people and managers of the parliament so it must be a government which is capable of achieving what the previous governments had failed that's why ministers should be raising their qualifications in expertise are you not political or sectarian leadership is that a very critical cross really so you do it in a diary of your moon us government. national center had on the program going to be live and riverside california wildfire season are struggling to contain fast moving wildfires and indian and minister kashmir is formally divided into 2 regions directly controlled by danny. how the weather so looking pretty miserable across the good parts of western europe with my with lots of plough piling in from the land 16 going across the british isles western parts of france and pushing into that western side of the medics for

welcome back a look at the top stories now the u.s. house of representatives has passed a vote formalizing the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump testimonies will now be open to the public instead of being held behind closed doors. iraq's president has addressed the nation in a bid to end a weeks of violent protests in the country barham saleh has promised to hold early elections and says that prime minister abdullah abdullah will resign once a replacement is a greet and lebanon's president has called for an end to the country's sectarian divide after weeks of anti-government demonstrations on folding there as well michel aoun is saying that lebanon must establish a civil state. so let's get some further analysis on these protests now with more one of their senior political analysts so what's fascinating about

lebanon and iraq is that we are seeing a grassroots movement that really crosses political sectarian and and class divide and i suppose in both cases it's not just a question of whether the government can change but whether the system will change absolutely. and the worst part of it is that everyone admits including what we heard earlier from the lebanese president and we hear that from iraqi leaders everyone admits to the corruption as if corruption is some sort of a divine intervention not something done by those very same politicians who are in charge or are presiding over the country. president own spoken since in such expensive ways about corruption about the 630 and regime in the country and why it needs to be changed and yet in both cases president own and president but. of iraq are both part of the system that needs to be changed and they are both

presiding and they are will spawn setting and godfather a system that needs to be changed everyone is saying that people are rights to go out and demonstrate against corruption against terror and violence against a sectarian system and yet everyone seems to say they are all right but we cannot change the system so we know how how does that get resolved because presumably if you were to see leaders leaving on mass and both countries that would result in a vacuum that would do nothing to address the economic grievances and challenges in both countries to do with poverty in the economy and public services absolutely so both in iraq and lebanon corruption is a is a culmination of it's a symptomatic of a system that is not working a system that's been interviewed the system. of corruption nepotism whereby the country has been treated like a party that will be divided among certain corrupt elites and that's why in both

countries some serious changes to happen unfortunately in both countries we're talking simply about a change of government coalition so in lebanon after the prime minister resign now we're talking about a certain changes within the government and iraq in the same way we're looking for another alternative prime minister so that there would be no vacuum and in both countries we're saying that the vacuum is very dangerous and we're saying changing the system is very dangerous because the conspiracies against both countries are huge the people are not buying and the people think that neither the regimes nor whoever supporting them and outside notably iran cannot have their cake and eat it too. in terms of finding those new faces i mean you have the sectarian system in both countries and then particularly in lebanon you have political leaders that have been around really for for generations and decades so given that

the the protest movements in both countries are leaderless where are these new faces supposed to emerge from because it you know it might not happen overnight it's very true and that's the big challenge and that was by the with the challenge of most of the arab spring nations as they were called in the sense that there's a popular movement for change they say they want to bring down the regime but they don't have alternative regime in mind they would don't want what the existing status quo but they don't have a vision and they don't have a program and they don't have a unified leadership. to the existing leadership so that's a problem and that's why i think transition is going to define a serious productive change in both iraq lebanon and arguably in sudan algeria and the rest of the arab world it's going to have to be transition it's going to have to have to be a reform under the pressure of the street meaning they can have to push laws in empowered to reform themselves and in perhaps split and have one section of the of

those in the in the in the in power demand reform and that inform is going to have to be communicative it has to be consistent and it has to be a long term there is no magical formula neither in iraq nor lebanon for something that is quick and that could be that could happen tomorrow it's going to have to be a long term and i think the process has indeed started in both countries so given that there is no quick solution to all of this just briefly marwan could these protests just begin to failure you know i don't think so and i even if they are already in this so-called spring. nation 2.0 we've seen that in sudan we've seen that in the jury of those who do who said that the arab spring was doing back in 2013 with us 14 were surprised by sudan algeria iraq and lebanon so i think the voice of the people is out there even if it is suppressed on the short term i think

