welcome to the program iraqi prime minister. has formally submitted his resignation to parliament but it's done little to comp a test has around the country demonstrators clashed with security forces off the trying to block a road in the capital baghdad medical officials say 3 protesters were shot dead and at least 58 wounded in protests that some of the fulton reports from baghdad. the day prime minister of the mahdi submitted his resignation crowds in tahrir square showed no intention of packing up and going home banners were still held high doctors remained on standby to treat the wounded and new street art sprung to life depicting the aspirations of the protest movement. for many the prime minister's departure is just the 1st perhaps the easiest step on a long road towards change they want parliament dissolved and fresh elections to be

held under a new election law the problem is not just the prime minister it's not the queen it's a whole beehive all of them have to resign if the prime minister leave someone similar to him will replace him. it's a fear dad risks becoming a reality in an emergency cabinet meeting of the mahdi said he would stay on as part of a caretaker government until parliament chose his replacement. morkel to be. there is no doubt that the council and its parties and members will oversee the finding of an appropriate solution as fast as possible because the country in this circumstances cannot endure a caretaker government for a long time so i want the parliamentary to complete the procedures to appoint a new prime minister and government. that process could take weeks even months and requires buy in from local and foreign power brokers because.

for sure the political parties are facing a difficult exam they can't go back to the balance of power that used to be in place they have to come up with an extraordinary government which has to complete the process of passing a new election law that is agreed by the protesters. but reforms won't bring the victims back nor will they appease those who mourn them as the death toll rises demands for justice grow louder. comes to tahrir square every week to pray for the victims she doesn't just want to leave she wants his government to be held accountable. and not it's. not just him those who opened fire she gave the order this is blood this is the blood of the people of the guilt their pride claims and they go to the graves instead of celebrating their wedding they're stained with blood. or those responsible for that bloodshed should be punished the government has promised to investigate the most recent violence but as the focus

shifts towards appointing a new prime minister such promises risk being forgotten demonstrators have welcomed his offer to resign but their joy is overshadowed by uncertainty over whether he will really leave and what will happen next with big changes for the rockefeller along many fear that whoever succeeds him will simply carry on with what they see as the same failed political for the wonderful thing in all of this iraq. when it's been sterling in the u.s. state of virginia he's in iraq analyst at the washington institute for near east policy so the iraqi prime minister has now officially resigned is this like to have any impact on the protests because the violence seems to be getting worse. and indeed that is one of the challenges of what happens to the use of violence the protesters now that even the symbolic commander in chief is no longer around so that's definitely one of the challenges of escalation

a crackdown on the protesters but on the other hand this could be literally a fork in the road this could be the beginning of a series of reforms this is the government the leading political coalition giving in by allowing the prime minister to resign this could lead in that direction with the reforms of the electoral law and the electoral commission coming in and perhaps eventually actions in 2020 or this could be the end of the road for any any reforms or any changes that the political class is willing to surrender to the protesters and were heard in the past 24 hours that the protesters are intent on keeping. keeping the put this up and thing in those swears it's an interesting point you make about the political reform so what does this resignation below mean for the iraqi cabinet could we see them resign and i'll be long for them to see this complete political overhaul that the protesters have demanded which you appear to be optimistic about. the resignation of the prime minister automatically means the

resignation of the entire cabinet. this is the 1st time that this happens in iraq so the legal ways forward not necessarily clear but one way or another there has to be a new the president has to give mandate to a new person or a new bloc in parliament to form a new government the prime minister in his resignation letter specifically says that iraq needs a permanent government rather than it can't their government something that the street have requested the latter a caretaker government that you know once the affairs intil new elections are in place for a new system to be placed i mean adamant he was the face of this lack of accountability in the iraqi political system rather than the system itself so he could easily be scapegoated in fact is probably overdue for him to be leaving the scene but this is not the end of the road and we saw iraq's top shia cleric grand ayatollah ali al sistani call for a new government how much influence does he have in shaping the new political

landscape do you think. that i happen to me at all. yes yes i hear you. yes go ahead bill i'll go ahead. grand ayatollah sistani has played a significant role in channeling the protest movement into a single ask of the political leadership and of the government obviously in the absence of strong iraqi state institutions on the one hand and also in the in the absence of organized civil society the inability of the populist and public what this movement into being translated into employee specific apps that allow us that he has played that again referring back to the mentees resignation letter he doesn't say in response to the protesters but specifically says in response to the

