a provocative action because of this incident so the safety for the safety of all the crew members is confirmed that should be a great relief to the japanese government and aid for the salama there on the phone for us in tokyo thank you fadel. well iraq's government is denying accusations that its security forces have shot protesters during 6 days of violent demonstrations at least $104.00 people have now been killed since the protests began and reuters is reporting that another 15 people were killed overnight and one calm has. after days of demonstrations across iraq the number of dead continues to rise in the aftermath of the killings of iraq's interior ministry pushed back an eyewitness account security forces fired live i mean action are protests. and. everyone knows there were no armed clashes or confrontations. between the security

forces and the protesters but there were wicked and he hands the targeted the victims on both sides when we went and checked the bodies of the martyrs the injuries were in the head or the heart it is clear that the shooting did not take place from a close distance or from the area where the security forces were present a serious investigation is ongoing to find out who is behind such a wicked and he miss operation. there have been schools casualties of demonstrators vent their anger at a government that's only been in power for just over a year. the protesters are mainly young men youth unemployment has now reached 25 percent according to the world. we the youth are protesting peacefully what do they want from the youth why are they killing us the protesters say they've had enough of a system that they say is corrupt and serving the interests of a few they say they don't support any political parties but that hasn't stopped the political opposition from backing the protesters and calling for new elections i

think this is a case of political point scoring this is a systemic issue so when you have parties refusing to take part in parliamentary debates making sure there isn't a core and so they can go ahead this is also they compile impression on prime minister i did i did many on sunday the iraqi government played 17 reforms covering land redistribution increased welfare payments to those in need and the construction of 800000 new housing units the government launched a program of home demolitions in september targeting makeshift shelters of the poor . the head of the u.n. mission to iraq a call for violence to stop in a tweet one of the few international voices to speak up as iraq still struggles to deal with the aftermath of the invasion by the u.s. and its coalition of the willing in 2003 iraq. hall still ahead on al-jazeera a lifelong dream the benefits for this one i don't have family there in the fast

the off to a big thunderstorms this mass of rain moves through hong kong you probably saw it on the reports however 53 millimeters was what was officially recorded so think of that and then spread it further west with up into you not as well still with outbreaks of latif rain in sichuan and northern vietnam get some of that right in the next day or so as it stands becomes lighter to the sides and still plenty of options for showers thunderstorms in cambodia and thailand bornean sumatra but they are creeping ever closer to indonesia haven't yet got there but they were. incarcerated. in russia's toughest prisons stripped of their liberties.

missing being caused just like there. in the toilet. bowl of the prison inside you know. on al-jazeera. and i missed you today and reminder of our top stories this hour japan says it's rescued at least 16 north korean fishermen after a collision at sea a japanese patrol vessel gave several warnings to the north korean boat when the accident happened off the sea of japan and was in the area looking for ships in the going fishing and it's also it's. on the italian coast guard says

a migrant boat has capsized there killing at least 9 people had overturned near the island of lampedusa as a patrol vessel arrived to rescue those onboard. and the u.s. has evacuated 2 observation posts and northeast syria and says american troops are one to protect protective kaddish forces a statement from washington seemed to acknowledge a turkish plan to launch a major offensive in northern syria the united nations has drawn up a contingency plan to provide humanitarian aid in the area. while to talk more about that i'm joined now by pan osman says he's the u.n. assistant secretary general and regional humanitarian coordinator for the syria crisis he's in geneva mr minces thank you for being with us on al-jazeera i believe you've already said that you are preparing for the west was in your mind does that look like how many people are we talking about here. well in the northeast part of syria there is about once a point 7000000 people and in fact there's about 700000 people that receive

humanitarian assistance on on a monthly basis we have a sizable of ration united nations international n.g.o.s local n.g.o.s many times actors who respond to extreme needs that we've seen in this area so for us the key concern is really 1st of all to be able not to see any new displacement i think a lot of displacement a lot of suffering has really taken place in this area we also have this humanitarian assistance so artistic want unity of reaching people in desperate need is really important freedom of movement of people a new returns to make sure that there are voluntary in safety and dignity and of course the respect for the international humanitarian law and the principles under which we operate in a very tense and difficult area well we're already hearing that the s.t.'s valley and to defend their territory so how likely do you think it is that we might see a prolonged conflict take even longer than what we've seen already. well we

