i think from my engagements with the afghan leadership, they are committed to that and. and so we look forward to, to them making progress, they have, they have the capabilities, i have a capacity to, to make progress and to and to really began to blunt some of the taliban advances. cuba attorney general says 59 people who took part in anti government protests, have been prosecuted. the charges include public disorder and closing non serious injuries. the biggest demonstrations in decades were held on july 11th. people dividing political change and protesting against poor economic conditions. and a storm approaching japan has made for good conditions. for certain things, debut as little and pick sport, brazil's itala vieira came out ahead in the men's 1st round. and japan's, you too hard on me has won the 1st of skateboarding competition, taking gold in the main street events. there are 5 new sports entitled,

they opened fire on la came a police station with semi automatic guns, 5 police officers as rumble a targets in the shooting galleries. me to drive by shooting of light came a police station was a confronting event. probably unprecedented. soapy 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 him, a police station fitted into that category. ah, a state election length. 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 use lamp. this cancelled me like, you know, even if you taught me how to respect us as an accept them. and that's the most important part at the height of the as lemme phobia. naughty

a sally is employed at a local government family support worker in southwest sydney was always organizing on christmas campus and christmas toys for family and children. i called one client and she said not here, would you mind if i ask you, where are you from? i 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, thank god i'm on was slim in 2000 after immigrating during the lebanese civil war, cala nadia thought i have saved for the 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 say horrified by what they hear and fortunately, heating the gunshots in early morning. the 1st shock was, i mean, live, i don't, we move the way from who we came. he said we looking for safety. and fortunately, as soon as you hear that has gunshots across, all 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, shoot together. gangsters will hang out across the in the grand sin at night.

will be a haven for drug dealing, a haven for meeting out with prostitute would be just it wasn't a place that you would want to raise a family. i'd have to admit i, we all are 78 years old, 9 years old on the real is that police would be, they 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 and punch bowl. there was pretty funny like nights ago said he stayed home from the bus it's. it's funny, but does wisdom behind me? because my dad started putting speed humps around the streets of punch bo gangsters . the dogs with the fast cars always want to speed down every street. they let them know, do not welcome in punch. but 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. was the me to sidney olympian celebration of the modern, multicultural nation. just

a few kilometers away. the liberty, this trillion community is about to be outraged. by my shifts 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 in one of the parks. in banks down senior constable. danny mccarty is lebanese, it's trillion. he's born and bred in south with sydney. gold at punch bowl boys high in 2008 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, on the ground. and then i noticed an old gentleman why caucasian mile. and he's hunched either 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 her father. so unfortunately messaged asian, 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. that later on, information came out that it was part of a number of gang groups 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 and but i've got to, i'm the father of a young girl. i'd say 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 happened was only a few houses up from her 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 coupled lee is a student at punch ball boys high. some days later, a new attack is a stark lesson in the cruelty of sex crime. painstakingly the police pays 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 1810 names are not made public. what is 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 or rupture. what happened next is that there was an intense glare of media and public attention about what happened about the think backgrounds of the use, and they will use that were involved from staff with sidney. i think it really shook the community till it's cold. 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, not 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, me thinking, i'm never going to marry a lebanese moved from god, because if 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 woods that the assailants used against. one of the victims said she was

referred to as an all the peak and was told by one of the ripest. i'm going to live style the woods lib style, flash around the nation. suddenly, the lebanese is trailyn communities accused. right, the racial reasons, evidence, people to the court demonstrated that is responsible for these vicious and sickening crimes as liberties muslims identify themselves live in. these muslims formed in the plan of attack as literally as muslims by ellen jones introduces i new dimension. he moves from the notion which is more widely hill, about ripe, so they are 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 men across the community. they were the threats received. they were mrs. just lifting lead 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 he 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 bills in the lead. you told that they were christian. catholics will do exactly. yes. i did model. okay. we did not go right anybody.

finally, the accused, a convicted and their names released. this is belinda gaff, the man at the center of one of the nation's most notorious crimes for gang rape. the listing 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 leader. the message is clear, loud scuff serving an unprecedented 55 year general term, the gang rape on appeal. the sentence is reduced to 31 years and name at coldly believed 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 quote was applying. general difference. and i think the example was definitely set

. i think there was a strong societies thought the lebanese muslim community were perpetrators of this type of behavior. when really what it said was victim was individuals in our community even more guilty behind bows. but for the community, the trial goes on with 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 over self. i don't against old 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. lack of a community is under media age. the and his races, tensions increase to, to the police presence on the street. the drug gangs are the most obvious targets. but as the crackdown continues, 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 to my dealing with the columbia straight punch bowl. one time to feed needs most notorious gangs. the street has returned to its old suburban line. most of these people are now in prison or enroll put symmetry, but like a virus,

the drug trade spreads to other areas of the tv ah, developed the 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 banks tan in the streets, a punch ball that came by growing acura in those other areas to turn as many criminals as we could. me and punch ball 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 to me and a young kids who are influenced by money and the, or of buying a big ta gangster or a criminal who hang around with these flags and the mentors in the board to do this

is a job. and unfortunately they could be school might or family relatives, or dropouts, or, or good kids at times me and for wednesday, that's all it is. punishment failed to act as a deterrent. when i got out of jo, 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 lifestyle after a year in prison and still on parole. westy is back into dealing drugs in the city . you 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 for make money and fast way and

it consumes, you know, what i was doing was illegal and on use 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, but back in south west sydney, it's a law abiding lebanese is trying and people who are now faced with picking up the pieces of their shattered community. me say, fell disgusted by the way, zeus, criminal element was in the community, have been conducted themselves to communities felt there were victims of all these

elements. there were victim of the gang rapers. there were victims of the media were victims of as a politician, there were victim of his harkey at the time that didn't know how to react to it. the over whelming feeling was of disgust was community school and 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 and this radians suddenly have the greatest challenge. as arabic aliens, 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 fluid. it's no longer the get rich, quick no longer drug. it's even worse than that, was the religious, that ridiculous ation. next time on once upon a time in punch bowl, why has been destroyed in history is prosecuted under new laws 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 that radicalism and you can call it fundamentally ism extremism. i'd call it someone calling up a hill. and racism ran its ugly head as its training born. lebanese told to go back

to where they came from. the last thing, if it's fair of a person who's just seems like they're running for their life along the boardwalk, at that age. i think for those who are watching it is, how can i get to the me in 2001 spread around very well. are australians accused of being enemies within and attacking the way of life? treated like we were old suspects. we were all struggling to adapt to the new found home out there explored the history of the lebanese community and australia once upon a time and punched on out era with
