karishma viaz, al jazeera, kuala lumpur. >> anthropologist was at the protest, you were there and there have been previous protesters in the past. how significant is the second day of this protest? >> i think it's quite significant. in two ways, previous rallies in 2007 and 2011 and 2012, 13, sorry, were a prelude to a general election. this rally is not a prelude to a general election but galvanizing against one prime minister. i think the second is that the rally has been one of the longest we've seen here. we see there is a strong showing out there which shows the

dissatisfaction amongst the general populace is really significant and people are willing to sleep overnight on the street of kl and rough it out. >> the dissatisfaction is it just to do with the financial scandal that we are all talking about or does it actually go a lot wider than this? is there a general dissatisfaction with mr. najib? >> i think there's a wider dissatisfaction, for instance what's happening with the economy. a lot of people are feeling pinch. a 6% gdp was recently introduced. so people are feeling the pinch and a scandal such as the one that's been widely reported about the $700 million u.s. dollars makes it quite apparent that there are some who are benefiting unduly perhaps and some that aren't benefited from

affirmative action policies and the wider benefits in general. those people are showing and demonstrating their dissatisfaction on the streets of kl in recent days. >> effectively removing people who criticized him off the back of these protests do you believe there's enough momentum for a change of government for him to step down? do you believe this is possible? >> anything is upon especially in malasian politics but i think this is really the beginning rather than the end. this isn't the last i'm sure and not the end of a process of hoping and arguing for fairer elections and cleaner elections especially. i think it's the beginning of the renewed push for better governance in malaysia. and i think the scandal around najiw razak, has brought forth the scale of the system and the

systemic bad governance that the citizens are having to deal with on a daily basis. >> we have to leave 30th, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> to japan, tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of tokyo to protest against a security bill, whether or not to ease restrictions on japan's military, troops could fight abroad for the first time since world war ii. similar protests were held when the bill was pushed through japan's lower house last month. now the sentencing of three al jazeera journalists on saturday has been condemned worldwide. baher mohamed, mohamed fahmy and peter greste were convicted of

sydney. >> reporter: peter greste has just finished his press conference to the rest in sydney. >> a positive sign in as much as we need to keep public attention, public awareness about our case and its gross injustice. remember i'm absolutely convince they'd one of the main reasons why i'm here today one of the reasons i was deported was because we had so much public support because so many people around the world were aware of the injustice in our regional trial and made it almost impossible for the egyptian government to continue to hold me there. we need to make sure that that noise doesn't die away. and so the media attention that we've been getting is absolutely vital. we need to keep it going. >> where does the campaign go from here? what are the elements of it? >> obviously there is a legal aspect to this.

we'll be looking at every possible option for appeal. we will also be looking to president sisi to issue a pardon. he did say several times before he would pardon us if we were ever convict pend the world's attention is focused on this particular trial, of rule of law due process and freedom of the press. we've seen a gross injustice in these convictions and president sisi now has an opportunity to correct that and make it very clear that egyptia egypt still s respect those principles. diplomatic and political support, i've also spoken to the minister julie ibish, who will use every means at her control to get justice, everyone we can

in fact to remind egypt that the world really does care about this case and what it stands for and of course we'll be looking to continue the very powerful social media campaign. >> peter, thank you very much. his chief concern is for his two colleagues my two colleagues back in cairo. human smuggling case in which 71 syrian refugees died. the refugees were found dead in the back of a truck in austria on thursday. the three bulgarians and an afghan are being held in custody because they are considered a flight risk. 26 refugees smuggled in a truck, pulled over on a chase in the western border with germany. trying to get to germany. well, the refugee crisis is the
