to wait 2 years for his hearing if he's given international protection it'll be up for renewal every 3 years a new asylum law that takes effect on january 1st forces renewal every year i asked me how he would feel if that applied to him. it's cruel and unfair instead of focusing on renewing papers every year and whether i can maneuver them or not i could just focus on supporting my family and being a good citizen and supporting greece but they're doing this on purpose to drive us away and also don't allow us to go to another european country to apply for asylum there another want nor want us to leave greece is a turning point for 6 years it's tried to keep up with asylum applications but constant new arrivals keep lengthening its backlog of cases greece's a-g. and islands where asylum seekers arrive from turkey are in constant crisis reception camps are built for 6000 people now house 30000 the 3 month old conservative government says greece needs

a tougher asylum law that keeps economic migrants out of the system and allows only true refugees to apply human rights groups are crying foul. what this law does is to deregulate the asylum procedure in this country and expose many people to real danger of being seen back without their asylum applications being seriously examined and it introduces so many obstacles that the asylum procedure is an accessible to many people who truly need it these government wants a faster procedures we want to separate who is really a refugee and who is an economic migrant from africa to pakistan countries that aren't at war see europe as paradise because it has social security. infrastructure and stability the government. believes the new law will allow it to deport $10000.00 unqualified asylum seekers next year that's 5 times more than it's deported in 3 years under an e.u. turkey agreement greece also wants other e.u.

members to take asylum applicants off its hands. greece has received 6 out of 10 migrants who've crossed the mediterranean this year and it's processing one in 10 e.u. asylum applications that's 7 times it's under european commission rules there's currently no burden sharing mechanism for countries like greece with external e.u. borders and that's perhaps what frightens greece most it's the recipient of a phenomenon it can't control europe is happy to send money and rules but little else jumps are open last athens to the americas now where chile's government has been meeting with opposition leaders in a fresh bid to end protests over economic inequality the talks and a cabinet reshuffle have not appeased protesters although thursday's demonstrations were smaller than usual in santiago there were some clashes between protesters and police with officers firing water cannon into crowds. colombia has launched

this is our house and dorothy's we tell you you are not welcome here. the colombian government is blaming at this event faction of the now demobilized rebel group fight for demurred hers the attackers crippled the governor's car with bullets in a grenade as a community tried to stop them from entering their territory 6 other men were wounded. others caught up in via tak to save themselves by jumping off this cliff president to travel to the region to condemned the attack and then announced to the ploy mentor of $2500.00 troops to the region that amid the laws clearly the murderers and those responsible for this crime a drug trafficking organizations dissidents outcasts what they want is to maintain the drug traffic light business and seek to silence in an indigenous community. yet

his announcement rang hollow for many here trade center attacks have increased since the signing of the peace deal with fire in 2016120 indigenous people have been killed in the last 14 months there's anger and fear among the community most believe the government's response has been too little too late and could even prove to be counterproductive just an honor to do it but. this is useless it will only bring more violence more conflict and more did you know military presence is not the solution the solution is social investment in the communities to in the need for drug trafficking for the people have to track where you are their response to their repeated calls for help has been inadequate leaving them mourning the dead at their last tragedy and wondering who will be next i listen to them and just see that where you are. australia's national carrier has grounded 3 of its planes after cranks were found in their wings us federal aviation regulators call them all

welcome to the stream politicians around the u.k. say they are facing constant abuse buzz 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 the

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 aimed at her and her family a day earlier a 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. these is a labor party councilor for oxford city council she is also cold 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 steve 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 saudade unseemly and grotesque according to a little man on the internet that is alluding to some of the behavior that is happening on social around politicians came you happen to know that this isn't just online harassment for jess things have actually happened offline as well can you tell us a little bit more what do 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 dear 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 had 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 growing 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 so many people say what it is that you're referencing you talked about a toxic debate getting worse people on line 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 m.p.'s online and one of the writers of that piece in a video comment in it he talks about the kind of people that takes to the web take to twitter to spew this abuse this is liam mclachlan 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 go to peace and peace what they do is quite reactionary in nature they'll see

