if you've been vaccinated, you don't need to wear a mask. it's a personal choice, those required to wear a mask or those have chosen not to get vaccinated, but given the up to can cases from the very highly contagious delta, very of all of that could change but officially for now, there is no change to the policy but it's something that's being discuss indonesia is now the epicenter of the latest wave of corona virus and southeast asia, fueled by the delta very. and it's reported on record 1400 deaths in just one day. but testing rates are low and the true figures could actually be much higher. the world health organization has urged the government to introduce a stricter lockdown. japan's capital co q is hit another 6 months high of new cove in 1900 cases. just the day before the olympic games opening ceremony, almost 2000 and positive tests were recorded over the past 24 hours. that's the highest figure since mid january. and that's this fight tokyo being under

trying to decide growing opposition. my running costs in japan, thousands of athletes will compete in empty stadium. amid the run the by with panoramic audi 0 will be inside the bubble to bring them later phones, games like no other i in under the orders. if the police commissioner pays ryan 200 offices, right? hello p a strange with the meteor in time. we did stuff a lot, but it was only zeus. people who shot killed don't was a drug who was against the move. ah, in the coming days in grades across south with sydney, the police crept down on known criminals and their associates. eventually

24 men arrested. the people living in principle, we knew that was happening a couple years before. before that it wasn't anything new to us. but you could possibly be the lay matter would have woken up the police. and i'm glad that he did because suddenly change things a few years after that. so there was a lot of a lot of clean up, i guess him punch bowl straight after that. i i think incidents like the matter of edward lee fica stuff very intensely, very quickly on having enough of a dialogue and narrative credibility. understanding with that public so that they have faith and can come forward and give you information and talk to you need would lima. and then in a series of incidents and staff with sydney around that time,

5 young police stuff. they're still alive after they station was fried with gunfire, but the gangsters don't go down without a fight. 12 days later, they open fire on the camera police station with semi automatic guns, 5 police officers as vulnerable a targets in the shooting gallery. in the drop by shooting of came a police station was a confronting event, probably unprecedented. so it resonated with me is that it was a direct and very blunt challenge to authority to police and to government generally and to society. i have to say sort of a cowardly way, really of attacking someone and trying to intimidate them and threaten them without having to confront them. certainly the shooting of like came to a police station fitted into that category. ah,

a state election line and both sides of politics compete to bang the law and order drum. the small minority of gangs that the focus, but an entire community and culture feel the have more in order will prevail through a strong well resort. probably equipped police force these gangs will be wiped rather than framing this as here is a community under threat from its own deviant rump is presented to the community and the water world as this is something that is particular and peculiar to this community. it's their problem, not else. and from then on the basis for the future, the bite is sit in a very nasty and toxic why i'm proud of my lamp. this cancelled me like, you know,

i'm dignity taught me how to respect us as an accept them. and that's the most important part at the height of the atlanta phobia. naughty a sally is employed at the local government family support worker in southwest sydney. i was always organizing on christmas hampers and christmas toys for family and children. i called one client, and she said nadia would you mind if i ask you, where are you from? my said, why are you asking me i'm from here. she said no, no, no. what's your background as it only beneath she said, but she won't be muslim. you're not muslim, aren't you? i said, thanks god, i mom was slim in 2000 after immigrating during the live in a civil war. cala nadia thought i have saved for their family dream home next to punch ballpark. first. think more thinking about it to

have a secure shelter for the family because coming from wool to have a secure shelter is, is very important that they seen horrified by what they hear unfortunately heating the gunshots in early morning. the 1st shock was, i mean, later on we moved away from who we came. he said we looking for safety. and fortunately, as soon as he has gunshots across the right from you, it was not a positive experience. the grandstand is actually, is a meeting point for all the gangs or all over sydney. after 12 o'clock, we got all these gang stand exchange drugs. they fought together. the shoot

should, together, gangsters will hang out across the inner grants, then at night. will be a haven for drug dealing, a haven for meeting with prostitute to be just it wasn't a taste that you would want to raise a family. i'd have to admit with our 7 year old man use old on the real is that police would be in need every single day call sally has enough. he rallied the neighbors and they take action or write a petition. it's all neighbor sign it sign the petition. i was paid hump out of the police to come and told area and do more lie take as well as

