4:04 pm
happened we do have a new outlook for a law which has 9 made some changes to the approach so some but many doubts whether this will actually in the coming elections in june whether that will actually result in the changes that protesters have been demanding in a force there is one thing that they've been asking for which the government which is currently less bible father me has yet to deliver and that is justice for the over $600.00 demonstrators who have been killed many of these protesters accuse groups that are outside the regular chain of perpetrating violence against demonstrators and it appears that although the prime minister has promised to deliver justice has not happened in many question whether you actually have the ability to do so simona fulton there for us in the iraqi capital baghdad thanks so much some. last year's protests in iraq where the largest anti-government movement since the fall of saddam hussein back in 2003 the capitals to reassess where that

4:13 pm
its good will for the people but the shift has come not as a result of the youth because. of the hard core old people but they passed and now we have the youth but it's significant in the sense that we are in a situation today especially for the new government it's a situation where you are coming in where you have to live in 1000 and you have a ship which has lost its engine a ship which ones lost this rishon and it's moving towards the show it's how do we move forward this is a challenging time for the opposition but i am confident that the new government will be able to meet the challenges of the of the new era to bring say shares into the to the show. now an international treaty to ban nuclear weapons
4:14 pm
has now been given the final ratification it needs on saturday hungary's became the 50th country to ratify the u.n. treaty that sets off a 90 day countdown to take effect the move has been praised by activists but the united states and other nuclear powers remain strongly opposed to it this treaty will officially come into force on january 22nd 2021 requiring all ratify and countries to quote never under any circumstances develop test produce possess all stockpile nuclear weapons and also bans any transfer or use of nuclear explosive devices as well as threatening to use such weapons but nuclear states including britain china france russia and the u.s. have not signed on campaigners hope that the treaty will raise awareness of the dangers posed by nuclear weapons we can now speak to rebecca johnson she is the founding president of the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons which was awarded the nobel peace prize back and 2017 she joins us now from london
4:15 pm
rebecca 1st it congratulations i imagine you've been celebrating today. well thank you and i think the congratulations are due to the of the hundreds and thousands of campaigners all around the world who as part of i can work so hard to get this treaty and very and when we got to work very to diligently and hard you know to persuade and explain the treaty to their governments and bring them to signing and. ratifying this which now as you said 50 states are now states parties and the treaty will enter into for interfere into full international legal divorce on i think it's the 22nd of january 2021 or why is it taken this long to get here who or what was holding this whole process up. well may you ask obviously the nuclear states and states that came to believe after
4:16 pm
the bombing of hiroshima nagasaki in 1945 that nuclear weapons could be an instrument to coerce other countries they called this to terence and they built then arsenals that got up to 50000 in the eighty's and somebody who has worked really hard certainly since. 1995 directly with the u. n. and the nonproliferation treaty and the comprehensive test ban treaty i think it's really important to recognize that this treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons it was negotiated in the u.n. general assembly in 2017 it is a u.n. multilateral treaty and it is as secretary general good tennis said it is a powerful important pillar in the nuclear disarmament a nonproliferation regime for the future so out task now is actually to make sure
quote
4:17 pm
that this gets applied to all the states that have nuclear weapons or nuclear capabilities or who hosts nuclear weapons as as some nato states do and to work together to make sure now that this treaty is not just entered into force because we know that's happening but for universality and various occasion and implementation of this treaty which is what the states parties are now going to start meeting to achieve a mention universality that i want to ask you about the actual implications of this treaty and given that none of the nuclear states have signed up it will presumably change very little in practical terms. you know i have to completely disagree with you for example the nonproliferation treaty only had 3 of the nuclear countries on it when it entered into force and it took some of them actually france and china in particular some 20 years and other nuclear states india pakistan israel
4:18 pm
never joined never signed and north korea also as we know has been trying to to test and acquire nuclear weapons so we have a 9 problem state as far as international security is concerned with the threats of animate major risks and dangers from nuclear weapons now that the treaties and to enforce we have the legal and normative instrument and it's backed by a growing number of states not just the $84.00 who signed that but many more in the pipeline what we have to do is work together as happened with all treaties to build up and a verification and implementation system and to bring those additional states on board now i can has already been persuading cities all around the world including washington d.c. and los angeles and paris and and manchester and edinburgh here in the u.k. and many more around the world to sign support statements that they
4:19 pm
want to get their governments to bring to sign and to bring into force of the treaty probe it prohibiting nuclear weapons now these are powerful important cities why they signed because cities a target a nuclear war and it would cause a massive humanitarian catastrophe if any nuclear weapon by accident or by intention were used in in any of our towns and cities around the world now this together with an i can project with pax on don't bank on the bomb which is looking at the whole issue around financing. nuclear weapons which is prohibited. under the clause that bans assisting anyone any whatsoever not just states but also non-state actors and institutions from you know assisting or encouraging any one state or nonstate to commit acts that this treaty now printed it. these kinds of
4:20 pm
