man who led the country's fine to independence from pakistan, a national hero, fondly known as bunker bung do. once revered and respected, now reviled and repudiated. and that has everything to do not with him. but with his daughter. shake her seen that she was in her 5th term is bangladesh as prime minister until today. when she resigned and then fled the country. tonight, the people of bangladesh find themselves in an all too familiar place. a political vacuum being filled by the military and brit golf in berlin. this is the day the everyone is happy with the and the i'm taking

responsibility for your life and property and giving you my word that you will not be disappointed the time promising that we will bring justice for all the killings and the injustice that has happened have faith in the army and the armed forces also coming up at riots on the streets of the united kingdom. the british prime minister promise is a hard line on those involved in the unrest. what a by the a power motivation. this is not protest. it is pure bonds. we will not tolerate the tax on marks or obviously in communities. so the full force of the law will be visited on all those for identified as having taken part in these activities. which to our viewers watching on cbs in the united

states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with a prime minister, ousted from power in the army general, who had stepped into the void saying he will not linger on monday, bangladesh. he's long time prime minister shake. i've seen a report and they received an ultimatum from the army to step down. less than an hour later she had resigned and was on a military plane out of the country. the armies top general spoke to the country, moments later to confirm the prime ministers resignation. at the same time, issuing to request to the people stop the violence and trust the military to put an interim government in place. a general in control promising to restore democracy and the will of the people. thank with that she has a history of military lead cruz, but that is not what appeared to be happening today. many of bangladesh and say, gross abuse has a power shattered their faith in prime minister shakes. i've seen

a she was forced out when the army refused to put her leadership on life support. can the people trust the army now to reset a democracy? we have this report. after months of protests and hundreds of people killed, sanklo dashes, anti government protesters got what they wanted. prime ministers, shake casino has stepped down to the owner by prime minister, has resigned from a post in. and we will form an interim government to run the country. that's for sure, let me go and show local, then jumped to god willing, what are the dimensions? do you have should we will fulfill them and we will bring the ship piece back cda, new york, defying a nationwide military curfew. 1000 storm shade, casinos, official, residents after her departure the day after deadly clashes killed over 90 people.

standing in the official residence, we probably declare the deal to christie has come to an end. you should see now what the longest serving prime minister bangladesh. critics accused her government of misusing state institutions and using deadly violence against opposition active as to stay in power which the government has denied. protesters also lashed out at a statute fussiness father, monte block mine who led bangladesh to independence and was assassinated in the military who won his political party. while me league has benefited for decades from quotas, reserved a share of government jobs to freedom fighters who fought for independence and their families. the reintroduction of photos that have since been stressed again is what initially sparked the least student led protests and which shared custody not

gone. demonstrators hope to see a new era with lasting reforms. the title should the and the state that she has here to the, to the, the side, the really the, the military is promise to launch an investigation into the deadly crack down on protest. well, i'm joined now by michael coleman. the head of the south asia instituted the wilson center in washington dc. mister oklahoma and it's good to have you with this. you know, we, we've heard from some people in bangladesh that on their, their trust in the military, in the army is, you know, i need make, at best. i can the people have faith in the army general in the army when

they are set, when they're told that we want to follow and carry out your will. are yes, a great question. i don't think they have a choice, but to trust in the military, in this immediate period just because you know, the, the want me leave. what had been the ruling party has been disgraced and it's out of the picture. and the other major political party, the b n, t has been very weak and is very divided, it's top leader has major health issues, other leaders of the opposition, other top leaders, many of them are abroad. and so, you know, there's, there's not much else. and i think that given that the unrest has not been rained and given that you continue to have cases of violence playing out across bangladesh . i think that, you know, the army is really seen is, is the one entity that has to somehow manage and try to ease that the, that violence. but indeed,

