US embassy in Baghdad has urged American citizens to depart Iraq immediately
The United States embassy in Baghdad has called on all it citizens to depart Iraq immediately on Friday. The order follows the US airstrike killing Iranian Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in an air strike.
“Due to heightened tensions in Iraq and the region, the U.S. Embassy urges American citizens to heed the January 2020 Travel Advisory and depart Iraq immediately. U.S. citizens should depart via airline while possible, and failing that, to other countries via land,” it said in a statement. (Reporting by Ahmed Aboulenein; Editing by Maha El Dahan)

個中東政策其實想點，不過搵翻Bolton先啦
成個伊拉克俾美國唔同年代不同政策玩爛咗
成個伊拉克俾美國唔同年代不同政策玩爛咗
我直覺覺得美國原本只係諗住炸死伊拉克真主黨首領，點知出手嗰時soleimani 係架車度，誤殺埋。你見平時trump 也文也武，今次成日後先出tweet, pompeo 猛咁話唔想打仗
都有可能
呢次係唔係誤炸都好，賭咁大一係贏盡伊朗，一係中東開戰或者僑民撤離唔切死好多，有啲一發不可收執

Qasem Soleimani: Mourners flood the streets as body returns to Iran
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-50997841
Hundreds of thousands of mourners have taken to the streets in Iran to receive home the remains of Qasem Soleimani, the general killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad last week.
In Ahvaz, mourners beat their chests and chanted "death to America".
Soleimani was the architect of Iran's sphere of influence across the Middle East and he was considered to be the country's second most powerful man.
His assassination marked a significant escalation between Iran and the US.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, who had a close personal relationship with Soleimani, warned of "severe revenge" for the attack, and analysts said Iran might pursue cyber attacks against the US or traditional attacks on US targets or interests in the Middle East.
President Trump, who authorised the attack on Soleimani on Friday - an option refused by both Presidents Bush and Obama as too risky - said on Saturday the US was ready to strike 52 sites "important to Iran & the Iranian culture".

Al-Shabab militants attack Kenya and US naval base
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-50997769
The Islamist militant group al-Shabab has attacked a naval base used by Kenyan and US forces in the popular Kenyan coastal region of Lamu.
Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and seeing plumes of black smoke emerge from Camp Simba in the early hours of Sunday.
Kenya's military said troops had driven out the insurgents from the base.
Al-Shabab is linked to al-Qaeda and has its headquarters in neighbouring Somalia.
The group has carried out a spate of attacks in the region since it was formed more than a decade ago.
On 28 December, about 80 people were killed in a bombing in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu.

Pedro Sánchez loses first vote, after highly charged investiture debate
https://elpais.com/elpais/2020/01/03/inenglish/1578066750_393888.html
Spain will not break up; there will be dialogue to deal with the “political conflict” with Catalonia, without straying beyond the confines of the Spanish Constitution; and a coalition government made up of the Socialist Party (PSOE) and Unidas Podemos will implement reformist policies that will cast aside measures from previous administrations with regard to the economy, employment and personal freedoms. Those were some of the commitments set out on Saturday by caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, as he addressed Spain’s lower house of parliament, the Congress of Deputies, on the first day of his investiture debate.
The coalition government proposed by Sánchez was put to a first vote on Sunday, after two days of debate in Congress during which opposition parties responded to the policies and plans set out by both the caretaker prime minister and the leader of Unidas Podemos, Pablo Iglesias. As expected, Sánchez’s bid did not prosper at that first vote, given that he required an absolute majority of 176 votes in the 350-seat chamber.
In the end, 166 deputies voted in favor (PSOE, Unidas Podemos, Basque Nationalist Party (PNV), Más País, Compromís, Nueva Canarias, Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) and Teruel Existe), 165 against (Popular Party (PP), Vox, Ciudadanos, Together for Catalonia, Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP), Navarra Suma, Coalición Canaria, Foro Asturias and the Regionalist Party of Catalonia (PRC)), with 18 abstentions (ERC and EH Bildu).
At a second vote on Tuesday, however, he is expected to win the poll, given that a simple majority of more yes votes than no is required. Sánchez has the support of a smattering of smaller parties, but most importantly, he has secured the abstention of the Catalan Republican Left (ERC) thanks to a deal covering the future approach by the central government to the issue of Catalan independence. If just two deputies fail to vote the way that is expected on Tuesday, Sánchez’s bid could fail once more.