call by grant that the losses that he saw in that in playing that communication that the channeling the ask of the story he has played a significant role and obviously he has his own politics and power to be mindful of he's been challenged by your on as the main we're all going to be politics on the one hand on the other his source of power and his is ultimate accountability is not to the political class but to the masses who look up to him for religious doctrines but also as a savior so his evolution be able ocean of his stance in the past 8 weeks 8 fridays since the protests started has been from basically saying little into completely and outright siding with the protesters and that culminated in him asking the prime minister to resign but i will have thank you very much indeed for talking to our visitor. the pressure is growing on malta's prime minister after a prominent businessman who was charged over the murder of a journalist your confect has been charged with complicity to murder of daphne

carolina galaxia in 2017 he pleaded not guilty to this and other charges relating to the case has developed into a major political crisis for prime minister joseph muscat his chief of staff resigned this week amid reports that he was being questioned by police but we spoke to albert galle a journalist at the malta independent about the possible repercussions this case could have of the prime minister. 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 stocking up the process or the leadership race for the labor party which he's part of many partly in an election which will inform would take place on the 18th of january as to whether he'll step down imminently we are we're not entirely sure yet. about protests those are demanding that his resignation is if the media ever since. the 1st political

infighting was now 10 days ago there has been a protest any time 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 that track back for the off ever since the assassination of things even the panama paper scandal moved here 3 years ago when his staff who resigned last last year was there and a senior minister who also resigned last year was they were wearing named as having secret companies. it's been revealed a man who killed 2 people in a knife attack in london was released from prison last year after serving just half a sentence for his part in a 4 wheeled bomb plot was macomber shot dead by police on london bridge on friday he began his attack at a conference he was attending on prisoner rehabilitation conference tassel reports . dramatic new video showing bystanders as they take down an attacker on london

serious and violent offenses and i've said for a long time that i think that the practice of automatic early release where 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's no further threat to the public the circumstances surrounding khan's release are now in the spotlight the former head of the national counter-terrorism security office has

these measures are too little too late i think you know there needs to be some kind of a prevention program so to speak to prevent this because we're always that old 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 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 are seeing today but but i think at a mass level there are a number of cases that have gone that have not received this amount of media scrutiny so these are kind of things that 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 asian 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 50 rebels in yemen have released footage they say shows the shooting down of

. a measles epidemic sweeping through some has now killed 42 people more than 3000 cases have been registered since october when the outbreak began most of the victims are children under the age of 4 the world health organization says. has worsened the crisis. unfortunately in some of part of what is happening there. has to do with some social net social messaging around an anti vaccine group and this is now being measured in the lives of children who are who have died and in the course of this outbreak so how do vaccination rates and some compare to other countries well globally the vaccination rate for measles is around 85 percent and some more it sits between 30 to 40 percent that's according to united nations estimates and that's much lower than its

pacific neighbors like tona where even us national rates are above 90 percent when it speak to a lesser in the someone capital appiah is the editor of the observer. why have we seen such a major outbreak of measles in samarra and how worried are people their families about this outbreak. or where there's a greater or a review of the specs there or. if it was only for you. on how is this kind of the roads. are where are we more or ever cared quite remote. areas are poor. nation babak or who are misbehaving now. because of what well what happened to those babies and marcus is a much. tougher how much of

a role has social media and the internet played in trying to convince people not to have their children vaccinated. well you really look at is it is one of the factors i mean you don't. want to be one of the role of social media these days but this is only kind of brought up in the last year or so sore i guess that the our economy you can really lay for him you know what mom. let's look at the broader regional picture i mean even some more specific neighbor like tom that has a 90 percent vaccination rate is a sense that some are lacks the money the resources and perhaps even the political will to tackle this problem. maybe it's already really your partner or is going to really have hundreds wait and someone who. you really intimately to help us in the matter it was the one who was able to examine or to handle something like this and asking that question but more wants or is the most looking at the

number of people who are by. nature its parts there. might offer just a final question to you i mean the united nations says the global vaccination rate for measles is about 85 percent but in samarra it's somewhere between 30 to 40 percent so what wider row can the u.n. and the world health organization play in helping you with that in some way. wanted to get to the beach areas you know they just need to put around him and in her heart the state is a mess vixenish inevitable communities. you know realises country we have we do have. struggles and might meet in the case of the government might be an issue but i haven't really the united nations bones are you know we need the resources green men our and they couldn't come for the next mission and so you have to know who areas. are right to modify kenny lesson. thank you very much indeed for talking to