obviously are very worried about watching it be the implication how to be applied to all of the how in terms of the way forward and what is really going to happen syria you know 89 years of conflict there is 6000000 internally displaced 5 and a half 1000000 refugees in the neighboring country so one really wants to see a peaceful way for why square not to see any more displacement and really not to see anymore conflict already enough is enough people have suffered a lot for the last so many years turned the page to really more peace and stability in the whole country well a lot of the conflict that's taken place up there has also been to do with i still and the u.s. is now saying that they're handing over the responsibility for the detained eisel fighters there to tackle so all that the result has to deal with them and the u.n. likely to have to help with that. mind working on that humanitarian really comment

on that and of course we are worried about any remnants of extreme is that maybe in the area in the sleeping 1000 how this is going to develop and how it will be handled for artists are going to. face with security disability if you go to places it has to be safe to say practice and save delivery for the humanitarian workers so any new arrangement will have really to take into account how to ensure stability and it's safe environment for the humanitarian going to haitians to be able to operate. on a whim to the u.n. assistant secretary general and regional humanitarian coordinator for the syria crisis thank you so much for joining us on out of there. now a scottish court is set to decide if u.k. prime minister barak johnson can be forced to sign an extension lesser to prevent a new deal breaks that scottish judges are considering whether johnson could be jailed if he takes the u.k.

out of the european union without a deal but johnson says he will comply with a new law which forces him to prevent a no deal break so it's on october 31st he submitted new proposals on wednesday which he hopes will lead to a deal for britain to leave the e.u. by that deadline now more than 130 climate change protesters have been arrested in a global demonstration that organizers say will span 60 cities planned by the london based extinction rebellion group at least 21 people have already been arrested there the group is planning a fortnight of what it calls peaceful civil disobedience blocking access to kill roads and bridges and cities around the world join a whole has more from the british capital. we are standing in the heart of government in central london here just outside parliament behind me over there is whitehall you can see a protest blockade across whitehall government offices behind it of course the

office of the prime minister number 10 downing street behind that i'll move you across over here you can have a look at westminster bridge over there also blockaded there are no cars to be seen lots of police of course and looking down the road there towards millbank similarly one blockade another blockade 30 meters or so behind it another one behind that and the bridges leading to this air area also blocked effectively the whole of the parliamentary and government area of central central london shut down to traffic this is the of course the reemergence of extinction rebellion the u.k. based group as you said there are sort of umbrella network of climate and environmental action groups highly diffuse from all over the united kingdom all of this happening in conjunction with similar protests as you mentioned in 60 other cities reportedly and they say that they will be here for 2 weeks or until the government meets some of their many demands now you may recall this group 1st emerged about a year ago in october it rose to prominence in april 6 months ago when they blocked

a number of central london streets oxford street regent street and so on for about a week there were $1100.00 arrests at that point this time around they're even more determined they say thousands more are signed up and willing to be arrested up to $5000.00 people they've told them to refuse bail so that they can try and clog up the city's holding cells and prevent further arrests highly effective this highly determined as i say also highly diffuse because these groups many of them totally autonomous don't know what the others are doing so that even senior members of the extinction rebellion organization say they don't know they can't be sure just how big these demonstrations are going to be and how. it's widespread. well staying with the story in a stray at least 30 people were arrested in sydney for blocking traffic on a main road near its central train station at least 7 protesters were arrested in brisbane the chaining themselves to a bridge and

a new zealand's capital wellington 30 people were arrested for blocking roads near parliament in berlin protesters blocked the city's iconic victory column roundabout rather than a rest of them though police blocked access to the 5 roads that feeds at the roundabout exit polls out of china zia show the country's main religious party and not won the most votes in monday's fractured election but with only 17 percent of the voters it could struggle to form a governing coalition virgin turnout was 41 percent reflecting growing frustration with established parties and their failure to solve the economic crisis it's just the 2nd time too noisy and have been able to choose their parliament since the revolution 8 years ago. and in an important step in sri lanka's upcoming presidential election is underway candidates are filing their nominations with the electoral commission in colombo incumbent president might through palace serious

people have now become kyrgyz citizens statelessness became a real problem after the fall of the soviet union in 1901 new borders were drawn and many found themselves on the wrong side of the border or without the proper documents it took people like an edible carry more from to fill ghana valley lawyers without borders to sky would a country sometimes remote areas reachable only on horseback to find the thousands of stateless people in need the founder of the organization as these big assure of is now being awarded by the un. problem there are a defect of stateless people who had invalid soviet passports or no way to prove where they were born there are also those big wives who automatically lost their citizenship after 991 it's complicated set up but cookie is one of them she came to kyrgyzstan as

