mostly dominated government this isn't happening in the sunni provinces the sunni provinces for the most part are staying out of this they don't want this compared to the demonstrations of 2013 that led to isis so they're keeping very very quiet and conversely the the shia militias the hotshots are also staying out of this they don't want to be compared to the besiege that put down the green revolution in iran not that long ago so this is the mainstream of iraqi society against the legitimate government i think that's what makes this so potent so dangerous and so serious is it it's mainstream character these are the families these demonstrators are the families of the people who died fighting isis it doesn't get any more mainstream than that and when you say mainstream does it also cross class lines as well that this unemployment issue this frustration well obviously the unemployment is always more serious for those in the lower classes the you know the upper classes have

connections the upper middle classes those who've got good educations are more isolated from that but i think it does permeate all of society and people know you're just one connection away or you're already losing power from you or at least your kids being able to get jobs. that said no one's happy with what the mahdi the prime minister is putting out there i think his speech was a tone deaf and and didn't give very much but it's not clear that the people would have reacted any better had he proposed the real reforms the cutting of the club like sector or the real business warms the opening of the oil sector that would be needed to really generate the private sector jobs that iraq so desperately need so do you think that there is the energy there among these protesters to keep going forward with this. that there is certainly the appearance of that and my reading of the prime minister's speech is that he did more harm than good probably added fuel

go and they'll be heading down to a depth of 110 meters which is so deep that i only have 15 minutes on the seabed and in that time they've got to collect samples and send them back up to the surface and then they have to stay in the wall to submerge for 3 hours to decompress. they drop down. into almost. a scene lit by their dive lights. at the bottom they have to work fast collecting biological samples other divers scan the reef and film it for review revealing a rich a ray of biodiversity. the samples are sent up to the surface. to pick them up and we hold the moment pulled and as the divers stay below to decompress the samples are right back on the esperanza is all manner of life care including all types of molluscs crustaceans sponges and starfish but now you're finding missions

it's really coming out from the people that they're foot of. old man in will chair children and old women who couldn't walk anymore but still wanted to participate and what is striking is that the the influence of the participation of indonesian people so a day prior to when the uprising began many in the nation showed their public support and then we see that in the nations who are among arrested at least in sort all of. the nation's leading the marches in especially the ones in jobs off. we also see that the for the 1st time ever in a nation is charged with treason for the cost of war his name is sort of. joke oh we don't know do have you heard anything from him make sure think this is

something. that can really be dealt with. yeah but i am a little bit. don't go we have. promised lots of things not for bob but none of it has been realized so i just hope. that finally he would be willing to address the root cause of the conflict. and what what would that be as easy as i mean obviously that seems like the underlying issue is a lot of resentment going back decades about wanting independence but what do you see that can be dealt with now because that's a much larger issue. yeah i saw on the best definitely needs to be. not discriminatory type of invest investigation since the uprising began until now morgan 100 the west ones have been detained and charged and the 22 also. being charged for prison while there are west wants to kill the injured

dozens now but there is no single investigation at all where all that's being taken place so there's clearly a. discriminatory process so i think at least. also investigate who cause a lot of sent injuries also west papuan people become more appreciate your insight your expertise on this thank you cameron's president paul by a has ordered the release of hundreds of prisoners linked to the separatist crisis in his country's angle phone regions a national dialogue was launched in cameroon on monday in hopes of ending the conflict only 3000 people have died since fighting broke out in 2017 between the army and separatists who want independence for cameron's 2 english speaking provinces who do. you know. it's sort of the view is the interest not. really.
