dispossessed of their way of life. in july 2009 protests broke out oh nearly 200 people were killed with reports that over a 1000 we were arrested. in response the beijing government launched what it called a strike hard campaign and we got areas to suppress dissent. would it began to do is really systematically step up its police presence as well it's party infrastructure. to begin to surveil the weaker population. and so some of them struck back in really horrific ways. there was a suicide car bombing in tiananmen in beijing. there was this attack on

a train station and that left you know over 20 innocent train travelers massacres quite brutally. that's really when the rhetoric of terrorism really took off as something you could use a label we girls as a group that there are potentially terrorists and so you know using any means necessary is justified. in 2016 saddam. went back to singeing to marry his girlfriend not deal.

after their honeymoon in the united states and turkey no deal fell pregnant. positive tests in his she's pregnant and that and the best have been his moment of me he liked. and there was actually like i'm going to be to have i'm going to have like i'm going to have baby like as lois and i have. saddam returned to australia in early 2017 for work while nat villa waited in singeing for her spouse visa to be approved. but then beijing suddenly launched its mass re-education campaign and xinjiang. certainly should call me our government start taking people's passport. the. singeing effectively became a large open air prison with severe limitations on freedom of movement on weekends

and other minorities as well as invasive surveillance of almost every aspect of their daily lives. the 1st reports began to emerge of weak years being rounded up and detained in camps. in the community we heard stories of people's direct messages of their family members were taken there one was panicking there one was 20 find out whether they family members was safe or not. we start to hear everyone's family being detained like ordinary people average people have family members being detained and then i realized something is going on. we get is who visited muslim countries or had lived overseas seem to be among the 1st to suffer who are going to the turkey's old arabia or any muslim country they putting in the people to the

general or concentration camp. people started to leave disappearing and communities were being emptied of adult men and women. saddam wasn't able to go to singeing to be within the dealer for the birth of their son. the chinese consulate in sydney refused him a visa i wasn't there when he was. born. you magine the whole hard for. having a baby by herself i wasn't there next to her. so it was. soon after law to be was born saddam received shocking news. security forces had arrived at the deal as family home. other than the train to the work

and then i got a message from my wife's friend saying oh your wife been taking i just. crying in the train you know like even the people in trying to ask me what's happening what's happening and i can tell them that the chinese government took her and i don't know where. that that they did. their. 2 weeks past but then saddam heard that no deal had been released but she remains trapped in synching with looked to be prevented from traveling and in constant fear of rearrest. to scared she's always harping please let me out from here. he's getting all the old like every day person doesn't know he's there.

in adelaide saddam's friend almas also received frightening news from singeing his wife zainab had been picked up by the police. have been arrested by. chinese police they dressing undercover i think there's more than i don't mind police officers. zainab family watched police put a black hood over her head and put her into a van she was 7 weeks pregnant. i can't leave her like that put a flight ticket very next there left are empty. so i spent 3 months time in or into and then i only can get the information she has been arrested because of the reason she did study in egypt. is

a medina spent several weeks in the capital of singeing a room she looking for his wife before being contacted by the police they asked me to come to. police station to talk to me face to face and i when i went to they gave me the piece of paper say i need to get out of the country in 24 hours. after al mass flew back to australia the chinese authorities arrested his 50 year old mother. she's a high school mass teacher she's been working for chinese government for 30 years with. tech of from the house fave police officer come to the house and unlock the door and then arrest her. in april 2019 received an e-mail from an official at the australian department of

foreign affairs in canberra. she told him that the chinese government had sentenced his wife to 7 years in jail for quote assembling a crowd to disturb social order and then they said that my wife feels assembly. she can't even go shopping by herself but she is very scared. they arrest her like she did assembling a craft to disturb social order that's impossible. kill my heart. they're like so important for me it's my responsibility to protect them. protect. her. these a satellite images of suspected camps where we get so detained china initially

