8:35 pm
breached. when the security forces lock rounds of 2 guys at the protest as the crowd including dozens of john list, had to run to fight safety. but he's then fired gunshots into their banga co, more laughter, who participated in the pos, june 12 movement 28 years ago. the ideals they football have been destroyed by the political class. that's why they back on the street. now, you know, they do to go down says i'm going to be one of them. i don't i, we cannot put it in a month to month. you know, to do the june 12 movement was born after the announcement of an election in 1983, arguably the previous generous history. the window of that vote was later arrested by the military and died in detention. what followed,
8:36 pm
what protests and violence group venetian force in the military to organize another transfer of power to civilians. 6 years later that transition to civilian power is marked here every year as democracy de la. but so mike davis, who took part in last year, and the police brutality protested that turned violent the times. stayed away this year. seeing st. protest light, these can easily be hijacked by opportunities on the go. good thing guys come in. i'm just kid goes, i screwed up and i didn't want my to my country purchase. i also reported in other cities including the capital, a boucher, why poor, an anti government protest is closed. i heard of the protest security forces have been deployed in large numbers here in lagos and across nigeria. the purchase are coming at a time when i do apologize for failing to rain in widespread violence,
8:37 pm
corruption, inflation and poverty. worried about a repeat of the police brutality protest last year that resulted in widespread looting in arson. many businesses in lagos, remain closed on saturday. earlier in a nationwide broadcast about the day president mohammed bahati acknowledge existing challenges facing nigeria. he assured the public the nation democracy will continue to evolve and decide challenges i met, but millions of citizens burdened by inflation, economic stagnation and violence, say the change must happen. and now the reason i'll use ita lagos, nigeria, well civilian rule returned to nigeria in 1999, but it's still facing major challenges despite being africa. largest economy, it does have high unemployment and more than 33 percent of adults minus a job, many blame it on widespread corruption. recession and last year's drop in oil prices on groups of killed more than 36000 people in the past 10 years. displacing
8:38 pm
about 2400000 in the northeast and in central and north west nigeria, there's violence between farmers and ethnic for loni, herders, as well as visual entities and criminal gangs. ah, okay, let's bring in guests in a boucher we have mike. edu for a former director of nigeria, state security service in washington dc. we have america, ankle, head of the africa practice that the racial group and from coventry in the u. k. a . u. mussa, a political analyst. welcome to you all my edgy for coming to 1st. what hasn't or what has president, how redone since the last election that has got the country into such a mess? well, i think that the missing, if you said you, i believe that's what the protection of the
8:39 pm
students did show us the student needs to go to the doctor. ready to an, to their in washington, given that there are demonstrations in a boucher lake os port, harcourt is clearly a good, strong degree of coordination. is it your sense that this is beginning to look like an anti bu hurry movement? oh yeah, i mean it's clearly and highly movement. all several behind the protest. right? that's not new. we saw that during and after the end size movements last october. so yes, i mean there certainly several elements of major in society,
8:40 pm
better dissatisfied with the higher everything. hello mr. in coventry that cracked and that america and who is talking about, how was that handled in your opinion? i mean, arguably, it made the situation worse, not better. definitely, the abduction was still ongoing. the police and the security say they're making errors, but they haven't been very successful. why have not been successful? it's because of the handling of the situation in the country, particularly the not having the kind of equipment they need to fight the situation. so the handling hasn't been too good. the government hasn't been too helpful in the sense that the government hasn't told us exactly where the problem is. let's not forget that the security chiefs where there for a long time. i mean, the previous security is not the one that just that the previous one led by the
8:41 pm
army chief and others. they were there for a long time. there were cause to change them. the president did not change them for a long time and then said just to get him out of hand walker, her arm couldn't be controlled. they went out of control. the band indeed went out of control the there were a lot of fun crisis in healthy ways. and so on, one to go to your point and backside the president had to be forced practically to get these guys out of the week by that time it was too late. so this brought is a 4 out of all of these problems. many of those that came out yesterday to put test, where the little things in the se, and where there were a lot of those calling for break all of this. not with them, they do think this is where saying the same thing. i'm so sorry,
8:42 pm
part of the country that was quiet or the not wait, what was it? not. okay. even the way you rate, you're raising a lot of issues there and we'll try and unpack those in the time that we've got left mike at you for there in a future. if you were still involved in your old job, working with the security services, would you perhaps advise the powers that be not to suspend twitter? because when a president or a prime minister in africa suspends twitter or benz or bar, social media even just for 12 hours, say that does 2 things. one it in flames and situation usually and to it kind of sends out a stigma love. oh, i'm not in charge and i'm feeling really threatened. now be sure to do that. well yeah. with the so you
8:43 pm
know the government that was that was and i believe the solution between the government and to and who am washington should we understand why there is so much anger and the only place that people can get rid of that anger is on the streets, i mean on that idea of abductions, $800.00 children, had been abducted since december of last year. and this is a big money making part of revenue for the people who are doing the abductions. we understand reportedly, since it started with the cheapest schoolgirl's a $120000000.00 us dollars has been paid to the people doing the kidnapping.