a tweet on their feet and respond to that or the see something in the news or there's the house of commons debate interested in seeing the most abuse comes in the form to reply to an m.p.'s tweet or it spikes massively whenever the bracks it's being beta house of commons. caroline i'll give ballin 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 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 about 3 minutes of her leg or 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 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 the lead with the use 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 when you take a 10th of an education you don't have to repeat but this isn't just a piece and harassment that is happening online can you never see a little glimpse of your offline life as well you know so i think that's a really important point to make it's easier to ignore it when it's online and i take the view it's your expert said 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 that sadly didn't have a chance to get up and you suddenly hear a gentleman that melted 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 in your experience and what is going on in the

u.k. that somebody would come up and say that in the straight. i think what's going on is that i respectfully cited spaces of misfortune the if be normalized be normalized by people he ships who are all using very talk. racist language and this is the norm a lot and. i honestly was lucky enough to ask him those i went to show for 5 years and she was one of the kindest most polite 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 i'm doing better 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 very present and who has the type of access to such the documentary towards women and also he would u.k.

as a physical with the woman the fact that my prime minister that amount of good luck to be the prime minister u.k. by all to be the fifty's a talk of language teaching as well 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 i did god to keep old. routing hate. it they just be it made people are living it may just be like what actually does homophile an alibi doesn't get 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 but it's not i think a lot more not nice to be dug out of people who are going out of their way to spread take prednisone from ations and they ought to be talking women are specifically to targeting minority women i met during the. how do i would also want to also add to that i think in terms of of politicians and what politicians can do to improve

things. what shall i say and how answered. 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 little passionate debates 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 bridge that divide so i think it's really important to not just look at people who are who are giving a politician time that is 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 kim 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 the 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 it why you 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 ball not the man or woman and i think we have to make sure that we are careful about the language we use that's critically important that people have heard me in the house of commons calling out colleagues that have used careless language that have nor 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 we 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 with in x. 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 but i think them came you mention the media earlier and they meet 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 have got that language to begin perfectly 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 unsure 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 more than women are and we did we went there

but i think for a lot of men that i'm a book too. expressed views without showing anger now it's completely legitimate to be angry it's not legitimate to be racist homophobic it's origin is the issue does it to tell women m.p.'s online that you're going to go that level 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 the should not refrain and also just want to add one final thing which is i go out of the door there are knock on doors on a regular basis i've been subject to a lot of very angry people and 9 times out of 10 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 like i have had love a conversation with the going from being very very unusual very language a very charged limb call back and they calm down but part of the reason that 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've got to . listen 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 son back and she is an m.p. she is a lamenting at how many women now are standing down from their m p 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 kind of on of the 1st one it's good you've no confidence vote women shouldn't be in politics it goes on and on and on that is just one example of the how receiving feedback that you are getting from your constituents if you are an m.p. let me introduce your audience to joe swinson 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 are here 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 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 and i think probably like the rest of us they are frustrated and they are angry and it was been quite a bit frustrating situation to be having to be so obsessed with one issue when you want to be focusing on things that the country cares about but yeah i mean what we do think 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 did 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 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 understand good how or anything like that but is this is the do did you want extreme opinion so often you know i try and take a view where i try and see all sides of the argument. so certainly you end up in this sort of big space in the middle and that's not 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 start thinking about how they can take a more balanced view of things you know and getting people on who might not be saying things that are going to make headlines so that that's what i was saying to them in terms of the media's role i want to play a 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 to support me impacted by online abuse and harassment and a study by an international and elegant ai last year found that female politicians

and journalists in the study who were black were 84 percent more likely to be mentioned in a piece of tweet and white women and asian women were most likely to be mentioned in tweets that contained racial ethnic or religious slurs and the result of all of this is that online abuse arose our democracy by silencing and censoring the most marginalized voices in society it means that women and women of color in particular are just unable to freely and eastley express themselves online without fear of violence or abuse so i found about one to you because as a woman of color you already mentioned islam and so b a how do you think those issues affect you differently than they might other polys of yours. they fight me deeply and personally. other women of color to keep black women are very clear about that by then to the levels of hate we always know that when you look at the minute you use a tool side of the. it's unclear. how

