0. hello i maryam namazie you're watching the news hour live from london coming up. with. 3 more dead as iraqi protesters refuse to back down despite the prime minister officially submitting his resignation to the parliament. one of malta as wealthiest man is charged with complacency over the murder of an anti corruption journalist increasing the pressure on the country's prime minister. britain's prime minister vows to toughen up sentences for serious crimes as it emerges friday's london bridge attacker had been in jail for a terror plot. and the d

r c s army says it's killed a senior rebel leader while a mall busy reported to have launched 2 people suspected of being from the same militia. including the draw for the euro 2020 foreigners has taken place with france germany and portugal all drawn together . hello welcome to the news our top story iraq's prime minister has officially handed in his resignation to parliament. he held an emergency meeting with his cabinet and asked the lower house to debate his resignation he said he had no choice but to leave his post. i suppose my resignation was essential to this the crisis and calm the situation in the country i hope the parliament

choose a quick alternative for the country because the situation in the country can't handle a caretaker government for a long. but matty submitting his resignation has done little to calm the protesters around the country after weeks of unrest demonstrators clashed with security forces after trying to block the road in baghdad medical officials say 3 protesters have been shot dead and at least $58.00 have been wounded in these latest protests in the capital but also in the south of the country are developed elect he says the government has done everything it can to meet the demands of protesters but they're saying they won't back down and they vow to continue protesting until there's a complete overhaul of the political system similar fault and has more now from baghdad on what might happen in parliament on sunday. he has officially now sent his resignation letter resignation letter to the parliament we are still unclear whether that is in fact how he should be resigning the constitution does not really

mandate this step in fact the byelaws of the parliament say that he should be submitting his resignation letter to the president who would then merely accept it and that there is in fact no need for the parliament to be voting on that now that the matter he has previously said that he would step down but he was basically pressured by the political establishment to stay on and it seems that following the call of grand ayatollah ali al sistani on friday to resign he was basically no longer able able to to sustain his government and to keep going and he also said that his government will be staying on as a caretaker government for 30 days or until another government was chosen but he also warned that he hoped that the new government would be chosen quickly because the current situation in the country could not really bear care to get a caretaker government for a very long time that is basically the parliament and the president would need to act fast to reach a solution now or what might happen tomorrow on sunday there is

a parliament session and it's still unclear whether the parliament will actually vote on the fire the prime minister's resignation it appears that what might happen is a vote of no confidence of course that is very strange because the prime minister has already submitted his resignation so there is actually no need for parliament to be launching a vote of no confidence but that is the only constitutional mechanism by which they could be voting on his resignation and that requires an absolute majority they do know is a middle east analyst and contributor to the global research website open democracy he says the prime minister's offer to resign is not a solution to iraq's problems. people in iraq were not just protesting against the law that i did the or the politicians that were with him in that cabinet they were protesting against an entire political class an entire political class the have reflected shortcomings towards the public services whether it be education health

care social services and have even failed to keep a sovereign country against the military. attacks whether it be from other countries through funded proxy militias such as iran or the b. from terrorist organizations such as isis so giving giving giving his resignation to the very same parliament that is probably the largest institution in the ethnic sectarian kotor in iraq is the solution in fact it just escalates things however we have to consider this being a symbolic achievement to the protestors this is the very 1st time in iraq's modern history where the people of iraq played a role or pressured the head of the government whether it be a prime minister or a president to resign pressure is growing on multiple prime minister to resign after a prominent businessman was charged over the murder of a journalist you're going to nick has been charged with complicity to murder in the $27000.00 car bomb killing of anticorruption journalist definitely carbonic in its

year he pleaded not guilty to this and other charges related to the case it's developed into a major political crisis for prime minister joseph muscat his chief of staff resigned this week after of course he was being questioned by police i'm joined now from a car car in multiply albert layer who is a journalist at the multi independent newspaper might the prime minister resign. the prime minister is he's expected to be giving a televised address tomorrow morning and the indication is that he will be announcing his intention to step down and start kicking off the process for the leadership race for the labor party which would his part of it will culminate ultimately in an election which will involve and will take place on the 18th of january as to whether he'll learn to step down imminently we are we're not entirely sure yet. but protesters are demanding that his resignation is