i think that the many and on the dash would much prefer that the army continued to do it is largely done for the last 15 years. and that is stay, you know, stay in the barracks, not play a role in politics, but it appears quite clear that when it comes to trying to establish the interim government, which won't be easy. yeah, the military will, will have to oversee that just because there's no other logical, logical actor that could do so. but the, the correct now that we saw in the last few weeks of protestors that meet the deadly clashes with police. a was the military, not part of that security app around is that was used against protesters a yes. so the military did not play a prominent role in the crack down in the sense that it was other entities the police for sure. as well as, um, start dish elements of the allow me league, particularly the, the student wing of the one the league. they were doing much of the, the dirty work at the crack down. you did have some border troops that had been re

deployed away from the border, which was dangerous, given, have all outside of the bangladesh. me and more border is now. but still on the whole, you really did not have the, the, the military included in the army playing a prominent role. and indeed, there had been some indications that there were some on the use in the part of some elements of the military about playing that type of role. and, you know, just over the weekend, very, very, uh, you know, significantly you had a statement issued by several formal army chiefs and other top brother, a rubber tire senior military officials, indicating that the military should not be involved in this type of thing. describe what the government and the time was doing as a disgraceful campaign. so i think that the army is a bit uncomfortable about the idea of being in the middle of all. but the, the army, they became a participant in this day by giving the, the ultimatum to the prime minister. and then facilitating according to the reports, the prime ministers exit from the country. i mean, she left the country in

a military aircraft, so their credibility or their culpability. it can not be disputed. right? or yeah, i mean, that's absolutely. and you know, many, many observers were surprised to shake the scene resigned as quickly as she did. and clearly someone had to have sent a message to her that essentially was increasingly on stay for her to stay in the country was increasingly dangerous for her to stay in power. and i imagined that message had to come at some point from someone within the mill ups or perhaps even the army chief himself. but yes, the army absolutely is not seen as an angel by, by many, an in bangladesh, just because it was involved in the crack down. uh for sure. and um, you know, the close relations that the army has had with shake a scene at her party for the duration of her 15 consecutive years and power. that doesn't help the armies cause now either given that to shake

a scene has become radioactive. in the sense that she's so many of turned against her in bangladesh. well, india obviously hasn't turned against her. that is where she can seem to fled to the today. so do we know why and how significant is india's influence in bangladesh? i mean, it's natural that she wants it to india. i mean, india is, has probably been the bangladesh is most important partner, and certainly the closest friend of a scene is seen as however, it has a very close personal relationship with india's leader in their rent dra never end remotely. but um, as i understand, she's not gonna stay in india, she will stay for some time. but i believe that her plans are to go to the u. k. where she has that, where she has family look, you know, india has really been impacted in a big way by this crisis and by her us her by her stepping down. just because india has long viewed any political alternative to i've seen

a as very detrimental if not outright dangerous for it's interest. it views the b and p and its allies as essentially dangerous as long as the factions. so, you know, i think that india is going to have a tough, tough road ahead. and i would think that it's, it's been in touch with, with the army in bangladesh to convey its concerns and to try to convey its, its own interest to ensure that whatever interim government emerges will reflect india's own hopes and, and an interest for, for bangladesh. but yeah, i think that perhaps no other country has been impacted as do it seriously as india by this dramatic change of events in bangladesh. michael who gammon with the wilson centers of south asia institute, mr. coleman, we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. as the police in britain say they have arrested almost 400

people in connection with the days of unrest in the migraines. and that you case most one community, the killing of 3 girls at a dance class in the city of south fort by a 17 year old man spark the volumes, the trouble erupt. and soon after the killings and british police say online, this information played a part in fueling the riots. britton's prime minister here storm or has promised to bring the full force of the law to bear on people who took part in what she called an active far right sucker. the often mass of attacks by fall right groups on this hotel enrolled, the room targeting the assign them see cause living here some demonstrate to say the violence escalate to, to be on the expectations. how you arrive. just say about 1 o'clock to a peaceful protest. i didn't want any violence to finish, so a police officer knocked some contracts, and it didn't show up cuz we were a little bit scared to stop. but i understand why people are being upset and,