on the long term there is no escape thank you very much more on bashar and now indian and minister kashmir special status has been officially revote by the central government any delhi a reorganization bill is now split the region into 2 federal territories nervous caused anger among many in the kashmir valley it's been living in a communication blockade since august and shelve all her reports now from china. under tight security indian administers 1st left and governor. was sworn in. as prime minister narendra modi delivered a speech about india's unity riaz a sportsman and swimming coach felt disenfranchised he says a bound to be the losers in the new system jobs nickel and didn't know we've got all the stupid jobs but now about 50 percent of those would be minorities like it's

a security lapse that these people were successful in carrying the cylinder and the coaches we don't have scanners a small station but we have scanners at all the 7 railway divisional headquarters which are great that this happened but it's been a difficult task to identify people because many bookings are made for groups nearly half of the people killed were burned beyond recognition and their bodies have been sent for d.n.a. tests 70000000 people use a real service every year in pakistan but there are no fire extinguishers in passenger compartment and safety checks are almost nonexistent this is not the 1st incident of its kind box on race history have been checkered with many such accidents before people here say that despite this being one of them with affordable mort's off transport it is a lack of investment mismanagement corruption which is plagued this department. when the prime minister and israeli minister were in opposition the call for resignations and strict action after israel accidents this is the 7th accident

european union with or without a deal deal still. france is very much seen as a friend of the u.s. president as is boris johnson as well but trump has been accused of multiple occasions of interfering a little bit too much in british politics of backing boris johnson in the leadership race earlier in the year of openly backing breaks it of over promising perhaps when it comes to offering the u.k. a trade deal as soon as the u.k. leaves the european union one person who has been very critical of is jeremy corbyn who he said in this interview would be so bad so bad was said a few times i have to add for britain if he becomes prime minister he also deflected accusations coming from jeremy corbyn on the labor party that it is the united states is goal and aim to somehow buy into britain's national health service a revered institution although it has been pointed out that the us president did say during a press conference that the foreign office here in june that everything is on the

table including the n.h.s. so clearly before the election has happened accusations of trump getting involved perhaps a little bit too much in british politics he's clearly defined who his friends are and stephanie not corbin it definitely is boris johnson and it definitely is for our issue at the moment is a bit of a politician on the sidelines but still could dent the hopes of boris johnson getting a big majority extraordinary stuff that does seem to be becoming the norm in vanished politics need. much. out there and up on. right so we just want to take you through some of the top stories this hour now the u.s. house of representatives has passed a vote formalizing the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump testimonies will now be open to the public instead of being held behind

closed doors inquiries focused on allegations trump pressured ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden trump has called it the greatest witch hunt in u.s. history i do joe castro has mall this was the 1st time that members of congress were asked to actually go on the record with a vote that in practice continues basically what's been going on this impeachment inquiry by its significance is that really it was a vote in favor or against the impeachment inquiry and as expected this fell deeply along partisan lines there were there were 2 notable defections though from the democratic side those were members of congress who are from trump friendly districts democrats who perhaps are fearful of they had voted to continue the inquiry that they would pay for it in their own reelection campaigns iraq's president has vowed to hold early elections in an attempt to quell weeks of violent demonstrations which of rock the capital and several cities in the south and

a televised address barham saleh also said prime minister abdullah abdullah he is prepared to resign after a replacement is agreed within 200 people have been killed since the unrest began at the beginning of the month meanwhile lebanon's president says the country must change from a sectarian state to a civil one this is anti-government protests continue in the capital calling for political leaders to resign ominous assad hariri quit on choose day but he's been asked by the president to stay on as caretaker until the new government is fully formed. and at least 70 people have been killed after a large fire tore through 3 carriages of a moving train in pakistan thought the blaze was caused by a gas stove on board a train was making its way from karachi to just outside of islamabad survivors say it took nearly 20 minutes for the train to stop. the headlines on

al-jazeera the stream is coming up next and then more news after that about 5 minutes time. welcome to the stream politicians around the u.k. say they are facing constant abuse both online and face to face as the atmosphere around proxy grows more toxic for me ok. as the u.k. prepares for a general election we'll look at the impact of intimidation on elected representatives and what it means for u.k. democracy join the conversation through twitter and you tube.