denied these camps existed but researches and academics around the world have identified them using internet map technology essentially looking for a large highly securitized facility where almost every aspect of the movement inside these areas is completely restrained looking for wall surrounding the whole facility with watch towers on the edges of it and specifically you're looking for internal fencing barbed wire 3 major high fencing. the scale of this mass internment program is enormous the chinese government refers to the camps as re-education centers and researches have now identified nearly $100.00 suspected facilities like these across in genk it's basically clear that a huge percentage of the middle age range especially who goes aged between 18 and 45 years a very large percentage of them are in some form of internment or prison. researches

like adrian zen's have also accessed chinese government documents online to identify the full scale of what the country is doing to its muslim ethnic minorities. for example budget reports. government reports work reports and also procurement bits construction bits that were also very detailed that said we need to reeducation camp built in this area and it needs to be this big and needs to have surrounding walls barbed wire towers surveillance equipment cameras and so on and so forth they were buying you know police batons tasers. you know different instruments that could be used in torture like cattle prods. stun guns pepper spray all these sort of things that you would find in a prison setting. this video was filmed by human rights

activists and shows the inside of one of the camp's cells fitted with double line doors. keypad locks and cameras. slogans on the wall praising chinese president xi jinping and in the so called classrooms railings and why are separating the teaches from the students. the government's glossy videos claim that the week is a happy with this so-called education. course you. want to see. the chinese

government has reportedly described its new campaign as quote breaking the roots of extremists and so what they're doing when they say they want to break the roots break the lineage is they want to eliminate the basic institutions the basic elements of weaker culture we are society. they're trying to transform the entire society. 37 year old melbourne plaster a high ruler my is one of 3 astray in citizens who've been jailed in singeing here he speaks out for the 1st time. it's been a bit hard to explain at that in my feeling at that time yeah never been happy like that before in my life. in august 2017 while travelling on his astray in passport high ruler was questioned and then detained at ching do airport

in sichuan province. when i go to the detention center. they put. chain ogham are my ankle. has got on my head so just a short because i don't know what's the reason why i should to this what does this tell me. hi rula wasn't allowed to call the astray an embassy or his family. security forces put him onto a plane and flew him to singeing. he says he was brought here. to this detention center near a room cheap and put in a cell with around 40 other men it. there is no in law space to you just in the lie down probably and then turn around or something like that you can't do

that if you just sleep in 2 hours after 2 hours we wake up and then just any interest in this day of a car going to sleep something. classified as a so-called potential terrorist high rule in my industry in citizen was forced to undergo 6 hours of indoctrination every day praising the chinese communist party and president xi jinping. you have the war brainwashing program t.v. there is t.v. in the detention center in there in that room did that t.v. that people is talking about. the combat communist party's rules and. is good something like that. 2 weeks into his detention high roula says he received a visit from an australian official who introduced himself as mock from the embassy

in beijing tried to ask the officials chinese officials this guy asked me. why you guys put this put him to the detention center and lo him up about 2 weeks more than 2 leaks what's the reason and then the chinese official says. still. to this question. a week later hi rula was released to be with his wife and stepson. but the or thorough ordered him to leave singeing and banned him from visiting for 5 years. high rulers wife was stopped from leaving with him. she just kept saying. don't blame me alone blame me alone take me it is you. i can't i can't live. that feeling as you know breaking

a higher. i just left. you and i can't turn around and see him see her again. because. i from the far away near the gate i can see. just a crying crying. strangers from across new york with a claim in common abuse at the hands of a prominent priest and all shot of rows back and then to grab all 3 handles the to stop and just sort of then it's faultlines gains exclusive access to the accusers and questions the accused how long do you think the cardinal dolan will continue to

protect you as more men come out in the latest chapter in a scandal that shaken the catholic church to its foundations in bad faith on a jersey into. a story 1400 years in the making. a story of succession and leadership. i'll just tells the story the foundation and the emergence of an empire. the caliph episode one on a jazz either. the 1st.