a turkish plan to launch a major offensive in northern syria the u.n. has drawn up a contingency plan to provide humanitarian aid in the area president obama says turkey could no longer ignore the threat posed by fighters across the border in northern syria. the withdrawal of u.s. troops from the area has begun following my full conversation last night with president trump as you know we had made a decision and i always said that we may arrive one night unannounced and this decisiveness continues because we can no longer accept the threats caused to our country by these terrorist groups. japan says it's rescued at least 16 north korean fisherman after a collision at sea a japanese patrol vessel gave several warnings to the north korean boats when the accident happened off the sea of japan it was in the area looking for ships illegally fishing in its waters. the italian coast guard says

a migrant boat has capsized there killing at least 9 people it overturned near the island of lampedusa as a pet as a patrol vessel arrived to rescue those on board iraq's government is denying accusations that its security forces have shot protesters during 6 days of violent demonstrations at least 109 people have been killed since tuesday with most of the violence concentrated in the capital baghdad reuters is also reporting that 15 people were killed overnight more than 6000 people have been injured more than 100 fatty climate change protesters have been arrested in a global demonstration that organizers say will span 60 cities planned by the london based extinction rebellion group at least $21.00 people have already been arrested there the group is planning a fortnight of what it calls peaceful civil disobedience blocking access to key roads and bridges in cities around the wilds well those are the headlines the news continues here off the inside story stay with us.

protesters in iraq are demanding the prime minister step down they also want a complete overhaul of the political system the government's responded by announcing a list of reforms but will it be enough this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program today with me peter dubey iraqi protesters have lost their patients with what they say is decades of corruption and

a lack of services they're demanding that the prime minister adel abdul mahdi resign and the whole political system should be overhauled maki says there is quote no magic solution and any progress will take time the government's announced a list of reforms to address some of the grievances have been more protests than some attacked the headquarters of political parties and t.v. stations in baghdad on saturday the police responded by using live rounds and tear gas at least 100 people have been killed in 5 days of protests parliament had planned to hold an emergency session on saturday but it never happened however the speaker of the parliament did make some promises. loans will be given in the form of credits bank credits for the purposes of a stablish in factories and providing of course this will enable us to steer away from any corruption so there will be no cash loans and instead credit will be given for the establishment of factories. well the top u.n.

official in iraq has called for an end to the violence many and he's tweeted saying deeply saddened by the senseless loss of life 5 days of reported deaths and injuries this must stop i call on all parties to pause and reflect those responsible for violence should be held to account but the spirit of unity prevail across iraq will get to our guests in just a moment of firsts al jazeera imran khan has the latest for us from baghdad. prime minister mahdi is facing the biggest crisis his year old government has faced yet a lot of the opposition political parties a lot of the religious parties including influential figures like the soma. the most influential one of the most influential shia clerics. souther and from the former prime minister hi the body saying that elections need to be held and they also boycotted a emergency session of parliament that was supposed to take place on sunday

actually didn't happen so a lot of these politicians are looking at this protest movement they're seeing it get larger and larger and more popular and they decided they're going to try and put themselves with the protesters show support for the protesters in a bid to win support for any elections that may will come nowhere nowhere near elections right now the parliament hasn't been dissolved the government hasn't been dissolved but that's certainly the talk on the streets and in the corridors of power in baghdad is what happens next now although this is a political crisis the only streets the protests are still getting larger and larger in syria and this is interesting enough syria in the south protestors not only attacked government buildings but they attacked political party headquarters after they did that they started chanting now syria is free from political parties that goes to show you how much anger there is not just at the government but at the politicians of all stripes what the protesters seem to be saying is that it's not

just about this government it's not just about previous government there's a structural problem here there's a problem of corruption which goes back a decade that's led to this lack of development that hasn't meant that they've been able to get jobs so it doesn't matter really if there are new elections if the same people in the same rules are put back in place say the protesters what the protesters are looking for is a. change in the structure of governance in iraq they want something anything that will allow corruption to stop without money to be spent in iraq now that's a big big challenge for the government and for the opposition parties now the opposition parties as i say and religious parties are throwing their support behind the protest movement what difference that makes to the protest movement remains to be seen and actually i have to say with the anger from the protesters in the south and the central parts of iraq i'm not entirely sure lots of political observers and

analysts i've spoken to say the new entirely sure what the protesters will accept that support from those politicians and from those religious parties this is a wrong inside story. ok there we are here we go let's introduce our panel here today on inside story joining us from the northern iraqi city of erbil is deloitte i'll dean president of the middle east research institute in london we have a man saw director of the iraq initiative at chatham house and joining us here in doha is a doing. middle east analyst and a contributor at open democracy welcome to you all. in erbil who can stop the violence in iraq. well the the violence will eventually have to stop but may not be immediately people are waiting for the government to really deliver on certain things and there are different political parties and forces that have got there are

