pushing for a completes political overhaul remember more than 400 people have been killed by security forces since the demonstrations began back in a talker similar faults and joins us now live from baghdad the prime minister has now resigned who replaces him well that remains to be seen and it's a very long and murky process that consists basically of the biggest bloc in parliament but also the other blocs negotiating among one another who will be an acceptable canada the prime minister doesn't have to run into parliamentary elections to be chosen to very much a process that is driven by the parties who win the elections and choosing the prime minister is typically something that happens through murky backroom dealings not a process that is transparent to the public at all but it's very much a process that has to get the support from all of the political blocs not just the

largest one in parliament from all the different sectarian groups and also from a regional as a global power especially iran and the united states for a sions have definitely already started probably as early as friday when prime minister up there rattie 1st announced he would be resigning and it remains to be seen whether the biggest block of prominent will in fact succeed in nominating a new candidate in the 15 days that are mandated by the constitution. will some or not these events all kicked off from those protests in the streets just how are people in react in iraq reacting to what's happening. well they are happy about the resignation of other that the matthew was one of their demands but actually they want the entire political class to be they want all of parliament to be dismissed including all of the political parties because their fear is that if the current system remains in place if the parties remain in place that actually put added of the matter into power they will simply choose somebody who is very

similar to him somebody who won't really bring about the far reaching changes that they're asking for so they really want president barham salih to decide harlem and which is within his constitutional powers and call for early elections under a new elektra law and until this happens and there is no sign of that really happening just yet until that happens people are not quite satisfied and not really willing to pack up and go home ok i have to leave it there but some afford to live in baghdad thank you very much indeed. well a line has been drawn on. these career cuts here lopez takes a look back at his short time as prime minister 2. a victory for anti-government protesters after months of violent clashes that developed marty said he had no other choice but to resign as a rexx prime minister. in that my resignation was essential to defuse the crisis

and become the situation in the country i hope the parliament chooses a quick alternative because the situation in iraq can't handle a kid like a government for long as i his resignation has done little to calm anger protest over high unemployment rate and a lack of basic services continued even after he announced he would go. critics say the former prime minister is just one of several high ranking officials who must step down. at 1st mark he refused to resign saying it would only add to the country's instability amid the crisis hundreds of demonstrators have been killed in clashes with security forces thousands more have been injured demands for marty's resignation only move out or. he became prime minister in october 28th seen at a time of unrest in the country his government promised to make things better but said it needed more time time however was a luxury iraqi politics now moves into unchartered territory the resignation of the

prime minister of the magically means the resignation of the entire cabinet. this is the 1st time that this happens in iraq so the legal ways forward would not necessarily clear but one way or another that 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. it took up then up to mark the more than 8 months to appoint his cabinet in 20 team would some accusing him of not cracking down on corruption fast enough in a country fractured by decades of war his supporters say changing the system was a process that could not be rushed oh god now iraq will begin a new era with a new leader. this is the young al jazeera. now iraq's political system relies on broad across sectarian and ethnic coalitions as 2 largest parties a shia both of whom are allies with smaller kurdish and sunni factions the

reformist blog led by the popular shia cleric mokhtar the other has the most seats in parliament and i mean he's been our party which includes the popular mobilization forces maintains close ties to iran as a liberal matter he was appointed prime minister in october last year and this was after a summer of answer government protests on the go see asians between listen parties but it depended on the support of the seeing main parties and struggled for months to form ministries. charms as an iraqi member of parliament sees as the difficulty now is finding a candidate everyone can agree on. this is exactly the question and the pile of on that also in among the political parties who would be the replacement not a normal replacement replacement that be accepted by the street by the protesters so there is no single political party that can form the majority in the iraqi parliament that can ask the president of iraq or send them that the names of the

candidates there is a common understanding in the parliament that no former politicians or the head of the political parties or those who were accused of corruption or even those who were part of the system after 2003 should not be considered as a replacement for the prime minister should be a fresh and somebody new that's that's the difficult question is how can you bring that how can you. bring the all of the political parties together to agree on one single candidate don't lee advantage is now we have compared to the previous. terms when we nominated or voted for a new pm or a new government was that there was no snow where pressure from the street this time i don't think we have enough time and i don't think the street will accept the further delay. a soldier and his wife in the democratic republic of congo have been