immediate what is the atmosphere in the country right now is is he as you say he's facing a great deal of pressure to resign over this case over the murder of. the journalist but i mean what are people feeling about his perhaps resistance to that. well there's been ever since the 1st the rest of the you're going fine it was now 10 days ago there have been 5 protests and each time with the crowds get larger and larger and all of them are calling for the same thing that is now that he's in his immediate resignation and this is something that's that's tracked back to the past ever since the assassination of or since even the panama paper scandal emerged 3 years ago when his keeper of staff who resigned last last tuesday and a senior minister also resigned last year as they were. named as having secret companies so the atmosphere here is it's quite tense in

a way because of the protesters obviously are calling for that resignation and in fact the 2 main political parties had. political rallies all of tomorrow would have been canceled because of the situation. obviously people. are very angry about what has taken place they want to see a change of leadership as a result we know that you're going fenech has been charged with complicity to murder in the murder of daphne khurana gurlitz yet is there a sense of confidence that there will be justice for her murderer that the perpetrator will be found i would say there is a sense of hope but maybe people are more hoping until the conviction is comes about so it's maybe cautious hope i would say well thank you

very much for sharing your thoughts on the story with us albert layer joining us from back a car in malta thank you very much we're here police in london are saying that there is no evidence and knife attack or who killed 3 people on friday was helped by anyone else as one can stab a man and a woman before he was shot dead by police officers on the city's iconic london bridge catherine stansell reports. dramatic new video showing bystanders as they take down an attacker on london bridge after he went on a stabbing rampage they use a whale tusk and a fire extinguisher to stun him and then tackle him before armed police move in. i'll be born and bred and bred in stoke on trent in co beach and the older community knows me and they will know you if you ask them dave will no labels will deploy you know that teddy's disc that you will know. i know tony said those words spoken by osman khan just over 10 years before friday's attack. and 28 year old was

attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitation when he threatens to blow up the venue he stabbed 5 people before running out to nearby london bridge. in 2012 he was convicted in connection to a plot to blow up the london stock exchange he was released from prison in december last year serving less than half his sentence we want to toughen up sentences for serious and violent offenses and i've said for a long time that i think that the practice of automatic early release why would you cut a sentence in hoffman lit really serious violent offenders out early simply isn't working and i think you've had some very good evidence of how that is working i'm afraid with this case the pearl board said it had no involvement in his release in a statement it said given the seriousness of this attack it is understandable that there is speculation about the attackers released from prison the parole board can

confirm it had no involvement with the release of the individual identified as the attacker who appears to have been released automatically on license without ever being referred to the board police are searching khan's home in staffordshire 3 hours north of london they believe he was acting alone and there is no further threat to the public the circumstances surrounding khan's release are now in the spot. flight the former head of the national counterterrorism security office has issued a scathing criticism of the criminal justice system saying that it's playing russian roulette with the public by allowing convicted criminals to be released from prison too early and this will be a key election issue here as well with police and prisons being subject to budget cuts over recent years catherine stansell al jazeera london. is a former london metropolitan police chief superintendent joins me now from us well hill in north london one of the questions in your mind about how and why aslan khan

was released after being convicted of terrorism offenses. well i mean people are very very surprised i think you had a situation where somebody who was article a gang of 9 individuals were trying to blow up the london stock exchange you know that iconic buildings in london was convicted up for trial they were subsequently sent to prison but we don't know what's happened with his co defendants who would have also reached the end of their trial i think those there's a significant concern about the judgement made by individuals to allow him to come back into london because he's proposed probation traditions were not to come back into london and he was part of the government to prevent strategy which is designed to radicalize individual serve so lots and lots of questions to be not over but i think i think there are 3 key issues here one is the huge reduction in police resources we've lost 22 to half 1000 police officers and 18

a half step out of reach support star we've had the probation service reduced and indeed much of it was privatized before sitting with the verse and we have a situation where the government prevents a as be brought into question and in fact as he allowed that last point why has it been brought into question there is concerns over austerity measures and the way resources have been quite a number of police on the streets but in terms of the radicalisation programs it's been a lot of work on this in recent years how effective are they. well 18 months ago sadly we had another terrorist attack on the bridge on the other side on the south side of the bridge and on that occasion one of the attackers but his brother was in receipt of a preventive grant of 10000 pounds or so the 2 brothers were living in the same house one went on to be a killer and murdering no but were going to murdered 8 people who support a shot by police and the other brother was involved in giving out