members of the u.k. parliament say they are subject to daily abuse threats and intimidation from opponents and even some of their constituents as people remain at odds over brock's said alice future direction of the country reports of abuse suffered by m.p.'s and other elected officials particularly women have risen dramatically since the 2016 breck's at referendum a parliamentary report says the problem is now commonplace and undermines politicians upwards to represent the people on wednesday culture secretary mickey morgan declared she will not seek reelection after suffering abuse and that her and her family a day earlier liberal democrat m.p. heidi allen announced she will stand down and she is exhausted by the personal abuse she has suffered on mine and in the street from all of this we're joined from romsey hampshire by caroline oakes she's a conservative member of parliament shows diseases

a labor party councillor for oxford city council she is also code vice chair of the fabian women's network she joins us from manchester can lead better is ambassador at the jo cox foundation an organization working with communities to build a more tolerant society she is near the town of keaton in west yorkshire hello ladies good to have you i wish it was over a better conversation that we're about to have i have to show you or they still i am sure in your various different work you have seen this jess phillips. as an m p she says here this is so chilling i'm not scared of an election i am scared i might be hurt or killed and just show you what jess describes herself as a labor m.p. for birmingham yardley and then just down here saudi unseemly and grotesque according to a little man on the internet that is alluding to some of the behavior that's happening on social around politicians came you happen to know that this isn't just online harassment for jess things that actually happened offline as well can you

tell us a little bit more what you know. yeah absolutely i mean you know to start with the only reason that i'm doing this this evening is because i know to my very day a personal cost where this level of abuse and intimidation can lead cox was the british politician who was murdered on the street in june 26th just prior to the referendum and joan was my sister and i live and i feel the pain of that day every single day of my life and that was a very brief period of time after joe was killed where people said a lot of the right things about how we have to do things differently and we should be more kinder and more compassionate in our politics and that lasted for a very short period of time within weeks of joe been killed things descended into the toxic kind of debate that we see now and it's definitely got worse in the 3 and a half years since that time so i know jess phillips i know i know lots of m.p.'s have got to know lots of m.p.'s some of who knew joe and some of whom didn't and

the level of abuse and intimidation they are facing at the moment is unprecedented and very very worrying and it's very difficult and i'm aware that it's difficult for me to be objective and i am in danger of being accused of scamming grain but for these women in particular when they're but men as well this is their reality and they are very very scared about their safety can we thank you for sharing reliving that for us on line that so many people say what it is that you're referencing you talked about a toxic debate getting worse people online say part of that is because the rise of social media and the fact that so much of that debate is happening online so i want to direct all of your attention to this article in the conversation the headline the people who abuse impedes online and one of the writers of that piece sent us a video comment in it he talks about the kind of people that take to the web take to twitter to spew this abuse this is liam mclaughlin he's a researcher at the university of south and in manchester and here's what he says.

so what do we know about people who abuse and he's online firstly we know that they don't wake up in the morning and think they're going to abuse an n.p.c. what they do is quite reactionary in nature they'll see a tweak on their feet in response to that or the see something in the news or they'll see how to constipate interest in a scene the most abuse comes in the form to reply to an m.p.'s tweet or it spikes massively whenever bret's it's being debated in the house of commons. caroline i give out went to you because you told our producers ahead of the show that you have your notifications for your social accounts turned off why is that. so that was actually a friend of mine a colleague did that for me i was the immigration minister for 18 months and the level of abuse i was getting online well so horrific and i gave my phone to a friend in the house of commons and she just filled with it for about 3 minutes

until they got notifications gone these people are not going to trouble you anymore and that is one strategy to deal with it simply turn off the notifications that look and i have some really brilliant dedicated staff who will always alert to me and more importantly the police to when there is a direct threat but i also have an amazing 21 year old daughter who sometimes she'll send me a text message in the dead of night that just says i love you mommy and in her world that is code for the for the she knows i'm taking a load of abuse online and she just wants me to know that there are good people out there to my kind that there are people who say well this is on line say what you did you tell an education you don't have to repeat but this isn't just a piece and harassment that is happening online can you give us a little glimpse of your offline life as well you know so i think that's a really important point to make it's it's easier to ignore it when it's online and i take the view it's your experts this is sad people alone in their bedrooms

