. i'm will, those on the ground actually be waiting to see what else the americans are going to do? and i think they will be and, and this is, you know, the lucky ron is that a much stronger position here in the united states in many ways because all the

regional governments and many of the people are furious that america right now because of what's going on and gaza and because america is helping israel kill tens of thousands of palestinians. and so this is inflamed people against the united states. iran is trying to exploit that in his tit for tat work to drive america out of the region. and so the more america retaliates angry, both a rocky syrians, any iranians will be and this will play into it runs hands because they have popular support, you know, only 3 months ago. the air robot scoffing at the access of resistance, the, the, the groups that were aligned with the ron because they, they were doing nothing to help how students and uh, and they seemed very sectarian today that access of resistance. eric's from one of the air worlds, the other one more resistance. so it's legitimize the rod,

it's legitimize these groups, and the more america kills them. the more america is going to look like it's just siding with israel and killing europe's wantonly. joshua, believe it that's though it's good to get your insight. i'm sure we speaking to you more about this as the hours progressed for elandis that 4th norman class. i think you as well as told to out there was a rainy correspondent, dose of jabari, who spends a lot of time in iran for us and obviously watching from outside to the borders. i'm sure you have a better idea of what raining officials of pops thinking right now. talking to the soul just a few moments ago. doesn't really being that much for spelled skip that waiting to assess the situation. certainly, and i don't think we're going to hear anything from them until the morning. they're going to have to see the damage that's been caused by these 85 strikes that the united states carried out in syria and iraq. and you're going to have to pick stock of what's been destroyed, the loss of life as well. and we are hearing unconfirmed reports of casualties. so

we're gonna have to see what is going to happen when the morning comes and then the radians will assess how they will respond. then i think it's going to be certainly measured. i don't think it's going to be anything drastic. they're going to think about what, how they will respond to the americans. and i think we're going to see more of what we've been seeing just continue. and we know that the americans have said they're not done yet. this is just the start of their response. and unfortunately things could get much worse before they get better. the radians are asking for lol in the fighting in gaza. that is the main issue at the forefront of what we've been seeing on fault over the past few weeks will mean it's really interesting that we, we've had time and time again from our senior political analyst mom. the shower is this influence around times with these militia groups, whether they be in iraq, in lab, and on, or in yemen. and i suppose part of it runs assessment. now, when it wakes up in the morning and sees what's happened in syria,

is the result is it wants to put into a response to the american bombing when it also has to think about as belong and what's going on between southern lebanon and iran, israel. and also how the hoot is also reacting though, they don't control these group, it's they all certainly there's a loose affiliation of understanding between them supported by rogue. certainly there's a very strong ideological bond between these groups. there. share groups in the middle east, and these groups are supported by iran in a lot of different ways. and this is not a secret their own has said that the support has full on who fees any which way they can. and it's not only for a, a, a geological purpose for ron, it's also a self preservation. eh, you know, when the revolution happens in iran, in 1979 at these groups were formed as a result of the,

the vision that home employee had for the future. for on and instilling its own stability in the region, ensuring its own regional power by having these groups scott around the middle east because it will serve around its purpose at the end of the day. and i think that's what we've seen over the past few months. more than ever before, your one doesn't have to direct the who sees to attack us interest. it doesn't have to directly say to the popular mobilization forces in iraq how to win to attack. these are things that are understood and i think that's what it is. alarming the united states, so much more than ever seeing iran have this regional influence and power. and we've seen this now and fold in very, very confrontational way in the region as a result of israel's actions with what it's carrying out in gaza. be interesting to see what they do say when the adult breaks in the middle east,

that's really the dosage of already there are corresponding from iran. let's go say that to washington dc and speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how it gets. kimberly, i'm sure you've been able to assess what boulevard correspondents have be saying. i believe you've been listening into what the white house has been saying to. yeah, that's right. uh, in fact, i little apologize. i haven't been listening to what you and the correspondence have been talking about. so forgive me for some redundancy if there is some because i have been listening to the conversations that have been taking place with the national security council spokes person, as well as of the top spokesperson for the us military. what i can tell you is that right now, what we know is that there have been in terms of strikes $85.00 in total that took place over 30 minutes and that 3 were in a rock for were in syria that it began to dies. but this was certainly not the last

of those strikes that will be conducted by the united states. now, we know that the us president was kept abreast of those strikes as they were taking place. and it in advance of those strikes throughout the afternoon here in the united states and into the evening. now in terms of locations, what we are being told is this was these targets that were selected were based on clear and irrefutable evidence that they were connected to the attacks on us personnel in the region. not just sundays attack on 3 us soldiers as well as 40 others injured and those 3 that were killed at the us out post in jordan, but the ongoing attacks against us personnel. now i did have the opportunity to ask in that call, if there would be any sort of uh, evidence provided uh to sort of give transparency. uh, we were told that there was not the ability to provide that,

that there we would just have to trust the us military. and that they would not be giving any of sort of evidence of this that they do not reveal their intelligence collection methods. and this is a military operation, but it's still ongoing, but you have to understand here in the united states, given the history of the us invasion of a rock or some of that military intelligence turned out to be faulty. that there is some public skepticism in the united states, particularly at this time when there is public pulling to show that there is opposition to a broader middle east conflict. so this was a particularly sensitive question. and as i continued to ask questions, i was discouraged from that line of questioning. now we should also tell you that in terms of this, the president has sent out a very strong statement in terms of defending these us strikes, saying that the us president not only will continue to direct these strikes,

