reports. it's the worst crisis the country has seen in more than 3 decades. a violent crackdown by police and military against thousands of demonstrators has left several dead thousands of others have been arrested but. the repression has been horrible they beat a bullet to date with clubs and didn't. as always the return on top when we always get stepped on. demonstrators blame the government for a long list of social problems from economic inequality to growing lack of access to public health care. there is no medicine there is no supplies to treat wounds we don't have enough stuff there is a massive deficit. according to medical professionals dozens of protesters have suffered wounds from firearms and have sustained injuries to the face and torso

from projectiles like tear gas canisters and rubber pellets the united nations along with international human rights groups are calling for security forces who have been documented using excessive violence against peaceful protesters to be held accountable. there have been specific cases not only violating the right to peaceful assembly but also the right to life and bodily integrity they're also been cases of sexual assault things that cannot be tolerated. on wednesday sub secretary of the interior said he expects that any alleged human rights violations will be thoroughly investigated. we are live in state of emergency and i'm really tired. but this doesn't not just to fight human rights abuses. while a majority of protests in the country have remained peaceful there's also. when widespread vandalism and hundreds of businesses have been looted a military in force curfew has been announced for a 5th night in a row and has been extended to other cities of cheating the concern now as more

people continue to join in the demonstrations and violate that curfew is that the violence that we've seen over the past few days will only worsen. between protests that continue to intensify and a government who seems unable to regain the trust of the public a peaceful solution to the unrest appears to remain out of reach. something. now imagine investigation is underway in the united kingdom after the body is a fatty 9 people were found in a container truck prime minister bias johnson has pointed the finger at people traffic is describing what's happened as an unimaginable human tragedy the discovery was made in the town of gray's from where paul brennan reports. the circumstances of the grim discovery are still uncertain ambulance paramedics were the 1st to be called to the scene the police won't reveal who it was who raised the alarm but it was immediately obvious that the people inside this container lorry

were beyond medical help shortly before 1 40 am today we received reports that a number of people had been found inside the lorries container at the wall to great industrial park on easton avenue in grace emergency services attended but sadly all 39 people inside the container had died police now believe that the container travelled from zebra to purfleet and docked in the thora carrier shortly after 12 30 am on wednesday morning but they also say that the tractor part of the truck is believed to have originated in northern ireland and the british parliament the prime minister and the leader of the opposition were united in shock and sorrow now this is an unimaginable tragedy and truly heartbreaking i know that the thoughts and prayers of all members are with those who lost their lives and their loved ones i do pay an enormous tribute to the emergency services who've gone to the scene to deal with it all of us who just think for a moment what it's like to be a police officer or a firefighter to open that container. and have to remove $39.00 bodies from it and

deal with them in a program in an appropriate and humane way what unimaginable horror did the $39.00 victims and your refrigerated lorries are designed to be at tight that those 39 people suffocate in a claustrophobic and terrifyingly inevitable death or did they freeze to death in temperatures below minus 20 degrees celsius. there are echoes of the 2015 tragedy in austria when 71 people suffocated to death in the back of an airtight lorry which the people smugglers had simply abandoned in the august heat. the 25 year old driver of this lorry has been arrested and is being questioned as a potential murder suspect. the truck itself is not removed to a secure location to prove docs so the bodies can be removed forensically but this investigation is only just beginning and somehow somewhere the families of $39.00

people are going to have to be traced and told their loved ones fate paul brennan al-jazeera and 6. lebanese protesters are still rallying across the country despite the rain and the heavy military presence major streets remain blocked in the capital beirut and other cities demonstrators are demanding the removal of a political system they say is corrupt and beyond repair prime minister saad hariri has presented reforms in an attempt to appease protesters for the demonstrations have continued for a 7th day. thank you mr marion welcome to new england will remain to see to the protesters continue across the country and continue confronting this region wherever you. saudi arabia's foreign minister has been fired after less than one year in the role the announcement was broadcast on state television abraham bin suffers only appointed in december last year he'll be replaced by the