a prevent program so here you can't if you can't hold someone if you can't hold someone indefinitely in prison how difficult is it then to establish whether a person like khan is still deemed to be a threat after he's been convicted of these offenses well i mean that's a dialogue you know you can if you're basically you don't know what's going on and somebody said they can say whatever they want to on a deed article are zation knowing that the opportunity to be taken off it if i clip earlier on you'll be to clip earlier not short the show has been can basically say you know i don't know why people are calling me a terrorist the clearly he had been written radicalized and had and was plotted and was successfully convicted of trying to blow up iconic site so that prevent program has not got the confidence of the wider community and we've also seen at least not actually working we don't have individuals who are part prevent who go on to commit pence's all right well thank you fresh air for speaking to us this evening we do

appreciate it from the london metropolitan police chief superintendent appel a curate. at the news hour live from london much more still ahead thousands of people surround a police station in india demanding justice for the mud and suspected rape of a 27 year old will. india's audience that is a force to protect themselves from angry customers as a vegetable shortage hits critical levels. manny's the main man as the philippines puts on a dazzling display in southeast asian games we'll have the details in sports. a mall but is reported to have lynched 2 suspected rebels in the town of beni in the northern kenya region of the democratic republic of congo the a.f.p.

news agency says the crowd attacked a man and woman dressed in civilian clothes off the munitions were found in their bags the allied democratic forces militia has been blamed for killing more than 100 civilians in the past month the most recent attack early on saturday claimed 14 lives and could tama in the city of meanwhile the army says it's killed an a.d.f. senior commander mohamad islam late on friday catherine sawyer has more now on this latest attack and could tama. residents are now feeling that it's safe to go and assess the situation and we're also hearing that some of the bodies are mutilated others have their heads cut off and this is a situation that people have been talking about for the past week or so people very upset with what is going on but. able to calm and carry out attacks yet we have thousands of soldiers in that area carrying out an offensive against a.d.f. we have u.n. peacekeepers in that area as well yesterday evening the 28 people who were killed

earlier this week. still very much in shock still afraid that these rebels might come back and we've been talking to the governor of north cuba where benny's a territory in north kivu province will be talking to the governor about just what is going on. he said that this seems to be a strategy being employed by the a.t.f. they want to cause maximum panic and fear they want to show that beny is ungovernable the security situation is out of control and they know that people are angry security forces so they're playing on that and they want to anger people even more so that we can see more protests going on in yemen to see rebels have released footage they say shows the shooting down of a saudi apache helicopter the group says it's behind the downing of the aircraft on friday and that 2 saudi pilots were killed but no confirmation from riyadh on this

but the helicopter was hit by a surface to air missile and then crashed on the saudi's side of the border meanwhile people inside yemen have been marching through the southern city of ties to protest against a worsening economic crisis demonstrators blame the government and the saudi led coalition for mismanaging the economy almost 5 years of war has destroyed roads and much needed facilities as a shortage of basic goods many yemenis are on the verge of famine the conflict started in 2014 after who see rebels overthrew the internationally recognized government. yemen's economy is one of the poorest and least developed in the world for more than 20 years it's relied on aid from international agencies despite large oil and gas resources about 75 percent of the population lives below the poverty line that's up from 47 percent before the war the u.n. says more than 80 percent of yemen's 30000000 population are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection since the war began the economy is contract of 50 percent from march 2015 to october 2018 with an expected inflation rate this

year of 20 percent now thousands of protesters surrounded a police station earlier in the indian city of hydrabad where 4 men accused of raping and murdering a 27 year old woman being held they demanded that police have the suspects over to them woman was taken to a secluded area where she is thought to have been gang raped being after being doused in fuel and burned her body was found on thursday morning under a bridge she had earlier called her family to say most a bike had a flat tire. indian police saying that priyanka reddy body was found by a possible by in an underpass on the outskirts of the city provided that together. the girl had returned from place and was only way to see a doctor she parked to scrutiny of the told plaza and when she was returning a stranger approached to tell her it's a tie was punctured she'd been called a system in the in her mobile phone was switched off we are investigating evey's

