i have many of the excitement to my brazen example. i see the men who sell football just, you know, the revealing eco friendly solution to come back. threat to our planet on al jazeera. ah, ah, i'm can fidel and dealt with headlines on al jazeera, the taliban of just seized a provincial capital as they make their gains through august on the center of the southwest and city of their own. she is now under good control. this is the capital of numerals problem. diplomatic editor james base has the latest from cobbler. we have 2 light witnesses confirming that the city of the ranch in south west and afghanistan has fallen to the taliban. that is the provincial capital of numerous

province. and that would be the 1st provincial capital to be in the telegrams hands . i tell you the government say that they are on the outskirts though obs arranged and battles continue. but in the center of the city, we know that all the key buildings and the governors compound, apparently they surrendered there without perhaps a bullet being fond. i'm being told the only building in the center of the range that is not under the taliban control is the office of the african intelligence that they are still putting up a fight. israel's eye and dawn defense system is intercepted. 10 rockers fired from southern lebanon, fire, and founded in northern miss rowe. and the occupied golden heights after several were fired. as below, has claimed, responsibility is, well, has responded with artillery fire. at least 8 people have been killed and wildfires ranging across much of turkey. already have contained nearly 205 over the past 9 days. but several are still out of control. tens of thousands of people have had to

move to safe areas. wildfires burning across parts of greece have 4 more evacuations near the capital, athens 5 is continued there if it's through the night to stop the flames. from reaching populated areas, the prime minister is urging people to obey evacuation orders and not to try and defend their own home. flooding is damage homes and farms and washed away roads in north korea. ruined crops are threatening to make a hunger crisis even worse. a sanctions of the country all from age and imports lead to kindergarten had previously warned of a 10th food situation. china has attacked the us offer of temporary refuge for people from hong kong. president joe biden says anyone from hong kong residing in the us will be allowed to stay for another 18 months. but as they headlines, so i'll have another update for you here on al jazeera after once upon a time in punch bowl. a reason

preventable disease. 15 to 10 children in the production channels, cases in the new way. i i

i 3 months after the riot, a new bond between wider and arabic strain is formed on cornell, a beach working with the 3rd lifesaving association and chronology shy council. the lebanese is trading community launches and initiative called on the same wave where she would have that we train some muslims in becoming lifesavers. so not only did i say what being a last cyber is about, but they also can give an opportunity to people to understand what they are about me. i guess having witness the colonel riots and other forms of racist attacks. i fell into the trap of the victimization mentality. way of poor me, poor muslims,

poor beneath. you know, i'm sitting here thinking, you know, this person needs to do something, and this person needs to do something. i thought, why don't i do something? mikayla is 19 years old and about to make history. she's the 1st muslim woman to ever train as a lifesaver. and he's one of the 1st to where the a straining designed the caney day. putting on the red caney was amazing. it gave me the freedom. within the water it was an amazing feeling to, to be back into the ocean. swimming comfortably, freely make the training logs and other 17 and we had many injuries. someone broke the arm, some of my injuries included

a fractured nose. a wave had carmen had lifted the board and so it had smacked me right in the face. i had serv, attendance in my fingers, i sprained both ankles at the same time, even though i had sustained all of those injuries. i just kept going because i wanted to be able to achieve my bronze medallion. so it's a great personal achievement for me. one of my proudest moment in my community life. when zeus kids graduated as a weird i truly as you call knowledge i. when they looking at mecca and that red and yellow bird kitty patrolling the beach as a volunteer. i was proud of what she has done. australia should be proud of what

she has done because what she did was 1st and award in the end, the initiative does not end bigotry on the beach. racial harmony is more and uneasy truth. but make a law and her fellow my favors make their point. i wanted to be able to put out there that muslims and muslim women in particular as well just as easy as anyone else. and i hope that having achieved that, that that message somehow resonated with everyone. oh, this 3 years later, make a law joins jamal to head, south, west sydney, labor in pay, jason clare and the future ministry of the immigration. scott morrison on a journey to the very heart of what it is to be a strain in today to code a jason was to bring kids muslim kids.

and scott was to bring lifesavers from shore area called the my cheap trick because the people from different sides can be made. so everything about my chip, everything that was kind of was about stood for the sense of sacrifice that sense of belonging. we want to take them through and go through that experience once your in conditions like that, you know, working through the mud in a rain forest. it's quite easy to, to look beyond the physical appearance for a lot of people didn't say, mean, you know, the girl that went to cash and i didn't see that person as just a lifestyle. you couldn't say that one person was more astray

alien than the other. when we stood at anzac day at the issue of immortal. and let me tell you one thing. all over differences, melted into one. we were old, one. we were old or sad. ah, there is one other breach being built. the police have been working and improving their relationship with the community. but the colonel or riots is the catalyst for even more action. we ramp up multicultural liaison officer program. these are not police officers, unsworn staff, as we call them, who are embedded in a large number of police stations. around this, the sidney area. we established a consultative committee for the commissioner, which is populated by a really the, a range of representatives of ethnic communities. we also have now high tron