close, grand stand didn't. and after 6 months, every month it's the problem is in the school to get teased because my dad put speed humps in every street. in punch bowl. there was pretty funny like nights ago he stayed home from the bus it's, it's funny but does wisdom behind that? because my dad started putting speed humps around the streets of punch, both the gangsters. the dogs with the fast cars always want to speed down every street. they let them know that you're not welcome in punch book. as the community works with the police, the hope is the media focus on criminal activity. you will finally die down. but things are about to get a whole lot worse. me

to sidney olympian celebration of the modern, multicultural nation. but just a few kilometers away. the liberty, the surrounding community is about to be outraged. i found my shift early in the morning. there's been a suspected abduction and possibly a sexual assault of a young female and information that we had let us to believe that it could be one of the pucks in banks down senior constable. danny mccarty is lebanese, it's trillion. he's born and bred in south with sydney schools at punch bowl boys high in 2000, even new, comfortable with less than a year on the 4th and nothing prepares him for what he's about to find

me. i'm walking through this park and i can say he just got tissues on the gum, the ground, and then i noticed an old gentleman why corporation mile, and he's hunched or something and he seems to be distressed. i can say young came along the ground. so i don't know what was happening so i'm really can hold him to keep skipping more from from the young girl. but then i realize it is it's a father. so unfortunately in that situation, the father is found his daughter 1st. and it was clear that had been a sexual assault. it was a very, very, very traumatic experience. very, very hard thing to say. later on, the information came out that it was part of

a number of gang gripes that have happened and have were sitting very, very upset, very, very sad. and it was to me, one of the most deplorable, actually you can even to commit on someone else and just thinking what that go would have been going through at the time is just horrendous. now being that i've got to, i'm the father of a young girl, it's just something that i can comprehend and i would never want to be in that and that father's position. and i went out to another me the park in which it happened was only a few houses up from harris house being so close to home, the media and the police and the, and the stories. i mean, i have 3 older sisters and it's scary to to know that these things happen so close to home. when the rape occurs. mohammed cub rudely is a student at punch ball boys high. some days later, a new attack is

a stark lesson in the cruelty of sex crime. painstaking later police pace together a chilling pattern of crime. a gang of teenagers is raping young girls using unusual and degrading violence. but because most of the accused under 18, their names are not made public. what he's revealed is that they are all lebanese australian, not much happens about them until will after the olympics, when the, when the accused brought to court and suddenly the media are wrapped. what happened next is that there was an intense glare of media and public attention about what happened about the backgrounds of the use, and they will use that were involved from southwest sidney. i think it really shook the community towards coal. i think it really made every family question what

they were, how they were raising their kids because it was something that was unseen or unheard of unthinkable that people so local, so close to home could do something terrible to somebody and think that they had a right to do that, when the media storm erupt. name at crudely mohammed future wife is a teenager in high school. it was very scary. i think a lot of families became for their daughters. my carmen, the person, they thinking i'm never going to marry a lebanese moved from god because that's what they liked. and that's disgusting. the young women still just teenagers. i've really been degrading ordeal in the courtroom. hearing again and again, the horrifying crime committed against them in all they were 4 victims. 3 separate attacks in several locations in sidney south waived. the daily telegraph in

particular, finds the victims and gets them to repeat allegations about the words that the silence used against one of the victims that she was referred to as an all the peak and was told by one of the ripest. i'm going to lead style the woods lib style flash around the nation. suddenly the lebanese is trailyn communities accused. right, the racial reasons. people to the court demonstrated that is responsible for these vicious signaling crimes. as liberties muslims identify themselves live in these muslims formed in the plan of attack as literally as muslims bellenger and introduces. i new dimension. he moves from the notion which is

more widely hill, about ripe. so they are a small minority, often psychotic, sick minded people who at the age of the social world. and he places them in the middle as an exemplar of all muslim man. across the community, they were the threats received. they were missing just lift and little boxes. they were threats that muslim women would be dragged from the straits and raped in revenge and walking streets. you absolutely looked at differently. it would look as hey, could be another another, right? this could be part of that gang. oh, you know. and because all these guys came from the area i was living in the time it affected me even more. it's it shook my identity to the world, them and i knew who i was, but the world so many differently. we have all the all the

right built in the past lead you told that they were christian catholic will do exactly. yes. i did. okay. we did not go right. anybody. finally, the accused, a convicted and their names released. this is believe scave, the man at the center of one of the nation's most notorious crimes for gang rape. the only thing of the suppression order was welcome you needed to be named the community needed. the heaviest sentence of all is reserved for the 18 year old gang. later. the message is clear. aloud guess serving an unprecedented 55 year general term, the gang rape on appeal. the sentence is reduced to 31 years and name at cooper li believes the convicted did not understand the damage they did to their own community does not remorse. and i think that was the most awful