and the retaliation from it. simon, the unrest is erupt. it in several towns and cities across parts of the you can use in days. it was initially spoke with the killing of 3 young goals and adults close to midtown to south boot report spread on social media. falsely claims the perpetrator was an asylum seeker would recently it arrived in new york. okay. all right, so austin, being met by come to protest. prime minister to a stomach has denounced the disorder. what a by the power motivation. this is not a protest. it is pure bottoms. we will not tolerate the tax on marks or i misled in communities. so the full force of the law will be visited on all those for identified as having taken part in these activities. but condemnation,

by the government is not dissolved will fee is these members of london's muslim communities say they no longer feel safe? i feel really stress. i'm very, it's very distressing a moment in our life when they've, i've seen this kind of, uh, fluoride activity i guess. but and, and to move in. so we're moving few out and i think city, this could be anything were to happen to us. well, i feel fraction skid to come out of my house because a, a muslim people will not terrace. that's how i feel like i feel like we're being threatened. it's not safe from countries including indonesia and nigeria. have warned the citizens living in or visiting the u. k. to stay vigilant and avoid the phone right. demonstrations right? charlie chosen pill. she is standing by and left it on the story for us. charlotte, we know that police in the u. k. traditionally did not carry fire arms,

but this proposal from the prime minister to have a standing army of police to deal with the right. is that going to be the exception to the rule? yeah, we've heard today that this standing army will be deployed. what does that mean exactly? well, essentially, they will be specially trained police officers who will be assisting local forces website and violence is found to be breaking out. now it was your question, the prime minister has said very clearly he's dismissed cold for the army to be brought in. so you aren't going to see that sources escalation. these will be just specially trained police officers, but it really does reflect how strongly the government is and how quickly the government is trying to crack down on these riot. they've been a number of announcements, including about the justice system. really trying to warn anyone who might be considering taking part, going full with that they will be

a met with the full force of the know they will be processed through the justice system quickly. is the government. it said that they're all present places available. the justice system in here is very stretched, they've stressed those who are taking costs and this kind of activity will. so the full force below we, we've had the countries today, the parts of the world issuing warnings to their citizens who were traveling to the u. k. including nigerian indonesia, just how dangerous are the streets of britain to now as well that is taking part in this off suddenly in absolute minority. nevertheless, this violence has spread to towns and cities across the u. k. across the england and moving a line. and so there is a considerable concern is you heard in the report that you just played among the members of the most them community. clearly we know that the targets of respondents

have been for example, most we know hotels, housing aside and see kids as well. and that is causing a lot of concern, but as i said, the government has responded by saying that it was intended to prep down the list very quickly. and very funny. some of the people in the protest and say that this stems from legitimate grievances about immigration is the u. k. government, is it listening to that point of view? the case on the head of the prime minister has dismissed that out. right. as have many others as a ticket on that has said that this is not protest, this is a binding cell gallery putting the responsibility very clearly with fall, right. agitates as many of said that this is not the moment to be talking about any concerns about immigration, of which there are some, it has been a tough because conversation here, particularly in last month election. but this,

what is going on here is vine and criminal activity. and not really is the face of the government at the moment, so it doesn't feel for us in london to charlotte as always. thank you. i'm doing now by him run off and he is the chief executive of the center for countering digital age. he's an authority on extreme is of this information and conspiracy theories. mr. osman is good to have you with this. and can you explain to us how online this information played a role in the riots of the past week in the u. k as well? and we meet immediate altima off of the terrible attack in southport. what we saw was people rushing not to try and work out the truth, not to come together and say, how terrible this was, but to deliberately spread live use in order to target particular communities. and we seem to stop them, do we know after every atrocity or try to be these days the people are immediately

rushing out to blaming. ready choose all l t v t cube of people. ready or in this instance, margaret must lives in particular. and so we saw not only a rush of people seeking to what the noise this moment, but move crucially when people went to those platforms to try and work out what else is going on is a, you know, it's a normal thing that we do these things when something terrible happens, we go to social media, social media algorithms, with selecting this information and making sure they were at the top of feeds. why? because they weren't count as how back is that this information gets disproportionate engagement and that fully keeps people on these platforms on keeping that moving for the truth, something that on social media, your very unlikely to find you say, um you know, after the killings of the girls, they rush to spread this just information. do we know where they are?