8:44 pm
yes, so i wanted a couple of things, right. somebody answered this question and then just say quick thing about the question about twitter. one of the thing, but it's often missing a conversation about insecurity is how structural it is in there, right? and also the rule that they have to play when i say structural. so obviously you have, you have a very centralized police force, you know, and that comes in the constitution. you don't have, could have structural local intelligence gathering system which is essential to any sort of security system, right. and then you have a systematically underfunded an on the trained lease course. so i mean, we have to recognize that the, these are problems that didn't stop today or yesterday with this administration. right. and it requires a fundamental rethinking of police and in one chair on the question about twitter. i agree, i think it was absolutely the wrong move for the government to make and restrict
8:45 pm
and access to to, to twitter. i do think that one thing that has been lost in the conversation, and i just wrote a piece about this, is that twitter also made it, well, let me put it this way. one thing that had been lost in the conversation is that this incident raises very fear of what kind of duty of care social media companies have. his sovereign nations on dealing with issues of national security. right. i also demonstrated in the sense that it was the speech of a commander in chief threatening, an armed rebel group that was deleted, right without even consulting the government. and they also raises the question of a well on the like, highlights the issue. where can the referee, right? so if you have a social media company is the record, we are political speech and you haven't like this with certain groups of people organize to gain sympathy from the referee. right?
8:46 pm
that is, become in, i would say, a prominent issue now in politics of today. so that's, i think something that we should all be thinking about beyond nigeria, right. what does this me political speech globally? i think my do a completely this in the way that they handle it. i'm a conversation about juicy, of care from social media platforms. we're talking about twitter here is a perfectly valid point to raise. the cost is protecting the context of what we're discussing is maybe front of the program is maybe for another discussion inside story because all those social media platforms, all the apps, $1.00 has one phone. yeah, we should talk about those maybe at another time. audio melissa in coventry. unemployment is running at over 33 percent, 33.3 percent according to the latest that's as of today. that's the 2nd highest national rates of unemployment. any place on the planet? what can they do to turn the economy around because their asset rich oil and gas,
8:47 pm
but people are poor. people don't have jobs. what we know the problem we're made. yeah. actually it's not because manager hasn't got some the potential to do well the over the years oil has not been i wouldn't call it the kind of the right we saw us to rely on to do all of the one idea has been more of a cost for us, because we have complete evil, very light on each, meet the economy to be far more culture in the sense that we completely abandoned on what our forces songs in the country. and that is why everybody talks about oil . and that is why even the use not always rely on government to keep them employee and so on. a lot of file use, talented. what i expect the government to be doing. and we've got got me and started at the point, but i don't know how find the teaching back is to encourage people as much as possible to use the talent to be creative, that creativity on inquiry,
8:48 pm
people to be taught to cut them to pro nation. so that is the best way to create employment for young people. i know the government kim, which number of approaches. so if you can that it was initially on that the office of the vice president and then the ministry was. ready created to achieve that, the ministry for humanitarian intervention on that the the municipal people from said yeah for that shoot have don't last to be the problem of war and the people and employment in nigeria. ok for the 1st. okay. now do you think we're getting quite close seen to the different personalities in the characters that have an impact on that particular issue. so i just want to move the conversation on a little bit, going back to mike edgy for an a boucher, isn't it the case that mr. hurry may be wants to be seen as a strong man, but he's actually quite
8:49 pm
a weak president. he's not in control of any aspect. i might argue to you of the country at all. we've still got mass kidnappings going on. we still got regional troubles. we've still got an economy flat lining. we still got just as in 8 as of april this year. 1800 prisoners escaped from a maximum security prison very, very easily. he's not running the country well, i think the like you said, you need to be read the car about to. ready be change, which is about to which they need to be drawn to show that we get these saw
8:50 pm
that to be there to show the doctor the like i said the last let us look look to dish the dish to start a new start from the same solution for sure. in washington, coming back to you, is there almost a kind of a ritual istic, cyclical element to nigeria seems to me that whenever you get something that a president could tag or label this being quote, sedition in the regions because it's such a big country with massive rural areas that are not policed at all could because both of you had dent by that idea that the police force should be less centralized
8:51 pm
. and this is happened under consecutive presidents. this happened with mr. over sancho and good luck, jonathan. there is the addition. they that those presidents tag the people behind what they perceive as sedition as being radicals or they tank them as being a danger to the states that then leads to passivity and the risk goes away. but then it comes back again when we have the next president in the presidential palace . to my do so i am going to address that along with the question you asked. the other gentleman in boucher, which is like you said, look, my dear is the big country. right. and i think that when me, when we have these discussions about hiring not run in the country, i think we need to be realistic about the fact that you cannot expect if federal government will kill all of my carrier. i mean, let me put it this way, right? least then you can not expect
8:52 pm