to. hello i'm maryanne demasi in london with a quick look at headlines now at least 30 people have been killed in cities across iraq in another day of violent antigovernment protests prime minister idle abdul mahdi has promised to introduce sweeping economic reforms and a broad cabinet reshuffle in a bid to quell the demonstrations but protesters say they're fed up with empty promises and want anti-government gone the u.n. secretary general is saying there's clear evidence of human rights abuses since the

protests began at the start of the month we have issued that report just city days ago would submit only findings. we deeply regret the number of. large number of people that have been killed in these circumstances and the cording to operability findings there were indeed. substantial violations of human rights that took place and need to be clearly denounced and condemned the protests taking place in lebanon as well anti-government demonstrators there in the capital beirut have been clashing with supporters of hezbollah riot police who are brought in to try to defuse the situation the political armed movement is part of prime minister saad hariri his coalition government as well a leader hassan nasrallah says the fall of the government could lead to civil war hundreds of thousands of people across the country have been rallying against the government for the past 9 days. well truck drivers in china have become the latest group there to join mass protests over economic conditions that have entered

a 2nd week hundreds of trucks caused gridlock on a main highway in the capital santiago demanding an end to road tolls protests began last week over a hike in metro fares but of evolved into why do frustrated over income inequality the un is sending a team to chile to investigate allegations of excessive police force by police after 19 people were killed and indonesian investigators have found a series of faults by boeing lion air and the pilots led to last year's plane crash which killed all a 189 people on board boeing 737 max plunged into the sea soon after takeoff from jakarta report pinpoints multiple flaws in the design and approval of the plane software it also noted the captain was sick and the copilot unfamiliar with emergency cockpit procedure is more on that in the news hour 202100 g.m.t. join me then bye for now.

the chinese government has set up internment camps in the north western region of sudan jang it calls them reeducation centers and it's using them to detain thousands of the week ethnic group without charge the we does a mainly muslims and speak a turkic language. it has also encouraged large numbers of han chinese to move to the region to shift the ethnic balance. the police routinely arrest men and women young and and put them in the camps where they are indoctrinated for hours at a time with government propaganda. these include week as who've left china and obtained a stray and citizenship but have been arrested while simply visiting singeing.

nearly every astray and we get family has a relative in one of the camps. we are going survivor's guilt here and because we live in a free country and safe and sound yet we're living this emotional prison. we are walking about walking date almost that that's how i can describe our communities experiences and we feel shame we feel guilt and because we can't do anything about help and are we doing what we can but this is not good enough help to help. them terrans 80 year old father was among those arrested and put in a camp. he's been loyal to the chinese government all his.

just average to what mary took speaking with us he never done anything against the government. adam's father was detained for almost a year he was finally released in august 28th scene but died only a few weeks later. i couldn't call my mom. or any of my family members and i don't even know if my dad had the funeral of the us. the last time adam's mother answered the phone she was at a police station having been arrested for receiving calls from abroad. i used to call my mom like 3 days every week she said um. don't call me again. because i can't pick up before in any way so

that was my last talk with my mom. and. i missed that every week. i try not to talk about it that time but in breakfast table my kids ask something like do you have parents. it's hard to explain them what's going on.

even those weak is not detained in camps a subject to systematic intrusion and surveillance. the singeing region is now widely equipped with the latest surveillance technology appearing to use artificial intelligence. every 200 it just is checkpoints that check your i.d.'s check your smartphone. there's just put deal fine and then this scan everything if there is a like watson facebook twitter anything like religious scholar like speech like praying. that kind of abyssinia funny or in trouble. every week over the age of 12 is forced to have the biometric data captured including voice

blood d.n.a. samples and eye scans. they had to speak into a device in order to get a new unique voice signature for each person and then they did a 3 d. faced scan which meant that they had you had to have your face scan from all directions making different expressions on your face so that they would get a clear reading of all of your emotions. this corporate video shows the latest facial recognition technology being used in chinese cities the government is now using it to track members of the weak a community not just in sindh jang but across china. that's something that they're quite proud of that they can detect racial difference or ethnic difference simply you know based on that appearance. a researcher at an astray university has been in. developing methods better to identify ethnic minorities in china using

artificial intelligence i. leave you one kwan at curtin university has been working on the chinese government funded research that examines the faces of weakness and how their features could be better detected in facial scanning. is racial profiling that's essentially what this technology is being used for to distinguish we're from harm and the university has said that lee you one kuan was solely focused on the provision of quote technical advice to the chinese research team and that curtain unequivocally condemns the use of ai for any form of ethnic profiling that would quote negatively impact and or persecuting any person or group. following the revelations in this film however curtain investigated its research approval procedures but has yet to report on its findings