are we talking about people or groups in the u. k, or where they are for, and state actors who maybe are, you know, playing a role in that. it is almost certain that countries like russia and china, russia in particular, were rushing in to fill the vacuum of information when we're trying to work out what happened. and when the police was still dealing with grievously home to children. in those moments we saw saw cells, things trying to western eyes the moment, but we also saw a domestic product as we saw people that are well known, the far right lies the kinds of people that will target any community if they have a chance white supremacist the migration to best and we saw them rushing in with the lies as usual saying it was a muslim. and then they said initially was that most of the asylum seeker saw those

people. and of course, x is a particularly bad platform for this. the platform. busy only noticed twist, but what we saw was some of those people who would be best buy x to e o must then let back all when he took the plot. they of course have been banned from being super spread is of hate filled this information. now that they're back on the platform, not only how they've been given that magazines back, but actually the magazines being charged out of the we saw as well, the proprietary software. mr. most kids out spreading this information, in fact, suggesting that breton is on the break of a civil war, which is preposterous. this isn't a single task. this is just a bunch of drunken lunatics running around trying to have some fun by taking advantage of this. my, you advise the governments on how to counter hate speech. what advice would you

give the u. k. government now as well the same advice i'd give to the european union right now is use the powers you've just given yourselves. like the united kingdom of the european union in the past year have passed legislation, the digital services act and the you wouldn't. my team in brussels is talking to the commission on to a to the, recognizes out that on a regular basis to the procedure department which, which passed people mind safety act and not 10 between $2.00 and $3.00, use the powers. you go to these companies that accountable me, you know, you, you, you legislative because you recognize that was a problem. it's impulsive that in this moment i know that the person is left the european union. but i would hope that the commission, the united kingdom a talking to each other saying between us, what powers do we have a to help the united kingdom deal with this moment of great,

great potential. huh. yeah. and you, you say that on a day that a us federal court ruled that google is and a legal monopoly and has abused its power on the market to that. it's monopolized as, according to the court. let me just ask you, put that in mind. what about viewers and, and consumers of social media content? what advice do you have for them? social media is a wonderful platform for entertainment and connecting with people you already know . it's not a very good platform for learning information about something that's happening. and if you take action based on the information that you get from social media, you might like these people. ready here, find yourself in a jail cell eventually, because the truth is that this information spread disproportionately quickly on

social media. it is a dangerous place to try and get good information for all. it's the best thing that we can do is tend to legitimate sources of news. people that have journalistic standards that have to abide by the, by negligence little by defamation, lower and everything else. like you're like you write a section where you told constantly, especially on social media that the mainstream media or the journalist traditional gatekeepers are not trustworthy. that's, that's a, that's a big obviously we know it's not true, but a lot of people believe it got 20 seconds. um. do you think, do you see this situation getting better or worse in the short term? look, i think so this is going to spend a lot of action from those right. get action. so you have these new powers and um, i very much hope to see them take action. the truth is that this is a disaster for social media companies, because not only how they stime done something, you know,

this isn't just about something, but as a mile connection to on to offline home. there was a very specific connection. the people out there who are writing, being lied to by algorithms and by products is on central media platforms are driven now to attack them. police attacking, documented emergency muslim business it from the fiber to the nation. and unfortunately, we're out of time, but we appreciate your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. of the day he continues online. you'll find us on x also and i'm just wondering and youtube the news. you can follow me on social media, brent dot tv. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody, the