stay with us anything with the prime minister to. be sure is to give a break to all the 30. i believe in this country the great great. time the people joining me tonight follow me with drama with bricks it. for years most of american families in a chicago suburb suspected they were being watched by the government they were white. and i'm really good you're in the stream join our conversation today with your thoughts via twitter or by using our live you tube top. i'm familiar call spots around the neighborhood strange playing for the rubbish

also clicking sounds on the phone and i chill home visits from federal agents it was the made in 1990 s. and these signs told the british illinois community that something wasn't quite right the newly released documents recalled the feeling of being watched sheds light on what they feared all along but the federal bureau of investigations had been spying on them for years took a look at the cameras are right there. thank those people that are to take down. the band. wagon. the. bridge you mosque leaders who've been under surveillance for years. since august of 9099 i've been working to legally expose the very real to receive a middle 'd eastern terrorists through 'd american citizens 'd at home and abroad the successful investigation which was. the trail. trail.

i want to find out everywhere that our name is on a list. and i need. to see weaver so if the f.b.i. has a file they will release. it . and joining us to discuss this documentary is its director filmmaker and our we she is based in los angeles but speaks to us today from her hometown in bridge view illinois where both she and i grew up together also with us we have. teddy at the center for. institutional rights in new york. on a lawsuit to compel the government to hand over f.b.i.

surveillance documents the movement of black lives and finally coming to the founder and president of the muslim wellness foundation of the nonprofit focused on the mental health of american muslim communities can you lead joins us from philadelphia pennsylvania we also reached out to the f.b.i. to be part of this program to send us a comment that comment wells no comment when you start i want to start with the community people online tweeting about this after getting a chance to see it streaming here in the u.s. at least this is a tweet from someone who's handle is no child for the f.b.i. several people are turning their heads that way and we'll discuss why in a minute but they write this stock human jury shed light on a pervasive yet almost invisible manifestation of every day islamophobia and i am grateful for aasiya for validating our experiences r.c.i. of course i will give this one to you because i feel similarly it's the community that you and i grew up in since kindergarten 1st grade and it was

a secret but it was one we all knew about talk to us about the impetus for you and why you wanted to be the person to uncover what this was. yeah like you say we grew up in a neighborhood where the van thing unmarked cars parked down the street when our parents warning us not to talk to strangers in suits and it was an open secret with something we all knew about we knew that we were under surveillance that was something we rarely talked openly about we rarely talked about outside of whispers and. it's something that i experienced and i thought was normal for such a long time in fact until i went off to college and realized oh most americans actually don't grow up this way this is a unique experience to growing up muslim in america you know i worked as a radio journalist for a long time and at a certain point 6 years ago i decided i really want to get to the bottom of what really happened in our neighborhood you know we live with so much paranoia with so

much which is actually in effect of all the valence i wanted almost to check boxes off like this happened this didn't happen true false and so i started digging into it and investigating and when i found out with so much bigger than anything we. had had expected or ever thought actually happened a lot of people could be watching this and thinking oh but you know september 11th that was the impetus for the f.b.i. to salt looking at communities pull this happened before september 11th and also the f.b.i. be looking into particular communities in many many decades can you help us understand that a little bit more fly internationally what are they doing i think i think the reality is that the point of departure for this kind of conversation is really this notion of predictive policing and so in any time of crisis in this nation real crisis or imagined crisis law enforcement tends to default from. investigating criminal activity after it's happened to this notion that somehow we

can predict and intervene in advance and i think we need to start doing the work of collapsing that notion with with races and islamophobia and targeting because invariably it's historically dysphasia. communities that end up being targeted are the circumstances under a crude really really a crude kind of stereotypical notion that you can make determinations about individuals behavior based on their fundamental identity and so my experience representing people who have been targeted like this is that not only does it infringe on civil liberties not only as a tear communities are but it really attacks basic fundamental human dignity and that's really the radical part of what his film has done is to tease out the lived experience of folks have been talking this goes back to the early to the founding of this country. can you see the f.b.i. who they will have to take why they went into this particular community and they will say this is why we didn't i'm going to play a little comment from them in just a moment but from your perspective what do you saying is the reason why the f.b.i.