they all say well this is my area of expertise wow i can use this stuff to identify a weaker as opposed to a harm you know with party state does about it's not my responsibility i think that shameful and shocking i don't think straight researchers should be involved in that and it violates human ethics without a doubt. chinese police also use an app to track the purchases phone data and travel routines of weakness. human rights watch says that the app was developed by c. e.t.c a chinese government owned military tech company. in 2017 the university of technology in sydney u.t.s. signed a $6700000.00 u.s. dollars deal with c t c to establish a research center that included ai and surveillance projects. but following the revelations about c t c s role in sin jack u.t.s.

has reviewed this relationship and ended its video surveillance project with the company i think the u.t.s. and other universities here astray they have connections with any. party state company particularly in the military security sector needs to end those contracts and to pull out of those collaborative arrangements i mean essentially by doing that we were being complicit in the human rights abuses that are occurring in shin jiang and in china more widely. the chinese government plan seems to be systematically to eliminate the pillars of we get culture like religion and language. using online satellite maps it's possible to track the destruction of mosques in. this

large mosque and who tongue was demolished in 2019. large areas of the stablished we get housing have also been pulled down. you're saying that being systematically demolished and in its place is becoming high rise apartment buildings which are a lot easier to control. there's also serious concern for the children of the 1000000 week is believed to be held in camps. those d.v.d.'s that leaked out and we start seeing the old footage and a peep. even i did find some nieces nephews actually inside of that often each.

chinese government documents show a large increase in the building and upgrading of children's nurseries and boarding schools in singeing. it seems as though children are being deliberately separated from their families. what's happening to the children is that. if both parents are taken to the camps after the children are removed from the community they are a part of and they're placed in boarding schools or orphanages there's certainly been a massive increase in the building of nurseries and other education facilities for children. children are now in a process of reeducation or you know chinese assimilation. that's also how you inhibit what's called intergenerational transmission of culture

and religion meaning their parents' ability to pass on the cultural and spiritual heritage to the next generation if you can control that then you basically have control over the entire next generation of these ethnic groups well you doing this to the babies that gives me all the time what's going to happen if i can see myself again. and that's my wife as well. meanwhile inside the camps their parents are being put to work mounting evidence points to a system of forced labor emerging in singeing in october 28th seen chinese state television showed these detainees working at sewing machines in a camp in photon. i'm quite used to uncovering dirty secrets of the chinese

government but when i realized the magnitude and the impact the implications of what i found it was it was really something else. adrian zen's has been going through chinese government documents and media reports online and found striking evidence of what seems to be happening behind the camp walls. basically there's a huge scheme going on a huge plan and shinji to put all kinds of people into different forms of involuntary labor being moved around a bit like figures on the chessboard you know they're put into places where the government can control them this kind of corporation is not voluntary it's being enforced. government videos promote the new scheme and this young we go woman talks up the positive aspects of her new job

. and. there's evidence that detainee labor is being used to attract businesses to singeing offering $700.00 u.s. dollars per employee for example if a factory trains and then employs a camp detainee they get $5000.00 room and be per worker over the course of 3 years. they also get intensive subsidies for example or they can use a factory building for free for the 1st 2 years the most sort of shocking or problematic aspect of this whole scheme young is that it's planned and such detail and enforced with such urgency. that people know that more so that you can fish curing. you hold your breath so all. those who

are in the camps are supposed to get jobs permanent factory jobs the reason is that in these jobs the government can control them they can just take off their altogether it's very easy to control people in these environments they also can't take off on friday to go to the mosque they also can't fast they cannot do basic religious practice. nor it drinks lives in melbourne persisted dill nor is forced to work in one of these factories. deal nor is a qualified nurse and has 2 children. in 2017 she and her husband were both arrested and sent to the camps. my sister is in the us she didn't know how to is a mega cost. in may 2019 deal nor was

transferred from the camp to work for a textile manufacturer. using her employee id card it was possible to trace her company to this technology park 30 kilometers north of the capital a room. deal nor told her sister that she's only allowed home to see her children and parents once a week her husband was still missing. it's a husband's too late or die we don't know what happened is a bad thing happened i don't know anything. in june 29th seen having heard nothing for several months gul nor received a disturbing video call. it was deal nor scared of the audio being monitored she hand wrote notes asking her sister in melbourne to speak out about her plight despite the risks. some.