angles and now we have some evidence. well the indian government has toughened some of its laws to reduce crimes against women after the rape of a woman on a bus in 2012 in 2013 that the maximum prison term for rape was double to 20 years actions including voyeurism stalking and trafficking of women who are also classified as offenses parliament lowered the age suspects could be tried for rape and other sexual offenses from $18.00 to $16.00 the latest figures show nearly 39000 women were raped in india in 2016 including more than 2000 girls under the age of 12 i'm joined now from washington d.c. by gopalaswami a commentator on indian affairs and it would seem that despite measures taken by the indian government to toughen its right because it's failed to act as any sort of to terence because these crimes continue. well that's correct i mean in the sense. of the raid you know precisely

a few years ago in december there was another brutal rape case that happened in delhi and that raise. that raised alarms in a very significant manner that brought these crimes to light and and you know the law enforcement agencies have since acted in the response of mode. yes you know the courts or responding to what the law enforcement agencies are responding it responding to it but but this crime yesterday reminds us that you know no matter how hard and how aggressive the lawyer the law enforcement agencies are that it looks to us that it's all these measures are too little too late i think you know that needs to be some kind of a prevention program so to speak to prevent this because we're all very little we're always shocked and angered by these crimes but we find ourselves left with no solutions. to address these crimes so that they don't repeat themselves.

the case of this 27 year old woman who have been gang raped and murdered is there anything that strikes you about the characteristics of what happened in this case she that this suspicion is that she was gang raped but then she was doused in feel and her body burned. i mean i mean it's just the brute out the brutality of it and it's just the way the disregard for human life. you know. the fundamental treatment of women. as you know them also i think the initial the 1st responders the law enforcement agencies how quickly you know i think that's resp eek and as i watch the news in india the. the poor the law enforcement agencies are accused of delayed response so i think it's about these best practices about what the protocol is the sensitization the public

awareness all these kinds of things you know right i mean we've seen 2 brutal cases are a number of few cases between the between the one that we saw in december a few years ago and what we're seeing today but but i think at a mass level that a number of cases that have gone that have not received this amount of media scrutiny so these are kind of things that we're these are kind of patterns that we see overall and i and i would pray for the law enforcement i'm sure they're doing their best but at the same time how do we work on a mamá sensitizes ation program and what are the best practices that the citizens need to be aware of for us to prevent these kinds of cases occurring going forward but to go pers wame thank you well in some other stories some indian onion sellers i should say in india started wearing helmets to protect themselves from angry customers throwing stones at

a price of a staple that skyrocketed leaving out of reach for many people excessive monsoon rains damaged onion crops leading to the price rise india which is the world's largest exporter of onions banned exports in september to curb the cost even been cases of looting with the stealing onions and selling them on. we have to protect ourselves if we so our news on our own people start the 1st stones at some of us which is why we have to wear helmets. meanwhile millions of india's indigenous people are living in fear of being evicted from their land that's because state governments have been slow to enforce a law that protects their rights politicians say the forest need to be preserved but critics say they're only promoting business interests and visited the state of media pradesh where the native community is fighting back. they've seeing and surely by our farmers and forages. living off the forests in the state of

market in central india. the family of 5 eat what they grow and drink from the stream. but their claim to land in the forest was rejected by the local government and india's supreme court ordered their eviction. singh is aware of the government's plans to create a violent sanctuary in the forest. there are we as a diverse these are the original inhabitants on the forest belongs to us for use the truth is we can't live without our jungle and we just can't live in a city. more than a 1000000 indians across different states in india like multiple chat disco and child country may lose their homes and their way of life if the court order is carried out. by behavior is one of the many farmers who've already been evicted. the allege that they were beaten up by government forest workers and forced from the forest years ago and warning forest officials burn down our homes and metres