involved in entangled in this and they would wait to see what happens next this violence was not a product of. one day spontaneous spark that may cascade this has been happening growing because of the weakness in the government institutions because of the political dynamics and secure dynamics that have been changing inside the house of shia in the south as well as in baghdad itself there's a power rivalry in baghdad there are regional powers that are involved so basically this as it's getting worse and getting more complicated is it becoming more difficult to calm down and stop and this is visible in the panic situation that is reflected in the speaker of the parliament statements in the reaction of the prime minister as well as the rest of the governments to shows that are now reacting to events by promising more than they can deliver promising the

same thing as before but this time committing more money and more budget that they can afford so the quagmire is getting deeper the dialogue between the government and or the parliament and the demonstrators is actually not necessarily dialogue with all the components of the demonstrators so essentially the violence or the demonstrations to begin with may not necessarily disappear overnight without really this dragging on until something happens because the demonstrators are not only asking for more promises which they do not believe it will be delivered they have lost faith in the system they want this political elite to change they want maybe new elections they want a lot more than this government or parliament can deliver man saw in london has this whole situation been exacerbated because the authorities haven't it would appear to me been able to work out a response. yeah i mean very clearly this is not the 1st time that you've had

protests in bus or elsewhere in the country protests have been a reality of the daily lives of iraqis throughout the country for many years but what we've been increasingly beginning to see is a more violent response to protests beginning in buswell last september 28th and then the other areas what these protests are our mentions they're fundamentally a iraqis giving up on the political system the political system that since 2003 has failed to represent most iraqis and it's been a political system of elite bargains where the elite benefit so what's important to know of these protests is the weakness of the state the weakness of this government in particular one year after its formation has shown that there is basically an inability to either meet the demands of the protesters or be able to handle protests and 'd so violence becomes the only option that many of these elites

perhaps are seeing as a way to quell these protests and to be honest it worked last year and bus after 2 days of killing certainly some protesters that squash the protests that equation has been used again this year and both of that and elsewhere the question is to what extent and how much violence the government could use to try and bring down these protests because you know to see cosmetic changes because when it reforms aren't enough 16 years on so you do in here in doha is that the issue for the prime minister and is that creating a space in which other people might move in as much as people protest on the streets to pick up on the points coming out of london protesters in streets in effect saying we are done with politicians we're done with the traditional system of course no help salute the peter the people in iraq are protesting against the downfall of for regime unemployment providing jobs and you jobs to the iraqi use is not going to sell to secure an issue in iraq is not going to see. the security issues in iraq is not going to solve the infrastructure issue in iraq protesters

have been protesting against reforms for the past few years nothing has been happened and the promises happen throughout every single electoral campaign that happened throughout each governmental cabinet within each parliament nothing has happened even people who contributed and fought against isis within the war never got their salaries or compensations back after the war people are done and fed up by the empty promises they want to see change in iraq and they realize that change will only happen with the downfall of an it off a regime that was installed by a foreign invader for foreign occupier and is currently controlled by a regional power players such as iran which is why the un to round sentiment is very loud and clear and those protests today do know is there another fight coming potentially down the political pipeline and it's the way that. is making demands offset against the way the speaker of the parliament is clearly positioning himself for something but we don't quite know what he's positioning himself for

but essentially the positioning of every political leader who have made statements so far has been to distance themselves from the government from corruption from the power politics and try to be seen to be siding with the demonstrators and their demands but actually every one of them has failed to do so because the people not only are more aware and they are being exposed to this for so too long they've been rejecting the entire system now the parliament itself. which consists of all the forces that we mention is now seen as the ugly face of the of politics because of a it's lack of focus lack of vision lack of ability to institutionalize to actually state build and it's also the reflecting the 0 in tackling in gauging in power politics in the in the negative dynamics that are spiraling with time now. very

early on decided to withdraw his members from the parliament only to be seen to be siding with people and ask for the resignation of the but the rest of the shia groups as well as some of the sudanese have actually sided with as well as kurds sided with abdul mahdi and iran seems at least apparently at this stage doesn't want ideal of dramatic government to fall that doesn't mean this government will survive it doesn't mean that i've been mighty himself may not want to go or in a month or 2 maybe iran also wants change in the place as one of the house of shia but as things stand they see it as a high risk strategy to change government in response to these violence now there are other group.