autumn and. how did this push up the money and had. is he is again the good bet initially couldn't. deal north node spelled out what she wanted go nor to tell the world. she said so. 660 people are brought in shackled and handcuffed and it's big they have no choice if they say something they will end up in jail you could be sure they could. pull them a little bit come on we are. going to court the. gulnaz suggested that her sister hinted at wanting to end her own life.

should killick. be certain to look into it but hope change like but i. mean i'm thinking. that. these brands sold in a straight have all reportedly used cotton from syngenta. cotton on and target a straight began investigations into their relationships with suppliers and factories their. cotton on even visited the region in september 28th ina and met a supplier whose factory is only 6 kilometers from a large internment camp. as a result of their reviews cotton on and target a stray no longer source cotton from syngenta. ikea also conducted an order to of their yarn supplier in subject and say they found there was no forced labor taking place western companies stand in increasing risk of

having products made by forced or at least highly involuntary labor somewhere in the supply chains it's going to become inevitable as to schemas unfolding and getting bigger and bigger. saddam hussein has not seen his wife in a dealer for over 2 years. looked feet turn 2 in aug 29th teen and saddam was desperate to spend with him in australia i'm totally broke actually elect financially mentally physically i used to be a strong big guy but this thing to totally ruin my life. you know that. sick kid. he looks like both of you know.

like me. yeah it does after 8 months of trying to secure a story in citizenship for his baby saddam and his lawyer finally picked up look fees passport finally his stallion citizen. passport he's got a. big stick. saddam hopes that he'll be able to use it soon and that the dealer can come with him. so. it's not dog. owner. it's you doing everything again to get to that but. the chinese ambassador to australia was invited to be interviewed for this program but he declined however in june $2900.00 he appeared at an australia china business council event in canberra

for many reasons but underlined china's magnificent achievement. the most fundamental one is that i'm swerving but here it is to the leadership of the chinese communist party. a.b.c. reporter sophie mcneill asked the ambassador about china's treatment of the week why is the communist party doing this now it's a training. and education center to help people who have affected by radical idea ideology to that interview is myself i am. what's wrong with them why do they need maintain gratian why this is to happen to find the jobs when you have to make a better living they have jobs or is it just because they're muslim no no no. after the a.b.c. in australia 1st showed this program the chinese embassy in canberra posted this statement on its website heavily criticizing it and calling it biased it made its

own justification for adopting what it called a series of counter-terrorism and d. radicalization measures and referred users to 3 of its own more positive reports about xinjiang. the end game in my opinion is very clearly the long term survival and rule of the communist party. this is being achieved by achieving complete ideological control over every part of china. beijing has declared the ultimate war on their religion and culture of these toxic minorities. and it's not going to rest until there will be lasting glue change forever. i think that's what they're doing. to systematically assimilate us into chinese society. i think they want us to walk like chinese or live like.

people look at the legal definition of genocide has to be systematic it has to be intentional. this is an act of cultural genocide i'm one of the worse human rights abuses of our time so i'm asking government to help me to ask the chinese government to release my mom my wife and brained and to me. every day every single of us i can't even fully on the 9th time. that's my life now there's not any happiness. can enjoy from any thinks. maybe they're going to take her again just because of i'm speaking out i've got no

other option left undone everything i speak with the home affairs i speak with a free and minister a speakers are trying to talk with the chinese authorities bribe them but still there has seen nothing happening in the past 2 years. so now i had to speak out and australians i think all those from the need to know the story. in a world of alternative facts and truths unfiltered social media spreads misinformation unfavorable reports become fake rooms fake phoning the enemy of the people and press freedom is under attack. in a brand new documentary series we explore the media landscape rather held views of how our journalists the world over are coming to terms with this new reality and finding ways to challenge mainstream misconceptions whose truth is it anyway coming soon on al-jazeera.