homeless we are forced to even look for jobs is doing labor's activists say the 2006 forest rights act guaranteed the right of these people to their land but see the government is seeking to weaken this law with indigenous people out of the way it's easy for the governments to simply sell of lands to corporate store industries and mining operations with his has been happening for the past 5 years in on allies not scale the act recognize the right of 150000000 people to inhabit and live off 40000000 hectares of forest land in india so they could preserve their customs and culture and protect the forests the people here insist the forests provide them with everything they need it would be nice to have a few street lamps and a few paved streets but they refuse to give up the forest and move to a city they say if there's anything they fear more than forest officials it is the continuous erosion of their culture and identity for the forest department staff

now it's all about following procedure. to those whose claims have been rejected to being checked by village committees this is on the process now. while they wait for the supreme court's order they've seen and she had by live off the natural riches of the finest. along with their compatriots all over india they will fight the powers that be to protect their traditional way of life. to india. and you at the news hour live from london much more still ahead south american president is convicted of mass murder but will he ever actually serve jail time. a breakthrough practices designed to reduce bombings carbon footprint and back on tell us how michael hamilton's so happy heading into the season ending formula one ground pray the details with roll coming up later.

hey we're going to welcome back to your international weather forecasts were here across europe we are talking about 2 particular areas that we are going to see some stormy wintry mix of weather over the next 24 to 48 hours 1st of all down here across the southeast we do have a front that's pushing across the black sea and into turkey that's going to bring a lot of heavy rain across some areas as well as some snow and then now here towards the west where we do have a system across parts of france the iberian peninsula we are going to be seeing some winds and the temperatures really in france only getting into the mid single digits over paris here on sunday expect to see attempt a few about 4 degrees a lot of that weather will be transitioning over here towards the south and east so for italy that means you're going to be seeing some more rain in the forecast a lot of the areas are saturated so the likelihood of flooding is increased as the

system does come into play here on monday down towards our growth you will be clearing. but it is going to be a little bit cooler with the time to there of 5 degrees well for the northwestern part of africa expect to see your conditions starting to go downhill as we begin the week not really looking too bad here on sunday for much of morocco but by the time we get towards monday very heavy rain expected to come into play would be singer but with rain at 15 in algiers it's going to cloudy and rainy day at 70. this. month and i never thought i'd be singing in parliament with the poor i never dreamt of the way the words fail music speaks to short films about how

headlines now now iraq's prime minister. has officially handed in his resignation to the country's parliament but it's done little to compress his across the country with another 3 people shot dead in the capital baghdad. a prominent maltese businessman has been charged with complicity to murder in the $27000.00 car bomb killing of journalist daphne. the charges against fenech put further pressure on the prime minister joseph muscat to resign and it's emerged that the man who killed 2 people in a knife attack in central london on friday had been released from prison off way through his sentence for bomb plots a smug khan was shot dead by police on london bridge the scene of another attack 2 years ago. voters across the u.k. is set to head to the polls in less than 2 weeks the country's 3rd general election in just 4 years as expected breaks it has been dominating the campaign trail with all of the parties divided on it the leader of the conservatives boris johnson

claims he's the best man to get it done but there are some in brussels who are not so sure as jonah hill explains. with the conservative party ahead in opinion polls boris johnson's campaign to get bricks it done could prove election winning and we can get on with that deal not just the promise of leaving by january 31st but with a trade deal too by the end of 2020 so we get. more than 3 years after the u.k.'s breaks it referendum it is a beginner ling timeline but one that is viewed with rather less optimism by the e.u. side though it's for him it's much easier to to sell people this story he knows the truth is he's clearly not telling people the full truth so the into felt is a member of the european parliament she's fiercely anti breaks it but reconciled to want mainline. it will be very difficult i mean people it often make the comparison

with the negotiations we had with canada for a free trade agreement i mean canada is probably the most european country on earth . they're very close to us and yet it took 7 years to negotiate trade deal and it still hasn't been ratified if brakes it does become law by january 31st that would leave just 11 months to complete a trade deal before the end of the formal transition period if you thought negotiating the withdrawal agreement was tough to say said what is here in brussels you ain't seen nothing yet there's talk of a brutal reckoning for u.k. negotiators as they get to grips with the future relationship complete with uncomfortable compromises prolonged uncertainty and yet more nail biting deadlines to come. boris johnson insists they will be no further extensions raising the prospect of no deal on future relations between britain and its biggest trade partner really had several in this process and really we've got one coming up even