would go into a community that has no history of terrorism and then start to look for it. well i think you know the reason why i'm nodding is because the government always needs a convenient villain and in order to sustain some narratives about communities of color about american muslims they need to sort of manufacture reasons why this is something that will protect national security and because so many americans cling to this myth of meritocracy of the partiality it sort of lends itself to this notion that while of course of the government is looking into a certain community it must have its reasons and i think sometimes even as the community that's being targeted we also begin to believe that like well if we haven't done anything wrong right then we have nothing to hide and that the american government has our best interests at heart and so i you know i kind of chuckle to myself because you know as a muslim as a descendant of enslaved africans i feel like this intersection of identities

really kind of limbs itself to. always sort of keeping a skeptical eye on the government and sort of always questioning the narrative the public narrative that's being disseminated because we often find that it's false so what is that about because we got this tweet from someone who watches the stream very often so it's really about the topics that we cover and issues that many communities face but they wrote this this is anthony who says i'm going to go out on a crazy limb here and say the f.b.i. had good reasons to put resources into the surveillance and race didn't come into the equation at all. i mean everyone's laughing their ass it looks like you want to take this on 1st go ahead for it i mean. i'll jump in and just like picking up back off what dr rashad was saying this idea that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about is a claim that we came across a lot even in our own community in bridge view people really felt that if you have

nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about and the entire premise of this statement if aleph because it is based on this idea that innocence matters and it doesn't based on your you know racial profile be thrown your last name be from your religion even if you have nothing to hide you have a hell of a lot to worry about so. yeah how do we know that like. if i can i there's another problem with that which is that even if you have nothing to hide the cost of of being targeted by the surveillance state is immense itself so the center for constitutional rights represented the muslim community in new jersey following the n.y.p.d. is blanket surveillance program after $911.00 and not a single lead was produced despite thousands of man hours and immense resources put behind that program but the experience of our clients is is really of being utterly demeaned having their every aspect of their life no matter how quotidian no matter

how normal subject to scrutiny one of our clients operated a school for muslim girls out of the basement of her home the n.y.p.d. was there writing down the the students who went in their ethnic makeup and to suggest that that doesn't impose tremendous costs on individuals trying to live their lives is. it i mean this is really i think the beauty of the film it forces the confront what it means to to have the state turn its power on you in this way let's have a look a little clip from the film because i know you have all watched if i want to solve this with someone i wouldn't still haven't watched it watch the full a u.s. attorney. to sit down and to talk. about why operation. the operation they thought the trial why it was even why even existed and this is what he told asio have a look. do you think that this long investigation was justified.

if there are had been crimes uncovered ah or crimes prosecuted that would have been justified here are you trying to say you think the investigation you know was as a result of. islamic phobia were prejudice. scuse me i do not think that certainly was not my world view certainly certainly is not. and had i ever thought that that was what was happening i would have not been part of it because that is not obviously who i am maybe not so obvious but it is annoying. i mean it if it's a bigger question which it is or is are islamic phobia in this country of course there is more the years are it's really f.b.i.

well i think it's. well he did say he just didn't say. any more uncomfortable ass yeah yeah i mean it's so interesting on camera that he's really having a somatic response yet in this moment to the discomfort of knowing something and hiding it and also yeah not being forthright about something so much we saw it was you know like things are kind of coming out of it yes yes really coming out of us chances pretty incredible thing to capture on camera actually when you know someone's not telling the truth in their words but another truth is coming out in their body and there's so much. i think the other the other problem here is that he said if there had been crimes covered that would have been justified and the question becomes well what if your crime is your identity what if your crime is that you are now complicating this american narrative of color blindness the fairness of justice regardless of race or religion and the fact is. part of the

consequence or perhaps the goal of this type of surveillance is to continue to isolate communities and keep them outside of what is deemed american and so even if we think about well what happens to a community the psychological impact ultimately the impact becomes disconnection it becomes lack of cohesion lack of safety i mean these are fundamental human rights for safety and if you believe and there is evidence that proves you are not safe in your own home right just imagine how destabilizing and how distressing that becomes on a daily basis and you know it really begs the question what if that is the goal is to continue to keep us so destabilize that we cannot organize that we cannot really think about how to come together and address sort of the disparities and how citizenship is conceived up in this country and so i think there's something very