late at night to send online use and they're quite easy to ignore when somebody walks up to you in the marketplace or rumsey which is the beautiful market town in hampshire and says you're a traitor who deserves to be shot that enters the real world that leaves you feeling afraid and it's great to be with kim this evening because although i didn't know joe well i knew that joe cox was a kind person a person who whenever she reached out to me in the house of commons if i'd made a speech the. she thought was ok she i can remember her due to me she reached out to touch my whole staircase and separates the church and you know that was for somebody who i really didn't know to work and sadly didn't have a chance to get over and you suddenly hear a gentleman that melted you say to you in your own constituency the town you grew up in you deserve to be shot and you think it's 3 years since a colleague of mine was shot. what sort of level of political discourse do we now

have that just because i might disagree with that man on bret's that he thinks i need to be killed late is that this this keeps occurring to me as i'm watching the sort of things that you're going for and you're experiencing what is going on in the u.k. that somebody would come up and say that in the street. i think what's going on is that i respectfully cited faces of misfortune the if be normalized be normalized by people who need ships who are all using very talk. racist language and this is the norm a lot and. i honestly was lucky enough to have the job of keeping those i want to show for 5 years and she was one of the kindest most like to sobriety and women other than at the present waterfront and you know what happened to her should have been the moment when people actually pulled back a stop to thinking and doing but i'm not. and if we just look at you know the

united states of america when you've got a man who is being the president who has the type of access to the documentary towards women and also he would u.k. you know as a principle with the woman the fact that my prime minister that amount of good luck to be the prime minister u.k. by all to me being 50 the talk of language fiji's with minority women is just not acceptable and i think if you take a cue from that but i also think the point that you make our lungs up the tree when you've got people why did god to keep old. routing hate it they just be in my people are living it may just seem like it was actually just from a fight it was against women and it builds from that and i think often we're told to shrug ships off and to kind of just get on with it well i'm sorry which is not i think a lot more not nice to be done to out people who are going out of their way to spread

hey fred edition from ations and they ought to be targeting women are specifically the targeting minority women i met didn't you know. how did i well i would also want to also i wanted i think in terms of of politicians and what politicians can do to improve things you know what shall i say and how i said. about joe is really heartwarming to hear and they're absolutely right you couldn't meet a kind of person that doesn't mean that joe was afraid of robust passionate debate and would certainly let you know what her opinions were on things but she always did it in a polite and respectful manner and i think this is where politicians have to step up and understand that they also have a very important role to play in terms of how they behave and how they speak to each other and it's fair to say in the past few weeks we've seen some pretty poor behavior from some politicians and again for me this is across the political spectrum and it's across the braggs that divide so i think it's really important to not just look at people who are who are giving a politician time he's also equally wrong but politicians have to think about their

role in this as indeed do the media and journalists and all the people in how they report things because i think the only way things will change is if we take this holistic approach and we all think about our responsibility because i understand the anger and frustration that people feel i am extremely angry about what's happened to my family but i am not giving into the anger i am channeling the anger and doing something positive to create a positive legacy for joe in terms of bringing people together we all have to change if anything will change carolyn i want to direct something at you because i'm so glad that just made the point she made because there are people in our audience making that it exact point right now so this is dave and i'd like to get your thoughts on a few people's thoughts that run along the same line dave says while it is totally unacceptable it's because the m.p.'s are ignoring people's wishes and breaking promises another person on twitter barry reed says citizens have suffered at the hands of egos of politicians for hundreds of years well paid and inept why wouldn't

the population finally be tired and angry at the status quo and one more i'll share from you tube someone watching live over there writes in to say that he believes this there's cause for this because are we not allowed to be angry with m.p.'s. it's room over on you tube what would you say to people with that perspective so i think it's perfectly legitimate to be angry i think it's perfectly ok to have we're past discussions and debates about what has gone wrong with bret's that one haven't managed to deliver it after all of these years but i think we have to make our political discourse of a much higher caliber i think we have to play the role not a man or woman and i think we have to make sure that we are careful about the language we use that's critically important and people have heard me in the house of commons calling out colleagues that have used careless language that have not thought about the impact of the words they using and what might seem ok to say