before the end of next year because they would have to be a decision normally. or whether to extend the transition period in the middle of the year so actually with the time we can respond the we would even if everything goes according to plan from the u.k. government so you don't leave on january 31st rest but it would be very short of faster for i wouldn't necessarily take his claims that he would extend at face value because he also said the u.k. would leave that you on the 31st of october come what may and here we are but i think concerning the trade relations it's a bit like asking whether you can build a house in a week of course you can bit house in a week but the question is what kind of house you're going to get and whether anyone is going to be very happy with the house it's an irony not lost on many that the oldest part of the european parliament building in strasburg is named after

britain's wartime leader boris johnson if he wins will need a strong dose of churchill's fighting spirit if he's to get bricks it done as promised jonah hill al-jazeera brussels. well to political developments in germany where hundreds of people protested against a far right alternative for germany party is it met to elect new leaders riot police fenced off the area to stop demonstrators reaching the meeting hall. and. elected to lead germany's largest opposition party mainstream parties have refused to work with their f.t. though which has made significant electoral gains in germany's eastern regions they say the party encourages political violence threats and immigration policies albanian authorities of called off the search for survivors of tuesday's earthquake the death toll from the $6.00 magnitude quake the biggest hit the adriatic nation is now $51.00 1st victims are being buried with large attendances at the funerals in a show of national unity if there are more than $500.00 aftershocks rocking the already

red carpet for syrian arms president does he vowed to sue this week he defended beijing over the protests in hong kong. and strongly reject any form of interference. any. but while he's been in china the news back home wasn't good for about a military court found him guilty of murder and sentenced him to 20 years in prison in a case that goes back decades a panel of judges ruled out as oversaw an operation in which well known journalists lawyers and university teachers were rounded up and killed for the crime of criticizing his leadership the victims' families have long doubted whether bowed to so would face justice in the trial which began in 2007 he accepted political responsibility for the killings but said he wasn't there i think it's safe to say

that the country is split on this case he supported you know it's a very well organized party. he is the president he is elected democratically. has dominated politics in the former dutch colony since he seized power during a coup in 1980 after being elected president in 2010 he pushed through a law granting himself immunity which was later overturned in 2009 he told al jazeera he was looking forward to the end of this case and the other. one let's wait and see the wording of the judge's order it is not nice that we carry out the trial at this moment let's wait for the outcome of the verdict and sentencing are being seen as a triumph for the rule of law but authorities in suriname have yet to issue a warrant for the president's arrest and are schapelle al-jazeera. sunday marks a year since mexican president andres manuel lopez obrador took office his approval ratings remain high but critics say he's done little to solve major problems that

sicko registered a record number of homicides in the 1st 6 months of the year and the violence is showing no sign of slowing down as alan fischer puts now from mexico city. luis enrique hopes one day soon his daughter will stop being a statistic one of the thousands missing in mexico he stopped strangers on the street asking for help follows up every possible lead but more than a month on i'm ronnie is still missing from my home in a cat to pick about an hour's drive from mexico city. i couldn't get in touch with her by foreigner what set me says i didn't know she came to my house or went to my mother's but i wasn't worried because she did that sometimes i thought maybe her cell phone ran out of vetri the next day there was still no contact he'd no choice but to go to the authorities to report her missing missing this but he will i felt defenseless and i felt impotent because i had to do all the investigation i had to bring all the information to the authorities i even had to force them to search for

her. i'm irani is one of thousands of mexicans who disappeared each year some have been trafficked others have been murdered the greaves litter mexico or mexico elected a new president last year they did so largely on the promises made by andres manuel lopez obrador that he would end the plague of violence in the country but in the 1st 6 months of this year the 1st 6 months of his presidency the moderate has hit and historic high. we are changing the strategy to combat insecurity and violence because it was a failed strategy that only consisted in the use of force and it didn't deliver any results it only made things worse. despite his election promising a new security policy there have been clear challenges to the rule of law in mexico the most blatant when the authorities were forced to release the captured son of drug lord joachim el chapo guzman when the send a lower cartel took control of the area he was being held in so what we have is