a one federal government from abu jack to police all of nigeria. it's not actually practical. right? and it doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. and so, and the other part of it too, is that there is never any discussion about the responsibility of local or sub national entities in assurance. security. you know, what i mean? right now, even under the current structure, it is the state's responsibility to prop the we are breaking into programming to go live to the israeli connected in western them where a vote is happening right now. on a new coalition government. these are live pictures from the connecticut in western . this is an historic moment, could see the unceasing of israel's longest serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu sent to the opposition standing by for us, we have l just there is harry force that harry just run through what's happening
8:53 pm
now. so it just as you are coming to me that the it seems that one of the members of the united arab list, which is the palestinian israeli party, which has been supporting the change block for members in the connect it there was some discussion earlier on in the day that the, that one of the, those members was unhappy with some of the details of the coalition agreement. and literally, as you're asking me that question, the 2nd row call was asked he'd been absent side of her roomy in the 1st row. cool . in the 2nd row, cool. what i just heard in my ear at least was that he had abstained. now if that is the case, that means that it's 60 of the $120.00 seats voting in favor of the government,
8:54 pm
not a slender one. seek majority 6159 that they had been promising. they had 6059 . i'm just being told by my colleague as well. so that's confirm that it's $6159.00 is what they were expecting. what they were looking for. one of the members of the palestinian israeli party voting with a change block has decided to abstain. that makes it 6059 that could potentially leave things open to some kind of legal challenge. because this would be the 1st time that is really government and been voted through on a p a to reality rather than absolute majority. so this is a last minute hitch, whether it's decisive or not, we don't yet know, but it's extraordinary that at the last minute, this extra obstacle is extra road block has appeared before the change block. ok, harry will get your stand by there for us while we listen into what's happening there in the connected to the members who can assist. please be seated
8:55 pm
8:56 pm
do so as you can see there, these are pictures from inside to the israeli connected where versus just happened on bringing in coalition government as we heard there 60 votes for 59 against and surprise abstention. let's bring in there is harry forces. harry just walk us through what's happening there. well, as i say this one member of the united arab list, he was unhappy about some of the details to do with one of the key things that
8:57 pm
month's of us, the leader of that party had demanded in return for his support for this, this collision that would oust benjamin netanyahu to do with demolitions of better when structures and homes in the negative desert in israel's south. he had indicated earlier in the day that he may make trouble for the government. he may vote against it in various arenas, but the preponderance of what they were communicating was that he would at least vote in favor of the government. and they came out of a meeting ahead of this session beginning the leaders of the constituent parts of this coalition. saying that they had a government, this now throws things at least into some doubt. it's not necessarily the end of things for then potentially they could get through one, a slender as margin is 60 to 59. there are 2 extensions, one from the, the joint list, the, the mainly palestinian israeli joint. this, which was always going to be outside the coalition. another extension will
8:58 pm
crucially who was expected to vote in favor, but speaking to one of the one of the party members of natalie bennett, the new prime minister designate when we were talking earlier in the week about strategies and potentials. he was saying that if they don't get the full majority of the 61 out of 120 seats in these ready parliament, the connect it then it could allow some kind of supreme court a challenge against it. because this has never been done before. even imagine a slender, a 6159 has never voted in an israeli government before. now we're talking about not even an absolute majority, just one seat and that seat not even being decisive in terms of taking it to an absolute majority. so it is another extraordinary twist in this tale. as for what's taking place up until this we heard from natalie bennett, who is supposed to be prime minister. first under this new rotation will deal with his partner jala paid. he was talking about
8:59 pm
a government would come in and manage and steward the economy, deliver for israelis off the 2 and a half years of stasis and political crisis, and not even a budget being able to be passed. we heard from benjamin netanyahu, who listed his achievements as he saw them, put up obstacles very clearly defining himself in opposition. not just to natalie bennett, but to joe biden. the u. s. president. so causing real reactions between his outgoing, he thought, administration, and the u. s. presidency in order to put a big roadblock in the way of natalie bennett in terms of the question of iran and the nuclear deal also promising that he would do his utmost to scott, to this new government as quickly as possible. saying that he would be back and if he was to go into opposition, he would do so with his back straight. but this government would not last. so now we have to work and work out exactly where this government will indeed take power on this very spend the majority. i think the chances are that it will but that,
9:00 pm
that could potentially be some kind of challenge to it. so we'll, we've got another few very interesting to say the least few days ahead of us. yeah . some last minute twist than 10, which can never be rolled out for now though it does appear that this new coalition has, has come into into government that israel. 6 has a new prime minister of tale bennett and that for israel, the longest serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu is now in opposition. i believe we are going to listen in know things seem to basically be wrapping up there in the connected. how are you just tell us how it is that we got to this point? i mean we've had what for elections since 2019 in israel. how is it that even right wing parties.