orwellian about you know even this idea that you know perhaps this is this is an isolated incident perhaps this is just sort of you know almost almost the canta like a conspiracy theory and it is so common if you know the history of america that i think that we need to do a better job of one speaking about the impact and the pain that it causes and the long lasting effects of this type of surveillance seaman's that is so common on our problem i want to bring the senate i'll give it to you because miller mentioned that this is so common given our history the history of this country and so it brought us to this tweet just just tweeted a couple minutes ago she writes let's remember that the f.b.i. also had surveillance on martin luther king jr it's almost like they want to say that we as people of color can't be trusted so this idea of not being trusted leads me to this tweet that i want to give you all of our precious have and says i agree with the analysis that about paranoia it's definitely cause to provoke fear and for what something that wasn't even there so this idea paranoia can you talk about what

that's like when you know it's you're not being paranoid these are things that are actually happening but the psychological impact on you in your community causes this kind of feeling. yeah i think that's where we started this discussion i think you know one of the less addressed and part of this experience that we don't reckon with is is really the kind of psychological trauma that the communities that that i represent that us here has has. painted such a beautiful picture of in her film go through so the experience for so many muslims when these kinds of programs are revealed is not it's not shock it's just the kind of validation and assurance that comes from recognizing that you're not actually crazy for seeing the things that you see and feel in the way that you feel about it but it certainly does create a level of paranoia that i think. you know people should not take take lightly if the experience for so many people of color for example muslim community members

when dealing with other members of their community is one of fear because they don't know whether or not proximity to that person brings them within the sweep of a 10. year surveillance program or because as as again as we uncover in some of our litigation law enforcement agencies are in the practice of putting individuals in mosques for the specific purpose of striking up pretextual conversations to suss out people's political opinions then you really start to tear at the fiber of what holds a community together away from and i'd like to help you what kind of a brief explain to people what we're doing in terms of litigation because you don't have to like ask you don't have to just take the surveillance that always to actually push back with something that is the freedom of information at you while using one order to push back against some of the surveillance of the law for has been doing can you explain this frankly from so we understand your bigger context sure you know i think some point to recognize that there are legal tools out there

in. sort of impose to turn the gaze back on the government and force them to reveal some of the things that they're doing but the purpose of that let's be really clear the purpose of that is the arm activists and organize. there is and people who are trying to build power in communities to resist the law is not the answer to these things right so one of these that comes out of the freedom of information act process and the center for constitutional rights has an open records project that does this is to help people understand that here's the way the government actually is is operating in your communities and you need to know that so that you can ask the right questions protect activists that are are out there taking on immense risk to to raise an indispensable voice in support of justice and and dignity so there are some legal tools but but really it's the work of the organizers and activists and then the cultural workers like like us in this instance that moments in the film the truly scary you take us for what it's like to be in your community and

just having conversations and your mom was talking about is there a bug underneath the table in the end that could be a speed bump that was just put outside if you have to watch outside of the house and you think i know they put that there for a reason at sometimes we don't know as of us whether you have power in order whether there was something absolutely happening but that all times when we know for certain that people are trying to scare people pain the f.b.i. have a look at this everybody. someone must. go i did not go out in the bucket in this. get into a game to come and share the good stuff i have that i'm getting between me. and i am. i want what happened. to you know what happened on my gun. and minimisation to mean you don't ask him who are you. want.

i'm on. ok i just took a picture i'm sending it to your whatsapp look at it look at it and tell me if that's him i mean this picture is about maybe for 12 years old. oh my god you're gonna say he did. a little glimpse of what it is like to live in the boy's faith community and that isn't dating back to the ninety's that was just recently making. it clips like that makes you understand why there is suspicion and mistrust and that is what's represented in the video comment we got from hamas on a man who talks about a problem when it comes to authorities and muslim american communities have a listen i think one of the main reasons that the muslim community has such suspicion when dealing with government agencies is because since 911 while the government has systematically cracked down on our civil liberties and civil rights