a few more. to the southeast of australia nothing particularly heavy but plenty of cloud has been streaming in over the last few hours in the rain to come with us as we go through the weekend so 17 in melbourne 16 at home but with their shadows even a few showers likely in adelaide with a high of 19 very warm though in sydney. that hate that's been in place across the southeast as the squeeze for the east was now look at this because 29 in perth on saturday but by sunday that is up to 35 celsius the winds coming from the halls and a dry interior under those very clear sunny skies but it does become

a little bit cooler in sydney 23 celsius is that your high temperature connoisseur but a good weekend ahead across much of new zealand the some cloud on the way the some rain on the way but it doesn't really quite make it into christchurch and such as into o'loghlin say fitting quite nicely. in christchurch and if anything a degree warmer on sunday mostly sunny skies little bit of cloud just a intermission without sunshine and then we had up towards japan now the rain will continue to work its way to the north so hokkaido are all the wet south a quite cool as well a 15 celsius at the time i think the east well out of the picture by sunday but we are left with a cloudy picture but it should be dry in tokyo at 20. all i'm counting the cost of africa opens up its borders in the hope of a relation the success of the european union nigeria shuts its borders waving smuggling of tough. savation plus airport expansion and the creation of

across the country the united nations secretary general has been speaking out and says there is clear evidence of human rights abuses since the protests initially began at the start of the month the prime minister. has promised to introduce sweeping economic reforms but demonstrators say they are fed up with empty promises and want the entire government gone it's going to reports now from the capital baghdad. the sound of stun grenades reverberated around to rear square in baghdad on friday dozens of protesters were overcome by clouds of tear gas they chanted free baghdad corrupt officials out from iraq's capital to the southern city of karbala iraqis demanded the resignation of prime minister i do not have to maddy and his government they are not men overstay that's all they can not do anything that can look minutes at the event at the school not this big country the nationwide protests were on the 1st anniversary of

maddy taking office there also a continuation of protests which began at the beginning of the month the government acknowledges the excessive force was used to somebody they call it a democracy but the hands they used to wield this democracy are dictators when they kill their people with snipers it's not democracy in addition to promising to punish those responsible for killing protesters mehdi announced that he and other government leaders will cut their salaries by half and divert the money to a fund to help the poor is also vowing to reshuffle the government next week by or ties in qualifications before party or set time and i guess in a few years we heard about reforms it's just a sleeping pill to calm the people all of us are rejecting this corrupt government protesters are primarily young men desperate for jobs they can't find in a country where the gap between rich and poor only seems to grow because i like it

it's medicaid i'm jobless i have $0.24 now i told the television station see me this is all i have. protesters say they want to live in an independent iraq not one that's a puppet of the united states and iran the office of an iranian backed armed group was torched in the southern city of summer walk the prime minister says if the government resigns now chaos will follow protesters remain unmoved they say the solution is for a new government to take over the talks are going to aim does iraq baghdad. well the situation in iraq remains volatile following years of conflict and divisive politics the iraqi economy is dominated by oil it contributes more than 90 percent of government revenue but if you benefit from this income many iraqis blame the current constitution drafted in 2005 after the u.s.

led invasion for the sectarian nature of the political system they say it failed to create a unified representative government and led to abuse of power and division between different sects and ethnicities well that's led to increasing levels of mistrust in political leaders earlier this year a national poll found more than 80 percent of iraqis are concerned about corruption at the highest level of government in iraq is also struggling to recover from the nearly 4 year war against eisel which it declared victory in 2017 more than $2000000.00 people remain internally displaced though and the unemployment rate for young people is at more than 22 percent whilst $7000000.00 iraqis that's 23 percent of the population on living in poverty. is a leading iraqi political scientists working a middle east center at the london school of economics and joins me in the studio now so some staggering figures that we know the country's facing some serious economic challenges and same time iraqis disillusioned with their political leaders

