streets dozens of people have been protesting against the lack of solutions from the government civil society activists and lawyers have filed cases against the governor of the head of the municipal council and the directors of water and health authorities. the people buster are demanding the provision of uncontaminated drinking water as well as health services and good education these are constitutional rights the constitution is merely in qana paper and has not been properly applied to serve the citizens at all. iraq's ministry of environment calls water contamination a very dangerous situation and it's in addition to the lack of water in the province in a statement it said the hell directorate staff and technical teams are working around the clock under the directions by health and environmental ministries to figure out immediate and long term solutions for the issues of pollution and. since last month there have been widespread protests in the province people have

been demanding jobs and better public services including water and electricity prime minister hydrilla bodies government has faced strong criticism for not addressing the basic demand of people here. and as more people fall sick because of a lack of clean drinking water that anger is likely to continue for a job is there a point francis is expected to visit an irish tribe and. mess and dublin a day after calling the sex abuse of children by members of the catholic church repugnant he met eight abuse survivors for ninety minutes on the first day of his trip to ireland but island's catholic church has been tainted by multiple scandals and clued in the sex abuse by priests and abuse of children born to single mothers and care homes the thing that really shocked us all was when he was talking to survivors of. corruption in role with so he literally referred to these people. as translator again was kind of shocked i asked the pope to clarify

literally that somehow just as. they are filled to the top. when the part is due to address around half a million people later on sunday but that number is far fewer than the crowd which created has predecessor thirty nine years ago thousands including abuse victims plan to hold a protest at the same time the back of reports from. the pope's visit to ireland at this moment of crisis in the catholic church was always going to set the global agenda on how the vatican tackles its legacy of child sex abuse the pope francis didn't waste any time. number so. i cannot fail to acknowledge the great scandal caused in ireland by the abuse of young people by members of the church charge of the responsibility for that mattel education the failure of a crazy ass to cost ortiz to adequately address these repugnant crimes has rightly given rise to outrage i myself share the sentiments ireland's prime minister has

been at the helm of social reforms in the country including the recent popular vote to legalize abortion long prohibited by the catholic church he said it was time to build a new relationship between church and state people kept in dark corners behind closed doors. cries for help that went on hurt. and these wounds are still open and there is much to be done to bring about justice and truth and healing for the victims and survivors. holy father we ask that you use your office and influence to ensure that this is done here in ireland and also around the world in this saga of widespread abuse of children by members of the catholic church protests were inevitable. these people looking for action not words from the vatican i do get the feeling though. trust will not be returned within the catholic population

from simply what will bronson say to the population he needs to meet me our actions are going to be pretty serious action for going to be. alone in silent prayer the leader of one point two billion catholics. later in the day away from the cameras he met eight i were survivors of religious and institutional abuse for ninety minutes likely the most emotional moment of his thirty six hour visit for all involved pope francis has gone further than any pope in acknowledging the church's wrongs but as new allegations of abuse continue to surface the biggest challenge to the church in ireland is the church itself. pope francis is an island and arguably one of the darkest moments in the church's modern history become pope francis universally respected as a true reformer reinvigorate face and what the catholic church stands for.

thousands of the faithful croke park stadium to hear pope francis speak his visit is a moment of joy for many believe is an island a country where more than seventy percent of the population identify as catholic but as the country embraces secular values irish society regardless of faith wants to hold the church to account for past wrongs need baka al jazeera dublin. let's listen to a minister is under investigation after he refused to let one hundred fifty migrants enter only leading to a ten day standoff albania island and as least catholic church have agreed to take the asylum seekers after mateo selvin have refused to let them disembark a coast guard boat unless other nations pledged to take them salvatore to that he'd be proud of the prosecutor wanted to interrogate or rest him for defending the borders and security of his country. now peru has granted asylum to hundreds of

the cost crippled by its currency crisis world rich venezuela take desperate measures deal with it struggling economy plus it has a market value of billions but is yet to turn a profit we delve deeper into what's going on at tesla. counting the cost and i just did a. whole. new world. to see. a few years ago you've all know harare's job description was relatively simple a professor at jerusalem's hebrew university specializing in medieval history and a citizen to broaden his canvas led to a nonfiction publishing phenomenon and his elevation to one of the world's best known public intellectuals it came in the form of sapiens harari sweeping energizing history of our species from its birth to the present day charting the effects of farming technology and culture in the formation of what he argues is now

one global civilization it one huge praise and huge sales eight million and counting next to his home a day is an exploration of how the confluence of big data artificial intelligence and biotech could radically alter and divide society and humanity perhaps ending our species altogether or our himself tries to stay at one remove from the data revolution he meditates two hours a day he doesn't own a smartphone now comes a collation of his recent work essays talks responses to readers brought together as twenty one lessons for the twenty first century all of the lessons often read more as observations of trends that aren't likely to end well for homo sapiens i spoke with professor ari recently in tel aviv he is the second part of our conversation. you were talking about how this is a book for right now obviously the politics of right now. more roiled than they've been for

a while so let's talk about some of the major ones going on at the moment breaks it you talk about the possibility even likelihood of bret's it unraveling the united kingdom unraveling the european union you know how how does an revel from this point. is people lose faith in the ability to cooperate with others with other countries they become much more self centered then everybody puts their interests first and it becomes more harder and harder to cooperate if you think that down the road we will see greater and greater corporation then you'll more willing in the present moment to compromise your immediate interests because you say ok in the long run we're all in this together but if you think no in the long run everybody's going to their separate ways than i must protect my interests right now and this you know it's a vicious circle it's a self-fulfilling prophecy then the system immediately or very quickly unravels now