killed by an angry crowd the minute they were mistakenly being rebels and this happens in the eastern turn of benny in north kivu province the kurds attacked them after finding guns and bullets in their barracks they were suspected of being members of the allied democratic forces a rebel group which is blamed for killing more than $100.00 civilians in the past month well the u.n. peacekeeping chief visited any where there have been process against u.n. troops people say troops are protecting them from violence should be the. message is that you should make the wrong enemies we are on the side of the people of this region the congolese people are there any things we can do better of course they are and we will work on it are our partners with whom we work with every day also thinking about how to work even more closely with us the f a r d c armed forces the national police the authorities. and so i is in goma she

says people and i taking security into their own hands that killing of the couple yesterday by angry more than there was a child with a couple of when they went to pick a taxi to go to areas that nobody else is going to because they feel unsafe so the taxi drivers got uncomfortable question them the couple was not very clear on their answer they had no id and when the taxi people start the bag they found all this paraphernalia military equipment bullet military congolese military uniform as well so people gathered and don't there couple to death but the child is safe the fear is that happened people in beni have to they want to take charge of their own security because they don't feel that government security forces are doing it so they've set up checkpoints in some areas and are latching people who are coming in vehicles that are coming. in particularly from areas where the killings have

happened they say they do not trust anymore that the q 2 quarters with death with their safety and there is an ongoing operation in the forest to use a joint operation of the un and the military against a.d.f. you spoke to the book book plan of the military they that they are advancing and they've taken several bases that were being held by a.d.f. they killed a senior commander of a.d.f. a while but a lot of people dr in beni are saying why then even with the ongoing offensive and this vital he'll come to villages and kill people like we've seen in this week. as prime minister is expected to make an announcement shortly about his future it's esther's are demanding the resignation of joseph muskrats and politicians from his party have been meeting to discuss his future we're bringing you live pictures of those protests from the maltese capital the letter a musket is under growing pressure after

body has been perfect one of the reasons we're having this election is because we have a queen's speech that was blocked by parliament amongst other things not least breaks it and we need to get it done so that we can move forward i think it's ridiculous i think it's repulsive that individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only 8 years and that's he why we are going to change the law that the opposition leader jeremy corbin told sky news those convicted of terrorist offenses should not be forced to serve a full sentence i think it depends on the circumstances depends on the sentence but crucially depends on what they've done in the not necessarily again not not necessarily you know i think there has to be an examination of how our prison service is work and crucially what happens someone released from prison because. i need to know whether or not the parole board were involved in his release

the mediterranean sea greece says the deal is. nor is the president's overt signs of crete's which lies between the coasts of turkey and libya egypt says called the deal illegal while turkey insists it's about claiming its maritime rights but the baritone dispute between turkey and greece goes back a number of years it's also deal with the island of cyprus which has been divided since 1974 into turkish speaking north and the greek cypriot sun earth turkey has been drilling for oil and gas of the coast of cyprus which has prompted moves by the european union to impose sanctions it says turkey is infringing on cypriot so fancy but turkey has always said it does not recognize cyprus as a state where greece is pushing to lead a regional gas market which includes egypt and cyprus matthew bryza is a former u.s. diplomats he says turkey's refusal to recognize international rules makes the

disputes all more difficult to solve. turkey claims a total area of around 90000 square kilometers are on the medical its mediterranean coast but greece has a contending claim that would reduce turkey's area by almost 2 thing by more than 2 thirds and that's because there are some islands one island in particular custody so that extends very very far eastward into the mediterranean beyond the aegean sea and well beyond other greek islands grief says will that island enjoys the ability to define greece's territorial waters turkey says that's absurd it's a tiny island how could it have equal weight to thousands of kilometers of turkish coastline in determining where turkey's territorial waters lie and this is a dispute that's extremely difficult to resolve there is a framework out there the un convention on the law of the sea but turkey is not a party to it and by the way neither is the united states but love the sea says islands do acquire full force in determining national waters but again turkey

interim president herself janine in years has in the past sent tweets with racial undertones. but some groups russo glad to see change outraged by moralists is brutal crackdown on indigenous protest over a motorway in 2011. and then he's slow response to forest fires which burned through indigenous territories this year. back in what i had the restaurant owner you all are also says support here is conditional on political allegiance. it has because they give help to those who are from the party but those who don't belong to it don't get anything. 6 but few dispute the overall they were important games for indigenous people and the ever more or less the question is if those will remain a priority when a new permanent government is elected. john homan how does it or what