coordinators position and it simply somebody who dedicate a working life to monitoring issues of high crime. and i think we're, we're lucky because there was a lot of good people that meant well at that time in the police force. and in the community in 2006, there is one police initiative with which some in the lebanese australian community, and not impressed whatever it takes to get back control the streets who are the biggest night. so strike force gains wanted later thank don't experience and evidence gathered during a crackdown on a murderous term for in south west sydney. the new south wales police expand the charge of task force gain and form the middle east and organized crime squad yourself. oil has made a decision which many other states have refused to actually label the people as the

criminal problem. ah, so it said we're going to have a middle east and organized crimes quote, something which specifically targets middle east and people that did not help. i middle eastern crime squad. i can understand it if it was in the middle east. i just can't understand. detrimental logy and sydney. we never be unhappy with such a min ology. we're still not happy with the minority because it actually works against old bridge building between us society and the police. i think the middle east organized crime scorned is called that name, because that is actually what it investigates and certainly some within the community feel that's a good thing. then others also feel that it's a bad thing and that it punishes everyone from the least in background. i don't see

it that way. i am of middle east and background myself, and i feel tarnished in any way. in july, 2006, the nation's respectful and loyalty to lebanese australians is made clear. when israel launch of air attacks on part of lebanon in its war against his below, the howard government evacuate over 5000 trailyn, stated him to his credit. john howard and the difficult circumstances evacuated these citizens in a way that was very difficult, very costly, but humanely and sensitively done. i have no doubt there was the victim ration was conducted, made us feel that we are no longer australian or 2nd class citizens. we

are truly as anyone else, and there is another event which is destined to change the fortunes of many in south wasted need. lebanese australian community. it is now 5 months since she had div walked through the door, the punch bowl boys high. oh never forget the dial out of the punch for boys high school. was i taking on something that was just too big? why was i doing it? why would i get myself that hit all of those questions that were running through my head while my jumping out of a for i came into the fire when i walked in 2006, i felt that the voice itself, for a long period of time as a school i was struggling, number's numbers were dwindling. there was, there were threats of closure. they were, they were the things that just weren't, weren't going well as a school and, and every diet seems to just learn from problem to problem to problem. in the late

19 ninety's, the school was just 10 minutes away from one of sidney's most notorious drug dealing areas. to load the histories. once again, dozens of police were done the notorious on poetry to murder drive by shooting for residential. i've had enough one of the biggest difficulties you have been running a school if you can't control what's going on outside of the school. the school becomes a melting pot of it's local community and you've got something like to be a straight which keeps coming up in the news when the school has got the title that the same name as this other that keeps getting that negative media attention. it does have a massive effect on the school. you got up and they didn't want, did represent a generation of young professionals who decide they want to give back to the community and build it. that emergence, not just did, but

a whole generation of young people who tertiary educators with a critic vision, which is both lebanese muslim and astride. it means that there is a new agenda that is possible. i thing i noticed was there was a sense of helplessness amongst the students. we had great features and had been try really hard but there was but there was, there was like a feeling that they've been a give up mentality. quite a few principals had come and gone, staff didn't stay long, which is always indicative of the school. it's in a bit of turmoil. it wasn't a place where anybody aspire to go to, didn't want to teach a punch. bo boyd, the students and where they belonged. and i'm talking about not only the school, but no water powder sighted. they didn't feel like they belonged anyway. but they needed to, it's actually needed someone to love him that i needed someone to believe in him. and someone who could say, hey,

you can do this by 2008. she had has been appointed principal. and over the next 2 years, student number is increased by around 70 percent. over the same period, the school records, the nation's highest improvement, right in test results for literacy and numeracy. jad dbhdd is changing, young lebanese australian boys lives like 13 year old nigi who has just started a new 7 on a phone, go to the school, didn't look anything at all. and i just didn't want to be there. i spent most of my time in the toilet smoking. i'm working during school. i was out of school, my friends used to get up to a lot of things. i sang out of a little bad people, least like little drive. and it doesn't take him long before he's in trouble with the principal always used to give us all we do in schools always gets the

and i said on this one time out of what i thought the guy front of all the teachers, students, parents, parents were getting scared and i fight of the kid safety straight away. one guys didn't even hesitate. no g suspensions mount? when he turned 15, he's taken aside by jer, had dib, yesterday told me and my school martin, because i feel this girl for to a trade. you know, say philips have cause us by he is going to be wasting time. nigi is now to use into a plumbing apprenticeship. and the influence of his old headmaster is still strong . i think that mr. the really helping him set my last together. because now the start of my own destruction from a company and i take on for the sexual sites, i have a lot of students from l areas and i take more,

