Moqtada al-Sadr: At least 15 dead amid fighting in Iraqi capital
At least 15 people have been killed in clashes between Iraqi security forces and supporters of a powerful Shia cleric in the capital, Baghdad.
Officials say dozens more were injured after protesters loyal to Moqtada al-Sadr stormed the presidential palace.
The violence began after Mr Sadr announced his retirement from politics.
I hope we don't see something similar when Justin Welby retires from politics.

I'd send a suitably cheeky retirement card if it would help the Archbishop decide to retire...
Suggestions include "It was going to be hard to replace Justin... no-one had ever figured out what he actually did." or "Happy Retirement. Here's to doing f*ck all." - all from the Moonpig range.
Mind you we don't know who we would be blessed with instead.
There will be some vicious verbal battles, as the LGBTetc. mob attempt to capture the woke citadel.
"Jesus loves me for who I am, so you bigots can't stop priests sodomising wallabies..."
When is he retiring? Should I send him one of my political caricature cartoons?
We'll be fine, we haven't had Christian religious riots in this country since... well apart from Northern Ireland... the Middle Ages.
DJ - you could also add "You were always trying - kind regards - God"
Sam - I think they are halfway there - apart from the wallabies.
Tammly - good idea, especially if he doesn't notice and puts it on the mantelpiece.
Mark - maybe it's a tradition worth reviving as a way to keep warm during winter.
