a former drug addict he agreed to speak to us on condition of anonymity they have nothing much we can do or we're here for recreation we're going to go there for them and basically about it and my way is such a small and can just play with i lived my life off drugs and alcohol. i was a teenager. at one point i was approached by people who started giving me advice on certain little things that apparently that i had all wrong while i pray this and that and and then saw some of them come and ask me to join their. they know all we have broken and we are trying to find a way to get out of something that's been kind of destroying all that i. actually take in that interview losing it to brainwash us they started telling us of all of

the crisis and everything that was going on in no muslim countries all over the world and i was how we as muslims had to be responsible and go join the jihad. and the thing is they they're very calm in seeing because they're actually showing these verses from the good on out of context of each suggests that you have to do these these these these things i had close friends who had gone to syria and who died over the. most of them joined. us. before you know they don't want to do this is a paradise but for us the ones who live here especially the ones who live in mud we don't get the white sandy beaches of the ne oh i think what we get is the concrete jungle. that so many problems the political

problems and people problems. those problems who brought out into the open in 24 to hang on to support it's brandished a black flags in the streets of the capital. mohamed nasheed the former president of the moldings $5150.00 citizens including the islamists to have freedom of speech. you cannot suppress it i would but he said that's ok you say you think. revisit the thing. it was a move that backfired as the same islamists then turned on him the big 2 secular written the security forces there are people in statistic positions us all of us who have who are radical people who have a very radical view of society of islam so that they in customs in

immigration they had embedded themselves they in a crude. in the maldives. and they still have a network going on even wired they're losing it in syria our people are still going and they have also all i've got to kenaz the guns and they using the guns as their religious beliefs. they've gangs carved up territory in the capital mali the violence reached a peak when free speech advocates began to be eliminated. i should check he witnessed this firsthand losing 2 of her close friends ahmed real one and yemeni rashid. ahmed real one was a news reporter the last time he was seen he was on a ferry going home it was oldest 2014. since then no

one has heard from him. an independent inquiry recently found that he was killed by a local group linked to al qaida. i cannot believe it happened. you know where i was hoping that will heal you know eventually it may turn up and you know we'll have a lot. but then it became months and that is 3 years later another voice was signed. you mean rashid was so well known to his feelings rising and secular voices. he described himself as a disobedient writer on his twitter account and used his blog to express his views in the situation still. one of the most prominent bloggers in the country pro-democracy activists geometer she was stabbed to death in a brutal attack early morning on the 23rd of april. i checked the news and

on the heading it says there's a picture of family and he says he's been killed. and. at that moment i kept thinking ok it has finally happened. that thing that we were dreading it on that might happen but it has finally happened. according to the police he was killed by a group of young men who believed he was guilty of insulting islam. the ministry of islamic affairs says $229.00 clerics are authorized to preach anywhere in the archipelago. that includes deed. to nosh this village is getting ready to welcome old devean cleric shaikh mohammed ibrahim . we can do anything here. and the problem is that these are

licensed shakes by the government so if they try to stop that that would be a problem and i don't think the government checks on what they preach and when they speak about and this is a big problem for us and i regard in this show which we have tonight we have searches background has got some extremist who we use and however he is registered and he is licensed by the government to preach in public the very word in a box this this is the way in which the shakespeare infiltrate into the community especially in iran communities. almost the entire island turns up to hear him speak . general korea months is the director general of the national counterterrorism center. mission from the. best method to. this of their conduct.