but also that he will not content. he will continue to defend the american people at a time and place of his choosing, which it also points out that the timing of this, the fact that this has taken place on the hills of what's known as a dignified transfer. that is where the bodies of those 3 americans that were killed last sunday attacks were essentially presided over by the us presidents. their conference were draped with the american flag and the very solemn ceremony. the question came up in this briefing. if this, these strikes were timed with that ceremony, it was denied that this has any way. this was said to be a coincidence that the strikes were times put purely because of the strategic purposes that this was good was there. and this was the time to do it, but again, there is some skepticism that this may be sending a message the united states wanted to send to

a ron at his proxies that this was something that they wanted to avenge. yeah. can we? yeah, my apologies as what your thoughts devolving story with the some of the elements. a slight confusion on my part. but in terms of, if we look really what's been going on since the pressure that's on the president, we had just little, i'm just just a few moments ago talking about this being election. yeah. and also the problem is, is since there's a tax on sunday, but that's something have to be done to event at the desk of those 3 posts. now, as we had towards the sunday chart shows all the politicians from all sides from the left and the right will be discussing. this is going to be a hot topic is going to be top of the agenda arisen says absolutely. and the. 6 incident was under enormous pressure, political pressure, especially into and to take action. and when it comes to avenging the staff, the president, despite the public disapproval of

a broader middle east conflict, does get support from the american public for avenging these dest. uh, the, the, the, the american public is behind the president's actions when it comes to defending american lives. so he had pressure from the american public. he had pressure from the hawkish republicans. but where he did get some push back was from within his own democratic party who feels that the president may be creeping toward this broader middle east conflict. and may not even have the authority under the us constitution to do what he is doing. given the fact that the president can, must consult congress in matters of war and many feels and argues that this is a matter of war. but the white house argues that this is defensive in nature, and therefore the president has the authorization under article 2 of the us

constitution. well, we'll leave it that will come back to as the situation develops. kimberly, how could the white house correspondent, thank you. now the escalating tensions in the middle east come as political stakes rise in the us. as kimberly mentioned james base hospital from the united nations headquarters in new york. the one, the senior official that i spoke to from one party big country said you've got to really look at everything that you're seeing right now of through 2 different lenses. one lens is clearly what's going on in the region and what president biden is doing. and response to events in the region a but also the other lens is present by this political latins because of course, this is a us election. yeah. and he needs to look strong. it needs to look tough at the same time. he doesn't want to look as though he's leading the us into another war in the middle east. so i think you have to look through those 2 lenses. this particular figure said to me,

in terms of all the diplomacy is going on in the region, including the diplomacy with regard to the war and garza. and if the conflict was to stop the idea that potentially you try and have diplomacy leading to a 2 state solution, things like peace conferences and that sort of thing. this guy who was a senior figure speaking to me, said it this year is really the nightmare yet to deal with any of this. because the u. s. a needs to be involved and involved in the diplomacy as it benefits them, at least this year though, of course, the most powerful man in the world has most of his, his vision on his political contest, which looks like it will be against president trump. and so that complicates, i think, all of the, of the decision making in the us. but also the way this decision making in the us is viewed by all the t plans in the world. well, i set the goals and out of hospitals in the southern city of con, units under sage school sheltering, displaced color to palestinians,

being boned and residential areas. head full palestinians have been killed for the intense is riley, shutting and guns on the palestine. red crescent headquarters is located inside of the alamo hospital, which else has thousands of displaced people, us and many say what's coming next with his rel warning, it'll advance its ground. defensive to the southern may speak to a rough which boldest egypt. now the city is already crowded with mold and hoff of gauze. this population of $2300000.00 looking for safety united nations of describing the crisis in russia as a pressure cooker of this, a ton, a couple assume is even if it were as strikes if it areas, housing displaced, palestinians, today we had more strikes on the area that supposed to be saved zone for the majority of displace palestinians for taking shelter in a rough off right now as we have been see a hearing, a string of s tribes that hit the main linking areas between hon. you're just and also in the southern parts of a rough or has people are getting much more worried about the possibility of the

extension of the fighting to reach rough idea as isabel is very keen to dismantle militarily the palestinian military existence inside this area. as the people here have to, i need a place to be taking shelter inside. now we've been talking about more than 85 percent of kansas population on now here of to losing all of the houses being partially or completely destroyed as the question for palestinian is what next to go if the, if the return back again to the north or any area in gauze or they have been only will find ruffles on that praise. they wouldn't have any civil facilities to depend on comments. there is homes and also people here to sit at the beginning of the fight to in a rough i is the ultimate nightmare. that all of them are afraid of simply because every single house here has been a very tragic story. that mean is roles and people are completely afraid to lose most of the family members, especially that this area right now is,

is floating with you've got to reuse, we'll have lots of hope in terms of what these values say regarding safety as all of them on the look a safe, even an area that is supposed to and this ignited since the beginning of the world as a safe zone here. so let's bring you some of the day so that he has no knowledge and team is level houses cited to approve controversial reforms at a spot protest and the streets. congress has been 3 days to basing present how the malays reform bill is approved by the sun. it's what's known as the omnibus bill would lead to cuts in public services and job losses. at least 4 people were arrested on thursday after protest as fault with police outside parliament, theresa, but is outside congress in for as long as i'm here, a ton of hold to the top. what is known as the bill, $144.00 voting against the bill. mental health prep the form.