initiatives are getting some of the financial institutions quite large ones in some cases and banks to withdraw or to divest from pain for nuclear production and increasingly the people in the 9 nuclear armed states and i actually mean all of the 9. do not want their money and results says to be wasted on nuclear weapons that threaten the whole world when they want actually it in these age of climate emergency and cove it yes surely and after recognize nuclear weapons are just an outdated 20th century nightmare and now we need to put the resources into tackling coheed building up our health and emergency and care services and also dealing with the climate emergency that doesn't go
4:21 pm
away or better because i don't want out of fear i do want to offer. on getting this treaty signed thanks so much for being with us here on out of there thank you on our protesters are gathering in the thai capital bangkok after their demand for the prime minister to resign by saturday has not met prime mr pryor charges says he will not quit the demonstrators say his hold on power is illegitimate after last year's disputed elections they have held mass protests for weeks now calling for the reform of the government and of the monarchy. well our correspondent tony chang is in bangkok for us tony talk us through what you've been seeing on the streets of bangkok tonight. well as you say the prime mover deadline for the prime minister resigned resigned was last night at 10 pm he didn't say and as promised the protests have come out again in large numbers but it has been rather a different protest today if you wander around the protest site loss of different
4:22 pm
speeches going on not the central focus that we've seen in the build up to the lots of the last couple of weeks in addition to which a lot of the tension that we saw particularly culminating in water cannons and riot police there dissipated to the all that artistic clearly taken the choice to move there are police here but they're standing well back from the protest site and transport lines into the city haven't been cast as they were last week and people are coming and going in fact people are still shopping here this is the central shopping district in bangkok and people still going to the shopping malls and having a look at the speeches going on at the protest site but the message is still very clear they want the prime minister alex they want reform of the monarchy and we've been hearing that echoed very strongly by the protesters all afternoon or tony given that the deadline for the prime minister to step down as really now well and truly past is there actually any chance he'll go.
4:23 pm
i don't think so he's he certainly dismissed it on a number of occasions last night he was making a marriage of a local temple and said absolutely not when asked by somebody. but there is going to be pressure mounting internally this week in fact tomorrow there's going to be an extraordinary session of parliament 2 days discussing these protests they'll also be another protest in the protesters themselves have decided to march to the german embassy there hoping to put pressure on the germans. meant to put pressure on the king not to return to thailand but when asked why they were doing that they said well why speak to the door when you can push its master i think in a rather derogatory term referring to the relationship between the king of the prime minister but it's going to certainly turn up the heat with these protests now happening every day closing down large searches of bangkok and the protesters
4:24 pm
pretty much operating as world will one wonders whether the authorities are going to be really in for that much longer tony this extraordinary parliamentary session that's set for tomorrow or is there room for compromise here. it's going to be tough i mean i think everyone's pretty much laid out the store the protesters start to these 3 core demands that the current administration resign that there is a constitutional reform and that those protesters in protest leaders have been locked up or released but we heard today that 3 of the key protest leaders who are currently in jail with more have additional will not be given bail. we know that the prime minister is disturbing down on constitutional reform which is supposed to be looked at by parliament couple of weeks ago has been postponed indefinitely so nothing really seems to be moving forward. but again with this kind of pressure
4:25 pm
building up remember when these protests started they were once every 2 weeks then they became every week now they're happening every day it's going to be putting an awful lot of pressure on both the administration and parliament to make something change tony chang there on the ground for us in the thai capital bangkok with all the latest thanks so much tony. and our cause are growing for the release of 12 hong kong activists arrested by chinese officials over their involvement in the pro-democracy movement there hundreds have now protested in taipei but a group was arrested at sea while trying to get there by boat and august members of the group are accused of manufacturing explosives arson and rioting in hong kong. observation parties have been holding a rally and blog just on province in pakistan the mass demonstration there and cuesta against prime minister imran khan is now the 3rd in a week they've been organized by the pakistan democratic movement it was formed
4:26 pm
last month by 9 major opposition parties it's accusing the military of backing khan in a rigged election 2 years ago the has more from islamabad. emraan kong government obviously will be watching this very closely but this is a plan from the opposition party the lines that it's going to take several months to unfold they of course have been accusing the government of. north having the capability to run their state of affairs obviously those allegations of corruption but it should not be forgotten that this particular line said because they have a common enemy and that day is the present government it includes religious parties also include the progress on muslim league and the bugs on people's party who've ruled this country for over 30 years and some of the problems that you see today are also because of them and also because of the failure of the present government barred emraan cronje government of course would be why did and watching where the opposition which is
4:27 pm
a lose the lines that should not be forgotten this does conclude political parties will be in bickering fighting end up autistic using each other so it will be important to see whether the opposition alliance is able to remain intact and read that they're going to be able to build up the momentum that date said they want to build up before their final marjon islamabad which would probably be by the end of the show we love to see what happens within the next few weeks and right as a government really take this seriously or not and all that's been happening at least 2 people have been killed in a bomb explosion in the lot just on that blast took place in the housing ganji area of quechua dozens are said to be injured police say the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device that was fixed on my cycle. now afghan security forces say they've killed a senior al-qaeda leader who was also on the f.b.i.'s most wanted list. was killed during a special operation in gaza