it has used suppose that partners and representatives and leaders from the community against the community and in the process circumvented the actual chosen leadership of the community that voice our authentic concerns and so if the government wants to have an authentic relationship with the community it needs to deal with our chosen leaders and respond to our actual local concerns. so i see when it comes to having that authentic relationship i'll bring up the term that i brought up at the beginning of the show no child for f.b.i. how do you go about having that authentic relationship and explain what that handle means yeah i think so no child for f.b.i. . it's actually a line from the film one of the amazing young people in our community came to one of our town halls and said it and she stood up in a town hall and said this and she meant when the f.b.i. come to your door you don't have to open the door and let them in and serve them tea and prove to them that you're a good american citizen and look i've got nothing to hide that this i'm you know

respectability politics this idea of presenting ourselves as good american citizens and that is what will keep us safe from these types of profiling and investigations is actually a fallacy and that's what that notion i for of the i stands for and you know it's also this idea you know there's a lot of pushback in our community also that like we can't be letting the f.b.i. in through the front door of the mosque while they're still sneaking in through the backdoor that you know our engagement with law enforcement as a muslim community cannot be won rooted in this idea of respect to realty politics which so that you know as long as you have a seat at the table that's all right let me show you audience some of the community i'll come right to really want to you will i do about healing but i want to show our audience something 1st of all these are the kind of groups that have been surveilled by the f.b.i. since 2010 many more than this but let me show you here black activists muslim

americans palestinian sympathises a polish ice protest as occupy wall street protest this and simonton is republican national convention protest this all coming under the watchful eye of the f.b.i. when you watch this intently and intensely how do you manage one of the coping strategies how do you heal as a community or as a group. well one thing that i really am hoping that we can time to do together as a community is come up with a better term than paranoia and you know i've been thinking about this idea of almost like a justified resilient almost clairvoyant knowing and so it's that intuition that has contributed to our ability to survive and to thrive even in the midst of heavy surveillance and monitor to for decades and so i think there's so much stigma attached to the word paranoia or even suspicion when so many of the activities that we are experiencing are invisible to those who may not have this kind of awareness

or history and so i think you know to talk about what is our justified knowing right how are we able to assess our environment and really able to determine what is going to be harmful for us and part of the healing process is this acknowledgment and this affirmation that what we have experienced over the decades one is painful it's hurtful it is in and of itself a betrayal of what it means to be an american citizen or to be a human being citizenship aside and so when you are constantly as a community under this kind of monitoring and suspicion and targeting and marginalization it's very overtly and implicitly shifts the way you interact with the world and with each other and if our strengths are greatest strength is our community bonds this surveillance really serves to disrupt and to fray and to have those bonds disintegrate to the point where we're immobilized and so the healing

process you know in my view is to come together and you know what would it what would it mean for communities of american muslims and for those who are sympathetic to the palestinian cause and environmental activist to comp the other in one room and to say how i'm feeling about this well you know all of the legal absolutely new . that you might get to push act but work hard. for us to be able to address the underlying economy in a milieu your connection is breaking up a little bit there but i think you're pertinent point came across in the idea of healing and what to do to go about that i want to end our conversation with this comment from a former f.b.i. agent who reached out to the stream this is my german who says too often in our history the government has used the interest of national security to justify undermining security the truth is that one community has rights are violated not of our rights are secure blankets or have i guess the camera laptop you can see the

feeling of being watched on p.b.s. if you're in the united states i don't witness on al-jazeera like small one so watching everybody. we have a news gathering team here that is 2nd time around they're all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all of once you've got

to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to them. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand and make sense of it. talk to notice there are. they don't believe in the 2 state solution do you still believe in the 2 state solution we listen what i said was that pakistan would never start a war i'm anti war we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter although it is their own.

critics abroad pushing them to pick up where america has left off he wants washington's allies to help detain eisel fighters and repatriate them to their home countries. but trump syria policy faces domestic criticism in the u.s. congress even from within his own republican party senator mitch mcconnell is promising bipartisan legislation to push trump to celts alair to one's white house visit and halt the u.s. troop drawdown. we shouldn't need to speak up we cannot effectively support our partners on the ground without a military presence the democratic senate leader fears u.s. actions will have grave consequences for kurdish fighters fought alongside u.s. forces to defeat eisel he's particularly concerned with reports the united states withdrawal has now allowed some myself fighters to escape the president's incompetence with 3rd one in syria has handed isis

