for a few days with some of that amounts with demanding justice for those students of the college killed by a bus and we want safe roads. over the weekend the peaceful protests became violent when police tried to break up the crowds rubber bullets and tear gas or fired at demonstrators the government ordered schools and bus services to shut down bus driver say they were attacked. we stopped running our buses the students attacked and damaged our vehicles we cannot go on the roads as students who don't drive was sort of a good move by the government trying to quell the violence by cutting internet services to cripple social media and censoring both bangladeshi and international media pro-government student groups are being accused of attacking protesters i'm not sitting on a subway i'm wondering what that's actually i mean all are feeling threatened yeah we wanted a peaceful protest we don't want any trouble occurring around here you can grab a bullet was shot on our brothers at mirco neighborhood they were dispersed we

don't want all of us. demonstrators were further incensed by a government minister who questioned why there was uproar about two deaths and bangladesh and a lack of anger about thirty three dead in a bus crash in india the previous day government leaders say they're going to implement the strews demands for improved road safety but more protests are feared as both the ruling in opposition parties campaign for elections due in december paul chowder john al jazeera. correspondent time be a child three is live for us this hour in dhaka ten b. it does this feel seen as if it's going from bad to worse now. it appears to be i mean right now the streets are quiet you don't see hardly any traffic of course there's no public bus there boycotting the state this side their own security reasons there's been a lot of disturbance in different parts of the city especially an area called science laboratory where the huge procession of protester were coming towards shot

a major safety concern for the media people what was the beginning a very social movement against traffic safety is gradually turning into political and other students demanding is why we were attacked by pro-government demonstrators and police for no reason it was generally a peaceful demonstration it would have naturally died down gradually but now it seems like they're going to go for more protests because they were attacked last three days by the government police and pro-government demonstrators things are looking tense and the election your government is reprehensible and sensitive about any kind of demonstration they're trying to put the blame on the political opposition who say they are inciting this not student themselves in the public opposition is saying that this is something the government is very heavy handed with there was no reason to crack down on school children as young as thirteen to eighteen years of age thank you. unrest is continuing in eastern ethiopia where government forces moved in to arrest leaders in the state of somali federal troops

wider mohammad abu amr was one of thirty six people mostly women and children kidnapped by a soul last month the nineteen year old was killed on thursday after negotiations to release the hostages failed the israeli prime minister has defended the new nation state law which defines israel as a jewish state and downgrades the arabic language benjamin netanyahu told the cabinet meeting the law is meant to protect israel's status israel's druze minority packed a square in tel aviv on saturday in protest at the new law. this is only about the moon. the state of israel is the nation state of the jewish people israel is a jewish and democratic state individual rights are anchored in many laws including the basic law of human freedom and dignity no one harmed and no one intends to harm these individual rights without the nation state law the future of israel as the jewish nation state cannot be ensured for generations to come. therefore we will

establish today a special ministry a committee that will advance those ties and these commitments and in parallel will also recognize those who serve in the israeli military and security services from all religions and ethnicities and simmons following that story for us out of the bureau wester islam andrew clearly benjamin netanyahu is not given to rowing back on this where do you think this is heading next. well it's really every every aa is on the how this protest movement comes together evidently from that remark from netanyahu he's not shifting at all in that special committee you referred to was known about a few days back and it's already been dismissed by all concerned in the process movements as absolutely meaning nothing they there is a haze over exactly what's this special committee can offer some guarantee to those serving in the israeli army perhaps but that isn't enough it would seem when you

look at the pictures of the size of that demonstration and work out that that was the druze demonstration which represents two percent of the population it's easy to work out that when we see demonstrations from palestinians who are citizens in israel which are jew in a week's time they represent twenty percent of the population it could be an even more dynamic picture in terms of protests but what does this mean in the knesset the parliament that passed this law well not a huge amount because the numbers are in favor of netanyahu pushing anything through however it is events that sometimes dictates politics and so it remains to be seen bear in mind that the knesset has been recalled from its summer recess at the insistence of arab list members of the parliament and that is on wednesday that is a session that won't lead to any voting because it's against the regulations

however there's going to be more steam let off that it remains to be seen it's hard to call the cabinet is also discussing this idea of a hamas israel extended ceasefire specifically to do with garza but i mean the immediate backstory on. those demonstrations every friday on the border between gaza and israel so the timing seems a little unusual perhaps. no really i can see why you ask that question it's really quite a. hot it's a regular event the demonstrations but but what we have here is a serious attempt at getting some sort of cease fire long term cease fire deal between hamas and the israelis and nicholai not enough the u.n. special envoy who's been in egypt who are also involved in this the sponsors of this whole attempted a deal is has really completed

a phase of work which is now on the table off the security cabinet which is a separate entity to the regular cabinet that's about to wrap up that the security cabinet will be discussing with intelligence officials high level generals right across the board security will be the primary issue and benjamin netanyahu has canceled an overseas trip because he knows that this situation is growing bigger we will see in the coming hours if the israelis have anything to say on the whole deal is it on is it off well wait and see it definitely isn't likely to have a firm conclusion on sunday but something is definitely going on whether it's positive or negative is unclear and thanks a lot. plenty more news still to come for you here on this half hour also including the story scrambling to protect their leader panic at a military parade in venezuela the president calling an attempted assassination.