disgusting thing. and it was an example of what the quote was applying general difference. and i think the example was definitely set. i think the erotic society thought the lebanese muslim community were perpetrators of this type of behavior. when really what it said was victim us, individuals in our community, even the guilty behind bows, but for the community, the trial goes on. we were torn apart by the whole event. and the way the way it was publicized, we felt that we needed to defend ourselves against the media. we need to defend ourselves against a politician. we need to defend ourselves against all the hate mail that we received. we went afraid we were just afraid at that time we didn't know

what to do. i wasn't only live in ice, wasn't to experience this many liberties. christians also experienced it because in the wider public ignorant mind, it was simply enough to be arab lebanese from the middle east, irrespective of religion or faith, or lack of a community is under media. and as races tensions increase to the police presence on the strength. the, the drug gangs of the most of the targets. but as the crackdown continued, the underworld drunk supply continues to spread. the cabbage didn't stop. the drug distribution didn't stop. once you take a run around, unfortunately, there's someone there to take the place almost immediately. mm. ah, hello p a straight punch bowl one time to feed needs most notorious gangs. the

street as returned to its old suburban life. most of these people are now in prison or enroll put symmetry ah, but like a virus, the drug trade spreads to other areas of the tv ah, developed a new process of high visibility, high impact pushing through the through the walls, police. so we would get out a 100 police run operations through bank shannon, the streets of punch, ball came growing acura and those other areas to turn as many criminals as we could, me and punch bowl went through stability. and unfortunately, seems to be as a, as a calling process, where the place wake up realize that there's an issue quite a few people are arrested and taken to prison and everything goes back to normal. and then the next generation comes through and then is

a young kids who are influenced by money and the, or of buying a big tang gangster or a criminal who hang around with these flags and the mentors in the board to do this as a job. so unfortunately, they could be schoolmates or family relatives, or dropouts, or, or good kids at times me. and for wednesday, societies punishment failed to act as a deterrent. when i got out of job within 2 weeks, i was back to doing the same stuff that i was doing because i tried to find the draw while i tried to do something good and i just gave up. i was just so used to living the fun lifecycle after a year in prison and still on parole. westy is back into dealing drugs in the city to become a slave, to the club,

to the customers and to the money and just takes your mind to solve your power, your energy, and you're going to control of it's. you've made the steps to the for make money and fast way and it consumes, you know, what i was doing was legal and on you that more time to get quotes. funding to come. westy is court and his sentence to another term in prison. but while he's in jail, he writes down his life story as a warning to young people not to follow his path in climb. ah, the back in south west sydney. it's a law abiding lebanese is training people who are now faced with picking up the pieces of their shattered community. ah, say,

fell disgusted. by the way those criminal element was in the community have being conducted themselves. the community insult. there were victims of all these elements. there were victim of the gang rapers. there were victims of the media that were victims of the politician. there were victim of the police harder at the time that didn't know how to react it. the over whelming feeling was disgust buzz community soon, i have no recourse, no protection. so they become cynical, angry, depressed, multiculturalism as it were. took this horrendous kick to the stomach already reeling. any hope of recovery is knocked out by world events. nobody could have predicted without

warning, smith, any this railey and suddenly have the greatest challenge as arab israeli, and a brand of the enemy within and the community faces a new threat. after september, different over the young people have been under different kinds of fuel. it's no longer the get rich quick no longer the rock. it's even worse than that. was a religious radicalization. next time on once upon a time in punch bowl. why has been the furthest train in history is prosecuted under new law designed to protect the nation from carry them he wanted to belong? someone took him under his wing, taught him the wrong thing about the islam. you can call radicalism,

and you can call it fundamentally ism extremism. i'd call it someone calling up a hill and racism. it's ugly head as it's training born, lebanese a told to go back to where they came from. the last thing image there of, of, of a person who's just seems like they're running for their life on the boardwalk, at the beach. i think for those who are watching it is, how can i get to the me award winning programming from international. so make it one quick, so it's straight on the back side of the global discussion. what guarantee that liberty the right typically life giving voice the voice here in california. almost everybody's a paycheck away from being on house program that opened your eyes to view as well. today, this is what the picture looks like. see the world from a different perspective on houses. there's