what can the government do to show that it's capable of delivering change. the problem is that the people trust in the government not because they do not want to trust it but the government has indicated that it's not trustworthy for 16 years successive governments have failed to solve any of the iraqi problems they were only concerned about corruption stealing the money and doing nothing for the iraqis and that's why then the iraqis went with this aggressive mood to the streets i guess the dilemma now is that this is the government of the system that is in place and even though they've lost trust in the government they're still asking this government it's carny in place to deliver reform well you know they want the government to go this is i mean they want the prime minister to resign that's what

they are wanted they are asking for and they want the whole. ruling parties 22222 deve 2 to pave the way for a new faces new generation to road but this is of course very very impossible to be done through the one stations but what they want now is to see the prime minister changed they want to see new elections new faces in the parliament because the most of the people in the parliament are the same old faces for 16 years and that i suppose that doesn't people are looking for some sort of change now given the levels of poverty and unemployment and the lack of basic services if there was to be this root and branch change of the political system which many say has been required in iraq for many years all of that all the reform would take even more time no i think the prime minister had he been sincere in his claim

of reforms he could have done few things to pacify the people for example. issuing orders to the corps to follow the corrupt people or minister previous ministers put in the prison some of them put on trial some of them but what they have seen that for example in 2 cases the interpol arrested to all or previous iraqi officials for corruptions and they were brought to baghdad. left again and set free again and the sailor could have done more he. couldn't have done something to prove the to the people he is serious about fighting corruption i'm just curious from what you're saying it doesn't sound as the idol of the matter will survive these protests politically and if he were to go how much of a challenge would it be then to form a new government and to find

a prime minister that would be acceptable to the sort of iran iran. on us yeah forces of any influence could influence the parliament to keep them there but that will be for vote for his demise i don't think it will interest them to do to improve his image in between the people because he failed to not even to change the corrupt ministers in his government because he was loyal to the party he was under the orders of the parties in the political process they have nominated these corrupt ministers for him and he accepted them accepted them without any any protest and this is of course his image as well so if your studio is something you should do something now seriously or if the government of the game is imposed him again or support him it will be another massacre in the streets are many massacre's

in the streets thank you appreciate it professor side jawad joining us from the l.s.e. now russia has sent hundreds of additional troops and military equipment to northern syria as part of a deal with turkey to help patrol the border region russia's defense ministry says 300 military police and 20 armored vehicles have been airlifted to help oversee the pullout of syrian cut issue fighters it comes a day after the u.s. said it was leaving some of its troops in the region to help protect oil fields from i sell. levels have been more protests in the lebanese capital we have seen demonstrate is that clashing with supporters of hezbollah riot police were brought in to try to help the situation a political group is part of promises. coalition government as bala leader hassan nasrallah says the fall of the government could lead to civil war hundreds of thousands of people across the country have been rallying against the government for the past 9 days stephanie decker brings us more now from beirut. it's the 9th

day of these protests and we've seen some trouble already at the protest areas we had a group of madness supported. mentor the square in front of me government not as we're just a couple 100 meters away from here they started throwing. sticks of the word injuries among the protesters it was very tense people were very scared the police on the ground riot police trying to separate the 2 sides with this is one of the fears that protest the matter that the political parties will start to set their back down to the streets to make trouble now has distanced themselves with these men we have heard from some of the leader of hezbollah he spoke earlier today his voice boomed out over the microphones here and everyone listened to what he had to say this is a little bit of that it's. mainly looked under the current monetary and economic situation in the fragile political climate in all of the targeting that is

happening internationally and regionally will lead to chaos or it will lead to the structural well the reaction here from the protesters not welcoming that sweet shop or to give when he said not there were far and out of that mold all speak the protesters who is behind funding cause so many people here not too happy in terms of the protesters about his message that we're not the free of all the messages of fear and it's been promoting with the good image to stay on the streets and that it . doesn't make any difference in the. streets what was interesting for the 1st time behind us i just thought it was the lebanese mob not the flag of hezbollah clearly sending a message that he has a lebanese leader i don't want all but even by salma admission. by iran these are very difficult and not protective old times and yes they are not president yes there is you forgot hope mr.