i don't think there is anything inherently wrong with the brics it. britain wanting to be independent from the e.u. the problem is really one of timing that at this moment in history human kind is facing three big problems nuclear war climate change and technological disruption to all of these are global problems they have no national solutions you cannot. prevent climate change on a national basis you can reduce your own greenhouse gas emissions to zero but if the other countries are not doing the same it won't help similarly you cannot regulate ai on a national basis let's say that one very dangerous development is developing killer robots autonomous weapons systems. so every country would say we don't want to do it we are good guys but we are afraid that our rivals are doing it so we have to do

it first if you want to prevent the development and to regulate the development of killer robots then you can do it on a one sided basis of the e.u. or the u.k. saying we have a ban on killer robots because if the chinese are doing it and the americans are doing it very soon the europeans will be forced to break their own ben because they don't want to stay behind so you need more corp not less. it was inspired to some extent to a large extent by fears of greater immigration immigration is a very live issue in the european union and and obviously elsewhere as well you talk in your latest book about not for the first time about culture isn't about it being different from from a racist perspective about it perhaps not being a bad thing to valuate cultures hierarchically. does that not

give license to people who really are just racist and who fear people unlike them coming into the zone as as we see in the e.u. happening at the moment you know there is a danger there of course that that the difference between racism and culture isn't racism is an argument about biology you say these people there is something in their blood there is something in their genes there is something in their biology which inevitably makes them complete the sentence and this cannot be changed it's in their biology. our culture is it's not about biology it's saying there is something in their culture their culture is less respect of women their culture is more authoritarian their culture is whatever and the thing about arguments on about regarding culture is that sometimes not always but sometimes they are correct there are whereas there is no scientific basis for thinking that there are significant

biological differences between people there are good scientific there is a good scientific basis for thinking that there are significant differences between cultures if there are no differences between human cultures you can close the department of anthropology and the history and so forth because you know we're all the same what's the point of studying the culture of somebody else. it doesn't mean that every argument about culture is correct but some of them yes there are differences between cultures and sometimes. they they make it makes good political sense to take these differences into account good political sense but is it the legitimate to say sorry or the wrong kind of culture for us because that's obviously pretty dangerous politically that's a very dangerous political idea what we need to remember that as against biology culture is not immutable cultures change and certainly

people change even if you are born into a particular culture it doesn't mean that for the rest of your life you can't change your worldview your morality your behavior within the lifetime of a person an entire culture can change in a tremendous way then if you think about germany over the last hundred years or so germany have undergone so many different cultural changes the culture of germany in the time of hitler and the culture of germany is a time. america is completely different and at least some of the people are the same the same people same d.n.a. same climate same job griffey so culture is far more mutable but before you jump as a conclusion well these people they come from that culture they will never change so we can't accept them that's going too far and we're living in

a country here which is home to one of the highest profile conflicts in the world between israelis and palestinians as perhaps the or at least one of the leading israeli intellectual public intellectuals out there do you feel that you have a duty to address more specifically that conflict and and what is happening and the justice or otherwise of either side well i have a great of duty an appearance on a personal level especially because i live here and i'm part of what's happening in a part of the conflict as a scientist this is not my field of expertise i'm not an expert on israeli or palestinian politics i'm not an expert on the middle east so i know i have my personal opinions but i want to put them forward as i try very much not to be aware of this confusion. that just because i'm an expert on other things there is a danger that people will take my personal views on this subject as an expert

opinion which it is not so we've been through a few months of. very heightened. clashes in gaza. the threat of potential repeat of what we saw last in two thousand and fourteen the us embassy move to jerusalem. the apparent diminution beyond all reasonable hope of a two state solution so again as as a leading public thinking here how do you view what's been going on the last few months oh it's. it's very bad what is happening. i think the key issue is that tremendous amount of suffering is being caused for millions of people with no good reason and was no obvious solution in sight and when you look at even the the greater picture of what is happening in the

middle east and here i try to speak from my perspective as a globally story and i think the global perspective. the entire middle east is being left behind. with turbot consequences for the people of the middle east for generations to come we are living through a kind of repeat of the industrial revolution but an even grander scale in the nineteenth century the great revolution which changed everything in the world was the industrial revolution a few countries like britain like france like the u.s. led this revolution and they dominated the world for that for the next century or two. most countries and certainly most of the countries of the middle east they missed the terrain and therefore they were conquered and exploited and oppressed for two centuries and one of the main traumas and main main themes that you

constantly hear in the middle east today by palestinians by syrians by egyptians by iraqis is this complaint about how the west exploited the us in how the west concord astern and so forth which all goes back to this basic think that the middle east did not industrialize on time and it's now happening again in the middle east is again missing the train the chinese have learned a lesson the chinese have learned from his own national if they had the same national trauma and china now has kind of for one pointed mind we it's not going to happen to us again this time this revolution the ai revolution we will lead and it will be the west who will be left behind and you see now that they like that the europeans are terrified that the chinese are getting ahead of them but in the middle east everybody almost everybody are oblivious of it and despite their trauma from the industrial revolution they are again missing the train and this

time it's the last train and when was the that's a revolution you still had a chance to catch up so china managed to catch up turkey to a large extent manage to catch up with this train of ai in bioengineering if you missed this you will never have another chance because the implications are so huge this will change humanity itself and what i see now when they look at the greater middle east is that in the it's almost hopeless and they are kind of. writing their future a future of subjugation and exploitation and a lot of anger and hatred but the scenes are planted no end not by america not by china not by japan it's planted by the people in the middle east who are not being a world of what is happening on.