a get out of jail free card and put simply put american lives in danger well it was about foreign policy president trump white house address was geared to a domestic audience already campaigning for reelection president trump is keen to show he's keeping a campaign promise withdrawing u.s. soldiers from a generation of war kimberly help at al-jazeera the white house while the chief of the kurdish that syrian democratic forces has thanked moscow it's work to end hostilities in northern syria and a video conference with russia's defense minister says the leaders discussed the progress of the deal announced by russia and turkey on tuesday russian officials also told the chief that they will increase the number of military police near the syrian turkish border and our correspondent some advantage of aid has more now from . this area that president calls long blood stained sun is about the 800 kilometer

long border between syria and turkey more than half a 1000000 people have been killed in the last 8 years and the situation on the ground remains precarious on we've been hearing about 2 incidents which involved bombings and explosions in the kurdish held parts and the russians of warns that warned the kurds to make use of these $150.00 i will do vacate these areas 30 kilometers deep inside syrian territory or face the turkish advance as the turks have agreed with the russians that they are becoming and 10 kilometers deep into syrian territory all this is happening while the syrian government is also taking an active role for the 1st time in 8 years along this border area syrian government with the russians is going to be moving in to try and vacate areas from beach to commission the and make sure that these areas according to its agreement with the turks are clear off kurdish fighters it is interesting to see the syrian democratic forces coming out for the 1st response after this deal gentleman has spoken to the

u.s. president on trumbo and he said that trump has assured him that their partnership in syria is not completely over their continued to work together although the previous t.v. you've seen from the syrian democratic forces statements after statements where they feel betrayed by the united states this alludes to the areas in near the iraqi border in daters or province where oil facilities are located and the u.s. forces according to the u.s. president are going to be there working with local partners to make sure that those oil facilities don't fall in the hands of others so it is a situation the worst monitoring what at least for the next 60 days that's an 150 hours is agreed by the russians and the turks the guns will be falling silent. now the south korean prime minister and his japanese counterpart have met and took care at a time of heightened tension not yon and they have agreed that strained relations need to be mended it's the highest level meeting since tokyo introduced export controls

on materials that are crucial to the south korean tech industry that was in response to seoul's demands for compensation from japan for wartime forced labor well for more on this let's speak to rob mcbride he's live for us in seoul rob talk us through how this visit is being seen over there and i see they sent prime minister leader rather than president moon is that significant i believe the prime minister is a fluent japanese speaker. that's right the stars here they have made opportunity of 'd leeds presence there he was attending the throne mint of japan's new emperor to hold this very important meeting with his opposite number he is as you mentioned there a fluent japanese speaker is in fact a former newspaper journalist who is based in tokyo he has very good japanese political connections and indeed knows shinzo rb personally so they're very much building on that relationship this is a 2 prime ministers agreeing that the frayed relation should be repaired between

south korea and japan this is a very good overtures it seems but the big question is what happens now at the prime minister lee has handed a personal letter from president moon jay and of south korea to shinzo. which moon says that despite their differences japan remains a very important partner to maintain regional peace so it has raised all sorts of speculation that we could be seeing possibly a summit meeting between these 2 leaders with possibly middle of next month being mentioned as the data when the leaders of asia pacific will be meeting at a gathering of apac as it is known in chile that is possibly when. they might meet at the sidelines that this does it and talk us through the timing of this meeting so right now both countries' economies are struggling is that why we've seen this meeting now. so i mean they say that no country

ever wins in a trade war and certainly both sides have been suffering as a result of this this is been building as you mentioned over a number of months but it has raked up animosities that go back decades in fact all the way to the 2nd world war it all began with a legal ruling against japanese companies for 'd using south korean force labor during world war 2 but quickly escalated out of control to be a diplomatic spat and then we had these trade embargoes and actions being taken on both sides which have very much hurt companies in japan that there have been in bargo on visits and people doing business in japan and also there's been embargoes and some restrictions on high tech components that are needed by south korea's high tech manufacturing so an awful lot of people in the business sector but also in the diplomatic circles here in seoul and also in japan wanting to see this eventually result in a stir fry there our correspondent in fell thank you rob. but livia's opposition