also have to contend with citizens who are returning home after fighting in conflict zones. a c.e.o. was when the phase minister from 2014 to 26 days. he faces several divisions who for. the prosecution during his tenure. be prosecuted 3 people. and it's the prosecution the sometimes not successful because the c.e.o. of the junta c.d.o. you. they don't go to turkey you know and then they cross the border i don't know cause full of you know nothing like this so it's clear it's good to prove that. we checked with turkish authorities and they confirmed that the number is much bigger . they have deported 25 mile didion citizens suspected of having links to conflict zones and 134 multi-billions a car only on the turkish blacklist. this security challenge was inherited by the

new government reelected to power in april 29th to meet. president ibrahim soli has promised to strengthen democracy in them only. one of his 1st news was to bring the symbol of democracy former president mohamed nasheed could be living in exile back into the country. is a change of government i think the policy is for them to be occupied all the time with u.k. sharing their sports recreation and gainful employment and we need to keep focused on those things so they can have a better life and decide that. but in the us to come in they will come and preach because their life since to do that i don't think it could be changed in the near future but we have to counter that to the different policies we have to counter

their ideologies what they're preaching here. shortly after this interview ali has sheen was forced to resign he came under fire for defending a liberal activist on twitter. the president has said that he will not tolerate religious unrest in the moldings but the battle to stamp out trouble in paradise appears far from over. business updates. going places together.

odd. probably. the. business of. going places together. when it comes to story.

behind the camera. we don't often hear. people. this is you. this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome to the news hour with me it is a plot of coming up the next 60 minutes lebanese banks reopened for the 1st time following 2 weeks of protests by customers are facing transfers aboard.

turkey sends more tanks to its southern border as it begins a joint patrols with russia and northeastern. those in. the u.s. house of representatives votes to proceed to the next public phase of its impeachment inquiry into president donald trump plus. one decades old trees falling in sierra leone as its cash strapped government tries to replace the lost mining revenue and i'm only a hearting with sports and the marathon and race walker on the move tokyo's governor reluctantly gives her support for those races to be relocated to the city of sapporo because of heat concerns. after weeks of protests and roadblocks across lebanon schools and banks have

reopened their doors or people were out again after a speech by president michel aoun last still demanding the entire government step down despite assurances that the next administration should see ministers elected based on their competence rather than political affiliation and to not be more hearted menu today we are shrink into a government and we hope the upcoming government will live up to the aspirations of the people we should gain the confidence of the people and members of the parliament it must be a government which is capable of achieving what the previous governments had failed that's why ministers should be based on their qualifications and expertise not political or sectarian leadership is that they are very critical crossroads it is in dire need of harmonious government. let's go to our correspondent zain harder now she is joining us live from the capital beirut and a busy day for banks saying a reopening for the 1st time in 2 weeks is there

a fear there of capital flight off people trying to take all their money out. well no people some people of course are afraid uncertain times lie ahead in the banks could close that once again especially if the protest movement decides to take to the streets yet again 2 weeks really of massive demonstrations paralyze this country but the central bank is not taking any chances it hasn't made any formal statement about ensuring that there are no there is no capital flight but after talking to customers and bank employees it is clear that you cannot transfer your money outside lebanon unless you have a valid reason for doing so now what is a valid reason if you have to pay for example for your children situation fees or family expenses so they are trying to make sure that the. would go all their savings their money abroad because even before the crisis began levanon so economy

was in a shaky on shaky ground there was a lack of foreign capital even the lebanese leader after the 1st time in 20 years was devalue would devaluing on the on the black market so the central bank is not taking any chances but clearly what the authorities are trying to do is bring back to lebanon to normal sea schools universities anti-government protesters last night took to the streets yet again but these security forces were called in they moved in quickly so this is what the authorities are trying to do but this crisis really is far from over and they are the protesters as you mentioned you know continuing to despise president our own acknowledging yet again he has said this before the system is broken and needs to change. yes he said that before but his speech was very different from his initial speech the 1st speech when the crisis began when he said you cannot topple the ruling elite from the

streets you can only do that through constitutional tools he was very defiant the 1st time around yesterday he was more conciliatory trying to reach out to the people telling the people that in the next government the ministers are going to me technocrats people who have qualifications and not politically affiliated which is really one of the demands of the protest movement but still the reaction from the street has been one of defiance even though we are hearing some in the civil society saying that well there's an opening there maybe we can try to work out some sort of a compromise because what is very clear is that the ruling elite they're not planning to leave power they're clinging on to power what they're trying to do is reach some sort of a compromise maybe a new government with a few new faces but what the street wants is to overhaul the whole political system that means not just the prime minister is going to resign he's already resigned but the president the parliament early elections so there's still a deep political crisis the president has still not called for binding