traitor in one breath to pretend that people have somehow betrayed the population actually the 650 members of parliament in the house of commons each one of whom is trying their best to do the best for their own constituents of course you don't look great you know that's the beauty of democracy they have to agree but i think it's really wrong to say that we're deliberately trying to frustrate the will of the people we're in ect actually some of the people that you will meet in the house of commons in the most brilliant intelligent caring hardworking individuals and to try and portray all of us told us all with one brush is just very wrong and i think i'm kim you mentioned the media earlier and the me a lot of these cues are being taken from the extreme language should be news but i think to lead so when you splash the word traitor across the front page of a leading newspaper well of course and have an impact of course people are going to knock that language a big opening that the book and you know that the 2 tweet that you just read out

are find it interesting that 2 men are giving those lunch or women a common thing as well but i think it's very relevant because anger is traditionally a thing of the math and in trait now mostly women are actually different very clear but i think a lot of men that i'm able to. expressed views without showing anger now it's completely legitimate to be angry it's not legitimate to be racist homophobic this origin is issued the right to tell women m.p.'s on line that you're going to go to them and that that's no i'm going that is criminal and that goes way beyond anger and i think we need to be really clear about how we talk about race issues now refrain and also just want to add one of final thing which is i go out on the doorstep i knock on doors on a regular basis i've been subject to a lot of very angry people and 9 times out of hand they are men and they say things that i think they would never say to anyone. in their own lives they've actually pulled back and it's not hard love

a conversation going from being very very unusual very language a very charged them call back and they calm down but part of the reason right is because all i am off the big arm with and i'm also willing to hold a dialogue with them and i have very uncomfortable conversations with them but it's a 2 way street because if we just shut everyone down when they're and we get to. our leaders then we give our audience some indication you are polite courteous civilized people so you're not using the language that is being used against you but his undernet sunbath and she is an m.p. she is lamenting at how many women now are standing down from their m.p.'s role and she shared a little while ago an e-mail message from one of her constituents she brought out some of the offending words all of them what is the point in having a 2nd referendum you stupid and you remain m.p.'s cannot on of the 1st one it's

good use no confidence vote women should be in politics it goes on and on and on that is just one example of the how received feedback that you are getting from your constituents if you are an m.p. let me introduce your audience to joe swinton she is the new leader of the liberal democrats and she's not saying it's the media as you are shyster she is actually saying it's m.p.'s it's politicians to blame as well let's have a listen. i fear that the public watching today will perhaps take the view that this host does not take sufficiently seriously threats of violence we have had the attorney general area today joke about wife beating and i may our guy today have reported to the police a threat against my own child that has been dismissed as somebody mr speaker this

is a disgraceful state of affairs and we must be able to find a way to conduct ourselves questioning. him the joy caucus foundation is helping people have better dialogue even if we disagree we can still talk to each other what has happened to m.p.'s where they don't seem to be out to talk to each other well i think probably like the rest of us they are frustrated and they are angry and it will spin credibly frustrating situation to be having to be so obsessed with one issue when you want to be focused on the things that the country cares about i mean what we do through through just foundation we try to bring people to together we do a national annual campaign in the u.k. called the great get together and we encourage people to come together in communities up and down the country on what would have been joe's birthday and we do that in june and it's a very important weekend and actually what it shows is that most people do want an opportunity to find some common ground and to reunite with people in their local areas but what i would say in terms of in terms of what joe spencer was saying there i mean to be fair to her she was pointing out the problem within parliament

wasn't just blaming politicians yeah and i think again until we start taking this holistic approach nothing will change so politicians need to look at the way that they're speaking to each other absolutely and but again as do the rest of us and the media again pick you know how much i said what i found in my very short period of time doing media stuff which i'm still not under present good hat or anything like that but is is they do they do want extreme opinions so often you know i try and take a view where i try and see all sides of the argument. so suddenly you end up in the sort of beige space in the middle one that's more exciting for the journalists is that they want people who are on the extreme ends of the debates so i think i would encourage the media to stop thinking about how they can take them all balanced view of things you know and getting people who might not be saying things that are going to make headlines so that's what i was saying to them in terms of the media's role i want to play video comment from someone who's also part of this conversation a different way she's part of an organization that addresses online harassment and