give them the partnerships and get them working. so that on the, on the streets and it's something back for us, for what they value to me. you can't describe how good it feels to be able to make someone's life better. and to be able to make all help them make the right choices in life. once upon a time university, it wasn't an option. it's, it's there where once upon a time you will look down upon because you want it to be a tradesman. let's get you to try them. we save kids and we get kids on the right track and we get kids to become successful. and what is to make a difference? no matter what? at any cost. ah, i today punchbowl boys high continues to record 10 of the nation highest growth

rates in literacy and numeracy over so many lebanese is trailing families. the school is more than a sort of tried. it's clear and effective praise that their children a less likely to be lost to the straits. it is long before the community finds itself, once again in the negative media. ah, the court heard that the men had stockpiled weapons, chemicals, and bomb making instruction. in 2007 after a 3 year investigation, the value of a close relationship between the middle east and community and the police is demonstrated went straight, is biggest ever counter terrorism investigation? operation pen. dennis comes to court in melbourne and sydney. i sent you to a term of imprisonment of 20 years operation in den. it's started wednesday counter

terrorism unit, and the victorian police received information from us in the community about a small group of australian muslim working to plan a terrorist act. it was members of those communities who felt that some had drawn off the raf and that it wasn't right. and that they needed to do something about it unless we'd engaged with the community and have the support they will probably never succeed. it's after was when they confidence to build their credibility with them, to build rapport with them in a time of non crisis. you cannot get to these communities after something very bad has happened and say, look, i haven't bothered to get to you, but trust me. i was

in 2012. the community faces its biggest challenge since the colonel arrives a controversial film about the prophet muhammad spock the furious wave of anti american protests across the great the in a few days later, it arrives on sydney's doorstep. when 200 people demonstrate outside the u. s. consulate through afternoon, cdc meetings, you cannot simply read the message and say that, you know, this is a freedom of which is quite significant. very, very small proportion of these communities paid any attention to the purchase. and i think one of the reason that the case and because they learn from cornell law, that we can always be so emotional and irrational when,

when dealing with things like that, they marched down to hyde park, most families had left. and then that's when it's sort of got out of control. they created an opportunity for the demonstration, which was peaceful, to get hijacked. has been shut down with hundreds of angry muslim protesters receiving the yes, we do love the process, but that's not the way you defend to profit image and reputations do more damage to the profit and islam than the actual video itself. oh, oh, i get a big job. interestingly, what happened next is that the community itself saw the footage. so the news heard

the coverage and decided to sell me the. 1 latest of all of the different organizations quickly got together and said, we don't accept this, this is not what we can dine and we were this christ, others. so that in itself shows how far we've also come seems chronology. lebanese australian muslim leaders break ranks their counterparts around the world, openly criticizing their own community over the past several days. high profile with the leaders had both been out against the actions of a few. slimy organizations will not allow for such activity to take place because at the end of the day, the only community will be tarnished by that exercise is the starting with the community. it's not easy for community leaders to criticize some of the rhine

and it hasn't happened too often, but certainly on this occasion, they were unequivocal of the condemnation of what happened of the support of the police. so we all have to work together to ensure that we live in this great country. i think it was a really fun moment for the muslim community, and i was very proud of the way over the community handle itself. i was very proud of speed. we mobilized over the community effort to diffuse the situation and to send the messages in a different forces, but same message. and the message was, violence will not be tolerated. not now, not ever. the deliver needs a straining community has spent the last 30 years under age. no other migrant

community has had to endure the same. but after 3 decades of pain and struggle, the community has emerged stronger than i am really proud to be part of this community. please, so to zillion that has survived the gold full saddam hussein, the gang rapes, john howard, pauline hanson. and we have proved to art as australian as anyone else. i think we have developed a platform where we've really dealt with pretty much every thing that has been thrown out of cultural issues, identity issues, settlement issues. we've dealt with racial issues with issues in faith and extremism. we've, i don't know what else there is to come, but i'm sure that will be something. but i just think we've developed a platform and a resilience that is so strong. and like any group of astrology and living in

a big city, the people of southwest, sidney face challenges, gang activity and gun crime still exist, but it talks, the minority is no match for a decent majority. fighting for a positive future. there's a great sense of hope and, and out of everything comes great and the community live in a community, the whatever community. what a 1st of all my source when i have a seat, i put as much draw and so i came into my all the x and i have a do it i. ready my name, my parents, sit back and they know them at the right decision with us. and we never came here for anything other than to have a bids in and will continue contributing. i'm

a high school principal, i'm a commissioner and a community relations commission. one of my brothers is a boxing champion to my brothers, run their own businesses. my sister is a beauty therapist. we are all giving and we're all part of the society. i think my parents to, they just sit back. sometimes it's a little bit reminds me of the castle at the very end, when it's a kerrigan sits at their back. you know when he's patio and he just sit back and he's just happy. and that's my parents back and i go with somebody. good me in