consultations parliamentary consultations to appoint a prime minister he's holding behind the scenes negotiations with the different political parties to reach some sort of a compromise in order to facilitate the consultation process so dangerous times ahead in a country like lebanon where fault lines are deep the political divide are deep and the sectarian divide is deep despite the fact that the protest movement keeps on chanting that this is nonsectarian but what we have seen is that the different political parties have sent their supporters to the streets and they and the sectarian divide is there and i thank you for that for now that is a new horror with a name to live. now to another story that we're keeping a close eye on turkish and russian troops have started joint patrols the northeastern syria follows a day in between the 2 countries to remove. a kurdish y p g fighters from the area cycle safe saw an encore wants to create runs along the turkish syrian border and extends about 30 kilometers in went on the syrian side of the russian into joint

patrols when one about 10 kilometers deep all along the border between us and maliki am as correspondent husham i had better he is joining us live from shan or for near the turkish syrian border so talk us through what the patrols will and volved hashim and how the not just the why p.g. but the bigger could group you know the s.d.f. the syrian democratic forces feel about this. this is a quite a challenging moment for turkey and for the un for russia because this is the moment there was to verify on the ground that the y.p. jewish is the most important military faction within the last year has retreated from either east of the euphrates so those positions in combine the sort of the 5 men that are moving east of the river raises all those closer to the border north

along the border with turkey out of moving south away from the safe zone it is critical because just a few days ago in some areas like and also the outskirts of us that i there were have the clashes between the syrian opposition fighters the i said a and the syrian army and the all of the other hand turkey although it's had reassurances from russia that 34000 fighters from the white b.g. or retreated from the safe zone still it needs all the ground to verify on its own that that has indeed happened and this explains why this is going to be a critical moment for the 2 countries today we're expecting also the russian military delegation to discuss. the details of that were done at sea of the joint patrols in those areas. and the reason why you're getting those meeting from time to time explains to you the challenges ahead of the 2 countries face

before they even say that cooperation militarily on the ground and hashim as took in russia began their joint patrols in syria we have heard from president assad and he had fighting words for turkey and their involvement in syria. has been very critical of president wasn't accusing him of all sorts of accusations that is an invader that has embezzled the resources of the syrian government in the north northern part of the country president bush said a few days ago was in india of saying that the fight to take over all the territory will continue and that with worse comes to worse his country is willing and ready to launch a war against to to fight against the turkish military in that area listen to what the present was a lesson how to say to her to leave the whole syrian land is wide and the theater of operations is wanted from the far south to the far north the turk is the

american agent in this war we were fighting this turkey everywhere and whenever it struggled to do what it wanted it left no option but war this is obvious but i say we will need to keep open the opportunity for the political process in all its forms and if it didn't produce results then we consider them an enemy and you will get to war there is no other option. well there are still some challenges ahead from a technical perspective to the joint patrols turkey is saying that once after the joint patrols it is determined to set up observation posts along with a safe zone but there are areas that were left by the by the now taken over by the syrian government and the syrian government is going saying it is not going to retreat on the country it is determined to further expand its influence on these areas and this is where the joint patrols are crucial the russians will

interfere here as an intel misery trying to ensure these no friction because some of the observation posts will be implemented just kilometers away sometimes less than one or 2 kilometers from where the syrian army is position they want to ensure that the friction does not exist that good. just bait the with a full blown confrontation between the circus literally of the russian and the syrian army hushing thank you for that now that's husham but over the latest live in show on the over near the turkish syrian border thank you. now thousands of people who say they're fed up with pakistan's government and starting demonstrating on the streets of the capital a convoy dominated by supporters of a conservative opposition party entered islamic album 1st day demand and promised a emraan convent zines the group left at archie on sunday taking up most of what they stopped and several cities along the way if they can who's refused to step down hasn't fulfilled his promise of strengthening the economy come on high the has