long it's a reflection the high. in the life well it's kind of a mirror you know it's like well i just want out real life and i think people just become home so that they can do a month because they could be anonymous so if you are a visible minority like me for example of our nation i find that people think it's ok to like email me to my face i mean i could be talking about how to respond and i would be ciancia and again usually fined by many because. i be talking about should be a little bit less g.m. the she talked about was because women while i've been talking about housing so whatever i do think they will try about muslim women. just as jewish women i explained in the same thing as well and it's deliberately got me stumped by the thought if done to minimize that and not to make this 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 up while these people are busy trying to hold the country down. and you know i think that was really obvious from the tweet that antoinette was illegal and on that said women can't think under pressure yeah and that is absolutely a tactic to try and shut women up a step and go away to the woman you're not clever enough to think when things were difficult do you really do have to spare the sort of person that thinks that's ok to to hold those attitudes to a confetti those attitudes publicly but i sure doesn't alter the media culture and the political culture in mabel's those people because that's the messaging that they're getting from mainstream media and from many of our mainstream politicians you know it all but even to each other it's a beast that's beating feeding is now completely and this is why they're dangerous but there's a lot of hope out there just one very clearly and while i think women are thank you

show me towards each other going 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 the kids watching this if you love to do this go and do it don't let anyone but you generally don't do those things last 20 minutes if we've scared anybody else who wants to really involved in politics that i also miss 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 thicky ford m.p. and she talks about a special bond holding together in politics i think we are witnessing that right now on this show is so great to share a whole bunch of women who look who is in this picture excuse me who i just show you or caroline's backache as she's talking to ease of is in here. not so when using that it's all a 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 that there were a bunch of tory women some of whom were studying down some of whom were staying on there were a lot of tears last night because we we feel very strongly that they're all good current lovely people even qualified to see some who were only elected in 2015 people at sea in the kennedy davis and it is heartbreaking if you 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 we have to change the tone of our politics we aren't going to achieve that unless we get wall women into politics and i arrived in parliament in 2010 and i had never experienced such early in my life i was the youngest daughter to a man who had daughters i had had a charmed life and i saw the thought of lived in a always prep school currently in the middle to 30 who got less than me it's going

your closing thought for us where the water. some of the artistic together i've had some fantastic support from women and peace across the house and i think that's really crucial that we do have to stand up for each other and out for each other thank you so much how i know it's so i as a labor party counselor can let whatever lead better excuse me from the joe cuts foundation ladies thank you for being with us on the stream today final word goes to milk and 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 are mine and offline so for today keep your thoughts going through twitter you tube out as their dot com for slash the stream i think now the next time. 00 players play.

constitution that requires members of congress to actually take the step in order to conduct an impeachment inquiry of the us president however congressional republicans have argued that the process which has been led by house democrats has been illegal the president has called it a witch hunt so by calling this vote on the state the house speaker nancy pelosi essentially was calling house republicans bluff challenging them to say that they did not support a public and official inquiry even though that had been their complaint all along the next step for house democrats is to try to move from the closed door preliminary questioning of witnesses inside the trumpet ministration to a series of public hearings perhaps by the end of november at the earliest what democrats are hoping to do is to convince the general public that what has been

reported has been breaching the u.s. constitution and they want these witnesses to make their case before the general public house republicans however are looking for ways of stopping this process from taking place but regardless of what happens in the coming weeks it is clear that there is a real question about the president's credibility and about whether he was crossing the line in order to advance his personal political agenda house republicans saying they're going to make certain that this is not what they are calling a coup. iraq's president has vowed to hold early elections and says prime minister . will resign but only once a replacement is agreed large crowds have again made their way to top leave square in central baghdad on thursday knowing more than 200 people have been killed in the weeks of violent and to government protests natasha going to move back to. 9 and a half minutes into an almost 13 minute speech to the nation where bank iraqi president