she sent us this comment have a listen the women of color in politics are disproportionately impacted by online abuse and harassment and a study by amnesty international and ellen a our last year found that female politicians and journalists in the study who were black were 84 percent more likely to be mentioned in abusive tweets and white women and asian women were most likely to be mentioned in tweets that contained racial ethnic or religious letters and the result of all of this is that online if you surats our democracy by silencing and censoring the most marginalized voices in society it means that women and women of color in particular are just on able to freely and equally express themselves online without fear of violence or abuse. so she's talking about when to you because as a woman of color you already mentioned islamophobia how do you think those issues affected you differently than they might other polys of yours well they affect me

deeply in personally and they affect other women of color particularly black women are very clear about that and i'm president of levels of hate we already know that when you look at the abuse that directed towards iran over the 2nd and so if this hate children line is the reflection of the hate that that's out there in real life as well so it's kind of it's a mirror you know it's like a part of what's out there in real life and i think people just become more confident that they can go online because they can be anonymous and so if europe is the full minority like me for example or a job i find that people think it's ok to watch emails to me to abuse my space i mean i could be talking about housing for example and i would be a tranche of emails and again usually find by many as they can and they'll be talking about surely a little bit about actually end if you talk about violence against women and while i've been talking about housing so that whatever i do they will go back to those

tribes about muslim women or just as jewish women i explain in the same thing as well and it's deliberately garbage dump 5 birth is done to minimize birth and not to make us actually just want to pack up and walk away and when i'm going to do that because we get on ship you and to this country while these people are busy trying to pull this country down. and you know i think that was really obvious from the tweet that antoinette was ill the evil act and that said women can't think under pressure you have and that is absolutely a tactic to try and shut women up a step and go away to women you're not clever enough to think when things were difficult and you do you really do have to stare at the sort of person that thinks that's ok to do. i hold those attitudes to a composer those attitudes publicly but i should alter the media culture and the political culture in labels those people because that's the messaging that they're getting from mainstream media and from many more mainstream publications so you

know it all even to each other is a beast that's been doing the reading it's now clear and this is why if they're dangerous but there's a lot of hope out there i just want it not very clearly and while i think women are . all the child or the network the women that are coming together you know they do behind the scenes work they're doing work on this as well and so what i'd say to any woman in particular is watching this if you love to do this go and do it don't let anyone but you. don't where do they think the last 20 minutes we've scared anybody off who wants to really involved in politics that is why all the time is that they all do it and i love it let me just move on just for a moment is something that caroline you shared on the on twitter this is from the key for the m.p. and she talks about a special bond that holds women together in politics i think we are witnessing that right now on this show is so great to share the whole bunch of women who is in this picture excuse me who are just show you or caroline's backache as she's talking to

you somebody is in here lots of women using this is all the diety holding together even though women are saying i am stepping down this is too much for me powerline what would be your advice how do you keep politicians safe in this very toxic atmosphere what's the way forward from your perspective so i just want to say one thing about that photo that was taken last night yeah there were a bunch of tory women some of whom were study down some of whom were saying on there were a lot of tears last night because we we feel very strongly that they're all good and lovely people even call it far too soon some who were elected in 2015 people seem a kennedy people that meant davis. it is heartbreaking nicky morgan who came in at the same time as me. saying that they've had enough i don't want to be more so i think to leave we have to change the tone of our politics we aren't going to achieve that unless we get well women into politics and audio arrived in parliament

in 2010 and i had never experienced such me in my life i was the youngest daughter to a man who only had daughters i had had a charmed life and i saw the thought of lived in a all yes prep school how he in right left in the middle to 30 who got less than me it's got your closing thought for us with the water. and today with some of the artistic together i had some fantastic support for women and peace across the house and i think that's really crucial to see that we do have to stand up for each other to stand up for each other thank you so much how do i know it's so east who is a neighbor part of town but that led better excuse me from the job cuts foundation ladies thank you for being with us on the stream today final word goes to minicon the community i'll give it to susan on twitter he said surely the only thing that can be done to make politics safer for everyone is to toughen the penalties for those making threats and committing harassment both online and offline so for today keep your thoughts going through twitter you tube out as their dot com for slash