French unions heading for showdown with Macron on pensions
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/05/french-unions-head-for-showdown-with-macron-on-pensions
The standoff between the French government and trades unions over pension reforms reaches a critical point this week with talks due to resume amid calls for further walkouts and mass protests.
As the country returns to work on Monday after a two-week holiday, union leaders have called for a show of strength from workers in the public and private sectors and a blockade of refineries, threatening fuel shortages.
Talks between the two sides are due to restart on Tuesday after a month of industrial action that has brought transport chaos to Paris and elsewhere in the country. Unions have called for nationwide protests on Thursday and Saturday.
Yesterday police fired teargas at demonstrators in Paris’s busy Gare du Nord station, used by tourists taking the Eurostar service, at the Gare de l’Est and in the Bastille area during demonstrations in which several bins were set alight.

Croats vote to elect new president in tight race
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-croatia-election-president/croats-vote-to-elect-new-president-in-tight-race-idUSKBN1Z404W
ZAGREB (Reuters) - Croatia is voting on Sunday to elect a new president in a race between candidates from the ruling conservative Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the main opposition party the Social Democrats.
In the first round two weeks ago, the Social Democrats’ candidate and former prime minister Zoran Milanovic beat 11 other candidates to come first with 29.6% of votes. He finished ahead of the incumbent president, the HDZ’s Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic with 26.7%.
The president’s role is largely ceremonial in Croatia. The head of state cannot veto laws, but has a say in foreign policy, defense and security matters.
Opinion polls and analysts suggest that the race will be tight, although some give a slight advantage to Grabar-Kitarovic.

North Macedonian PM resigns
https://www.politico.eu/article/north-macedonian-pm-zoran-zaev-resigns/?
North Macedonia's Prime Minister Zoran Zaev resigned Friday, paving the way for an interim government to lead the country to elections on April 12.
The leader of the Social Democrats (SDSM) announced his intention to resign and call a snap election in late October, after EU leaders failed to reach agreement on starting EU membership talks with Skopje.
Oliver Spasovski, the interior minister in Zaev's government, will take over as head of a caretaker administration, which will be voted into power by the parliament late Friday.
Even though polls showed the main opposition party VMRO leading ahead of April's election, a round of surveys published in late December showed the two main parties almost neck and neck, with the SDSM having a narrow lead.
The EU's failure to open accession talks with North Macedonia and Albania sparked huge disappointment in the region and alarmed critics, who warned that the decision could destabilize the Western Balkans. France, which was the main force behind the blocking of talks, said there should be a halt in all EU enlargement until a new process for accepting new members is agreed.

Venezuela's opposition leader Guaido sits at contested parliamentary speaker chair
https://www.dw.com/en/venezuelas-opposition-leader-guaido-sits-at-contested-parliamentary-speaker-chair/a-51921753
Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido presided over parliament on Tuesday following a tense stand-off with security forces, just days after a rival claimed the speaker position.
Former opposition ally Luis Parra named himself parliamentary speaker on Sunday after claiming the support of 81 lawmakers mostly from President Nicolas Maduro's Socialist party.
The same day, Guaido was blocked from entering parliament and held a separate session at a newspaper in which 100 lawmakers backed his speakership. The legislature has 167 seats.
Guaido had vowed to preside over Tuesday's legislative session, dubbing Parra's action a "parliamentary coup."
On Tuesday, National Guard troops blocked Guaido from entering the National Assembly for half an hour, while Parra had occupied the speaker's chair during a brief session.
Guaido was eventually allowed in, at which point Parra was gone. Guaido was then sworn in.
